This season marks the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. What better what to say “congrats” than with a fan-made Super Mario game that puts Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3 and Super Mario World in a blender. Drink it up!
A faithful companion. A star in the making. Adoration, rejection, and finally, a triumphant return.
If her “awwww! Yes … !” reaction doesn’t melt your heart, then that little dog jumping and wagging his tail when they kiss will definitely finish you off.
Yet, another DS game piracy arrest. A 57 year-old cram school manager has been taken into custody for illegally pirated Nintendo products. He was arrested after complaints from Nintendo.
Whew, the election is over, and even here in Oz we are nursing a bad election hangover. America has elected a new commander-in-chief, and his face is being stamped on commemorative mugs and dinner plates, as well as flash games. Super Obama World has the President-Elect hop through the great frozen state of Alaska. Beware the lipstick pigs and Saks Fifth Avenue clerks!

We’ll concede that for goomba stomping purposes, some cleated golf shoes would probably get you out of a bind in the Mushroom Kingdom now and then. But in the real world, these Super Mario World shoes, spied at Super Potato in Akihabara, seem to have limited use. They’re certainly fancy and the white still gleams — almost everything in Super Potato has been well cared for — but if we were handed a pair of multi-coloured Mario golf shoes, we’d probably politely decline (or sell them immediately on eBay).
newVideoPlayer("smw_music_std.flv", 475, 376,""); By now, you must have seen the custom made Super Mario World levels that require no player, no controller to pass. They simply let Mario and Yoshi do their thing, as buttons, switches and blocks boost them through each level. None of those user created levels are as impressive as this 11-minute monster, which uses the sound effects from those switch-hits and Koopa Troopa stomps to make beautiful music. My untrained ears can pick out but a few recognisable tunes—Mega Man 2 and Super Mario World, I don’t know from Haruhi and Lucky Star—but song list help in the comments is more than welcome. Thanks to Spann for pointing us in its direction.
