Hahahaha! I can’t stop laughing. I don’t know which is funnier: seeing The Goonies video game being played to the beat of Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper or watching Captain Lou Albano (who played Mario in the Super Mario Brothers animated series) in the music video for the movie The Goonies. I can’t make up […]

I’m starting to feel sorry for Mario and Luigi. So much fan fiction, most of which on YouTube, and a majority of them plays up the plumber brothers’ negative traits to the point of absurdity.
Take, for example, this video series, dubbed Stupid Mario Brothers, by Rich Alvarez. They portray Mario and Luigi in the worst […]

And I thought I knew everything there was to know about Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System or Family Computer. I only correctly answered six of 15 questions! Sigh. I think I need to brush up on my Super Mario Brothers secrets.
Do you think you know more about the game than anyone else? […]

Talk about fanaticism. Producing cartoons is one thing, but stop-motion animation is an entirely different animal, especially if it concerns Mario and his twisted world. But someone’s eventually bound to do it. And so we have Super Lego Mario—the video game Super Mario Brothers done in (what else!) Lego bricks.
So far I’ve watched three videos, […]

I’m really amazed at the amount of fan-made videos on one of video gamedom’s most loved characters. Yes, I’m talking about Mario (”It’s always about Mario,” quipped Luigi in the last video we featured), and this time around, it seems our jumper-clad plumber is the victim.
As you have already probably guessed, the video is about […]

What’s with these videos of bad endings for our video game heroes? The other day, I stumbled upon a video of Street Fighter: The Later Years. A few minutes ago, I bumped into a video of Mario (and Luigi and Princess Peach) that shows our hero wasting his last life doping on shrooms and stars. […]

I was trolling for useful images for my growing Mario Brothers image bank the other night when I ran across these, uhmm, wonderful original artworks:
My apologies to the artists who created these Mario Brothers masterpieces. Apparently, the images, which I downloaded from Infosoldier, 1up, and Gay Gamer are reproductions as well.
Personally, I love the second […]

Okay, for those who aren’t really in the mood to read titles, I’ll repeat my request in the body text. Please look at this picture and tell me what you see:
What?!? You mean to tell me the sight of all those old video game consoles doesn’t turn you on? Mario and Donkey Kong should have […]

Unfortunately, not by me, but some guy who made a video of his accomplishment on YouTube. I never mastered Contra enough for a speed run, unlike my feats in Super Mario Brothers and Hudson’s Adventure Island, two other excellent titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Nintendo Family Computer.
With enemy fire coming from different […]

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time. Well, Aiza, blame it on Bayantel (whose service, sad to say, began to suck deteriorate [again] after my supposed speed and bandwidth upgrade—surprise!) and […]
