    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spring 2026)

    Nintendo Today is doing a collectable card promotion, which I can't go into any more detail for because I don't have Nintendo Today. But the descriptions of the cards are being uploaded to the wiki, and I have a quibble with Bullet Bill's. When has Nintendo ever used the word "sentient" for...

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spring 2026)

    Well, final trailer came out and I think it answers everyone's questions about the film from a "what is the structure?" perspective. Yoshi joins the team before the Star Festival, then the two groups (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi | Peach, Toad) are separated when Peach's Castle is abducted. How they get...

    Is the way we're currently covering marketing material overkill?

    I'm anti-merge the browser games. I'm sure there's at least a few with real nuance. They're games, there's always some kind of trick, or quirk, or glitch. If even one has enough to grant it a page, then we really should put up with all of them. I very much disagree with the Bulbapedia take on this.

    Post Any Cartoon Thought On Your Mind

    You ever think its weird that The Owl House has Apple Blood be both the apple juice equivalent and the wine equivalent?

    Do you think using a guide to complete certain things doesn't let you judge a game fairly?

    I mean, if you consider "spent X amount of time looking" as a breaking point before consulting a guide, then I think noting that "this game doesn't appear to be designed to encourage using external resources but I found myself at the point where I felt I had to" is just as fair as "I spent X+Y...

    Talk about real life facts that you learned through the Mario series.

    I learned that "sluice" is a real word from Vamoose the Lava Sluice!. My memory says it's something dam-like. (This is tempered by the fact its hard to tell what Vamoose the Lava Sluice! is depicting, which means I never got to do the most important part of learning words: using them in a sentence.)

    post any random Mario thought on your mind

    I wish the Illumination films didn't decide on the title formula of going "The Blank-ety Blank Movie" because there could be some especially joyous titles. Its-a Super Mario World! Mario's Galaxy of Treasures Hop, Step, Super Mario! Then again, the latter two sound a bit like book or direct...

    The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spring 2026)

    Is there a reason to have both Power Stars and Grand Stars? The film already looks overstuffed, compressing them both into Power Stars is probably very sensible because it saves time. Considering film one had a Super Star, I feel like doing some flubbing and going with Power Moons probably...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

    Spoliers for the final battle of the film below EDIT: Oh, I should probably mention Fandango At Home has the movie available for free with ads, available here. No account is required. I think this is a temporary offer. But if you haven't seen film one, this is an acceptable way to watch it.

    None actually. I made an error. I confused Melee's startlingly early release (within months of the Gamecube releasing) for an outright launch title.

    archive.today is a security risk

    Considering we're only a video game wiki and not a service people use daily for important topics like Wikipedia, I'm personally willing to take the quality hit by blacklisting archive.today until they stop running the DDOS. This stance is in part because keeping the links but telling readers to...

    Post Any Cartoon Thought On Your Mind

    For a few weeks Capcom has been rereleasing the Mega Man Star Force anime on Youtube weekly (playlist) as part of a marketing campaign for the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. It's Mega Man but specifically within the double life superhero framework. My opinion on it is neutral to bad. I...

    In this old webcomic called Kid Radd, they made the Tetrimino expies want to be cleared, at which point the game would regenerate them.

    What are some Youtube channels you enjoy watching?

    Gamechamp 3000: The VG Myths series is the gold standard of the challenge run. Funny, memey, and semanticy, with quickfire editing that ensures even the hour long entries are just as watchable as the shorter ones. Even if I have no knowledge of the game in question, I'll watch its VG Myths...
