I was like that with gold. Started playing during Christmas and I felt like I had to dig every last bit of gold before the opening cut scene. I've spent a ton of time just digging for gold from then on. And then I learned that gold isn't there waiting for you, it appears randomly when you dig...
The 3DS had some great tracks! Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu, Rosalina Ice World, Rainbow Road. I'm glad Shy Guy Bazaar got in Mario Kart World, tho I think it loses its touch in the day time.
I believe there was a clown copter in the trailer for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, so expect baby bowser or grown up bowser. We don't know when the game takes place yet... (The clown copter is holing the book as it falls from the sky.)
Drawing with my dip pen is a whole ordeal. You gotta draw on thick paper so that it doesn't bleed and you have to constantly dip the nib in an ink bottle. With the felt pen I can just straight up draw in my sketch book. So it's basically a trade off of cleaner art verses quicker methods. The...
I've been using a Micron felt pen to draw my Mario comics for the 'Shroom and have been itching to try out my dip pen. So here's a test run of some Mario characters. I think they turned out nice!
Below we have Stingby, Para-biddybud, Piranha Plant, Hint Toad, Uncle Amiibo and Luma.
I'm very...
Some things you should know before I start: As racing games go I mostly stick to the Mario Kart series. I've also played Kirby Air Ride and Air Riders. I've 100% Diddy Kong Racing which is my favorite racing game. But in my review Mario Kart World, I'll be comparing it only to past Mario Kart...
Issue #6 – December 2025
Merry Christmas everyone! In the latest 'Shroom issue Super Koopa makes his return from Issue #2! And what's this!? A bonus comic!? The bonus comic here is inspired by a YouTube video I watched explaining the gravity physics in Super Mario Galaxy. I thought it would be...
All video game related things I got:
- Physical Rosalina Story Book
- The Art of Super Mario Odyssey (Giant book of concept art for the game)
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Kirby Airriders
- Super Mario World Mario riding Yoshi LEGO set (Still debating if I should open it.)
Same for me. I remember opening up the Wii U and thinking, hey where's the 3D effect on the gamepad??? I remember getting up early every morning after Christmas to play SM3DW. I must of beat it in under 3 days. Also, we did have a Wii but it was broken so that meant we got to play all our old...
You can go even further.
"metr" means mother. "pol" means city. So metropolitan means "mother city".
"oid" means to resemble.
So it becomes: 'mother city railway resembling a human castle on the other side of the forest'
(I took out 'robot' because it's redundant.)
Thank you so much 'Shroom staff! Having not been here last year, I hadn't known about the End-of-the-Year Awards. It's been an honor writing for the 'Shroom this year! I'm so glad you all enjoy my work!
I forgot he said this!!! This quote seemed normal to me since I played the game on my 3DS. (I never had a DS.) But it was probably directed to DS players, since the game came out right after the launch of the 3DS.
I was taking this practice drivers test online and the sounds that play when you get an answer right or wrong were literally sound affects taken straight from Super Mario World. So I went to a Super Mario World sound effect website and played the correct answer sound over and over to trick my...
Here are some of my most notable major and minor interests.
Note: When I talk about "my comic strip" and don't clarify, I'm referring to The Adventures of Targy.
Blue Toad was probably carried over from SMB2. SMB2 had Peach as a playable character, and since Peach was kidnapped in NSMBW they decided to replace her with another toad. So for me, Yellow Toad felt like a filler character, whereas Blue Toad did not. And also the reason why there isn't a...
I have one! This is more of a bug tho.
You can get more than one person to play as the same character which normally isn't allowed. When you do this it causes some rendering errors in the kart selection screen. And at the end of a Grand Prix if you get duplicates on the podium then the copy...
I opened the 'Shroom and read my comic and...... there was a spelling error I forgot to fix. So here's a fixed version:
Iv'e finally settled on my preferred medium for drawing these comics. The first two comics were drawn with a pencil so they had to be heavily touched up on my computer. The...
Ah yes. The GBA version treats the dragon coins as actual collectables rather than just small bonuses. Plus I don't think the original game had dragon coins in every level, while one level I remember playing had like 7.
I have a theory. The reason why there are 2 Luigis is because the Luigi you play as is actually Mario in disguise. You never see Mario and Luigi at the same time when you switch characters so....
btw, are you playing galaxy 1 or 2?
I think you might be referring to the recent interview. I'm pretty sure the interview did not reveal anything new about his role at Nintendo. Miyamoto never said he's not doing Mario. He's had a more supervisory role for the past 10 years or so, while training new people to keep Mario alive. He...
I'd say my ultimate favorite is the chicken bacon artichoke pizza from Papa Murphy's.
And if I'm at Mod Pizza or Blaze Pizza, I always make sure to put roasted red peppers on my order.
