The Mario series, for the most part is not intended as an educational supplement, but sometimes you happen to learn some trivia anyways. For example, from the Mario Kart series, I learned that cc, standing for cubic centimeters, is the measurement of the volume of the piston cylinders in a car...

Feel free to discuss this below. I've always wondered what was more common.

Huh, I thought I heard someone out front, but nobody's there.

I occasionally like to watch Youtube, and I thought it might be a fun topic to discuss channels that are fun or interesting to watch. Since there are a good amount of younger users on this site I would recommend giving a warning before recommending channels that frequently use strong language...

This is a sequel of sorts to count in binary. Now we will count in hexadecimal. How to count in decimal: Counting in hexadecimal is easy, 1-9 is the same, but you move on to the letters A-F before moving to 10, 1A-1F between 19 and 20, 2A-2F between 20 and 30, and so on. Example: Here are the...

I was reminded by the holiday of the time that my siblings and I recieved a Wii-u for Christmas when that was Nintendo's console. I know that the Wii-u was less successful than usual for Nintendo, but I'd imagine that on a Nintendo game specific forum, more of us had a Wii-u than the population...

I've noticed that there are a lot of Nintendo franchises where Nintendo consoles exist within the universe. So as a fun bit of trivia I'll list every one that I can think of off the top of my head here. Let me know if there are any more that you can think of. Mario: A Toad in the thousand year...

I think that the Super Mario Wiki that the Boards kind of spins off from is a pretty good example of what a wiki should be, with the quality of articles usually being comprehensive and accurate, and also just fun to read, having a clean design that isn't smothered in ads is a nice bonus. I...

The Mario franchise has featured a lot of ghosts over the years, mostly as enemies. I thought it would be fun to discuss your favorite ghosts for Halloween. My favorite ghost is Polterpup from Luigi's Mansion 2, since he has a nice character development from being a mischievous prankster to...

It's as simple as the title implies. A superpower is an unnatural ability that the user has the ability to control. Examples of superpowers: The power to move grilled cheese sandwiches with your mind. The power to turn the sun off like a light bulb. Examples of things that aren't superpowers...

I thought it might be cool to try this challenge, I'd like to draw more often, so this might be a fun way to practice. Anyone can submit one character from a piece of media you like. I'll show the results once six characters are chosen and I've finished with all the drawings.

It's become a popular trend to discuss cutting the smash bros ultimate roster in half, so I thought of a way to turn it into a forum game. Rule 1: When you post, you must choose one character to Save which protects them from being cut by other people. You must also choose one character to Cut...

Some video games allow you to name the main playable character to help create a connection between them and the player. It's a small and not super important feature, but I still like when it's included. There are a few philosophies people have when it comes to naming characters, and I'm curious...

If you don't know how to count in binary, think of it as creating the next largest number that you're able to come up with using only 0s and 1s. 0.

This might be an interesting topic for discussion. So let's here each other out. The questions below are additional discussion topics if you'd like to answer in more detail. Do you read the newspaper, watch the news on television, or find it online? What specific news organizations do you...

You are the King/Queen/Monarch of Boardsania for one day, then someone else has to have a turn before you can rule again. Every day you may pass one law or take one royal action. You can't make yourself rule for longer than a day, change the amount of laws that can be passed in a day, or...

It seems that most 3D-Mario games have come with their own mobility option for Mario to use. 64 set the baseline of Mario's modern moveset, Sunshine added FLUDD and it's various nozzles, Galaxy added a course correcting spin-jump, and Odyssey added the Cap-throwing mechanic. Therefore the...

By far the only time I can recall Mario actually doing any plumbing in a Mario game is in 3D World, where he fixes the clear pipe in the opening cutscene. In the Mario Bros arcade game he's in the sewers, but it's for more of a pest-control job than anything plumbing related. I'm wondering if...

Ghost houses and haunted levels are a recurring theme in the mario series. What are your favorite examples of a halloween level/location in the Mario series. Luigi's mansion is of course the obvious pick. I also like deep-dark galaxy, which isn't really halloween themed, but it does have a...

Here are some sprites for Mario and Luigi. Unfortunately due to the image transparency and white background their gloves don't show up. If you download the image you should be able to view it with a crisper quality and with the intended background.

Here's a game that's extremely simple but can lead to funny results. The first user asks a question, and the next user comes up with a reasonable sounding answer. You have to come up with an answer on the spot, no looking anything up. Also try not to ask to many questions that could be answered...
