I surely can't be the only one had my childhood brightened up by this mans genius?

Of course you weren't.

One of the best games ever. Even the Mario games on the new systems are really fun. I never get sick of playing the original, though.

Mario 3 ftw. I had to throw away my NES a year or so ago, the top loader finally kicked the bucket. I might play it on the wii tonight though.

We should have an "all things Mario" tournament.

Like one good guy, one enemy, one mario game, one level, one boss, one weapon, etc.

chud would pick AIDS on MarioKart.

We'd have to figure out how specific you have to get with your picks? Like can I pick an entire game? A level within a game? Or do I have to get super specific and draft the frog suit?

oh shi-

1. Mario game (Mario bros., super mario, paper mario, mario kart, luigi's mansion, etc)
2. "Good" guy (Mario, Peach, Toad, etc.)
3. Bad guy (Koopa, Dry Bones, Wario, etc.)
4. Boss (Bowser, all those other ones, etc.)
5 Weapon (Fireball, Raccoon suit, Blue Shell, Steroids, etc.)
6. Level (thousands to choose from!)
7. Wildcard (?)

I wouldn't make games a category.

When you're using the raccoon suit do you say "I'm mario with the raccoon suit" or do you say "I used the fucking leaf!"? Because I go with the latter.

Why not? There are so many of them!

You're right, I wasn't thinking straight.

There's not a lot of difference between bosses though. So maybe that one should go. Just make Bowser one of the bad guys.

It's not like a tournament is going to happen anyway.

Super mario world in the snes. Was that 3? The one with yoshi and the raccoon hat?

That was my favourite

No, that's simply Super Mario World.
