Everyone's heard about high score runs, but how about the opposite? In this video, NicoNico Douga user Haru@Yotsuba sets out to get the lowest possible score in Super Mario World on the SNES. Mario World becomes a very different game in this challenge, where killing Koopa Troopa or breaking a brick is the same as failure. But not content with this already insane challenge, he added a few more rules: More »

This fall marks the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. What better what to say "congrats" than with a fan-made Super Mario game that puts Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and Super Mario World in a blender. Drink it up! More »

We'll concede that for goomba stomping purposes, some cleated golf shoes would probably get you out of a bind in the Mushroom Kingdom now and then. But in the real world, these Super Mario World shoes, spied at Super Potato in Akihabara, seem to have limited use. They're certainly fancy and the white still gleams — almost everything in Super Potato has been well cared for — but if we were handed a pair of multi-colored Mario golf shoes, we'd probably politely decline (or sell them immediately on eBay).

By now, you must have seen the custom made Super Mario World levels that require no player, no controller to pass. They simply let Mario and Yoshi do their thing, as buttons, switches and blocks boost them through each level. None of those user created levels are as impressive as this 11-minute monster, which uses the sound effects from those switch-hits and Koopa Troopa stomps to make beautiful music. My untrained ears can pick out but a few recognizable tunes—Mega Man 2 and Super Mario World, I don't know from Haruhi and Lucky Star—but song list help in the comments is more than welcome. Thanks to Spann for pointing us in its direction. More »

The Nintendo-licensed apparel by clothing brand Torrel that we told you about last month has formally launched, with an online store selling the Nintendo By Torrel line now live. The first line, which focuses on graphics lifted from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World, ranges from t-shirts at $50 to hoodies to jackets which top out at $200. Those who prefer to swim in their clothing will be quite comfortable, as the product runs up to XXXXL. Spindly wimps like myself who rock smalls in everything will be left cold, naked and wanting.

The big news on the Virtual Console front today was obviously the release of the SNES classic, The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.

Generally speaking, we don't like to post eBay auctions. They are up for a day, then gone, like chaff in the wind. Still, Scott tipped us on this absolutely beautiful canvas limited edition rendition of a screen from Super Mario World. At 24" x 32.5" it's not exactly wall sized, but I think I will have to make room above my headboard and strip down some of the soggier pin-ups of Lara Croft to display to my nocturnal visitors my more sensitive gamer side.

This is, however, a hot, man-on-pipe organ solo performance video of one game music lovin' altar boy doing the ten-finger shuffle to some of gaming's greatest hits. From Koji Kondo's Super Mario World castle theme, to The Legend of Zelda's dungeon tunes, even wandering into dreaded anime territory, he runs the gamut of nerd tunes. There's really nothing to see here, so just listen. More »

Holy Mario! A Ninty fangirl painted the front room of her house to look like Super Mario World, complete with piping and 3D boxes. In doing so, she's won the hearts of every Nintendo fanboy. Me, I don't think the murals will jive with anything but mushroom-themed furniture, but that's not really the point. Pics of Mario, Yoshi and painted walls after the jump. Brian Ashcraft More »

Aaron Stilton, intrepid Lothario and part-time ROM hacker, hacked apart Super Mario World to be a 16 bit mash note to his girlfriend.

At 7:00pm, a limo did indeed pick her up, whisking her and Aaron away on a romantic date to see... More »
