PETA's Super Mario Bros. Poultry Platformer

Full of copyright infringing cutscenes, passable platforming and propaganda about KFC's chicken raising standards, PETA's Super Chick Sisters is the kind of Flash-based edutainment that only the animal rights group could provide. Tasked with rescuing a kidnapped Pamela Anderson, decked out in royally tasteful clothing, lead chickens Nugget and Chickette embark on a lesson filled adventure. More »

Clip: The Great Otaku Japanese TV Challenge

That pink-helmeted warrior is today's nerd hero. His name is Naoto Fujimura, and he recently appeared on TV Tokyo's TV Champion 2. Vitals: Fujimura is 19 years old and actually owns an Xbox 360. No, really. His favorite game? THE iDOLM@STER. Pretty much the entire show is after the jump, complete with Aya Ueto and Yu Yamada ads. It's almost an hour and all in Japanese, but you should be able to follow. Grab a chilled beverage, settle in and cheer Fujimura on as he battles his way to the top! Brian Ashcraft

The Rad Super Mario Rubix Cube

What better way to bring back the 1980's with Mario and Rubix cubes. This six-colored New Super Mario Bros. puzzler breathes new life into old favorites. The cube has been out since last November and retails for ¥2,079 (US $17). Two words: Must have. Brian Ashcraft More »

A New New Super Mario Bros. Button

The best part about living in Japan? The supermarket sells Nintendo goods. And not just any Nintendo goods, but Nintendo goods made in China. Take this, for example. Inside there's a New Super Mario Bros. character button, which would be perfect for signaling random Tetris Gloryholing. That, and bad tasting candy! Local convenience stores are a good place to pick up stuff like this as well, cheap. Brian Ashcraft More »

Big Mario Doll Out of the Box and Behind Glass

If I didn't have so much crap covering my work station already, I'd totally get this US $32 New Super Mario Bros. desktop warrior. It's made by Bandai and looks great—even next to an Xbox 360 and slim PS2. How humiliating! More »

Head to Hungry Jack's, Get Mario Key Chain

Just like "Victoria Bitter" means "water," "Hungry Jack's" is Australian for "Burger King." Nintendo of Australia has teamed up with the Ozzie eatery to help celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros. and is giving away character keychains with Kids Club Meals. Customers get a choice of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach or Donkey Kong and also are entered into a draw to win a DS Lite and a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Doesn't Peach look totally pissed off? I kinda felt that way when I realized Hungry Jack's even tastes like Burger King. Brian Ashcraft More »

Encyclopedia Brown Hates New Super Mario Bros.

And while I'm railing against beloved Nintendo DS games, I really don't like New Super Mario Bros. very much either, a game recommended to me not only by Kotaku-staffers of questionable taste like Ashcraft and Crecente, but proclaimed a "solid 7" by none other than 1UP's Luke "I Hate Everything" Smith. Diametrically inflated according to the withered circumference of Smith's own black, ichorous heart, that's like a solid 11 by any other measure. More »

Ramshackle Japanese New Super Mario Bros. Advertising

The poster reads something like, "I can only explain this desire with a mushroom." (Kinoko... deshika Tsutawaranai omoi...). Mario's face says pure badass. DIY in-store advertising at its finest. Brian Ashcraft More »

Now On Sale in Akihabara: American DS Lites!


We must be wearing hamburgers on our feet and eating shoes, because Akihabara's AsoBitCity is selling American Polar White DS Lites. Priced at 19,800 yen, the Polar White is more expensive than the "Crystal White" Lite that goes for 16,800 yen. The signs say it's possible to change the language to Japanese and play domestic games. But, are the colors actually different? I was under the impression that they were the same. I was also under the impression it was no longer necessary to re-import DSes from America.

Japan *Hearts* Mario

Sure, New Super Mario Bros. is popular in Japan. But, just how popular? The game moved 480,000 units in its first day, compared to 414,556 units the second edition of Brain Training sold over its first four days. NSMB outsold brain games in Japan. Yes, it is really that popular. Brian Ashcraft More »

Get 99 Lives in New Super Mario Bros.

It looks like Nintendo left the classic 1Up trick in the New Super Mario Bros. game. To get unlimited lives just go to world 2-4 and near the end you will see a turtle walking down the steps. Jump down on him, but don't kick the shell. Next, get on the step below the turtle shell, push up against the step and then jump straight up without touching the D-pad. You;ll start to bounce on the shell and the 1Ups will start to just roll in. —Brian Crecente More »

Hands On New Super Mario Bros. Screens and Vids

Craig over at IGN has gotten his hands on New Super Mario Brothers a tad early and done all of us impatient web scurriers a favor by posting a load of new screenshots and videos of the DS title up on his blog. Something to drool over as the rest of us working class suckers wait another couple weeks to get our grubby mitts on the damn game. More »
