Tuper Tario Tros. Puts A Little Tetris In Your Mushroom Kingdom
A mash-up of Super Mario Bros. and Tetris should—or at least could—be the best video game of all time, given how strong each title is independently. But is that marriage of gameplay styles enjoyable in practice? More »A Real Mario Is A Terrifying Mario
A man calls the plumbing company to complain about the two plumbers sent to fix his pipes, who instead go on a relatively subdued drug-fueled rampage in this College Humor video. More »Get Back In The Kitchen And Make Me Some Mushroom!
Spotted this Super Mario Bros./Legend of Zelda apron on Etsy today while searching for scarves and hats. I guess there's nothing that absolutely forbids a guy from wearing it while he cooks — as long as he doesn't mind lace.Out Outs the 'Gayest' Video Games
Out.com, the online presence of the gay lifestyle magazine Out, has selected its "Gayest Video Games." This is like pouring jet fuel on a thermite-and-napalm salad, but these are games that trip their gaydar, not ones straight people call "gay." More »The Quilted Quicker Picker-1Upper
1Up Mushroom Quilt, birthday gift to reader John R. from his girlfriend.Let's Tap — to Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. is meant for tap-dancing, and I don't mean on a Goomba's head. Here's Brentalfloss's college buddy, C.K. Edwards - he appears in Billy Elliot on Broadway - whose dancing makes the theme sound all the more vaudeville. More »Anatomically Incorrect Bullet Bill
"Bullet Bill" in real life, but where's the arm? Seen via Go Nintendo.This Super Mario Bros. Mushroom May Be *Too* Realistic
Can't say I'm much of a fan of the mushroom. And were I in need of a height-doubling fungi in order to save a kidnapped princess, I might have a hard time swallowing this disturbingly realistic Super Mario Bros.-style mushroom. More »The Meaning Of Super Mario Clouds
The work of technology artist Cory Arcangel, a bit well-known for his Super Mario Bros. art/hack seven years ago, is part of an exhibit running in London. The artist reflected on what his Mario-with-just-clouds means, at least, to him. More »Mario Theme: One-Hand Me, Good Sir!
Here's a virtuoso piano performance of the Super Mario Bros. theme - using one hand. If I'd remembered anything from my piano lessons beyond playing Old MacDonald on the black keys, I could probably describe how difficult this is. More »The Life and Times of Luigi
If you ever wanted to know why Luigi is thinner than Mario or how he bears living in the shadow of his older brother, this exhaustively researched article over on GamesRadar's got you covered. More »Original World 1-1 Recreated in New Super Mario Bros. Wii
New Super Mario Bros. Wii has barely been out 48 hours, already there's a level editors for it, and already someone's rebuilt World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros. More »"Look Out, He's Got A Piece!" — Half-Life 2 Mods Mario, Castlevania
From all-new video games to fabulous cakes, the Super Mario Bros. and Castlevania games get lots of makeovers from fans and developers alike. Here are two more machinima renditions to add to the list. More »So, Get New Super Mario Bros. Wii Yet?
Gotta say, I rather dig these Sunday launches for Nintendo titles. I'm sure preachers and the NFL don't, but whatever. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is out today, and those who picked it up are probably itching to tell someone. More »Laser Engraver Blasts Out Super Mario Theme
Well, not with its laser, with its motors. Hacklab, a Canadian mod collective, wrote some code to make it happen a while back, but it sounded a little too perfect. The guy who shot this confirms it is real. More »World Store Launches New Super Mario Bros. Wii This Afternoon
Friendly reminder to those in the vicinity of New York City - Nintendo's World Store is throwing a launch party beginning in a couple hours (3 p.m. US Eastern time) for New Super Mario Bros. Wii. More »Oh No! Mario & Luigi Wanted For Assaulting NY Cabbie
With New Super Mario Bros. Wii hitting this weekend, you'd think the bros would be on their best behavior. But cops are on the lookout for Mario and Luigi following an assault on a New York cabbie. More »Party at the Mushroom Kingdom, New York
Don't forget: One of Nintendo's biggest game launches this year will be turning the Nintendo World Store into Mushroom Kingdom this weekend. More »Build A Mario Church For This Window
Stained glass is something Jewish kids can enjoy while guesting in their Catholic friends' cathedrals (like what happened to me on Sundays after sleepovers). If only all stained glass windows were this geeky. More »Dennis Hopper Has Cancer
The actor who voiced Steve Scott in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and played King Koopa in that ill-conceived Super Mario Bros. movie has prostate cancer, the Associated Press reports. More »Amazing Mario Tanooki Suit Rug
It's times like these, I wish I could crochet instead of half-assedly knit. More »
