3-Up Moon Podcast

In a world first for the game, Super Mario Land is discussed for a period of time longer than it would take you to play it! Andrew (Gilly) and Josh (Boney) follow up from the last episode at long last to exchange notes on the frankly often underdiscussed Gameboy launch title Super Mario Land. There is much to say about the game, and we say all of it! Nintendo Power 1989 - Nov/Dec The Manual (US) T...

After months of having *many* Chrome tabs open, Josh (Boney) has completed research on the background of Super Mario Land's producer and director, Gunpei Yokoi and Satoru Okada respectively, and so alongside Andrew (Gilly), the two finally sit down to go over an extended look at two important figures from Nintendo's R&D1 Team. Next episode we will review and discuss the game itself - S...

We are back at last with our much anticipated part 2 to our Super Mario Bros 3 deep-dive. Fill up your P-meter as Gilly and Boney explore one of the most beloved games of all time, with the first guest of the podcast and dearest of mates, Dylan from Sheffield, a Super Mario Bros 3 fanatic. This episode also contains a cheeky E3 2021 reaction for good measure, occuring directly after the podcast wa...

Oi oi, it's been a while. This episode was actually recorded back on the 19th of May 2021, but was stuck in editing for...well, a while. One or both of your hosts will offer a more thorough explanation for the hiatus in the next new episode if we get round to recording it soon (that'll be episode 7 for those playing along at home). For now though, please enjoy this romp through flickers of Nintend...

Rev up the ol' emergency episode klaxon, and adorn yourself in your funeral overalls, Josh and Andrew are discussing Super Mario Bros. 35, with this episode releasing on the day in which Nintendo pry the title away from our fire flower-y, but dead hands. The pair are crankier than a thrown King Bob-omb as they discuss the events surrounding Mario's 35th anniversary, and his sudden demise, but by t...

Andrew and Josh drift off into dreamland in this latest endeavour, covering Mario and Imajin's parallel adventures to defeat a particularly gassy frog. Our hosts astral project to Japan circa 1987 to experience some of the sights of the hottest event in town, discuss the difficulties in dealing with Cobrats and Albatosses (Albatossi? Albatoss?), and revel in the pleasant sounds of Andrew's new mic...

Super Mario Bros. has Josh and Andrew scoring 5000 points with a top of the flagpole runtime. There's just so much to say about this game, with all of it most likely having already been said, but that won't stop these two Koopa Kings from trying. DJ Gilly Grime and Boney Beats peruse the game's charming manual cover to cover, recount their many feelings whilst playing, reflect on Hudson's very Spe...

The boys are back, one of them with substantially poorer audio quality than before as Audacity's input device selection or...some other malevolent force, strives to sabotage the second (or first?) episode of Let's-a Go: with Gilly and Boney! (seriously though, Josh is very sorry about this and it likely won't happen again) Mario Bros. is their prime target this time, with Josh and Andrew diving de...

Andrew and Josh check out the very first Mario game there is, Donkey Kong! Before the mustachioed man was even known as Mario he was Jumpman, scaling a perilous construction site to rescue Lady (Pauline) from the clutches of Nintendo's #1 ape. The boys discuss how high they can get, their thoughts on the plumber's (then carpenter) first outing, and Josh takes us through too many ports of the arcad...
