Rainbow Road Radio

Content begins at 22:07   Welcome back to the show that refuses to get good. It's me, Alex. We're talking news. I watched the Nintendo Live and spoke my truth. You're not allowed to get mad at me, because this podcast is completely free. This week we've got steelbooks, the Dash Pepper, and 41 years of adjectiveless Mario Bros. Would you believe me if I said there's an enemy of the week lodged in h...

Content begins at 15:33   Happy Labour Day!  No days off for your favourite Mario podcasters, I'm afraid. Gather 'round, dear listeners. For we are here to regale you with tales of playable Pauline, the fragrant Cloud Flower, another volume of Reel or Fake, and a nice mailbag question about that Green Mario I keep hearing about. Until next time: good bye! 

Content begins at 10:45   You talked; we listened. We hear you: Kevin is back. Okay? Stop emailing us and asking when Kevin will be back. He's back already. Can't a guy take a week off? Lay off him! Now that that's out of the way, Alex [and to some extent, Kevin] played Yoshi's Island and talked all about it. We also get into the new Lego Mario Kart sets that were announced, the ever-globular Morp...

Special guest alert! The air raid siren is going off, for we've a new guest host. Join Beck and Alex as they go in on Super Mario Land for the Game Boy.

Did I use save states?  Listen to find out the shocking truth.

Greetings friends,   Content begins at 07:50   This week we played Mario Golf for the GBC. We spoke about Wario's Viking Helmet, a sphinxlike enemy, and we celebrated 25 years of a certain game...I gotta go now. Bye!

Content begins at 23:10   Wow, we're back in the studio for episode 53. We talk about that one Lego set, the Bullet Bill Mask, and a certain sleeping fish. Yoshi's Island is 29 years old! Happy statutory holiday in Canada! I'm going to sleep now. Join us next week for Mario Golf (GBC).

Greetings, from the past. This is a secret pre-recorded episode, because I'm out of town. Hopefully there's no breaking news...if there is, let's just sit tight for a week. It couldn't hurt, right? We watched the first episodes of Super Mario Brothers Super Show, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3, and Donkey Kong Country. No power! No enemy! Pure television appreciation. 

Content begins at 12:34   Hey folks. Thanks for making it. We're still hungover from the Episode 50 afterparty, but we managed to crawl out here to record another one. We talk about Jack Black, the Rock Mushroom, and a baby enemy of the week. Is it Baby Wario? Listen to find out!    

50 episodes in the book!  We did it! Content begins at 8:41   To celebrate, Nama has returned for the vaunted third mic position. We discuss President Furukawa potentially seeing Mario hentai, 19 years of DDR: Mario Mix, and each host's steelbook collection (discless and otherwise). The Invincibility Leaf is on the pedestal this week. Only the worst gamers of all-time will be familiar with such a...

Content begins at 12:30 Excuse any audio problems...hey, I'm learning over here! Welcome...to the eve of 50.

See ya then!

Greetings friends.   Content begins at 07:39   This week we discuss the three new games announced in last Tuesday's Nintendo Direct. Did we manifest the Brothership? In all likelihood, yes. We cover the Cannon Box, Mario Golf Advance Tour, and Bullet Bill's nautical pal. Okay man. See ya.

Springtime for Jumpman:  (Smash announcer voice): COMPLETE!   We covered Melee's anniversary, Yoshi's angelic wings, one of the Koopalings, and our extended feature on the classic Super Mario World. We liked it, by the way. Didn't expect that, did you? 

Did you know it's a holiday in Canada? Happy Victoria Day!  I'm doing this on my day off...you've never seen devotion quite like this. We've got a low-key episode here:  Danny Devito, Tanooki Suits, 22 years of Luigi's Billabong, and a particularly regal enemy of the week. Thanks for listening! Join us next week for Super Mario World!    

Hey folks. Do you know why I've asked you to be here today? That's right--the new episode of R3. Okay, well, here it is. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD trailer, the lackluster Vanish Cap, a certain overcaffeinated enemy, and a brand new segment!?! Holy shit. 

We played Super Mario Bros 3! Is it good? Is it bad? You have NO way of knowing until you listen to this episode. It's an anniversary for The Lost Levels, our Power this week is the Super Leaf, new Lego sets have been revealed. Duel Monsters are mentioned at least twice, inexplicably. Springtime for Jumpman cannot be stopped--so don't try it!

Hey guys. It's still Monday--the episode is not late. Welcome to episode 39! Princess Peach apparel and cosmetics, the Light Box, a quarter of a century of Smabro. Oh baby! Join us for SMB3 next week!     Here's the link for the prime MK8 build.

Super Mario Bros 2.  The "red-shelled stepchild" of the Mario franchise...or is it? We seek to answer this question. We do a weekly podcast, and good is the enemy of released, so let's just keep it moving please. 

Howdy. You ain't from 'round here, are ya?  'Round these parts, we talk about the latest Mario news, the Master Sword, and the enigmatic enemy of the week. We don't take kindly to those who aren't interested in the following things I've mentioned. Alright, I've lost focus for the voice of this character. Thanks for listening, see you next week with SMB2!

Springtime for Jumpman continues into the throes of April, and what a spring it is. A Super Spring, even. We play The Lost Levels and live to talk about it. A bit about WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$, the Wing Cap, and an enemy with really bad imposter syndrome. Episode 36...that's a whole thing!

It's here! It's here! The newest episode of Rainbow Road Radio has arrived! Mothers, lock up your daughters: they all want to hear the new episode of the Mario podcast. Why, you ask? Well, the fellas are talking Mario Party Advance, the ubiquitous Starman, and one of Mario's greatest enemies. Oh. And we played Super Mario Bros for the NES. The first episode in a series of "Mario Classics" - join u...

Greetings, friends. Your patience has been rewarded: we are talking about Mario Tennis 64. Is that all? No, of course not. The Ice Skate, a weird Mario enemy, and some Wario Land 3 chatter will all be peppered throughout the episode. We get some piping hot first impressions of Princess Peach Showtime. Does it measure up? Does it fall flat? Is it just nice to see a game that we can play with our hy...
