Oh yeah, Mario time! Happy belated Mario Day to all who observe. We digest all the fixings Miyamoto and Meledandrani-sama have served us up. We talk a bit about Yoshi Touch 'N Go, which I absolutely did play last week. Do you think we talked about the elusive Boost Star? Would you believe me if I said yes? We do our enemy of the week, whose name is [censored]. Oh, and a brand new feature that coul...

INCOMING: A third mic is here! Our friend Nama [the nerd] is here to talk all things Donkey Kong '94 for the Gameboy. We get into the weeds on this top 5 GB game, but that's not all. Mario Day sales, Princess Peach Showtime demo, and the ever-changing Super Hammer. Celebrating the birthday of Wario's platforming foray on the Nintendo DS, and a special tribute to Mario's prickly caterpillar-like fo...

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm back. I think you already know what I'm thinking!   This episode's got a new Spirit Airlines sweepstakes, the P-Wing, 27 years of European Mario 64, and a little fella called the Hothead. We also discuss the qualities that would make something Super Mario's opposite. Thanks for listening! Mario Tennis soon come, I swear.

Hey fammo. Alex here. I'm currently dealing with a family emergency on the other side of the continent. Thankfully, the inimitable Al (of The Harvest Season fame) stepped up to join Kevin for a nice eppy. Mystery Mushroom, an extended mailbag segment, and Brie "Nintendo Ambassador" Larson are featured on this episode. And before you ask? My favourite multiplayer Mario showings are 3D World and NSM...

Mario vs Donkey Kong SWITCH is out now!  It's in stores!  It's in your Switch! You can buy it at your leisure.  Tell 'em R3 sent ya. In this episode, we touch on the new Princess Peach Showtime trailer. It showcases four new transformations, by the way. Not sure if you heard that. We talk about Mario's beloved hammer, the Donkey Kong of yore, and twelve years of Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London...

Is it episode 28 already?? Time sure flies when you're doing a weekly Super Mario podcast, doesn't it? Kevin sounds a little low-energy on this one. I wonder if THIS WEEK'S release of Mario vs. Donkey Kong (SWITCH) will light a fire in his heart. This week, we've got 25 years of Mario Party, lacerated palms, the Dragon Pot, and the enigmatic Fire Bar! All this talk about Fire Bar has me thinking,...

Hullo friends. Episode 27 and the living is easy. It's a slow news week. 35 years of Wrecking Crew (NES), the Propeller Mushroom, a BRAND NEW feature, and a little twist to our enemy segment. Guess along at home! Don't forget to try that Mario vs. DK demo. Thanks for listening!

Hi there.  We watched King of Kong (2007), talked briefly about DK Barrel Jet Race, Shy Guy, and the Spring Mushroom.  A lot of time spent dissecting the newest Princess Peach SHOWTIME trailer. Tell me how I'm doing:  what would you like to hear about from us?       Here's the King of Kong follow-up that I mentioned watching. Super informative!    

Milestone alert!  25 episodes in the can.  Here's to 25 more. We talk 18 years of Super Mario Strikers, the coveted Super Crown, a threnody to Cackletta...and a much-needed frank discussion on Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the GBA.  

There's a Wing...o waiting in the sky, he swoops to take the Star and then he flies up really high.  Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. Thanks for joining us in episode 24. A Warioware: Smooth Moves anniversary, a commemoration of the double cherry, and a little bit of Wingo talk. We also do another installment of Super Mario Oddities!  Check below to see the weird crap we discuss.    

Howdy folks. This episode features the following: 19 years of NES Classics, the P-Balloon, and Blargg! This one's short and sweet.  We get in, talk some Jumpman, then we get out. No frills. Just what you needed!

The final episode of 2023. It was all leading to this: the coin one.   I forgot to do the History segment this time, so happy 18th to the Japanese release of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Gone and apparently forgotten.   In this episode, we gab about the Golden Flower, our friend Crowber, and an extended feature on New Super Mario Bros 2.    Thanks for listening and happy new year!

26 years of Yoshi's Story? Sounds more like a tome to me!  Bob-Omb finally gets his own episode.  Alex touches a Wonder Flower and you WON'T BELIEVE what happens next. Click here to find out more!

Tons of news? Check. 32nd anniversary of Yoshi (NES)? Check. Bee Mushroom and the Mini-Ninja? Check and check. Podcast? Oh, you'd better believe that's a check! 

In space, nobody can hear you podcast...   Listen up! It's our big Super Mario Galaxy episode!  We talk all about this 2007 3D classic: its new power-ups, its Hyrulean enemies, and a little thing known simply as "The Red Star". What more could you want? A good podcast, you say? Well, I can't help you there. Thanks, bye!

Back again! This week's got lots of news. We talk Wapeach, some Nintendo Store crap, the Goonie, and the Bubble Mushroom. Introducing a new irregular segment called Super Mario Oddities. Mario vs Donkey Kong 4 turns 13!!! Thanks for listening--see you next week!   Below are images of the oddities we discuss in the feature.          

Whew...I'm still catching my breath after this one. It's a slow week for news, but there's at least Cobrats, Power Mushrooms, and 29 KONG-collecting years of Donkey Kong Country to keep us busy. Make like Rambi and CHARGE into this episode...with a vengeance! Uh, thanks for listening.

Oh no, this episode is one day late! Will you forgive me? I would be ever so thankful if you could find room in your heart to forgive me. Okay, thank you. In this episode, we celebrate 22 terrifying years of Luigi's Mansion and run down the upcoming Lego sets. We brought along Angry Sun and Frog Suit for the ride too! We also read the first volume of Super Mario-kun, the yet-to-be-translated-in-En...

The big one five. It's been a hell of a ride, hasn't it? And this train ain't stopping! This week we talk: the much-heralded Wave 6 of MK8D, 20 years of Mario Kart: Double Dash, a veritable landfill of Super Mario RPG pre-order bonuses, the ice flower, and the ever-spicular Pokey. Guest-starring our friend, Nadia! What a difference a third mic makes. Thanks for listening!

We talk about Sonic the Hedgehog, the 4th anniversary of Luigi's Mansion 3, the green shell, and Monty Mole! All that and Dr. Mario too? What a deal! Please excuse my dear episode length.

Spooky episode 13! In this blood-curdling episode, we talk SMB3's 35th anniversary, the Boo Mushroom, a divisive email that threatens to tear the podcast asunder, and a rundown of all things Boo. Now available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! What a world. 

Super Mario Bros Wonder is in our hands. Listen for very early first impressions. We also speak on Mario the Juggler, the fabled Giga Bell, and the tortured spirit known simply as "Phanto". This is our dozenth episode. It can only get better from here...right? Right? 

Another fresh episode? So new it's still hot and steaming. Uh, well, we talk about Broozer, the Penguin Suit, Alex drones on and on about Super Nintendo World. Is Kevin the new voice of Mario?? Tune in and find out the ever-loving truth. 

Uh..I'm thinking we're back. Yoshi's Island, Cape Feather, Chargin' Chuck, and a detailed talk about Luigi's Mansion. Subscribe or perish!

We talk all about the recent SMB Wonder direct. Kevin asks a cursed question and is verily rebuked. M+R Kingdom Battle, Super Pickax, and the beloved Paragoomba. The long march to October 20 grows shorter with each passing day.     Alex is going on vacation, so we'll see you in October. If you play Luigi's Mansion, you'll be ready for our next featured ep. Bye!!
