Loved this game years ago, the Mario RPGs are some of the only ones I’ve finished.


I think the Gameboy Color version of Super Mario Bros set up Bowser as a powerful wizard that transformed the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom into blocks and Goombas. Princess Toadstool’s beautiful voice was able to break the curse, which is why Bowser kidnaps her the first time. Every other time has been to get Mario off his butt for a rematch.
I think it was the manual for the NES version, actually.

That makes more sense, as the Gameboy games (Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2) had no Bowser in them. There was no direct port of Super Mario Bros. for the GBC either.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

And introduced the Super Mario Bros VS mode that I’ve seen Nintendo try to bring back lately.

And a personal calendar application, which is so bizarre in retrospect. :psyduck:

E: waiting for the update

I like the directions people end up taking Luigi when they need to give him some gimmick for these team-up games.

I'm disappointed it's not the Koopa Kruiser.

Oh please, the Bowser Baddies aren't loving Kremlings. They've got some standards. :colbert:
