After all these years following gaming through its many many forms (mainly Nintendo’s in the console area) there’s a time when you ask yourself: “Is videogaming worth all the things I do for the sake of it?” I could do other things, get other hobbies like:
-Building miniature ships inside of bottles.
-Have a pet.
-Go to night clubs and hit on random women. . .although studies say that a lot of these will be men.
You get the idea. So wonderful hobbies this world has for us. . .and most of us have decided to go into gaming. Well, I couldn’t be more satisfied.
Shigeru Miyamoto started it and incited a bunch of others who also created fascinating worlds and characters who give us that small spice of adventure, drama, and whatnot to our daily lives, giving us hope that we can do anything if we have the correct set of mind. But Mr. Miyamoto was first, and without his idea, I don’t really know what kind of human or animal would have been Mario (And yes, it is WRITTEN that the character who would rise videogames from the flames shall be called Mario!).
I only think that, with the release of Mario Galaxy this 2007, giving some hope for the Mario-solo franchise, this character is worthy of the yearly Retro Video compilation extravaganza!
First, we’ll start with the first game with Mario in it, Donkey Kong (Video by lfrage):
Then, let’s do some NES Super Mario Bros. . .Live Action Style! (Video uploaded by Inzenmiddle):
Keep it up! Now it’s time for Super Mario World! But we all have seen speedruns, let’s watch some SMW cartoons! On this one we see some ideas which I think wouldn’t be made into successful games: A Bowser-managed fast food restaurant (Video by betogm). . .and Mario eating there! Oh, should this be the way the games worked, Mario would’ve been dead by a heart attack years ago.
Wow, making this and remembering how I lived them in the flesh is a very bittersweet sensation. Up to the 3D era! a Mario64 Speedrun in such an unusual style! (Video by Mijitsu)
Gamecube? Hmm. . . Lemme think. . .Oh, yeah, Super Mario Sunshine! Silly me, I even had this game. Sadly, we all know the fiasco it was, and besides that, we had a Bowser with silly voice acting. Bad, bad, bad. Well, for the sake of following the Mario saga, here’s the ending of the game (video by funny1allways):
Final stretch, now! Some Mario Galaxy ad for you, because there are some of you who still haven’t played this awesome game. Do so now! (Video by Duigi1):
And now, for some bonus, how about some Tesla Coil Mario awesomeness? (Video by Megavoltmeister) (you can read more about these great inventions here.)
Wow, you endured it. That proves you’re a great Nintendo Fan. . .Or you’re making some time waiting for stores to be open after New Year’s eve. . .Either way, I’m glad you followed, I wish you luck and an excellent 2008.
Cheers, Velcor.
