GamingWorld X - Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Review One character drives while the other dishes out the damage, but they can switch near instantly with a tap of the Z button. Mario Kart staples such as the koopa shells and mushrooms return, as do the lightning bolts and invincibility stars. The speech from Mario and Friends, for the most part, is amusing and enjoyable, but more quotes for each character would have been nice. www.gamingworldx.com /gcn/MarioKartDoubleDash.shtml   (1169 words)

Super Mario 64 DS Review for Nintendo DS - Gaming Age Everything you loved about Mario 64 is still here except there are now more areas to explore, new stars to collect, different characters to control, and brand new mini-games to unlock.

Toad - Super Mario Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mario initinally becomes frightened of Toad when he comes to visit, but the fear is gone once Toad gives him a Red Essence. Even if he is not a playable character, there is still a chance that he will appear as an attack of Princess Peach's (if she appears in the game). Issues of Nintendo Comics System portrayed Toad as more outgoing than previous incarnations; with Wooster acting as the servant of Princess Toadstool and King Toadstool, Toad would often adventure with Mario, with issues such as "Betrayal Most Proper" showing that Toad was able to hold his own in a fist-fight with various enemies. www.mariowiki.com /index.php?title=Toad_(character)&printable=yes   (3565 words)

Mario vs. Donkey Kong - GameCritics.com Which is why Nintendo, realizing that such an ill-fated prophecy would be better suited to the character than the company, have constantly reset the battle lines for every outing in the beleaguered plumber's 23-year career. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a puzzle-platform game based directly upon the original GameBoy's classic Donkey Kong '94, which was itself an ingenious take on the original Donkey Kong arcade game from way back in 1981. From the rounded, shiny character models to the saccharine color-coating of every generic environment, this is a typical 21st century Mario product. www.gamecritics.com /review/mariovsdonkey/main.php   (949 words)

BBC - Lancashire Lifestyle - Games Room - Mario Party 6 Mario and all his friends get together again for their sixth outing in the party franchise.

Monsters At Play: Super Mario Sunshine Review Mario games have never been known for their presentation, but these elements are uncharacteristicly sloppy for such a big-name Nintendo title. Mario will be out of your sight for an inordinate amount of time, as the camera will not move around corners to follow him. Super Mario Sunshine also runs at a relatively low 30 frames per second, which is fine for the purposes of the game, but is a little disappointing for a title that isn't all that visually complex. games.monstersatplay.com /review/gamecube/super_mario_sunshine_m.php   (2147 words)

Super Mario 64 DS Review / Preview for the Nintendo DS (NDS) These are the folks who will play Super Mario DS with a smile on their face and post on the message boards that you "suck" if you complain about it. Nintendo recently announced Super Mario 64X4 for their new Nintendo DS system which will allow 4 players to hunt for stars in locales from the classic N64 game. You'll need 4 Nintendo DS systems and yup, 4 copies of the game to take advantage of the wireless Bluetooth technology that will allow you to play multiplayer, but chances are if this game is a launch title, you and your posse will already own it. www.cheatcc.com /ds/rev/supermario64x4.html   (1588 words)

Mario Kart Double Dash: Character Origins - D e t s t a r . c o m The characters of the Mario universe have exploded into a huge gang of friends and foes since the famous plumber first appeared more than 20 years ago. Luigi is Mario's brother, and first appeared as nothing more than the character controlled by a second player in a Two Player game. The Mario & Yoshi team became comparable to that of a cowboy and his trusty steed - Except the horses of the wild west never did have horses that could fly in the sky like Yoshi. www.detstar.com /files/features/mariokartdoubledash/characterorigins   (1777 words)

NFG Games + Nintendo Official Magazine Present - A Mario Sprite History In the arcades Mario was showing the whites of his eyes by 1983, a mere two years after his first appearance. Paper Mario is the first game that deserves mention, as it's really the next step in Nintendo's Mario design, replacing the pixelized sprites with what is, for all intents and purposes, an animation cel wrapped around a polygon. These games weren't produced by Nintendo, and the Mario sprites used were identical to other games, so they're not useful for this discussion. nfg.2y.net /games/mariosprites   (1311 words)

Mario Mario first appeared in the popular 1970's arcade game "Donkey Kong," in which his objective was to save a princess from the giant hands of a monkey, Donkey Kong, while avoiding the barrels he tossed and other obstacles. Mario has enjoyed such popularity over the last two decades, that he made several other appearances in the media outside of the realm of video games. What does change is that the Mario brothers almost always have new super powers to accomplish this goal, ranging from fireballs to frog suits. www.stanford.edu /~jsalinas/gamesite/characters/mario.htm   (493 words)

Mario - Kotaku   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Familiar Nintendo faces become greedy, real-estate moguls along side some of the character of Square-Enix's Dragon Quest in Itadaki Street, a monopoly-like game from the DS coming out for the Japanese market in June. I've always considered Mario's Italian accent to be on a par with the likes of Chico Marx; Not authentic by any means, but close enough for Americans. Nintendo is tossing out some Super Paper Mario loving, to the tune of thirty-two screenshots for your enjoyment. www.kotaku.com /gaming/mario   (1490 words)

eBay - Product Info - eBay — Super Mario Bros. 3 (: 045496630584), Game and Nintendo NES items on eBay.com.   (Site not responding. Last check: ) After the vastly different gameplay of Super Mario Bros. 2 (which was based on the Japanese Doki Doki Panic), the third game in the series gets rid of Mario's turnip-pulling abilities and replaces them with new feats like flying via the raccoon suit, and hammer throwing with the Hammer Bros. suit. Mario or Luigi will say things in their italian accent when getting power ups or 1-up mushrooms. Mario has been the corner stone basically since the beginning of nintendo and Super Mario 3 really propelled nintendo into the future. product.ebay.com /Super-Mario-Bros-3_UPC_045496630584_W0QQfvcsZ1453QQsoprZ5803   (817 words)

Mario Superstar Baseball Review / Preview for the GameCube (GC) Mario Superstar Baseball tries to up the ante in terms of excitement, injecting all sorts of Mario Universe themes and characters into the game along with the trademark powerups and other goofiness but it just doesn't seem to elevate itself above being anything more than a colorful gimmick. The characters all have their own stats which you should weigh heavily before deciding who to play on your team (or simply hit Random if you couldn't possibly care less). Nintendo has always been fanatical about baseball so we're surprised we haven't seen this series back on the SNES or the N64. www.cheatcc.com /gc/rev/mariobaseball.html   (911 words)

Hotel Mario for CD-i - MobyGames But when the Mario Brothers arrive, they learn that King Bowser Koopa is making over the kingdom into his personal resort and the princess has been kidnapped, again. Mario and Luigi must stop him and rescue the princess by closing doors in the hotels.

mario - GameSpot Mario breaks away from the tennis court, the baseball field, and the party scene to get back to doing what he does best: running to the right and jumping on stuff. Mario and Luigi are back to their two-dimensional roots, and we've tried out the latest version of their new adventure. Nintendo's main man was fond of Revolution name, has fun with copycats, worries about demand of Wii. www.gamespot.com /pages/tags/index.php?type=news&tags=mario   (1177 words)

TMK | Mario in Japan Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed in an interview that they were considering naming Mario's nemesis either Kuppa, Yukke (Yukka), or Bibinbap (Bi Bim Bap), all Korean dishes. Mario characters with swirly glasses include E. Gadd (Luigi's Mansion), and Professor Frankly (PM:TTYD). Nintendo probably thought these games would not sell well in America, and to release them would be a waste of time and money. www.themushroomkingdom.net /mariosan.shtml   (647 words)
