The 'Shroom:Issue 135/Fun Stuff





Staff Notes
Written by:

Octo Expansion is a good DLC for Splatoon 2 and everyone should buy it because it's good and fun and challenging also the Octoling girl looks cute and the Octoling boy looks extremely gay but that's okay because it's Pride Month and he should be proud you go you gay Octoboy just like our gay idol Luigi and that's how we can relate this rambling to our Summer Special theme !!!!!!!!!!

So, yeah, it's time to celebrate Luigi! He barely got into Smash Ultimate it seems, so congrats to him! A bit of sad news for those of us at Fun Stuff, though, as Shoey is retiring from Trivia, but some happier news as gives us a special Mystery Images section for this issue!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy our Luigi-themed sections all across the paper!

Section of the Month Congratulations to all of our writers for their works!

Anagrams
Written by:

Because of course they had to do a Luigi special issue just four months after I already did a Luigi anagram section, absolutely HILARIOUS. I'm almost sure they just did that just to annoy me... Well, all that aside, welcome to this month's issue of Anagrams! Now, seeing as I did a Luigi themed anagram section four months ago (You can check it out here if you love nothing more than Luigi-themed anagrams), I've decided to do a bunch of Luigi's Mansion themed ones for you instead and you watch, October's issue is just gonna be Luigi's Mansion themed because that's also hilarious. Anyway, have fun with these ones, and as per usual, if you have any suggestions that aren't the theme for the issue coming up in four issues time or funny anagrams that also aren't related to said theme either let me know on my talk page or PM me on the forums.

How it works...

Basically, this puzzle consists of solving the anagrams. Each month has a specific theme, which will give you a clue about what sort of words or phrases the anagrams will be. I've also included the boxes that the anagrams will fit into, so you'll be able to tell how many words it will solve to be and how many letters will be in each word, which should give you a hand too. You'll also notice that within each set of boxes, one of the squares are yellow. As you solve each anagram, note down the letter which appears in the yellow squares, and if you can solve all of the anagrams, you'll also get a bonus anagram to solve from completing all of the others. I've included the letter configuration for this one at the bottom too, just to give you an extra helping hand. Best of luck!

Where in the Marioverse is Carmen Sandiego?
Written by:

"New developments, gumshoe! It seems that Carmen has sent out one of her henchmen to nab a signature item off of Luigi- his Poultergust 3000! First featured in Luigi's Mansion, this vacuum cleaner has the power to suck up the supernatural and trap ghosts in its dust chamber. It was invented by Professor E. Gadd, and it's invaluable to Luigi while he's out hunting ghosts. He'll never be able to hunt them down until you track down that vacuum! We've narrowed our list of suspects down to Carmen's ghoulish henchman, Boo the Bold, so grab your Dual Scream and get to it! "

Quiz
Written by:

Howdy 'Shroom readers, welcome to the Quiz!. As you may have figured out from the name, this is a section where I quiz your Mario knowledge.

E3 has been and gone, but this has left me with a massive dilemma. What do I base this edition of Quiz off of? Should I go with a Smash Bros. or Mario Party one as new entries in their respective series were announced? Or should I go with a tennis themed quiz due to the imminent release of Mario Tennis Aces? In the end, I decided it would be best to go for all three, so best get your cross-series guessing hats on. Get quizzing!

Easy
 * 1) What console was the first Mario Party released on?
 * 2) What is the name of the Mario Tennis game that landed on Wii U back in 2015?
 * 3) What is Mario's neutral special move in the Super Smash Bros. series?

Medium
 * 1) Which long-running Mario character first debuted in a Mario Tennis game?
 * 2) Who are the 12 original fighters in the Super Smash Bros. series?
 * 3) What do you eat in Mario Party 8 to gain special powers?

Hard
 * 1) How many stages are there in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U?
 * 2) Who are the six character portraits in Mario Power Tennis in the minigame, Artist on the Court?
 * 3) What started the argument between Brighton and Twila in Mario Party 6?
