The 'Shroom:Issue XCIX/Mario Calendar

Mario Calendar by

First of all, I need to apologize to you guys. I had written a nice small introduction to mark my return to the paper, but, as you can see at the beginning of last month’s issue, I decided against using it due to recent events requiring more attention. That, however, will not stop me from including that piece of text in this month’s section, so it’s time for a little flashbaaaaaaack...

Ok, I’ll just sneak in and act as if nothing happened after September… They’ll never notice the difference…

KA-CHUNG!

''Be careful, you stupid Yoshi! Dear God, will I ever learn not to be so clumsy?''

Uh-oh, what’s going on??

*Gate opens*

Alright, what on Earth is this? Oh, hello there you guys. I’m sure there’s a good explanation for everyth—oh, who am I kidding? Yes, I am back to the paper, this time for real, and although I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to stay here due to various complex factors (that’s how life goes, right?), it doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy this run any less than the previous one.

Turns out, I was lurking around all the time, just waiting for the right moment to return. I (obviously) want to write more sections, but, since I’m not guaranteed to keep this position for a long time, I don’t want to commit to writing even more sections, only to leave them just as quickly. However, I will try to write one-off sections in different Sub-Teams from time to time, especially Critic Corner, as I still haven’t written anything for them (the only team in that situation).

Anyway, I guess that’s enough rambling for now, so I’ll leave you with all the Mario-related games released during June. Here they are:
