The 'Shroom:Issue 139/Staff Notes
Hey everyone! It's that time for the special spooky October issue! Plenty of people have made sections around Halloween and other stuff. There isn't much for announcements, but I do believe that there is some exciting news! December is when the traditional holiday issue occurs, and we've confirmed the theme! The theme for Issue 141 will be Super Smash Bros. Since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be releasing at the start of the month, and the 20th anniversary is just around the corner of 141's release, that is why we will be theming around that. I invite you all to please send us guest sections! We want to make this year's holiday issue special. That being said, please enjoy this month's issue and all the hard work our staff and writers have put into it.
—Meta Knight, Director
I have nothing productive to say. Come back next month!

Staff Section of the Month for September 2018
| STAFF-VOTED SECTION OF THE MONTH | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Place | Section | Writer | Reasoning | |
| 1st | Mach Speed Mayhem | Superchao (talk) | Great section to read, even for someone who might not know anything about the F-Zero franchise beyond Captain Falcon being the flaming punchy guy in Smash Bros., this section is still surprisingly easy to follow while still making sense and being informative. | |
| 2nd | Selling Out | Hooded Pitohui (talk) | While Raregold does a good job, seeing this goofy section with Hooded Pitohui's own take on it is pretty nice. He maintained the soft lore and styling, but had his own voice, making a successful cover. When's the Open House? | |
| 3rd | Hooded Pitohui's Award Reflections | Hooded Pitohui (talk) | Aside from being a neat reflection, HP also encourages making presentations and hosting tournaments with valid arguments and assurances about doing so. | |
| 4th | Shop Scout | Hooded Pitohui (talk) | An intimidating chunk of text at first glance, this is another good edition with Hooded Pitohui's enrapturing story style. | |
| 5th | Anton's Half-Baked Reviews | Hypnotoad (talk) | An engaging and down-to-earth section. Anton's reviews reflect thoughtful consideration and confidence in his own assessments, and the detailed but brief introductions to each product and casual writing style make the reviews highly accessible. | |
