Overall, I would consider this to be a very strong month for Mario! With North American releases for Super Mario World and Super Mario 64, two of the greatest Mario games of all time, this would already be a strong month, but it also had the original Japanese release for Super Mario Bros.! That’s an incredibly important Mario game, and we wouldn’t be here without it! Not to mention the fact that Super Mario 3D All-Stars is coming this month! I hope you all have fun with that (if you can get your hands on it). See you next month!

Mario Awards Killing Game 4: Despair Incorporated Forum thread GBAToad and The Pyro GuyAfter the successful defeat of Big Changes, the endgame phase commenced with the four remaining players (MrConcreteDonkey, Luigi 64DD, Superchao, and Epic Nitwit) attempting to escape, and the ghosts of the eliminated players trying to thwart them. The submission period has long ended, and we are waiting for the final results which are expected to be released soon.
