Mystery Images

Hi, everybody! This is your now-has-one-more-core-staff-position Mystery Images writer, Tucayo! And yeah, I now have to manage the statistics. Or at least that's what I think the Statistics Manager does. Now, let's get to what you probably care about, my section. Once again I changed things up a little bit, last time you had to guess logos, now I'll put your Marioverse Geography skills to the test! That's right, you'll see 5 snippets from different locations from different games and you gotta guess which places are depicted in each one. If you have any suggestions regarding my section (or something off-topic, perhaps suggestions on whether I should grow a beard), please PM them to me by clicking the following link, it's not a virus, I promise.
