The 'Shroom:Issue 174/Fun Stuff





Staff Notes
Written by:

Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! Welcome to this September edition of Fun Stuff. At the time of you reading this, I'm going to be moving into my college dorms, which is... staggering, to say the least. I mean, the last time I was in full, in-person school was the middle of junior year, and now suddenly I'm going off and being independent as a college student?! It feels unreal. I'm excited, but also a bit anxious. Only time will tell how this coming school year goes for me. For those of you freshly in your own school buildings, I hope your studies are going well, and I know you can rock this!

As for Fun Stuff this month, all I have to report is that will be shifting to a volunteer basis for his Trivia Time! section. He hasn't been able to make it for this issue, but don't fret, as we'll be seeing his return soon enough.

That's all from me up in the office. Take care of yourself, much love to you, and enjoy this start of fall 'Shroom issue!

Section of the Month

Congratulations to for another first place ranking! Additional kudos to and  for second and third place respectively, and thank you to all of you for reading and voting!

Anagrams
Written by:

Hi all, welcome back to another edition of anagrams! This month, I've out together a set of WarioWare Gold themed anagrams, as WarioWare: Get It Together! came out earlier this month... but to avoid spoilers for everyone (myself included), I won't be making anagrams of that just yet. I know we have some themed issues coming up soon, but suggestions for future themes from readers are always welcome, so feel free to send me your suggestions either on my talk page or by sending me a PM on the forums. And with that, I'll let you have a Gold at these anagrams!

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!

1. ACCIDENTALLY OMITS AD

2. LOON RUB

3. SHAME A LUGE

4. WAIL OR BOW

5. LAST THIEF

6. LULL EX VIE

7. JET ECHO LOSS

8. GEAR MY SNAKE

9. ICY ROCKET GUN

10. A SWEET GUILT

11. GO PLUCK GNAT

Hello everyone, it's MarioMorty, and welcome back to another edition of Crosswords. Now with the NFL season kicking off I figured I'll do a sports themed one, so here is a Mario Sports Game Crossword. Due to constraints, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games titles will not be on here, and numbers should be written with letters (1=one, 2=two, etc). Otherwise enjoy, and GO BEARS.

Hiding Koopa
Written by:

Hey! That tennis ball was not even out of the field! Who's the stupid judge! Clearly they don't know a single thing about tennis!

Oh, huh... hello there, 'Shroom readers! A new round of Hiding Koopa is awaiting you here.

Sorry about that, but I have been following the New Wikisburg Tennis Tournament lately, and the matches are becoming more and more intense. I have to say I got so carried away that I decided to install a TV near my desk in Fun Stuff's office to make sure I don't lose anything from the current match. I have only been warned by Rose to keep quiet, but I may have been shouting a little too often. :worry:

Speaking of tennis, my five Koopas are currently hiding in an artwork of Mario Tennis Aces, so I guess I am not the only one who is into tennis at the moment. Good luck finding them all!

Now, time for me to resume watching the tourn- Hey! Is that Shmaluigi in the audience!?



Answer:

Did you find them all? Regardless, thank you very much for your support, and I hope you will come back next month! In the meantime, look at our sign up page, and apply to the 'Shroom!

Where in the Marioverse is Carmen Sandiego?

“Gumshoe, we have a request from Luigi this time for you. I’m sure you know about Mario Kart Live, where players race remote control karts on an AR track in their homes. Currently, there are only two racers available: Mario and Luigi. Well, Luigi has come to us seeking help: his kart set has been stolen by someone! Without the kart, he can’t join Mario and the others in these mini-Mario Kart races. We’ve interviewed witnesses at the scene, and it sounds like our culprit is Carmen’s master of mischief, Greedy Goomba. Does she want to join in on the races, or is she planning something much more sinister currently? We’ll keep an eye on the situation while you’re out on the case, so get going, gumshoe!”
