The 'Shroom:Issue 183/Fun Stuff

Director's Notes
Written by:

Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! Welcome into a tropical edition of Fun Stuff! This June has been a real doozy for us here in the office, but we managed to pull together your favorite sections to enjoy. Sit down, relax awhile! We've got relaxing chairs, fresh slushies, and ocean ambience noises to really make you feel like you're on vacation. We even have a sandpit, just like the beach! Don't worry, counted every grain.

While you're chilling with the Fun Stuff crew, I've got to get ready for my announcing gig! That's right, I'm helping to announce The 'Shroom's super-special Blooper Race event! Make sure to check that out later; I promise its high-speed action will be worth your time. Don't mind me as I just practice my commentator voice over here in the corner... What do announcers call the audience a lot? "Folks"?

Enjoy your stay here, dear readers, and have a wonderful rest of your June!

Oh yeah and Happy Pride Month!!! 🌈🌈🌈🌈

Section of the Month

Congratulations to for taking the first place, and further congratulations to  and  for tying second place! A special thank you to all of our contributors and writers, especially in a time as chaotic as this!

Anagrams
Written by:

Hello all, I hope you're having a nice June. Well, this month, we have a nice, bright Sunshine theme for the paper, and I've decided to go for something a little different to go with the theme, giving you a bunch of beaches to sort out. As a matter of fact, I thought I had done Sunshine before- but it appears I may be wrong about that- though I just liked the idea for the theme so much I don't want to scrap it or forget about it! Sometimes I just get stuck on a theme that I love the idea for- but I'd also love to hear any suggestions you all have, both for themes or fun anagrams that you might happen to have- I know you're all very creative! Please, do inform me of anything you might have in mind on my talk page or in a PM to me on the forums, I'd love to have a go at incorporating it. And with that, I'll let you take some time out to relax and get these anagrams all sorted!

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. WHY COAX BAGEL LAB

2. RAMP HOLES

3. BOMB YOGA WORKLOAD BOATS

4. LIE HISSES NUNS

Hiding Koopa
Written by:

Hello, 'Shroom readers! Here again for a new round of Hiding Koopa!

Going to keep it brief this month since I am fighting against the chaos that is this month. Anyway, it's the Summer Special themed around Super Mario Sunshine this month! My five Koopas are currently hiding in an artwork from that game released 20 years ago on the Nintendo Gamecube. Good luck finding them all!

Looking at the artwork, it reminds me that I need a vacation...



Did you find them all? Regardless, thank you very much for your support, and I hope you will come back next month!

Where in the Marioverse is Carmen Sandiego?
Written by:

“Gumshoe, your new assignment is here. It seems that Carmen is looking at some exterior design- she’s made off with the entire Delfino Plaza! The residents only had moments to evacuate the plaza before Carmen’s elite crew drilled it out of the ground and flew it away! Many residents are now without homes, businesses have been ripped away, and the island is in danger of sinking into the ocean. The iconic setting of Super Mario Sunshine is now little more than a crater in the ground, and something has to be done before everything else is lost as well! We need you to get on the case as soon as possible- since it’s Carmen’s elite crew, they’ll be expecting you to be on this case. Be careful out there, and don’t dawdle on this one!”

CASE CLOSED

Musical Quiz
Written by:

Hi, I'm WildWario, and this is Musical Quiz. This game is simple, just listen to the music and guess where it comes from. The answers can be found at the bottom of the list. The quiz is themed around areas that are related to Isle Delfino and Super Mario Sunshine (there's going to be a lot of music from that game), so try your very best to get these questions right.

 That's it for this issue's Musical Quiz. See you next issue for another quiz.
