Anagrams
Written by:

Hi guys, I hope you're all having a nice month that hopefully isn't as hot as mine at the moment! This month, I've decided to put together anagrams based on Mario stages in the Super Smash Bros. series- and yes, that does include Wario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong for any picky-pants out there. If you have a theme in mind that I could use which doesn't require clarifications like that, or any theme in fact, please let me know on my talk page or in a PM to me on the forums, I'll be sure to get that sorted. Alright, I'll finally let you smash on with this special set on the anagrams battlefield!

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. SHY IS TO ROSY

2. PET PAPYRUS HERE

3. FAZED OIL PLAN

4. RAW IS BOUNCIER

5. SIDELONG PLAN

6. TWINKLED HALCYON

7. A PROPER AIM

8. MIX A RAY GOAL

9. INWARD OR BOA

10. LOGO FLANKS

11. OWL DOLLY ROW

12. JUNK LOON EGG

Bonus anagram:

Word Search
Written by:

That’s right boys, it’s a word search about classic "good" game Donkey Kong 64. A game where you collect five different colored bananas, blueprints, special Golden Bananas, Banana Coins, and pictures of Banana Fairies. That’s just the collectibles with story purposes, so those aren’t even including things like Battle Crowns and Banana Medals and music notes and orange grenades you can also collect! Words can be found vertically, horizontally, backwards, and within other words. As always, have fun stay safe!



Hiding Koopa
Written by:

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

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is incoming, and I am really feeling it! This month, five Koopas are hiding away in an artwork from that game, so good luck finding them all!



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

Welcome back to a new edition of Picross! Now, the very day that this issue releases happens to be my birthday, and since such an opportunity comes once in a blue moon, the picrosses in this issue are themed around a Mario Party game, because you can't have a birthday without a party. Specifically, Mario Party 9, because not only was it the first Mario Party game that I played, but also the first Mario game that I ever experienced. Despite the criticisms that this entry has received, I can't deny that I have some nostalgia for this one. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the picrosses!

I hope you enjoyed this issue of Picross! More picrosses will await next month.

Where in the Marioverse is Carmen Sandiego?
Written by:

“We’ve got a smaller job for you today, gumshoe, while we wait for a lead on Carmen’s whereabouts. Wario believes he’s misplaced a flash drive in his factory that contains data for several new microgames on it, and he’s requesting that you come out to help look for it. I know it’s only a simple lost and found search, but would you rather be working on paperwork? I didn’t think so. Now, you’ll be searching through several games’ worth of microgames in the factory, to find the flash drive, so make sure you’re read up on your WarioWare lore! If you’re ready, gumshoe, we’ll send you off to the factory so you can get to work!”
