STR Review: Super Mario Galaxy
STR readers who were kids during the 1980s might remember the ?Super Mario Brothers Super-Show?, back then one of the most bizarre Saturday morning shows. What many of you may not know is that this hyper-frenetic kids TV show was was turned into a series of video games that became somewhat popular in Japan.
Former champ wrestler “Captain” Lou Albano still makes a living by providing the voice of Nintendo’s Mario. Only the crazy Japanese could have been inspired to make a game from Lou’s crazy ideas!
Nintendo must be running out of ideas because this years’s over-hyped game is a return to Lou Albano’s psychedelic drug-fueled ?World of Mario?.
Nintendo have chosen this mediocre game as the subject of a multi million dollar advertising campaign. They intend to promote their red-capped plumber to a new generation of kids, but is that going to be enough to tempt kids away from Madden and some of the season’s excellent sporting titles.Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo’s budget-price Wii console is basically a re-hashing of their 1991 ?classic? Super Mario Sunshine, in fact astute readers will notice that it shares exactly the same plot!
This is hardly likely to be a problem for Nintendo because almost nobody who has played the previous generation of Mario’s antics will be young enough to consider buying this ‘re-booted’ Mario.
As with all of Mario’s games, the story is simple and largely irrelevant to the action: Mario’s girlfriend ?Princess Peach? has been once-again kidnapped by ?Bowser?, a satanic, spiked dragon-like demon. Rather than inform the relevant authorities, Mr Mario sets out as a sort of vigilante in order to rescue his beloved.
In order to rescue Peach the red-capped plumber has to collect satanic pentagrams, mis-translated as ?power-stars? with which Mario intends to increase his own demonic power to rival Bowser’s. These pentagrams are scattered around a number of ?galaxies? through which Mario must battle his way in order to retrieve. Pentagrams are rewarded for taking risks, performing stunts or acts of aggression
Troubling: Pentagrams like these are the object of Mario’s quest. The Japanise occultists who provided the inspiration for Mario’s galaxy clearly believed that kids would be more likely to believe in it if they made the occult symbols cute.
Mario is an excessively violent game: Mario must defeat a series of enemies by slamming into them, attacking them with a hammer, incinerating them or by jumping on their heads. I hate to think what might happen if impressionable liberal teens try to imitate Mario’s preposterous acrobatics. A game this violent should certainly come with stern disclaimers.
I downloaded this image from a teen Mario fan’s web-site. “Powned” is hacker slang for “murdered”. The child is throwing a red igloo and an unidentified device at the girl - an all too familiar picture of liberal on liberal game-related violence. Anybody who thinks that video games do not encourage violence should look at this image and think hard.
The bad news does not end there: Assisting Mario and his brother Wario is a cohort of drug-peddling ?Lumas? - star like beings who provide Mario with magic-mushroom like power-ups which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability.
The most valuable commodity the Lumas sell are ?star-bits? - the World of Mario equivalent of crack-cocaine. In my extensive play-testing of this game I counted over sixty overt references to drug-taking or drug culture. Do you really want your kids indoctrinated into the culture of instant gratification?Could it get any worse you ask? How about the occult? In one particularly horrific level Mario is forced to transform himself into a phantom. In this guise Mario can commune with other evil spirits, something that is expressly forbidden according to God’s law. What are Nintendo trying to tell us? That demonology is good, or that kids should study the occult as a means to grow more powerful? This is the unfortunate message that kids will take from Super Mario’s game.
Bottom line: Super Mario galaxy is a game that will most likely appeal to pre-teens and color-blind imbeciles. Younger players will not notice it’s absurd and wildly inconsistent plot. Adults (with the exception of nappy-fetishists) will find it’s childish style off-putting.
Parenting Advice: ShelleyTheRepublican recommends that families avoid this game on account of in the unlikely case that your local suppliers decide to stock it. As an alternative you should consider the excellent ?Left Behind: Eternal Forces?, which is a 100% Christian game which unlike Mario teaches essential life-skills which will be of value if your child is unfortunately not raptured.

“TV show was was turned into a series of video games that became somewhat popular in Japan.”
-I’m gonna go ahead and assume the game came first… and it was a global sensation. Hell, still is.
“This is hardly likely to be a problem for Nintendo because almost nobody who has played the previous generation of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s antics will be young enough to consider buying this ?¢‚ǨÀúre-booted?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ Mario.”
-I work electronics department at my store… the two items that we sell the quickest (and are sold out of within two hours of getting a shipment) are Wii’s and Mario Galaxy.
“Rather than inform the relevant authorities”
-As I recall the ‘relevant authorities’ came to him… multiple times… damn princess is always in another castle…
“In order to rescue Peach the red-capped plumber has to collect satanic pentagrams, mis-translated as ?¢‚Ǩ?ìpower-stars?¢‚Ǩ¬ù with which Mario intends to increase his own demonic power to rival Bowser?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s”
-Uh, no… I’m pretty sure they’re just stars… in fact, I’m pretty sure there aren’t *any* satanic characters or references.
“Mario is an excessively violent game: Mario must defeat a series of enemies by slamming into them, attacking them with a hammer, incinerating them or by jumping on their heads”
-There’s no blood, no guts, no gore. It’s actually all pretty tame outside of the act of attack.
“I downloaded this image from a teen Mario fan?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s web-site. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPowned?¢‚Ǩ¬ù is hacker slang for ?¢‚Ǩ?ìmurdered?¢‚Ǩ¬ù. Anybody who thinks that video games do not encourage violence should look at this image and think hard.”
-That would be
http://www.homestarrunner.com
and it’s not a mario fan site at all. Powned (spelled Pwn’d) comes from an old n00b misspelling of ‘Owned’ gamers in their rush to type would often accidentally hit ‘p’ instead of ‘o’ creating pwned, which got shortened to pwn’d. Pwn’d means to lose horribly.
I.E; ‘Wow, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost 1 to 15? They got pwn’d!’
‘Did you read what Generic Peanut Gallery Member had to say about Bush? He really pwn’d STR!’
“Assisting Mario and his brother Wario is a cohort of drug-peddling”
-I don’t honestly know for sure… but aren’t they unrelated? Wario is just some bizarre, twisted, evil version of Mario?
“which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability”
-Uh… it’s not RPGishly done at *all*…
The Mario series is pretty harmless in my opinion, and is a great gift for kids. It’s interesting to note, as Lance Johnson pointed out to me, that if you read the flashier letters on the box (some letters have stars on them) it spells out; “U R Mr Gay”
I know, I know, I’m just adding fuel to STR’s insane fire by saying that… but it’s pretty funny.

P.S - (been a while eh?) I’m on my Ubuntu computer because Windows totally crashed for no reason.
“Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s budget Wii console is basically a re-hashing of their 1991 ?¢‚Ǩ?ìclassic?¢‚Ǩ¬ù Super Mario Sunshine, in fact astute readers will notice that it shares exactly the same plot!”
Uhm, I have Sunshine in my hand right now, it is not a 91 title. in fact is says 2002.
“Nintendo must be running out of ideas because this years?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s over-hyped game is a return to Lou Albano?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s psychedelic drug-fuelled ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWorld of Mario?¢‚Ǩ¬ù.”
Super Paper Mario may have been drug fuelled, not Galaxy.
“As with all of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s games, the story is simple and largely irrelevant to the action: Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s girlfriend ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPrincess Peach?¢‚Ǩ¬ù has been once-again kidnapped by ?¢‚Ǩ?ìBowser?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, a satanic, spiked dragon-like monster.

Oh yes, David could have simply gone and informed the cop down the street that Goliath is running a muck in the battle field.
“In order to rescue Peach the red-capped plumber has to collect satanic pentagrams, mis-translated as ?¢‚Ǩ?ìpower-stars?¢‚Ǩ¬ù with which Mario intends to increase his own demonic power to rival Bowser?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s.

Stars are a thing, not some satanic symbol. If fact isn’t is the Star of David, I find the MS Windows looks like a Swastika, so should I not use Windows??? And your misunderstanding almost everything, the “Acts of aggression” for defeating evil. If he is making an act of aggression, WTF is Bush doing in Iraq. It’s as simple as this, he defeats evil, he gets rewarded.
“Mario is an excessively violent game: Mario must defeat a series of enemies by slamming into them, attacking them with a hammer, incinerating them or by jumping on their heads.

Oh yes, everyone can have a second life by eating a green mushroom. Everyone can hurtle though space by touching a floating star in the middle of the street. (forgive any wrong facts for I have not played Galaxy yet…. yet). Everyone can jump on top of a dinosaur like creature called a Gomba to kill it.
“I downloaded this image from a teen Mario fan?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s web-site. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPowned?¢‚Ǩ¬ù is hacker slang for ?¢‚Ǩ?ìmurdered?¢‚Ǩ¬ù. Anybody who thinks that video games do not encourage violence should look at this image and think hard.”
Pwned (say it right you idiot) is a “GAMERS” term for getting beat in a game, weather that’s snipped in Halo (an MS game so don’t attack it), beat up in a boxing match, or getting your team beat in Madden NFL 08, it doesn’t matter. It has no reference to getting murdered unless the game is some sort of visualized version of Clue.
“The bad news does not end there: Assisting Mario and his brother Wario is a cohort of drug-peddling ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLumas?¢‚Ǩ¬ù - star like beings who provide Mario with magic-mushroom like power-ups which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability.”
Uhm Wario is an evil version of Mario, you know like the evil twin kinda thing. Mario is also not an RPG game, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, and Tales of Symphonia are RPG’s, Mario I guess would be considered a platformer.
“The most valuable commodity is ?¢‚Ǩ?ìstar-bits?¢‚Ǩ¬ù the Mario galaxy equivalent of crack-cocaine. In my extensive play-testing of this game I counted over sixty overt references to drug-taking or drug culture. Do you really want your kids indoctrinated into the culture of instant gratification?”
Although I have yet to actually play the game, I can honestly say I highly doubt it being a long time player of the Mario series and Nintendo games in general.
“Could it get any worse you ask? How about the occult? In one particularly horrific level Mario is forced to transform himself into a phantom. In this guise Mario can commune with other evil spirits, something that is expressly forbidden according to God?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s law. What are Nintendo trying to tell us? That demonology is good, or that we can”
You all are taking this *WAY* to seriously, it’s a freaking game you retard. It’s not meant to be taken as serious as some. If you want a game you have to take serious, you won’t find one. And you also have to look at the culture that Japan has, back in the day, they believed everything had spirit, from the rocks in the ground, to the water in the rivers, anything born of nature.
“Younger players will not notice it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s absurd and wildly inconsistent plot. Adults (with the exception of nappy-fetishists) will find it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s childish style off-putting.”
Well no duh you idiot, boy I liked Tristan even more than you. Of course it will appeal to children more, it’s a childs game, ever notice the Label on the back by the ESRB? E for everyone usually means that younger kids will like it more, although I’ve found Mario to be a little on the difficult side for *very* young players.
“The Japanise occultists who provided…”
You could at least spell right you bloody idiot, it’s Japanese. With two e’s.
“This is hardly likely to be a problem for Nintendo because almost nobody who has played the previous generation of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s antics will be young enough to consider buying this ?¢‚ǨÀúre-booted?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ Mario.”
Lulz, this doesn’t hold a drop of water, on account that Mario is one of the best selling game franchises *EVER*!!! Only a few select games come even close to the household name that Mario has become.
I would recommend you go look up Goatse, he performs a very detailed and thorough analysis on this game, tearing it wide open to expose the gaping hole of immorality that our children are unfortunately forced to deal with in today’s world.
hey sorry shelley, but that was funny again, well done. (dont you dare to replace the word “funny” by some other word you like more!) Sorry to tell you that, but when your kid cant handle a simple Mario game, than i really dont see a successful future for…it. What when it ever has do work with the internet?! than you would be glad if it only would see cudde little stars
Madden? Wow.
Seriously, I’d rather gut myself.
In fact…ah well, Wraith already pointed out the mistakes. But still, very funny to read, good to see that STR has new satire ideas^^
“STR readers who were kids during the 1980s might remember the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìSuper Mario Brothers Super-Show?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, back then one of the most bizarre Saturday morning shows.

The show was inspired by the game, not the other way around.
“Nintendo must be running out of ideas because this years?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s over-hyped game is a return to Lou Albano?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s psychedelic drug-fuelled ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWorld of Mario?¢‚Ǩ¬ù.

What? Mario is one of the most sucessful franchises Nintendo has, with millions of games sold for any of the Mario Games (the first one came in 1981!). These are some of the most widespread computer-games worldwide.
PS: Sunshine is not from 1991 and Galaxy is continuing the story from it.
“As with all of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s games, the story is simple and largely irrelevant to the action: Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s girlfriend ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPrincess Peach?¢‚Ǩ¬ù has been once-again kidnapped by ?¢‚Ǩ?ìBowser?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, a satanic, spiked dragon-like monster.

Standard American Movie Plot. It?Ǭ¥s not original, but Nintendo gives more about the gameplay than about the story anyway.
“In order to rescue Peach the red-capped plumber has to collect satanic pentagrams, mis-translated as ?¢‚Ǩ?ìpower-stars?¢‚Ǩ¬ù with which Mario intends to increase his own demonic power to rival Bowser?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s. These pentagrams are scattered around a number of ?¢‚Ǩ?ìgalaxies?¢‚Ǩ¬ù through which Mario must battle his way in order to retrieve. Pentagrams are rewarded for taking risks, performing stunts of acts of aggression”
A star is not a Pentagramm per se. And for being satanic, they look rather cute.
“Troubling: Pentagrams like these are the object of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s quest. The Japanise occultists who provided the inspiration for Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s galaxy clearly believed that kids would be more likely to believe in it if they made the occult symbols cute.”
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the biggest religion in Japan is Budhism, which doesn?Ǭ¥t use such symbols.
“Mario is an excessively violent game: Mario must defeat a series of enemies by slamming into them, attacking them with a hammer, incinerating them or by jumping on their heads. I hate to think what might happen if impressionable liberal teens try to imitate Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s preposterous acrobatics. A game this violent should certainly come with stern disclaimers.”
Given that it?Ǭ¥s all in a comic style, an average kid is subjected to more violence by watching the news every evening.
“I downloaded this image from a teen Mario fan?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s web-site. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPowned?¢‚Ǩ¬ù is hacker slang for ?¢‚Ǩ?ìmurdered?¢‚Ǩ¬ù. Anybody who thinks that video games do not encourage violence should look at this image and think hard.”
Pawned (you see that A?) does not mean murdered. It means suddenly getting trumped in a way that can?Ǭ¥t be reversed. It?Ǭ¥s what STR-writers often experience by smart commenters.
“The bad news does not end there: Assisting Mario and his brother Wario is a cohort of drug-peddling ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLumas?¢‚Ǩ¬ù - star like beings who provide Mario with magic-mushroom like power-ups which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability.”
Wario?Ǭ¥s not his brother. ANd otherwise, why do you hate RPG?Ǭ¥s?
“The most valuable commodity is ?¢‚Ǩ?ìstar-bits?¢‚Ǩ¬ù the Mario galaxy equivalent of crack-cocaine. In my extensive play-testing of this game I counted over sixty overt references to drug-taking or drug culture. Do you really want your kids indoctrinated into the culture of instant gratification?”
Seeing as the normal adult would not see any reference of drugs (exceppt if he?Ǭ¥s a rabid right-winger) a kid?Ǭ¥s chance to see such a reference is exactly 0.
“Could it get any worse you ask? How about the occult? In one particularly horrific level Mario is forced to transform himself into a phantom. In this guise Mario can commune with other evil spirits, something that is expressly forbidden according to God?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s law. What are Nintendo trying to tell us? That demonology is good, or that we can”
Demonology? Damn, that are some cute demons there. COuld it be just *gasp* comic figures?
“Bottom line: Super Mario galaxy is a game that will most likely appeal to pre-teens and color-blind imbeciles. Younger players will not notice it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s absurd and wildly inconsistent plot. Adults (with the exception of nappy-fetishists) will find it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s childish style off-putting.”
The Mario games were always for younger people. Although, the games themselves are actually quite fun from my experience.
“Parenting Advice: ShelleyTheRepublican recommends that families avoid this game on account of in the unlikely case that your local suppliers decide to stock it.

Left behind? Ok, the story?Ǭ¥s even worse than that of Mario, the game?Ǭ¥s full of bugs and constantly crashes, the gaming balance is crap and while it needs an high-end PC, the graphics are total junk. Left Behind is a sore attempt to milk christians dry, the game?Ǭ¥s not worth it?Ǭ¥s price by any means. Even the demo sucks.
OKAY; I TAKE BACK MY FORMER STATEMENT THAT JIMMY SHOULD WRITE ABOUT THE WARHAMMER 40K TABLETOP. IF THIS HERE?Ǭ¥S THE BEST HE CAN DO, I?Ǭ¥D RATHER NOT SEE WHAT HE?Ǭ¥D TRY WITH 40K.

IMPEACH BUSH!
I think, you are criticizing too much! On the other hand, I agree with you, we have a lot of evil things on earth, but this game Mario don`t belongs to it. Ok, I have never played with it, I am too old.
You talk about drugs as well. I mean, I belong to this first generation, who used drugs in high numbers in the late 60ies and 70ies. (Woodstock Generation) Now I am over 50 years old and I have no trubles with my life, same with my friends, who used drugs as well 30-40 years ago. You are talking without experience.
I remember very well, as I was young (30-40 years ago) the older people (parents, teachers…and people like you) told us, rockmusic and endless watching TV is bad and these people, who do this, become insane, aggressive and will burn in hell.
We did even more, we listened to Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young…..and used different drugs, we had long hair, an earring, played E-guitar and so on…
Now 30 years later we became respectable people, we have nice families and have good jobs.
I know, we know, the world is dangerous and we have a lot of bad people all over the globe…..but I remember very well, in the 60ies and 70ies we had the same situation, a very dangerous situation - we had the Cold War. Conservative people like you told us, we will get the 3rd Worldwar or the TV and catoons are an evil invention and things like that. Nothing happend…..
Peter Vienna
Now 30 years later we became respectable people, we have nice families and have good jobs.
The problem is so many people of your generation bummed out and burnt out. You are lucky to have escaped the hell of porn-rock like Zappa and Young. We conservatives have been warning America about that kind of trash for almost 40 years.
Unfortunately games are so new - nobody knows what harmful effects the Wii might have simply because it’s only been out for a year. I’m sure we can all agree that until we know that these video games are perfectly safe and do not lead to hard-drug consumption (or other felonies) it’s best that they be banned.
-”As an alternative you should consider the excellent ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLeft Behind: Eternal Forces?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, which is a 100% Christian game which unlike Mario teaches essential life-skills which will be of value if your child is unfortunately not raptured.”
Christian attorney Jack Thompson, who had previously attacked other non-Christian video games, was particularly displeased with the game. Thompson claimed that “The game is about killing people for their lack of faith in Jesus,” which he claimed made it incompatible with basic Christian doctrine, and subsequently broke his connections with Left Behind publisher Tyndale Books.
i would think that you people would attack games like HITMAN and the Halo series, but no, you attack the most family friendly gaming company, and possibly one of the most fun and clean games of all time. i’m going to have to agree with proud german, those stars are pretty damn cute
Jimmy, I know there’s plenty of other things y’all would rather be doing than risking your soul to show people the dangers of not only this game but this mind-control system. I, for one, wanna thank you for the work you put into this. My kids know better than to ask for this kinda thing cuz of the response they’d get. I show ‘em these articles just to let ‘em know exactly the kinda danger they’d put themselves in by playing it.
God is Love!

“show people the dangers of not only this game but this mind-control system.”
WTF?! Mind control?! What have you been smoking and can I have some?
P.S I can’t be screwed dismantling this article, sorry my fellow peanut gallery members.
@Jimmy, Neil Young is “porn rock”? I don’t think his music is even thought of as makeout music by most rock fans! How about an article about that “evil” Pac-man? He eats ghosts! That’s got to be unscriptural somehow! Maybe the ghosts are demons and Pac-man is being possessed! LOL
WTF?! Mind control?! What have you been smoking and can I have some?
Random Aussie/ New Zealander, I’ve not been smoking anything - the only “drug” I need is Jesus Christ, and I can have as many cups of Jesus as I want.
I usually agree wi’ y’all, but comin’ out ‘gainst video games, what are you, nuts?
Yer gonna lose us the 18 to 25 year old vote, an’ after we installed all those shiny new electronic votin’ machines.
“I would recommend you go look up Goatse”
-Heh, nice one catsitter… I didn’t know Goatse was still around…
“Unfortunately games are so new”
-Like what? Twenty, thirty years?
“until we know that these video games are perfectly safe and do not lead to hard-drug consumption (or other felonies) it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s best that they be banned.”
-I’d say we have a pretty good idea that they don’t…
“My kids know better than to ask for this kinda thing cuz of the response they?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d get.”
-*Ahem*; ‘Stop doing the drugs and having the gay sex!’
Oh, we got a shipment of Wii’s and Mario Galaxy in today… they were sold out before they were even fully stocked (five to ten minutes)
-Wraith
Peter Vienna Welcome!!!
Asfor jimmy … Ok Itsa a video game…GAME!!!
Any kid who can’t figure out that they shouldn’t be acting like the game needs a lot of help and probibly has bigger issues than a video game. There are so many other more violent games that you could butcher, but mario? Whatever.
Too much quotes… I’m gonna get p0wned.
And Mario Bros is controlling my mind, making me do japanese sorcery on pentagrams… AKIRA! AKIRA IS COMING!
–”the only ?¢‚Ǩ?ìdrug?¢‚Ǩ¬ù I need is Jesus Christ”
Thus proving that god is a narcotic for people who can’t accept they are fully responsible for all their actions, and can’t accept that their life is an insignificant mathematical probability on the grand scale of the universe.
All these comments make me wonder whether this is satire or not. Or whether the not-getting-it is just a way to add fun to it.
Overall this is all uber-funny to read :D
“Random Aussie/ New Zealander, I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve not been smoking anything - the only ?¢‚Ǩ?ìdrug?¢‚Ǩ¬ù I need is Jesus Christ, and I can have as many cups of Jesus as I want.”
Wow, so it’s not just me, I guess Jesus Christ is a new term for pot, or perhaps an RX drug, either way I’m glad to know that I’m not the crazy one thinking you are on drugs.
“Thus proving that god is a narcotic for people who can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t accept they are fully responsible for all their actions, and can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t accept that their life is an insignificant mathematical probability on the grand scale of the universe.”
Don’t make me dig up that quote by Karl Marx that “Religion is the opiate of the people.”
Too late…
“the only ?¢‚Ǩ?ìdrug?¢‚Ǩ¬ù I need is Jesus Christ”
“Religion is the opiate of the masses.” You make that true, hypocrite.
?¢‚Ǩ?ìuntil we know that these video games are perfectly safe and do not lead to hard-drug consumption (or other felonies) it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s best that they be banned.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Wow. Another ‘let’s attack them just in case they might possibly have a vague notion of attacking us!’ It won’t work with Iran, and it won’t work here.
“The child is throwing a red igloo and an unidentified device at the girl ”
Turtle shell. Gameboy/Personal Gaming Console. Do some research.
“Nintendo have chosen this mediocre game as the subject of a multi million dollar advertising campaign. They intend to promote their red-capped plumber to a new generation of kids, but is that going to be enough to tempt kids away from Madden and some of the season?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s excellent sporting titles.”
Aside from the punctuation and ineffective thesis, there’s one thing to keep in mind. There’s this new concept, only about 150-200 years old or so that’s called persona ficta. It means that legally, a corperation such a Microsoft or Nintendo acts as a “fictional person”, meaning that it can own property, sue and be sued. It also means that when you refer to a corperation, you refer to it in the singular. Nintendo *has*, *It* attemts.
I usually try to stay away from grammar and such, but this time I just couldn’t resist.
Now, I’m going to listen to Bury Your Dead and play WOW on my new Ubuntu environment. Pwn’d no0b!
“STR readers who were kids during the 1980s might remember the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìSuper Mario Brothers Super-Show?¢‚Ǩ¬ù”
-Oohhh boy do I! =]
“What many of you may not know is that this hyper-frenetic kids TV show was was turned into a series of video games that became somewhat popular in Japan.”
-Sorry but the show is based on the game you idiot
“Only the crazy Japanese could have been inspired to make a game from Lou?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s crazy ideas!”

“Pentagrams like these are the object of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s quest. The Japanise occultists who provided the inspiration for Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s galaxy clearly believed that kids would be more likely to believe in it if they made the occult symbols cute.”

P.S. Once again the STR crew has proven ultimately incapable of doing any research into what they are against which is just stupid. And proves that they are an unworthy branch of the species as you often have NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!
although i m not saying that this site is indeed false, and its purpose is for the humor of others, it is quite possible with the lack of research in certain places, such as the following quote and response by Salokin
?¢‚Ǩ?ìPentagrams like these are the object of Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s quest. The Japanise occultists who provided the inspiration for Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s galaxy clearly believed that kids would be more likely to believe in it if they made the occult symbols cute.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù

Billy Bob Neck said: “mind-control system.”
Amen, Brother! Thanks for never being afraid to speak God’s own truth!
It’s worse than that, my friend. Pac-Man gobbles lds tablets and extasy “power pills.” When Tu-Pac gobbles power pills he goes on a voyage to trip out city.
“Pac” is Japanese for “drug,” BTW.
“Drug-Man.” Think about it.
Considering your massive failure, you should probably steer clear of it in the future.
@Richard23:

@Richard23, Pac-Man gobbles LDS tablets? Is that like Catholic Eucharists? What does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(The Mormons) have to do with Pac -Man? Or are you a moron who can’t spell LSD?

So-and-So, the girl… Yes, sadly I’ll admit to frequenting http://www.homestarrunner.com enough to know that.

@Wraith…as per our private conversation earlier…WINE works extremely well. It doesn’t even slow down the game. Of course that’s probably because Ubuntu is GIGs less that XP.
I sympathize…honestly, they should have stuff like that posted…”here lies guys who will whip your ass”.
As for the HSR thing - good catch. I definitely need to catch up to the times.

Nintendo *has*, *It* attemts.
I usually try to stay away from grammar and such,
Considering your massive failure, you should probably steer clear of it in the future.”
One word, twit. First, couldn’t you make that all one comment you scatter-brained fool. Second, Where is the commandment that says “Thou shalt now play video games” or “Thou shalt not entertain thyself” or even “Thou shalt not use mind alteration?” I man you call this God’s Law but His Law is so freaking vague there never really is no Sin or not, because His Law never describes that situation. You know what that tells me? That tells me that God’s Law is outdated and needs to be modernized to include “Thou shalt not practice homosexuality” if God so wills it. You see my point, half the things you say are against God’s law aren’t even mentioned in the bible, ten commandments, or any other medium that I’ve heard of. Show me the doctrine, the document, the piece of paper and/or other type of recording that says that anything you say is against God’s Law, prove it in other words you idiot.
by “Thou shalt not use Mind alteration” I mean drugs.
whew, good thing i kept reading, i almost thought the link comment at 12:08 was STR editing posts again. and thank you link for hitting the nail straight on the head
Fags.
FAGS!
Damn, The Dude is the pitcher, Wraith is the catcher.
FAAAAAGGGGSSSSS!
Good point. There isn’t one. So knock it off! Stop playing those satanic games, you retards!
“Damn, The Dude is the pitcher, Wraith is the catcher.
FAAAAAGGGGSSSSS!”
I’m gathering that you don’t watch Baseball, the “Great American Passtime.” *Idiot*. In reality the only one you have *any* reason to call gay (I refuse to use the word f@g) is me on account of my linked website. That’s all aside from the fact of whether I am gay or not.
“Good point. There isn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t one. So knock it off! Stop playing those satanic games, you retards!”
Good point? yeah the one right on top of your head. You just disproved yourself, if it doesn’t say I cannot, which you just backed up (backed up, hehe. Sorry, computer nerd), then I *CAN* you idiot.

Hmm very interesting :P.
?¢‚Ǩ?ìThou shalt now play video games?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
Oops, I made a mistake, this should read “thou shalt not play video games” my bad. Richard, although your still an idiot, I apologize for attacking you, it was a misunderstanding.
Richard, Richard, Richard… why do you keep walking back to this battle of wits without any arms?
The private convo was about WINE, it’s a windows emulator that allows Linux based systems to run windows programmes without any trouble. I expressed concerns as to the speed WINE would allow me for my high end gaming. The here lies comment was pretty self explainatory… MMO’s are pretty bad for random zones of characters that are double your level and standing in groups of forty… if you run into one such group you can expect to survive long enough to do a doubletake and curse under your breath.
So, to make a long story short, if namecalling is the best you’ve got Richard I suggest you find a seven year old to debate with, he’s likely to be more at your level.
Seriously, was your threat to stop commenting empty?
-Wraith
Richard, what shall I ever do with you. You are hopelessly lost up your own ass, and have no idea what’s going on in the real world.
But I suppose that’s ok, you’re where you want to be, and I can’t really judge you for that. (Yes, that was irony. There’s a lesson to be learned for all of STR’s staff and fan club).
For starters, Wraith and I interact separately from STR. We have many conversations which, in general, are either entirely over the heads of those we tend to argue with, or entirely unrelated to anything going on within the discussions of this site. (By the way, insinuating that Wraith and I are engaged in an alternate lifestyle is most definitely unrelated to Mario Bros. and Nintendo).
Secondly, my response to Wraith dealt with his recent loss in Guild Wars, and the level incongruities associated with that, as well as his noting that one of the pictures in the above article was from the site http://www.homestarrunner.com (and probably used without express permission, methinks).
Thirdly, you have yet again ruined one of the United States’ culturally iconic institutions. I can accept that you intended it in a slang fashion, but for the most part, those of us in the Peanut Gallery have more respect for others and more self confidence than to hide what we are saying behind a wall of hermeneutical disambiguations.
Fourthly, there is no evidence, as per my previous arguments, that either Wraith or I are gay or bisexual. I, personally am engaged to a wonderful woman, and am entirely monogamous.
Therefore, Richard, you are wrong.
P.S. Wraith, WINE isn’t an emulator, actually that’s what it stands for: WINE Is Not an Emulator.
Like I said, “FAAAGGSSS!”
Gay.
Really gay.
Undeniably gay.
Totally gay!
Ugh. Keep your penis out of my bottom as Jesus Himself commands. You faggy fag.
Richard, do you even listen to yourself? You insulted me, which was bad enough, and now, when I reply with an intelligent, cohesive, thought-through rebuttal, you can’t even give me the same respect as I give you.
I hereby petition STR and it’s staff to block Richard23 until I have received either a logical rebuttal which deals with the issues I have put forward, or an apology.
i agree with ThatDude, please block Richard 23 for at least some period of time so we dont have to read comments akin to that of a seven year old. in no way does communicating outside of this ridiculous site make either Wraith or ThatDude gay. in what ThatDude is saying, there is no logical way you could make a connection that ThatDude is gay. and i AM NOT repeat NOT calling ThatDude in any way gay, bi, or any thing of the sort.
and people, mostly Richard, if you are going to quote people, Quote everything said, not just the parts you can put together to your advantage and call people fags
OK, I apologize for your idiocy.
I hope that makes you feel better.
Oh, and I’m sorry you’re gay too. It must be hard for you.
Am I invisable to Richard??? Richard, do you have any idea how stupid you sound? I’ve argued with 2nd years (that’s a 10th grader) who have put up better arguments. You are the one that needs to apologize, I also chat and talk with Wraith off STR you idiot, and if that makes me gay, then you talking to anyone of the same sex must make you gay, and talking to anyone of the oposite sex must make you a sexual deviant. What a lonely and sad little life you must live.
“Oh, and I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m sorry you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re gay too. It must be hard for you.”
If you where gay would you admit it??? I didn’t think so. I still don’t understand why people treat gay as an insult. People who are Gay and/or lesbian or any other of the sort, are some of the bravest people I know to stand up to people like you who leave them beat up in the street and say your working in the name of God. I cannot find the article right now, but not long ago there was a women who was propositioned by two men, she simply said she was a lesbian. Two hours the ambulance was pulling up to save a women who was almost beaten to death, is this the kind of world you want??? Is this what you want for God’s people???
“P.S. Wraith, WINE isn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t an emulator, actually that?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s what it stands for: WINE Is Not an Emulator.”
-Emulator was the best way I could think to describe it, but fair enough. Thanks for the correction.
“Oh, and I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m sorry you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re gay too. It must be hard for you.”
-You know some people that frequent this site actually *are* gay, bi, lesbian, whatevs… It strikes me as sad that you can’t see past your own stereotyping to what it actually means. Homosexuality means nothing more than to have a sexual attraction to those of the same gender; it does *not* change who you are, or how you act. Those are personal choices.
If you *must* know Richard I talk to a good number of the Peanut Gallerians, either through email or MSN. Some guys, some gals, all decent, good people. I, personally, find it hilarious when somebody uses ‘gay’ or ‘fag’ as an insult, because, to me, they’re just expressing their own ignorance.
Besides, I’m sure if you tried Richard you could find someway that *you* are a minority, how would you like to be singled out for that?
-Wraith
Jimmy Goddard… please learn the meaning of research.
Mario was a Japanese concept.. and was first created by Nintendo by Shigeru Miyamoto. First appeared back in the arcade in platformers.. I remember its release.
Mario is a hero character who saves the Princess… Id thought its the kinda story America likes to base its idealisms on.
pOwned = term meaning to kick arse.. to win.. to beat… out play.. etc etc.
I couldn’t care less. Because I am right with the Lord. Have you been born again? Have you been saved? It’s a great minority to be in, you heathen.
Minority? Feh. Christians are a majority in this country.
Thankfully, it’s the people who take it too far - people like you - who are the minority.
How about this: If you can prove to me that the Bible is any more true than any other belief (which includes Buddhism, Hinduism, Greek mythologies, etc.), I’ll convert. And not only will I convert, I will publicly denounce my ideals and embrace the morally incorrect ideals presented by the Bible.
But wait! If you can’t prove it, you have to renounce the Bible and take up with a different sect! You have twenty-four hours. Bring the noise, bitch.
I couldn’t help but notice…
But wasn’t the “War on pornography” a large skit done by the Monty Python’s Flying Circus, an old British skit comedy show?

Yeah, WoW, I’m glad I got away from it when I felt like it, it’s pretty addicting.
Greetings from liberal Holland,
Thomas van der Meer
“I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m glad I got away from it when I felt like it, it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s pretty addicting.”
That’s the reason I refuse to touch that game ever again.
“But wasn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìWar on pornography?¢‚Ǩ¬ù a large skit done by the Monty Python?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Flying Circus”
-Not sure… though this is the Ministry of silly talks, besides;
‘without the ability to defend one’s own viewpoint against other perhaps more aggressive ideologies, then reasonableness and moderation could, quite simply, disappear. That is why we’ll always need an army, and may God strike me down were it to be otherwise.’

Even Jack Thompson who STR previously have praised for his principles has criticised “Left Behind: Eternal Forces”
Only threat to children with this game is that they might sit inside and play to much instead of getting exercise
Wow, I have never seen a more poorly researched review in my life. The amount of factual errors in that is shocking, I find myself wondering is it a joke or something?
And it is quite obvious the writer (whose email isn’t on the contacts page by the way, i would have liked to email this message directly to the source)
The reference to the cartoon at the start, completely backwards, the show is based on the videogame which became popular across the world, the writer says “Only the crazy Japanese could have been inspired to make a game from Lou?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s crazy ideas!”, no actually “Only the crazy American TV Networks could be inspired by a popular Japanese game to try cash-in on it” would be more accurate.
As for the game having a similar plot to previous Mario games, that makes little difference, the plot has always been secondary in a Mario game, it is the gameplay, enjoyability and challenge that has always been the essential elements that made the Mario games so great and successful.
“Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s girlfriend ?¢‚Ǩ?ìPrincess Peach?¢‚Ǩ¬ù has been once-again kidnapped by ?¢‚Ǩ?ìBowser?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, a satanic, spiked dragon-like demon.”
-What would like the bad guy to look more like Jesus?
“Rather than inform the relevant authorities, Mr Mario sets out as a sort of vigilante in order to rescue his beloved.”
- That would make for one short and boring game… oh no the Princess is kidnapped, Mario picks up phone and calls police, game ends?
Does god ban imagination and fictional storytelling too?
And the description of the “Power Stars” as pentagrams, I mean come on, now that is just reaching in all honesty, I see this site is very “pro-america” too… hey are those 50 white pentagram on the american flag?
“Mario is an excessively violent game:”
- Wow, if you think Mario is “excessively violent” then don’t even think of trying to review a first-person-shooter or even an RPG. And there is reference to a hammer in that paragraph too… Mario does not even use a hammer in this game. And as for “Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s preposterous acrobatics”, if someone is dumb enough to think they can copy Mario’s jumping feats in real life then they are likely not smart enough to turn on a TV anyway.
And “powned” is not “hacker” slang, it would be more “gamer” slang (two totally different things) and does not mean “murdered” it’s more like “to have lost badly”, like if a basketball team lost 100 - 0, the losers were “pnwed” and further more this term does not even appear in the game and should have no relevance in a review of the game.
“Wario” is then mentioned, who does not even appear in the game.
As for “magic-mushroom like power-ups which in typical RPG style enhance his fighting ability.”
-firstly “magic-mushroom like power-ups” make no sense, they are “power-ups” that are shaped like mushrooms, which they have been using since the first game back in the 1980’s, ok it’s easy to try and draw a similarity between these but don’t go thinking your the first, aside from the shape they have no similarities to the real life “magic-mushrooms”, there are types of mushrooms too in real life that aren’t “magic” too you know. I suppose Pop-eye and spinich is also a drug reference?
Oh and this game is also not in the “RPG” genre, again your just showing you know nothing about games and really have no right to judge them.
“The most valuable commodity the Lumas sell are ?¢‚Ǩ?ìstar-bits?¢‚Ǩ¬ù - the World of Mario equivalent of crack-cocaine.”
Please tell me how in the world you can relate “star-bits” to cocaine? Cause last I check, cocaine doesn’t fall from the sky and doesn’t come in various colours.
“In my extensive play-testing of this game I counted over sixty overt references to drug-taking or drug culture.”
-I doubt your “Play test” was that extensive from reading this so-called “review”, and I would love to see what these 60 references, just to see how far you can twist something to fit your own ignorant enclosed world.
And as for the “turning into a ghost and occult” stuff you mentioned, “What are Nintendo trying to tell us? That demonology is good, or that kids should study the occult as a means to grow more powerful? This is the unfortunate message that kids will take from Super Mario?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s game.”
- If a kid could take that message from this game, then they must already be someone like you anyway and would not be playing it. Once again, is it against god to have an imagination?
“Super Mario galaxy is a game that will most likely appeal to pre-teens and color-blind imbeciles. Younger players will not notice it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s absurd and wildly inconsistent plot. Adults (with the exception of nappy-fetishists) will find it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s childish style off-putting.”
- Mario games appeal to a wide audience, from the young to the adult, it’s childish style is not off-putting to a gamer, most will not care what a game looks like so long as it is fun to play and enjoyable. As for “absurd and inconsistent plot”, well I don’t think the plot is that “inconsistent” seeing as it is very minimal, but “absurd”, well if you mean it’s not like real-life, of course it’s absurd, it’s a video game, a fantasy story like many books and films are. And I fail to see how “nappy fetish” comes into it in anyway, once again you’re just trying to twist things around and make it sound sensationalized to fit your tiny opinion of the world.
“ShelleyTheRepublican recommends that families avoid this game on account of in the unlikely case that your local suppliers decide to stock it.”
- If the stores “decide” to stock it, hahaha, they can barely keep it in stock, it’s one of the most wanted (and best) games of 2007.
“As an alternative you should consider the excellent ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLeft Behind: Eternal Forces?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, which is a 100% Christian game which unlike Mario teaches essential life-skills which will be of value if your child is unfortunately not raptured.”
- Ah yes, kids should instead be playing a game that encourages religous warfare, intolerance and promotes the killing of other for lack of faith in jesus, as if they were no longer entitled to their free-will and freedom of choice. Yes that sounds like a child friendly game indeed.
Random question, if a person leads a good life and is a good person, works hard, has a family and raises them to be good people, what should it matter what religion they are, what god they believe (if any) or what entertainment they choose to view and/or read.
woops, just spotted a small error in my second sentance
“And it is quite obvious the writer (whose email isn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t on the contacts page by the way, i would have liked to email this message directly to the source)…”
…has no real knowledge of this or any other video game.
This review is so bad, uninformed, offensive and wrong that it’s hilarious.
Jimmy, were you dropped on your head as a child?
Thought I’d let everybody know, we had a sale at my store yesterday and anything with ‘Mario’ in the title sold out within the first hour of the store being open.
-Wraith
oh my…. this is such a freaking hilarious joke! It just gotta be. No one in this world can be so messed up in the head… PWNED is how gamers, me, spell it… It means, BEAT IN WAYS WHICH YOU CAN’T REVERSE. Example, a friend of mine is on the football team. They were PWNED all year… We LOST all but 2 games… PWNED doesn’t be killed or murdered, it means YOU LOST!!!! I am currently 15 years old… I am very bright, top of my high school. I do believe in Christaninty. Oh, and the ‘pentagram’ is nothing more than a figure. The symbol which you are talking about is an upside-down pentagram, A.K.A. the reverse pentagram… if you ask me… a ’star’ is a regular pentagram, not a reverse one… Idiot… and the little baby stars in the game eat STAR BITS, which are FOOD for them, idiot. Wario isn’t Mario’s brother, just an evil twin. Luigi is Mario’s brother. Super Mario Sunshine is from the year 2002… not 1991… what on Earth have you been smoking.. seriously.. that or your parent’s must of dropped you on your head THOUSANDS of times more than normal. Oh, and Bowser is a Dinosaur. Not a DEMON… So, if a demon comes out of the TV while I’m playing this game, I’ll be sure to let you know..
All of this from a kid who’s IQ is 218… And another little note to the idiot who did this topic… Just FUCK OFF! The world would be sooooo much better off without you.. thats for sure.. Oh and do your RESEARCH BEFORE EVER REVIEWING ANOTHER GAME AGAIN BITCH! Hope you have a nice day and burn in hell forever… ^_^ (thats a smile if you didn’t know.. yeah I’m being a smart ass, and I think GOD would be ok with that…)
“All of this from a kid who?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s IQ is 218?¢‚Ǩ¬¶”
Amazing how your IQ is exactly the same Minoru from Chobits…. Your article doens’t really show that huge amounts of intelligents considering that everything you said was already posted. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to sound rude, but that sounds souly like you just came here brag.
“Amazing how your IQ is exactly the same Minoru from Chobits”
–amazing that i happen to be watching chobits right now
this jimmy goddard and other str shit heads have their head so far up their ass it’s not even funny when it will ever stop with you str assholes. and funny how it is that i don’t see you downing dungens and dragons why do you always gotta go out of your way to make peoples lives a living hell? if your not downing video games then your downing music. if you don’t want your kids to play those games then don’t fucking buy them. it’s just that simple douche bags and quit trying to strip people of rights. cause it’s getting pretty damn old and pretty damn pathetic on your part str. i get so god damn tired of your bitching and whining about shit that you don’t think is proper. IT’S SIMPLE STR DON’T FUCKING BUY THE DAMN VIDEO GAMES IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR KIDS TO PLAY. OR ARE YOU TO DAMN STUPID TO REALIZE THAT. so shut up and quit your bitching. and i’m pretty damn sure the peeps on here have told you that to. so shut the up fuck up str you morons.
Holy fuck, how did I stumble upon the collaboration of the most batshit insane people on the internet? I didn’t know subhumans could use a liberal devil-machine such as the internet.

The father of the mario Franchise is MR. shigeru miyamoto. A japanese man who created the franchise, not the americans who , in your claims,first created a TV serie.
Those power stars are used to bring back LIghT to the overshadowed world.
to break evil curses, how is something against EVIL satanic?….
and his brothers name is LUIGI.
if you are going to talk about how evil this game is first do your research.
and sunshine was made begin 2000 not begin 90’s.
” in fact astute readers will notice that it shares exactly the same plot!”
yet you want your kids to play MADDEN, where no story is involved at all, i guess they are fat too since you dont let them sport outside…SOB.
“red igloo”
HAHAHAHHAA
its a koopa SHELL.
next to that MADDEN = more aggressive then mario galaxy, the characters are cute where madden tries to be realistic and agressivly using body force to slame one down.
Mario isnt treaching you anything it took the Physic understanding way out of context.
its simple fun where the story is SIMPLE because they focuss on gameplay.
you are sad and pathetic if you dont even know the history of an subject you disagree with then dont even bother, your ignorance is just wat out of normal radius.
WARIO ….mario’s brother?
hell if you know when the series was founded you would atleast know the correct names….
if galaxy makes you a killer, then your words killed many vergin souls.
VIRGIN* XD
Yeah, I just want to point out that the internet was invented by Al Gore. He is a liberal. In other words, get the fuck off of it. Thank you and have a nice day.
A “red igloo”?!? u cant get any stupider!
that “red igloo” is a red shell from mario and the kid is dropping the gameboy out of shock not throwing it.
she’s either retarded or a sarcastic genius.
If you think this is aginst god wishes were in the bible did he say do not play video games
All this site is nothing but what god hates I move to have this site shut down once and for all if you are with me send me a Email at ryuken112784yahoo.com
I am sure we can set up a site that will end up shuting this one down
Next you will say Yugioh is aginst Gods wishes Last i looked No were did god say you can not play this or that so stop with this bull shit about ti being aginst god and start readinf the real bible not the one you all made up that out laws life its self
@Funken Rep you have my support all the way dude
Get your fucking facts straight!
Alright,i’m in a hurry but let me just throw all the fuck-ups you made in this article back into your face.
1.”somewhat popular game in Japan”It was incredibly popular all over the world,dumbass
2.Super Mario Sunshine was released in 2002
3.those are fucking stars,jackass!you know the things up in the sky at night?Yah!
And there are countless other mistakes that I can’t go over right now because I gotta pick up my girlfriend to go see Hellboy 2 with.Before I go,I will admit that somebody must’ve been pretty high when Mario was conceived.Think about it,you get mushrooms to get health.
See yah,fuckas
Why are articles about a German who is sick of Germans painting the German flag on their boobs and Mario Brothers under the fetish link? Just curious.
