This time the weird decision is them counting NSMBU and NSMBU Deluxe as separate titles (and Bowser's Fury as its own game). But at least Mario Maker 3DS is gone and the the Mario Land games are counted as they sometimes haven't been. But also RIP Yoshi's Island and Wario Land as main series titles.

Super Mario Moment @supermariomoment.bsky.social · 6d

In some episodes I have introduced game by saying it is the "x entry in main series" but also spoken about the various discrepancies because Nintendo loves to change what they count and what they don't.

A new 40th anniversary booklet has been revealed with a whole new list so here we go.

A Japanese booklet detailing the main line Super Mario Bros series.

I own this book as part of my pretty robust collection of strange Mario books. I'd love to do an episode just focussing on all of them.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

Mama Mia! Today marks 40 whole years since the release of Super Mario Bros. on the Famicom. I would not be the creative I am today without these heroic plumbers and their uniquely strange little mushroom world.

Let's-a go for 40 more years! 🍄🐢🍰

Happy Birthday Super Mario Bros! Even if you're secretly a little older than you're letting on.

Talking about this series with all my guests so far as been a dream and I can't wait to cover everything from this milestone year in the episodes to come!

How are you celebrating?

In honor of the 40th anniversary, my anecdote from the EGM issue #200 cover feature “Top 200 Games of Their Time” on Super Mario Bros. — which, of course, ranked #1.

Shout out to Scott Dunn for turning me on to the crazy new game he played at Godfather’s Pizza in Brentwood
