New episode! First time delving into this spinoff series! Come and see whether I like it or not!

Tekken in general is just not for me. I remember trying Tekken 3 back in the day and thinking it was okay but just too hard for me. 5/10

Newest episode is here! But i've skipped posting a few episodes since I didnt want to spam the channel here. Go check em out!

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Easily top 10, probably top 5, maybe even top 3. It feels like 2D platforming perfected. Hard for me to come up with a game with better level designs plus a masterpiece soundtrack and amazingly fluid gameplay. It's not just nostalgia talking either, truly holds up ridiculously well today. Even the graphics still look fantastic. 10/10 and if I give it more I would.

My mom made me eat beets. As a kid I hated them. As an adult I like them. Still, no kid should be forced to eat them. I'm still not even sure what kind of food they go with. 

I love it especially Bowser's Fury. 9/10 for both. Not masterpieces but highly enjoyable and pretty underrated for a Mario title.

I watched this, otherwise I would be in.  I don't know enough about SNL.

I've watched both and I always thought In Living Color was infinitely funnier than SNL. 

New episode is up!

New video is up! This game is one I've wanted to play for years but just never got around to it. Glad I finally got to try it!

New episode is up! A little known game for Game Boy called Tail Gator!

I love this game to death, in my top 3 racing games of all time. My favorite in the series. Still kicks my ass because it's so hard but I love it! 10/10

Phil Collins over RHCP people, really? 

How dare you make me choose between Green Day and Nirvana.

New episode is up. First time playing Fester's Quest. Really had zero expectations for this game. 

I think it's good but not amazing, just like every FE game. It's fun, but the story for all of them are borderline cringeworthy bad. Overall this is a solid title though. 7/10

New video is up!

Level 1-1, I believe.

I think it's the first doors you go into. You go up a vine and then you can choose to go left or right. Right is the normal way, but left leads you to a tall wall. You have to super jump up to the left in order to reach the secret. Toad can't reach up there....???

If I'm wrong, then I need to apologize profusely to Toad. 

Yup you definitely can reach it with Toad. I did it in my video

Well... as a child, if it wasn't a Mario game I'm not sure if I would have liked it as much, or known about it? The library for us wasn't super expanse and there were 3 Mario games. Out of like 10 total. 

But I get what you're saying... 

Yeah I meant today it would be known as a hidden gem, a very obscure but good title. But back in the 80s no one would've probably played it. Mario or not, it's still one of my favorite games.

Right on. I'm a Luigi/Princess and Toad for World 2 type person. 

But Toad though... Can't jump so because you can't even get the first secret with him I don't bother much.... at least.... the one I'm thinking of? If I recall he can't even super jump high enough to get to where you need to throw some bombs..... so yeah... for that. Seeya Toad!

The shortcut in level 1? Or one in world 2?

The hell is going on here???

Nobody @'d us @docile tapeworm 

Obviously SMB2USA is one that tops the list.

But this does beg the question.... would SMB2USA been as good with DIFFERENT characters????

Yes if the gameplay is the same it wouldn't matter. But it wouldn't be remembered like it is now. At best it probably would've been featured in some "hidden gems" videos on YT.

What are some games that you think shouldn't have been included in a series?

The two that initially came to mind were Super Mario Land 3 & Super Mario World 2.

They do belong in a series, just not the ones they were originally named. Yoshi and Wario each have their own series. But I knew what you meant.

I voted on this before looking at the cover. For some reason I thought this was the SNES one. I never played this one actually. But I enjoy the original Tecmo Bowl and the SNES Tecmo Bowls. I gave it an 8 despite not having played it.

Nice!

A brave soul for using Toad on the headless flying carpet thingy.  Genuinely never once considered using Toad there. So neat to see a different play-through. 

Lol thanks. I've always used Toad for this game.
