Super Mario Land – Game Boy
We’ve been covering a lot of Wario lately, haven’t we? From his very first appearance in Super Mario Land 2 to Wario Land 4, and counting. But there’s something missing. A piece that hasn’t been covered yet. With mounting pressure to review sequels back in August, Nerd Bacon’s ZB skipped over the first Mario Land in favor of Super Mario Land 2. Now it’s time to finally tackle a game he’s been anxious to work on since before Nerd Bacon celebrated its two-year anniversary. That’s right folks, it’s Super Mario Land for Game Boy.

Nerd Bacon straps on their backpack and hiking boots, and scampers along with Captain Toad in this Wii U adventure. Can we collect all the Power Stars? Or does Toad get squashed into a million mushroom pieces?

Paper Mario – Nintendo 64
Imagine that one day you were suddenly turned into a piece of paper and you had to go on a quest to save your kidnapped girlfriend. Does that sound interesting to you? If your answer was no, then I agree with you, yet somehow Intelligent Systems made it interesting with their release of Paper Mario.

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival – Wii U
Animal Crossing takes a cue from the Mario Party series with its board game setup and also attempts to give us a good reason to use Amiibo within games. Is it successful? Maybe. Check out my take on Nintendo’s most Amiibo-intensive game so far, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival!

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! – GameCube
A few months ago I managed to review Mario Kart 64 while trying to keep all nostalgia off my mind, and today I am going to do the same by re-visiting Mario Kart: Double Dash!! This title adds quite a bit to the Mario Kart series, so much so that I don’t really know where to begin.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – SNES
Super Mario RPG could’ve turned out so wrong, but the result is so right. With an ingenious blend of classical Mario and RPG elements, this game delivers on all fronts with an awesome story, characters, gameplay, music and graphics. A must play.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash – Wii U
Mario’s ventures into the world of tennis have always been one of his more well-respected spin-offs, so it would make sense to expect great things with the release of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for the Wii U. However, while the game looks beautiful, it’s criminally shy of engaging content.
