Mario Golf – N64
Mario Golf is a simplistic game that delivers exactly what it advertises: Mario playing golf. Basic controls and a laid back atmosphere make for a relaxing experience, but lack of plot or further substance cause boredom to fester after an hour or two. Manage your expectations.

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.

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.

Mario’s Picross – Game Boy
Nerd Bacon’s resident reptile with a PhD decides to join archeologist Mario on a dig in Mario’s Picross for the Game Boy!

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.

Mario Party 10 – Wii U
And the party rages on with Mario Party 10 for the Wii U, the 14th installment of the series overall. With a total of 3 different modes to party on with, it’s one of the most appealing entries in the series to date.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 – DS
For the Mario anniversary, I’ll be reviewing a basketball game. With my weird review choices, I can’t really say I should be surprised, and neither should you. The fact that Square Enix developed this game does make it a curiosity though…

Mario’s Time Machine – SNES
Mario’s Time Machine, another commonly derided title from Mario’s line of educational games, is a surprisingly honest trip through certain pieces of history. It’s still got that “edutainment” flair that keeps it from entering the pantheon of “real” games, though the experience is more enjoyable than you might think!

Mario is Missing! – SNES
Mario is Missing!, one of a handful of educational Mario games released in the early 90’s, features Luigi as the main protagonist for the first time in the series. It may not be much of a “game,” but if you’re in the fourth or fifth grade and need to learn a few things about history and geography, there are certainly worse ways to go about it!

Super Princess Peach – DS
Super Princess Peach features our favorite damsel in distress in her first – and so far only – starring role. It may not be the next Luigi’s Mansion or Yoshi’s Island, but Super Princess Peach is endearing and enjoyable in its own way.

Super Blocky Ball by Maelstronomer
Justicescooby’s local resident Robloxian plays Maelstronomer’s “Super Blocky Ball” to let you know if it’s any good in this first Nerd Bacon ROBLOX review! Super Blocky Ball immediately caught Justicescooby’s eye due to his love of familiar games, but are they actually alike?

Mario’s Tennis – Virtual Boy
Mario’s Tennis is often overlooked and unfairly tossed aside due to the overwhelming and awkward life surrounding Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. Migraines and broken necks aside, if you can suck up the pain for a short while, you’ll be in for a decent treat.

Mario Tennis – Nintendo 64
Do you like Mario? Do you like Tennis? You probably don’t even need to read this review if you answered yes to both questions. Unless, of course, you really enjoy reading articles written by ZB. It’s Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64!
