Hey Paisanos! We have finally come to the end of DiC's time as masters of the Mario license with the New Super Mario World! And of course, we had to check out the show's final episode, the infamous "Mama Luigi". We also take a look at Captain N which aired in the same programming block, with a look at the episode "Invasion of the Paper Pederlars". Joining us to talk all things Yoshi, Oogtar and Magnum Bill, is the delightful Cass Proffitt from Distant Echoes, a Star Wars podcast focussing on the many episodes of tv from a galaxy far, far away... https://bsky.app/profile/gonkbinary.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/distantechoespod.bsky.social You can find out more about Distant Echoes and all the shows on the Glitterjaw network here: https://www.glitterjaw.com/distant-echoes This episode can be watched on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/xk5Nmf8IPEQOur RSS feed is here: https://media.rss.com/super-mario-moment/feed.xml Super Mario Moment can also be found on BlueSky at https://bsky.app/profile/supermariomoment.bsky.social and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/supermariomoment/ Support me financially on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/hamishsteele In this episode we also discuss the Mama Luigi Reanimated Project which can be watched in full here: https://youtu.be/liqrfUYsOtA?si=07wNKDSoVzRkxFgH Our opening theme is Supermario USA feat.

Hey Paisanos!And girl you know it's true! On today's episode we are back in the world of DiC as we finally make it out of 1989 and tackle The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.And of course we had to cover the most infamous episode of the entire Mario animation run, "Kootie-Pie Rocks" aka the episode starring disgraced, lip-sync, dance duo Milli Vanilli. But are they the real villains of the story, or just another victim of the music industry. We also discuss the episode originally paired with this one, "Do the Koopa" and discuss the adaptational choices they made with a whole new game to work with.

Super Mario Galaxy was perhaps the obvious choice for inspiration for the next Mario movie - from it's emotive backstories, cinematic score and awe-inspiring moments, it really feels like it belongs on the big screen with the best Science Fiction epics and Space Operas.But how does it achieve this feeling? And does it hold us as one of the best games of all time? On today's episode, I chat with Jayce about why this game means so much to them as I'm sure it does to all my viewers.You can follow Jayce for more movie and media opinions over on BlueSky, X and Letterboxd :https://bsky.app/profile/jayceb.bsky.socialhttps://x.com/jblacksomethinghttps://letterboxd.com/jayceb/Super Mario Moment is a proud member of the Glitterjaw Queer Podcasting network.https://www.glitterjaw.comhttps://www.glitterjaw.com/super-mario-momentYou can also watch Super Mario Moment as a video-podcast on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvDuuZgao-oOur RSS feed is here: https://media.rss.com/super-mario-moment/feed.xmlSuper Mario Moment can also be found on BlueSky at https://bsky.app/profile/supermariomoment.bsky.social and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/supermariomoment/Support me financially on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/hamishsteeleOur opening them is Supermario Brothers feat.

It feels strange to call one of the most beloved Mario games of all time "underrated" but sandwiched between the beloved Mario RPG and Thousand-Year Door, the original N64 Paper Mario can sometimes feel like it is. But does this game have its own special something? On today's episode, I chat with Josh Covel from the Still Loading podcast all about this cozy, quirky classic!

Super Mario Bros. 3 was the original GTA 6. Delayed for years in the West, the long-awaited TRUE sequel to Mario Bros. came with it's own cartoon series, comics, Happy Meal toys and live-action promotional movie - so when the game finally came out, it sure was lucky that it was one of the best of all time. On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat World Maps, Frog Suits and Koopalings with the co-host of the often mentioned Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge and Distant Echoes - Tommy Proffitt! You can find both shows over on the Glitterjaw website, which Super Mario Moment is also a proud part of: https://www.glitterjaw.com https://www.glitterjaw.com/super-mario-moment You can also watch Super Mario Moment on YouTube by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoaFlGsyOXoSuper Mario Moment can also be found on BlueSky at https://bsky.app/profile/supermariomoment.bsky.social and Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/supermariomoment/ Support me financially on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/hamishsteele Our opening them is Supermario Brothers feat.

Super Mario Bros 2 is the black sheep of the original Mario platformers - the weird one, the one that's different, the one that's not really a Mario game. But could this be why it has such a special place in the hearts of queer fans? On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat Mario's dreamscape, Peach's floating and Birdo's gender identity with podcaster and essayist Drew Mackie! Drew is the man behind Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games, a video game blog with a difference! He writes incredible essays about queerness, gaming and the type of deep dives we love on this show.

Did you know that six years before Super Smash Bros, there was a fighting game bringing together various Mario characters for an all-out brawl to the death!? If you didn't, you are forgiven for not knowing about the bizarre, Chinese bootleg fan game KART FIGHTER - infamous to some as the worst fighting game of all time, beloved by others for being that Street Fighter mashup of our dreams. And I'll be chatting about this crossover with Chris Osborne, the host of the fantastic Play Comics which dives into the entire history of video-games inspired by comic books. I was recently a guest discussing Astro Boy: Omega Factor for the GBA and other Glitterjaw crew have featured on it too!

Today we're going back to the (almost) start as we head to the arcade for Mario Bros. No, not "Super" Mario Bros. - but the crab-kicking, fly-swatting original arcade adventure which introduced us to pipes, coins and a certain green-capped brother!

What was your favourite game of 2008? Was it Mario Kart Wii? Smash Bros Brawl? Perhaps GTA IV? Buried among those classics was the little-played Wario Land: Shake It! which brought back the treasure-hunting, garlic-chomping version of everyone's favourite antihero coupled with new motion controls, an incredible hand-drawn art style and even fan-favourite Captain Syrup. Seems like a slam dunk - so why is it that this platforming classic doesn't seem to be as fondly remembered as everything else on the best selling console of the era? And joining me today is Russ Moran from the Kaiju ComicCast, who loves a villain because he would never dream of being one. You can check out KaijuComicCast on all you podcasting apps and give them a follow on Instagram and Bluesky!
