Super Mario Moment

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! You can listen to the wonderful Still Loading podcast here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://www.stillloadingpodcast.com/about Super Mario Moment is a proud member of the Glitterjaw Queer Podcasting network. https://www.glitterjaw.com https://www.glitterjaw.com/super-mario-moment This episode can also be enjoyed in video-form on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/xeXU7BdtQUsSuper 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. 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.

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.
