“It really is a happenin’ May... Mario Party 3 and E3 in the same month!”
| TOPIC FOR MAY: “Mario Party 3 debuts this month. Speaking of parties, what is your favorite game (video game or otherwise) to play at a party and why?” |
|
| MY REPLY: “My favorite party game has got to be Twister. You never know what's going to happen next, and it's different every single time you play it!” |
MIKE'S REPLY: “I'd say that my favorite party game would be Super Smash Brothers. Not only is it liked by a large age range, it's bound to have a character to appeal to you. Also, anyone can pick it up and be pretty good at it.” |
Read Top>Bottom, Left>Right.
First (and second) up is from GameSage126:
| i just read the "9 things every mario fan should now" and nuber one states mario is not alive, i know there is no itailian pluber traveling through pipes out there, but from donky kong u play as jumpman which you know was later named mario. however my piont is the mario was named and made after the creators land lord, just a fact that i though u mite want to know |
| Dave: El numero uno: I don't know how I understood that through all the spelling. Numero dos: You're partially right. Mario was actually the Italian owner of a warehouse for Nintendo (if I remember correctly, but you know me and memory, Steve...). You see, they honor a warehouse owner with his name being immortalized in games and now they have to give him a so-phony-you-could-smell-it-100-miles-away accent. Incredible! If you want to read the whole story that KYLE wrote, look here. |
Mike: Yeah... so what if they named Mario after a landlord? It means nothing. I could name the next big video game character after, say, Jay Resop but that wouldn't mean that that character lived. In short, video game characters are not, and will never be, alive. And I don't care if they're based on a movie or vice versa. They're not alive. They are polygons and pixels! If they were alive, Link would respond to me when I yelled at him for getting hit. If they were alive, Spider-Man would think twice about falling to his death above New York. If they were alive, Mega Man would shoot faster. Also, the enemies would run and hide because I usually yell battle cries while playing games. Thank you. |
| Steve: I can barely read that, but I have an
injury to my eye (on 5/3/01). Mewtwo: (clears throat) Steve: This only proves that fighting is wrong. Sheesh. Dave: This includes "human vs pokémon" and "human vs human" fights. |
| i just read something of your at myvidoegames.com and you siad that Mario fans always need some kind of complete backround story for all the games yet when you talk about Mario kart you demand to know why all these characters got to gether and started racing go-karts. read over the stuff you type |
| Dave: BE QUIET BECAUSE I AM NOT KYLE! And, since I'm in an "Anne Robinson" mood... GameSage, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye! Now take that walk of shame. |
Steve: Besides, Kyle wrote that. Mewtwo: So if you've got a problem, bother him. Steve: Hey, why were they driving go-carts? Mewtwo: They get better milage than Ford Explorers. |
| Mike: If you're trying to report a mistake, one of ours or not, please use spell check. If you don't it makes your point kind of stupid. I mean, you spelled "said" and "together" wrong. Or maybe I should report it to one of your parents. It would basically be doing what you did. |
Alejandro is pondering the million-dollar scene:
| Hi, Im a kinda fan of SMB3, I specially like the images and how its easily broken down into bits, like a lot of little squares. I have the game in my computer and I can easily capture a screen shot (maybe Ill donate some later), and so far ive printed Mario in all the positions posibble and all the diferent costumes, you know raccon, frog, hammer, etc. I put them in the wall of my room stairs so it seems that a game is in progress until the end of the stairs where I put the death image. Now I want to make a giant sized game scene, every bit corresponding to a half squere centimeter. But, I really dont know what scene to do. Im dobting from a scene of the map, or the first stage first scene, things like that. Since you seemto be an expert helpme out. Gotta go. |
| Dave: Alex... You don't ever tell me that you have ROMs. You just don't. I also intend on how you will find a half square centimeter, since that would make a side's length one-half the square root of 2 exactly. (j/k) Anyway... the million-dollar scene would probably be Mario ducking as Bowser falls to his death. If this is for a contest and you win, I should get part of it since it was my idea. BTW, if you can send me a pic of your wall when you're done, I'll put it up. Really! |
Steve: Why would someone have cardboard in their computer?
(Dave smacks Steve on the back of the head) Mewtwo: Beats me. (Dave smacks Steve again) |
| Mike: Not to be mean or anything, but you kind of have too much time on your hands. But, I would also like to see your wall. I admire stuff like that, because I lack patience. |
M/M Chrappa wondering probably the last possible thing on any sane fan's mind:
| My question is why hasn't there been a 2nd Mario movie yet. I mean the movie was awsome! I have a good scrypt. Dave could you give this e-mail to Mr. Miyamoto. P.S. Great job on inventing Jumpman/Mario. (partial script followed, edited for time and intellectial copyright laws) |
| Dave: My question is why you haven't figured out we're not Nintendo. You could e-mail the finished script to Nintendo, but they won't even look at it... plus, it would crash their server. Besides, the first one was a flop. I'm wondering why you think a sequel would do better. My vote goes to the fact that if Nintendo decides to make another Mario movie, it will be computer-animated and more true to the games. |
Steve: A second Mario Movie? (Faints) Mewtwo: I'll have to agree with Steve on this on this one. (Faints) Dave: What the hey. (Faints, takes the bag down with him) OW! Kyle (just walking in): Mabye we shoulda gotten that leak fixed... |
| Mike: The first movie was good, but so many people hated it that it flopped. And if they ever do make a second one, it should be computer-animated. And they shouldn't turn Toad into a Goomba. |
Brenda is thinking... and then a gust of wind catches her brain:
| how do you win the 70 mini games (Subject: Mario Party 3) |
| Dave: How can I know? I don't have Party 3! I'm biding my time until my birthday which is in... oh... July. |
Steve: Ever heard of practice? |
| Mike: You have to play the game. And play it well. You also have to do every last thing you can. Everything. You also have to own the game. Or at least rent or borrow it. That answer your question? |
Mewtwo: You don't really expect solutions for all 70, do you? |
BSMario81 submits something merely for its humorous value... to us, anyway:
|
You can submit up to ten questions. If you have
more just use the form a few times. Yes/No questions only, and they should
be phrased so "yes" means you're a fan. Keep the questions
tasteful, and make them suitably hard, so that only true fans can answer
"yes" Your name: Sean Question #1 The question: Have you ever dressed up as Mario(with the hat too) for no other reason than to look like mario Question #2 The question: Have you tried growing a mustache to look more convincing Question #3 The question: Do you have heated discussions with people about which Mario Brother is better(Mario, of course) Question #4 The question: Do you and a friend refer to each other to Mario and Luigi on a regular basis |
| Dave: Attention K-Mart shoppers! There is a Blue Light Special on IQ points. I'm not saying these are good IQ points, but they are IQ points. BTW, Kyle is aware there is no submit button. (15 May) |
Steve: We've got plenty of IQ points already. Mewtwo: Just point us towards the sanity. G.W. Bush: Could I get some of those points? Steve and Mewtwo: You again! Bush: Uh-oh! (knocked over by Steve and Mewtwo) Dave: Geez, where is the Secret Service? Agent Bob: It's not that we're not here, Dave, we just don't care. |
| Mike: Luigi is better inmost aspects... and those are some quality IQ points. |
Seen in a classified ad (not really): "F Mario fan ISO books"...
| hi im a big mario fan but somthings been buging me lately. I love the mario adventure books but i only have 2. ive read them so much that i dont want to read them anymore i really want koopa capers your friend said to go to ebay but i couldnt find it is there any other place i could go to. oh by the way my name is melody email me at ninetails34@hotmail.com. please answer as soon as possible |
| Dave: I would suggest trying some other auction sites. I know there's many other than eBay. Also, you might want to take a look at Switchouse. I was able to find a Game Genie on there, and I got it for free because my partner didn't cash the check I sent them. ^_^ |
Steve: If you think this letter is interesting, turn to page 34. |
| Mike: I would also suggest putting an alert on Ebay. They get new items in all the time. |
Mewtwo: If you don't think this letter is interesting, turn to page 57. |
The other ZeroStriker asks:
| Dear Jay Resop and Kyle, I have come to ask you for your permission to use your characters. I am working with your other comic maker, Zero Striker(real name is Chris). I might have spelled it wrong, but we were planning to make a N.I.Q.G 2001 gameshow(Nintendo I.Q. Geniuses 2001 game show) We lots in store so we hope you can accept our permision to make the comics with your characters. |
| Dave: Only Kyle and Jay? What about me, Mewtwo and Mike? We have feelings, too! |
Steve: Well, I do, anyway. Mewtwo: I resent that! Dave: You are forgetting that I didn't mention you, Steve. |
| Mike: I've used Jay's characters in my comics. They're on my website, which recently died and was ressurected as a new site. And why does no one ask me to put my characters in their comics? Are [the characters] that bad? |
The Jackal Lord pays us a visit:
| I am the Jackal Lord, a crazy guy who sends Jay stuff (you can ask him). Personally, my favorite game to play at parties is SSB. I like beating the **** out of Freackachu and Jiggly**** as Luigi. (No offense Steve, but they're freaking annoying.) |
| Dave: I can only say one thing: AMEN, BROTHER HERBERT! (silence) "Amen Brother Herbert" is the name of a theme regularly heard on The Price is Right... it's supposed to be a joke... (laughs nervously) ****. |
Steve: I play... |
| Mike: HA HA HA HA!!! GOOD ONE, DAVE! I also like to beat the crap out of Jigglypuff. I can stand Pikachu... and I do it as Ness. |
Mewtwo: You don't go to parties, Steve. |
Erica is a big cartoon fanatic:
| Hey there Dave! This is Erica Hahn, and I'm 20 years old from Pennsylvania. Back in the day I was a HUGE Mario fan! I watched SMBSS, Mario 3, and SMW when they were on TV. After they were all cancelled, I was sad that I couldn't watch them anymore. That was way back in 1991, right? I was only 10! Now, 10 years later, I had to know if anyone on the web had a page dedicated to Mario and his killer cartoons. So, I went to yahoo.com and typed in the search box "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" and BINGO! Your page showed up along with maybe 2 others. I clicked on your page and was totally impressed! It had all the info and then some! Out of the 52 (I originally thought there was only 50) episodes of SMBSS, I've seen or at least remember a few tidbits of about 49 of them. There are maybe 3 or 4 that I cant remember at all, just because it's been so long since they've been on TV! There's one question I have about the show. First I wanna say that I'm sure everyone loved Lou Albano and Danny Wells doing their little renditions in the beginning of the show. I still remember that title song! It was pretty funny for a 9-year-old in my opinion! Anyway, here's the question: Whenever the cartoon starts, they show the title and producers and whoever are important. After that, Mario says "Plumber's Log Number." whatever it is. Do you have anywhere on the page with the Plumber's Log numbers? Or do you know anyone who has that info? Back about 6 or 7 years ago or whatever I did have that info but I threw it away cuz I thought I would never use it again! Now I wish I 'd kept it! I do have a few of them, just out of memory. If you want to start a page within the SMBSS section, I'll gladly help you with it! The ones I remember are: Bad Rap #224 BMX Race #25 Stars In Their Eyes #2001? Or was that Star Koopa? I still wish I 'd kept that info! That makes me mad that I threw it away. Any help from your staff would be greatly appreciated. Well, that's it for this email. I'm looking forward to your reply and maybe even improve your killer site! I have no idea how to make a webpage, but I am taking internet classes and HTML stuff in college so maybe in the long run I will have my own page someday! Adios amigos! |
| Dave: I'm glad you think highly of Adam's cartoon section! Everyone here has put in countless hours to provide the highest quality information possible, not to mention originality. And while some of us are just plain demented... (cough) Jay Resop (cough) ...that just adds to our warped sense of humor found everywhere on the site... Mewtwo, get away from that psychic enhancement device! It is hard and tiring work to mantain a site as large as this, even with a team this size. Thanks to people like you, we remember who our fans are and how much they love Mario. I would also like to thank Deezer at Mushroom Kingdom, since he was really the one who inspired me to go tackle the web. Here I am, Internet! |
Steve: I've noticed that there are some special log numbers. They once used 1989. Really, though, they're just based on the time period. |
| Mewtwo: I just wish the princess had a better voice actor. |
|
| Mike: And then there are people like me who make sites to house some inner desire to be known. And to vent creative juices. I'm sorry I can't help with the SMBSS thing... I watched the show five times. I usually watched "Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers" and they were on at the same time. |
<best Anne Robinson impression> CJ's traffic light is stuck on green from all sides. 'Tis a shame. </Anne Robinson>
| Alright, I beat Paper Mario a few days ago and I( I am not usually giving) would like to give info to you about the game. |
| Dave: Um... that would be up to KYLE, not ME. You can give me all the information you want, I'll just delete it. |
Steve: What took you so long? Mewtwo: You haven't beaten it. What's your excuse? Steve: I don't own it. Dave: Ditto. |
| Mike: I'll take your info... I have no idea what I'd do with it, but I would take it. |
| Hey! Don't you guys think smbhq needs another update! I'm not trying to be rude but your website is sorta dropping in the charts! So updating might bring your scores up! Well seeya! |
| Dave: Hmmm... how shall we torture this one? A ride on the turntable in Dizzy Dancing? Possibly any one of the duel games from any Mario Party game? Hmmm... the possibilities are endless. |
Steve: Just make them watch C-SPAN. Mewtwo: Sounds about right. Dave: I got it! The super-top-secret audition tapes of a certain "W" for Extreme Gong! |
| Mike: *In a weird accent* I think we should chain him to the wall and make him play "Mario is Missing!" boss! |
This is rather disturbing:
| this isnt a question this is just a complaiment on the website. GREAT JOB!!!. in fact i go to it way to much. wanna hear somthing funny well i was really tierd yesterday and id been on this website all day.

| Dave: Dude... lay off the Ritalin and get a life! |
Steve: Actually, if he's genuinely ADD/ADHD, you'd want him
to take his ritalin. Dave: At least reduce the dosage! |
| Mike: Either the ritalin or the caffiene... Jeez. And don't eat those mushrooms in the backyard before bed anymore. Kay? |
Mewtwo: I wouldn't mess with him, Dave. His mom may be a music teacher, but she's got a masters in social work. |
Vinnie's a few fries – and a hamburger – short of a Happy Meal:
| Hi, I've tried to make my own sprite sheets using grid
paper and playing Mario All-Stars, Super Mario 3, It hasn't peen too
succesful. Anyway, I stumbled onto your sprite sheet page and was delighted to see your selections of Super Mario 3 sheets. Thanx I was wondering. Could make or get an item sheet for Mario 3 also? With a Luigi page too...? If you could...Thanx If you cannot....thanx anyway |
| Dave: I think almost anyone can make an item sheet, don't you? As for the Luigi sprites, just change the red to green. That's all. |
Steve: I think that's one of those 2 for one clothing deals. |
| Mike: Sprite sheets are very easy to make. As long as you have all the right stuff and know where you want everything, it takes a matter of minutes. Of course, if you have no idea where everything you need is it could take days. | Mewtwo: So, you don't want me in the Mailbag Dave?* |
*(He's just miffed because I'm going to have a co-host other than he for the next Bag.)
From the Dutch of the Netherlands, namely Lily:
| Hi, My name is Lili i am coming from Holland i am 21 years old. I have downloaded the snes rom Mario allstars.Nice games in the package. BUT...i am playing mario 3 for a few days and i have problems with the airship in world 3.I just cannot get past a high yeah how can i name it?From the beginning i am doing allright i've got past the bombs.At this point my english is'n't very good!!! (i have noticed).at a certain point i have to jump high to get to the other side, i have jumped high with the turbobutton but everytime i get stuck and the game is over,can you give me a walktrough how i can past that high ''obstacle"??sorry my Dutch is better!!everytime i complete the levels in world 3, but sadly enough i have to go to the Castle and from there i have to go on a ship the koopa airship. PLEASE HELP ME!! I hope you understand my bad English!!! |
| Dave: Ah, yes. That airship course can be troublesome, especially with its very quick autoscroll. You see, I never leave home without the right cheat device for the right system. (Shameless plug: if you're using the one from zSNES.com, you've got the best!) Some codes that I recommend here: DDAF-A8A3 – Fly at any time (run meter always full) EEA4-AB63 – You can fly for as long as you want, until you land --OR-- DDA9-A603 – Keep going up until you release the jump button I am a definite fan of the skywalking code (DDA9-A603). Needless Note: Mario Mailbag and all those directly affiliated within do not accept lawyers notes about anything we say here... but since those are official Genie codes, there shouldn't be any problem. ;-) |
Steve: I'm just wondering what happens to the airship at the end? Does Mario teleport out? Blow it up? |
| Mewtwo: And waste perfectly good firewood? |
|
| Mike:
If you have a whistle, you can use that to clear the whole third
world... (Uh, Mike... that's not what she was talking about.) |
Lastly, from andrew reagan. Hmmm... any relation?
| Could you tell me all about bowser, when you fight him, like his HP and stuff? Thanks. |
| Dave: There are two Bowser battles: 1. HP - 75 Attack - 3-16 Defense - 1 2. HP - 99 Attack - 3-16 Defense - 1 There. I only got as far as Star Way before I had to return it. |
Steve: I just can't come up with a joke here. |
| Mewtwo: Hopefully this will continue. |
|
| Mike: Bowser is a big turtle-dragon who hails from the Mushroom Kingdom. You fight him at the end of most Mario games. His HP is three bonks on the head with various objects, more if he's in his Clown-copter. |
