FOR THE DATE OF November 9, 2002  Kool Kid Joe  Little blue buzzer thingy   Wanted Kool Kid Joe For attempting to take over Nintendo countless times, for not being able to run a website for long without changing intrests, and for extreme ranting. Reward:10,000 Smash-bucks

In the newest video-game-based cartoon show "Kirby: Right Back At Ya!" on Foxbox, on episode 3, when King Dedede found out that Kirby couldn't use a sword, he sent out a Bugzzy! Fred the Spanyard was a Bugzzy! Fred the Spanyard is a Neglected Character! So, would that show be Neglected too, since a Bugzzy was in it? P.S., don't tell Jay Resop about Fred in a cartoon series. I already told him. Note: This is from a different e-mail by the same guy I was wearing an SMBHQ shirt to school, but when my friends saw me wearing it, they wanted to see the website! Now I was popular at school! THANKS! - Bob Jindra

Fred on TV?! (runs over to TV, switches on FOX) Well, I'm glad that both you and Fred are earning populatrity. GO BUGZY! (Oh, and the show Neglected? Ummm.... ASK JAY!)

Just wondering if you know anyone that has a Yoshi Halloween Costume. My 4 yr old is already an addict and desperately wants to be Yoshi for Halloween. Thanks!!! Tina

Ahhh, yes. My first video game Haloween costume was Sonic the Hedgehog... But seriously, I bet they do, but I think if you can sew, than you should make a costume... wait a sec, Halloween was weeks ago!

dear smbq do any other mario beanie babies (other than the winged hat one)exist(and do you have it) cause I already have that one - Paul Skaggs

Yes, as an offer from Nintendo Power, Mario can now come as a plush toy with a non-working FLUDD on his back. I think there is also a non-winged version of the original Mario 'beanie baby'. Oh, and I think our store shut down, so we do not 'have' any of them.

I am wondering if there ever were 3-4" tall plastic toy figures of Mario and the Princess (of any incarnation!) and if so, does anyone out there have any they want to get rid of? We want them for the top of a wedding cake! Thanks! - Veronica

Mario and Peach on your wedding cake like in the end of SM64? Humorous, and I think there might be some figures for you. Check eBay, Amazon.com, and Nintendo's store

I would like to purchase the Super Mario 3 for the Nintendo SNES. I am having a bit of a time finding it and I really would like to get it. Could you please tell me where I can find SM 3 for SNES?? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Tracey Buroker

The original? That was for the original NES (if that's what you are talking about). You can get all three Super Mario Bros. game that were on the NES on one cartridge for the SNES along with the 'Lost Levels' from Japan. The cart is titled "Super Mario All-Stars"

I need an answer to a question that has been keeping me guessing for years. My uncle was playing smb3 and he said there was a special world nine other than the warp zone. I didnt believe him until I found out that my friend had gotten there too. Somehow you would press certain buttons when bowser falls at the end and you warp to another world. Is this real? - Ps2brain02

I've never played SMB3, but It's probbably some kind of glitch. Check out the VGF Forums and ask around.

Thanks again for the answers. By the way, the Japanese Mario Party my uncle gave me and I'll give back to him and Meligeni is a Brazilian tennis player. I didn't believe that the question arrived at Lucia's birthday. My favorite game is Super Mario bros. 2 and 3, I like them the most because in SMB2, I always choose Toad. I hope I'll win Paper Mario for Christmas if my fingernails grow. And I made a special present for Lucia: [if you don't know who she is, she is my school friend who likes Mario and her favorite game is Mario Party 3.] A picture of DK, Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi giving her a happy birthday. Think she'll like it? Annie B says to hope to see you again here at Mario Land. Just kidding.

I think she'll love it.

Have been sent on mission by 6 year old for Mario Movies, so far only 6 available on E Bay is all I have found. Do you have any ideas for me. Eternally grateful. Barbie

Is Kelly six? (slapped with a fish) OW! eBay is the way I would go, because I think the videos are retired.

Since my last 'wonderfull' letter, I have decided that no-one is to ever call be 'Avid fan Andy B'. I was embaressed to read it. Anyway, I was wondering about the Star Rod. In Super Smash Bros Melee (I love that game) it says that it was first in Kirby's games. Now what is this about. T his iisn't just a coincidence, this is a full blown main story line corss over. So what is going on? If ya don't tell me, I'll tell Shini! (interestingly, translated Shingu's name is 'Gary' in English. You just wanna call him Gaz now, don't ya? Don't worry, I felt the same...) Andy. B. (not an 'avid' fan, just a normal one)

I think it was first in Kirby games. After all, HAL created SSBM and Kirby, so they should know their creation inside and out. Note by Sean Kelly: The Star Rod debuted in Kirby's Adventure for the NES (Kirby uses it as a weapon the defeat the final boss)

Dude, where's my question?

I don't know, probbably with your car.
