PenguinMan26 Keeps the forums in check

Hello everyone! PenguinMan26 here again! Ready for someone who you know nothing about to answer your e-mails? Here we go!

hi guys

have any mario games appeared on the mac platform?

Thanks

- stuart

I remember a couple of games for the PC with Mario in it. I haven’t heard of one for the Mac though.

I was wondering how you sell your "SMBHQ" apparel without getting sued by Nintendo and/or Myamoto-san?

isnt that copyright infringement?

- Fanny Ho

Well, I think they have more to worry about than some fan website selling T-shirts. I don’t think that Jay is claiming to have created Mario and the gang either.

Attached are some pics of mario shirts that i have found

Awesome shirts! I wonder if I can get them in my size. ; )

Hi,

I received a Game Boy for Christmas and the Super Mario World2 game.  I 

am stuck in the Forest of Ilusions.  I know I must get the key in Forest 4 

to get to the castle, but cannot figure out how to get it.  Can you help?

Thanks,

- MJohnson

Yes, that’s a tricky one to find. After the half-way marker, there should be a gray pipe over a flat field. There are three ways to get it. One way is to knock a Lakitu off its cloud and jump in it to get to pipe. Another way is to try and fly up there with the cape, although it can be difficult. Finally, you can always use Yoshi.

Hello anyone know about the secret warp in 1-2 & I think in 8-3, you go to a hidden level?

-Adam Bjorklund

Ah, yes. The infamous Minus world. It’s hard to get to, and impossible to beat. Really. It is. Don’t try. Unless having Mario/Luigi swim in an endless loop is your idea of quality time with your NES.

Yes. The Mario doll with the Retro type now painted with the New type. Last year, I won Paper Mario before Christmas. Now my wish came true and my collection is complete. And guess what? In Christmas, I beat the game. Whoa, how difficult it was, beginning with Watt and ending with Goombario.

I have a question: Imagine that you're playing Mario Party 2 in the Mini-Game Coaster in Hard difficulty as DK and Mario as your partner. You easily clear Honeycomb Havoc and then you go to the most hard mini-game, Mecha Marathon. You always try to win but you always lose. What shall you do? Try to clear it again or save in that point [3 lives] until a friend of yours clear it for you? I choose the second option: Save at that point until a friend of mine clears it. If you choose the first one, tell me the secret.

What are the news in your place?

From Mario and DK's best friend. I can't say the name, so please remember

Paper Mario’s a great game. Congratulations on beating it. And as for MP2, I haven’t played it for a long time.

News in my place? None. And you know what they say, no news is…well… no news. I think.

Hi,I have been playing Mario games for years and I have to say each one 

just gets better and better. Then when I found your website I was reading 

the section called "about Mario" when I came across the part the said that 

all of the cute little dinosaurs are called "Yoshi" and that there sis one 

named "Yoshi" that Mario rides. Well I have to disagree. The cute little 

dinosaurs are not all called Yoshi because in SMBRPG when you get to Yo'ster Isle 

you can race against a dinosaur (they're so cute!) named "Boshi" so 

therefore not all of the cute little dinosaurs are named Yoshi.

                                             Sincerely,

                                             someone who likes Yoshi

P.S. Luigi Rocks! Spread the word.

Yeah, that’s right. I think that’s the only Yoshi with a different name though, so I guess it’s easy to overlook.

And of course Luigi rocks. No words have to be spread.

Here's the really really weird version of Super Mario All-Stars...

I think what you have to do is set the space bar as the select key and press it in a level of Super Mario Bros 3.  Try running and doing it to make the box appear...

Hope you see what it does...

Erm, what? And I’d try the Rom, but I really like it when my computer functions correctly.

SK Note: Download the ROM at your own risk

I'm having a problem: For some reason, my cousin's NES won't work anymore! Every time I turn it on, there are a bunch of little squares that blink a lot, then the screen goes static, then POOF! It's off. Why is this happening? Is this a virus or something? I need instruction on how to stop the problem!

- Peg Jindra

Hmm… My NES something like that sometimes, but it never shuts itself off. It may reset itself, but that’s about it. I suggest trying to find someone who can recondition it, or buy a new one. Both aren’t exactly easy to find, though.
