| I seen on a website that there was this mario show call super mario allstar
Is that a new comeback to the mario bros cartoon or is it a old show
- Matthew noneyabuisness
Sean Kelly: From what I know, this showed episodes from old shows.
Kyle Orland: If memory serves, the Mario All-stars cartoon was a collection of clips from the other Mario cartoons (Super Show, SMB3 and Super Mario World).
Jay Resop: Let's see... The simple answer to your question is, no, the show is not new, and yes, it is an old show. From what I remember, it was a sort of cheap "collection" of all of the old SMBSS, SMB3, SMW episodes thrown together. The non-simple answer is that the Super Mario All Star show is a huge conspiracy by our government to deny the existence of extraterrestrial life. The truth...........is.......um..........somewhere.-jay
PenguinMan: Well, if you're not going to give me your last
name, why should I answer your question? You expect us
to be kind when people like you are being difficult? I
don't get paid enough to do that, so foo on you.
EAM: There is no new Mario cartoon.
Luigi128: No... Super Mario All-Stars is a game. Not a TV show.
PeachFan: Super Mario All-Stars was made in the late 1980s. So it's not new.
By the way, grammar is your friend!
Hi,
I saw that Jay Resop made this "Which NC character are you?" test, and
I was wondering how he did it.
Did he use some kind of program for it?
I'd really like to know, It was hysterical!
Thanks mates!
- Noah Berman
Sean Kelly: I think it's called javascript.
Kyle Orland: I think Jay used some JavaScript or something. Jay?
Jay Resop: I designed the "What NC character are you?" test using my amazing power of psychokinesis. This means that I have the ability to read your brain and determine which answers you pick for each of the questions I ask on the test. I determine your answers not with any fancy computer code, but WITH MY ALL POWERFUL MIND! And then I simply assign you to a random character. You can use this method to make your own test, I don't mind (no pun intended).-jay
PenguinMan: He forced Dr. Donez to make it under threat of
having to watch every episode of Hogan's Heroes 5
times straight with only 3 minute bathroom breaks
between seasons.
EAM: It's written in Java Script.
Luigi128: He used JavaScript. But yeah, it's pretty funny.
PeachFan: Don't ask me, I'm not Jay. I'm Peachfan.
Hey, guys...
I've kinda notice the absenses that continuly go on and off of not updating
the site. After April Fools Day(please no offense for this), the joke
actually took effect of not updating.
I don't want that to happen! Please, when you update the mailbag, if ever,
make sure you receive this!
I want SMBHQ to be the best site in the internet, next a few. Please
update!
Your desperate fan,
A.J. Carrillo
Sean Kelly: Let me ask you. What do you think is higher on a priorities list: Super Mario website or Life?
Kyle Orland: Please understand that the staff of this site puts as much time as possible into maintaining SMBHQ in light of their busy real world schedules. Personally, some changes in my living situation in the coming months may lead me to a more active updating role. Stay tuned...
Jay Resop: Wow, that would be a good April Fools joke. "I will no longer be updating NC.-jay". And then I never update it again. Hm...maybe I'll do that next year. Thanks for the idea.-jay(I'm kidding...............OR ARE I?)
PenguinMan: Well, it's nice that we have someone to care for us
that much, but have YOU tried updating a website with
even minimal content semi-regularly? That's what I
thought.
EAM: I assure you, the joke didn't affect my not updating.
Luigi128: Dude. SMBHQ IS the coolest site ever!
PeachFan: Hey, I'm working on it. Unfortunately, all the files I've got for the
Books and Comics section are on my dysfunctional desktop. But there
will be an update soon.
Help! I can't seem to win a level and it is driving me crazy. I just keep
going around in circles. It is super mario 3, world 6, level 5. You get
dropped out of a pipe that you can't go back up and the other pipes lead
back to each other. Any clues are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Crazy for Mario in CT
Sean Kelly: While someone else will probably be less cryptic, I will say this: Did you notice the abundance of Leafs and Koopas in that level? BTW, unless you want the Hammer Bros suit in the Toad's House, you are not required to beat this level.
Kyle Orland: I don't remember this level off hand, and don't have any references on hand. Guys, any help?
Jay Resop: Let's play Blue's Clues! (runs)-jay
PenguinMan: Pipes are cruel, heartless beings whose sole
purpose in live is to destory the wills of hapless
plumbers. I suggest just using a warp whistle next
time.
EAM: Go up the fourth gap and up the pipe to find the exit.
Luigi128: Find the right pipe.
PeachFan: I don't remember that level... Of course, it probably doesn't help
that the last time I was in world 6 was probably back in 1993.
Dude, this is the most awesome site ever. Thank you for putting it up, and
not making it so explanatory that posers can be like, Yeah I know all about
Mario after reading your site (if knowing about the 80s is ever the in
thing to do...). I own an 80s community online (late80searly90s on
livejournal) so this site just rocked my socks. Thanks!
- Niki Samakar
Sean Kelly: Thanks. Interesting group BTW.
Kyle Orland: Glad you like it. Mario seems to touch a specific nostalgic nerve in a large number of people who might be more alienated with what video games have become recently. The Mairo series speaks to simpler times when you could waste an entire Saturday trying to beat every level in SMB3. Ah, memories.
Jay Resop: Um..............you didn't ask a question. No matter. I will determine what your question is......WITH MY ALL POWERFUL MIND! Hold on.............. Let me concentrate........... Your question................. is....................... "Do I like pie?" The answer to your question is no, you don't.-jay
PenguinMan: Do we rock your socks like the Xbox does for jocks?
*gets shot*
EAM: I'm glad you think the site is incomplete enough to perpetuate your
dominance of 80s knowledge.
Luigi128: The ironic part is that when we responders respond to
these emails, they are entitled "QUESTION #"... But
thanks for the compliment!
PeachFan: Thanks for the compliment! I also think this is the most awesome site
ever. (Although last I checked, I'm not a dude.)
Hello, I am a Mario fan from Australia and I was wondering why Mario only
speaks certain phrases. Do you know why?
- psyk3329
Sean Kelly: You mean you want to know why Mario doesn't say "G'day Mate!" :P (Oh no, I'm turning in Jay!)
Kyle Orland: My best guess is this makes him more universal. If Mario gave whole monologues, it would be harder for the player to put themselves into his shoes. Limiting his speech also lets players use their imaginations to visualize what Mario might say and how he would say it.
Jay Resop:It's because Mario rides the short bus to school. For more information, read my section, Neglected Mario Characters.-jay
PenguinMan: It is a little known fact that Italians have a
limited vocabulary. If you ever listen to dance music
from Italy, you'll know what I mean.
Editor's Note: Ummmmm.....I'm Italian
EAM: He's secretly deaf. Because he's afraid that being deaf will hurt his
heroic reputation, he never admits it. He tries to follow converations
as best he can. Since it's hard he talks as little as possible, and
when he does say something it's often not exactly relevant.
Luigi128: Well, that has to do with the fact that Mario is an
obese slob with an infinitesimal vocabulary. I doubt
seriously that it has anything whatsoever to do with
the fact that, seeing as how he is Italian, Nintendo
tries to solidify his appearance thus with an
entourage of clichè Italian phrases.
PeachFan: I think it's probably to save space on the disc/cartridge/whatever so
they can put in more gamey goodness.
I just purchased the new nintendo gamecube and I'd
love to play the old NES version of Super Mario Bros.
Do you know if that game or that version exists for
the new GameCube? I've been searching the internet
and I'm not having much luck? Any help or information
would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Michelle
Sean Kelly: You bought a Gamecube and want to play Super Mario Bros. I'm sad to say you purchased the wrong system.
Kyle Orland: Well, if you pick up a Game Boy Player for that Gamecube and find a copy of Super Mario Bros. DX for the Game Boy Color, that could do it. Or just pick up an old NES and SMB from eBay or a secondhand shop. They are extremely cheap.
Jay Resop: Sorry. Download some roms. Roms are good.-jay
PenguinMan: Well, if that was all you wanted, all you needed to
do was buy a Game Boy Color and Super Mario Bros.
Deluxe. Of course, I heard you'll be able to play NES
games on the upcoming Revolution, so there's that
option as well.
EAM: The closest you can come to SMB on Gamecube is using the Gameboy Player
to play either the Classic NES Series SMB or SMB DX.
Luigi128: No, it's not. You could always illegally download it
and play it on your computer, but WHO DOES THAT!?
PeachFan: Unfortunately, there's no rereleases for the GameCube. I do believe
they have rereleased them for Gameboy Advance, though.
HI,
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR DRAWINGS OF SUPER MARIO TO PRINT AND PAINT AND HAVE
NOT FOUND THE SAME. CAN YOU HELP ME?
THANKS,
- Andrea Fabini
Sean Kelly: Did I lose part of this e-mail?
Kyle Orland: Eh? Is this some sort of paint by numbers book or some such?
Jay Resop: YES, I CAN HELP YOU. WITH MY ALL POWERFUL MIND!-jay
PenguinMan: Aaaaaaaaaaah! My ears (eyes?)! I'll tell you where
to get Mario pictures when I regain my senses (In
other words, never).
EAM: Google for fan art. You should find something.
Luigi128: Well, you could look in pretty much any Instruction
Book for a Mario Bros. game.
PeachFan: Google Images is your friend.
Hi
My little boy, Quinn, is 5 years old. He has a Nintendo DS and plays Super
Mario on it. He LOVES Yoshi. Please can you tell me is there anywhere you
can go and visit Yoshi? (Super Mario Theme Park?)
He asks me at least three times a day!!!
Many thanks
Juliette Gascoigne
Sean Kelly: If there was, I would be there in a heartbeat.
Kyle Orland: Unfrtunately, there is no Mario theme park. The closest he could come is probably the new Nintendo World store in New York City, which features lots of Nintendo memorabilia and products. Or visit Nintendo's HQ in Redmond, WA. They give great tours.
Jay Resop: Wow...........that's a new one. Interesting idea, but sorry. Your best bet is to go to Disney World and tell your kid that Mickey Mouse is Yoshi.-jay(Or try ebay. Everything is on ebay.)
PenguinMan: Man, if there were a Mario/Nintendo theme park, I'd
be there everyday, regardless of petty things like a
job, food, money, personal hygenie, etc.
Unfortunately, despite Mario being more popular than
Mickey, that doesn't seem to be in the plans for
Nintendo any time soon.
EAM: The Nintendo store maybe, but it's a long shot.
Luigi128: There is no Super Mario Theme Park. But, why don't you
just buy one of those Yoshi plush toys from
GameXChange and he can hug that all he wants!
PeachFan: I wish there was a Super Mario theme park. As far as I know, there's
noplace you can go and actually meet Yoshi. But something that might
be a nice suprise for your son is to get him a plush Yoshi (can be
found on eBay). I think he might enjoy that.
Dear Mario and Luigi, you guys are the greatest plumbers and nice guys
in all the Mushroom Kingdom. Is there such a thing as double w Luigi?
Love, David (P.S. I am writing this from my Grandpa's computer)
Sean Kelly: Uhhhh.....
Mario: Why-a thank-a you-a. We-a are-a glad-a to-a have-a fans-a like-a you-a.
Luigi: What's a double-a W-a?
Kyle Orland: WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT DOUBLE W LUIGI! THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET! MY PLANS A RUI--- er, I mean. No. No, there is no such thing.
Jay Resop: Yes. Yes there is. But I'm not telling you where. You have to ask that in another e-mail.-jay
PenguinMan: Whoa, Mario and Luigi help answer the mailbag?
Sean, why didn't you tell anyone?!
EAM: Waluigi?
Luigi128: Sanity... is for the weak!
PeachFan: ....
Princess Peach: Dear David,
I agree, Mario and Luigi are awesome plumbers. They've gotten me out
of a lot of problems, especially with Bowser, that nasty Koopa. And
they are the nicest guys in all the Mushroom Kingdom. That's why I
like them. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a double W Luigi.
I haven't heard about it, and I'm sure if Mario or Luigi found one,
they'd tell me. Thank you for writing!
