Stories relating to the Super Mario franchise[edit]
- Over the winter holiday I found myself locked in a cabin for a weeklong skiing vacation with my two nutty little sisters, who think it's utterly hilarious to ask me about ten billion times when am I going to fall in love with some airhead from "Dawson's Creek," and my parents, whose idea of getting wild is cranking up this antediluvian (a great word meaning "ancient") band called "Bad Company." How appropriate. Anyway, I spent every evening for a solid week with earphones plugged into my GBA, mastering Wario Land 4 and Super Street Fighter II: Turbo Revival. Thanks for keeping me from going totally insane, GBA.

- My GBA saved me form[sic] Boringsville. I go to New York City a lot and my sisters love going to art places. Since I am 10 and they are 13, I have to go with them. Nothing personal but[sic] I do not want to see a bunch of dead guys. Then to my advantage[sic] my Game Boy Advance saved me. Now I play, no, I live in Golden Sun and Super Mario Advance.

Well it all[sic] started when I was going on a trip to Las Vegas, well I took my Platinum Game Boy Advance, as we were driving and driving and driving I was playing Super Mario Advance having a blast while driving through the hot Nevada deserts, even when we got there I still played my Game Boy! Get one now! Boredom is not possible with a Game Boy Advance.
