From the Mushroom Vaults by 3D, --> Hello, kiddies, and welcome to another episode of Desperate Gamers. This month, I'll be showing all you gamers tearing your hair out how to get some major-league shortcut on Mario Kart DS and grab 15 Secret Shines from 'Sunshine. Get ready, get set, SHINE! You are my Shine Sprite, My only Shine Sprite… You are my Shine Sprite when times are gray… For the next few months, there'll be a section devoted to 15 new Secret Shines. Don't worry, after this issue there'll be THREE (three, 3, count 'em, three: uno, dos, tres) sections. So dig in and discover the shiny secrets you've been missing so long. Read more... Review: Super Mario World by Phoenix Rider Phoenix Rider here, your roving reviewer for games new and old. This month we’re taking a stroll down memory lane with Super Mario World. Now, for those of you who don’t own a SNES, no worries. It’s a mere $8 to purchase off the Wii Shop Channel. You’ve probably got more than that in loose change beneath your couch. Gameplay- **** There’s a reason why this game’s a classic. It introduced Yoshi! Well, not really, but it introduced him as we know him. The levels are challenging, but not impossibly challenging, save a few. Finding the secret levels is a great challenge as well. Caped Mario’s controls can take some getting used to, but once you do, you’ll find it’s one of the best, if not the best power in the game. The game also has its share of secrets, most notably the Star Roads and the Special World. You’ll have to search everywhere and do some backtracking to find them all, though. Controls are well thought-out, though knock a star off the category if you’re playing on the Wii with the Gamecube controller. Like the advice blip says when you start up the game: You will need the Classic Controller. Or you can just play the real deal on the SNES and not worry about it. All in all, the story is lacking, but it is a Mario platformer, and an early one at that, so can’t blame the game too much for that. Sound- ***+ Read more... Fake News Template:Fakelink Poll of the Month Who is the Ugliest Mario Series Character? A. Petey Piranha B. Spoiled Rotten C. Waluigi D. Wario Vote Now! Read more... Upcoming Games My Bloody Valentine This is my first time doing the Upcoming Games section, but, I tried my best here. Mario Kart Wii Mario Kart Wii's logo. Mario Kart Wii game looks quite interesting, actually. As a Mario fan, I have played my share of Mario Kart games. Compared with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, this game looks like it will do better in the market. The new interactive functions on the Wii, as well as the Wii Wheel being released with it, will definitely make this game a big success amongst us Mario fans. The release for this game will be in early 2008 for America, with a Japanese, European, and Australian release later in the year. Some of the characters confirmed are Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Bowser, and even Baby Mario. Another interesting factor would be the removal of Karts, and the entrance of actual cars, that suit the character, ranging from a Hot Rod for Waluigi, to a Baby Pram for Baby Mario. Read more...

Hk: i was at Retronintendo.com and they mentioned it, and they mentioned Steve, and I ended up clicking a link one day on that site, and it brought me here and I made an account just kind of randomly and yeah GG: I understand you are the creator of the 'Shroom, how did you come up with this idea? Hk: Well, I got aproval from Steve to make a Community Portal, which eventually became PipePlaza. The 'Shroom was under this, PipelPlaza was an umbrella project that contained the portal and this thing i tottaly ripped from Wikipedia called the signpost. So I really didn't come up with the idea. I stole it and then introduced it. Read more... Mario Knowledge by Bean Trivia Hello, this is Beanbean here reporting to you trivia from the Mario series, and Nintendo. 1.

Lots of events has happened over the summer, such as a big server move, promotions, demotions, and the Second Anniversary. Give a big hand to everyone who wrote an issue this time, and to Pokemon DP (talk), who made a terrific section at the last minute. TheGreatBlockyBoo will have his Quiz in a few days, so bear with us. Well, that's all I got to say, except that there are several job openings now, so if you are interested, go to the sign-up page. The deadline for the next issue is September 21, 2007. Have a nice day, Plumber (talk) Read more...
