Section of the Month
March's Critic Corner Section of the Month
In case readers did not know, these are here due to the lack of a Critic Corner section this month. Sorry about that!
The winner of last month’s SotM was New Super Mario with his “Smash Time” section, which came in with 7 votes. YoshiMonsta’s “Entertainment Section” came in close with 4 votes. Congrats! (;

The 'Shroom Spotlight
Welcome ‘Shroom readers, you may or may not be aware but this is the one year anniversary of Spotlight’s re-introduction to our paper. So we thought it fitting to have some words from our former director: YoshiKong (talk).
"Hey guys... wow, has it really been a year since the Spotlight project was dusted off and made a regular section to the 'Shroom once again? Holy Heck where did that time go??! Special thanks to my mates Yoshi876 and GBAToad for taking on the director position with such commitment and enthusiasm after I decided to ditch it! Shine on 'Shroomers, and keep up the good work y'all!"

Fake News
Editorial
Hello, and welcome to the first Fake News of 2014! I think.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is extraordinary. You may remember the Fake News section in the issue released a year ago today, Issue LXXIII, in which Tucayo (talk), in his final (though not actually final) Ask Tucayo section, made this outlandish and, at the time, seemingly irrelevant claim:
MCD: Who would you like as an ideal replacement for the "Ask ____" section?
Tucayo: Kim Jong-un. Or Bill Clinton. [...]

Fun Stuff
Hello readers! This is SMB, returning to The 'Shroom to direct the Fun Stuff Team. New Super Mario (talk) was looking for somebody to replace him as he had other responsibilities to tend to, so I applied for the position and was given the job. I will work with the Core Staff team and the Fun Stuff writing team to ensure that we continue to produce high-quality sections and projects each month. From now on, I will make posts in the Fun Stuff Director's Notes regarding openings in the writing team, Section of the Month results from the previous edition's vote, and any new features that we plan to introduce.

Pipe Plaza
Hello, readers, and welcome to the April Issue of Pipe Plaza!! This month, I do have news not related to Section of the Month, so let's get to that!
I had this in mind ever since the beginning of the year, but ended up forgetting about it for the past three months. I finally remembered to talk to the staff a few days ago, presenting my idea, and so we have decided to make UPdate, written by Super Mario Bros. (talk) as a guest section in the December 2013 Issue, a regular section in the Pipe Plaza Sub-Team. It will open for sign-ups immediately after this issue is released, so be sure to start working on an application if you're interested in the section!

Fading Into Obscurity
KP
Hello there and welcome to Fading into Obscurity! KP here, and today we are going to look at a not-so well known character from the Mario series: Il Piantissimo!
Piantissimo appears in Super Mario Sunshine, making his appearance in Gelato Beach, demanding that Mario race him to the nearby flag, being the exuivalent of Koopa the Quick in that manner. He returns in Noki Bay and in Pianta Village, staying true to his overconfident and superior attitude, even though Mario beats him both times. At the end of the game, Piantissimo finds the Magic Paintbrush while at Gelato Beach, making an elusive ending to the game.

From the Mushroom Vaults
KP
Hi readers, I'm KP, your new From the Mushroom Vaults writer. Since I've been playing a lot of Nintendo 64 lately, I would like to share some good info about Super Mario 64 with you. This month, we will look at the Red Coin missions for all three Bowser-themed courses for those of you who want to get 120 Power Stars, which I'm sure all of you do, right? No? Well, too bad, I'm doing it anyway!
- Red Coin 1 and 2 are both on top of blocks that appear upon activating a ! Switch.
- Red Coin 3 is next to the third crystal in the second section of the level.
- Red Coin 4 is next to a stone cube and can be obtained when a yellow block protrudes from the side.

My subdirector has mysteriously disappeared. Hopefully he will return eventually.
Anyhow, thanks for reading this issue of the 'Shroom! A reminder that July will be a Special Issue, and more info on that will be available next month!
