Mario Clock

This game is a widget that you can download for the Nintendo DS. It is easy to download and start playing immediately.

You do not get that much control over Mario or Luigi and the clock you see on the screen can only be changed to digital or normal.

One thing that is a little to obvious is the clock on the screen. This clock plays a big role in the game so it has a permanent place on the screen.

Once you have collected 100 coins, you will turn into Luigi. This has no effect on the game play as Luigi has the same skills as his fat plumber brother.

The graphics are of the old school Mario game and the sound fx are familiar.

Mario is Missing

If you ever get this game, do not even lay it. You will only waste time that you will not get back. The game looks promising in the beginning and in the intro you see Mario being kidnapped.

You are expecting a fun and grand adventure game. You see Luigi in the cool kingdom stage and the music brings back memories.

But you will be disappointed. Instead of a platforming game you get a strange, awkward puzzle and item gathering game that makes no sense.

A majority of the game plays in a city where Luigi has to talk to people to gain information. This one gets two thumps down.

Mario Time Machine

If you have heard of the gaming company The Software Toolworks, then you know that they are known for making bad games, like Mario is missing.

In this game you need to collect an apple and then jump into a time machine to complete your missions. The game play is pretty bad. Mario feels like he is running on a slippery slope and you can only duck when you are standing still.

The game also has a bunch of mini games that are very dull and boring.

Mario games are great, but there are a couple that you need to stay away from. We just looked at three of those.

Mario might be famous, but his closest friends and family members also played a big role in pushing him up to that number one spot. In the classic games many of his closest love ones make an appearance like Luigi and Yoshi.

Mario has been in it seems like million games, from good ones to horrible ones. But just having Mario in a game will boost the sales. Not only was he in platform type games, where you run and jump, he has appeared in fighting games such as super smash brothers, but also in tennis games, and in racing games.

Mario Kart 64 is the first game that you need to play. It is a very fun game with good graphics and you can play it with your friends or family members. You do not have to be an gaming expert as it is very easy to get in to. You can beat other racers by using your driving skills or by collecting items you pick up on the course to make your competition their live a living nightmare.

Super Mario is very successful because of the platform run and jump games that he starred in. Super Mario World is one of these games that is widely popular.

It set the bar high and it became the standard which other games where compared to. The game introduced us to Yoshi, which is one of the best sidekicks to have. This game is also a very huge game, which means hours of fun.

Mario 64 is the third game that you need to play. This game is huge, but it can be finished in less than 12 hours if you skip all the stars and just go for the quickest exit. The graphics are colorful, the music is recognizable, and the controls are awesome. Mario has the ability to perform many moves that seems useless at first but are very necessary. The levels are also very intriguing and diverse, with enemy bosses that will make you think and be skillful.

A great thing about Mario games is that the creators are able to take the same characters, but are able to spin in to a different genre like, tennis or racing and totally dominate and get new fans in the process. There have been failures to of course, but Mario will never be remembered for those as he has literally changed the video game industry and controls his own destiny.

The games discussed are not the only great Mario games there are others like Super Mario Bros 3 and Mario RPG. You should try playing all of them and not limit yourself to the current consoles that are on the market. The Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 have many great Mario games that are still being played to this day. Some of the games have been ported to the handheld consoles for the younger generation of gamers to enjoy.

Peach can jump in the air glide down using her umbrella and do cool tricks while in the air. This will attract the attention of a crowd. The more tricks you do the larger the crowd will get.

Bowser is a big character to play with. He is very slow and cannot jump high. His advantages are that he can breath fire and that he is so big.

Super Paper Mario is really interesting because you can play it as a sidescroller, but also as a 3d game. Matter of fact, you will be switching between both modes frequently. Anytime it seems that you have reached a dead end or cannot do a long jump, just switch over to the other mode and the answer might be right in front of you.

Star Mario is cool addition to the game. When you collect this power up, you turn into this humongous eight bit Mario that demolishes everything in his way. This glory does not last forever, though.

Another cool edition to the Paper Mario world are the Pixies. These are handy little see-through sidekicks who make your life a little bit easier. There are more than 5 Pixies and each has his or her own ability. One lets you float, another builds a wall of spikes around you, and more.

There are some cool items in this game, like the small eight bit Marios that help you defeat enemies and stick by your side until they are defeated

If you have not played Super Paper Mario for the Wii yet, then you are missing out on so much fun. This is an excellent game that you need to play.

This makes looking at the graphics interesting. The graphics are very bright and cartoony. Nothing to spectacular, but it gets the job done. The music and sound fx are of good quality, also.

The battle system is where you will have the most fun. As any other rpg you can do the ussual, such as attack, defend, and flee. But each character also has special moves.

Another feature about the game is that if you press the right button at the right time, your attack does more damage. Or if you are being attacked and you press the button at the time you would receive damage, you will receive less damage.

The game is basically split between battles and exploring. While exploring you can talk to your buddies and find items.

The reason you need to do so exploring is to find a way to get to Bowser. He has kidnapped the princess Peach and it is up to Super Mario to defeat him. This is not a quick task where you can skip stages to reach the boss fast.

You will have plenty of enemies and obstacles in your way to make it hard on you and Luigi. Good thing is that you can make your team stronger by gaining experiences. You gain experience by defeating enemies. The more you defeat the more experience you gain.

Paper Mario is definitely a video game you need to purchase. It is fun and easy to get into, and the battle system also has a little bit of depth for the rpg fans.

You start of by going to the Mushroom castle and jumping into a painting. When you jump into one you will go to that level. The mission is to collect the stars and red coins, the more stars you collect, the more paintings you can jump into.

All the paintings in Super Mario 64 require a certain amount of stars. Super Mario himself has some awesome new moves. He can do a triple jump, with each jump he goes higher. He can jump forward for some extra speed. He can also jump in the air and then slide forward.

This time around Mario can fly when he has little wings on his cap, he can turn into a metal Mario, which lets him sink in the water and he can do a couple of other nifty moves.

When it comes to the levels in Super Mario 64, there are a lot. This game can easily keep you busy for longer than 20 hours if you want to collect everything and finish all the levels. It is not required to finish all the levels if you want to beat the game.

There are also many little touches and secrets in the game. Like Yoshi who is happy to see you and gives you a little surprise.

Enemies are plenty and varied. Of course you have the bomb enemies, but there are new ones that will surprise you.

If you have not played this game yet, you must not like video games. This game has single handedly set the standard for all other platforming games that come after it. Super Mario 64 is a classic.

We try to constantly update the website with relevant information for the fans. As you guys know, Mario has been here for a while and is not going away anytime soon. He is far to popular.

Shigeru Miyamoto did an excellent job of taking this plumber to a whole new level. So sit back, enjoy, and start playing super mario games.
