Your Favourite Mario Enemy!

A while ago I posted a poll on this page that let you guys vote on your favourite basic Mario enemies. Unfortunately, it was a tie between Koopa Troopas and Shy Guys. However, I AM the moderator of this blog and so therefore I overpower all voters and say that Koopa Troopas are better than Shy Guys. So, without further ado, I now present your (and my) favourite basic Mario enemy ever, the KOOPA TROOPA!

Also, Koopa fans rejoice as Koopa Troopas are playable in pretty much any Mario sports game on the Wii, 3DS or DS as well as Mario Kart games where they are my favourite character (after Yoshi, of course!).

The Mini Mario Kart 7 Review!

I received Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS last Tuesday and have since been hard at work completing 100cc on Grand Prix mode. So now, I'm a toughened veteran of the new "gliding" business and am ready to write a mini-review of this game.

First, may I note that Mario Kart 7 is the most FUN Mario Kart game I have EVER played! Don't get fooled by the simplistic menus, this game is jam-packed full of new features. For example, your Kart now has a glider, meaning it is possible to glide places! Also, you can now customise the Kart's wheels and glider attachment, each altering the speed, acceleration, handling and weight of your character's kart. It doesn't end there though- The new tracks are some of the best the series has offered so far, with a truly confusing Rainbow Road track. And the online features are also better than ever! Unlike some other 3DS games, the fact that it is in 3D is almost lost in the jungle of all the other improvements that have been made in this game. 

These features may have what it takes to make the game fun, but does it last? Well, there may be plenty of kart and wheel options in this game, but there are only 16 characters to play as in the whole game! Also, the eight unlockable characters are all unlocked by playing in the 150cc mode, meaning it is pointless playing the game in 50cc or 100cc. There are only 6 courses in battle mode too, which is a disappointment.

Luckily for Mario fans everywhere that is where Mario Kart 7's bad points end, with the rest of the game being composed of pure awesomeness. In fact, if you don't have a 3DS and this is only game on it you want, buy a 3DS just for this! IT IS THAT GOOD!

I rate it-                                                               9.5/10

Am I Betraying Mario?

Recently I haven't been updating this blog much, which I am quite sorry about. You see, I'm a Syward Sword addict now and also I have been busy making strange Youtube videos like this one-

Lucky for my faithful readers though, I am here to announce that I am back into this three times a week blogging business! Plus, I recently got Mario Kart 7 which I will post a micro-review of later.

Drive a Full-Sized Mario Kart!

Have you ever wanted to drive a real life Mario Kart? Well, now you can if you are a member of GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program, who will be holding a competition where for every purchase at gamestop two entries are given to the buyer. Then, two super lucky winners will win an actual full-sized Mario Kart.

Note: Reggie (driver) not included.

Now I wish they had GameStop stores in Australia!

New Mario Kart 3DS Characters!

Nintendo Power has recently revealed that Wiggler and Queen Bee will now be in Mario kart 7, along with the already announced Metal Mario and Lakitu.

This decision has surprised many fans, who still await the comeback of Waluigi in the Kart series. I agree actually, as before they go into any of these obscure members, they really need to make Waluigi playable.

This also brings up the question of how wriggler can fit into a kart! Maybe he actually doesn't have one and instead runs the race...

More will be revealed later as fans anxiously await the next release of the popular kart series.

The Right Time to Buy a 3DS!

Well, Nintendo might be having financial issues, but don't put you off, the 3DS is actually a decent console at a very decent price cut! And, with games such as Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 coming soon to the console, now is the right time to buy it!

Come on, just get one, for Mario's sake!
