    For a limited time, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can play a battle royale version of the classic Mario games.

    Part of the big celebration of Mario’s 35th Anniversary, Nintendo announced that there will be yet another new Mario game coming to the Nitenndo Switch. This one, however, will be quite a bit different than Super Mario 3D All-Stars or Super Mario 3D World. Super Mario Bros. 35 puts an all new spin on this classic franchise.

    What is Super Mario Bros. 35

    For those of you that are unfamiliar with the genre, battle royale usually pits a large amount of players against each other in an all out war to be the last person standing. Initially reserved for the first-person shooter genre, this game mode has been evolving to take on the likes of games such as Tetris, and try out whacky styles like Fall Guys.

    Much like Tetris 99, Super Mario 35 will have each player playing solo on their own centered screen with the enemies surrounding. The goal of the game is to bop as many baddies as you can to send more trouble to your enemies, while dodging the trouble that they send to you in return. The ultimate goal being to be the last person in the group of 35 to not be taken down.

    Mario has been bringing smiles and frustration to homes all around the world for 35 years now!

    Most of us grew up with one or more Mario games at our disposal. Nary a household could be found that didn’t either have Super Mario Bros. or Mario Kart. In one way, shape or form, we’ve all been at the helm of this mustachioed master as he bops endless baddies for our amusement.

    In a way, Mario has just as much helped to shape our society as some of the more major events throughout history. At an early age, Mario teaches us that if we just keep trying, and learning from our mistakes, we can overcome just about any obstacle. This lesson has been taught through countless video games spread across every platform that Nintendo has put out (and some it didn’t; i.e. emulators, mobile games and game mods).

    Mario Odyssey review

    The man, the legend.

    Over the years, Mario has evolved and found himself the centerpiece of many of medias greatest achievements, including giving John Leguizamo a role in what goes on to be critically hailed as one of the worst movies ever made about a video game.

    That being said, I personally thoroughly enjoyed the movie. And, like many of you, have loved just about everything that has had the name Mario ascribed to it through the years. Mario has now even put his own spin on the world of LEGO with a recent collaboration, and will soon be physically racing around in our own homes!!

    So I would like to extend a huge thanks to Nintendo for creating such a light hearted and wonderful protagonist, and say a huge…

    HAPPY 35th ANNIVERSARY MARIO!

    Nintendo has released a video collage featuring Marios evolution over the years.

    Most of us grew up with one or more Mario games at our disposal. Nary a household could be found that didn’t either have Super Mario Bros. or Mario Kart. In one way, shape or form, we’ve all been at the helm of this mustachioed master as he bops endless baddies for our amusement.

    So many fond memories of relaxing and hanging out with my small family unit as we traversed the many and varied levels of the Mario universe. From 2D to 3D, Mario has always been there to help us escape from real world problems, into the much more frustrating realm of digital world problems.

    Well, Nintendo has put together a super cute little video, the Super Mario Bros. Medley, with accompanying music to take us on a stroll down memory lane. The video displays excerpts from the different mainline Mario games, in chronological order of course.
