Mario's new role as 'Sellout-boy' - 11.8.05

  Email to a friend



MarioAs a Super Mario Brothers fan, it's very distressing to point you in the direction of an article that looks at the fat plumber indulging in too many slices of corporate pizza. A pizza so stale and wretched that the salami turned years ago and it looks like Mario himself is choking on the crust.

Games.net point out the top ten 'Mario sellout Moments' in a bizarre look at the Nintendo icon.

Among the shameless acts are the utterly sinful Mario Brothers film starring Bob Hoskins. I have not even seen it, but there's all the information I need to know about it right there, Baby Mario (nuff said?) and the number one spot going to the much anticipated 'Mario Kart Double Dash!!'

Without a doubt, the biggest letdown in Mario land was Mario Kart Double Dash!! for the Nintendo GameCube. Perhaps the most anticipated Nintendo release of this generation, Double Dash!! is proof that little has changed since Mario Kart on the SNES. The sense of speed is mediocre and little was done to compensate for the lack of online multiplayer play, with the exception of a Crash Team Racing power slide rip-off and two-in-one kart action. Big deal.
