Wahoo! It’sa my sona dressed as Mario! Or at least dressed in the colours of one of Mario’s alt’s from the Smash Bros games. And probably one of my favourite alts for Mario in the Smash games as well. Mainly because blue IS a favourite colour of mine. Sadly, this alt is ONLY in Smash 64, Melee and Brawl and NOT in Wii U/3DS or Ultimate but even if this alt didn’t exist getting my self insert dressed as Mister Nintendo himself was still a pretty big thing I wanted to do anyway. I originally wanted to get a pic of this for Mar10 day this year but I just kinda ran out of time. Better late than never though I guess right?

This is probably the point where most people would expect me to go on a story about my history with this franchise and what it means to me and how the Mario franchise has shaped my life and all that but let’s be realistic here, this is Super Mario we are talking about. EVERYONE has a history with the Mario franchise! And everyone loves the Mario franchise. Like I don’t think I’ve seen a single person on the internet say they legitimately hate Mario and even in the rare instances I do, its usually trolls, said as a joke or from Xbox or Playstation fanboys with a hatred for anything Nintendo related anyway... Who are probably just trolls themselves looking for attention to be honest. I will say this about my history with the franchise though if you really are interested, the first ever Mario game I ever played was the GBA port of Super Mario World (which in my opinion is the better version because it lets you swap between Mario and Luigi at any point on the map), Mario Kart is my favourite Mario spin off series with Mario Kart 8 being my favourite especially Deluxe though honestly Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix is getting VERY close to taking that spot for me now as my favourite spin off and my favourite game in this series overall is Super Mario Galaxy. Well, the first Super Mario Galaxy is at least.

Honestly though, most of the Mario games are just really dam fun to play and a lot of my favourite gaming memories have come from these games, both when I played these game as a child and even still while playing them as an adult. It’s just a really fun series even if admittedly some people do take this series WAY two seriously sometimes.
