Where Have You Gone Super Mario?

November 17, 2009 in Blog comments 3

Gaming Target examines Mario's diminishing place in the video game community and how, like Joe DiMaggio's response to "Mrs. Robinson", he hasn't really gone anywhere and is just as popular as ever.

In 1967, Paul Simon wrote "Mrs. Robinson", his now famous ode to forgotten heroes and times gone by. Mario wouldn't make his video game debut until fourteen years later, but the parallels between Nintendo's heroic mascot and Paul Simon's most famous composition are hard to ignore.

    Well personally I don't like 3D Mario that much.I still prefer side-scrolling Mario.

      Me neither. I think Super Mario 64 isn't anywhere near as fun as some people make it out to be. Galaxy was awesome though, perhaps thanks to it's linear level styles.

        Never played a 3D Mario after Mario 64 because the SNES was my last Nintendo console I owned.


        May buy Mario Galaxy one day when I have a Wii.
