Mario has been in over 250 games. Goozernation attempts to near down the top 10 Mario games of all time to the top 5. What makes the cut into the top 5? Will Mario Galaxy be mentioned? What about Super Mario RPG? Where does Paper Mario fall?
Mario and Link have been in dozens of Nintendo games. Combined they have sold close to 3 million games. Both have had their ups and downs, but the question remains who is the king of Nintendo?
In this day and age there are still some timeless classics in gaming. Games that can be played anytime and anywhere. To some the classics include RPGs, to other's the games are timeless Nintendo and Sega games.

Daav from NoobFeed.com gives his vegetarian colleague Mario an ego boost, by shedding the positive side to the non-animal slaughtering lifestyle. Not everyone who eats mushrooms is a tripping junkie and it's high time(s) to see the advantages of plant life adoration.
It's one of the greatest games of all time, and it is also a great learning experience. Here are five important life lessons you can learn from playing Super Mario 64.
"GameZone has gathered our staff to discuss the Top 25 Nintendo published games of all time. Over a month period of time, we deliberated, we debated, we even exchanged a few red turtle shells to knock each other out of the running to nominate our favorite games, but most importantly, we gave tender care to our personal list that we reveal to you today."
In honor of the snowstorm that's blanketed much of the country, it's time to spotlight the best snowy, icy winter levels in video game history. Grab your jacket!
"Super Mario 64 also holds a secret that has yet to be solved. In the courtyard, there is a plaque that says “L is Real 2401”. People originally thought this had to do with making Luigi a playable character, but as of now he only appears in the DS port."
Super Mario 64 was revolutionary back in 1996. That's why it should come as no surprise that the game is still a lot of fun on the Virtual Console. If you want some solid 3D platforming and don't already own a copy, download Super Mario 64 on the Virtual Console immediately.
Mario entered the 3D era of gaming with Super Mario 64 and broke boundaries that many people thought never even existed. Sonic, on the other hand, did not, and his adventure in Sonic 3D Blast left much to be desired. How did the Blue Blur manage to get back on the 3D map after that game?
"Both Sony and Microsoft could learn a little something from Nintendo and how they handle their major franchises and mascots. Microsoft has milked the Halo franchise to the point that the original developer can’t stand the idea of making another one. Sony on the other hand has pushed the God of War franchise a bit too much (six releases, with a seventh coming in Ghost of Sparta in under five years), but hasn’t sacrificed quality for quantity as fans of the series and critics alike both rave ab..."
"Video game fans have a lot of hobbies outside of gaming itself. But more often than not it all ends up going full circle and coming back to the wonderful world of gaming. Sometimes family and friends support our gaming habits by making stuff for game fans. Cakes are one of those hobbies and things."
Every gamer has a classic library of nostalgic classics. When the time comes out to pop in the dusty cartridges however, a few titles almost all gamers can agree on. Take a look at the top ten games that you should take a second (or 100th) play through.
An artist's rendition of what would be in Mario's wardrobe. Comprising of outfits spanning over 2 decades of games, one thing is certain; this would make a pretty sweet graphic t-shirt.
"Iwata: Ever since Mario Bros., you've had your heart set on making a multiplayer Mario game. You've tried each time, but it's never quite come together… Even with Mario 64, it started with Mario and Luigi running around together, didn't it?
Miyamoto: That's right. The screen was split and they went into the castle separately. When they meet in the corridor, I was incredibly happy! (laughs) Then there was also the mode where the camera is fixed and we see Mario running away, steadily ge..."

"Speaking at BAFTA’s Annual Video Games Lecture last night, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux revealed what he believes to be the 5 most revolutionary games from the past 20 years.
In a typically passionate and engaging presentation, Molyneux spoke of the need for designers to defy perceived wisdom and custom, saying, “The best innovations come from challenging the foundation stones of conventional wisdom.” The 5 games selected by Molyneux were specifically chosen for their success in doing just..."
Unless you want to know which actor played a certain role in a movie or game, people generally don't bother watching credits. Usually consisting of black background with white scrolling text, they're boring. So it's always nice when developers try to spice up the ending credits in an attempt to get you to watch them. Here are Gamesradar's Best And Worst Ending Credits In Games.

"A launch title can’t really break a console (Or, maybe it can, see Luigi’s Mansion) but it certainly can make one, and to celebrate my love for judging a system entirely on the first games that come out for it, here are my top five favorite launch titles of all time."
Gamers are some of the most dedicated and passionate fans in the world. While sports fans may know the most basic facts about their team, or movie fans may know the director of their favorite film, gamers know the developer, director, producer, publisher, composer and just about everything else there is to know about their favorite games.
However, there is a fine line between healthy fandom and unhealthly obsession. Some of these people, such as the fellow who has both Mario and Luigi tatt...
Soopa Maria Sato, a cute figurine but not as cute as Mai Shiranui wouldn't you agree?
The designer of this fantastic 6.75" resin figure is Erick Scarecrow. To get your hands one one, you had to purchase a Soopa vinyl toy and find inside a gold coin with one of the specific serial numbers (as seen in the source). The base price of this figure is $90, certainly not a simple toy you find in your local store!

Bret Elston over at GamesRadar goes through the changes in the size (both general and relative) of one of the oldest and our favorite hero/villan pairs in video gaming history- Mario and Bowser.
From the original NES games to the new Wii releases - things have gotten a little different throughout the years.
"It is possible for Old-Wizard to dislike something that Nintendo made. There are plenty of games that were failures for the Nintendo franchise, but there were just too many good games to destabilize Nintendos power. One of the games we think that was overrated for the Nintendo franchise was Mario 64. It was made out to be huge, and it looked huge. But the storyline (that saw its height in Mario 3) was non existent, the controlling was below average, and game play was average compared to all ..."

"This instructable was inspired by Barry Rosenstein's The Red Fez Burger from Build a Better Burger Challenge from the Food Network a few years ago. He colored his top bun red to look like a fez. I thought that was the coolest frakkin' thing ever.
For this instructable, I made my own veggie mushroom patties. They taste like okonomiyaki so it has like a soft fritter/pancake/omelet texture. Feel free to change according to your taste: Boca burger, Gardenburger, meat patties, or just a slab of..."

"No one has more value in their back catalog than Nintendo. Huge numbers of gamers remember and love their favorite NES and Super NES games; the ability to buy and play those games on the Wii without having to hook up old hardware or blow into cartridges was a huge selling point for Nintendo's new system. How well are people responding? Nintendo has just sent word that since launch, 4.7 million games have been downloaded from the service, which means every hour the company sells 1,000 games th..."
