The 5 fastest Mario speedruns

The Super Mario Bros Movie will be coming to Netflix in December in the US.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is headed to Netflix just in time for the holiday season.

With the remake of Mario’s debut RPG just a little over a week away fans are getting ever more excited with every passing ounce of information Nintendo is willing to share. This time the news doesn’t come in just a short teaser trailer, but we’ve finally gotten a great look at the official overview trailer in English to tide us over while we wait. We get a great taste at things we’ve seen before such as the playable cast of characters all the way from Mallow to Peach and a great look at more of the available skills at their disposal as well. The trailer also specifies how the new style of timed hits work as there are two key styles to knock it out of the park. The first is a timed hit that does additional damage to an enemy, while a perfectly timed hit will manage to do splash damage to every enemy in battle. This is a great incentive to get players trying to master their skills at timing attacks and blocks for both avoiding and dishing out damage best they can! The trailer also highlights the new Breezy mode which makes fights and leveling up easier in addition to a brand new monster list that will detail all their strengths and weaknesses for maximum planning skills for Mario and friends!

Those looking to level up fast will want to know a few tricks that let them soar through early stages. Some of the best gear, cosmetics, and other items available will undoubtedly be tied to how much experience you manage to obtain in different modes.

Mario has been teaching kids important life lessons for generations. Think about how Mario showed you that persistence is key, munching mushrooms is good for you, and stealing is a-ok. Well, that spirit will live on in the upcoming Super Mario RPG remake, it turns out, in the revival of one of the dirtiest jokes in the game's history.

You probably don't need me to tell you that Super Mario RPG is good. It's one of the best SNES games ever made, and while it never got the direct sequel it deserved, it did lay the foundations for series like Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi to continue offering colorfully charming takes on the RPG formula in the Mushroom Kingdom for decades to come. That's why, after an early look at the upcoming Switch remake, I don't really want to talk about the game in general terms - I want to show you just how well it compares against that original classic.

When I started my playthrough of Super Mario Bros. Wonder as Nabbit, I didn’t know what I was getting into. I picked him purely on vibes. He reminded me of Ravio from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and he seemed like an unlikely hero for the new game. He isn’t a model hero like Mario; he looks like a pesky little thief. I liked that about him — that is, until I realized he cheated me out of the traditional Mario experience.

One great feature of the Nintendo Switch has been the increasing back catalog of excellent Nintendo games available on the system, and the newest additions complete the collection of the truly standout games. The series has long stood out from most party games thanks to both its frantic fun and a little help from its famous mascot, receiving 10 numbered entries and multiple games that opt for subtitles instead. Although some fun can be had with every entry, a select few stand out as the best of the bunch even years after their release.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has done very well since launching last week on Nintendo Switch, debuting second in physical sales charts for the United Kingdom. It’s also performed exceptionally throughout Europe, becoming the fastest-selling Mario game ever in the continent in its first three days on sale.
