S5E39 - Super Mario 3D Retrospective - "The best game that no one should play"

We’ve been playing a bunch of 3D Mario games. Which makes sense
because it's the 35th anniversary of the release of Super Mario
Bros on NES all the way back in 1985. We even did an issue of
PRESS START on Mario at https://patreon.com/geektogeekcast!


Beej has been playing a TON of Mario games, not just 3D ones,
either. But he finally beat Super Mario Odyssey and likes it a
lot more than he did beforehand. Between Super Mario 3D Land and
World, the level-based platforming is covered, the New Wii U
Deluxe version is getting some Switch play, and then there's the
brand new Super Mario 3D All-Stars that just released that
everyone is playing and loving. He's playing that, too!
Whew! 


And Void is, too! He's focusing more on the Super Mario 3D
All-Stars part of things, but really loves him some Super Mario
Galaxy. Enough that he beat it on its own already. He wants Super
Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch, and his thinking is that we're going
to see it as DLC for the All-Stars collection. Wouldn't that
awesome? What do you think?


The guys go into even more depth on all the games in the series,
really talking a stroll down memory lane for each and every 3D
Mario game (and then some!).

Weekly Geekery


For Weekly Geekery this week, Beej has been playing with LEGO
Super Mario thanks to Elinzia's review on GeekToGeekMedia.com,
watching The Social Dilemma on Netflix and spawns a good tangent
for you listeners. And Void has been watching the Mandalorian
with his kids, so they're finally getting into Star Wars from
some of the newest and strongest content imaginable. They get to
experience it all for the first time, and we're so jealous! Void
then goes on about Fortnite and how the new Marvel content is
some of the best stuff the game has ever done. Hands down. Beej
agrees. Of course, he hasn't played since Season 1, really, but
he likes agreeing. So he did.
