Most anticipated Mario ever. So much so that I made and sewed a "raccoon tail" onto a pair of pants and wore it to school for days. Watching the commercial still gives me chills.

ElDuQue says:: Clame for said commercial

Clever Chester says:: Back in the good ol' days. When controllers only had 5 buttons.

ElDuQue says:: @clevechester Simpler controllers, harder games, and it was challenging to find a "strategy guide" (cheat book) back then. You actually had to WORK and maybe be frustrated to beat a game.

The Straub says:: Warp whistle straight to 5 staches

ElDuQue says:: @slor Clame for proof that I was one of the first in line. Didn't care about the movie, just wanted to see the final 10 minutes.

Eric says:: Now I wish my NES didn't have a stroke every time I try to play it.

chadmcclarnon says:: to this day one of the best games ever made. Talk about pushing the envelope

ElDuQue says:: @thestraub I remember accidentally finding my first whistle and being thoroughly upset that when I finally used it I skipped Giant Land - the only world I WANTED to see!
miguelito I had one box of that cereal. ONE box was plenty! Kinda wish I had kept the box....
eric I was wondering if anyone saw the background I put up! Thx!
malphrus Medium-stocky usually sums it up. Paraphernalia you say? Intrigued I am! Tell me more!

Hodges says:: I still have mine as well!

theAwesomebot says:: And if it didn't work, just blow on it and jiggle it a little bit. It still baffles me that everyone instinctually knew to do this.

ElDuQue says:: As a side note, as I re-proofread my caption I love that the word "Mario" is a generic in game circles. "Ey - you played that new Mario?" "Man that Mario 8-2 is a pain" There's no need to mention the word "game" - it's just implied. Kind of like the word "Nintendo" back in the 80's and 90's - it universally meant "video game".

Hungarian Moustache says:: This is really super. I used to spend countless hours playing this game. I took my 1st job to save up for it.

it is probably not something you'd wear everyday, but it is worth a chuckle or two.

Paulie says:: Old school meets new school... also I think having a moustache while playing mario automatically improves your skills.

ElDuQue says:: @malphrus There's a chance I'll be at the bash, but at this point it ALL depends on the twins and how much tenderizing of the Wife they're doing at that point.

malphrus says:: @ElDuQue gotcha.
well, next time you make it to nashville, whenever that may be, you've got an NES surprise waiting for you.
