An In-Depth look at Super Mario Odyssey by: AR-Cade and Temmanuel

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics!

One thing we forgot to look into was the fact that Mario is not on the home world of The Mushroom Kingdom anymore.. Does this mean he's traveled to another world through space? Or could this be another alternate dimension, considering that the Mushroom Kingdom could be called another dimension to earth (possibly). I don't want to over-think it, but I do want to understand it's story more. How'd he get to this new planet exactly? We may not know until the game is released, but I think that Rosalina may be involved here. The game is practically a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. It's the rightful continuation in the 3D Super Mario game series, which 3D World didn't completely provide,  unarguably.

 Here's our article, I hope you find you can agree with our findings. Thanks for reading, and Remember; Mario-Time all the time!

Super Mario Odyssey Coming to E3 2017

According to IGN

Hello Mario fanatics! My name is "The Happiest Kid," and today I'll be giving you a special announcement about the upcoming Nintendo Switch game sweeping the world with excitement, Super Mario Odyssey! So, your crazy for Super Mario Odyssey, but your too impatient to wait till the end of the year to play the game..

Caption This! Plushie Mario Old School

HERE WE GO! Another game!

Hey fellow Mario Fanatics, It'sa me, The Mario AR-Cade.

Don't get the wrong idea by that strange intro, this is a caption contest. Not a new Mario game. Sorry to bum you out. I know, I wish it was a new Mario game as well. Anyways HERE on Mario Amino, our friends had one job. Caption the Plush Mario image in this article.

Our Caption: "Keepin it Rehl! Gamin old school."

3rd Place:

A New Mario Toon!?

A NEW Super Mario Cartoon!?

 Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics, It'sa me; The Mario AR-Cade, with some Mario news for you to chew on. This is probably known by most already, Fred Seibert (the man who's practically responsible for My Life as a Teenage Robot and many other cartoon classics) has claimed that his studio has a project going on right now, featuring one of the most world famous video game characters over the past thirty years. Who just two years ago (now) had their thirtieth anniversary? Super Mario. Here's our [SOURCE] on the matter, The Nickelodeon Animation Podcast. Now remember, the Television/film industry that Super Mario hasn't been totally well represented, however We've come a long way since those days. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't get too excited in case Nick doesn't make this the way we want it to be made, often that's the way it goes. Besides, we can't truly be certian that Mario is the subject of this new cartoon.. Still, it seems likely, to be honest.
That's all for now. Remember, Mario-Time all the time!

MK8 Switch Port LEAKED!? Battle Mode is back?

The supposed Leaked box art image

Nintendo Switch Boxart Leaks Reveal New Mario Kart Info!

Hello fellow Mario Fanatics, Kookie here with Mario-Time! Recently, the boxart for Skyrim, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Mario Kart 8 on the Switch have been leaked. Let's get right into the new Mario Kart news, shall we?

SMB movie Blu-Ray Re-Release

First thought: You've gotta be kidding

The Super Mario Bros Movie is getting a Blu-Ray Re-release in a steelbook case. Let's recap with that sentence; it's getting re-released. On Blu-Ray. With a steel casing. 😟 Why *sarcasm*. OK, so I'm not going to rant on this, I've already done that on Mario Amino. The point is,

Mario Runs to Android

Today, on Android!!!
OK.. So not.. TODAY.. But, now Android users can get closer to having Super Mario Run.

Hey, Fellow Mario Fanatics. It's The Mario AR-Cade with Mario-Time and today we have some more positive news about Super Mario Run than our previous article. If the image posted in this article isn't obvious enough for you, We (android Users) are now able to pre-register for downloading Super Mario Run. Found on the Google Play Store; I predict this game coming out to Android users possibly in January or sooner. This is a great sign, it means Nintendo still cares about their fans that don't own ios devices. That's all for now, Remember Mario-Time all the Time.

Info found by: The Happiest Kid

Super Mario Run has dropped in the charts _ Mario-Time's 200th Post

You will not believe this!!

Just a quick announcement before we start. This is officially the 200th post on Mario-Time! Thank you so much for sticking with us for all the latest Mario content! Anyway, lets-a-go!

Beware!!! - Knock Off Mario

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics! Apparently people have been making Super Mario Run knock offs for Android devices. Eventually we'll get the game. But not right now. Right now, people are making games for android that slightly, almost, kind of resemble Super Mario Run if they were from an ugly alternate universe. News sites have been claiming these are to be stayed far away from, they're containing malware and could be potentially dangerous for you and your device. Beware these apps. Avoid at all costs. And Remember, Mario-Time all the time!

Mario brings Big Surprises on Flight #2482

As they cruised past 10,000 feet in the air, the voice of Nintendo’s iconic Mario announced a big early-holiday surprise for all the passengers. Quickly all were presented with a free New Nintendo 3DS XL system to take home, along with a voucher to download the recently launched Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS game for free from Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo reps helped the passengers play and create side-scrolling 2D Mario courses on the portable system, which make great travel companions during the busy holiday travel season. Among those lucky passengers offering in-flight game tips was iJustine, a Nintendo fan and YouTube celebrity whose followers measure in the millions. And once the flight landed in Los Angeles, Mario himself was waiting to welcome them at the gate."~ (Nintendo PR) 

New Japanese Mario Happy Meal Toys

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics. A new Mario McDonalds toy line is heading to McDonalds of Japan. Great 😒We in the Americas are once again not getting the new Mario Toys unless we eBay it. One thing though..

Mario Run IRL!!

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics!

So these guys have been making Mario videos for a while now.. Their newest one is a parkour video featuring Mario rescuing Peach like he does his thing in Super Mario Run. Take a look:

You can tell that the guys here really put a lot of time into this. It's very well made. It's also sort of an odd way to go about it. Creepy that the Shy Guys come up in a vehicle and abduct the Princess like that. A bit modern and realistic, which is unlike the Mario universe. Anyway, this was a good vid.  

That's it for now. Remember, Mario-Time all the time!

Super Mario Run hits 50 Million Downloads

Hey fellow Mario Fanatics! Super Mario Run seems to be running onto IOS devices around the world at a rapid speed..

In a mere four days, Super Mario Run has surpassed the record of downloads that Pokémon Go got, getting forty million downloads. Now they're up to fifty million downloads  Some may say those were the people hoping to get the game for free and then deleting it, but it seems most likely that these are the numbers of all the paid downloads of the app/game.

Not sure if this is still going on, but with this in mind.. My Nintendo (the eShop over-all) is celebrating the launch of Super Mario Run with discounts on select games

  

"My Nintendo Celebrates Mario – To commemorate the launch of the Super Mario Run game, My Nintendo is excited to offer discount rewards for digital versions of the following Mario games:

Mario& Luigi: Superstar Saga (Wii U)Mario Tennis (Wii U)NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii U and Nintendo 3DS)

• Wrecking Crew (Wii U)"~ (Nintendo PR Website)

"Super Mario Run" ranks first in the App Store free game ranking in 140 countries and regions, and has entered the top 10 games that earned money in 100 App Store worldwide. "~ (Nintendo's Japanese News)

That's it for now. Remember, Mario-Time all the time! 

Mystery Mario Gamer

This guy is gaming right. Right on the side of a building.

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics it's me again, The Mario AR-Cade. Bringing strange news. This video was found on SFGate.com, the only thing that's said about it is the following:

"Dan Jackson recorded this video of someone playing Super Mario Bros on the side of a building in the Lower Haight."

I dunno this Dan Jackson is.. Or who this mysterious gamer is. But I do know that this guy knows how to play video games the right way, BIG. And That stranger has a bad cough. That's pretty much it, very awkward bit of news today. Remember; Mario-Time All the Time!

Super Nintendo World (Thoughts)

First thought: It's about time that Nintendo made a theme park, or at least got in one.

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics, it's The Mario AR-Cade from Mario-Time.
By now everyone's probably heard about Nintendo's partnership with Universal Parks.

Mario IRL FOR REAL

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics, have you ever just walked outdoors and pretended to be in a real life level of Super Mario? NO?! Well yeah, I get it, I'm weird😏. Anyways, Nintendo seems to be expanding on their past where the brought Super Mario 3D World into real life in New York, and the rumors were true it's all gonna happen at Universal Parks Orlando and in Japan. That's right Mario Geeks nerds and obsessed fans alike, We're getting real life Mario. As shown in the background of Nintendo's Universal parks announcement video.

Mario Sunshine is Unreal!!

Hey Fellow Mario Fanatics,

In Unreal Engine 4, YouTuber CryZENx has remade some ellements of Super Mario Sunshine. You can tell they weren't entirely done yet, as some of the actions don't have reactions. Like spraying a Pinata won't make it shake the water off and get all mad. But the overall (Mario pun) look of the remake, is incredible. This video was published on November 20th. Similarly to how previously people have remade the old Super Mario 64 elements in Unreal Engine. Until next time, This has been AR-Cade. Remember, Mario-Time All The time!

Miyamoto's Birthday

Miyamoto turns 64 Today, his contribution to video games will always be one of the greatest. Today he's known for Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Star Fox and more. In this post we wish to say Happy Birthday to him. And thank him for Super Mario. If he's reading this, we're sincerely greatful for the years of fun his games have provided us with. And Thank you to Nintendo for publishing the games as well. But honestly, it wouldn't be the same without you Miyamoto.

New GameStop Mario Ornaments

Hey Mario Fanatics! Our Source is BlackFriday.com, This was revealed to me just today. New Mario themed ornaments (Not the previously leaked Hallmark ones for 2017). These are out this year from GameStop. Their last batch of ornaments for 2015 were for the 30th anniversary of SMB. These however just seem to be based off of a standard Super Mario theme. Some of it seems to take strongly from a Mario Party style theme, Among the set of ornaments there's a stand alone Mario figure ornament. While he looks cool standing there with his arms up in the air, it (just TBH) looks pretty much like a homemade Mario figure ornament that people make sometimes. Just keeping it real here for a moment, they seem to be lacking in Christmas spirit. Not to say they're not good, and we'll probably still buy em.. However they do seem to have some room for improvement. A Mario fan not being that impressed is something to witness for sure. I'll still eventually buy them though. Because I'm obsessed. That's all for now; Remember Mario-Time all the time!

Theft of Inflated Joy

Hey Mario Fanatics!, Two days ago. Level 7 Games of Denver Colorado (a video game store obviously) had one of their prized possessions stolen from them (well we'd prize it anyways). Their large Super Mario inflatable was stolen from in front of their store. They describe the inflated hero saying:

" recognized by his can-do attitude and unusually bright pink skin. Please contact your local Level 7 Games with any information to his whereabouts, we miss him dearly!"~Level 7 Games 

This theft is ridiculous and wrong. We all hope that this establishment's Mario is returned safe and sound. Mama Mia the world's crazy.

Super Mario Switch Speculations (Fan made opinion piece)

Super Mario Switch    

“The NXt Mario Game”

“Super Mario Switch. It’s the name given by the fans that do not know the actual name of the game as of yet. The very game that Mario fans everywhere have been speculating over. So why don’t we get in on the fun? We’re gonna go into detail, just like everyone else. But we realize you have a life so we’ll keep this opinion piece at a mere 9,002 pages long.

Yeah, okay, I’m just kidding. Without further ado, here’s our first in-depth analysis on Super Mario Switch (Tittle not final).”~ AR-Cade

Mario Party Rushes to store shelves

Hey Mario Fanatics, AR-Cade here. In case you didn't know, Mario Party: Star Rush is coming out today November 4th 2016. At least this is the case in the West. Along with the game, we're getting the brand new Super Mario amiibo. Which includes the first ever Waluigi amiibo. Waluigi fans are excited. Something I found in the news article from Nintendo was that people who don't have the game can get a FREE copy that doesn't give them the game, but does let them play with their friends who do have the game!! This is incredible, not sure if Nintendo's done this before or not. 

"*Download a free multiplayer-only version of the game on the Nintendo eShop to play with someone who owns the full game! Wireless Internet access required for online features. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com."~Nintendo
