Mario-Time-Halo

Here We Go!!

OK, Reddit user Bearskopff has uploaded an image of a level he created in Halo 5 Forge to Reddit VIA Imgur.

"I was feeling nostalgic so decided to try and recreate the infamous castle from Super Mario 64 in Halo 5 Forge. Had quite a bit of fun and as many headaches trying to piece it all together but am pretty pleased with the final result - hope you are too! My GT is 'Bearskopff' so feel free to download it, add a few game mechanics and give it a play. Enjoy :)"~Bearskopff 

Of course he's left out some elements like the waterfall and stained glass windows. But we've gotta give him credit for trying so hard.  He did a good job, and it must've taken a while to create a level with such similarities to the original game.

Mario GAME Maker

Here We Go!!

A Patent for a console just surfaced today, that Nintendo made. From it's description I can only say it's a Mario game maker. Not like Super Mario Maker though. Like it literally lets the users build their own games. However, it's somewhat ridiculous now because Nintendo would sell less games if every console owner out there could simply make their own games. The strange thing is, this patent has a Mario style about it and it was supposedly made back in 1994.

Mario Kart 64 on Wii U

Mario Kart 64 is coming to Nintendo of Europe's Wii U eShop

On their Twitter account they say that the game comes out on Wii U this Thursday. To many this was the revolutionary Mario Kart game. It was the first to be in FULL 3D, and the sequel to the first Mario Kart game.

Mario's Pigeon Costume!

Here We Go!!

Super Mario Maker has gotten a large number of strange costumes that Mario can wear in the original Mario bros theme. This costume however, takes the cake. Today on Super Mario Maker, (Nintendo of Europe announced on Twitter) we'll be getting a pigeon costume. The famous Super Mario Maker pigeon known as Yamamura (Which we believe is named after an older Nintendo employee) is getting his own costume which you can get by beating the latest event course in Course World. Coo!

From 13/1, soar to new heights with the Yamamura costume by beating the latest #SuperMarioMaker Event Course! Coo! pic.twitter.com/N0yiZ7NhrC

Africa just got some flipping fun

Here We Go!!

Mcdonald's of Africa got new Mario Kart 8 Happy meal toys for January 2016, which we've already had here in the USA. Perhaps this is the first they've gotten these toys over there but that's not the most interesting part of this post, the karts are being sold with other strange generic vehicles which are completely unrelated to Mario Kart.

Mario-Time in Norway

Here We Go!!

When we say Mario-Time, we literally mean Mario-Time. The Town Hall's clock in Norway is  chiming famous music right now and every night at 8pm it chimes the tune of the original SMB ground theme by Koji Kondo. So in Norway, 8pm is Mario-Time. I guess this playlist with Mario will be out until may 31st. If you live in Norway, please send Mario-Time a video of this chime in action. Our email is mariotimenews@gmail.com

Happy Meal Mario JP trailer

Here We Go!!

Super Mario's got new Happy meal toys out in Japan right now, that's old news. Well today is THE day they're out in Japan and they got a new Japan TV trailer. Which only makes us wonder more why they're not out in other countries like Canada and America. Either way, this trailer is cute and clearly shows that everybody loves Super Mario. Like me. So bring them over here already!!

NSMB Wii on Wii U

Here We Go!!

A lot of classics are coming to the Wii U eShop lately, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario RPG and DS games too. NSMB for the DS was put on the Wii U, so it's only fair for the unrelated sequel game also come out to the Wii U now. Nintendo of France tweeted this game was now on Wii U, also a few others. We've done the research and it looks like NSMB Wii is no out in the Americas on the Wii U eShop quite yet. Pretty sure it's definitely coming though. If you want the previous game in the series for NSMB U, this game is for you. Fun fact, NSMB Wii is Super Mario Bros 4.

Sky Pop!

It's-a-Mario-Time!

The Sky Pop has finally arrived in Super Mario Maker from the ol' Game Boy game Classic: Super Mario Land. This costume looks like the sky pop, sounds like the Sky Pop, it just doesn't do one particular thing. Fly. No offense, but to my knowledge planes do one thing above all else. FLY! Otherwise, the trailer for the costume from Nintendo of Japan shows that the Sky Pop costume is quite like the original Sky Pop. 

Another thing, This costume is given upon beating the new Event Course made by Super Mario fans at Southwestern Airlines. This course is called Southwest Air Adventure.

Nintendo World/ NY Store

Here We Go!! 

The Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza in New York got a serious makeover and re-branding. It's now called "The Nintendo NY Store". Kind of not-as-cool of a title, I know. Nevertheless, this is the title they've chosen according to the Nintendo Press Room. Perhaps this new title means that they'll open up more store locations, but that's doubt-able. Still, there are some new Mario related things that they're introducing in this overhaul. A giant

Fan Faves Results

Here We Go!!

Two Super Mario games, and one Yoshi game got in the Nintendo Fan Faves of 2015. The winners were Super Mario Maker, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and Yoshi's Woolly World. These picks were pretty good picks, I must say. However they did not win the spot of "Most popular" game of the year. That was Splatoon. I've played Yoshi's Woolly World and Super Mario Maker and I believe they're both amazing games! Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is still on my to-play list but I will play it eventually. These results were well made.

Mario Kart Garage

Here We Go!!

It's-a-Mario-Time! HarmarFan on Talk amongst yourselves made a toy garage for his son based off of Mario Kart. To me, its most amazing feature is the Mario sign of him carrying the tire. It looks as though he bought it, but I've never seen anything like it.  Other than in the game of course. This garage is quite impressive, it was a gift for his son on Christmas 2015.

"I’m so pleased with the final result I can’t even tell you! I’m so relived that it all came together in the end as well. As you can see the finished garage is pretty close to my initial design and I’ve managed to include all of the different elements I originally planned for in some way."~HarmarFan

You ever get Super Mario sized Happy when you eat a happy meal? Well anyone over in Japan sure does. For 2014 they got a set of Mario Mcdonalds toys and now for 2016 they're getting another set. According to the Japan Happy Meal site they're getting Mario Mcdonalds toys on January 8th. We hope these toys reach the US someday soon, until then we'll look forward to buying them off of eBay.

Mario & Sonic At The Rio Olympics, Full length Trailer

Here We Go!!

Nintendo of Japan put out a new full length trailer for Mario And Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic games for 3DS. A couple things that I noticed in this trailer is that the Golf portion of the game looks a lot like Mario Golf World Tour and that the 3DS will have four player local multiplayer.

Mario's Happy Home

Here We Go!!

Okie-Dokie, so you may or may not have already known this but Louie is an ape that brings in Super Mario content to Animal Crossing Happy Home designer via WiFi . However it was for the 30th anniversary and it's now unavailable. The Pro Nintendo Store DLC is the current FREE DLC and it will be available until the 12th of January.

Nintendo of Japan shared on Twitter that they've updated their Happy Home Designer website saying that the SMB 30th anniversary DLC will be out again on January 5th in Japan.
TWEET GOOGLE TRANSLATION:

"We've updated the page of "Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer". This article contains information about the re-distribution of "Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary Items"

This is probably for those who got the game for Christmas. I can't be positive but the DLC for Mario's 30th anniversary may come back out in the Americas shortly after January 12th.

No Need To Question This Price Drop.

Here We Go!!

It's Mario-Time! This amiibo carrying case can be purchased for nearly 30 US dollars at Best Buy stores and online too. It was originally $24.99 on Amazon but the price has dropped to just $13.99, no need to clear eyes, you read that correctly. On Amazon you can now buy the Hori amiibo carrying case that looks like an old school question block. This design is accurate and looks amazing. The case can only hold up to 8 amiibo figures but I've seen it in person before and can say without a doubt that it's sturdy, well made and good looking too.

DK, Bowser, Skylanders which are also amiibo

You can now buy Donkey Kong and Bowser Skylanders/amiibo outside of their Nintendo starter packs. This has been proven, packs of Bowser and DK have been found in store without the Skylanders game or the portal for the game.

Mario Disabled!?

Here We Go!!

Seeing this video actually scared me a little. If they wanted to make an impression they made one.
This video was made to show the world that we need better access for the disabled. It uses Super Mario to get the message across. I don't mean to sound like a jerk but Mario doesn't seem like the character to make this statement with. Also, seeing Mario get hurt in this video makes me hurt too, I guess that's sort of what they wanted.

"Real talk I gotta give s ACCESSIBILITY.
A new video, this time on the subject who is very close to our hearts."~ Rough translation

Super Mario sounds are now on iphone (I know what you're thinking, that's nothing new, but WAIT FOR IT), via Jailbreak you can now set up your phone to get notifications with Mario Bros coin sound and once it reaches a set amount of coins it'll make the 1Up sound. Pretty sweet. 1Up can be set to give the coins for multiple app's notifications.

Super Mario ReMaker

Here We Go!!

A fellow Super Mario Fan going by the alias of LuNiney on YouTube has put out a demo of a project he's working on called "Super Mario ReMaker". It only has the SMB (1) game style and copies various elements from from Super Mario Maker as well as adds some new elements; not found in Super Mario Maker. This game is listed on his site as a Fan-Game. These form of projects are usually not for copying complete games, he's also stated he also doesn't want to add any more themes to it than the SMB theme it already has in it. It looks like, if he doesn't go and charge for this game then it's perfectly legal for him to make it. Furthermore he listed all of the materials used as copyrighted by Nintendo. If it's free, his own fan-made thing and doesn't contain all of what is in Mario Maker... Go for it. Here's the first look at the fan-made game, Super Mario ReMaker:

Here We Go!!


Man, that was an amazing Christmas. Mario-Time took some time off for the Holiday but we're back and ready to get sharing. Another thing, we'v gotten more games to review thanks to Christmas so we should be putting out new reviews soon. AR-Cade will also be sharing his yearly Christmas haul on Mario-Time-World, Now, for our weekly featured Super Mario Maker Course.

This week it's all about the mountains, We got two course submissions from two different Mario Makers around the same time. The first mountain was easiest and most enjoyable so that's the one we're sharing today.

Course ID: 60F1-0000-0129-B381

Mario's High Altitude A dventures is interesting and exciting. They're are secrets in this course, challenges that offer puzzling ways to reach the goal and it does feel like adventures at high altitudes, with the ship theme, the mountain and platforms in the clouds. This course is worth checking out.

Quiz:

Name one power-up from SMB that has had a name change past the first game, no cheaters. Don't you go and look it up.
