Rik Mayall the award winning English comedian, writer and actor sadly passed away yesterday at 56 years old.
You may remember Rik from shows such as Black
Adder, The Young Ones, Bottom (it was Bottom for me, what a show) or maybe even this crazy early 90's Nintendo
commercial for the SNES Starwing and
Super Mario Allstars bundle.
R.I.P Rik.

Super Mario Adventures & Nintendo Power Article sections reopened and remastered with higher resolution, top quality images
- Details
- Written by Luke Hackett
After a long and gruelling week of remastering and restoring all of our Super Mario Nintendo Power articles section where we have cuttings of every Super Mario series feature since the very first issue of NP way back in July 1988 we're finally done.
We've also restored all of the Mario Adventure Comics. You can now enjoy much higher resolution versions than we had previously so check out both sections and indulge in the retro goodness that dreams are made of.
I'd also like to share a couple of the latest videos we've added to our YouTube channel while I'm here!
A retro Japanese Super Mario Kart commercial with admittedly quite a lot more cartoon anime than actual game footage. But cool none the less right?
A video featuring all the Super Mario Kart series' rainbow road theme music from the SNES version right up to Mario Kart 8!
And last, but by no means least... a Mercedes Benz car commercial featuring a very aggressive looking Super Mario

Just a general site update for today... we've run a number of features on quotes from King Koopa in all the Super Mario cartoons in recent weeks. I have extracted all the sounds into MP3 format now and put them on a page for people to use as they will.
We've also added a set of sprites from 1997 Japanese Mario title Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium
One of our affiliate sites, Nintendo Castle has recently redone their forum which is fast becoming a bustling hub of Nintendo gamer activity, you can check it out by clicking here
