I would like to congratulate our friends at the Bottle Crew for their recent success with the Mariothon - 72 hours of live streaming gaming; this year in the theme of Yoshi and Kirby.
They managed to raise $1,769.69 for the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation. A great effort from both teams but seeing team Yoshi the winners
Money raised: Team Yoshi - $1,025.40 / Team Kirby - $744.29
Well done all, we look forward to their next event which will be a Mario vs. Zelda: Zelda's Revenge themed gaming marathon and should be happening in early 2014.

Start of July '13 small update

Just a little update today, we are very
close to 3,500 likes on our Facebook page, and have broken the 500x +1's on
our
Google+ Super Mario Community, so thanks everyone for that!
There's been a few things added to the site since the last update too included
an article about
Super Mario Games which were never released but definitely should have been
by the New York Film Academy's video game development department published
exclusively on TMB.
I also added some more of the old comics from Super Mario Portal, I have now
restored all the fan art, fiction, comics that I can actually recover - sadly
there was no backups in place so we have to rely on web.archive.org to get back
what we could. Sadly a lot of stuff appears lost forever (if anyone knows any
other way to recover old image files off the net, please contact me).
The last to be added were Comix Inc's comic collection, Akin and Deji Morrison's comic collections, and about 15-16 one off comics all from the old Super Mario Portal days.

Hey all, just a quick update to let you know that Luke is not able to update at
the moment (some problem with his hands) so has left things in the capable hands
of myself (Mariomaster91)
I have added a lot of new stuff following last weeks
E3 conference in LA in which Nintendo left Microsoft and Sony to compare their
expensive media centres and focused on their expanding their games library for
the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U which in my opinion was exactly the right thing to do
- its way too soon for another console.
Nintendo announced a wide range of new games coming soon for the Nintendo 3DS
and Wii U from many popular franchises, here's what Nintendo have in the
pipeline for Mario fans:- For the 3DS: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Super Smash Bros 3DS and Yoshi's
New Island.
I have added the following media for these titles for your enjoyment:-
