Mario - Side Jobs

Acrobat? You'd figure with his superior jumping skills he'd do some moonlighting in acrobatics. Especially in Mario RPG.

I just realized Tetris Attack didn't have Mario in it anywhere! And neither did the update with Puzzle League. Awesome.

Another great Neo thread. Nice job.

As for sports games, Mario was a line judge in Tennis on the Gameboy.

Too bad Mario Artist didn't come here, it looked pretty cool. I loved Mario Paint. Did anybody else animate crappy pornos on it? I even made soundtracks for them with the included music mixer.

Another great retro-profile-variety thread, Neo. Those tabletop G&W games must fetch mad cash (you actually *own* the color cement table top game?). Wish I'd never sold my G&W Super Mario Bros which I owned way back in '91. It had semi-changing levels, lakitus, even warp zones! Quite a bit of exploring to be had for an LCD game.

Wish I'd never sold this:

The game kind of sucked anyway.

It's actually a port of the G&W Dual Screen Mario Bros, one of the few horizontal-oriented clamshell designs.

Ah, thanks. I know I have seen that before. I just don't remember if I saw the real thing or just pictures. I keep looking for potential box art for the C64 one but I can't find anything.

Not to get off topic, but was that Super Mario C64 game with the Pink Bubbles and French Fry looking ememies an actually release or a homebrew?

Great Thread BTW.

It was a homebrew hack of The Great Giana Sisters which was an actual release. Nintendo sued or threatened to sue over the game(Giana, not the pirated Mario hack).
