With us recently celebrating the first MAR10 Day since the launch of this podcast - as well as 2025 being the 40th anniversary year of the Mario series - I thought it'd be nice to share some Mario memories together! Mario has been a constant in my life my entire life and it turns out y'all feel the same way. Plus: thoughts on fine video games such as Mario's Picross and Sorry We're Closed, as well as a few Nintendo news items!
