It feels strange to call one of the most beloved Mario games of all time "underrated" but sandwiched between the beloved Mario RPG and Thousand-Year Door, the original N64 Paper Mario can sometimes feel like it is. But does this game have its own special something?

On today's episode, I chat with Josh Covel from the Still Loading podcast all about this cozy, quirky classic!

Super Mario Bros. 3 was the original GTA 6. Delayed for years in the West, the long-awaited TRUE sequel to Mario Bros. came with it's own cartoon series, comics, Happy Meal toys and live-action promotional movie - so when the game finally came out, it sure was lucky that it was one of the best of all time.

On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat World Maps, Frog Suits and Koopalings with the co-host of the often mentioned Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge and Distant Echoes - Tommy Proffitt!

Super Mario Bros 2 is the black sheep of the original Mario platformers - the weird one, the one that's different, the one that's not really a Mario game. But could this be why it has such a special place in the hearts of queer fans?

On today's SUPER MARIO MOMENT we chat Mario's dreamscape, Peach's floating and Birdo's gender identity with podcaster and essayist Drew Mackie!

Drew is the man behind Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games, a video game blog with a difference! He writes incredible essays about queerness, gaming and the type of deep dives we love on this show.
