Today we are heading back to 1995 and the colourful landscapes of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. So grab hold of your green dinosaurs and don’t lose your eggs as we explore 9 facts and trivia from the game that sold around 4 million copies and is often considered one of the best Nintendo games ever made!

Otis the Pug plays a Super Nintendo, Yoshi gets a kiss and Super Mario bonus games are played. What more could you ask for? Join me as I play 5 of the best old school Super Mario Bonus game type things! To be fair, some of these are more like “secret areas” but I think I can get away with it. Games include Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario World, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden coins and more!

Today we are going to take a look at some of Mario’s buddies that have helped us along in our journey through the Mushroom Kingdom! From helpful hounds to grateful Goomba’s we cover a few of the forgotten comrades that has helped Mario over the years.

Take a ride with us as we look a little bit closer at the origins of Yoshi with these 10 facts!

Mario crazyness after the jump…

Our friends over at supermayhem.com made an awesome post the other day featuring “16 tongue stretchingly good Yoshi Cakes” that we just loved so much we had to sort of steal/borrow it!

Instead of giving you the same great gallery in image form however we decided to turn it into a video with a but of a dull narration and some soft sweet Yoshi game sounds.

Sounds cool right? So are these CVGS guys! Go and give our Facebook page a like!

Somehow I have always enjoyed watching people play video games! At times, it’s actually more enjoyable for me then being the one controlling the “mennies” (that means “characters” for those of you not familiar with my Dad’s video game slang)! What does this little anecdote have to do with this post? Not much really, other than with this awesome collection of 32 animated Mario gif’s you can almost get the illusion of someone playing super Mario for you. Check out the cheeky Wario gif after the jump 😉
