Retronauts Episode 806: Mario 101 Part 2
Adapted from a Japanese podcast called Doki Doki Retro
Back in episode 792 we had an extended gab session with our friend Drew Mackie about his extensive Mario 101 blogposts on his website Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games. He's covered so much in that series that we couldn't possibly discuss them all in one sitting. Hence a sequel featuring even more miscellaneous Nintendo knowledge.
Bob Mackey returns as host, Drew returns as primary guest, and Diamond Feit (hi!) is here too because why not. Drew's added more items to his blog since this series began, so perhaps we'll record a third conversation soon! Everyone likes Mario, right? You bet you do.
Description: A few months ago, guest Drew Mackie stunned us with his collection of Mario-related facts, intended to shatter what we THINK we know about Nintendo's famous plumber (and friends). Our feeble brains have had a while to recover, so it's once again time to discuss his Mario 101 series from Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Diamond Feit, and Drew as the crew assembles to once again destroy Nintendo misinformation.
