Game Blog / Re: Paper Mario for Wii Virtual Console - $8 on Amazon

Stop messing up the thread or I'll ban you into next year.

Literally.

I'm new here but i've been listening to WTMK for a while, and pretty cool stuff, especially the music from import Mario games like Mario's Super Picross and not to mention it was you guys who introduced me to Game & Watch!!! Anyway i have a question regarding the radio, see i want to listen to WTMK at school becuase i can't live without anything Mario and i would like to listen at school. Have you ever considered a mp3 version of WTMK so people can put it on there i-pods? I think it would be a great idea and i'm sure everyone thinks so too :)

There all all sorts of legal issues involved in things like that, so suffice it to say that we won't be doing that.  However, you can always download TMK's Mailbag Podcast! (http://themushroomkingdom.net/mailbag_podcast_001.shtml)

Game Blog / Paper Mario for Wii Virtual Console - $8 on Amazon
« on: August 26, 2010, 03:07:38 PM »
Amazon appears to be selling the Virtual Console release of Paper Mario for just $7.99.  The game costs $10 in the Wii Shop Channel, so this indicates a clear savings of $2.01.  In addition, the download codes for Amazon's WiiWare and Virtual Console purchases can be given as gifts . . . so if anyone felt like rewarding any of the TMK staff for their excellent work (cough cough), it would be fairly easy to e-mail a code to any of the staff.  (Cough).

Note: it wasn't Wiebe's record he broke here. Hank Chien was the record-holder.

True.

I'm still waiting for Wiebe to attempt to regain the crown, regardless.

It appears that the battle for the "King of Kong" continues to rage: Billy Mitchell now holds the high score for both arcade Kongs.  On August 7, 2010 at Boomers-Grand Prix Arcade in Florida, Mitchell set record scores of 1,062,800 on Donkey Kong and 1,270,900 on Donkey Kong Junior.  How long before Steve Wiebe attempts to retake the crown is anyone's guess.

Chris Covell's page Your Weekly Famicom recently updated with a translation of a Japanese children's book on game design.  The Stars of Famicom Games - How Video Games are Made is packed full of interesting photos of EAD staff working on Super Mario Bros. 3.  Go take a look and be amazed!

Game Blog / The Mario Marathon - Raising Money for Child's Play
« on: June 22, 2010, 03:24:35 AM »
The third annual Mario Marathon, raising money for the children's charity Child's Play, takes place this Friday at 11AM EDT.  Three crazy (but loveable) guys plan to play through most of the major Super Mario titles as the world watches.  The greater the donations, the more games and levels they'll play through; at the moment, just over $2500 have been pledged, meaning that these brave men will be "b-dashing" through:
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Super Mario World
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario 64 (partially)

Of course, an obvious question arises: why the lack of Super Mario Sunshine?  We obviously can't let these guys run a Mario marathon without subjecting them to a 100% SMS Blue Coin Run of Death, right?  This is the time for action - go visit the Mario Marathon website and pledge your support (watching them struggle to gather the blue coins is only PART of the fun, of course).  WTMK should be running a themed audio broadcast to tie in to the epic marathon, if I can convince the fungus to back down off the server for a moment.

Game Blog / Two New Mario Cover/Remix/Theme Albums!
« on: May 07, 2010, 07:25:06 PM »
WTMK is pleased to update with two new sets of Mario related music!

* The OneUps have released a new album, dedicated entirely to music from Super Mario Kart.  Jazz! Rock! Spooky bits on strings!  If you've enjoyed their other albums, you've probably already purchased your copy.  If not, you can always get a copy of the Super Mario Kart Album on the band's BandCamp page. $9.99 for digital download (mp3, FLAC, etc.) or a physical CD.

* Jay "Mercury" Hunter has recently released his free remix album entitled Mushroom Nostalgia Mixtape.  More information is available on his Facebook page.  Despite the title, Mario tracks aren't the entirety of the CD, which features a few Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog tunes as well.  Go grab a copy and listen to it for yourself.

Both albums are now streaming on WTMK . . . along with my attempt at deciphering exactly what the Yoshies are warbling during the end-of-level music in Yoshi's Story.

Game Blog / Re: New WTMK Playlist Up

Nifty. Say, I recently heard the 600 A.D. overworld theme from Chrono Trigger on WTMK. I'm not complaining, but was it for any particular reason?

I can't imagine why it would have been -- do you remember the track name or anything like that?

There are a few medley tracks, which often mix Mario tunes with those from other games, but it's always possible something went wrong on the server...

Edit: You probably heard "Beware the Outer Wall Windmill's Z Blocks (circa 600 A.D.)" - it's a remix medley track with music from Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, and a few other games, and it's from the March 2010 Dwelling of the Duels competition.

Game Blog / Don't Stomp The Spinies
« on: April 22, 2010, 12:28:57 AM »
(11:13:44 PM) Drill: So
(11:13:48 PM) Drill: My foot is bleeding
(11:14:26 PM) BP: Don't stomp the Spinies
(11:14:46 PM) David: Sounds like the name of a new video game cover band


There really needs to be a video game cover band named "Don't Stomp the Spinies."

They need to do a cover of the nearly-final boss track music from the Game Boy Donkey Kong game.

They also need a track called "Jump, Jump, Jump, Don't Die!"

Did it have anything at all to do with penes?

Nah. Someone was silly.

Nice to see you back.
