Do you smell that? It's the fresh smell that's coming from these boxarts. The Super Mario Galaxy (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smg) one may hold secrets about gameplay and such, so make sure to check out that one. The Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkbb) one? Well, Nintendo's just hoping you'll buy the game. You will, won't you?
See them in all their original size glory at the links below!

Aw, come on! They're putting the manual on the box now?
-
That SMG box art is amazing! It throws me back to 1996 when I unwrapped Super Mario 64... (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6a/Super_Mario_64_box_cover.jpg)
-
That box art you just displayed shot nostalgia right up my nose, NE89.
-
I love Mario.
-
Hmmm...I wonder what that little, yellow Hershey's Kiss is...
It reminds me of Makar. :)
-
Guess I'ts now longer the working title. That's good to hear.
Why even bother to have rating pending? We all know what it's gonna be.
-
You can't stuff words into the ESRB's mouth. They'll sue Nintendo and everyone who has ever bought a game of theirs.

Indeed, it'll be rated M.
SMG boxart: Ah, Mario smiling. It's a sight to behold. I say this because Mario had an angry, thug look on his face for the SMS boxart, which I felt was very out of character for the mustached plumber. It's as if he was trying to say, "What are you looking at, punk?" That's my opinion, anyway.
DKBB boxart: They're putting instructions on the box, now? I wonder when the day will come when the game's full strategy guide will be on the box, too.
-
OH NOES! I HAVE BROUGHT THE WRATH OF -- ARGH!
-
I remember the old boxart for galaxy. I can see why they changed it. Its more colorful and looks better. Also shows more of the actual levels in the game.
-

Oh dude, are you like, serious?! :O
-
Love, love, love Galaxy. Reminds me of SM64. ...And what were they GOING to call it--besides Super Mario Galaxy? I never even considered that one "working".
-
What's that? "Working?" Hmmm... well if you think about it, Galaxy works just as well as World, Land, and much better than Sunshine. If Super Mario 128 is what you're thinking, that's become the name of experiments and stuff... There won't be a game by the title (as far as we know today).
Yes, the Galaxy box is pretty awesome. Very loudly does it shout, "MARIO GAME!!" A fine decision to bring back "MARIO." Looking back, Sunshine's box was so dull...
-
Wow! I just saw the old Super Mario Galaxy box in Gamestop the other day, and judging by both of them, this new one looks a lot better! It's more colorful and livelike than the previous 2 3D Mario platformers!
-
Hmmm...I wonder what that little, yellow Hershey's Kiss is...
It reminds me of Makar. :)
True, I also thought that those melted, deformed stars Hershey Kisses with limbs. Lol.
-
Is it me or is Mario just a little odd looking in this boxart? Like, too round and shiny?
-
Yeah, the lighting and lack of texture makes it look like he's made out of PVC.
-
Mabey it's a hint that they are going to start making PVC toys again, just like they did in the 80's.
Whoo-hoo! Break out the homemade costumes, it's time to do the Mario again!
-
They never really stopped making them... at least in Japan.

Obviously someone has not checked TMK's merch page recently, brought to you by the letters "S" & "J" ;)

For the last time... SMS should've been Super Mario Island!
-
...or archipelago
-
...There was only one notable island off of Delfino's coast, Pinna Island.

Actually, pause this video at 00:28:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJQNhBRZgd4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJQNhBRZgd4)
We can see Isle Delfino's surrounding islands, which are also shaped like animals, like turtles, crabs and jellyfish. From the way the islands are spread out, Isle Delfino might be part of an archipelago. Maybe.
BTW, I've heard people say "This box for SMG is much better then the old one" and stuff like that. Does anyone have an image of SMG's original boxart?
-
I think those other islands are too far away from Isle Delfino to really count all of them as an archipelago.

Kinda looked like this.
-
What? No, that's a terrible fake. It looked like this:
-
He said
Kinda
-
But it wasn't kinda. Mario is different, the background is different, the foreground is different, the logo is different, and the Wii bar is just plain fake.
-
kinda -- adverb
to some (great or small) extent
Mario is wearing the same clothes and has his hands in the same position.
The background is space.
The foreground has some multi-colored stars.
The logo has the return of the multi-color MARIO and very similar font.
It says Wii in the top right corner of a white bar.
-
People, people, geez... I'm talkin' the FIRST, FIRST boxart here. Am I the only one who saw it?
-
Whatever you saw wasn't real.
-
Obviously someone has not checked TMK's merch page recently, brought to you by the letters "S" & "J" ;)
You're right. I haven't. Sorry. :p
Have they started making PVC figures again? Is there one of Peach, becuase that was the only one I was missing to have a near complete collection (enough of a cast to hold my own Mario show, anyway..)
I guess I could go check the page myself.. -_-;;
-

Actually, Sunshine fits in a bit better:
Land - World (Planet) - Sunshine (Solar System) - Galaxy
Of course, I don't think they could do a Super Mario Universe without it being a rehash of Galaxy... so maybe Universe could be an MMO... Or maybe they'll just choose a name that completely screws up the whole method and proves that they weren't actually thinking about it.
-
Super Mario Forever? Hyper Mario Bros.? Super Mario Jr. even?
-
Whatever you saw wasn't real.
*Puts fists to temples and grimaces* No duh. Who said it had to be an offical Nintendo-released boxart!?
-
Umm it was implied by the guy you were originally responding to.
-
Why not add a bunch of cliched and overused movie titles at the end!
Super Mario: The Revenge
Super Mario: Resurrection
The Return of Super Mario
Super Mario Reloaded
Super Mario: Nemesis
-
Super Mario Never Dies!
-
That's what they call it when I play, baby.

That's games being melded. I'm talkin' Mario references spliced with movies.
-
Heh..
Thank you, Mario!
But our princess is in
another castle!

Shocking revelation about the Super Mario Galaxy cover art:
If you take out every letter that doesn't have one of those twinkle effects on the bottom of it, you are left with
UR MR GAY
Heard this somewhere.
-
Holy carpool lane, it's true.
-
Well, as no one else seems to be noticing, I guess I'll have to be the one to point out how much danger DK is in. Should he get too close to a stray branch, he could be in a whole world of hurt. One little snag on that tie and his head snaps back hard enough to keep that grin off his face for good.
Remember kids, when racing at high speeds on homemade rockets built from barrels and bananas, be safe. Tape down your clothing.
