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!

You can find both shows over on the Glitterjaw website, which Super Mario Moment is also a proud part of:

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.

Did you know that six years before Super Smash Bros, there was a fighting game bringing together various Mario characters for an all-out brawl to the death!?

If you didn't, you are forgiven for not knowing about the bizarre, Chinese bootleg fan game KART FIGHTER - infamous to some as the worst fighting game of all time, beloved by others for being that Street Fighter mashup of our dreams.

And I'll be chatting about this crossover with Chris Osborne, the host of the fantastic Play Comics which dives into the entire history of video-games inspired by comic books. I was recently a guest discussing Astro Boy: Omega Factor for the GBA and other Glitterjaw crew have featured on it too!
