Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Since Puzzling Park is more difficult than the average stage in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, we’ve written up a guide on where to find all five flower tokens. Most of Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s stages are pretty easy, but then there are the Search Party stages, which take a surprisingly long time to complete in comparison. That’s because these stages sort of require the presence of four players: there are hidden blocks everywhere and most of them are rather difficult to find.

Super Mario Bros. composer on making of Ground Theme
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
In an interview with NHK, longtime Super Mario Bros. composer Koji Kondo discussed the original game’s music and the making of the Ground Theme.

Thanks to Did You Know Gaming, we have insight into a couple of short-lived Retro Studios projects – specifically Adept and “The Blob Game”.
Adept was playable in a rough state, but was ultimately just a pitch that Nintendo turned out. It was running in the Metroid Prime 3 engine and was intended to show off mechanics. In late 2007 and into early 2008, Retro was working on Adept that took inspiration from Portal while evolving on the premise – primarily by introducing combat.
