The Nintendo Fan

OH MY

2008-11-11T13:46:00.000-08:00

Has it really been one year since this blog was made?

I don't plan to bring it back, and I just wanted to apologize for just banishing like that. I just want to say that this chat's dead. I'm...one year late for the news but still.

I'm one year older and so is this site. But it doesn't matter. The site will remain here though and so will the old posts.

And no. I haven't beaten Wind Waker yet bt that's because I haven't played it in months. :P But while you're at it, if you want, visit my forum at . No users yet but I hope to make it big, big like how Nintendo Fan once was.

Or visit , a site for Mario fans.

The Olympics Have Arrived

2007-12-28T10:22:00.000-08:00

I'm finally back. I was celebrating Christmas somewhere far, far away in a land where no computers exist.

Well, this Christmas I got some presents. And not much of them are good but hey, it's something. Also, someone gave me Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Christmas. Well, can't say I really wanted the game.

First of all, let me talk about the Instruction Manual: It's black and white! But the worst part is the "Character Section". All the Mario Character Artwork is all blurry and weird, while the Sonic Character Artwork is nice and clean. I bet Sega did this on purpose.

Now for the game itself. It's basically a Mario Party game without the game boards and with Sonic and his friends/enemies. But the mini-games are actually fun and there's many unlockables. Also the 3D Character animation is nice and clean. I like it!

I've only played the game a little bit and it's fun. I can't say yet if I recommend it or not. I have to play the game a little more...

The Mario Freak

2007-12-10T17:11:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it's been a long while since my last post but here I am again! Lately, I've been playing The Wind Waker lately but not a lot. I have lots of important things to do.

So yesterday I dressed up like Mario (overalls, A cap with a letter M on it, white gloves, red shirt and brown and black shoes). Ok, this is kind of embarrasing. Oh and I wear glasses so, I actually dressed up as Mario with glasses. Ok, this is embarassing...

When I went to GameStop, the people there called me Mario. So, anyway, I bought a Link 18 x 24 Sticker. I'll be sure to take a picture of it when I get the chance.

Anyway, you can call me stupid for dressing up as Mario if you want. I don't mind.

And then I shot him in the head and...

2007-11-28T19:13:00.000-08:00

Yeah well, about four days ago I beat Link's Crossbow Training. Well, I finished all the levels but I haven't gotten all medals. Well anyway, of course the game was short and definatly not a very good game. It still was fun though. Boss Battles were my favorite part of the game.

I was disappointed in the fact that the game was short (but I was expecting it to be from the day the game was announced) and that it wasn't a real game-just a few...tests...games...whatever you call it. It's sad to think that this game could have been an adventure game with Link going around the kingdom trying to save the land of Hyrule from monsters or something. But no...

Also Lake Hylia, Faron Woods (the Lost Woods don't count) and Death Mountain weren't included in this game...and (TWILIGHT PRINCESS SPOILERS!) how was Hyrule Castle rebuilt? Wasn't it destroyed at the end of the game? And Stallord...did he come back to...uhh the "undead" life? How?

The game was still fun anyway. I recommend it only if you're planning on getting Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles or some other game that uses the Wii Zapper. Unlucky me, I got the Wii Zapper just for Link's Crossbow Training. And that didn't go so well.

A Fake Legend

2007-11-24T09:46:00.000-08:00

So I got Link's Crossbow Training and it ain't the best game out there you now. But it's just $20 for the Wii Zapper and the game...that's cool right? The game is of course short however you'll definatly play this game more than Wii Play. This game is way funner than Wii Play.

I'm disappointed that Nintendo didn't turn this game into an adventure. Yes a game where Link goes around Hyrule with a gun (Crossbow) shooting his enemies. It would be a lot funner than this game...

But I still love this game and I'm happy with it. Meanwhile, I found this website with various awesome picture of someone dressing up as Link. I'm totally jealous! I want that costume so badly!

I know it tells you on the site the directions to making it but you know...I'm so lazy and stuff that I prefer buying the costume off EBay. But that would be too much money...I mean have you seen how much the Link Costumes are worth?!

Well...for now I'll just enjoy Link's Crossbow Training. Oh...that reminds me...I have to play Wind Waker a little more. I haven't played for...four days...

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: New Game

2007-11-18T17:48:00.000-08:00

Today was the day I got The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Right now I'm in the first dungeon of the game. So far, the game is pretty good. The Cel-Shaded graphics look ok and I actually laughed when Link was tossed to the fortress in a barrel.

Hopefully, unlike Super Mario Galaxy, this game will take me some time to finish.

Super Mario Galaxy: The End

2007-11-17T08:20:00.000-08:00

Yes, I beat Super Mario Galaxy in one week. This game felt very short and not much effort was put into it. Come on, they worked on this game for over a year and this game only takes a week to finish?

Also, to get to the final boss you need 60 stars. Thats not a high number. At least in Super Mario 64 you needed 70 stars but only 60? My only problem with this game is that its so short. Everything else was fine.

Cut-scenes in the game were great (specially the ending), the story that Princess Rosalina reads you in the library is just something that can even make a boy cry, most of the music in the game is great and this game really feels like the sequel to Super Mario 64. Oh and Luigi helps you throughout the game as well.

However, just like in Mario Sunshine, the final boss was a bit too easy. I didn't die ONCE in the Mario Galaxy fight. I beat the final boss in my first try. They didn't work on the final boss to much-he was too easy.

But still, even if you beat the game you can still keep playing. There's 59 more stars to find after beating the game, and there is also some other...secrets. Even though the game is short, its still worth checking out.

The Game no One has Heard of

2007-11-16T18:14:00.000-08:00

Today, I'm going to show you a game that almost NO ONE has heard of. Compared to this game, Mario Teaches Typing is a FAMOUS game. Compared to this game, Mario FUNdamentals is a famous game. Compared to this game, Mario's Picross is famous!

What is this game called? Not Itadaki Street DS, not Hotel Mario, not Yoshi's Saari, not Super Mario Bros. the Lost Levels and definatly not Tetris DS (it's...not a Mario game is it?) The name of this game?

Yakuman DS.

Yes, Yakuman DS.

No, thats not Mario playing Poker. Here's the character select screen:

Goomba's playable...and Bowser Jr. is playable...very surprising. Shy Guy, Koopa and Boo are also playable. But uh, anyway.

This game is a Japan-only game, released in March of 2005. And this game doesn't look fun at all. I mean the game is about Yakuman a Chinese game. Chinese game...in Japan...hee.

We have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: This game was Japan-only and wasn't released in America.

Kerog-Banned: Saying names of characters COMPLETLY wrong!

2007-11-15T19:54:00.000-08:00

Issue 2 is about saying names of characters very different from what the real name
is. Kerog anyone? I know this should have been Issue 1 but...no.

---

As if this post at Waluigious (which is a way better bog than mine) didn't have enough information of Kerog I'm going to talk about him a bit.

Kerog was the name that Mr. Michael Teitelbaum gave Bowser. Michael is definatly not a Mario fan. He didn't care ONE LITTLE BIT about getting the names of characters right. Princess Toadstool? Sorry Michael but her name changed a few years ago back in 1996...we're in 2000 now (the book was made in 2000). Kerog? Where did you get that one?

Scholastic was so angry with Michael that they fired him right away but still put the book on stores anyway (ok, so I do not know if they fired him or not but I'm just guessing!). They figured they would still make some money. Then Scholastic, later, made a sequel which was way cooler. OMAGOSH! They got Kerog's name right! Bowser! Yes, it says BOWSER! Oh and this book wasn't made by Michael Teitelbaum it was made by Ron Zalme. Go Ron!

So anyway DON'T say Bowser is named Kerog EVER. Yes you, in front of the computer. But before you say Whatever and turn away, I have to tell you something else. Call the Koopalings (Bowser's seven original kids) by their proper name!

The Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World cartoons called them totally weird names. Big Mouth...? Bully!? Kootie Pie!!?? Hip...and HOP!?!? Man were those weird names. Don't you GO AROUND SAYING THEIR NAMES WRONG!

And that is all. Don't call anything by its wrong name. Oh and please don't call Bowser "Koopa". Only do that if you're in Japan.

I'm a flying Bee! Again!

2007-11-12T17:08:00.000-08:00

Today, in the morning, I called GameStop to see if they had Mario Galaxy even thought they said it would arrive the 13th. They said it would be here in about two hours. So I was like "ok thanks". So then, two hours later I went to GameStop and of course-Mario Galaxy was there. They had recieved the copies early.

Because I had pre-ordered Galaxy I got the coin with Mario flying and the yellow star named Tyke. The back of the coin has "SUPER MARIO GALAXY" written on it. The coin is also larger and heavier than I expected it to be! It's like...the size of seven pennies!

The game so far is sweet, cool, but it has a small problem. I get dizzy very easily in some parts of this game. Oh and the original seven Koopalings (not Koopakids, not Bowser Jr. or Baby Bowser) don't appear in the game which is very sad. But Bowser Jr. however DOES appear. Hopefully, he gets lost in the middle of nowhere in the end of the game.

Things I've noticed in the game (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! YOU WERE WARNED!):

-The original Super Mario 64 "Bowser Stage" music is found in this game again!
-F.L.U.D.D. from Mario Sunshine is now an enemy. Actually, look-alikes of FLUDD are enemies (these look-alikes are red and spit fire).
-There's Super Mario Bros. 3 music.
-The music that plays where you're beating Bowser up is just plain cool.
-Urchins from Super Mario World appear in this game! Well, look-alikes.
-Unagi the Eel is not in the game but look-alikes (yes, again, look-alikes) are.
-Bowser now doesn't spit fireballs. He spits METEOR fireballs.
-Princess Peach sends letters to Mario throughout the adventure even though she's very far away.
-1-Up Mushrooms don't run away from you anymore.
-Penguins from Super Mario 64 are now more common.
-There are also two black penguins in the game.
-There is a Manta Ray named Ray. Such a creative name!

Charles Martinet Called Me!

2007-11-11T18:05:00.000-08:00

Well it was a recorder. Anyway, Charles called me to remind me to pick up Galaxy tomorrow. Sadly, he didn't know that my GameStop doesn't get the game until November 13th. Still cool. I mean seriously! Imagine Mario (Charles) calling you!

I wasn't able to take a video of the call but someone else was. Link, Link, Link!

Kerog-Banned: Bowser Jr., Koopalings, Baby Bowser and Koopakids say hi!

2007-11-11T10:04:00.000-08:00

Inspired by: "Waluigious"
Welcome to Issue 1 of Kerog-Banned! What is Kerog-Banned? It's basically just Gannon-Banned with a Mario theme. What is Gannon-Banned? Click on "Kerog Banned!" to find out.

So you think you're such a Mario fan and all that. But then one day you go like "OMEGOSH, Bowser Jr. appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! You didn't know that!?!?" and then everyone will stare at you and hate you.

This is Bowser Jr. He is Bowser's EIGHT son who appeared out of nowhere (atually out of the Pianta Statue) in Super Mario Sunshine. He is NOT Bowser as a kid. He DID NOT appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Story or the Mario Party games.

These are the seven Koopalings and Bowser's seven original sons (Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy and Larry). They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. They DO NOT appear in the Mario Party series or New Super Mario Bros. Well, they don't appear in ANY 3D Mario game.

This is Baby Bowser. He is NOT Bowser Jr. He is NOT one of Bowser's sons. He first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He did NOT appear in the Mario Party games (although some characters named Baby Bowser appear in that game). He did NOT appear in New Super Mario Bros. He DID NOT appear in Super Mario Sunshine.

And now the biggest confusement: Koopakid. They are called Baby Bowsers in some games, called Bowser's kids in others but in truth they are just REGULAR KOOPAS WHO WORK FOR BOWSER! Even though their name changed from Baby Bowser to Koopakids they are just Koopas with horns that work for Bowser. Oh and ignore the part where they call Bowser "Dad" in Mario Party 4. Koopakids ONLY appear in the Mario Party games. NOT in Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. or something else. Just Mario Party games.

(Good news: Ever since Mario Party 7, the Koopakids have stopped appearing in the series).

So this ends with Kerog-Banned 1. If you ever called Bowser Jr "Baby Bowser" then I hope you have learned the correct way and I hope those fools out there finally get the name right.

Seven Rings in Hand, and a Week went By

2007-11-10T17:57:00.000-08:00

I beat Sonic and the Secret Rings last week and I forgot to tell you all! Bleh, well anyway, finally after five months of having this game, I beat it! I would have beaten this game faster if I hadn't gotten The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

So anyway, Sonic and the Secret Rings is...a great game. The story isn't complicated, you only have to play as Sonic instead of playing as Tails, Knuckles and the other guys, and well it's just fun.

The story of the game is simple however the story also seems so stupid. Ok, so the story in a book is vanishing because of a Genie of the Lamp who is deleting the words off the book. With the help of a Genie of the Ring (0_o) Sonic goes inside the book to get the words in the book back. Err...?

Also the game is short. Before you know it, you will have already collected three rings. Soon, you will have already collected all seven. Also the final boss isn't as hard as I imagined. Oh and-never mind that would be considered a spoiler.

The music of the game is just awesome. It has lyrics! "Who's going to rock the place...place"? But some music is kind of annoying sometimes and hearing the same "Seven Rings in Hand" music can get old.

But still this game is better than some other games I've played. Some people think that this game isn't good and it just sucks. Hmm...wonder why.

Reasons why I think Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will suck!

2007-11-10T09:22:00.000-08:00

Well, ok, I haven't played the game yet, I haven't bought it yet and sadly I'm not planning to. *Sonic stares at me with angry eyes* Sonic don't cry! Here I'll explain everything bad about this game!

1. Sports Game

Ok seriosuly. Doesn't Sega know that we are tired of hitting balls with giant golf clubs or hitting a dice and walking through some round holes and then collecting coins or tackling your best friends just so you get a freakin' soccer ball? Well, Sega: WE HATE SPORTS GAMES! The sports game were fun at first (Mario Party 2 was actually fun) but then they were just annoying.

2. The fastest thing a live.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games proves that Sonic isn't fast at all. Sega just wants him to look fast in his games. I mean seriously! The big fat old Mario is faster than the blue teenager hedgehog called the fastest thin a live! Bleh...

3. Cross-over SPORTS game

See, if this was a cross-over adventure game where Mario and Sonic team up to get seven Chaos Stars then I guess thats fine. But where Mario and Sonic fight just to win the 2008 olympic games then thats just plain stupid.

4. They didn't even bother...

Getting new artwork for Luigi, Waluigi, Wario and all those other Mario guys. They just used artwork from past Mario games and just decided to make it artwork for the Olympic Games. Mario, Peach and Daisy were the only ones who got new artwork because Mario needed a picture to go on the cover that was new, and Peach and Daisy because Sega couldn't find artwork for Peach and Daisy in their sports attire where they weren't holding a golf club or baseball bat or something. Sonic artwork however, is a bunch of NEW Sonic artwork. Come on Sega-we know you hate Mario but give us more than that!

5. It sucks

I've heard from a few people who played it that it's not a very good game. Hmm!! Awesome.

Are you geting Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games? I hope you say no. And if you say yes, it's probably just because you're a total Sonic fan who has every Sonic game there is. Or it's just because you're a Mario fan who wants to tell us how bad it is.

I'm a Flying Bee!

2007-11-04T18:14:00.000-08:00

So today I went to the GameStop somewhat near where I live. What did I do there? I sold Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (that game sucked), I looked around for a while and then...PLAYED SUPER MARIO GALAXY!

The game is very sweet and awesome. I got to play through the Good Egg Galaxy and the Honeybee Galaxy. Mostly, the Honeybee Galaxy and I played as Bee Mario a lot. The game is very fun and there doesn't seem to be anything bad with it.

Bee Mario is very fun. You hold the A button to start flying around but you can't fly around forever. You can only fly around for about five seconds, and after that you'll have to go back to the ground. It was very fun being Bee Mario.

I explored a bunch of small planets in the Good Egg Galaxy, and then finally got launched to a star shaped planet, except its center is a star-shaped hole-a big one. And right in the middle of the whole is a star. Mario has to go around the small star-shaped planet, collecting star pieces to make a blue star thing that sends Mario flying to the star that opens a new galaxy called the Honeybee Galaxy. Then Mario takes off his hat and releases a pink star with eyes from his head. Weird.

So then, I go to the Honeybee Galaxy, get to talk to some Bee Guards, see the Queen Bee up ahead and then get the Bee Mushroom which transforms me into Bee Mario. I fly off to visit the Queen Bee. After going through various planets that is.

I finally got to meet Queen Bee and got to scrath her body and find Star Pieces all over her body as Bee Mario. It looked awkward. After scratching her body, I got launched to another planet where I found a star and three different colored Toads that look as if they're going to be major characters in the game.

I talk to the Toads and learn that Luigi is missing. Well I'm guessing this means I have to search for him right? I grab the star, but then realize that I've spent a little too much time playing the game. So I put the controller down and leave.

Seems like this game may be "Game of the Year". It may even be better than Ocarina of Time!

EDIT: Fixed spelling mistakes.

Smiley Update

2007-10-26T17:12:00.000-07:00

Full name of character: Smiley S. Square

Made by: ME!

See this is a fake update I made ;).

See, I sound just like Sakurai!

I'll be Catching the Stars November 13

2007-10-22T15:18:00.000-07:00

Yup, thats right, I reserved Super Mario Galaxy. I couldn't resist. I've heard that the game might be too short or too easy-but I don't care. I haven't played it yet and I'm not going to let RUMORS make me not get the game.

Also this is the first time I reserve in my whole life. Please don't shoot me.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: It's All Over!

2007-10-20T11:28:00.000-07:00

I finished The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (finally after four months of having it) but I was dissapointed about some parts on the game (but I mostly loved the game. It was awesome...BETTER THAN OCARINA OF TIME!

So ok the game was short (hard at first) but after Arbiter's Grounds the game was really rushed. And then Midna. Midna stole all the spotlight. The whole game was about her. The title of the game was about her. Everything was about Midna...the...Twilight Princess. Sorry for the spoilers.

And the Final Boss was too easy. Not as easy as Bowser and Bowser Jr. in the hottub taking a shower, in a volcano, with Peach in a rubber ducky, and Mario using a water pump, but it was easier than a purple mushroom named Princess Shroob, then a bigger Princess Shroob and then a monster-giant version of the other Princess Shroob. You get the idea.

Oh and there's no Gerudos in the game, and Zelda doesn't seem to have any feelings for Link! Come on, Zelda barely appears in the game. Ah...and the Skull Kid is just weird but helpful-but not really needed. And thats mostly all my complaining. So anyway, the game was great, not a 100/100 great but a 98/100 great.

Mario has a Party in your Go-Gurt

2007-10-14T17:02:00.001-07:00

So, I was in Wal-Mart and then saw this: Mario Party DS Go-Gurt! It had Mario on the box so I bought it. What is so funny is that the back of the box says "Mario Party DS on Nintendo DS" or something like that. Mario Party DS hasn't been released yet!

Nintendo probably knows that Mario Party DS won't have good sales so they decided to put Mario Party DS stuff on the Go-Gurt boxes to see if that made the Mario Party DS sales better.

Smash Bros. YAY!

2007-10-14T10:19:00.000-07:00

See the picture? Do you see who it is there? It's JILL from DRILL DOZERS! So, ok, a lot of things have been confirmed about Brawl lately. The Fire Flower is confirmed, the Bob-omb is confirmed but here's something you weren't expecting: Jill is an Assist Trophy. And she's not playable. Aww man!

Little Mac, a Metroid, and some Advance Wars dudes will also be Assists. Little Mac is not playable...aww man! I included a picture of Jill above, but I can't find pictures of Little Mac and Metroid. Oh here's the Advance Wars idiots:

Hey! Hey! Wait! They're 2D! Seems like Super Smash Bros. is the kind of game where anyone cna pop up, in any way!

Mario Sports

2007-10-13T08:09:00.000-07:00

Brawl has been delayed and Mario Baseball for Wii has been announced. Let me say something: WHAT!?!? Doesn't Nintendo know that we HATE Mario sports games? Mario sports games were fun at first but then they just started taking over the Mario series.

The Mario sports gameswere responsible for putting Waluigi into the Mario series (a character that I like) and for bringing Daisy back (I don't like her a lot). Many people hate Waluigi and Daisy. There are some that like them. But they were created just to be partners of Peach and Wario.

And the Mario Party series. I consider the Mario Party series part of the Mario Sports series. Don't ask why....but I do. The Mario Party series was VERY fun at first. Mario Party 1, and 3 were so fun! Mario Party 4 wasn't as fun, Mario Party 5 took away a lot of fun (Donkey Kong) and put in a lot of hate (Koopakid). Mario Party 6 was just like Mario Party 6, and Mario Party 7 just took away Koopakid and put in Dry Bones and Birdo. Mario Party 8 then put in two minor characters: Hammer Bro. and Blooper.

The Mario Party series also introduced the Koopakids/Baby Bowsers-stupid replacements of the sweet, awesome Koopalings. The Koopakids even got to be playable in Party 5 and 6! Luckily, they were taken out of the playable characters list in Mario Party 7 and were taken out of the series in Party 8. But whats worse of all is that they are confusing. People confuse these idiots for Bowser's sons. Some people call these idiots Bowser Jr. And some people think Baby Bowser (the real one) is a Koopakid. The Koopakids just confused everyone!

The Mario Kart series is actually fun! It's the only Mario sport game that I actually like. But I do have to say that they are releasing too much Mario Kart games. Mario Kart DS was released, them Mario Kart Arcade GP came, then came Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and then Mario Kart Wii was announced. I suggest that you guys release a Mario Kart game every four years.

So what am I trying to say? This: "STOP MAKING MARIO SPORTS GAMES!!!!!!!!!!" and that counts with Mario Party games.

Sonic in Melee

2007-10-10T17:11:00.000-07:00

Right now since I'm talking about the "blue hedgehog" I'll post this fake picture.

Games I Had

2007-10-10T16:55:00.000-07:00

And that I no longer had and the reason why.

Pokemon Stadium 2: Sold to a friend.

Monsters Inc: (Embarrased) Sold it to a GameStop. Hey, but the game WAS kind of fun.

Bratz Rock Angels orsomethinglikethat (Gameboy): I found it on the ground while walking outside 0_o. I only picked it up so I could sell it at GameStop.

Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland: Sold it to GameStop. The game was fun but too short and too easy :(.

And three other racing games for the Nintendo 64. I can't remember the names but I gave them to my cousin.

Oh and I may sell Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge and Banjo-Pilot. Not that I don't like Banjo, but those games make him look like an idiot.

From Mario Baseball Wii to Sonic

2007-10-10T16:41:00.000-07:00

Today, on October 10th 2007...Mario Stadium Baseball was confirmed. It's a Mario baseball (the sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball) game...for the Wii. Pokemon Farm for the Wii is confirmed. Videos of Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Check Mii Out Channel can now be seen. This day is awesome! But the greatest news of all: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IN SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL!

Yesterday's rumor of Sonic in Brawl came true. YAY!

Weekdays and Weekends

2007-10-09T16:00:00.000-07:00

Weekdays are hard-I have a LOT of stuff to do in Weekdays. And being on the internet is not one of the important things to do believe it or not. Well, I don't have much to talk about. I took this quiz and they call me a "Huge Fan". Ah well!

Oh, if you want to e-mail me, e-mail me at Superluigi821@aim.com. I'll answer...if its a nice e-mail and if I have time.

How to Draw: Nintendo's GREATEST Heroes and Villains

2007-10-07T08:42:00.000-07:00

You probably heard of "How to Draw Nintendo Heroes & Villains" infamous for calling Bowser 'Kerog' (ha!) Well, last year, I bought the "sequel" to it. I was expecting Bowser to be "Kerog" again but luckily that was not true.

This new "How to Draw" book was awesome. It had a bunch of Mario characters I won't bother saying (Waluigi is in there), Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong (No Tiny, no Snide, no Chunky unlike the original however), Samus, Fox, Slippy, Falco, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf (all Wind Waker style)!

And if that wasn't good enough, all of the pages are...what the...FULL COLOR!?!?! And every page even has beatiful backgrounds, from a bunch of Goombas in the fields to Arwings fighting? It seems as if this is a "Sorry for making a crappy, black and white How to Draw book with Mr. Bowser's name spelled wrong" from the authors of the first book.

Mario Chart

2007-10-06T12:01:00.000-07:00

We can see the size of characters! I found this picture floating around the internet and decided to put it up. Bowser is bigger than Peach AND Mario AND Luigi, but Petey is even bigger. A Bullet Bill facing right is about the size of Mario, Lakitu is about the same size as Mario, Shy Guy is about the same height as Diddy Kong (who is the same size as Dixie Kong) and lots of other stuff.

Click on the picture for full size. Hmm...where did this picture come from? Nintendo Power?

Link and the Portal of Doom

2007-10-06T11:19:00.000-07:00

Hey, wanna see a cool book I got at a book order in my school about a year ago? It's Link and the Portal of Doom. I actually got this book, before I played a "The Legend of Zelda" game. I'm sure no one has ever heard of this book so I'm nice enough to include a picture.

The book takes place shortly after the events of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. (Young) Link and Navi are walking through Hyrule Field when Talon (reffered to as simply farmer) tells him that his Cuccos have escaped! Link goes off to find them in the forest.

Link then finds a giant portal sucking Cuccos in! The portal then starts sucking Link in! Link is able to escape the portal's sucking power, but he wonders how to stop the portal from sucking everything in. It might even suck everyone from Hyrule in!

Navi finds text near to the giant portal. It's Ancient Hylian, and Kaeopora Gaepora (out of nowhere) is able to translate Ancient Hylian for Link. Iy says that to close the portal, Link must play songs for it, or something like that. Link goes around Hyrule learning new songs.

At the end, he combines all songs and sings all of them for the portal who's trying to suck him in. The portal starts getting weaker as Link keeps playing. And then the portal almost sucks Link in, but Zelda and Impa get him just in time.

The portal closes and Hyrule is saved. Link says that he and Zelda will protect Hyrule "together". Zelda smiles and says "Together". Ah...sweet love. Oh and this book is part of the Nintendo Heroes series (the other books in the series I don't have but I've heard of another one about Mario).

This book was made by Tracey West. Oh and there's stickers inside. And it has the official Nintendo seal, don't worry.
