Nintendo surprised us with a new look at the Super Mario Movie this week, and it got us all more excited than the previous reveal. That’s just good marketing, friends. We also talk about the glaring performance problems with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and how some of our favorite games haven’t always had the best, or even good, performance. On top of that Seth makes a compelling case for Sonic Frontiers as Game of the Year.

Whats Super Mario?
Super Mario Bros. is, a console game created by the Japanese electronic game manufacturer Nintendo Company, Ltd., in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game, based on the arcade game Mario Bros., helped launch one of gaming’s most popular franchises. It stars Mario and Luigi, two Italian plumbers in the Mushroom Kingdom trying to rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil King Bowser. It is one of the best-selling game series, with more than 40 million copies sold.
In the original Super Mario Bros., solo players pilot Mario, and an additional player can play as Luigi. The game is based on a series of side-scrolling levels, each filled with enemies ranging from mushroomlike Goombas to evil turtles known as Koopa Troopas. The levels take place in different settings, some in dungeons and some above ground, with fights against Bowser impersonators at the end of castle levels. Once the imposter is defeated, a Mushroom Kingdom resident informs Mario or Luigi that the princess is in another castle. The game is completed with the defeat of the true Bowser and the rescue of Princess Toadstool.
