Happy Monday, all, and welcome to the Weekly Video Games Thread.
Let’s get right into the prompt: favorite Mario music. My relationship with Nintendo’s mascot border on the religious, so I’d like to do a belated thing for MAR10 Day. And what’s more of a “Wolfman Jew has to publish three things on Sunday and Monday, including this” prompt than one that asks for you to throw in a music clip? Here’s some of my favorites, with a couple of Mario’s friends’ adventures included:
