So a plumber, a mushroom, and a dinosaur walk into a bar …
That sounds like the beginning to a pretty stupid joke, but I bet that you at least know that it’s a Mario joke. The reason being, is that the little plumber and his crew of made up friends are so iconic, so well known, that even the mere mention of them aswhat they are— not even their names — elicits a response in your gamer brain.
I say that makes Mario and his crew kind of a big deal. Hopefully, you think so too and will enjoy this week’s show. A part one of two separate episodes dedicated to the life and times of the industry’s most recognizable mascot: Mario. (Luigi gets some props, too.)
