The video game industry is no different in this respect from any other. Nintendo found a big name brand in a little Italian hero Mario, and his brother Luigi. These two characters starred in the little known Mario Brothers before Super Mario Brothers took the world by storm. Since then there have been countless sequels to the original hit on the Nintendo Entertainment System (8-bit), Super Nintendo (16-bit), and Nintendo 64 (64-bit). While the sequels have introduced new characters and new worlds, the original Super Mario Brothers still remains a classic. Super Mario Brothers is by far the best-known console video game of all time. It has captured the attention of millions worldwide and single handedly turned Nintendo into a household name. For these reasons and more, this game will be reviewed in this website. | Next Page | Mario Bros Review | STS145 Home | Christopher B Montgomery [email protected] Last Updated 2/16/01 http://www.stanford.edu/~cmonty/sts145/MarioHome.html [2/23/2001 3:32:12 PM] STS145--The History of Video Game Design Game Information Super Mario Brothers is an original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game released in 1985.

Read it twice: the first time in your head and the second time out loud. • Who do you think this report is written for? Lego Star Wars™: The Force Awakens - Game Description What is it? The Force Awakens gives a humorous look on the first of the most recent trilogy of Star Wars movies. It contains multiple levels and over 200 characters. It also includes extra and expanded levels. The game delves further into the plot than previous games. It offers detailed story content, covering almost every scene from the movie, but as in previous Lego Star Wars games it’s done in a humorous way. You find stormtroopers clowning around at rallies or stocking up on wookiee-cookies for Chewbacca to coax him into the Millennium Falcon. How is it different to previous versions? This is the first Lego Star Wars game where the characters speak, but often with humour. It also bridges the gap between The Return of the Jedi story and The Force Awakens. New game features include Multi-Build which allows players to build new paths, then break them up and rebuild different ones. It also includes a duck and cover feature in the exciting new Blaster Battle game mode. The graphics have been greatly developed and flight simulation is fantastic. How do you play? As with previous games, you collect ‘studs’, small LEGO pieces that are used as currency.

  • Super Mario Kart Deluxe 8 - Game Description
    Super Mario Kart Deluxe 8 - Game Description History/background Super Mario Kart is a go-kart racing video game published for Super Nintendo Entertainment System in August 1992 in Europe and North America. The game sold eight million copies worldwide. It became the third best-selling game of all time. The graphics in the earlier version were considered ‘detailed’ by the Nintendo Magazine System and also ‘spectacular’ considering the period when the game was released. How to play The player takes control of the main characters from the Mario series using their controller. There are over 40 total characters, each with different capabilities and skills. The player races against computer-controlled characters in multi-race cups. There are 48 different tracks available. Gameplay features allow for advanced manoeuvres such as hopping and power sliding. The second manoeuvre allows a kart to maintain its speed while turning corners but executing the move too long will cause the kart to spin. Main characters The eight original characters of the game are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong Jr., Koopa Troopa and Toad. However, over the years this has increased and in this version of the game over 40 characters are available. The characters have their own skills, top speed, acceleration and handling. Each character has its power-ups. Yoshi drops eggs while Donkey Kong Jr. throws bananas. Pros • The gameplay offers speed and offensive boosting power-ups, which the player can use • Players can also race against the clock in a Time Trial mode • Multiplayer mode allows players to race against each other one-on-one • Available for more than one platform .

  • The Daily Dodger Week 1 June 18 - June 22 Alouette Article
    The Daily Dodger Week 1 June 18 - June 22 Alouette Article Dear Parents, What an amazing first week at Tamarak. Welcome to the Dodgers! My name is Jeffrey and I’m the Dodger Unit Leader. This is my 7th year at camp as a staff member and spent many summers here as a camper. Both of my kids are also campers here this summer. This summer our clubhouse theme is Mario Party and we have six groups of Dodger campers; Bowser, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Yoshi, Mario and Koopa Troopa. Our first day was sweltering but it did not slow down our campers. They did an amazing job learning our new procedures and routines. We got off to an outstanding start in the pool. Every Dodger was eager to swim (it helps when it is 90+ out)! Swim staff and counselors jumped into swim lessons while head pool staff placed new campers in groups starting with our first swim. I have never seen a group fall into swim groups and lessons so seamlessly. The campers enjoyed magic for the first time this week. In basketball, they are practicing dribbling skills. Please remember to apply sunscreen and bug spray each morning before your campers arrive at camp. We will reapply sunscreen and bug spray after each swim. We look forward to an amazing summer here at Tamarak. Swim reports will come home next Friday. PLEASE NOTE, PICTURE DAY IS TUESDAY, JUNE 26TH PLEASE WEAR YOUR WHITE TAMARAK SHIRT. HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WEEK REMINDERS • Getting to know all our new Dodger • Please remember to bring back a swimsuit on Monday.
