Summary

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World.

This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to beat a level, then offer their thoughts. The result is an hour of avant garde guerilla podcasting, where people gush about the best Mario game of all time.
