TIMESTAMPS

  • 0:00 – Intro, which is the Mario-est music of today’s game.
  • 44:00 – Emails! Helping to keep the lights on at the Kirk Cameron household.
  • 1:05:00 – No Sweet Boy Asks this week, so it’s right to the Snifferoo!

SHOW NOTES

- According to Price Charting, Super Mario RPG is still quite pricy. It’s $46.50 for the loose cart, and $139 for the cart, box and manual. However, it’s available on the Wii virtual stores, which is much more affordable.

- Jason Schreier of Kotaku had a good retrospective on Super Mario RPG this year, in honor of the game’s 20th anniversary. Read it here!

- Likewise, the TV Tropes page for the game is quite robust.
