Spotlight on Boo

So, as I was typing out the title for this entry, I realized how ironic it is.  As anyone who’s ever played a Mario game knows, Boo is a very shy critter who always covers his eyes with his stubby little hands every time Mario or Luigi turns around to confront him.  And with those sharp fangs, Boo could be a vampire ghost, making the “spotlight” thing that much more unlikely. 

Anyways, though, I decided to kick this blog off with Boo because I feel he (or she, depending on which game you’re playing) is slowly gaining the notoriety he deserves.  With prominent appearances in games like Paper Mario, Luigi’s Mansion, and Super Mario Galaxy, not to mention his role as a playable character in Mario Tennis Open and Mario Party 5-8, Boo is becoming well…aBOOndant.  But I don’t understand why he wasn’t playable in Mario Party 9.  True, he does don his crown as King Boo, but I’d much rather play as him than take him down.  Whenever I was playing as Boo in Mario Party 6 and my friends started booing me, I would just smile and say, “Yep, that’s my name—don’t you forget it!”  Funny how an insult can turn into a compliment when your name is Boo, isn’t it? 

Sharing Nintendo with YOU

So, I'm assuming you're reading this blog because you--like me--love all things Nintendo. From the moment I popped Pokemon Yellow into my Game Boy Color, I knew that Nintendo and I would have a lifelong relationship. Thirteen years later, Nintendo and I are as tight as ever, but fortunately, I'm more than willing to share my love of Nintendo with YOU. So, grab your Wii-motes and hold on tight, because once you jump into that warp pipe, there's no telling when you'll get out.

The warp pipe: it looks innocent right now, but it'll suck your life away.  Better stock up on those 1-ups...fast.
