...This is the biggest secret in Super mario world. It is called the "Top Secret Area". I completely missed this the first three times I played Super mario world. Then out of boredom the fourth time playing Super Mario world I discovered it.

It is very simple to find. First go to Donut Plains #1 and get a cape from one of the Caped Koopas. Then go to Donut Ghost House #1. At the very start of the stage fly up to find a ledge. Follow this to be rewarded with several 1-u...more

Super mario - Then & Now

...Each one of us must have heard the name of a game The Super mario Bros. They are one of the most recognizable pairs of video game characters ever created by Nintendo. Although Nintendo came into picture in mid 1980s and was of course a huge success but the very first Nintendo games didnt brought the company into headlines.

This may be a marketing ploy for Nintendo as they are not making the Wii a home entertainment center, but a home gaming center. I'd like DVD playback for the Wii - it makes sense - but I'm not building the toy.

Two things really stand out for the Wii securing a big future quite quickly.

Backwards-Compatablity The Wii is built to be able to load both it's own games, and any Gamecube game. It's slot-disc loader can take both sizes, which is a first for game consoles and may be a mixed bag if the slot-loading mechanism can get easily fouled. The Wii can play all of the Gamecube games, work with the Gamecube memory cards, and also allow you to use Gamecube controllers. For affordability, this means people who have spent a bunch on their GC hardware can use some of it with the wii - and not have to go out and buy the new console, plus controllers, plus memory, etc. For the family group the Wii is targeting, this is a smart move.
