It was the 40th of June when Mario found out that his princess Peach was captured by his worst enemy FABRIZIO ESPOSITIO. By the way Mario was a plumber so he never really had much of anything except a bunch of basketballs and a princess. Which he didn’t even own the basketballs, at least not yet.

Essentially, the player is tasked to complete an underlying objective before moving to the ultimate goal. However,

(Trying to) Make a Memorable Mario I’m well over 20 hours into Super Mario Maker and I have to admit, most of that’s making Mario levels, not so much playing them. Maybe that’s good since it’s Mario maker, not player, but I’m getting ahead of myself. The game begins like the old Mario Bros. for Nintendo, but with no enemies and a sudden cliff. You’re told the level’s unfinished and you’re asked to complete the level for your tutorial. Silhouettes of where to place enemies and blocks are strewn about

(U) Ratchet from the ratchet and clank series is probably the best hero out of any PlayStation game ever made. He is a Lombax mechanic from the planet Veldin. Him and his sidekick, clank, fly throughout the galaxy defeating villains that are trying to take it over or destroy it. Moving from planet to planet protecting them all the best he can. He and clank met up after Ratchet was working on his busted ship and Ratchet saw an escape pod crash land. When he went to investigate he found clank. (U)
