Welcome to the fourth episode of the Dadpod Gamescast!
Today, we’re talking Mario. Yes, THE Mario. We kept the discussion primarily to the NES Mario games and so may return again in the future to discuss more and more Mario, because there’s always more to talk about with this turtle hating plumber.
We discuss what makes Mario feel so damn good to play. Along the way, we digress through Halo, Zelda, and Final Fantasy XV.
You can read eddy’s essays on Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest XI, and Final Fantasy XV.
