It's a Me - Mario! - Celebrating 40 Years of Super Mario

On this special episode of Blowing Cartridges, we're joined by Drew Agnew, host of The House of Mario podcast, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Super Mario.   We dive into the latest Nintendo Direct and unpack all the Mario-related announcements. Sharing our earliest and fondest memories of the mustachioed plumber, we reflect on Mario's continued staying power not just in gaming but as a multimedia phenomenon.    From 8-bit roots to theme parks and cinematic stardom, we discuss how far Mario has come and where he might go next. What could his 50th anniversary look like? Tune in as always to hear our thoughtful ramblings!
