When it comes to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there’s no greater threat to the crown than an opponent holding a fearsome blue shell. But the latest speedrunning sensation for the Nintendo Switch racing game doesn’t just embrace the blue shell — fans are actively trying to target themselves.

March is the last month you will be able to buy Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and that will hurt Nintendo more than it hurts anyone else.

Mario Golf Super Rush Headed To The Nintendo Switch In June 7
Mario Golf has just been announced for the Nintendo Switch with a new title – Super Rush. – and it’s coming soon on June 25. The last instalment, World Tour, was released back in 2014, so it’s been a while, to say the least. What’s more, this new game is arriving with a story mode […]
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Is That One Game I Always Say I’ll Buy
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a game I really want to play, but apparently not enough to actually buy it. It’s not the cost. It’s on sale pretty much all the time. Heck, it’s on sale right now.

GTA 6 And Mario Kart 9 Aren’t Coming Until You Stop Buying GTA 5 and Mario Kart 8
On the one hand, it feels like we are all clamoring for Mario Kart 9 and GTA 6. The sales figures of GTA 5 and Mario Kart 8 tell a very different story. The continued advancement of technology has severely shortened the attention span of consumers. As soon as we have our hands on a […]
GoldenEye 007 And Mario Crossover Is As Bizarre As It Sounds
GoldenEye 007 and Super Mario 64 were two of the best games the N64 had to offer, and it has taken 24 years for someone to combine the two. The N64 might not have been the best-performing console in Nintendo’s history in terms of sales, but it is one that has left a lasting legacy. […]
This Mario Kart shortcut took almost 13 years to pull off
Mario Kart Wii is nearly 13 years old, but hardcore players are still trying to bend it to their will with “ultra shortcuts” — massive lap skips that require unreasonably high levels of skill. But years after the discovery of the Rainbow Road ultra shortcut and over a decade after the game’s release, a streamer […]
Super Mario 3D World on Switch will add online play, photo mode
When Super Mario 3D World makes the leap from Wii U to Nintendo Switch in February, it will add more than just the Bowser’s Fury bonus adventure.

Mario Kart Peaked With Mario Kart: Double Dash
The quirky Mario Kart racing franchise has been around since Super Mario Kart was released for the SNES back in 1992.
