I'm going to a Mario Bros party!

I got invited to a coworkers Mario Brothers party and I’m ridiculously excited. She has 1985 super mario brothers and her old nintendo for it. I have a 1986 mario brothers thermos that I’ll be drinking wine from. Oh and the party is on her huge boat. I’m so happy :joy:

Who is bringing the mushrooms?

I think there will be some special cookies. Also I ordered cupcakes and two of them are decorated like mushrooms.

Also, you need someone in a Yoshi costume.

No way I could possibly love a corporate mascot more than I do Mario. Have fun!

Super Mario Bros 3 is the ultimate one, if you have to pick.

Ah yes, super Mario bros 3 was awesome as well. So much of my misspent youth was taken up with playing all of the Mario bros.

That kind of party sounds absolutely amazing. Any clue how many are coming?

Just as a side note, if you Google “Nintendo emulator PC” you can find lots of simulators that let you play the Mario Bros game for both the original and second-generation Nintendo consoles right on your PC. I have it installed on one of my older PCs and one on an old Android tablet, though I don’t remember which specific ones. The classic Mario Bros game tunes bring back great memories!

The mushrooms in the game appear to be Amanita Muscaria, which are a deleriant hallucinogen.

While I have experimented with these, I can confirm that the high is by no means fun. It is more like an unpleasant fever dream - more or less guaranteed bad trip.

Be like the princess; don’t do amanita mushrooms.*

  • there are other amanitas that are good eating. I would not know, I have not tried them. A. muscaria tastes pretty good.

It was super fun! Had a great time playing super mario and super mario 3. She even had an original Atari. Seriously not as good as you remember! Though I did enjoy playing space invaders.
