Episode 526: The Many Adaptations of Mario (Patreon)

It took 30 years, but at long last we finally have another Mario movie.  And while Illumination's take on this beloved Nintendo property doesn't stray far the the source material, the last 40 years' worth of adaptations weren't so lucky. Between the East and the West, there's more of these than you'd think, and the recent relevancy of Mario media raises the question: Hey, why don't we talk about them all? On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Drew Mackie (of Gayest Episode Ever and Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games) as the crew explores the vast and troubled world of Super Mario Bros. adaptations.
