Happy Saturday everyone! February is ending in the next day or so and that means the beginning of the newest feature here at Toy-TMA: The Too Much Awesome Podcast!

Who's gonna make the list?
I can’t stop thinking about the Super Mario series of games no matter how hard I try (which isn’t very hard actually). I keep coming back to my favorites and remember what made me fall in love with the plumber in the first place. So I thought, “Hey, New Super Mario Bros Wii is out now and this week is Thanksgiving, so what better time for me to rattle off my favorite Mario enemies?” I instantly agreed with myself and began searching through the Mario database to remember each and every enemy Mario has ever faced. After searching I discovered I couldn’t limit myself to just 10, so here it is, my list of the 20 Greatest Mario Enemies.

You see this? This is called a Grand Slam.
Oh joy! Not since my time as a wee child have I been so purely excited about a video game. Something about Mario always brings out the best in me. Given enough of Mario’s influence I might even go ahead and become a being of unadulterated elation, floating through the physical world as a glowing light that stops off every so often and anchors itself to New Super Mario Bros Wii.

They are shooting pure joy from my heart.
Halloween is pretty much here, but for some of us that doesn’t mean much. Why is that? Well we’re too busy playing video games to care what’s happening around us. As a result, we may accidentally pass up the day in lieu of just playing something bright and cheery, but there are other options for us shut-ins that still want to celebrate Halloween with some good atmospheric games. So here are 10 Games You Should Play On Halloween.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is the third game of the series and it’ll be on the DS this September. Surprisingly, the Mario & Luigi role playing games don’t get nearly as much credit as they deserve.
Look, I’m a Mario addict, especially anything that plays like Super Mario RPG. The Paper Mario series is also great, but people forget about the Mario & Luigi games on the Game Boy Advance and DS.

The DS is a great system all on its own, but don’t forget that you have the option of playing Game Boy Advance games on it as well, (unless you have a DSi). There are some great games you may have missed out on, so let me remind you of them. Here are five Game Boy Advance games you should be playing:
