I am happy to see that this holds true for Super Mario games on the PC as well, where I had a thorough look at Fantastic Trio, a platform game after the finest Super Mario Games tradition, only this time you get to choose to play as Super Mario the Italian Plumber, The ultra fast Hedgehog: Sonic, or Disney’s prime champion: Aladdin. With names like these, surely a game featuring them, must be something else. Well, I am happy to report it is not.
Fantastic Trio upholds the same quality as any classic Super Mario game, with all the exciting elements from the collecting of the coins to the squashing of your enemies by jumping them.
Needless to say that unlike its classic role models like Super Mario World, this game is a lot younger, and it shows. The graphics are simply amazing, and our three heroes have never looked this good on any computer screen, with sounds that could be coming straight from your CD or DVD player.
I think everybody gets the idea, that Fantastic Trio is indeed a fantastic game, that holds true to the original and addictive game play, its role models adhered to and is every bit as good, only with better looking graphics, and excellent sounding music.
The only minor complaint I could make against this otherwise excellent arcade game, would be that especially the first levels could have been made more challenging, as I found them to be a bit easy to conquer.
Once again this shows the tremendous improvements flash arcade games are going through, especially when Super Mario games are concerned. Currently we are even seeing flash based multiplayer games hitting the market, so it won’t be long until we will see a multiplayer Super Mario game, emerge, which will be the point, that PC Super Mario games will take on a life of their own.
Of course Fantastic Trio is available on the established Super Mario games arcade sites, along with many more excellent titles, including all the classic Super Mario Games!
I enjoyed playing Fantastic Trio quite a lot, and can recommend this free to play arcade platform game to any fan of the Super Mario Games, but also to those that have enjoyed the Sonic games and to a lesser extend the Aladdin games from Disney. In fact the ones that enjoyed playing Tarzan on the Playstation consoles, will be pleasantly surprised as well
In an age, where video games seem to get released more and more for console gaming only it is good to see PC gamers striking back with free arcade Super Mario games, that are improving at the speed of light!
It won’t be long now until us decent PC gamers will say “screw the consoles”, we got better games for free, and what a glorious day that is going to be for all PC gamers worldwide!

fawful

Fawful was originally created my Masanari Sato and altered for the English audiences by Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff, of the US department of Nintendo. Fawful, became popular fast, due to his catchy one-liners, like “I have fury!” and “Fink rat!”
Since his debut in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Fawful is known for his one liners, spoken in typical broken English, and he typically refers to himself in the 3rd person. As villains go, Fawful is a small player in the Super Mario Games universe, yet he still is one of the most popular ones, and whenever he appears in a game his one-liners will gain a following that spread throughout the Internet. Fawful is a servant of Cackletta, to whom he is loyal. In Mario & Luigi: partners in time, he appears as a store owner who trades beans for extreme badges, but only the young versions of Super Mario and Luigi, are able to enter. Throughout the game, it is explained that Fawful used the store to hide, and come up with a place to take revenge on the Mario brothers to whom he refers to as “Red Stache & Green Stache”. In the last installment of the Mario & Luigi series, he is the one causing the brothers to end up in Bowser’s stomach, and also the cause for infecting the citizens of Toad Town with the “Blorbs”. Fawful intended to take over Mushroom world, by using the power of the dark star, ultimately getting his revenge on the Super Mario brothers. Eventually he is defeated and blows up.
Since his first appearance, Fawful only received positive receptions, and ranks as the number seven on the favorite villains list. It is safe to say that though he is only a minor villain, Fawful is one of the most memorable villains in the universe of the Super Mario games, as was created by Nintendo. His particular way of speaking, often referred to as “broken Japanese game speak” added humor to the games, and contributed greatly to the overall entertainment factor of the games.
Given the fact that Fawful blew up in the last installment of the Mario & Luigi series, it remains to be seen if we will ever hear from the loveable villain again, or if Nintendo in their wisdom has decided to bury the character forever.
Fans of the games, at least are hoping see more of Fawful in the near future, so let’s hope Nintendo listens to their fans.

Mario Bombs Away!
Author: Kraven 17 Jun
Years later, the Super Mario game was added to the popular “Game and watch” packages that were released for the Nintendo Game boy Color and the Nintendo Game Boy Advanced. Since Mario: Bombs Away, was originally created as a standalone handheld game, this is one of the lesser known Super Mario Games, yet it holds all the typical addictive features, typically associated with Super Mario Games. However, this may soon change, as this title has also emerged on the Super Mario Arcade gaming scene.
The objective of this Super Mario game is to have Military Mario drop bombs, from left to right, without hitting oil spills and torches of his enemies. While this is a very simple concept, the game actually proves to be very addictive in game play, which makes it for all intends and purposes a worthy addition to the Super Mario games collection.
For this Super Mario game our hero dropped his famous red overall, and cap, in order to replace it with military gear and helmet, which was a rare and unique occasion, as it does not happen very often that we get to see the charismatic hero of the Super Mario games, without the tenue he has become famous for, But Mario Bombs away, certainly is one of those rare occasions.
Currently the Super Mario: Bombs away game is available on the Internet, as a flash game you can play for free in any browser, and on any platform, as long as the device you are playing on is capable of establishing an Internet connection and browse the World wide web. The game can be found at the better arcade gaming sites, especially those that are dedicated to offering Super Mario games.
Originally the game was played on a LCD handheld console, where the player used the built in mirror to view the action, obviously on a regular PC, or Internet capable device this will not be required, and the game plays just like any other Super Mario game, that will run in your browser.
Mario: Bombs Away, is the perfect example of a Super Mario Game, that has been ported to the PC, looking better than ever, while retaining all of its unique qualities, surpassing the original game. The fact that just like all the other Super Mario games, that have been ported to the PC, Mario Bombs away is free to play, makes this version the most popular one, even surpassing the Game and watch series that were released for the Nintendo Game Boy advanced.
Overall, Mario Bombs away, is one of the more simple Super Mario Games, that would in these modern times, rather classify as a Super Mario Mini game, rather than a fully fledged Super Mario game, however, the game is still good for hours of clean arcade gaming fun, and therefore deserves its own review.

Lesser known is the fact that new Super Mario games are being released almost on a daily basis. That’s right brand new adventures of our hero, and in all popular gaming genres.
Besides the classic Super Mario games, that will play in your browser, there are Super Mariofighting games, Super Mario racing games, and of course super Mario platform games all starring the little Italian plumber, in new adventures the world has never seen before. This is merely a small selection of available gaming genres, starring Super Mario, as literally every gaming category imaginable is present, on the better arcade gaming sites, dedicated to offering Super Mario games.
At the same time the classic Super Mario games have been getting makeovers, and are being re-released, with smoother game play, better graphics, and perhaps most important more levels! In fact, Classic Super Mario games, have never before looked as good as they do on the PC, and best of all they are free to play!
The best place
The best place to find the free Super Mario games are as stated the dedicated Super Mario arcade gaming sites, because they specialize in Super Mario games, and will always feature the latest releases, for you to play!
It goes without saying that this is excellent news for us; the fans of all the Super Mario games, as this means that independent new games are being released without involvement from Nintendo. Now, this is not to state that Super Mario games, released by Nintendo are a bad thing, it is just good to see that we do not have to rely on just one company to be assured of fresh supplies of new Super Mario Games, because as true fans, we can never get enough of the adventures, our plumber hero engages in.
Over the last two years, a strong Super Mario gaming community has emerged, that can hold its own, which will ensure the arrival of an abundance of new Super Mario games, and with technology developing as fast as it is, we can expect great things from these releases, as it seems that with each new Super Mario game release for the pc, the quality of the games improves, by bounds and leaps.
In fact I would not be surprised that in two years from now, Nintendo would face serious competition from the free Super Mario games that are created for PC and other Internet capable devices!
The only question that remains will be, how will Nintendo respond to such a development? Will they embrace it and treat it like a great opportunity, or will they respond like traditional media companies responded to music and movie downloads and try to fight us every step of the way?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, at this rate, in just a few more months, the super Mario Games for PC, will become an unstoppable force, through sheer volume, regardless of Nintendo’s response.
