Remembering the good old days...

Well, originally I was going to post a simple collage but my younger brother asked me to submit a sketch he did of Mario (from Mario Party 5) but he tweaked it a bit using a paint program. So, what about my love for the Mario Bros.? Well, I may not have a collection of figurines or plush toys but I've been playing the Mario Bros. series since Mario first appeared in the Donkey Kong arcade game (he was known as Jumpman in those days)! I enjoyed playing the original Mario Bros. and spending endless hours playing Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World (just to name a few). My siblings and I were often fixated on reaching and defeating Bowser. My all-time favorite power-up would have to be the Tanooki Suit (with the Hammer Bros. Suit coming in very close). Whether I'm soaring through the Donut Plains as Caped Mario or defeating Boom Boom with a single hammer from the Hammer Bros. Suit, the Mario Bros. series will always old a special place for me (and my siblings) and I'm always ready for new challenges or taking a trip down memory lane. Yeah! Mario Bros.!

ABOUT THE CONTEST

Ah, Super Mario Bros. Who doesn’t have memories of collecting coins and stomping goombas into the wee hours of the morning? Who among us hasn’t debated amongst friends about which Super Mario Bros. game is the most exciting?

Incredibly, it’s been 20 years since the Mario Bros. first rescued Princess Peach and saved the Mushroom Kingdom, and now Mario and Luigi are back in the new side-scrolling adventure New Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo DS. Enter the "Show Your Love for Super Mario Bros." contest to win a Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of New Super Mario Bros. for you and a friend. All you have to do is log-in or sign-up on Buzznet and share just one of your favorite memories, funny moment or embarrassing story involving a Super Mario Bros. game. Remember the time that the power went out just as you were about to beat Bowser, or the time you faked sick so you could stay home and play? Did Mario’s style inspire you to grow your first moustache? Submit just one picture or video with a short caption that captures your love for Super Mario Bros. to qualify.

This contest ends Aug. 25th, so get clicking and submit your images now!
