News on 3.0, the Mario rundown

He won.
The time has come to see Mario off. There are no more Mario games on THE LIST, counting out those indirectly related to Nintendo's iconic character. This does not mean I'm barring all chances of reviewing Mario games in the future, but this is the last you'll be hearing from Mario for a long time. I've got Donkey Kong Classics coming up soon, but it's more of an insight on the rare compilation than a real review, since both of the games included have already been reviewed. I'll give you the Mario rundown all the way from last year in a jiffy, but first, I have something to announce.

'Mania is going 3.0, which means I will once again make some changes, both minor and major ones, to the style and look of the blog. The first changes will be made very soon - I'm working on a new logo, for example, and thinking of changing the colour scheme. I'm open for suggestions until next weekend, during which (I hope) 3.0 will be completed. Also, I recently found all kinds of good, or at least highly potential, old video game related material written by yours truly, that might be interesting to publish at some point. I'll consider to compile all this old shite to a single page.

That's about it, so here's the Mario rundown.

A total of 50 Mario games have been reviewed since August 2010. The highest rated Mario game is Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. The lowest rated Mario game is Mario Is Missing! for the SNES. The average rating of all Mario games is 7.5 (NOTE: Super Mario All-Stars and Mario's Early Years!, as well as the forthcoming Donkey Kong Classics compilation, are exempt from the count).
