Join Logan Plant and Peer Schneider as Logan breaks down his review of Nintendo's newest Switch game. Then, Super Mario Maker player Thabeast721 joins the show to talk all about Team 0%’s mission to beat every single level in the Wii U game, and the one pesky level no one in the world has managed to clear.
The ending of 1985's Super Mario Bros is soundtracked by the iconic bleeps and blips of the 8-bit NES.
Princess Peach gives her thanks in a text bubble after Mario finds her in another castle for the whole game. She has been less one-dimensional these days due to video games and feminism progressing over past 40 years.
Despite the enjoyable premise and high production values, Princess Peach's long-awaited star turn feels disappointingly patronizing, one-dimensional and forgettable.

Bias
(75%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias.

This reinforces traditional gender roles where women are seen as weak and dependent on men for protection. Additionally, the article mentions that Showtime puts Nintendo's pink princess literally in the spotlight, implying that her fame and popularity are due to her appearance rather than any actual talent or skill she possesses.

Princess Peach is taking center stage in a new Nintendo game called Princess Peach: Showtime.

Peach is joined by new friend Stella, a Sparkle sprite who watches over the theater, and they must enter each stage play to solve puzzles, defeat enemies and help take the theater back. Peach transforms into various characters such as swordfighter, ninja detective baker mermaid cowgirl.
