It's Mar10 Day, and that seems as good a reason as any to post a thread of the notable Super Mariology studies I've been doing on Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games.

First up: SMB2 was made *after SMB3. That's why it looks better.

even though many think all of Canada is an arctic wasteland, we've only gotten some scattered flurries in Vancouver this year. so i'm truly enjoying these big, fat flakes that are too lazy to stick around

Photo of a vhs for an episode of the Animorphs tv show that features a boy transforming into a dog. Titles and copy read 

GOD’S PUNISHMENT 

NOW YOU EAT DOG SHIT 

the inner thoughts of the child float around his transformation, they read:

What’s happening?
Sure could go for some dog shit
I eat dog shit now?
What did I do?
Wish I was eating dog shit right now

A promotional graphic proclaims

A boy turns into a dog and eats dog shit for lying 

Part 1 the sins of children series

Back cover copy for NOW YOU EAT DOG SHIT

SOME PEOPLE
NEVER EAT DOG SHIT...
SOME DO.
God can see and hear everything
so when Kevin and his friends decide to watcha PG-13 movie when they were supposed to be studying God knew he would have to punish Kevin since it was his house. The next day before school Kevin suddenly morphs into a dog and runs outside to look for dog shit to eat.
He eats all the dog shit in the neighborhood and the neighbors give this hungry boy a round of applause for cleaning up the place. But when he morphs back into Kevin they are all disgusted. They call him Dog Shit Boy and tell him to stay the hell away from their dogs' asses. Every few hours Kevin turns back into a dog to eat more dog shit.
The only way Kevin will be free of God's curse is to figure out what he's being punished for, but if he can't do that before midnight he'll eat dog shit for the rest of his life!
THIS TAPE CONTAINS THE EPISODES
"DOG SHIT BOY" AND "GOD'S GUN"
