Come on, I know you've got an old pink prom dress gathering dust in your closet somewhere!
Breathe new life into it (or hit up a thrift store in the next few days) and throw yourself a
Princess Peach costume together.
No old pink gown?

Remember Real World: San Diego when two of the guys dressed up as Mario and Luigi? I loved it, and hope every year that two guys will stroll into the Halloween party I'm at as the Super Mario Brothers.
If this is the year you or your boyfriend is going to dress up as the legendary plumbing/Princess-saving brothers, then let me help you get started with the top of your costume — the hats!

I mean he didn't really think he was going to get a kiss from a Princess as a total stranger, right? Check out this hilarious video of the alternate ending of
Super Mario Bros.
I think any of us ladies in this situation would also be a little skeeved out by an Italian plumber demanding affection, Bowser rescue be damned!

Since we seem to be taking it back to the old school this week, I might as well toss in another favorite of mine besides all the
mixed tapes and
pagers and boomboxes — arcade games. You remember those, yeah?
If I wasn't spending hours in my towns' arcade (and dropping what seemed like hundreds in quarters) every week, then I was either deathly ill or my parents had dragged me along on a family vacation.

If you've been wondering what's next for the Wii after conquering
Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, then wonder no more. The
E3 Summit kicked off this week, and the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, revealed yesterday at a press event that
new titles for both Mario and Zelda are in the works.
Iwata admitted there is a dire need for quality games like Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii, which I have to totally agree with, since the sub-par mass of third party games and movie tie-ins are getting a bit old.
