Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia: The Official Guide to the First 30 Years is jam-packed with content from all seventeen Super Mario games--from the original Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario 3D World . Track the evolution of the Goomba, witness the introduction of Yoshi, and relive your favorite levels. This tome also contains an interview with producer Takashi Tezuka, tips to help you find every coin, star, sun, and mushroom--even explanations of glitches! With information on enemies, items, obstacles, and worlds from over thirty years of Mario, Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia is the definitive resource for everything Super Mario! Review: A Mushroom-Powered Time Machine in Hardcover Form - If you’ve ever wanted to explain your childhood, your teenage years, and your questionable adult obsession with overalls and red caps in a single breath, this book is the way to do it. The Super Mario Encyclopedia: The Official Guide to the First 30 Years isn’t just a book—it’s a warp pipe straight back into the pixelated chaos of Nintendo history. As someone who’s played Mario since he was nothing but a blocky plumber with a very limited mustache (and who still occasionally yells “It’s-a me!” when entering a room), I consider myself fairly well-versed in the Mushroom Kingdom. But this encyclopedia still surprised me. It covers every mainline Mario game up through Super Mario 3D World, complete with trivia, artwork, and obscure details that make you look both nostalgic and mildly obsessive in front of friends. I’ve had it on my coffee table for a few months now, and it’s become a magnet. Visitors pick it up, flip through a few pages, and suddenly I’m giving an impromptu lecture on the evolutionary history of Koopa Troopas. For that alone, it’s worth the price of admission. Pros: Gorgeous full-color illustrations that make you want to hug the pages (but don’t, fingerprints are real). Meticulously covers three decades of Mario, from 8-bit humble beginnings to Wii U glory days. Surprisingly sturdy binding for a book that keeps getting opened and closed by people shouting, “Wait, remember this level?!” Fantastic value—cheaper than importing a rare cartridge and way more informative. Makes you look like a refined scholar of video game history instead of someone who just shouts at Goombas. Cons: Ends its coverage before Super Mario Odyssey. I get it—30 years is the cutoff—but my inner Cappy fanboy sulked a little. Slightly dangerous: once opened, hours of your life will disappear faster than Mario in a bottomless pit. Heavy enough to double as a defensive weapon if Bowser ever breaks into your living room. Verdict: If you grew up on Mario, still play Mario, or simply want to understand why an entire generation can hum the overworld theme without missing a note, this encyclopedia is essential. It’s a nostalgic ride, an educational resource, and a conversation starter all rolled into one. Five stars, no question—mainly because I couldn’t find a green 1-Up mushroom to give it six.
