Past Updates 2008

The holidays are getting closer, so I decided to bring reviews of two Christmas cartoons: Koopa Claus from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and The Night Before Cave Christmas from Super Mario World.

It's time to show some brotherly love in the Mario and Luigi series. Here are Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.

Once again, we shall turn back the clock to the days when Mario platforming first appear on the Game Boy! Here are the reviews of Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins.

I have done this review several months ago, but stupid me deleted it when I was transferring all my Mario game reviews here from my Live from Star Haven blog. So, basically, I wrote another version of the review for Super Mario RPG.

The 14th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country US release, which happens to be tommorow, has inspired me to do the reviews of Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2.

As for a bonus, here's the review for Super Mario All-Stars!

In honor of Shigeru Miyamoto's birthday, which was yesterday, here are the reviews for the NES and Game Boy versions of Donkey Kong.

My apologies for the lateness of this update, but my new job and Halloween, I had to adjust my workload. Anyway, here's a cartoon review of Count Koopula.

I have the review for Mario's Time Machine for the SNES. See why I have uploaded this review on Halloween week.

To bring fright, here's Luigi's Mansion. To bring bone-chilling fear,Mario is Missing. Why Mario is Missing? Click on the review and find out...

Concluding the celebration the 23rd anniversary of the U.S. release of Super Mario Brothers, here are the reviews of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and New Super Mario Brothers.

Continuing the celebration the 23rd anniversary of the U.S. release of Super Mario Brothers, here are the reviews of Super Mario Brothers 2 (USA), Super Mario Brothers 3, and Super Mario World.

Apparently, last week's update was deleted. I am not surprised since the host, Freehostia, is updating its database. Therefore, the content would have been deleted when anything is updated this past week. Anyway, here's the infamous Mama Luigi from Super Mario World that was deleted.

I am also honoring the 23rd anniversary of the U.S. release of Super Mario Brothers. So, all this week, I am giving you the reviews of all the "true" Mario platform games. I'll start off with Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers 2 (Japan).

In honor of me finally getting my own copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl, I have added the full reviews of Super Smash Brothers, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Also, I have decided to temporarily remove the Mario Adventure series. With all the changes I have decided to make, I want to make sure that both parts of the fanfiction series all turns out well before its final release. When I am sure it is how I wanted, I will bring them back.

I have revised the About SHR page a bit. As far as reviews go, I have added Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Double Dash!!, and Super Mario Kart.

Happy birthday to me! But that's beside the point.

If you have noticed on the main menu, Star Haven Resort has an RSS feed! It's very new to me, so I figured, if all the big sites are doing it, why not this one?

Surprise!

Star Haven Resort is back! Yes, folks, by request and the need to bring back the site that started it all (for practice and Mario fandom), Star Haven Resort has been revived. SHR is still going through construction, especially in the Mario Adventure fanfiction, games and the cartoons sections, so bear with me.

For now, I do have the full game reviews of Super Mario Galaxy (which was actually straight from my blog, Live from Star Haven) and Super Paper Mario.

Just when you think my Mario Galaxy collection has ceased, I have the official Nintendo commemorative coin that was given to gamers who reserve the game itself! Images can be found in the Trinkets section of Other Mario Media. Also added in the media section is info on the Adventures of the Super Mario Brothers 3 DVD boxset.
