This week’s edition of The Great Retro Quiz! introduces the first everCharacter Examination. Instead of a quiz about a particular game (or wacky theme), the Character Examinations will test your knowledge of, big surprise, one specific videogamecharacter[/shocking revelation].
And how could I premiere this fun new twist by not focusing on arguably the most famous videogame character of all time,Mario?
Did you know that Mario actually got Peach pregnant in the original ending forSuper Mario Bros. 2? You didn’t know that? Well, good, because it isn’t true! See? You are already off to a great start. Try the quiz. You’re destined to do fantastic.
