All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (FDS) SVGA Chron

All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (1986) is Mario with a twist. That's right, you guessed it, the entire game is based off of some obscure Japanese TV show. Basically, it's a 1st party hack of the original SMB, but with strange, demented graphics. This game was never released in the US due to how spoopy it was. Oh yeah and it's for the disk system.

Top 10 Ripoffs of Mario

Let's face it. No one can resist ripping off Mario. So here's 10 characters that did exactly that.

Top 10 Ripoffs of Mario
VGA Chronicles Guy

#10. Luigi

Luigi is a total biological ripoff of Mario. Not only did he ripoff Mario's DNA by being his brother, but he also sports the same style of outfit, the same facial hair, and even the same profession as his vertically challenged twin. To rub salt in the wound of Mario, Luigi is constantly trying to one-up his heroic brother by: leading a series of side games, jumping higher than Mario, and even dating one of the princesses that Mario previously saved. No matter what Mario does, Luigi is always there. Following him, and taking half the credit for every quest he ventures on.

#9. Wario

Wario is a complete ripoff of Mario, only with an evil twist. Around Wario's inception, the developers at Nintendo were incredibly lazy and unimaginative. Instead of creating a new and interesting character for an original game concept, they decided to play word games with Mario's name. That's right, all they did was turn the M upside down. And there you have it, a new character: Wario.

Wario is much fatter than Mario, making him stronger and more intimidating. He also dawns a yellow outfit, which makes his character easier to see in-game. Wario is also known for collecting coins (just like Mario is) and brazenly stole the Super Mario Land series from Mario. But why? Why did this happen? What possessed Nintendo executives to make an "evil" Mario? And why were they so lazy? Unfortunately, the world may never truly know the answers to these questions.

#8. Waluigi

The character known as Waluigi is considered a quadruple rip off, since he is a ripoff of both Wario and Luigi, who both themselves are ripoffs of Mario. It seems that Waluigi merely exists to be a counterpart to both Luigi and Wario. He is Wario's partner in crime (just like Luigi is to Mario), but also serves as a reimagined "evil" Luigi (as if Luigi weren't evil enough on his own). And, just like with Wario, Nintendo lazily used childish word games to name this character. Instead of giving Waluigi an original and interesting name, they just took the name "Luigi" and turned the L upside down, creating the name "Waluigi."

Waluigi appears in many Mario side games, making various attempts to steal Mario's impressive thunder. Legend has it that Nintendo originally favored Waluigi over Mario and made past attempts to rebrand the Mario franchise under Waluigi.

#7. Yoshi

Since the release of games such as Super Mario World and Yoshi's Cookie, Mario has been robbed of his kawaiiness. It's hard to remember the times before Yoshi's existence, since he has infected nearly every subsequent Mario game with his presence like a powerful disease. Nintendo even had the nerve to give Yoshi various games of his own. Without a doubt, Yoshi's biggest slap in the face to Mario is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In this game, not only is Yoshi the protagonist, but he's also Mario's caretaker. This is degrading to Mario, as not only is he being ripped off, but he's also being ripped on! It's like... he thinks he owns the series now, you know?

#6. Toad

Since day one of the Mario series, Toad has been ripping off Mario. How? I'll tell you. Remember playing Super Mario Bros. for the first time and getting to the end of a castle? And after you beat the fake Bowser, there's a Toad at the end of the level? And he always says "you're in the wrong castle." Most fans don't know this, but Toad was never kidnapped. He just outran Mario to the castle, but lets Mario do all the dirty work to save the Mushroom Kingdom. After all, what would Bowser want with an ugly, pathetic Toad?

Toad is the typical loser in the Mario universe. He's short, fearful, and generally sucks at life. But these factors have never kept him from trying to dethrone Mario. He appears in nearly every Mario game in existence and even has served as a protagonist, albeit an unpopular one.

#5. Princess Peach

With the exception of being female, Princess Peach is also a ripoff of Mario. It all began with Super Mario Bros. 2. Since Donkey Kong, Peach's actress felt she had been typecasted as the damsel in distress, and wanted to try a more active role in the franchise. However, after having a taste of being a protagonist in Super Mario Bros. 2, she has since been constantly battling Nintendo for lead roles and demanding more money for her minor appearances. She appears in almost every Mario game there is, and also has a game of her own called Super Princess Peach, in which she goes on a platforming adventure, just like Mario! Her dress is also the color pink, which is a shade of red, the same color of Mario's traditional outfit.

#4. Megaman

Without the success of Mario, Megaman simply wouldn't exist. As a result, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Megaman is on this list.

Megaman is a ripoff of both Mario and Fire Mario, making him a double ripoff, but a bold one. Just like Mario, Megaman goes on platforming adventures for a heroic cause. And, just like Fire Mario, Megaman can shoot energy projectiles from his arm. Of course, if the two ever met face to face, Fire Mario would win in a heartbeat. Without his cast iron suit, Megaman is powerless. Meanwhile, all Mario has to do is eat a flower and he has just as much power, if not more, than Megaman's full strength. You can ripoff Mario all you want, Megaman. But you'll never defeat him.

#3. Link

As a major Nintendo character, Link is also a major ripoff of Mario. But the ripping off doesn't stop there. His green outfit makes him a ripoff of Luigi and Yoshi as well, making Link a triple ripoff of Mario. To understand why Link ripping off Mario is unsurprising, one must know the tale of the olden days, when Link and Mario were student and sensei.

Back in the 1980s, Mario had been training various heroes on Mario Island, including Link. Mario had been teaching the young apprentice everything he knew about magic, heroic deeds, and being a lead character in a video game. Over the course of the training, they developed quite a bond and became close friends.

Finally, one night, Mario summoned Link to his shrine for a final task. Link arrived, and Mario bestowed upon him a powerful sword, asking Link to use the sword to assassinate Luigi. Only through spilling the blood of Luigi could Link become Mario's new sidekick. Initially, Link seemed enthusiastic of the task, telling Mario that he would not let him down, and left the shrine with sword in hand.

The very next day, however, Link had abandoned Mario Island. He never killed Luigi either, and instead had begun working with privately with Shigeru Miyamoto to develop The Legend of Zelda for the Famicom. Mario soon learned of this, and felt both betrayed and devastated. From that point on, Link proceeded to ripoff Mario on a daily basis, and also nearly took over Nintendo five times.

#2. Donkey Kong

After the inevitable fall in popularity of classic arcade games, Donkey Kong took the low road and ripped off Mario.

• Having original involvement with Mario? Ripoff.
• Being in a platformer just like Mario? Ripoff.
• Having a sidekick like Mario has Luigi? Ripoff.
• The sidekick being a ripoff of Donkey Kong himself? Ripoff.
• Saving bananas just as Mario saves the princess? Ripoff.

Donkey Kong is a rare quintuple ripoff of Mario. In contradiction with his past rivalry with Mario, he's attempted to recreate and rebrand everything that Mario has ever done, down to the very last drop.

and finally...

#1. Super Mario

The biggest ripoff of Mario of all time. Super Mario is just Mario, but bigger. He does everything that small Mario does, participates in all the games, and even inhabits Mario's body. It's like Nintendo didn't think that small Mario was good enough. It's like Nintendo just took Mario and ripped him off, more than anyone else has ever ripped off anything ever before in the history of ripping things off. It's unbelievable. It's pathetic. The biggest ripoff was right under Mario's nose this whole time, and he didn't even knows it. After all, who can rip off Mario better than Mario himself? 🍄

The Future of VGA Chronicles

There's a lot of games in this vast world. Since the prehistoric era, people have been making and selling video games. I find this situation to be both fascinating and reassuring. As a video game reviewer, I have so many games to choose from that I'll never worry about getting bored (at least not for a long, long time). I'll still always randomly play and review games I've never heard of, but sometimes I have goals. There are games I've heard of or played before that I feel deserve videos sooner than later. So, here's a little something I've put together to keep track of that.

VGA CHRON GUY'S NOTABLE FUTURE GAMING UPLOADS LIST

The Winged Warrior series (MS-DOS/Windows) - A classic RPG series by Dataware. Something about this game really interested me when I was a kid. I'd like to do a solid run of all 3 shareware versions of the game. If you end up liking this series, I recommend buying the games.

Charlie the Duck (MS-DOS) - Basically Mario but as a duck. Concepts like this really interest me.

Mario 7-in-1 (NES) - Contains many bootleg Mario-esque games. One of them, known as 7 Grand Dad, is a popular meme on the world wide Internet. I want to play this game and experience it for myself. It will certainly be interesting.

His head looks like a deflated football.

Neopets (Browser) - Something I've played extensively years ago. I feel that this game needs both a tutorial video and a general play video. Believe it or not, this game used to be popular. Also, back in  my day, we had Neopets that no longer exist today or were limited of time. I recall one of my Neopets transforming into a new pet entirely due to change in design.

Habbo Hotel (Browser) - I have no idea how I discovered this "game" years ago in my youth, but back then it was an enigma. It seems that today, it still is. I have no idea what to make of Habbo Hotel or how to describe it. It just needs a video. By the way, sorry to all the people I lost touch with through Habbo. There's literally no way for you to know who I am or for me to know who you are, but at least I feel better apologizing for it now, even if you don't care.

Prairie Dog Hunt (Windows) - A fun little time waster from my MS-DOS / Windows gaming days. This one is for Windows, though I haven't touched it in a while and I'm having doubts it will run on Windows 10 without an emulator. You shoot prairie dogs, basically. Cruel, but funny. PETA would be proud.

Visual Star Trek (MS-DOS) - Don't hate me, but I've never seen Star Trek. I'm just not a big sci-fi guy. The genre is often too over my head or hard for me to relate to. However, I have played this game. And I always found this game to be deep and interesting. So, I'd like to do a video on it.

Kart Fighter (NES) - A well-known bootleg game for the NES. And to be honest, I'd like to own this on cartridge someday. I'm not sure what fighting game it's based on, but all the characters have been replaced with Nintendo characters. The mechanics are quite simple and the game is truly very dry. But there's some charm to it. Owning it would be like owning a piece of history. And playing it forces you to appreciate how simple it is and use your imagination to enhance it. Yeah, it's one of those games.

Kart Fighter's graphics weren't bad, honestly.

Monopoly (Multiple Consoles) - Haven't decided which version I want to play, but I feel that this game would make a great video considering I hate Monopoly.

Namco Museum (PS1) - Recommended by a close gamer friend of mine. I've tested the game somewhat, though I haven't granted it a true playthrough yet. One issue I have with the game already is I cannot find a soft reset. So, whenever I want to switch arcade games, I have to hard reset. If there's an easier way, or some menu I can access to get back to the museum, please someone tell me.

Zyuranger (Famicom) - This is something I'm really looking forward to. I'm guessing this is a tough game, but I'm a sucker for Japanese-based media. Zyuranger is the Super Sentai series that Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was based off of. With that knowledge in hand, it makes for a fun nostalgic trip back to the 90's for me to play this game.

Symphony of the Night (PS1) - This is one of the few later retro games that I want to try simply for the graphics. I've seen some footage of this game before and the look of it is mesmerizing. Although, I have a strong feeling I will not play very well on this game.

Super Mario Bros. 1 Totally not hacked or cheated in any form, a legit run (NES) - I'd like to prove myself in SMB1. Basically, I will be beating the entire game in one run. The game will not be hacked or cheated in any form. I'll be defeating each world single-handedly with no cheats. Absolutely no dabbling in cheat codes will occur. The game will be completely legit. I can do this. I will do this. You'll see.

* * * * *

This concludes my future uploads list at the moment. This doesn't mean that this is all there is left of VGA Chron. This is only a log of what I intend to do in the near future. And this list isn't over; A part 2 is coming soon. Stay tuned! Until then, please enjoy VGA Chronicles, as well as Super VGA Chronicles Live Streams!

VGA 'N Friends: Super Mario Bros. 2 (Famicom Disk System)

Super Mario Bros. 2 (1986), also known as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels in the USA, is the sequel to the original platforming game Super Mario Bros. This game is hard as a ballsack. Some of the mushrooms are toxic, there's more enemies, and the levels are cluttered with unjumpable gaps at times. Although this game is intense, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys challenging platformers. It's one of those platformers where you definitely have to invest time into the game.

Worth-your-time survey:
2) Why is Kirby pink? For that matter, why is he any color at all? Why is he not transparent/clear?
3) Which Final Fantasy is the FINAL fantasy for you?
4) When you play Pokemon Red, you get 10 Pikachus. Why?
5) Define "super jump".

Playing Yoshi on the NES

It's time to play something that isn't Tetris. Yoshi (also known as 'Mario & Yoshi' or 'Yoshi's Egg') is something kinda like Tetris on the NES. What's so fun about this game? Matching tiles, timing drops, and hatching baby yoshis!

Question of the day: Have you ever had scrambled Yoshi eggs? Comment your answer below.

Other questions:

• Is yoshi a man or a woman?
• Is Mario aware of what's going on in the Mushroom Kingdom?
• Waluigi has 3 eggs. Daisy has 9. How many eggs does a goomba have on a train to Detroit with 6 Boos and a Baby Bowser?
• How many Pokemon does it take to screw in a light bulb?

How to play Super Mario Bros.

VGA Chron dives into the original Super Mario Bros video game.
