The Goomba is a mushroom. We still don't know how Bowser got his name. Doki Doki Panic began its life as a Super Mario game. Is this sheer lunacy? No! These facts are the thoroughly researched findings of one Drew Mackie, who uncovered 101 Mario mind-blowers via his Mario 101 series on Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games. And on this episode, Drew is here to lead Jeremy, Bob, and Stuart through his collection of truth bombs that dispel conventional wisdom, pinpoint surprising origins, and speculate about the big questions that still don't have answers. Once you press play, reality as you know it will be changed forever.
(And check out Drew's entire Mario 101 series RIGHT HERE!)
