And that’s it for Mario Trivia. How’d you do? Good or bad, I hope you had some fun.

What’s your favorite Mario game? I’d have to say the one I’ve spent the most time on is Sunshine. As I get older, I just don’t have the coordination to be any good at platform games. But they’re still fun.

We’ll be back with you next week with another trivia episode. Here’s a hint:

Yeah, more superhero trivia. Expect a lot of that this season. And I heard your request, Jackson. It’s coming. Trust me.
