It's-a Mario World: Sweating the Small Stuff


The holidays are a time for cheer and gift-giving, but it isn't quite the holidays yet. Instead of subscribing to that whole positive spirit thing, we're going to continue venting our frustrations from last week, only this time with an finger pointed at the tiny enemies that sneak under our skin. "But wait," you ask, "aren't you just channeling unrelated rage at the simple challenges of a video game?" Probably. But try saying that with a group of Micro-Goombas crawling all over you.

Check out this new gallery spotlighting a few of Mario's smaller (but no less menacing) foes.

It's-a Mario World is a weekly feature in which the ubiquity of Nintendo's flagship character is celebrated.
