In preparation for the upcoming "Super Mario" film, we took a look at the infamous original from the 90s. We explain what led to this accident. We also renaturalise the world with "Terra Nil".

"The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is not the first adventure on the big screen for the famous plumber. Nintendo would
would like to forget what happened back in the dark 90s. But not with us. We watched the infamous "Super Mario Bros." original film from 1993. In this episode, we share our first and second impressions of the remarkable film and how it came about.

Before that, there are two pieces of news. Firstly, the new iOS 16.4 offers some interesting new features. Secondly, Nintendo has released the first real gameplay trailer for "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom".

Apart from experimental "Super Mario" films, we treated ourselves to "John Wick Chapter 4". A week later, we're still flashed by this trip.

Relaxation comes in the form of "Terra Nil". Here, wastelands are transformed back into flourishing oases. The reverse construction strategy game also has a surprising puzzle component. There is a return to trash with "Crime Boss: Rockay City", in which the entire budget was probably spent on stars like Chuck Norris.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
