Three cheers to Shmaluigi for, you know, existing basically. What a good and charming guy.

Proud to announce, as Poll Committee Chairperson, Community Awards Director (under the big Awards Director, Anton), and 'Shroom Director, that starting today I will merging all three community institutions into one massive project entitled 'Poollwards Comstaffittee. This new team begin work to reformat the old 'Shroom archives using the poll archive template system, and we will allow you to vote in Awards-style polls to dictate the process.

Furthermore, we will not stop there. Our merger complete, we will have the power to initiate immediate mergers with the Forum Mods, followed by the Wiki Staff, followed by the Chat Ops. All who resist will be assimilated by force. We will come for you next. All will be made one, and one will be the whole, and the whole will be named the Super Mario Boards.

Except for GBAToad, because, ewww, who wants the Mafia Hosts Guild in the assimilated Mario Boards?

We will begin our assimilation shortly, beggining first, of course, by subjugating the date on today's calendar.

Hey, I made an unofficial quiz about this month's issue of The Shroom! Try taking it here. Notice that you have to put your answers in all lowercase. If you get a question wrong, it'll give you a hint where to find it after you submit it! There's probably a bunch of bugs and problems because I made it on a whim, but why not test your knowledge of the issue?

The new NIWA member, the Xeno Series Wiki, represents all of its affiliated sites with Japanese characters.



Fittingly, the Mario Wiki uses the character for "kinoko", meaning "mushroom".

Shoey, Waluigi Time, and other Super Arrow supporters... Superb work! What a turnout!

If you've been playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and have snapped some fun pictures, be sure to send them in so you can enter them as part of our Photo Contest!

There's this concept of the "arrow of time," right? It boils down to this notion that, according to physical equations - to greatly, greatly oversimplify the topic - there's really no reason to expect that there should be a difference if time runs forward or if time runs backwards. Yet in our everyday reality, there clearly is an arrow of time. It clearly moves in a linear direction, always forward, never backwards. Why should this be? Excellent question.

The point is, arrows are complicated, especially super ones. Arrows? Complicated. Require math to understand. Lead to strange effects. Requires a great deal of money and electricity to investigate the concept of and nature of CPT violation.

...for better or worse, I swore my fealty to Ninja Squid.

You know what isn't complicated? Draq. Draq is a simple alien. He does a simple job, and has simple hopes and dreams. Draq is the man you need right now. He sees things as they are. He's not hard to understand.

Vote in MSM but also come out to Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown's thread and leave some suggestions. Even if MSM doesn't go your way this month, you have a second chance of getting your nomination in over there.

A little over a day and a little under a day! That's what remains for two major events associated with The 'Shroom.

A little over a day is what you have left if you're interested in posting a campaign in The 'Shroom Director Election. Find the details here. If you have questions about the process, or want to ask the current candidates questions, do so here.

And a little under a day is how long you have left to come and put your writing skill to use by setting the scene for us in The 'Shroomfest! Come out and support the sunlight by describing your favorite moments under the sun!

Do you play Minecraft? Have you ever thought about how starkly different that blocky world is under the sunlight versus when it's under the moonlight? If so, consider taking a look here, and make sure to come and support team sunlight in the Shroomfest!

Ah, yes, the winter solstice arrives in the northern hemisphere. What are you thinking about on this lengthy night? If you're thinking "I wish the light lasted longer," you might want to take a look at our 'Shroomfest and throw your support behind team sunlight...

As of today, Anton and Turboo have been elected your Awards Director and Sub-Director for 2021! Congratulations, you two! I'm looking forward to another great celebration of this community next year!

Hello! My 10 year old son has written a Mario World horoscope and we would like to submit it for publication in the 'Shroom. Is this a possibility that we can discuss with you?

Arm yourselves with knowledge, and join the cause! What chickens from popular culture strike your fancy?

Decide, and then join The 'Shroomfest!

The rooster is crowing. Dawn is breaking. Will you stand with chickens as they signal the return of light to our world?

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to take a quick moment to announce that I am, with @Ran Mitake, running in the Poll Chairperson Election as candidates to lead the Poll Committee's upcoming eleventh term. Please take a look, and ask questions if you have them. And please, if you have any interest, considering running yourself!

Are you hoping for a playable Zelda in Breath of the Wild's sequel more than you're hoping for a big role for Ganondorf? If so, you may realize the great qualities of heroic characters! And if you do, they could sure use your support in The 'Shroomfest!

In case you haven't seen the thread, let me remind you here that, despite the fact that The 'Shroom doesn't release for another week, the Community Awards Dossier and Community Awards polls are up. Please, show some appreciation for everyone's contributions to this community by casting your votes! And please vote in the Mario and Fail awards on the WIki's Anniversary Page, as well!

Hey look a Baltimore Oriole!

Fight with me!

As long as I'm testing this feature let me make it worth your time by reminding you of the time that Brazil became the metropole of the Portuguese Empire for a time when the royal family fled there during the Napoleonic Wars
