1. (SO) The events of Braveheart
2. (SN) In 1705, abundant gold is discovered in Scotland, found by following ducks
3. (SC) Carl Barks creates Scrooge McDuck comics, but his backstory is rewritten to involve no hard work because he's the heir of a Scottish gold mine
Clearly, we must use the power of CLAIRVOYANCE to peek at all possible futures and select the best one.

This is a sweet thought, because when I played through the game, I even found the body language/poses of the constructs to be quite endearing! They're so polite, too.
Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! Did you enjoy the show last month? Hopefully you did, and hopefully you're ready for issue 196, because it is out now!
We have plenty packed into this issue for you, from hot vacation spots down on Isle Delfino to clever comics, from album reviews to...
According to this reckoning, he'll be 34 by the ceremony this- Aaaaaand I just realized you more likely meant going by his debut as a character and not an obscure Supper Mario Broth tweet, which means he'd be 37 by the time of the ceremony, going off the Japanese release date for the original SMB.
The year? 2007. A lawless time. The Wii was still new. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Not even a whisper on the wind. The 'Shroom? In its infancy, and not that much to talk about at that point, if we're being honest.
You might ask yourself "why would anyone go back to those dark times?" Yeah, well kid...
Woah! It's me, the third host of this thing. I come with an update, providing clarifying information that was never made fully clear. For the record, you can vote even if you didn't enter a character.
The same rules apply to you. Still use all seven votes, and, unfortunately, you still have the...
"Ancient ruins discovered," and this assortment of the multitude can only organize to battle for it? Such is to be expected. Marevelous. Why should I deign to join in a competition as disorderly and chaotic when the opportunity presents that I might be at leisure while they eliminate and weaken...
Come one, come all! Get your tickets! Grab your popcorn and your favorite candies! The show is about to begin! issue 195 of The 'Shroom is here!
For our summer special, we're celebrating the big success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie by theming this issue around movies and cinema! Click over to...
We've got to spend a little more time preparing the theater, but start lining up at the concession stand, because the big show - issue 195 - will start later today!
Hey, it's good you're scaling your targets to what you think is most achievable for you. I'm sure you'll create something good this year!
That said, for everyone's benefit, it should be mentioned that the endcap awards aren't necessarily expected to be huge, flashy productions. The most...
Finishing touches on presentations for the Mario Awards 30 will be underway and the great joke of the year will be the swift and unexpected collapse of Google.
It's a common problem. You go to the theater, and anymore it seems like there's always someone who has their phone out! They're either checking their messages or they're even recording videos of themselves, these days.
You've surely been there before, haven't you? When the theater staff won't...

Welcome! I see you have a good taste in games as well as in online newspapers, ahaha!
It's great to see a fellow fan of The 'Shroom. Did you have any old favorites from when you read?

Waluigi Time! My greased food cart rolling in the dough, how ya doin'? Listen, my ransom-paying shining spoon, your old pal Honio's got a prime tip for you this time. Word on the street's that there's a new brawl-a-brewin' in some kind of... ehhh, history place, I don't know, but I...
Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! We're zooming through May, with big things on the horizon for this summer as Awards season kicks off, so you may want to read issue 194 of The 'Shroom to get all caught up before things pick up!
Be sure to give the Staff Notes a read this month for some...
I think you can get away with "Watashi wa [name]" if you just need a general purpose way of saying it? I don't know Japanese, really, so take that advice with a grain of salt, but I know that translates to "I am name", and I know "watashi" can be gender-neutral in a formal context.
If you're...
I'm voting for option five, myself. M&L nailed that. I think it's great when this strange Italian man is just charades-ing his way through an adventure.
Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! Issue 193 is ready for you, and there's plenty for you to see, so go and give it a read!
In addition to all of our usual offerings for you, we have a couple of pieces of news for you. First, while our highest priority this year is preparing issue 200...
The 'Shroom will release a little later than usual tomorrow, with our aim being around 1:00 to 2:00 PM EDT. We can't wait to share issue 193 with you, so please look forward to it!
Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! Are you ready for issue 193 tomorrow? I can assure you that we're eager to share it with you! I'd like to let you know, however, that we'll be sharing it with you a little later in the day tomorrow than we usually do.
While we typically aim to get the...
I'd pick option two, as well. The movie was enjoyable - very fun stuff - and I didn't have any major issues with it. As a matter of fact, I found the score was, for the most part, great. I think it would have benefited from being just a tad less compressed, though.
My honest take here, Blathers, is that I'm most interested in whichever idea you feel you are more capable of and comfortable with hosting and whichever is more developed.
That is to say, I'm equally interested in seeing you give the Midnight Hotel another shot and seeing you give Duowars a...
We have a few options for hiding little images around the paper. We've even had a few interactive scavenger hunts all about finding hidden images in the paper, like our recent scavenger hunt in issue 189.
We've got ways to make something like this happen, rest assured!
Thank you very much for your suggestion! It's a neat idea that reflects Nintendo's own way of celebrating an anniversary. We'll take it into consideration!
Thank you for your interest in The 'Shroom, as well! It's always great to have an interested reader reach out!
Effective immediately, there's a new bird in town. Today and forever hence, we will honor the actual best bird with a name starting with the letter "p", the noble Phoenix.
While it's not as efficient as the Switch menu, I do sometimes feel some nostalgia for the Wii menu. It just had this nice sleek-but-playful look, where it avoided going too minimalist with its buttons, sound effects, and submenus like the message board, but also kept everything nicely...
