Top 5 Annoying Super Mario Enemies

While enemies are supposed to make games difficult, some enemies make you want to pull out your hair in rage, and punch the nearest person. If you have played the games in the super Mario series, you know there are some enemies that make you want to smash the game in frustration, cause there is nothing worse than a cheap death caused by an annoying enemy.


5. Spiny

While they can be considered a nuisance as they are unable to be destroyed by jumping on them and must be taken care of by fireballs, or a starman's invincibly, they are consirded annoying when there are swarms of these mindless enemies are surrounding you, and are falling from the sky from another annoying enemy, the Lakitu.

4. The Angry Sun

The Angry Sun looks like the Raisin Bran sun on crack. It flies down at Mario in U shaped arch, and doesn't give up till you get to the end of the level. You can't jump on them, or use fireballs so you need to keep dodging them. Found in Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as Mario Kart DS, I don't know what it's so angry about, but they sure are annoying.

3. Hammer Bro.

Armed with a unlimited supply of hammers, and a constant throwing rate, Hammer Bros can be hella annoying when you are small, your dead before you even get close to them. Don't forget they hang out in groups of three, and I'm going to say your be annoyed when you can't get past these guys.


2.Snailicorn

How to make an annoying enemy, first let make it so that you can't jump on it or hit it with fireballs. Then make it huge, in both height in width, and make them run towards Mario always. If that isn't annoying enough, you have to put them by ledges, and low ceilings, but to top it off lets put them on ice, so Mario can't stop and slam right into god damn things. I'm talking about Snailicorns, only found in New Super Mario Bros, these hell annoying snails need to be destroyed.
1.Lakitu

First appearing in the original Super Mario Bros and most games to follow, they have reached the rank of uber annoyance. They are Koopas, that decided to take to the skies, and throw their unlimited supply of spinies at you. Flying high above you, they are almost impossible to jump on, and when you destroy one, another one just takes it's place. If you miss your mark when trying to jump, you lose your fireflower, and those spinies are sure to get you.



Who do you find the most annoying enemies? Go ahead, and leave a comment with your thoughts.

Our Favorite Mario Ink

What better why to show your love, and fandom than getting a Nintendo tattoo, something that will last a lifetime? They might be geeky, but in the end they are just plain ultimate, and maybe just a litte bit painful.
Here are some of our favorite Mario themed tats.


Brought to you by Modblog, this has to be the ultimate Nintendo themed tattoo ever, we got a field of Yoshis, a kick butt Samus, Donkey Kong, an amazing Link, Mr. Game and Watch, as well as our man Mario. It is all beautifully done with a full colour sleeve.

Tattoo by Juan Pablo Quintero ( Pajo), Opio, Medellin Colombia)
Who ever this belongs to, they are carrying around one wicked bowser tattoo.

by DIEGO (tattoo corps), Www.Myspace.Com/Diego_Tattoos, MedellÍN- Colombia!!)
Another wicked tattoo sleeve tattoo, Bowser, Luigi, and Mario are the stars of this tattoo.

I'm going to say not only is this a wicked Mario themed back piece, it's downright beautiful, the colours are amazing. I'm not sure who owns this, but who ever does, they should wear it with pride, it's that cool.

Do you have a Mario, or Nintendo themed tattoo, or know of even cooler ones, go ahead and post a comment. Next time, I'll be posting my favorite Zelda themed tattoos.

Top 5 Mario Sports Spin Offs We Would Like to See

Mario Paintball Boxart Sports
Mario has been in so many spin-off titles, it would be hard to name them all. He, and the Nintendo gang seem to love hitting the field, or the court. They have played tennis, golf, baseball, and more, but there are some sports we would like to see.

5. Mario Hockey
Okay, it might be me being Canadian that makes me want Mario, and his pals to strap on some skates, and hit the ice, but you have to admit it would be fun. What would even be better is Mario , and Wario getting into a little brawl mid game.

4.Mario Bowling
It was fun in Wii Sports, so lets give Mario, and the rest of Mushroom Kingdom's residents a chance in the action. While bowling isn't a very exciting sport, neither is golf, and Nintendo made fun out of that.

3. Mario Skydiving
I have never tried skydiving, and I think I love my life to much to try, but I would mind Mario giving it a try, it would be fun and exciting, and an all around blast.

2. Mario Paintball
A Mario shooter would be amazing, but I doubt you see Mario sporting a semi-automatic riffle anytime soon. So why not Paintball, lets face it would be fun, and when you add WiFi to the mix, going head to head in a 16 player battle field would be great as you splatter paint all around Mushroom Kingdom.

1. Mario Boxing
I don't know about anyone else, but Boxing is my favorite game in Wii Sports, and it would make a wonderful Mario sports game. Just imagine, Wii Sports boxing combined with the classic NES title "Mike Tyson's Punch Out", while mixing in all your favorite Mario characters, it would be a blast if nothing else. Like in Punch Out Characters will have their own unique moves, it would be great.

What Mario Sports games would you like to see, leave a comment with your ideas.
