Thanks for the kind congrats, all, and particularly for the absence of death threats This is one happy Wario today. I spit out my coffee cartoon-style this morning and had to refresh the page 10 times to make sure I wasn't seeing things, before realizing I needed to clean the aforementioned coffee off my keyboard.

59. nintendojoe 06 Nov 2009, 20:05 GMT

60. slapshot82 06 Nov 2009, 20:13 GMT

81. Viral 07 Nov 2009, 10:14 GMT

If they set up a New Super Mario Bros. Contest, they'd be insanely busy with the results. lol...besides, the community would blow up since that game is massively popular amongst everyone already.
