Tuesday Reminiscence: Volume 5

This is the Holy Grail of Mario. It is—figuratively speaking—a golden chalice, one with a red ‘M’ emblazoned on it. It also shrieks “I luv-a the pasta!” in a shrill Italian accent whenever touched—kind of like myself, so there was an eye-popping sense of kinship, there.

The rapport wasn’t limited to furious consumption of Italian cuisine, either. I grew enchanted with this particular Mario world—a dinosaur domain that I had learned of many years prior, but had hitherto never been able to explore. Crucially: there was a green lizard thing, and it used its mammoth tongue to envelop and consume all things with impunity.

“We’re one in the same,” I said.
