Why Everyone Thought Wario Was Mario’s Cousin

TheMentok 2025-05-10 | For years, fans believed Wario was Mario’s evil cousin. It seemed like a fact. Magazines, forums, and fan sites all echoed the rumor. But was it ever true? In this Lore Lord, we track down the real origin of the "Mario and Wario are cousins" myth and uncover how it spread across the gaming world.

From Super Mario Land 2 manuals to Nintendo Power comics and rare magazine mistakes, I dug through the history to answer the question: Were Mario and Wario ever related?

Mario Was Never From Brooklyn

TheMentok 2025-05-03 | Mario was never officially from Brooklyn.
The retro games never made it clear. But thanks to American marketing, fan assumptions, comics, cartoons, and both Super Mario Bros. movies, the idea stuck. Which placed him in New York by design.

This video uncovers the full history of Mario’s in-game origin and how Nintendo gradually rewrote the story over time.

This Character Wasnt Supposed to Be This Popular

TheMentok 2025-04-26 | Captain Falcon’s origin story is one of Nintendo’s strangest. He didn’t even appear in the original F-Zero game, yet somehow became a Smash Bros. icon and meme legend. So who is Captain Falcon—and how did he rise to fame?

This video is a full history of Captain Falcon and the F-Zero series — from its origins on the Super Nintendo, to the wild story mode of F-Zero GX, to anime reboots, Japan-only sequels, and his rise as one of the most iconic (and mysterious) Nintendo characters.

Why Star Fox Was Nintendo’s Biggest Missed Opportunity

TheMentok 2025-02-22 | Star Fox had everything it needed to be one of Nintendo’s greatest franchises—a rich sci-fi universe, groundbreaking gameplay, and a fanbase that was ready for more. But instead of growing alongside Mario and Zelda, it stalled. Today, we’re diving into why Star Fox was Nintendo’s biggest missed opportunity. From its humble SNES origins to the canceled Star Fox 2, the Nintendo Power comics, and the legendary Star Fox 64, this video breaks down the highs and the missed chances.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds: A Comeback for Sonic Racing?

TheMentok 2025-02-16 | Is this the comeback for Sonic racing after Team Sonic Racing's lukewarm response? In this video, I break down what we know about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds and compare it to past Sonic racing games like Sonic Riders and Sega All Stars Racing. CrossWorlds could be a huge step forward for this spin-off series—or just another attempt at the Sonic racing formula. Did Sega cook?

Rare Sonic Games That Never Left Japan

TheMentok 2024-12-14 | Sonic’s been in a lot of games, but not all of them made it out of Japan. From Sonic Eraser, his first-ever spin-off, to arcade curiosities like Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car and SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter, we'll dive into some unique and rare Sonic games that stayed exclusive to Japan (mostly).

Oh, and if anyone tracks down SegaSonic Cotton Candy Scramble, let me know first. I want to break that story.

The Forgotten Nintendo Game That Died With the Wii U

TheMentok 2024-11-23 | Before Super Nintendo World, there was Nintendo Land—Nintendo’s first virtual amusement park for the Wii U. But as the console faded into obscurity, so did this charming gem. Today, I’m stepping back into the park to see how it holds up in 2024.

I didn't think Mario Chase and the frustration of Yoshi’s Fruit Cart would be as nostalgic as they were. Anyway, I’m taking on every attraction this park has to offer. Along the way, we’ll explore some behind-the-scenes trivia, a bit of Nintendo history, and maybe even uncover the park’s surprising finale—Nintendo Land has an actual ending! Time to give Nintendo Land the send-off it deserves.

Why Zelda Fans Originally Hated This Link

TheMentok 2024-09-07 | The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is now a beloved classic in the Zelda community, but when it was first revealed, it shocked fans with its bold, cartoony art style. In this video, we’ll explore the story of The Wind Waker, the creation of Toon Link, and how this dramatic shift shaped the future of Zelda games. We’ll also cover scrapped concepts, Wind Waker's unique mechanics like the Tingle Tuner, and how it overcame the initial backlash.

Knuckles the Echidna Explained In Under 10 Minutes

TheMentok 2024-05-11 | Knuckles the Echidna has one of the more interesting backstories in the Sonic franchise. Debuting in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 -- he's the sworn protector of the Master Emerald and lives on Angel Island, but why? In honor of the recently released Knuckles Miniseries, I think it was good to apply his story with a new series I'm trying out.

The Lore and Development of Super Mario Bros. Wonder

TheMentok 2023-12-16 | Super Mario Bros. Wonder does a ton of new things right and perfects elements established previously in the 2D Mario format but it also takes a step back with other design choices. Let's take a deeper look at the lore, development story, and overall project that is Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

How Kirby Went From an Unpopular Concept to a Nintendo Icon

TheMentok 2023-12-02 | Kirby was the highest voted character in my recent poll on who you wanted me to cover next. I'll be honest, I played many of his games but I feel like I know nothing about him. So, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! In this Origin Oracle, we go into the classic Kirby games to see how he was created, how he got his name, and how Kirby's first game almost crashed and burned.

I Drove 100 MILES for Sonic the Hedgehog Ice Cream

TheMentok 2023-11-25 | I went on a road trip to seek out Sonic the Hedgehog Ice Cream at Oddfellows in Tampa, FL. If you have one in your area, definitely go try these flavors. In the meantime, enjoy hanging out with TheMentok as I vlog my way into insanity. There's a Sonic Ice Cream review in this video somewhere.

Majora’s Mask is a depressing story…

TheMentok 2023-10-31 | Majora’s Mask will be remembered as the Zelda game carrying darker and maturer themes within the series. This is not solely because of the plot itself but the themes explored within the beautiful, contained stories of the inhabitants of Termina. This is a short Majora's Mask retrospective, briefly covering the story, development and gameplay. Join me in the last Mentoktober video for this year as we dive deeper into the depressing but hopeful story of Majora’s Mask.

Why Were These Zelda Games So Terrible?

TheMentok 2023-09-16 | The three Zelda Games for the Philips CDi are notorious for being the black sheep games within the Zelda franchise. They've been mocked for many years and never seem to lose relevance for new memes. But who actually developed these CDi games and what were their stories? This Origin Oracle I'll take a look at the development of Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, and Zelda's Adventure to uncover what went wrong.

The Extensive Lore of A Link to the Past (and its sequels?)

TheMentok 2023-09-02 | A Link to the Past, in my opinion, is when Nintendo perfected the Zelda formula. But did you know there was a Japanese-exclusive sequel called Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets for the Satellaview? One of my favorite games in the series is Link's Awakening, so I spend a great deal of time on that game too. In this Origin Oracle, we take a look at the extended lore of A Link to the Past and other games from this era.

The Story of the Failed Legend of Zelda Cartoon

TheMentok 2023-08-19 | We all know about the original Legend of Zelda cartoon, but aside from all the memes, who was behind creating this show? What about that time Link and Zelda appeared in Captain N: The Game Master? Let's not forget the Zelda Comics that were being published at the same time. In this bonus Origin Oracle, I'll take a look at all the peripheral media created to promote The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Join me as we jump back into the past.

Who is Link from the Original Legend of Zelda?

TheMentok 2023-08-05 | The Legend of Zelda franchise has many mysteries and a rich history to discuss, so for this Origin Oracle, we're going to take a look at Link...the original one. How did Nintendo come up with his character and design. I'm TheMentok and we'll be journeying back to the 1980s to discuss origins of Link as well as the Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: Adventure of Link.
