Are Video Games Becoming Too Violent?
...e companies for producing such violent games. But is it the video game companies fault. Or is it the parents fault for allowing kids to play these games. I think it is a little of both. With these major video game corporations I believe they have a responsibility to the public to produce video games which contribute to overall good of our society.

Beat Super Mario World In 12 Stages
...First start a new game of Super Mario World. Then from the start go to the right to Yoshi Island #2. The Yoshi Island stages should be a cake walk. Then proceed to Yoshi Island #3. Then Yoshi island #4. Then beat the first castle (Iggy's). That takes care of the easy part.
Here is when things get a little more complicated. Proceed north from the castle to Donut Plains #1. Make sure you get a cape from one of the Caped Koopas in the beginning. Now Go right before the end of this stage and fly up...more
