SUPER MARIO MEMORIES - Happy Console Gamer 

After all the bickering and fighting going on in the world today, it’s great just to listen to two friends talk happily about games.

Watching my cousins play Super Mario 64 is one of my earliest video game and actually life memories that I remember. I personally never played it until the all star collection came out but it holds a really special place in my heart

Johnny and Rob together is pure gold, it reminds me of my best friend and I. Keep them coming guys, I love so many mario games~

You are so awesome guys. I'm from Barcelona, Spain but I can relate to everything you tell. Videogames are magic!!

i love your friendly rivalry is so funny and you're storytelling is unparalleled it's like we are right there with you, great stuff :)

Rob is the man we deserve

Gather round kids Uncle Johnny and Uncle Rob are gonna tell stories!

I sooo love these kind of videos where you guys show your videogame memories, I love rob with his funny humor and faces.

I remember with Super Mario 3 there were promotions of the game at our local fair, I must have been 10 or so, what a great time in life, so we lined up to play the game, they had a row of 10-15 tvs with nintendos running the game, and they kept track of the scores after a 10-15 minute demo and if you were highscore on the day you won a duffle bag. Of course I never got one, I think at that time I was lucky to get to 1-5. Man, that was back when the pepsi taste challenge was on and everything, what a time to have been alive! I do have to say though from playing it the very first time at the fair, I was completely and obsessively addicted to that game. There wasn't a birthday party I was invited to that they could tear me away from that game, it was nuts. Finally when the Super Nintendo came out and I was old enough to save the money, I got AllStars with the system and beat the game. One of my greatest childhood accomplishments. ah the memories!

Johnny, seriously, thank you for your videos. The video game community is so full of negativity and bullshit nowadays and you just enjoy video games. It's rad to see someone who loves and enjoys video games as much as I do. Thanks, dude.

Your timing couldn't be better. My birthday is tomorrow and I have a Switch with Mario Odyssey to open. Can't wait!

Excellent episode. Great to listen to some of your memories and think of my own at the same time.

Nice to see Robman on again! Talking about Mario games takes me down memory lane and we're I was when I played each one.

Another great video of you two. Been playing Mario since the age of 7 and I'm 40 now lol. Viva Mario

A Mario video with Rob? Im happy now! You guys are awesome! 😄

I could listen to them talk about anything.

These are by far my favorite types of videos.

Perfect video to wake up to.

Teenage Johnny charging soda and chips to game at his house? Too capitalist, Johnny, too capitalist.

The Mario 64 memories all have me cracking up 😂 great video as always guys. The memories and retrospective vids are always my favorite ones!

26 minutes with Rob!? ..Let me get my Rober.

Super Mario Bros. 3 & Super Mario World tie for first place for me. So many great Mario games geez

I woke up and saw a notification, Robman is on and Nintendo too. My favorite storyteller team on internet! Thank you both for all this time making us smiling! Greetings from Brazil! P.S.: sorry for my english :D

Oh man I miss this! Johnny and Rob, the kings of retro gaming goodness. Bring out the beer and beef jerky, good times are here again. :)

A Rob and Johnny episode! More please. You guys rock.

What an awesome video to wake up to! Super mario games was the BEST. Super Mario Sunshine was definitely one of my favorites. Still play it to this day. Nice video, Johnny!

I have so many memories with the mario games. I'll never forget going down to this burger joint and playing VS Super Mario Bros. I was sold. I had to have a Nintendo. My dad got me one that christmas. He said, " If you can beat this game I'll buy you a new game. Beat it in two weeks. Lol! Its a joke around our house to this day,and I'm almost 40. Love completing a mario game.

I was born in 1983 and my brother is 3 years older than me. He got an NES when he was 6 and I was only 3 at the time. While he was in kindergarten class, I was sitting in front of the 25" console TV in my parents living room playing Super Mario Bros. I also remember having bad dreams as a kid, going to my parents bedroom and not seeing them. I'd hear laughing and go into the living room to find my parents playing Super Mario Bros.

My first Mario experience was with Super Mario Allstars on the Super Nintendo. I loved SMB3. Still my favourite 2D Mario game. ^^

Mario 2 means so much to me! Total nostalgia!

This was an awesome video..... I hope we get more "Memories with" videos :) haha

Good memories you guys. I loved New Super Mario Bros. Wii and have very fond memories of playing it, especially that jaw-dropping final boss. The control is different but it works, and the whole thing was a wonderful nostalgia trip for me to the original Super Mario Bros.

wakin up on a sunday to some weed and a Rob episode :) you the man Johnny

Hi Johnny and Rob. Only recently subscribed, but I'd like to say thank you. Been going through some difficult times in my life of recent, and watching both your new vids, and searching through ten years of your older material has really helped cheer me up. I can totally relate to some of the memories and stories that have been told by you over the last decade. Brings a real smile to my face. Once again thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

This was such a nice and relaxing video❤

Lol. I love these older “raw” Johnny and Rob videos. Also-no more falling outs please

Just found this channel, watching a bunch in a row. Good Channel. Cheers!

You always make my day a little more brighter.thankyou.

Rob seemed quite humble here, great video!!

Rob's memory with the N64 controller definitely resonated with me. Through miscellaneous summer hustles such as scrounging up bottles and cans in the ditch to exchange for cash, and Birthday money I was able to buy my own N64 which came with a controller but no game. Before I owned a game [and between rentals] I would sit there playing with the controller picturing how epic the different games I had read about in Nintendo Power were going to be! I ended up getting SM64 and Wave Race 64 for Christmas [a couple months after I bought the system] both of which lived up to, and exceeded my expectations.

These memory videos take me right back to my childhood. I have the same memories about all these games

As a fellow older gamer I love this video! I remember finding a PlayChoice 5 with SMB3 in a run down mall months before it released in NA. Felt like finding hidden treasure.

I remember my dad bringing home the NES Action set randomly. He played it for a few minutes and then he handed me the controller. The rest is history.

rip Yoshi Island :'( (great video as always)

this was so heartwarming and amazing, and of course always nice to see rob again, love you both :)

compared to other franchise discussions, this one feels like johnny was really rushing through it, which is a shame b/c I would've loved to hear them talk more about these games

Sweet Rob is back! great way to start Sunday morning : )

i remember a friend of mine got the NES back in 86 with Ice Climber and Super Mario, it was tough competition against my Commodore 64 graphically and so much simpler to use.

i love when Rob is around!

When I was about 12, I was in a road trip with my best friend. We both played Super Mario Bros 3 on the GBA version and we got all the way to Bowser's Castle within 2 or 3 hours. We used both flutes to get there, but it was awesome.

This is amazing! I always have loved Mario, and I always will. I can't wait for the magical moment when i have kids, and we are all playing Mario games as a family on Christmas. Mario is absolutely the best. Everyone can have fun with it, and if I'm having a rough day, Mario is always there to help! You guys are awesome, keep making videos like these!

I love this channel, it is only about happiness and good vibes, thanks a lot

this is the content i’m subscribed for

Fantastic video lads! Well done. Happy memories! I shared a lot of them right with you! I'm 39. You guys actually had more of these games at the time they were out than I did. But it's all good! Hehe

Fun times with story time.

Damn, I've been watching this channel since I was 7. Now I'm 13.

Great episode! I also loved playing 3D world in 4 player when that came out :D

I started playing video games in the early 80's. Something like 1981 I would beg my mom for quarters to play galaga at the laundrymat. I've been playing video games my whole life. It's been fun living through all the new generations of systems. First mario game I played was Mario Bros on the Atari. Video games helped me through some dark times in my life. I got schizophrenia when I was 20. I literally shut myself off from the world. I hid in my parents basement and played mario 64 for 9 months without leaving the house. That and Gretzky hockey 97. At the time I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was having a severe psychosis from heavy drug use. I gave up drugs and to fill my time I play a lot of games.

great memories for me. Growing up living with my folks we lived next door to my grandparents and my cousin and I would play his snes copy of mario world in the attic on an old wood grain tv my next fave memory was my brother and I getting an n64 christmas 96 with mario and pilotwings and playing them with our dad

I always love those memories videos so much! :D

I had the opposite first impressions of Mario 2. I really just wanted more of a lost levels Mario 2 at the time. But, Mario 2 USA has totally grown on me, love it now!

I played Mario 64 for ten minutes in 1998 and have wanted to own it ever since. I brought it today just have to wait to be delivered

Nice to see ya Rob, always a sure sign of a great story :P

Working the night shift's....I feel your pain now haha, doing 10 hour night shifts now. Ending work at 530am and getting home around 630am-ish. So little time for games and when I do I am pooped haha. Getting backed up so much on games it's not even funny

Super Mario Odyssey = masterpiece

Was wondering where Robman was! Good to see him back in a video! :) *hastily prepares coffee*

fun fact: if you transform into the statue & land in the shoe you'll become invincible

Johnny make a video about what happened with you and rob during the gamecube era??? Why did you guys stop talking to each other?

Hey Rob! Nice to see you again! 😁

My favourite Mario is Mario Sunshine of time, I didn't know at the time it would be so significant to me, I love having nostalgia for it

Another great memories videos guys!

It was so worth watching the old mario 64 memories

I got my NES in 1986 w/Super Mario Bros. I was 22 when I bought the SNES but I bought Super Mario World separately and still have them!

I remember playing the arcade version of Super Mario Bros. a year before getting the Nintendo (1986-ish)

Your videos are like comfort food for me :)

Had to put hands on a friend because he got upset that I beat his copy of Super Mario Bros 2 when I stayed the night at his house. Good times indeed.

Love your channel mate great vids

You choose the same topics I always think about like “gaming then and nowadays”. Nice

Can't wait to put the kids to bed and watch this before passing into the land of nod.

I didn't have a Gamecube back in the day, but I heard stories that Mario Sunshine was bad and all.... So years later I finally got a Gamecube and the game is.... amazing!! For years people complain about Nintendo games being the same with every new version of Mario/Zelda etc.... but they really did something different with this Mario game, and it works! I'm still having a blast playing the game! :)

He bought the Super Mario Bros 3 Japanese port for $100 in 1988!! Fun fact: $100 in 1988 is the equivalent of of $230 in today's world. That's crazy money for a game.

5:35 Kuriboh's shoe made a return in the E-Reader levels for Super Mario Bros Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3, which are accessible on the WiiU virtual console version. Now THAT level made use of it.

Wow, I forgot the n64 co troller was released so early. I did the same with taking the co troller out and fiddling with it.

SMB 3 was Addicting as well as NSMB 2 and Odyssey.

Couldn't agree more with Rob man about Mario Galaxy! It was a truly great game... but somewhere deep down... it just wasn't the sequel I was looking for. Thanks for doing this video, as always, it was great Johnny!

Playing Super Mario 3D while watching this 👌

I was the first kid in my neighborhood with the N.E.S Mario/duck hunt bundle. Got it for my birthday. My grandparents got it for me and I hooked it up and was pretty good at it the first time playing. They watched me play. Mario 3 is the best one to me but the first one is so special because it was the first console I got and the series brings back so many good memories. I can still do that trick with the extra men in that game till this day.

Galaxy series was ballers... But 64 will probably forever be my fav Mario game. Nostalgia triumps. Plus such a huge leap.

Great video dudes, the PS4 controller came out a few month before the PS4 here. It was pretty cool.

I'd say SMB 3 is my favorite Mario memory of all time

THIS. THIS IS WHY I WATCH HAPPY CONSOLE GAMER.

This was awesome 🤙

Bellis Fair....WOW! Blast from the past. My friends own Willow Video Games. Got my N64 from the Abby location before it came out for retail

Man its good seeing rob again in the video :)

I wish you guys would have covered the handheld versions.

7:48 As in the lead singer of Iced Earth Stu Block? He IS Canadian, from Vancouver & around the same age as Rob... wouldn't that be an incredible story.

We want fast Eddy lore!!!! :P

Favorite Mario ever? Super Mario Wii U, for sure! Loved that it’s a side-scrolling platformer in a 3-D era, yet still looks great and really fun. I also really like SM 3 for NES, SM Galaxy, & SM 3D World, but the Wii U SM is def the best for me. Looks like Switch is getting a version of SM U, that comes with both the SM Wii U, and Luigi U, which is a more difficult game to beat. If you don’t have a Wii U, this will be a Switch must.

Nice Super Mario memories. :) For me it was Super Mario Bros. 3. My retro Mario fav.
