Top: concept art for the four non-Mario Bros. plumbers featured in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode "Plummers Academy" ([sic], also note that the title was correctly spelled "Plumber's Academy" in this concept art, suggesting the title was changed to be misspelled on purpose during production for some reason).

Bottom: how the characters appeared in the show.

This was the first appearance of Mario Bros. lookalike characters with different color schemes in official media, predating Wario's debut by three years.

The two known Ario/Uigi pairs are dressed in complementary colors (Mario and Luigi are red and green, Wario and Waluigi are yellow and purple). This implies the existence of a third pair that wears blue and orange. Little is known about the properties of this proposed 3ario and 3uigi.

Well. That does make sense. I have an idea though. Wario and Waluigi’s names come from the word for bad in Japanese if I recall correctly, I think it was warui? Anyway, since they’re evil, and Mario and Luigi are good, this third trio should be neutral. Just doing their own thing. Also their names should be based off maybe the word neutral in another language?

3ario and 3uigi are 7 Grand Dad and Sponge. Go ahead, tell me I'm not wrong.

First Impressions

The artwork in this is fantastic, but I wasn't really sold on any of the mini-games which is a bit of a shame. I'll hopefully explain my reasons well enough in the rest of the post.

The interface was fluid enough, controls and options felt good, music and sound-work was great.

Playthrough Experience

Firing the game up, I got a little bit lost in the controls; accidentally opening up options and cancelling when I didn't mean to. I think I might just be used to other control schemes, not sure! I think decided to work through each game from left to right.

TROUT I sorta mashed buttons and things happened, wasn't really sure if they were good things but an angry man kept yelling "garbage" at me.

I then went through the wonderfully narrated visual novel that was Bootleg Brothers Canada, which followed 3ario's adventure for booze. This game clearly rewarded my Mushroom Kingdom know-how as all the right answers felt like the decisions I'd make in Mario.

Then I faced an elf lady as she kept asking me silly questions and turning me into poo if I got the wrong answer. Maybe it was more like the answers she wanted to hear... A cute trial and error experience.

Trivia Trail I'm not even sure what happened, I pressed a button and won? I'm not even sure I got to press a button.

EarthMotherVII was a fishing game! Probably the most game-like of the games offered by the ShexEx system.

School Band Hero I sort of wandered around confused and somehow won, where I was awarded by having a Trombone shoved in my face. Too much like my real high-school experience...

NSE Sportsball was a clear reference to Undertale, with brutally unforgiving game-play. Through a little trial and error I got through it, though I'm still not really sure how I triggered attacks.

Professor Larry was a visual novel starring an angry drunk man to whom violence and murder was the solution to every puzzle.

Finally, I had unlocked the last game. A courtroom battle where to win you simply waited to hit he button at the right time on each bar.

Feedback

Somewhat appropriately for the title of the section, the first issue I feel this game has is a lack of feedback!

Like I kind of like the Wario-ware approach to a lot of these games, it just needs that feedback to sell that I did the right thing. Shake the screen, give me a fanfare, something! Without it you can kind of accidentally mash an input button and blast straight through most of the games without really any indication you did anything at all.

NSE Sportsball gives you so little chance to react and the punishment of sending you back to the menu is annoying. I’m also confused as to how you’re meant to initiate an attack, so it just kind of felt like it happened randomly. I feel like you need to give more breathing room to work out what you’re doing at the start of the avoid part. After that, I’d say ramp up the difficulty between each ball throw, with the ball throw prompt coming up at set intervals. 

The interface overall though was good, I had no trouble finding my way around it.

The art and sound were fantastic It made Bootleg Brothers Canada especially enjoyable for me.

Overall

Ultimately better feedback for player action, better indication of victory in most of the games and honestly maybe a little bit more depth; a couple of the games were just a little too simplistic (the last one in particular). I feel it just would have been more enjoyable had we had more games like EarthMother VII and NSE Sportsball. I loved the narration in Bootleg Brothers Canada.

I wrote this, and @fedoramoron designed and drew it. Fedoramoron is-a fantastico! Original idea for 3ario (as far as I know) is from https://twitter.com/lefthandedtoons/status/1011965669750001664 by @lefthandedtoons who doesn’t seem to exist anymore. That Idea drove me crazy, stuck in my head for a solid six months before this happened. Maybe it will leave me alone now.
