Three Brother's Pizza!

Something fun..... I made, almost everywhere in the Philadelphia region there is a generic Three Brothers Pizza or some kinda' of Brother's Pizza. Here is a Three Brother's Pizza most people under 40 would recognize.

In the middle is the original video game hero Mario who became famous with Donkey Kong.

On the right side is his true brother Luigi who became famous in the underworld with Mario Brothers while working in the sewers.

Finally on the sinister-left side is Wario, the mean anti-hero of Mario. We still don't know his exact relation to Mario and Luigi. But I think Wario is perhaps 1/2 a brother because of his pointy ears? Maybe he's half Vulcan or something?

But vexillologically speaking the flag of Italy is on the background!

Below is a catchy retro Nintendo commerical made with late 80s-early 90s funk....

Super Mario Brothers Flag


The Original
Super Mario Flag

The most viewed flag in entirety of the known video game known universe is the Super Mario Flag. After the completion of each level Mario is supposed to jump on a flag pole. The higher he jumps the more points you get. You can get a maximum of 5000 points or a minimum of 100. Super Mario Brothers was made when getting points mattered.

During the 80s high score arcade period: getting a high score allowed you write you name or initials on the public game cart. When I was a kid I really didn't care. But with today's internet it can sort of matter. It is possible for an arcade renaissance but games would have to be super gnarly! They have to be at least 3 steps beyond what home game systems can offer, like an X-99 Box , Wii Max III, and Play Station 6.

As the Super Mario Franchise grew, flags have come in and out of the series. But since the creation of the Nintendo Wii, the flags have made a comeback.

Who knows some day Nintendo may take my idea and the next Mario Game might be a wee bit educational? If they use real flags in the game, when you're done the game... instead of nearly mindless fun and a mild case of tunnel carpel syndrome.... you'd now know all about the flags of the world!
