A Freudian Look At the Super Mario Brothers
I am considered an expert on Nintendo and Nintendo based trivia. I have beaten every Mario game, from Super Mario Bros to Mario & Luigi 2: Partners in Time. I am also considered an amateur expert in psychology – I once took a psychology class as a requirement in college back in 2003 or 2004.
