Dr Sketch, that is AWESOME.
I didn’t even know they made one for Nintendo games. Great stuff.
I’ve read a Star Trek one, It’s pretty crazy. You can do everything from fighting a Klingon Crusier to Killing a blob of Oatmeal. 0_o

For those of you still reading the thread, and thinking about Mario CYOA books, click my name for a nice present… I had the first two, I never realized there were more!

Yeah, I liked choose your own adventure. I was always amazed that teachers would let us use these for book reports. My preference though was for the “TIME MACHINE” books. CYOA seemed like a cheap knockoff by comparison. The Time Machine books operated on the same premise, but contained swirling pages and buttons that you had to touch to make your choices (ok, you actually just turned the page, but everyone I know actually pushed the image of a button and made some wierd time travel noise as they turned the pages).

Though I love Choose Your Own Adventures, The Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark book series was my first introduction to “unsettling reading.” The pictures scared the holy bejeezus out of me and still weird me out to this day.

Man, the best part of the CYOA books for me was finding the worst possible ending, and then working my way up to the best one. Thanks for reminding me of some great memories Matt.

Shuanfu: Oh yeah, you’re down there a little ways south of where I was born (if my memory is correct) and yes it is much better. More culture, more things to do, and less rednecks gumming up everything. I gotta say, I’m a little envious
