Having had tremendous success withits trio of The Legend of Zelda reference books, Dark Horse Publishing sets its sights on the Mushroom Kingdom, chronicling three decades of Nintendo gaming in the Super Mario Encyclopedia.
The Super Mario Encyclopedia is an exhaustive look at nearly every Super Mario game Nintendoās made, from Super Mario Bros. in 1985 to 2015ās Super Mario 3D World (apparently Super Mario Odyssey missed the cut-off date). It has descriptions of enemies, level layouts, tricks and glitches, and guides for finding all the collectibles, be they coins, stars, suns or mushrooms. Itās 256 pages of all the Mario stuff.
The standard edition of the book will be released on October 23, with a retail price of $39.99. No word on a fancy collectorās edition yet, but Dark Horse always does the fancy collectorās editions. Maybe weāll get something to match theNES cartridge-looking Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia? That would be lovely.
