I've seen many occasions in cartoons and comic books, and even in the games themselves, of Sonic playing video games, but I am surprised that no matter how I search my memory, THIS is the only instance of seeing Mario play one (given the Mario party games you'd think he's actually a board game enthusiast.) BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THE FLOWER KINGDOM!? I guess it's kind of funny in a twisted way, but some effeminate douche from a land of FLOWERS gets the girl at the end? I haven't seen such a random prince reveal since Turnip the Scarecrow from Howl's moving castle, but at least he didn't take the girl away from the main character at the end.
