the buzz log
No doubt about it—the Nintendo Wii is a huge success. Still, its lack of "must-have" games is cause for concern. You can only play "Wii Sports" so many times before it gets stale. Fortunately, the just-released "Super Paper Mario" should give gamers new thrills.
The heavily-hyped title is already causing a stir in Search, up 338% this week. That got us thinking about all of Mario's past adventures. Over the years, he's explored dungeons, raced go-karts, hit homeruns, and rescued the extremely capturable Princess Peach about five zillion times. Amazingly, the plumber's popularity has never waned.
As a salute to the mustached hero's staying power, we went digging through Mario's pipes to see which adventures draw the most Buzz. Game on!
