Sorry, just humming the spiffingly catchy tune to Super Mario Brothers, avilable
in the shops now with mixes  by  Nalin  &  Kane, The Trouser Enthusiasts and the
inevitable speed garage reworking by Dreem Teem.

Those of you familar with the  third  GodBoy  release  should have a fairly good
idea how to play Mario. For those having difficulty understanding the concept of
running and jumping, here is our guest celebrtiy to 'fill you in'.

 SUPER MARIO PLAYER'S GUIDE

 By Sean 'GERROFF OUR LAND' Connery

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Mario and Luigi? They sound like spies to me. Probably gorgeous Italian women in
disguse who false moustaches and plumbing  uniforms  will  fall off the moment I
stroll purposefully into the room.

You begin at the start, and there is no  M to give you a briefing of the mission
- that's now my job. Like the labour  government, you start at the left and must
move as far to the right as possible - as  this is where the end of the level is
situated.

To help you with  your  task  you  have  two  legs  which  facilitate the action
commonly known as running. If you just press left and right you will simply walk
about - Angus Fraser mode. To run, hold  down button B and press in a direction.
This enables a swift movement, like a Robin Cook chasing a secretary.

However, some objects are immovable - rather like Ben Nevis - and have to jumped
in one giant stride. I haven't  yet  attempted  to  leap  Ben Nevis is one giant
stride, but for a man of my ability I shouldn't imagine it to be a problem.

To jump press button A. If you are  running  and then press jump, your jump will
be bigger than normal ( like my ego compared to the average man's ).

Those blocks scattered about the level  showing a blatant disregrard for gravity
are multi purpose. Not only can you  leap  on  them,  but if you use your head -
literally - and head-butt them from bellow you will discover some gadgets that Q
has carefully stuffed in them for you.

The KGB have come up with some  rather  cunning  disguises, but I can still spot
them a mile off. If  you  see  an  innocent  looking  creature moving across the
screen you can  be  sure  is  really  an  agent  hell  bent  on  the downfall of
capitalism. To dispose of them I use  an  ancient Tibetan technique taught to me
by a wise and learned  football  hooligan.  Jump  on  their  heads. Its the only
language they understand.

Also keep an eye out for the hidden  coins  scattered around the level - you can
never have enough money I say. If you collect a certain amount of coins then you
will gain an extra life - but  remember  'You  Only Live Twice' well three times
plus extra lives, and forever if you put trainer mode on. Perhaps we should have
trained that film and retitled it 'You Only Live Forever'.

The main aim is to find the princess  "Daisy  Galore". I'll give you a clue, she
is on the last level ( isn't that always  the case with these games? ). You will
probably end up in bed with her, I always did.

And talking of the Royal Family -  they  should be disbanded and Scotland should
become a Republic! It's a disgrace that such an anachronistic organisation wield
such power and respect. But before that, where's my Knighthood you bastards?
