Hey now!
I know what'cher thinking: I must be scoring the primo crack to be claiming that, back in the day, Sega released a completely legitimate, licensed Mario game for wide commercial release that could be played on the Genesis or Mega Drive console. And I must admit, if I hadn't actually seen a CIB copy of it at a local thrift a few weeks back, I'd have the exact same attitude you do right now.
But I assure you, it is very real. And, thanks to the miracle of the internet, I have highly compelling photographic evidence:

I'd like to know what all you doubting Thomases have to say now!
...
Hee heee... sorry, I simply couldn't resist. I really did see this at a thrift a few weeks ago, which inspired me to write and post this silly blog. I briefly considered holding this back for April Fool's, but I just couldn't sit on it for that long. Besides, I thought it'd be a novel way to celebrate the start of the NHL season.
So, no hard feelings, guys?
Um... guys? What are you--
Hey, wait a minute-- can't you take a little-- NO, PLEASE, NOT THE FACE!!!

Bastard lol

I knew exactly where you were going with that. Can't fool someone that has most of the Genesis library memorized.

Wow, Super Mario Hockey looks far more tame than Nintendo's other sports outings. I sure don't think a more sim-like approach fits the mushroom kingdom, but then anything more complicated than Blades of Steel is over my head...

To add to the joke, rumor has it the hockey title for Atari Lynx was supposedly almost called Super Mario Hockey (starring mr. L. up there) until Atari chickened out from fear of Big N lawyers. Probably wise.

Yeah Hockey. I do live in Hockey Town after all.
But their is a port of Mario that will work with the Genesis for real. Though its just a hack.

Well, what about those Pokémon games on the SEGA Pico?
| |
Oh and don't forget about Mario Andretti Racing on the Genesis.
| |
@Razor Knuckles: Yeah, when I see Mario for the Mega Drive Mario Andretti Racing is normally my first guess. I didn't actually know about Mario Lemieux Hockey until now. I guess because it was never saw it down here in Australia.
