Paper Mario Hits The Wii U! Paper Mario: Colour Splash has been announced for the Wii U, and it looks AWSM! The game will be set on Prism Island, which has been drained of all its colour. Mario’s new paint hammer will let him splash colour all over the island, and the usual fantastic Paper Mario battle system will reappear. Cool stuff – we love Paper Mario! Disney Infinity: Four New Play Sets Coming! We’ve recently seen the release of the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set, but Disney Infinity 3.0 is far from done! Disney will not release a new Infinity game this year – instead, they’re releasing four new Play Sets, one Pixar, one Disney animation, one Marvel and one Star Wars! Woah – that’s heaps of new content! PlayStation…

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Gameplay: Digimon fans, this is the game for you! Cyber Sleuth is the best Digimon game to come out in forever: it gives players a big world to explore, heaps of different Digimon to capture and train, and a cool weird plot about a big digital world! We were actually surprised by how big and exciting the game is – there’s heaps to do, so if you’re going to jump into it get ready for a long adventure! It takes a while for the battle system to really get good, but eventually you’ll be battling huge Digimon and really putting your skills to work! There’s a pretty cool story too – like the name suggests, you get to solve a mystery, so you’ll want to see…

Train Conductor World The Train Conductor series, made in Australia, has always been super cool. In Train Conductor World, which has the series’ best graphics and gameplay, you need to guide trains to make sure that they all reach their destinations without crashing! You’ll need to pay close attention to beat this addictive game! iOS/Android, Traversal Puzzler, Free SCORE 9/10 Futurama: Game of Drones Futurama has gotten its own tile-matching game! There are millions of games like this one out there, but only this one features the Futurama crew! This is a really simple game, but it’s better than similar games like Candy Crush Saga, and it looks really cool. iOS/Android, Puzzle, Free SCORE 6/10 Animal Snap This is a simple game, but we found it really fun to play…

In Japan, Power Rangers is known as Super Sentai! The first Power Rangers TV series hit our screens in 1993, but the first Japanese Super Sentai, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, aired in 1975! The original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is based on Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which was the 16th Super Sentai series! In Zyuranger, the Power Rangers are warriors from an ancient civilization that were frozen in time and awakened in present day to fight the evil witch Bandora. We all love watching Megazords bring the giant-robo smack down on monsters and aliens, but did you know that they weren’t originally part of the Super Sentai series? Zords wouldn’t appear until the third Japanese series Battle Fever J! Did you know that Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie was filmed in…

What’s up with Dory’s memory? There are two types of memory: short -term memories last for up to 30 seconds, while long-term memories can last forever! Dory has anterograde amnesia, which means she cannot make any new short -term memories. That’s why she’s so forgetful! The opposite of anterograde amnesia is retrograde amnesia. That means you can’t remember older memories but you can make new memories. HOW TO BOOST YOUR RECALL! Take a mental snapshot: Always losing things? Take a mental photograph of your stuff by listing where you last had it and the things surrounding it. For example, “Our Darth Vader figure is on the red bookshelf next to my MANIA mags!” Visual Link: Need to remember something important? Link it with something visual, like a video or a…

THE MAGIC CRAYON WHAT YOU’LL NEED: - A box of crayons (or at least 5 that are different colours) - Your fingernails (yes, really) PERFORMING THE TRICK: STEP 1 Close your eyes and turn your back…

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Gameplay: Twilight Princess was such a great game on the Wii that we were stoked to revisit it on the Wii U! Twilight Princess has been upgraded with high definition graphics, amiibo support, and Gamepad controls – we kind of miss wagging the Wii remote to use the sword, but moving inventory items around and transforming into a wolf with the touch screen is much easier! Twilight Princess isn’t as amazing as Wind Waker, but it’s still a Zelda game, and Zelda games are always worth playing! The dungeons are incredible, with some of the coolest items and puzzles in the series, and the story can get pretty weird! We really enjoyed exploring the land of Hyrule again: if you’ve played the game…

LEGO Dimensions (360) "LEGO Dimensions was a super-fun game with awesome levels, funny cut-scenes and you get to build the characters and vehicles. I give it 5 out of 5!” We think LEGO Dimensions rules, Toby. We love how it merges all the different worlds together to make an epic LEGO adventure! Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (PS4) “You can choose to be a plant or a zombie with different abilities and characters. Multiplayer is my favourite part. People help revive each other which is great teamwork!” Good teamwork is the key to winning in multiplayer, Jack! We love how wacky and wild the battles can get, with plants and zombies everywhere! LEGO Jurassic World (360) “My favourite game is LEGO Jurassic World. The people and vehicles are very cool…

What’s up, MANIACs? I really love your mag. It’s the best! My favourite part of the mag is the Prank Zone. My favourite sport is football and my favourite thing is… MANIA, MANIACs! What’s up, Sean?

Hi MANIA, I’ve only just started reading your magazine and I love it! I love the competitions in it and I’m entering almost every one! I drew a Minecraft house with a crafting table and furnace. I hope you like it. Hi Dylan! Glad to hear you’re enjoying our mag! We love it too, LOL. That’s an AWSM Minecraft pic! We’re getting…

How’s this for a large pizza? Big Mama’s and Papa’s Pizzeria in Los Angeles holds the record for the largest pizza commercially available. It has a surface area of 1.87 m²! Talk about extra cheese! In 2012, Beth Johnson unveiled the world’s largest yo-yo in Cincinnati, Ohio. This epic yo-yo is designed to look like Captain America’s shield and measures 3.6258m in diameter and weighs 2,095.6 kg. The disc was plunged 36.5m on rope from a 68-tonne crane, before successfully rebounding. We dig giant robots, you dig giant robots; everyone dig giant robots. Zollner Elektronik certainly digs giant robot, because he holds the world record for the largest walking robot. Built and displayed in his home country of Germany , Elektronik’s robot is 15.72 m (51 ft 6 in) long,…

James, NSW Hi Mania, your magazine is great for kids like me. I collect WWE Wrestling things. These are my belts and figures. I also have lots of t-shirts and wrestling rings. I love WWE!

Atlas Height: Epically huge! What’s the big deal? According to Greek myth, Atlas has to hold up the sky for all of eternity as punishment for joining the evil Titans during their war against the Olympians. He doesn’t even get bathroom breaks! Rating: 4/5, cheers for holding up the sky for us, bro! Paul Bunyan Height: 57.6m What’s the big deal? This larger than life lumberjack is an American folklore hero. He’s responsible for making many American landmarks, like when he was dragging his giant axe and created the Grand Canyon. He also dug Lake Michigan as a drinking hole for his best friend Babe the Blue Ox! Rating: 3/5, but who sewed his giant flannel shirts and undies? Polyphemus the Cyclops Height: 4.6m What’s the big deal? According to…

Bravely Second: End Layer Gameplay: The sequel to Bravely Default is just as massive and cool as the original was! This game follows on directly from the first, but if you never finished Default don’t worry too much – there’s a reminder at the start of how that game ended, and there are a lot of tutorials near the start of the game! This is another huge RPG where you level up a team of four, trying out different job systems and fighting all kinds of crazy enemies! The battle system can get pretty complicated, but if you pay attention and learn how to use it you’ll have a great time. There are a few cool new jobs in this one – you can play as a Catmancer, who summons…

If you’re a huge fan of Naruto fighting games, add another point to the score – this one has been made for you! Platform: PS4, Xbox One Style: Fighter Publisher: Namco Bandai Price: $99.95 HOT! The Ultimate Ninja Storm series’ epic conclusion! NOT! Plays pretty similarly to past games! MANIA SCORE 7/10 Screencheat Australia-based Samurai Punk have made a kid-friendly multiplayer…

Do you wanna go Super Saiyan first, or should I? Have you caught the recent Dragon Ball Z movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection F? If you have, the first two season of DB Super will look familiar, as they’re extended versions of the films that have been adapted to be television episodes. If you haven’t caught those movies (pick up your anime game, yo!), here’s what happened: Battle of the Gods introduced Beerus, the God of Destruction, who wishes to fight a Super Saiyan God – or he’ll destroy Earth! Thankfully, Goku levels up and unlocks this new Super Saiyan form! But is it enough to stop Beerus? In Resurrection F, Goku and Vegeta are now training under Beerus to increase their power level. But their plans are interrupted…
