Finally, after far too many delays and plenty of procrastination, we’re ready to announce the winners of our ThinkGeek Mario contest (where we asked you what your favorite game featuring Mario was). There were a lot great entries out of the 30-something that we received, and it certainly wasn’t easy to pick a winner. From the heartfelt nostalgic entries to the humorous ones to the lengthy essays, there was a lot of variety in not only the choices but the style.

Following are some of the best entries (in chronological order, and be warned, there is a lot of text), and if you can’t take the anticipation just scroll all the way down to the bottom of this post to see who won.

Sorry about the extreme lateness of this update, but I was pretty hung up on some other things this morning. By now, I’m sure you have all seen that Gabi was the big winner of yesterday’s contest, and have undoubtedly sent death threats her way. You didn’t win? Don’t worry, we still have one GRAND PRIZE to give away today! Here are the clues for today’s contest:

1. Gang-green.

2. OUCH! MY TOE!

3. Gay pride.

4. 2 AM.

5. Ice? Fire? What’s that green shit?

Alright, that’s it. I’m sure that if you use your brains, and try to muscle through this one, you’ll get the correct answer. Think you know the answer?

UPDATE: Well, that’s a rough spelling of his name, anyway. Demi, lovable electro lemon, you have won our fifth and final contest. Congratulations to you and thank you to all who entered. By the way, the answer for today’s question was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. That ends the week of prize giveaways; stay tuned in the future for more, even better contests and giveaways!

Well then, yesterday’s contest went quite well indeed. Many of you had the correct answer, but Chris, the lucky bastard, was randomly picked to be the winner. Unfortunately, there can only be one winner per day (if it were up to me, I’d give everyone who answered correctly a prize), but we still have 2 GRAND PRIZES to give away! Now, today’s puzzle will be a little bit easier than the last to give you who have been so loyal to our contest a better shot at getting the correct answer and winning the GRAND PRIZE. Here are the clues for today’s puzzle:

1. The whistles go WOOOOOOOO!

2. Is that Rocketman or a VR Trooper?

3. He touched me.

4. Are you ok?

5. He’s just a level 2 pool hall junkie.

Alright, that’s it. I’m sure that if you use your brains, and try to muscle through this one, you’ll get the correct answer. Think you know the answer? Hit up contests [at] megatonik [dot] com with the header “CONTEST ANSWER *DAY OF THE WEEK*: *YOUR ANSWER HERE*”. Also, check out Monday’s post for the full list of rules and regulations.

UPDATE: So, we randomly selected a correct answer… and Gabi won! Congratulations, Gabi! A lot of people got the correct answer today, which happens to be Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker. You aren’t Gabi? Don’t fret! We still have one final prize package to give away, so check us out tomorrow!

So apparently, some of you were quick-witted enough to solve yesterday’s puzzle, especially w00tizz … but not before I had to post that it appeared on a certain 64 bit console. A bunch of you got the correct answer, Blast Corps, one of my favorite games back in the days of jaggies galore. What’s that, you say? You didn’t win? Don’t fret! We’ve still got 3 GRAND PRIZE packs to give away! Stop moping and fire up them brain cells, which are undoubtedly lacking after chugging 15 bottles of Game Fuel. Here are the clues for today’s game:

1. He’s got bigger balls than you.

2. Don’t you dare — fap fap fap!

3. Number 2 was canned.

4. Steps? No problem.

5. Hands down the best game ever!

Alright, then, get your heads out of the gutter and figure out the game! Think you know the answer?
