Sundry Sunday: The Amazing Circus, and Christmas in Mario Land

Sundry Sunday is our weekly feature of fun gaming culture finds and videos, from across the years and even decades.

Two new items. The short one first, a brief holiday video from pannenkoek, the Mario 64 expert. It isn’t about beating the game without pressing the A button, nor is it a deep dive into the game’s internals in such a way that you could use it in a computer science course. It’s just Christmas as it’s celebrated on Cold Cold Mountain, with festive decorations and multicolored penguins. It’s only a minute and a half:

You want something longer? The Amazing Digital Circus just released episode 7, and it’s much darker than past episodes. What’s that, you think it’s been plenty dark already? Well, now it’s even more so, despite the fact it’s titled Beach Episode and features the return of the Sun. (33 minutes)

Not long ago the creators mentioned that Amazing Digital Circus was never envisioned as a long-term series, that just keeps running on and on, and I think I remember them saying the plan was for about nine or ten episodes? Not many of those left. I wonder if afterwards Gooseworx will get back to continuing her personal series, like the adventures of Elaine or Darly Boxman, or maybe something else like Little Runmo?
