Nintendo has a new downloadable ‘skin’ for their alarm clock called the Alarmo, and this one features themes and characters from Super Mario Bros. Wonder!  If you want more information about the Alarmo, I wrote an article a couple of years ago about it here.  So let’s check it out!

This one has Elephant Mario running and jumping around the screen.  Of course the alarm has music you can set from the game.  During nighttime, two Goombas sleep and lean up against each other.  I think they do that in the game, too.  They have bubbles coming out their nose, which I think is a Japan thing.  Sounds weird, but I guess people in Japan would think it was weird that we draw sleeping people with Z’s coming out of their nose!  First time I ever encountered that bubble nose thing was when playing Little Nemo: The Dream Master on NES.  Anyway, the Sleepy Sounds just have soft music from the game, and if you turn on the hourly chime, it just has Elephant Mario flicking away Goombas with his trunk.  He’ll flick away as many Goombas as the hour.

And that’s all for now!  Later!  –Cary
