Mario know-it-alls, prepare to meet your official match; everyone's favorite mushroom gulping plumber is getting a Super Mario Encyclopedia, covering three decades of pipe-warping shenanigans.
After releasing three Legend of Zelda encyclopedia/reference books, Dark Horse (Indie comics publisher most known for putting out Hellboy) is on deck to handle Mario, covering the fan-favorite from 1985-2015, with Mario Odyssey just missing the cutoff. Everything you would expect to be in here sounds like it's going to be: descriptions of enemies, maps of levels, boss strategies (basically, Bowser 1000 times in a row), hints, tips, hidden pickups and collectibles, coin locations and more. The book is pretty well stacked, reported to clock in at 256 pages.
The Mario Encyclopedia will be available on October 23rd, retailing at $39.99.
