Support Grows for Supper Mario Broth Blog Following Creator’s Plea
Fans of the popular Mario blog, Supper Mario Broth, have come together to remind us that the internet can still be a place where good things happen.
Supper Mario Broth has become a cherished resource since its inception in 2017, showcasing intriguing Mario-related tidbits, including glitches, old advertisements, merchandise, screenshots, GIFs, artwork, and more. The blog celebrates the lesser-known aspects of the Mario universe and has earned a dedicated following within the broader Nintendo community.
However, on October 17th, the individual behind this vibrant content shared a video indicating that the blog was at risk of being permanently shut down. “This is the end of Supper Mario Broth as we know it,” stated the creator, known simply as Broth.
In the heartfelt video, Broth revealed that he had been the primary caregiver for his mother for the past six years. He explained how government assistance, a part-time job, and modest earnings from his Patreon had barely allowed him to work on Supper full-time. Tragically, with his mother’s passing, he faced a challenging financial situation that jeopardized his ability to continue running the blog.
“I will have to get a full-time job,” Broth expressed. “And I will not have any time to do Supper Mario Broth anymore.”
Ending the video on a poignant note, Broth appealed to his fans for support, expressing his hope for a miracle.
The following day, October 18th, Broth posted an uplifting update, revealing that the outpouring of support he received was so substantial that not only would he be able to continue his work full-time, but he would also expand his operation.
“I will always remember […] all of the joy we shared in Mario,” Broth remarked. “And I hope that whatever happens, you will remember me.”
