Instead of the usual 30 question gauntlet of pain the question writers usually come up with every week, we wanted to do something different. With Mario out and about in Japan, we've decided to rack your brains with an All-Mario Planet Trivia Special! 30 big questions about all things Mario (and Mario related), all to gear you up for the August North American release (or, for those of you that imported, the game's arrival).

Billy will also be in the chatroom, serving up Mario music over the radio, so if you have Winamp or Real Player, you can listen along while trying to score in Planet Trivia. Here's the address for the radio:

(Copy and paste the address into Winamp or Real Player, and be patient with it.)

Don't forget to read the trivia rules page here:

(Remember, breaking any trivia rules will result in a chatroom ban, so please read and follow them.)

Also, if you're new to the chatroom, you might want to check out our PlanetChat FAQ, to see how you can easily connect to the chatroom and learn what's going on inside:

There's sure to be a huge crowd, so try to be in the chatroom a few minutes early. Good luck!
