Purple Power
Lots of purple monsters this week: Shadow Bugs by Ty, Zombie Shroom by John Mornini, and Jarvis by Noah. Pat did art for all three.
We also have some Hangin' Buzzy info added to the Buzzy Beetle page, thanks to Noah, and a new link to a gaming and entertainment blog called Old Wizard.
(Okay, I guess Jarvis is more pink than purple, but work with me here, people!)

You got a Pokemon in my Mario!
I'm going to be away this weekend, but you still get Rayquaza and Undergrunt Gunner before I go. Emerald Koopa wrote Rayquaza, with art by Pat, and Harry wrote Undergrunt, with art by me.
I've also added a small new feature to the site: now you can go straight to a monster by going to http://www.mariomonsters.com/archives/character.php?name=Monster_Name. Make sure you capitalize the name and put underscores (_) wherever a space should be.

Super Mario RPG and Friends
We have two Super Mario RPG enemies this week: Ninja by Pat, and Boomer by me. We also have Frost Piranha by Michael M and Deadly Door by Noah. I did the art for both.
Just a reminder, everyone: All of the bosses from Super Smash Bros. Brawl have already been submitted to the site, we're just working on art for them. Have a good week!

Boss Face-off
I'm out of town this weekend and short on time so sadly this week's update is a bit small: Porky arrives from Emerald Koopa, with art by Pat, and Megaleg by Pat, with art by Zargon!
I also added a new evolution screenshot of Magikoopa for Super Mario Galaxy.

Ten Years of Games
Today's monsters span games going as far back as Super Mario Bros. 2 all the way up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl! The monsters are: Albatoss by Nintendo Gladiator (art by me), Juju by Pat, Phanta Manta by Noah and Big Primid by Dry Bones 12 (art for the last three by Pat).
We also have two new links: One for MyWii Center, which offers games and other multimedia, all of which are Wii-compatible, and another for Mechaliz Industries, a Mega Man fansite with some Metroid content.

TGIF
For the second day of our long weekend we have Meta-Ridley by Emerald Koopa with art by Pat. His look is from the Prime games rather than Smash Bros. Brawl.
