The Super Mario event is headed to Animal Crossing: New Horizons for players to enjoy and it brings with it a ton of unique ways for the two franchises to intertwine. Coins, Warp Pipes, costumes, and more are on the way, but some have been wondering exactly how the Warp Pipes will work in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, especially regarding in-island travel. 

While walking around your island is a fun pastime, sometimes you just have to get to Able Sisters super fast. We get it, we're not here to judge. The Warp Pipes addition to New Horizons will allow players to do just that, zipping around their islands in a much more efficient manner. While we've seen the Warp Pipes in action thanks to the latest Nintendo Direct, the Big N decided to go into a little more detail about how the actual functionality works in-game. 

In a recent tweet, Nintendo opened up a little more about how the Warp Pipes will work in the world of Animal Crossing. It's pretty simple, "Place two Warp Pipes on your island to warp between them, even with one in your home! If you place more than two, the Warp location will be chosen randomly."

Can you imagine putting one in your bedroom and one right outside of Able Sisters? It may just be me because I'm a sucker for getting "that lewk" in Animal Crossing, but to be able to go right from my in-game home to the clothing shop sounds like a lot of fun. Or to a beloved villager. The recreation center. Directly to Isabelle for some love and support? Sounds great! 

Just like any other event, the Super Mario event will allow players to earn unique DIY recipes, purchase themed goods, and further improve their islands in any way they see fit. Coin blocks, Warp Pipes, and itty bitty Wario costumes? That sounds like paradise to us. 

What do you think? Are you excited for the Super Mario event in Animal Crossing: New  Horizons? What other games would you like to see crossover into that island life? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below! 

Ever since video games became successful, film and television adaptations have been pursued. Whether you're talking the Super Mario Bros. Super Show in 1989, the long-running Pokémon anime, or the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie, the results have been as varied as the games they've attempted to adapt. While Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and The Witcher season 2 are currently in the works, we now know the latest game to enter the live-action adaptation fray, and it's probably not what you've been expecting. While some fans pine for BioShock on the big screen or new episodic adventures in the Mass Effect universe, NBCUniversal has ordered a new competitive, live-action series based on the classic video game Frogger.

The report comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which says Peacock's interpretation of Frogger will be an unscripted competition, with an initial order of 13 episodes. The description makes it sound a lot like a video game-branded show that pulls inspiration from popular competitive entertainment like Ninja Warrior, Wipeout, and Floor is Lava. In Frogger, contestants assume the role of the titular frog as they try to cross a series of obstacles. The obstacles contestants must avoid on their way to the goal include traffic, snapping alligators, and hippos. We're assuming they won't actually get hit by a car or attacked by a deadly predator, but who's to say, really? Either way, the winners walk away with cash prizes.

According to THR, Frogger marks the first original competition series at Peacock, which has so far kept its unscripted series focused on documentaries and reality shows like an upcoming revival of The Real Housewives of Miami. While the very notion of Frogger as a competitive television show seems weird at first, it will be interesting to see how it turns out with the backing of a major network like NBC.

What is your history with the Frogger series? Do you like the competitive angle NBCUniversal is taking with this? Would you subscribe to Peacock to watch a show like Frogger? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
