Mario and Rod on FSN Detroit

Mario and Rod are the single best TV broadcasting team in all of sports. Their knowledge of the game is unrivaled and they have the uncanny ability to lift the spirits of their audience when the Tigers are struggling. Mario and Rod have a vast following all over the USA especially in Comerica Park where their names and/or faces can be found on either of the following: signs, bare male chests, etc.

some common words/phrases used by both talented broadcasters:

Mario: "It's a great night for baseball good evening I'm Mario Impemba alongside Rod Allen...," "He's hitting at a .324 clip," "check it..."

Rod: "without question," "absolutely stellar," "in that regard," "bad self," "fresh fade"

and many, many more
After a long day at the office, I caught the late game with Mario and Rod on FSN Detroit.

MARIO'S TUNNEL OF A DOOM 

The place you go to when you piss off Mario's floating head.
OOOH, MARIO'S TUNNEL OF A DOOM! VERY SCARY!

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! 

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is a racing game in the Mario Kart series. Many claim that Double Dash!! is the best Mario Kart game.

Much like other Mario Kart games, Double Dash!! features a "boost" in the beginning of the race. It also features drifting.

Unlike other Mario Kart games, however, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! allows you to race with two players on the same kart.
Timothy: Hey man, can you come over tonight? We're going to play some Mario Kart 64!
Charles: Nah, I'm gonna stay in and play Mario Kart: Double Dash!! It is the best Mario Kart game, y'know.

Mario Karma 

Occurs when playing Mario Kart 64. Occurs when you gloat about having overtaken someone on multiplayer, and as you race away to the finish line to take the coveted title of "dude", you find yourself hit by a red shell and you quickly go from 1st to last.
Guy 1: HA! You guys suck! I'm about to hand out some PAINbow Road! WOOO....wait? RED SHELL?! NOOOO!!

Guy 2: That's Mario Karma for you.

mario tax 

The exorbitant price that often accompanies first-party/highly recognized video games, named after Mario, the Nintendo character and mascot.
That reseller wanted $20 for Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt just because it has Mario in it, damn that mario tax.

Everyone must succumb to the mario tax now, every collector must suffer.
