Mario Games are legendary in the gaming world! Who hasn't heard about the red-and-blue-clad plumber? After all, his name has become synonymous with platform challenges! Since Mario appeared in his first game in 1981, he gained a giant and fiercely loyal fanbase. However, the mustache hero is about to reach a new peak of popularity by becoming a cinema star!

As if he wasn't famous enough, Mario returned to the spotlight in 2023 with The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The franchise's newest addition unites old-time Mario fans with a new generation curious to meet him. With amazing graphics and dynamic 3D animations, the movie breathes new life into the Mario universe! But the most appealing thing about the movie is, by far, the way it managed to successfully recreate those magic gameplay moments! Want to find out more? Read on to discover why this is a start of a new era for the world's most famous plumber!

Meet Mario: Our Hero from the Online Games

Mario in the Online Games

With over 200 video games under his belt, Mario has to be one of the most famous videogame heroes! It all started in 1981 when he first appeared in Nintendo's Donkey Kong. Gaming fans fell in love with the portly plumber with a silly mustache!

Therefore, Mario got a name and his video game series. Our hero uses his impressive jumps to navigate a realm filled with brick platforms and pipes. Besides, he can also use jumping creatively to take down foes or uncover secrets and power-ups. Over the years, millions of loyal fans have helped Mario reach the end of each level in his platforming realm!

Undoubtedly, Mario has one of the biggest and most loyal fan bases. It's hard to meet someone who hasn't played a Mario game! After all, it was one of the first games that became widely available in the age of arcades, early home consoles, and even floppy disks.

And this is because everyone can escape with Mario in his realm, the Mushroom World! Did you know that it includes eight kingdoms? Some are dark and creepy, like the Shadow Kingdom, while others are bright and cheery, like the Mushroom Kingdom. Moreover, the leaders of the two worlds, Bowser and Princess Peach, are always at war!

At the same time, the plot in most games is also intriguing: Mario's mission is to rescue the princess from the evil Koopa king. But to do that, he needs to travel across multiple words and overcome various enemies and obstacles. That's quite an adventure, filled with magic objects, like mushrooms, that can make our hero bigger or give him new abilities. Everybody likes that!

Players loved it so much, even from the start, because it was simple and addictive. Regardless of age or skill level, anybody can join Mario in his fast-paced adventures! Even first-time gamers will quickly learn how to perform the game's trademark moves, like smashing bricks from below to get bonuses or defeating foes by stomping on them. Besides, the sounds and graphics make each move so satisfying! By staying wholesome and accessible, Nintendo turned Mario into the best-selling game ever!

From Pixelated Plumber to Movie Superstar: Mario's Big Screen Adventure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnGl01FkMMo

Lately, everybody's been talking about Mario! Thanks to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the famous plumber is riding a new wave of popularity. Nintendo has tried to bring the magic of these video games to the big screen before. However, past movies haven't hit the mark!

Luckily, the 2023 collaboration with Universal Studios and Illumination was a huge hit. The storyline features key moments in Mario's origin story, like discovering the secrets of Mushroom World and his first meeting with Peach and the cute toads. Viewers will also see epic battles like his duel to earn the trust of Donkey Kong or how he shrinks Bowser with a magic mushroom. How cool!

Even at its pixelated beginnings, Mario's world was lively and colorful. With today's technology, his realm gains new depth and charm! Using the latest updates in animation, The Super Mario Bros. Movie brings a fresh take! Despite its cutting-edge graphics, the beloved heroes don't lose their identity. Even if they're a bit different, they keep their memorable personality. Now they just look so real!

Above all, the new Mario movie showcases a legendary video game through a new lens! It brings the thrill of finding a new upgrade or beating a tough boss to the big screen. Those who already played the games will relive some of their favorite moments. However, instead of frantically pressing buttons, they can just relax in front of the screens with soda and popcorn! There are also tons of easter eggs from the game's lore for Mario fanatics to discover!

Even for new players, the movie is a great introduction. It shows off the best Mario games can offer! Besides, it introduces core mechanics and items. After watching the movie, they'll feel ready to play!

How The Super Mario Bros. Movie Represents the Gameplay

There are so many memorable scenes in Mario Games! Some of them might look cool, while others are just silly! The Super Mario Bros. Movie brings these scenes to life! Now fans can watch them on the big screen or play them out in a thrilling browser game!

Who can forget Mario's duel with Donkey Kong? The Super Mario Bros. Movie shows the legendary fight and their epic joining of forces to save Peach from her wedding to Bowser! True Mario fans know the two go way back! After all, this boss fight is the grand finale of Mario's first video game. Did you know our hero's name was originally Jumpman? He used a hammer to smash his gorilla enemies and save Princess Pauline. Nostalgic fans can revisit the platformer that started it all with the original Donkey Kong game!

Super Mario Bros. Movie - Donkey Kong vs Mario

What makes Mario's adventures unforgettable is that they always surprise you! Just like that epic Mario Cat suit scene! Designers keep Mario's adventures fresh by adding new worlds or special power-ups in every installment. You'll see Mario shrink, grow giant, become unstoppable, or even defy gravity. He can even take new forms! For instance, the 2013 Super Mario 3D World Game brought one of Mario's cutest versions yet - Cat Suit Mario. Fans of all ages can have fun with this silly yet powerful version of our hero in the Cat Mario game!

Mario wearing the Cat Suit

One of the most thrilling scenes in the movie is a gravity-defying kart race! Fans will know it was inspired by the famous Mario Kart series, one of the most popular Mario spin-offs. The fast pace of Mario games goes great with the rush of kart racing! Therefore, adrenaline fans can't miss out on games like the Mario Cart Flash game!

Super Mario Bros. Movie - Kart racing scene

All in all, the movie does a great job at capturing what it's like to play a Mario Game on the silver screen. You'll watch our hero collect coins, transform using mushroom power-ups, or teleport through pipes. It's just as fast-paced and fun as expected! Besides, it includes the sound effects and soundtrack that have become iconic for the game. The magic of the first Mario adventures is back! If the nostalgia alone is not enough, you can always play the original Super Mario Bros Online game for an authentic Mario experience!

The Original Super Mario Bros game

Mario Games are timeless!

There's no end in sight for Mario Games! Throughout the years, Nintendo has offered fans a wide variety of experiences. However, they never lost track of what made Mario so beloved! They focus on creating an enjoyable challenge while keeping the story light and cheerful. The rules are so simple! However, later levels make even pro gamers reach their limits! As a result, anyone can get lost in the colorful and creative Mushroom World, regardless of age or skill level! Soon enough, they'll never want to stop jumping from platform to platform!

To sum up, Mario and his pals now have a chance to charm a new generation of fans! Given the new movie's success, who knows what lies ahead for our favorite plumber? One thing is sure: the gaming world wouldn't be the same without Mario Games!

Club Penguin Rewritten Mascot Tracker https://www.numuki.com/blog/club-penguin-rewritten-mascot-tracker/ https://www.numuki.com/blog/club-penguin-rewritten-mascot-tracker/#comments Tue, 20 Nov 2018 18:37:36 +0000 https://www.numuki.com/blog/?p=155 Club Penguin Mascots

Despite the sobbing closure of the official servers in March 2017, round-the-clock igloo parties continue to make noise in Club Penguin Rewritten. You guessed it, the Disney franchise that amounted 200 million registered user accounts can’t just fade away overnight. Club Penguin has always strived to offer a varied and safe gaming environment for children. This MMO is littered with events, quests, and random trivia, which grants players access to various items. Besides all those Penguin Games, which are always fun to play, what really bring the people together, however, are the Mascot sightings, as every penguin wants to get that fancy stamp! However, since Mascots' visits are rather rare, and most players have met only a few of them, "How should one increase his odds of encountering any of the Mascots?" you might ask. This is where the Club Penguin Rewritten Mascot Tracker comes into play.

Read on for finding more about Mascot sightings and how a specific tracker can actually be used.

Meet the Club Penguin Mascots

Mascots are built-in NPC characters which randomly visit the worlds of Club Penguin Rewritten. Upon meeting, each Mascot will grant players a unique background, or items that seem entirely unrelated to this otherwise childish game. A tombstone, for instance. Some Mascots have particular preferences about the events they attend. Thus, the Penguin Band, Franky, Petey K, Stompin’ Bob, and G Billy is most likely to participate in music-related events. Yet, players spotted the band members on Halloween and Christmas parties. Or do it the old-fashioned way, ask around other players.

Recommended section: Penguin Games

So you think your igloo party is loud enough with the new stereo that you bought? The Penguin Band will quickly change your perspective on what is loud and what isn’t. The band goes - Franky the local guitarist, Petey K the accordionist, Stompin’ Bob and G Billy the drummer. They often visit the island together. Thus, once you see one of the Penguin Band members, be sure to look around for the others.

Aunt Arctic MascotAunt Arctic is one of the most beloved visiting Mascots in Club Penguin Rewritten, due to her artistic cap and green overalls. She attends milestone events. For instance, Aunt Arctic Mascot will definitely appear on original Club Penguin’s birthday on 24th of October. If you are a writer yourself, then her background is a must for you.

Cadence MascotCadence, just like DJ Maxx, is a DJ. You can meet them around music-related events. Some Waddle On parties offered players a background of Cadence, most probably because Cadence could not attend the events herself. You can recognize Cadence easily as she might be the pinkest character in the game. DJ Maxx, on the other hand, is a bright red penguin, with a quirky look and a pair of headphones.

Club Penguin Dot MascotDot is the disguised master among the penguins of the island. He has one of the rarest backgrounds to giveaway to those lucky enough to meet him. Dressed in white overalls, he is likely to be found on scarcely populated servers.

Club Penguin Gary MascotGary is the local inventor. As one can guess by his white clothes and round glasses, he is mostly away in his laboratory. With an agile mind, he nevertheless likes a good fright, since he regularly attends Halloween parties. Gary is also interested in history, and he is likely to participate in the Medieval Parties. Check its corresponding Club Penguin Rewritten Mascot Tracker to receive guidance on finding Gary’s Mascot. Who knows what secrets his papers he usually carries with him hold?

Club Penguin RockhopperIf you take your penguin for a stroll on the shoreline on a lucky day and take a look into the telescope at the Beacon, you can spot an approaching ship. The pirate penguin on board is Rockhopper. Rockhopper is one of the most frequent guests on the Penguin Island. Trackers managed to locate Rockhopper more than 18 times in 2018 alone. November, however, is not the best month for sailing.

The world of Club Penguin Rewritten is alive, and more Mascots are waiting for you to discover them. Herbert the Bear, Puffle Handler, and the goofy Rookie are just a few of them.

Tips on finding Mascots

At this point, you might be wondering where the heck we’ve got this information from. The good news is that there are quite a few websites, like this one, that tracks Mascot sightings all over the servers. It has some extremely in-depth detail on all the Mascots in Club Penguin Rewritten. Every month you can see which Mascot is most likely to visit the island, its usual location and useful tips on how to find it.

As Club Penguin Rewritten Mascot Tracker suggests, November is the month when Sensei is the most likely to visit. Tracking Sensei is relatively easy if you keep in mind that he is interested in Card-Jitsu. Also, the trackers suggest that you can spot Sensei around the Dojo Courtyard, Ninja Hideout or Cove. Keeping in mind that this November the Card Jitsu Fire event is about to begin, it might be the right time to get Sensei’s stamp!

Some trackers also suggest that Dot is also very likely to visit this November. He usually attends EFP events, like Operation Blackout.

Aunt Arctic, for instance, hangs around coffee shops and the Book Room. She hadn’t appeared on the island since March 2018. Thus it is safe to assume it might be the time to get out there and receive her background.

The Penguin Band is usually easier to find since they typically visit the island along with other band members. They hang around music-related events but almost never can be seen together, except on their giveaway background.

If you’re after Rockhopper, check for his ship at the Docks. If you see the Migrator docked, then Rockhopper is most likely on the island.

Since we have the jetpack, Jet Pack Guy flies around the island. He attends flight-related events, so if you spot a sporty guy with dark shades, this might very well be Jet Pack.

Meet new Mascots and participate in daily events in this living, breathing world. Club Penguin Rewritten is another chance for everyone who didn’t manage to meet all the Mascots before the official servers had closed. Follow the latest trackers, and collect tips on finding the Mascots from real players. Ultimately, when your Mascot hunting plan fails, it might be just as simple as asking around.

And by the way, if you are interested in playing more fun browser games produced by Disney, then you should definitely pay a visit to our Disney Games section.

We Bare Bears Characters vs Wild Bears https://www.numuki.com/blog/we-bare-bears-characters-vs-wild-bears/ https://www.numuki.com/blog/we-bare-bears-characters-vs-wild-bears/#respond Tue, 13 Nov 2018 08:48:48 +0000 https://www.numuki.com/blog/?p=122 We Bare Bears Characters vs Wild Bears

Grizz, Ice Bear, and Panda Bear are the loveable bears featured as the main We Bare Bears Characters. The three bears are adopted brothers and live in Seattle together, getting into all sorts of shenanigans and having wacky adventures! But how do the three bears measure up to their wild counterparts?
Read on for some fun facts about wild bears!

Grizzly Bear

Grizzly “Grizz” Bear is the leader of the three adoptive brothers. Grizz is gluttonous, outgoing, and optimistic! Grizz was born in Canada, but unfortunately, the forest where he lived was being cut down, and Grizz had to leave. He now lives in Seattle with Panda Bear and Ice Bear.

Grizz is a grizzly bear and has brown fur and black eyes. He is of average size for an adult male grizzly bear standing six feet tall and weighing 600 pounds! Much like a wild Grizzly Bear, Grizz has been known to hibernate. He is a little bit lazy, messy and prone to mood swings. Grizz can roar very loudly! Grizz is very strong and has an excellent sense of smell. He loves to eat – particularly burritos - and he can eat more than Panda and Ice Bear, his fellow We Bare Bears characters, in less amount of time.

Grizzly bears are also known as the North American Brown Bear as they can be found in Alaska, Western Canada, and the Northwestern USA. Grizzlies have long claws that are great for digging and are known for the distinctive hump on their shoulder. Grizzly bears hibernate for 5-7 months of the year! In order to prepare for the winter, they consume A LOT of food and gain up to 400 pounds! Unlike Grizz however, they do not eat burritos – unless perhaps it is a salmon and berry burrito! Try feeding Grizz while playing the Fun Raiser game to figure out what he wants!

Grizzly bears are generally solitary animals and have huge territories. Grizzlies are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals. They have been known to eat large mammals, salmon, trout, bass, birds, eggs, grass, berries, and squirrels. Grizzly Bears can be aggressive, and they do not climb trees well. Unlike the social Grizz, wild Grizzly bears tend to avoid contact with people!

Ice Bear

We Bare Bears watching Wild Bears

Ice Bear is a polar bear from Siberia, in Russia. Siberia is part of the Arctic Circle where all Polar Bears live. That also includes territory in Greenland, Norway, Alaska, and Canada. Polar bears are carnivorous which means that they only eat meat, mostly seals! Ice Bear is fairly small for a Polar Bear standing six feet and two inches tall and weighing 590 pounds. A typical adult polar bear can weigh over a thousand pounds and stand up to ten feet tall!
Ice Bear has strong retractable claws which polar bears use to grip the ice as they walk. Polar bears are known as marine mammals as they spend most of their time on sea ice. Play with Ice Bear in the game Beary Rapids to see how he fairs in the water!

Ice Bear, like all polar bears, loves the cold – he even sleeps in the refrigerator! Ice Bear has an excellent sense of smell like most polar bears. However, unlike Ice Bear, who lives with his two brothers, polar bears are often solitary creatures - although they do sometimes like to play-fight and even sleep with other polar bears!

Panda Bear

Panda Bear is a Giant Panda from the South Central region in China! Giant Pandas are known for their distinctive black and white markings (and for the loud sneezes their babies make!). Panda is quiet, anxious, and cute, and was raised in an animal sanctuary in Shanghai. Panda loves his heritage and is fascinated by all sorts of Asian culture, although he now lives in Seattle with his two adopted brothers.

Giant Pandas in the wild are solitary creatures, with limited social interaction. This isn’t true of Panda, however! He loves spending time with his brothers and interacting with other We Bare Bears characters or his many followers on social media! He even likes to go on dates.

In the wild, 99% of a Giant Panda’s diet consists of bamboo, and they can eat up to 30 pounds of bamboo a day! Panda Bear sometimes eats bamboo, but his favorite food is definitely dumplings! Panda Bear is also a vegetarian, and while Giant Pandas mostly eat bamboo, they can sometimes eat other foods as well including birds and rodents.

Giant pandas have a notoriously bad vision, and so does Panda bear – he wears contact lenses. A fun fact about pandas is that they have pseudo “thumbs” which help them to hold bamboo.

Grizz, Ice Bear, and Panda Bear are definitely not your average bears. You would be much happier to meet them for dinner than you would any wild bears! Make sure to keep the three brothers happy by playing some fun games with them online!

Clarence and the Effects of Childhood Obesity https://www.numuki.com/blog/clarence-and-the-effects-of-childhood-obesity/ https://www.numuki.com/blog/clarence-and-the-effects-of-childhood-obesity/#respond Mon, 05 Nov 2018 16:24:48 +0000 https://www.numuki.com/blog/?p=127 Clarence and the Effects of Childhood Obesity

Childhood is a vital stage for every person. Everything that occurs during this period of time might have a strong impact on a person's development. This is why a child has to grow in perfect harmony with himself and with the society surrounding him, away from significant trauma or excessive bullying that might affect a child's psyche. Valuable life lessons must also be acquired during childhood that lasts for an entire lifetime. The effects of childhood obesity represent a subject worth approaching here, for the fact that it is highly stigmatized and treated as a taboo. Nowadays, through social media, we have the fantastic opportunity to make our voices heard and to raise questions about the vital problems that occur in our society. One of the ways we can raise awareness in the younger audience as well as in the older one is through online games. And some of the most popular games that approach the childhood obesity issue are Clarence Games.

Clarence, a funny and lovable Carton Network character is a perfect example of a child that goes through such an experience. Clarence is a chubby nine-year boy who has two best friends, Jeff and Sumo. He is a positive and confident boy, a ray of the sun who believes he can do anything to make the world a better place. With a strong will and a sparkling personality, he excels at turning every bad situation into a good one.

Besides being excited and enthusiastic about life, Clarence values the joys that life has to offer and most importantly, he values friendship. Also, he acknowledges the importance of his friends and believes that everything is fantastic thanks to them. Though his issue is suggested through the previously mentioned games, it is also emphasized that there should not be any judging around these children, for they are great human beings that have a high range of qualities, just like any other child.

Overweight kids and bullying

Overweight Kids and Bullying

In our society today, obese children face harassment daily, in schools, at the park, and everywhere they go. The link between bullying and overweight kids is quite tight. Overweight kids are often bullied in schools, and some become aggressors themselves. Those who find themselves in situations like this have a tendency to turn to food as a solace to their experience.

To some extent, society has contributed to the effects of childhood obesity. Changes in the today world have led children to eat more while becoming less active. Parents will prefer buying their kids' fast foods instead of preparing the meals themselves. High-fat concentrations in these foods contribute a great deal to overweight children.

A perfect example of this behavior is the Clarence TV show. In the first season and the first episode of Clarence show, Clarences' mom decides to give him and his two friends some treats. She takes them to the Rough Riders chicken, a fast food restaurant with a play emporium. Fast food restaurants have become rampant in our cities. A study shows that with fast foods, a person takes excess calories which thereby increases the risk of becoming obese. Clearly, Clarence's mother is exposing Clarence to the possibility of adding more weight. In the Restaurant, Clarence and Sumo plot to steal fries belonging to Jeff. However, Jeff is germophobic and won't allow anybody to touch his food. Therefore, we can say that Clarence is a bully. He may have taken advantage of his weight and lured Sumo to eating Jeff's' fries.

Overcoming the effects of childhood obesity

The games inspired by Clarence TV show try to overcome the effects of childhood obesity by bringing the issue into the light. The way they expose it is by making Clarence run through the supermarket for food or to hunt down pieces of food through the city, as it can be seen in the Market Madness Game. He is a kid who loves food, and in this particular game, he gets to buy all his favorite delights. His shopping list is dominated by pizza, chips, and cookies. Like that, the food addiction, especially the fast food type is strongly highlighted, and it sends a clear message.

While most of the overweight children are being bullied, some are bullies themselves. This occurs because of their way of adapting to the situations that they face, as a defense mechanism. Being the aggressors can rise from the emotional imbalances. They exhibit aggression while trying to fight the feeling of inadequacy. This particular aspect is not issued through the earlier mentioned games, though. We can see Clarence as being extremely friendly and loving everyone and everything, especially his friends. This is to underline that actually the overweight children are mostly friendly and an excellent company and there should not be any stigma around them and their families.

Bullying can be Stopped

Clarence Friends

By all means, the cycle of bullying overweight kids should be discouraged and eventually stopped. It is not the best approach to embarrass overweight kids into weight loss. This might have horrible consequences and might lead to an exclusion from society and to deficits in the development. As the games featuring Clarence and his friends explicitly show, the overweight children should not be undermined, because they do not require any kind of special treatment. They are wonderful human beings, just like anyone else. All they need is love and understanding so that they would feel empowered enough to start living a healthy life.

This being said, for a better understanding of the subject and for fighting the stigma and the bullying that revolves around the overweight children, encourage your kids to play the games with Clarence. This way, they will have a clear view of the issue and a stronger motivation to live healthier and happier by also taking Clarence's example to love everyone and make the world a better place.

Total Drama Couples and the Teenage Relationships https://www.numuki.com/blog/total-drama-couples-and-the-teenage-relationships/ https://www.numuki.com/blog/total-drama-couples-and-the-teenage-relationships/#comments Tue, 30 Oct 2018 12:53:49 +0000 https://www.numuki.com/blog/?p=107 Total Drama Couples

The Total Drama is an interesting animation show that has found favor in terms of viewership. It involves an adventurous retreat that has 22 teenagers on board. The test here is to see how well they can cope with hardships and compete in challenges. In the end, a grand prize of a hundred thousand dollars is given to the winning contestant. Elimination method is used to choose who stays and who goes home. It provides an exciting atmosphere that is also dramatic to some extent. More drama is experienced when they start coupling and having intimate relations. Fights and disagreements begin to rise. Also, dissenting feelings develop when either two boys fall for one girl or when two girls want one boy.

The Total Drama TV series is a show that effectively represents the deconstruction of teenage love. An important aspect is that most of these Total Drama couples were established in the very first episode of the show. Firstly, a perfect example is displayed by Duncan and Courtney, who are the most popular couple. At the beginning of the challenge when the hype was at its optimum, the two were always paired together. It is fascinating how the two became so popular that every occasion was a Duncan and Courtney moment. When the couple first kissed and assumed their romantic association, fans across the globe expressed their excitement. This shows how teenage relationships have been given attention and approval by society.

The “good girl - bad boy” kind of love

The “good girl - bad boy” type of association is what attracted admiration and support far and wide. Viewers were happy with the emotional bond that the two exhibited. However, not all emotional attractions yield positive results. In the case of Duncan and Courtney, their relationship is actually a deconstruction of the “good girl, bad boy” kind of relationship. Courtney, the good girl, is not that good. She is completely obnoxious through the series and ends up being a control freak. As the show continues, an intro video leaves her fans completely confused since her angelic character is taking a turn. Courtney controls Duncan on every detail of his life, and it is at this point that things start to get worse.

The second season of the series shows us how dysfunctional their relationship becomes. Both of them refuse to change and give each other a listening ear. In the mid-season, the two love-birds are fighting on who should keep a pet raccoon. Eventually, Duncan cheats on her. Knowing the history of the two, and their first love for each other, it is difficult to hear Courtney asking for a break-up. As a result, she becomes emotionally unstable, and Alejandro takes this opportunity to manipulate her. Also, she is blinded by the emotional breakdown that she believes Alejandro cares about her despite his closeness to Heather. Alejandro is an evil boy and doesn’t deserve Courtney.

Therefore, this shows that relationships are not easy to handle. Relationships are emotional stuff and should not be toyed around with. Neither Duncan nor Courtney had the maturity to handle teenage love and to understand that people are not always in control of how things run. The relationship had no avenues of development since it was mainly tethered around hostile sexual tension. With no desire for growth, it was expected that it will come to an end.

The innocent yet toxic relationships

Gwen and Trent started their relationship innocently. Trent is a nice guy who loves to play the guitar. He survives Heathers approaches and ends up with Gwen. The relationship between Duncan and Courtney even lasted longer, because sometime after starting dating, Gwen and Trent break up. Duncan takes up Gwen and starts dating her. The two exhibited a better combination compared to that with Courtney. However, it would not be a surprise if the two ended things. The Total Drama games also show the extents of teenage love. Total Drama twister kiss is a game that aims at helping Duncan and Gwen keep their relationship a secret from other members. A player starts kissing on the twister mat while ensuring no one catches them before the timer is out. Although secret affairs may ruin the chances of getting the prize, at the end only true love matters.

With Izzy and Owen, their relationship also came out of nowhere. The problem of dating Izzy was that she was not aware when reality begins and ends. The consequences of having Izzy as a girlfriend for a long time were not pleasant mainly because of her ignorance and morality. Their relationship also suddenly breaks after a short while.

The relationship between Harold and Leshawna is even more dramatic. During elimination, Harold declares his love for Leshawna through a very emotional setup, and Leshawna gladly accepts it. However, later in the show, Leshawna admits that it was the heat of the moment that made her make a quick decision. She breaks up with him and assures him that things may get better in the future.

The relationship between Geoff and Bridgette is also an unhealthy one. They were even referred to as the kissing machines. Heather and Alejandro cannot decide whether to support each other or not when money and fame are on the line.

Teenage Love Remedy

The Total Drama is infested by teenagers and drama. They engage in romantic relationships without minding the consequences involved. However, all this is part of growing up and sometimes growing up is unpleasant. It would be better if they had therapists to guide them through the journey. Importantly, as a protective measure from the damage involved with teenage relationships, parents should encourage their children to foster healthy boy-girl relationships without rushing to dating. Also, it is essential to emphasize the limits that are needed for a healthy boy-girl relationship. With the right information, teenagers will not mess themselves with teenage love. Importantly, teenagers should realize that true love waits.
