| A fun idea I saw on another site - head over to Wikipedia and hit random article. Done it? Good - your job is to navigate to Mario's Wikipedia page (this one here) only by clicking on links leading to other articles and thus making your way to Mazza's page. An example would be "Osaka, Japan -> Japan -> Nintendo -> Mario". Make sure to post the route you take! The person who does it in the fewest clicks gets to suggest the next destination page for this game after a couple of days of us all trying. I'll start with my attempt: - Spoiler:
Cycling at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Women's road time trial
to
Mari Holden
to
United States
to
Japan-United States relations
to
Japan
to
Nintendo
to
Mario

| Ooh, fun, I'll have a go at this later. I like doing the similar thing where you just press the first link in the text and inevitably go back to philosophy. |
