NEW DONK CITY Picture Mario flying his airship to ‘the city that never leaps’. He’d sing with Mayor Pauline on a skyscraper (like in Super Mario Odyssey), or ride through T-Rex Alleyway while being chased by a massive dino! FUR-REAL STORYLINES We saw Cat Mario, but how purr-fect would it be if a bunch of Super Bells appeared in a scene and Luigi, Peach and Toad all transformed into Cat forms? The ability to climb walls, pounce mid-air, and scratch enemies would be really handy in pursuit of treats – uhh, Bowser. FOLDED FRIENDS + FOES What if everything in the sequel was made of paper? Think Paper Mario: The Origami King if Olly got his wish. How long would it take to fold Peach’s Castle? NEXT LEVEL INTERACTIVITY Another…

1. COBBLESTONE Cobblestone was actually one of the first two blocks in Minecraft, with grass. It actually existed before Minecraft! The creator, Notch, designed cobblestone for a different game he was working on before ‘Cave Game’. That was the name before it became Minecraft and was officially released in November 2011. 2. REDSTONE In March 2013, the Redstone update changed the world of Minecraft forever! It added those useful Redstone elements like Hopper, Block of Redstone, Redstone Comparator, Dropper and Daylight Sensor! The most advanced Redstone builds wouldn’t even exist without this addition! Can you imagine no Redstone? 3. UPDATE AQUATIC In 2018, the Update Aquatic revamped the oceans, adding new mobs, blocks, items and structures! We got blue ice, coral, kelp, sea pickles, wood, and turtle eggs, plus debug…

UNLEASH THE POWER When you nab a figure, look for the liquid inside and the special core. When the figure is exposed to a light source, the core makes the figure glow. Squeeze to crush the core, then watch the gel beads and goo release! The figure’s Goo-formation and inner powers activate over time; you can see the beads expand and the goo mixes with the liquid. Your Goo Jit Zu hero will glow even more when the core’s contents spread through the body. Get the lights shining and enjoy the glowing, gooey action! The longer you leave it under a light, the longer the glow. HEROES OF GOO JIT ZU GLOW SHIFTERS HERO PACK Let’s glow! Heroes of Goo Jit Zu are back with a new series – now…

Meet Stephanie Beaupark, an Indigenous Science Lecturer, researcher, and curator! K-Z: Hi Stephanie! Can you tell us about your role as Associate Lecturer in the School of Geography and Sustainable Communities at UOW? S: I teach 400 undergraduate UOW students about First Nations perspectives of geography. I focus on the concept of Country as more than what makes up the physical landscape; Country is a central part of our connection to culture, identity, and ancestral place. My connection to Country and culture inspired my PhD research, where I’m investigating the chemistry of colour found in natural dyes that I use for making art. K-Z: What did you do before this role? S: I completed a double bachelor degree in 2019; it was a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry)/ Bachelor of Creative…

BRACES DRAMA I got braces a few months ago. When I wore a singlet, a strand of fabric got caught on my braces. It was pulling uncomfortably and I had a very sore tooth! Jasper, ACT SLIDE TRAGEDY When I was little, I was at Bunnings and there was a slide. I wet my pants when I was on the top, and had to block the slide so no one else could go on it. That was so embarrassing! Zach, NSW SCOOTER REGRET I was on my scooter, trying to see how fast it could go, but I flew off! My hand hurt, so I went to the hospital – turns out I had a fracture in my wrist! Luna, NSW WATER WOES I got an ant farm for my…

I FOUND OUT I WOULD BE PETER PAN… When I was at a violin lesson, and saw my mum outside, which was strange because I walk home. She said I got the role, and my first words were to ask for chocolate mousse! I DID MOST OF MY OWN FIGHTING AND FLYING STUNTS, BUT... I had two stunt doubles who did the more dangerous things like jumping off cliffs – even though I really wanted to do that! Flying was amazing. After our flying screen test before filming, the stunt crew gave me and the Darlings special flying achievement plaques! A SIMILARITY I SHARE WITH PETER IS… I’m a big prankster. I was the oldest child cast member, but I don’t think you could tell; I loved to run around…
