Basically, what things about the Super Mario series make you go ""?
I have several:
- Eat a mushroom = grow to twice your size. (...unless it's a Mario Kart game, in which case you get a speed boost, but that doesn't make sense either.)
- One word: Bowser. (What the hell kind of creature is he, anyway?)
- You defeat Bowser by jumping on an axe. (That's what the spoiler warning was for.)
- Piranha plants that shoot fire.
- Just about everything has eyes on it.
- Things float in the air for no apparent reason.
- The whole deal with Warp Pipes.
- And last but not least, this screenshot of the Super Mario Advance intro:

Well Bowser harkens back to the days of "Hero defeating Dragon" glory. Originaly called King Koopa (I think), Bowser just mutated into his modern form by the SMB3 face lift. I never could figure out the Bowser variations between SMB1,

SMBSS

and SMB3


I'm guessing Artistic liberites based off of simple pixeled images is the answer, but still the tv koopa is drastically different from the video game koopa

well, by jumping on the axe, you cut the bridge he is on which begs the question, why doesn't he turn around when you jump over him...

1. how can using a racoon tail permit flight?
2. why mario can come back after touching lava?
3. how time can kill him?

Actually that happens to most charachters, cartoonic or not. They evovle and change in looks. Mario have changed over the years and so have bowser and his enemies.

I still wonder why Bowser is coloured diffrent on the cover than ingame.
From what I know, that's the japanse and European cover. The US one was very diffrent for some reason. (I have the orginal SMB cover laying around somewhere...)

About Mushrooms, Mario like every other hippie get's high of them.

And get over it, but the Mushroom universe have diffrent physics than ours.

No...actually, they're "picking" the title screen.
Come to think of it, another thing that makes me go "" is those really big turnips that you can get in some levels. And how the hell can you get those out of the ground anyway?

- Since when can raccoons fly?
- Since when do LEAVES, of all things, turn people into raccoons?
- Yoshi. (I have nothing against Yoshies, I just think the concept of a long-tongued dinosaur is funny)
- The fact that, in America and Europe, Nintendo took a game COMPLETELY UNRELATED to Mario in any way, changed a few graphics around, and released the altered game as "Super Mario Bros. 2."
- The word "goomba."
- Who put all those coins in those "?" blocks?

If you still think like this will see much more.

-A mushroom that make mario grow up in seconds;
-A flower that enable you to shoot fire;
-A star that make you invincible;
-Floating grounds and block;
-A cloud where mario can get up on it;
-Doomships;
-All this weird enemies;
etc...

The mushroom kingdom may be a creation of mario author's imagination, but it is a place who I really would like to visit!

That would be so cool...actually, there are a lot of worlds that only exist in books/movies/videogames that I wish I could actually visit...

About the Mushroom, is already posted in the first post (just a note). In some of my dreams I already visited the mushroom kingdom.

Weird things about Mario:

1. The Flag, lowering it does....what....nothing
2. Flowers make you spit fire, or throw it from your hand, apparently that depends on ths shape and color of the flower.
3. Caps are apparently new form of metamorphosis.
4. Turtles can be de-shelled, if that actually happened it would instantly die.
5. Touching a star makes you invincible, instead of causing you to BURST into flame
6. Bowsers head was bigger when he was a baby.

Ok...so how would a turtle die because of not having its shell?

Well...Kario was wrong. If a turtle didn't have its shell, that wouldn't kill it directly. It would, however, make it easier for other things to kill it.

No, some (if not all) turtles would die. I think they're partially attached to the shell or something... someone with more knowledge of turtle anatomy?

I was on 6th grade when I learned about it. The characteristic feature of a turtle is its shell, which has an inner, bony layer and in most instances, an outer layer covered with large scales called scutes or shields. All of a turtle's internal organs have adapted to function within this unusual armor.

Moving along... Every ****ing thing about the Mario universe kinda scares me a little. I know I can't be the only one to think of this, but the whole thing is probably a hallucination caused by those damn mushrooms.

1. Perhaps you would care to do a little research before you take a guess. They aren't even called goombas in Japan, they're referred to as Kuribo.

2. But he's not gonna just give it away, he's WARIO.
