relax Kratos, not everyone is as intellectually superior as you are.

but i think goomba is an italian term. most likely, meaning some sort of thug either mean or on your side.

I have no idea what the word "Goomba" means, and I really don't understand why everyone wants to know what a Goomba is.

Beside that, here's what I find weird.

-The ? on blocks instantly vanishes when the block is touched (except for multi-coin blocks, in which it disappears in about 5 seconds).

-On Super Mario World, there is a special coin that leaves a nearly-endless trail of coins behind it, yet it is the same size and shape of a normal coin.

-Yoshis don't instantly die from eating something like a Spiny.

-One of a Goomba's national pasttimes is hopping around in a giant, windup shoe.

-Mario dies instantly from touching something soft like a Goomba.

-All Koopa Troopas apparently wear white T-shirts under their shells (As shown in Super Marion 64).

-Why, on the title screen of Super Mario Advance, it looks like everybody there is taking a crap.

No, they don't. (as seen in Yoshi's Island)
Either that or they started doing that sometime after YI and before SM64...

One of the weirdest things on the mario series is 'C jumping'.
That is to say, change your direction of a jump in mid air... Pure mario physics
Why the 'C' ?
well imagine you're in the last tile of a platform and in front of you there's a pit... and above you there's another platform the same length as the one you're standing in.. (which means .. you have a tile above you at a considerable distance)... well in mario games you can jump as if you where about to commit suicide but then you change direction and OMG! you landed on the platform on top of you!.. describing the shape of a C! ..
Me loves SMB Physics!

Actually, that's one thing I like about Mario...not like (say) the first Castlevania game, where jumps always follow a set path, which makes precision jumping a lot harder...

Uh...that wasn't possible in Super Mario 64... But in Yoshi's Island, you could get an INSANE amount of horizontal distance in one jump.

HERE HERE!
I know it has its fans, but i just flat out didn't care for Mario64. I never played Luigi's Mansion or Mario Sunshine except at Bestbuy for about two minutes. i just didnt like the backpacks idea (i should but don't) or how totally out of their element these games felt. the new Paper Mario looks exactly how i picture a modern mario game to be. but it's not even an adventure platformer, it's an RPG. And I'm no RPGer.

So you're also expecting an intresting Mario brothers for the Nintendo DS?
Rumor has it that it will be a 2D platformer... but with 3d graphics.. sounds DKC-ish to me.. but that triology was excellent....
Mario went 3D.. Gameplay went down.. let's face it.. mario was meant to be the good ol 'stomp em - pick em - throw em - get powerups' platformer..

I'm expecting Super Mario Bros. DS to be very good. Another game I'm looking forward to is Super Mario 64x4... ...although I wonder how the cap system will work in that game because Yoshi might be a playable character.

How about the fact that Yoshi can eat anything, including all varieties of living things!?

And that those little peaches that Yoshi can eat in SMW somehow count as coins.

I know the post with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show was something like the thrid post made, that pic is wrong... that pic was from the Super Mario 3/super mario world TV series...

One wierd thing is that if mario was an olimpic player, a lifesize olimpic player, he would win the high jump, triple jump and long jump with ease, setting unbeatable records... He jumps about 4 or 5 times his height for god sake

-Mario has infinite breath underwater.

-Apparently in the Mushroom Kingdom pipes are big enough reguarly for people to fit in, which allows Mario to travel to places.

-Yoshi can eat many things, and turn them into Fire, or suddenly grow wings, etc.

-And about the "holes" that Mario can fall in and die ... what the hell are they? Is almost every level supposedly on a mountain or something?

-SMB2 was just a dream. Kind of weird.

-As a raccoon, Mario can turn into a statue that takes no damage.

Isn't it a tanuki instead of a racoon? I think that the Tanooki Suit is actually based on the tanuki, a japanese animal, rather than on the racoon, but they are almost the same anyway.

Things that I find weird about the Super Mario series:
- How can Caped Mario fly just because of having a cape?
- How can Mario make his head almost disappear when ducking on Super Mario World?
- How can Mario, Luigi, Peach and almost every Super Mario character live without changing their clothes? Do they never get dirty or what.

Tanuki are raccoon-dogs
