    They’re actors. In Mario Brothers 3 you can see the background bolted to the set and you go back stage at the end of every level. It’s a production. Then they do celebrity sporting events.

      They’ve said as such at Nintendo. All the characters are actors, coworkers. If it’s Tennis Day, they’re playing tennis against each other. If it’s Smash Brothers day, they’re launching each other off floating platforms. Etc.

    Mario is a false narrator. She wasn’t kidnapped, she left him because he would spend his meager paychecks on drugs.

    Mario did this only once. The game is the memory of his trauma, playing on a loop.

    Your playing is his therapy. Unless you lose. In which case, he wakes up from the bad dream in a cold sweat, and has to start all over.

      not sure that’s hugely better frankly, because now it’s implied that the mooks are just there to let the important people act out decadent fantasies in absurd detail

      like being an extra in a mr beast episode whose sole job is to get punched into cold water

    If I was a police officer, and after surviving an accidental catastrophic zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, my government said “Hey you’re really good at that, want to do it 5 more times?” I’d simply pivot to being a construction worker or something.

    Accidents happen in high speed races and no one is prosecuted. It would be a shame for an accident to happen to the lizard during the race.

    I like to imagine Mario and Bowser have a sorta Doof and Parry kinda relationship.

    Bowser makes no sense. He’s larger than Mario, why doesn’t he simply eat him?

    “Mario. You can’t a do this! He’s a the one who keeps kidnapping peach!” Said Luigi. “No” Mario responded. “That’s a why we do do this”. Mario then narrowed his gaze and gripped the steering wheel of his cart, his gloved hands making the sound of a tightening rope. “Today, brother. We humiliate him. Tomorrow, we take a him down for good”.

    You also wouldn’t be in a video game either, but that’s quite besides the point.
