[@TheDannySchool]

***** But remember, Mari. It's JUST a theory. A game theory!

[@Zange217]

That's what Nintendo wants you to think Mari. They try to hide it, but no more. If Mario really was pointing for Yoshi, wouldn't Mario at least be pointing with his finger? He keeps his hand in a fist when he "points". When Mario clears a level, he shows a peace sign with his fingers, so the creators of the game could've had him pointing with a finger. But hey, it's just a theory...

[@TheDannySchool]

Maybe there will be stronger evidence towards Mario's inner evil in part 2

[@TheDannySchool]

Until then though I am still thinking that Mario is probably still the hero here.

[@Zange217]

There's another dark part in the Mario series, specifically Super Mario 64. There's an area in the Hazy Maze Cave where Mario can ride Dori, a giant blue dinosaur that happily gives Mario a ride. But have you noticed what you have to do to make her stop moving when riding her? Mario ground pounds her back. Now since she's so big you might think that the ground pound doesn't hurt her, but it shows that it does. When you ground pound on Dori, she roars with pain! It's also possible that she puts her head down because the ground pound hurt so much that she must rest. When she regains her strength, she continues to swim again until Mario decides it's time to stop. But hey, it's just a theory. A Game Theory!

@@ClairvoyantDreams358 betrays yoshi? In the official art for super Mario world Mario is pointing and not punching. Plus throwing yoshi in a pit is not his desicion that's the players desicion so it's not Mario's fault. He kills bowser army they are bent on world domination and bowser even tried to take control of the universe one time. Plus there is multiple proof that Mario loves Luigi. He stepped on his foot because this shows Mario is a bit competitive. Brothers do this. Mario even apologised after hitting his brother in the nose by accident in the Mario power tennis bloopers. Plus he is not a womanizer because daisy kissed mario. That doesn't mean Mario wanted it. Just because he said her name twice doesn't mean he's in love. Not to mention there's proof Mario isn't IN LOVE with Pauline. So your dead wrong, mat is dead wrong, and this video is dead wrong
