Game Theory: Why Mario is Mental, Part 1

Help us reach 1 million subs! ► tinyurl.com/mrd2ntg
Mario is gaming's biggest mascot, but what is he hiding? Is he really the hero everyone thinks he is? Have we overlooked one too many of Mario's heinous crimes. In this two part series, we put Mario on trial to see just what is going on inside the head of this "paragon" of the video game industry.

Think you like Super Mario? Think again, you monster.

[@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!

Francesco Bertini ok lets just say hes pointing like what you said (i still dont agree I'm just viewing the problem in your point of view) but how's that going to conceal the fact that it was still originally a punch. Nintendo obviously tries to cover up the fact that they're making mario mental and thinks this was over the top so they change it cause lots like you will get triggered by Nintendo.

Mario is obviously a dumbed down easier copy for the smaller oblivious kid. And Mario himself is jealous of Luigi's physics. Sliding is awesome when you can handle it.
