  • owenadam, on 01/23/2008, -5/+607This being Super Mario Bros. 3, the plan would have worked, had Mario hit the square on the right side of its base, causing, as Newton explains, the mushroom to move to the left.
    Since we all know that mushrooms move faster than goombas, the mushroom would have reached Mario first, causing a chemical reaction to take place in Mario's body (or mind, the exact effects of said mushroom were never fully explained.) doubling Mario's relative size.
    He would have been locked in a crouch position, sliding over to the left into the goomba, reducing him to his earlier size, but not killing him. Instead, he would have gained a brief invulnerability resulting in a net gain. If, of course, he had hit the box on the right and not the left.
  • sotopheavy, on 01/23/2008, -12/+402It's a Trap!
  • kiiwii, on 01/23/2008, -7/+325It must suck to live in a 2d world.
  • Donnshin, on 01/23/2008, -2/+199Dugg for best answer. Ever.
  • nickrct, on 01/23/2008, -3/+132No biggie. Wait below the ? box for the Goomba to come. Press A while quickly pressing Left. Dead Goomba. Crisis Avoided. Witty remark nullified.
  • luke16, on 01/23/2008, -12/+139If only he had the flower...
  • ScionX, on 01/23/2008, -2/+111Unless the other 2 goombas are heading left. Then you just get the joy of knowing that you took one of them with you.
  • jjremy, on 01/23/2008, -1/+90it's SCIENCE!
  • Platypus3333, on 01/23/2008, -5/+83It's almost like digg and 4chan are converging...
  • Oshi, on 01/23/2008, -24/+100One of the best Mario games ever.
  • CasualAffair, on 01/23/2008, -4/+72Real Man of Genius.
  • Langford, on 01/23/2008, -7/+63But then he couldn't get in there. He would be too tall.
  • SACubeMonkey, on 01/23/2008, -8/+57Welcome to 2002!
  • jordan314, on 01/23/2008, -6/+51Old internet meme
  • Shawn4168, on 01/23/2008, -2/+43You know, if he just hits the "A" button, he can turn the world sidew...never mind.
  • b3mus3d, on 01/23/2008, -0/+37Whenever I think about the concept of being 2d, I confuse the ***** out of myself.
  • ethanpack, on 01/23/2008, -1/+38I think he could've. Couldn't you do the run, jump, duck, and slide thing in SMB3?
  • daliminator, on 01/23/2008, -1/+37Okay, okay people. Star. Happy?
  • sovereign3, on 01/23/2008, -3/+35I'm going with Super Mario World. Back then, the graphics were pretty cutting edge.

  • jjremy, on 01/23/2008, -1/+29damn those uneducated, jobless Goombas taking advantage of the wellfare system!
  • emehrkay, on 01/23/2008, -12/+40Why is Mario going to die in this situation? Its not like the gooma is going to bite him, only touch him. This makes no sense. Is he allergic to all of the bad guys, is that why they cant touch his skin, but the bottom of his shoe is ok? And where the hell is he at where someone would build obstacles along a path and have their patrolmen aimlessly walking back and forth with a goal at the end? Who built that "level"? Someone needs to explain all of those wasted resources that went into its creation. OK, if the bad guys built it, why give mario a chance?

    *hits blunt*

    Wtf kinda superpower is growing big? is he a grown man or somekind of regular sized human? If that is the case, why can he jump so damn high?
  • inactive, on 01/23/2008, -1/+27we'd walk like egyptians.
  • Shawn4168, on 01/23/2008, -1/+27Irrelevant comment. It's a well-known fact that Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best Mario game ever made. He doesn't need to remind us.
  • vdgmr1213, on 01/23/2008, -2/+26When we try to explain it as "Its a game" you say "No, its not a game. Its science at its best." So here's to you, Mr. Digg Picture of Mario Explainer.

  • Langford, on 01/23/2008, -0/+24I think you have to duck before hitting jump in order to be crouched during the jump. Considering the loss of momentum, I don't see how he could make it over the wall and into that lowered area. Additionally, SMB3 slides when you stand up, so it would have spit him right out the side as soon as he tried to walk, and would have made fireball use impossible too.
  • NathanielJ, on 01/23/2008, -1/+24Douche.
  • krets, on 01/23/2008, -0/+23Too many 'shrooms.
  • politechaos, on 01/24/2008, -0/+23Somehow I don't think you thought your cunning reply all the way through.
  • jonshipman, on 01/23/2008, -0/+22He's Mario. He's above logic.
  • johnaintdoe, on 01/24/2008, -1/+22Dude... you totally killed it.
  • sovereign3, on 01/23/2008, -1/+22Mario's eyes look strange.
  • andycr512, on 01/23/2008, -0/+20It put her in another castle.
  • SurrealDream, on 01/23/2008, -0/+20You should read "Flatland".
    And yes, it sounds hellish. Women who can kill you if they look at you in the wrong direction? Glad that doesn't happen in our three dimensions...
  • Shadowfox99, on 01/23/2008, -1/+21Not really, because if mario had the flower, he would be to big to go under there...
  • Stupidumb, on 01/23/2008, -0/+18Did SMB3 ***** your girlfriend or something?
  • ayeroxor, on 01/23/2008, -10/+26Please look up what constitutes a 'macro'.
  • geniusNOTatWORK, on 01/23/2008, -0/+15story of my life
  • ydt89, on 01/23/2008, -0/+14theres only one ? box left.
  • UNL1M1T3D, on 01/23/2008, -0/+14Log out of Digg right now.
  • Rob223, on 01/23/2008, -4/+17MIRROR :

  • monkeyrun, on 01/23/2008, -1/+14lol, it would be super awesome if you actually put up the formula comparing the time it takes for the mushroom and goombas to reach Mario.
  • SirBotchness, on 01/23/2008, -18/+31Amazingly ***** image macros. Welcome to digg picture section. This is the reason we all wanted it right?
  • dannyapplesauce, on 01/23/2008, -0/+13yes
  • etx313, on 01/23/2008, -0/+12Down like a $5 hooker.
  • MarkOfTheDead, on 01/23/2008, -0/+12Yoshi looks like Sloth from The Goonies.
  • ausfahrt, on 01/23/2008, -9/+21Being buried why? Cause SMB3 wasn't one of the best Mario games ever or cause it's an irrelevant comment or something. I don't get it.
  • gmtwilight, on 01/24/2008, -0/+11Admrial Ackbar.... get it right.
  • ChaoticLlama, on 01/23/2008, -2/+13it's actually impossible to be a 2-D living organism.

    Try it yourself, draw a circle representing a living 'thing' (in this case a circulon). indicate one part along the circumference to be for eating, and the another for excreting. now, try to connect the two without cutting your pet circulon in half ^_^
