Six zany reasons to see Mario in a whole new light |
Ó
So, ya think your favorite plumbing, swooping brothers from Nintendo are all kid-friendly? Well, Reverend Anthony from Destructoid probably wondered just the same thing, and as a result, he came up with a zany list just to point how "sinister" Mario is.
First off, there's the deal about mushrooms. I know you're probably thinking about *ahem* various chemicals to alter mental states, but well, it's too early for that. You see, Reverend Anthony speculates that maybe, just maybe, those mushroom power-ups are actually dismembered citizens from the Mushroom Kingdom, comfortably snuck in question-mark boxes for Mario to "unwittingly" come across.
Second on the list is Mario's allegory for the Bolshevik Revolution. Come to think of it, mario's got the whole thing down pat: the "trademark" Stalin mustache, the star on the flag, the "overthrowing an empire" thing, AND the red outfit.
Next off, Reverend Anthony has racism on the list, and for this, he cites the stereotyping of Italians and blue-collar immigrants as his reasons.
Next up on the Reverend's list would be this really creepy picture:
Of course, the subject of mushrooms, flower powerups and substance abuse couldn't be avoided. As our source says, "The mushrooms Mario is so fond of are of the 'magic', hallucinatory variety, the flowers he eats to produce fire are obviously some sort of illegal poppy blossom, and the magic leaves that make him turn into a flying raccoon... well, you figure it out."
And what's top six? Murder. Go figure.

first post!!!!!!!!
all hail the great zar mario! lol and long live his brother luigi!! lol
ur a dumbass up there "lol" its czar not zar.
it's tzar, NOT czar or zar
i would have left it but it was all being corrected
speaking of mushrooms (yea the drug) you are a nut... I'd say this article was flamebait but flaming the article would be the equivilant of clubbing a baby retarded seal with a three legged puppie with one eye...
Man I thought I had problems...
Just because these sorry ass-humpers don't have any news, it doesn't necessarily mean they're gonna shut the ***** up.
actually it can be spelt either way depending on where the title originates from
pretty sure it is czar
WOW! I'M NOT FIRST! WOOPTY DOO!
Yeah, that actually does sound like fun. I should go do that sometime!
There are many variaties
ITS SPELLED S-T-F-U
Why not Sieg Heil Hitler and long live his homie Goebbels?
It's 'za short for pizza
