okay guys. its time to examine the more political sides of Mario 64.
Throughout the game, Mario sets out to conquer evil. Everytime he succeeds, he fuckin KILLS the 'evil-doer.'
Think about it. You run into the King Bomb-Bomb, who's only crime was being an Absolute Ruler and Mario EXPLODES him into oblivian. Geezus, come on. Thats a little extreme...and not the good kind of extreme.
There's also Koopa the Quik, who is exploded just because he lost to mario in a foot-race. Too add insult to injury, Mario then rides around on his SHELL.
Think of the poor Goombas, who were just brainwashed by Bowser, similar too how the iraqi people were brainwashed by Sadam. Its not right for bush to kill the iraqi, just as its wrong for mario to kill the goombas.
Theres the people of the bomb-bomb town, Whom mario encourages to commit suicide and explode themselves--As long as the blood is off his hands, i guess he doesn't care.
I guess Mario's not into the whole 'rehabilitation' thing.
Mario, you aren't so innocent yourself. Come on, who you trying to fool with those Mushrooms? When you eat them, do you "get bigger", or is everything looking smaller through your trippy-drugged-out-hazey eyes?
lay off the mushrooms, yo.
