"goombas"? Does that mean that the Wilderness isn't dangerous this time?

[handy_psychic]

Not at all! Well, ah, aside from the jumping over gaps, banging your head when hitting blocks, and the Koopas, but they're not too hard to stomp on or jump over.

[rustyarmor]

That... sounds pretty dangerous. You didn't hit your head too many times, did you??

What are 'goombas' and 'Koopas' anyway...

Haha, Bridge keeps forgetting that not everyone knows what video games even are XD

[handy_psychic]

Nah, Spike made me stop. Party pooper.

It sounds a lot worse than it really is, honestly!

Oh, oh, Goombas are little walking things that look like mushrooms and go "whupup" when you stomp on them, and Koopas are turtles.

XD! Fullmetal still thinks that people like to read or listen to the radio for entertainment

[rustyarmor]

It's probably for the best that he made you stop.

I see. Is 'Koopa' slang for turtle then? Why would you need to call a turtle anything except a turtle...

<3

[handy_psychic]

No, no, they're a special kind of turtles. EVIL turtles.

<3!

[rustyarmor]

So, an evil turtle is called a 'Koopas'?

[handy_psychic]

Yeah! And their king is King Bowser Koopa!

... we haven't found him yet, but it's only a matter of time!

[rustyarmor]

Ahh... So if he's the king of evil turtles, he's extremely evil? Did he do something wrong?

[handy_psychic]

... huh. That's a good question...

[rustyarmor]

Wait, you're stepping on them without even knowing what they did wrong?

[handy_psychic]

Hmm, well... game logic rarely makes sense.

[rustyarmor]

What!? It's a GAME??

[handy_psychic]

Aww, man, uhm, how to explain this...

[A long pause.]

They're not real animals! It's all pretend.

[rustyarmor]

So you're pretending to kill animals? And that's fun??
