Whose job is it to go around burying dead Marios?

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

Probably the same ridiculously optimistic Toad from the Mario movie.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The piranha plants probably.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, sure, make the guys with no hands or feet do it!

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like DEI, so I think it's not going to fly in the current political climate.

Aaaaannnnd subbed, I need to dig up that SpongeBob horror comic and post it there lol

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, the Bikini Bottom Horror? It's great, the ending especially is surprisingly amazing!

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Don't forget BertStrips!

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heh, thanks. Subbed.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

….and BLOCKED!!!

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The fact that I already knew the answer to this embarrasses me

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? I see it on my main feed all the time, it's just osmosis.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It means I don't touch grass nearly as often as I pretend to

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Leave the grass alone, it's got dead Marios under it.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does it explain how or why there are so many Marios?

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

You ever watch Orphan Black? Based on a true story.

Mario is a special breed of mushroom given false memories and a backstory so that they will grow to have a hero complex and protect the mushroom kingdom. Only one sprouts from the mother mycelium at a time.

Unpleasant is not a word I would have used for this information. Informative is the word I would have used

"We-a still talkabout-a you, woohoo!"

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hmm. That doesn't very neatly explain the ones that pop up in places where it's impossible to die.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting 1-up mushrooms migrate?

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You've never had to chase down a 1up mushroom?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'll admit, I was fooled by the lack of a husk, but yes, I see it now.

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps they're carried. It would be pretty easy to grip them by the husk.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

It’s not a question of where he grips it

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Look up ant cordyceps, learn how some fungus can move around, and then have trouble sleeping for a few days.

Proof that zombies do exist

that means whenever the 1up falls down the pit of death because it went the wrong way out of it's block it's just going back to where it came from

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

So the only wasted lives are the ones you have left when you complete the game...
