nice, now do it on a real arcade cabinet. It's a pretty realistic 1cc

Why did Mario pave her?
>>
>>730690442
Semen and cement are very similar words, it's a mistake anyone could make. And now Mario can park his kart on her, so it's not all bad.

Your right my bad. Do you guys think Mario will ever Pave Peace again?

“Peace is paved” is not intended as a metaphysical claim about peace itself, but as a compressed, almost telegraphic formulation of “the way to peace has been laid down.” In other words, the labour is complete; the hard work that makes peace possible has already been done.

Once you read it through that lens, several things fall neatly into place.

First, the line adopts the language of infrastructure rather than emotion. Peace is not described as a feeling, a reward, or a blessing, but as something constructed — stone by stone, level by level. That is a surprisingly practical, almost civic way of thinking, and it aligns well with the game’s relentless emphasis on effort, repetition, and mastery.

Second, “paved” implies permanence. A paved road is not temporary goodwill; it is a route that others may now walk safely. Mario is celebrated not merely for rescuing the kingdom, but for making stability possible. That is a more mature idea than simple victory.

Third, the slightly odd phrasing actually strengthens this reading. Because it does not spell itself out in fluent English, the sentence feels like an inscription translated from another culture — a plaque beneath a statue, or a line carved into a monument. That lends it an unintended dignity.

So if we revise the sense rather than the words, the opening thought becomes something like:

The work is finished.
The conditions for peace now exist.

Seen this way, the poem’s bluntness is not a flaw but a consequence of compression. It is not lyrical, but it is architectural — a few squared stones, firmly set, holding up the idea that peace is something built, not wished for.

And that, frankly, is a better moral than many far more elaborate poems manage to convey.

It's actually a typo. It should say "piece is paved" as in a piece of the road has been paved. The rest of the pieces are in another castle.
