As a kid I thought he breaks bricks with his head lmao. Was I retarded?
No, you were right. His arm actually goes behind the bricks.
>>12102384He's actually pushing the brick self destruct button on the back. Mario is a FRAUD.
>>12102007I'm pretty sure Smash Bros does the same thing.But punching from below has been a trait since the original Mario Bros.
>>12102417>MARY OH WHERE ARE YOU
>>12102007If you position him right, he does.
>>12102417>oh god I think he's living under the floor
>>12102417>punching up is a key part of marioSo it was always woke garbage, no wonder I always hated it.
>>12102007He does his hands or his head depending on what side you hit it from.
>>12102007there was also the misconception that fire mario would use his hands to cover his mouth when spitting out fire balls.luigi does break bricks with his head and spit fire balls out of his mouth in the all-stars version of super mario world.
>>12102478>Luigi doesn't look identical to Mario with a green hat in the new versionSoulless
>>12102007Those bricks were people.
reminder that the brick breaking behavior in SMB was like that due to a glitch, and All Stars actually fixed the glitch.
>>12102537the all-stars behavior does make more logical sense, but it's not as fun
>>12102007Nah, it was a popular misconception at the time. Even got into various marketing like commercials and that one anime movie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CClLVbJHZZU
>>12102007>Was
>>12102007>Was I retarded?Was?You still are.
>>12102436
>>12102384Probably an overlap before the brick bursts. Stop being autistic.
If Mario is powerful enough to break brick blocks with a single punch then why can't he just punch out all the enemies
>>12102414>He's actually pushing the brick self destruct button on the back. Mario is a FRAUD.It's just good acting. Nintendo was great back when they used practical effects like this instead of relying so heavily on CG.
>>12106938He's a crush fetishist.
>>12102007>>12102384>>12102414Oh yeah, ha ha, I knew this.
>>12106957And the All-Stars version ruins all of this
>>12107816James Bond is a codename posting bitch.
>>12106957>Crashed airship in SMWIt happened. SMB3 is more of a theatrical reenactment.
>>12106957iirc the stage scenery stuff goes away in world 8, so it's all real from that point.
>>12102478huh I had no idea luigi had a unique sprite in all starsI guess thats one thing it actually did right
>>12102537The original version puts an invisible solid block on the frame of contact so it behaves like hitting every other surface in the game from below.
>>12109262tell us something we don't know professor
>>12102478luigi looks like he's jizzing whenever he shoots a fireball
>>12102526mario was either unaware of this or was intentionally killing rhem like the sick bastard he is
>>12109560The manual actually further establishes a few pages later that only the bricks that give you power ups and coins are transformed people, and the items are their way of thanking you for finding them.
>>12102572fucking surreal we live in a time where we now have thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT6VGVlHeeo
>>12106957damn, I thought battleblock theater invented it
>>12111723Nothing wrong with inspiration!
I mean it was such a common misconception that Nintendo had to clarify multiple times, so it's not like you were the only one.
>>12102417Man, I so wish that the arcade version of Mario Bros was better. The foundation of the game is incredibly solid, but playing the original feels so jilted in its movement after playing Super Mario Bros. There's the version for GBA that's utterly fantastic, but it's not netplay compatible due to being a link cable game, and why would you play the game by yourself? It's called Mario Bros, not "Mario, Brother."
>>12106957>Exit stage rightThat's stage left, which is to the audience's right. Stage right would be to the audience's left.
>>12115547Right.
>>12115636Yup
>>12115415Thoughts on the Mario All-Stars version?
>>12117808You mean the minigame version within Super Mario Bros 3? It's fine, and it benefits a decent bit from having the more satisfying Super Mario movement, but it's limited by just being a battle mode that's off to the side.
