I learned something new in this video; the existence of the phrase "kangaroo court". As an Australian, I am very surprised that it exists at all.

I love these type of videos though, this game is 999% awesome :3

Every single Mario game ever is a Show. They are all actors in a play/show. Miyamoto confirmed this by saying that is why Bowser appears in games like Mario Kart. It's why there is curtains in SMB3 and a audience in Paper Mario.

Why, for instance, does Mario play tennis and go golfing with Bowser, who regularly invades his adoptive homeland and kidnaps his girlfriend? Miyamoto said he thinks of them like cartoon characters such as Popeye the Sailor and perpetual rival Bluto, who might be buccaneer rivals in one episode and reluctant roommates in another.

"I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games," Miyamoto said. "It's more like they're one big family, or maybe a troupe of actors."

I could have swore this was debunked somewhere...but I cannot remember where I saw it. Interesting concept though.

Maybe read the post above yours.
