People saying Mario don't understand what makes a horrible story. Mario has a simplistic story that is ironclad. For what it is, it works, everytime. There are no plotholes, no confusion. Mario can even be MADE deeper with understandings of literary history and psychology.

This is for stories that go too deep for their own good. A good example would be the original Final Fantasy Tactics. The ending was needlessly depressing, for reasons that don't make sense. People being murdered and executed makes little to no sense in the context of warriors being able to STOP TIME and DEFEAT GODS. It's being pointlessly "serious" and forcedly "mature." That and the secondary villain gets away scot free with the whole kingdom. When I saw that I remembered my MST and went "SO SATAN WINS?"
