I want to know why Helios thought Mario had a complex story... maybe the enemies symbolize the underclass, and the princess represents the unatainable things in life? |
I think you're onto something here. The mushroom guys represented his ongoing struggles with drug abuse, and all of the bottomless pits represented his constant struggle to avoid falling deep into depression. And in the end, if you fight your inner demons, eventually you'll be rewarded.
