RANDOM!" My comments on your opinion: 1: His Italian-ness originated from his moustache, which was easier to create instead of a mouth in SMB. 2: Well, what else is he supposed to break bricks with? 3: It was random. But it was cool-random. ;D 5: Koopa Troopas, Monty Moles, and Lakitus. Probably put in there because they were the easiest to draw for SMB. 7: Toads. 8: Shine Sprites, Piantas/Nokis, and technically it's not really paint, it's sludge. 9: It was all originated from the old "King Kong" movie. The girl's name is Pauline, although she's just called "the girl" on the actual game. Pauline's the one in danger! Haven't you ever played Donkey Kong?  So, yeah, it is mildly random. |

Here are my comments:  1) Mario is italian because he was born there. Nice and easy. And if you let me continue, you will discover there are many connections in this. His moustache is enough to prove the world he's italian.  He's a plumber, and this lead us to... 2) Brake brick walls. He learned many things in his plumber task. When you need to reinstall the water system, you need to brake materials of your house. You get the idea: buy pipes, brake the walls or floor, put the pipes in there, connect them, and voalá! You have your water system (that's one of many tasks, of a plumber's job)  3) Mario actually can be compared with some kind of scientist. He is a common plumber on the day, but he likes to experiment with this fact. He experimented too much, then he learned quantum physics and to travel via paintings. Or, maybe he found an alien dispositive in a pipe.  4) Like a plumber, he know lots of facts about pipes. So then, he discovered that connected pipes with proper ventilation work like an air tunnel. You get in one side, and pop out in the other (he always turn 180 degrees inside before going out) ;D 5) There can be turtles in sewers (and rats, crocodiles). Moles? Man, moles are the animal plumbers of earth! Moles can dig and build lots of tunnels (just like a plumber connect tubes and pipes). And, if you ask me about lakitus... they're kind of more advanced moles (evolution). The lakitus are angry with Mario, because he destroyed many natural tunnels during some water system installations. 6) Italia. Pasta. Bolognesa. Mushrooms. Flowers. Spaguetti with mushrooms. It's like spinachs for Popeye. If you eat well, you'll be more healthy and strong. Mario eats some kind of hot saucy flowers. It's like when you get sauce or chili. Stars... are because Mario believes in miracles. They represent Mario's dreams and he never surrender because he is always believeing. Like YAY energy. 7) Toads are evolved mushrooms. Believe it. 8) Remember that you need a special object to represent the wish you're believing in (shine sprite in this case). Paint? A plumber knows how to drill and install pipes, but also paint the final result. And if you say... it's sludge... then that's not Mario's fault. 9) Every game can originate just from a very nifty little concept. NICE!!! ;D |
