Super Mario Brothers is great but its a total hippie game.

Think about it...

* You're in a world called "The Mushroom Kingdom" theres a princess and theres a giant, evil lizard who is the bad guy and he has an army of turtles, giant man-eating plants, and bad mushrooms called Goombas.
* If you eat good mushrooms, you get bigger (like your pupils), and if you are attacked, you feel smaller, and so you are.
* You can throw fireballs if you obtain a Fire Flower which gives you "Flower Power".
* You are invincible if you obtain a star (and back in the day, they used to put peyote on sheets with stars on it).
*The convience of a pipe "warps" you to a "higher" level.
*You could get hit by really big bullets and die. And hippies don't like war.
*The main character is a plumber, the typical hippie job.
*The main character is italian, like pizza, which is the #1 hippie-recommended food for munchies.

Heh heh. I always heard that Mario and Luige were communists...there's proof somewhere online, just don't remember where

btw, has it ever struck you as odd that the princess of a kingdom doesn't have armies come and rescue her but rather two plumbers?
