skumbucket Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 if mario can handle fireballs with his bare hands as fire power mario (or fire flower mario or whatever you want to call him) why do those rotating fire poles hurt him? shouldn't he be able to handle them just as easily?

flicker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 uhhh....the force? but seriously dude, think about it, mario could only shoot fireballs out of his hands. Its not like he ever had control. Otherwise, he would have mad like a fire sword and become invincible. its like spiderman how can shoot webs, but he cant control all spiderwebs. use your head!

skumbucket Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 all i'm saying is if his hands are impervious to the consumptive effects of fire, then shouldn't he be able to like grab the firey things and swing past them or somethign?

flicker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 you cant grab fire though. imagine if you strapped two flamethrowers to your hands, and they shot fieballs. just because you have this, and can shoot fire, does not mean that you can control fire. it makes perfect sense.

ronniethebear Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Apparently the Japanese do a lot of drugs. Do any video games from that era make any sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfedaykinx Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 its like ken and ryu. they shoot 'hadookens' out their hands and get fucked up when hit. its the proverbial 'you can dish it out but you cant take it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 It's also kinda like the whole "Goofy and Pluto are both dogs, but one walks on his hind legs, talks, and lives in a house and the other is a fucking mouse's pet" thing. Fuzzy logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest scriptedrain Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 This is the best thread I've seen all week. And to answer your question, his hands can handle it, but his head and other limbs cannot. And his arms have very little reach. Observe: Ahh the perils of being a 2D side scrolling badass.

steventangent Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I just noticed the turtles had turkey heads and argyle shells. Actually I noticed that like 20 years ago but then I forgots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtmanner Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Mario's fireball power is magically based, I assume. This in turn means that by having this special ability the fireballs are most likely materialized with some sort of energy concentration between his palms and because they are esentially produced by his hands they do not a) hurt his hands really even touch them. If Mario were to directly handle fire, in this case be attacked with, he would be damaged. This is the best I could do so late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I always wondered how he could grow and shrink back down after taking the mushroom. Maybe the mushroom is really shrooms, and he is tripping thinking he is big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
