I just realized that Super Mario Brothers takes place within a game of Dwarf Fortress with cave-ins turned off.



Seriously, it explains everything.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Whilst I think that Agikagak is being a bit too harsh, you should probably still elaborate if you want this thread to go anywhere.

I thought it was pretty self-edvident.

Fortresses full of magma, fire, and mazes, bizarre floating architecture, lots of strange creatures trying to kill you, huge mushrooms everywhere... How can you not see it?

Yeah, the magma trap corridors ARE kind of conspicuous. As is the fact that unless you mess with secret hidden warp pipes, you have to walk past every single defensive structure in the world to reach the Princess.

Not to mention that you smash goombas heads into their bodies... making them an unrecognizable mass...

You may be on to something here.

Discuss what?

How pointless this thread is, on an order of 1 to 100?

It's 1000000000000000000, by the way.
IT'S OVER 9000!!!

But Mario cannot be DF as there is NO jumping in DF... Pittraps would be all but useless if there were.

Once a stair fell, and rather than knock him one or two z levels down, as usually was the case, he went rolling down the central staircase, hit the bottom and exploded.

But dwarves don't grow twice their own size by eating plump helmets... Not vertically, at least.

Clearly the plump helmet gives him a second Dwarf to stand on. (and they pretend to be 1 dwarf)

or maybe the Plump helmet is bad, and he's just tripping out which also gives him the "Illusion of jumping, where as he actually can't, and instead is just walking up ramps which his drug induced vision has no room for.

And TURTLE SHELLS! Yeah, turtle shells... And obviously it's drug-related, because sometimes you have to walk on clouds...

But the most prominent feature is... fish. I used to think that the fish is piranha, but obviously it's just a carp.
