Mario & Luigi/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Stupid answer: The sprite you see is actually Bowser rolling really, really fast, so fast you can't even see him moving. Actual answer: I got nothin'. See stupid answer.

*** But you see the same sprite even if he's ''not'' moving. That's not it. Instead, remember that Bowser is a ''Koopa'', and not technically a turtle - presumably Koopas have weird shells.

**** If he's rolling in place really really fast, why can you see individual spikes?

***** Because he's rolling at 60 Hz.

** To be more relevant: Crawful = '''Cr'''ocodile + F'''awful'''. Class dismissed!

*** Moreso: 'Craw' means mouth... so, it has a mouthful.

*** [[Nightmare Retardant|And then they choke on their own food]].

*** On Crawful, does anyone else notice that if you're fighting more than one Crawful or a Crawful and something else, should you get hit by the other enemy... Crawful laughs at you? I'm still torn between being seriously annoyed at the chortling gits and being slightly freaked out by them.

** How exactly is near-destruction of the kingdom anything ''new''? They don't remember it because its in no way unusual. They're used to it by now.

** If you speak to Madame Broque with Mario and Luigi, she sometimes mentions the Shroob invasion. Plus, {{spoiler|Mario and Luigi tell Starlow about it after the three Shroobs are defeated in Bowser's Castle. A [[Continuity Nod]] is even made to the fact that it was Luigi, with his baby tears of Shroob smelting, who really destroyed the Shroobs in the end.}} Otherwise, there's no real reason for anyone to mention the Shroobs: everyone's got enough on their plate worrying about Fawful.

** I think you're misinterpreting the question: In ''Partners in Time'', the Shroobs invade the past Mushroom Kingdom. During that game, the present-day characters treat this as a new development. Why? It's like if someone from the present-day U.S. went back to the 60's and brought back the exciting new information we were involved in the Vietnam War. The Shroob invasion happened independently of the time travel (Peach only arrived after they had already invaded), so the other [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] explanations don't really seem to apply.

*** Mario, Luigi, and Peach were babies during the invasion so they were too young to remember. Egadd is old enough to remember but he was wrapped up in his own research and likely missed the whole thing. If you visit a room off to the right of the library late in the game a Toad mentions finding a book about the invasion written by Kylie Koopa. So SOME people do remember the invasion.

** Mario and Luigi don't seem like the type that would drop everything and walk away after rescuing their princess. They were probably just going to take a well-deserved break before continuing to save the kingdom. Bowser's intervention just cut the break short.

** No i think Mario and Luigi FORGOT about it. Because Toadworth says Just relax, everything turned out just fine, even though Shroobs were still in the Kingdom.

** Yes, but... Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, and Young Toadsworth are STILL in the present which is not ok, and would mess up a paradox.

*** As I said earlier, they were probably just taking a much-needed break.

** First off, [[Gameplay and Story Integration]]. Second, it's fairly easy to tell if something's flying right at you if no one ends up attacking from behind save atleast two or three cases per game. It's less foresight and more reflexive.

** He doesn't use mirrors very often.

** Fawful often refers to the Mario Bros. as "Red" and "Green", he's talking about them rather than the colours.

* In the third game, where were Bowser's kids when Fawful took over Bowser Castle?

** [[Put on a Bus|There's a trope for that.]]

* How did the Mushroom Kingdom economy crash so bad at the end of Superstar Saga? And what does this mean for everything else in the series concerning the value of coins?
