Line 4:
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* There was some platformer back in the 80's that featured the main character consuming mushrooms; whereupon he would immediately believe himself to have grown gigantic like [[Alice in Wonderland|Alice]], or, if it was a green mushroom, that he would be revived upon death! He would also take frequent trips through pipes and could collect leaves that created a puff of smoke that would transform him into a <s>raccoon</s> <s>tanooki</s> tanuki. Then there was the surreal imagery of winged turtles, turtles flying around on little clouds, and walking mushrooms with angry little faces. In fact, there were faces, or at least eyes, on everything: mushrooms, stars, clouds; the hills themselves, even, in the sequels that would follow. {{spoiler|[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]].}}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eIipKZMw5g Normal Super Mario Bros.] is essentially what happens when you take an [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|already surreal premise and increase the LSD levels]] [[Beyond the Impossible|to unprecidented, horrific new heights]]. It starts of quite like the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]].'', but then you touch the [[Yoshi's Island|Fuzzy]] and everything goes straight to Hell. Mario starts to sporadically grow and shrink, the Goombas are replaced by, but it takes several episodes to convince your brain you really ''are'' seeing what it thinks you're seeing.
* [[Doug Ten Napel]] is a sober conservative Christian. You'd never know it from ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim]]'' and ''[[The Neverhood]]''.
** One could be forgiven for thinking so, however - particularly ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim]] 2'', which featured, among other things, a ride on a stair chair with portraits of sharks on the wall while avoiding falling old ladies and listening to bagpipes, playing a gameshow inside someone's intestines while dressed as a blindworm, and a boss fight against a firebreathing steak on top of a giant pizza.
