** The cartridges in general survive washing machines just fine. The most that'll happen is the label coming off; dry them and they'll work just like on day one. [[Comically Missing the Point|They'll even smell like a spring breeze]].
** When Carlos Mencia decided to destroy a [[Nintendo 64]] for his show ''Mind of Mencia'', it took two strikes from a large mallet before any visible cracks formed in the case.
** A couple of [[Let's Play]] people [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|decided to test]][[hottip:*:<ref>To explain, the methods of damaging the cartridge correspond to several of the elemental types of ''[[Pokémon]]''. The process is [http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/Science/ detailed on this page]</ref> whether the old Game Boy cartridges live up to the reputation. Throwing and hitting it didn't even leave a mark. Dirt jammed into it while it's in the Game Boy? No problem. Covering the contacts in alcohol and running magnets over it? Didn't bother it. Dunking it in water finally made it fail to start. So they dried it out by ''burning a hole through the cartridge''. ''They BURNED the electronics inside the cartridge''. Also failed to start. So they waited an hour and came back to it. Presumably, the Nintendium just laughed at them as it started right up. The most fitting part? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwrSkTfzrcE The cartridge was of Pokemon Red Version].
** In short, it's not just Nintendo's ''[[Nintendo Hard|games]]'' that are hard.
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|Perhaps it's because the games are so hard that their plastic casings have hardened to match?]]
