Did you see the news?

Nintendo confirmed that Mario is punching Yoshi in the head.

According to character designer for Super Mario World Chigafumihino,

quote, lots of people think that while Mario is pointing his finger forward,

he's saying, go, and Yoshi's tongue comes out.

However, the setup that I drew was that when Mario punches Yoshi in the head,

the character's tongue shoots out in surprise.

What's more, there's an added pop sound?

End quote, man.

Between this and Scott confirming last week's

Snap theory, these are good days to be a theorist. I'm going to Hello internet, welcome to The chaotic neutral of internet web shows.

Now that we're 200 episodes into the series, across all the talk of evolution and genetics,

math and science, I hope that you've at least learned one crucial lesson from me,

not to take everything at face value.

I mean, sure, we're told that Mario is a hero and that Bowser's a villain, but rarely is the story

so black and white. A hero is only truly a hero. is a aren't nearly as black and white as we'd like to believe.

To those who believe in Bowser's cause, he's the hero, he's the one doing good.

Meanwhile it's important to remember that we as the player are only being presented with one side of the

story. That's why we always have to question

what we're being told and why we're being told it. And heck, who knows if that's

true for something as silly as a video game about voided-up plumbers, it may even

be true in real life.
