What Mario Looks Like to a Goomba
Mario is monster, running around shouting "Yippee!" and "Wahoo!" as he crushes the skulls of those defenseless goombas. Poor guys, they don't even have arms to shield their vision from the approaching doom.
One day he might use his fire flower to burn them alive. Maybe he'll feed them whole to his dinosaur steed.
True horror, however, is witnessed when Mario dons his tanooki suit, when the animal brutality is made manifest in his physical form. Pray that he doesn't find you then, little goomba. Pray that infamous whisper never reaches your ear: "It's-a me, Mario..."
