In the latest Nintendo Direct Chris Pratt claims he "spent hours of his life stomping, Koopas, in the original Mario Brothers arcade game", but you can not "stomp" a turtle in that game, all plumber-on-turt violence in that game is in the form of Mario flipping them by hitting the floor they are walking on from below and then running up to them to kick them. From this we can only conclude that Chris Pratt is a liar who has never crushed a single turtle with his feet, and is thus unfit to play Mario Mario in the movie. I urge you to call your congressman, we can still sonic this movie.
IDK, looking through this video, the player seems to be jumping over them turts a lot, but never jumps on them.
lmao that top comment turning into an atheism debate. Even five years ago that would have seemed a bit quaint.
But I think they introduced jumping on the koopas in the NES game, and then subsequent remakes of the original arcade game included it as a feature because it would have been awkward for players to take it away.
