"Mario; A Chocoholic Villain?"

Every Mario game you ever see is filled with coins just lying all round the place. All just waiting to be picked up by a passer-by. Why do none of the residents of the kingdom pick them up? I’ll tell you why. They’re not actual currency! No. They are, in fact, chocolate coins. Just like the ones you usually see at Christmas. Oh yes!

So, why does this explain why the residents don’t collect them? Surely, some of them could like chocolate. It’s not as if they’re hidden, either. Just look around you. They’re in the air above your head. Well, the reason why the locals won’t go near the coins is because Mario has secretly threatened their lives. He has convinced them into believing he will make truffles out of them in order to satisfy his chocolate addiction. Scared for their well-being, the locals offer to help Mario whenever they can. Doing so, they hope, will keep Mario in a good mood and his mind off such ideas as truffle-making.

Just like the blocks in Tetris falling into place (unless you’re really bad at that game – “ha ha,” at you if you are), this seems to answer the reasons behind the Princess constantly being kidnapped so easily. Mario is too busy feeding his addiction to even notice when a six-foot lizard/dinosaur/thing comes along until one of the fearful mushroom people tell him. Even then, along his travels to save her, he collects yet more chocolate coins.

Red coins and blue coins are his favourite, though. The red ones contain some sort of strawberry syrup filling. Whereas the blue ones, which are very rare and, therefore, his ultimate favourite, are filled with various liquor flavours. Mario isn’t driven to save Princess Toadstool. He’s driven to find the blue coins, which are only available along the treacherous paths leading to Bowser. If he can’t find any of those, though, he will always happily settle for the red ones and yellow ones.

They must run out one day, though. Mustn’t they…?

And the problem with that is?

Oh yeah, and good post.

Chocolate coins, eh? Sounds like the Mushroom Kingdom has formed some sort of alligance (sp?) with Wogland.

(Edgy will get this joke)
