I just realized this now and my mind has been blown. Seriously SMB3 is one of my favourite games and just finding this out has made it even cooler to me. So am I an idiot because you guys already knew this or are you just finding this out like me? I found this pic on the interwebz.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released Oct 23, 1988
Super Mario Bros. 3 sends Mario on a whole new adventure across diverse worlds and sporting strange new suits and abilities.
Super Mario Bros. 3 was a stage play, my mind is blown.
I've known about this for while, but it blew my mind when I found out. I didn't know back in the 90s when I played it.
I knew it was a play, but I didn't see all the clues (shadows, bolts, etc.) until right now. Interesting stuff.
Also, Can someone explain Phoenix Down to me real quick? I listened to that podcast, but I was in and out considering I was working out at the time. I meant to go back, but never did.
Well, it doesn't seem like Mario and Bowser have really been trying to take each other out seriously for years. Maybe they put on this show for kicks, to relive the glory days a little?
Also, I still don't understand how people didn't get Phoenix Down. I mean... really, what else would it be?
Pretty much just this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_feather" I knew it was a play, but I didn't see all the clues (shadows, bolts, etc.) until right now. Interesting stuff. Also, Can someone explain to me Phoenix Down to me real quick? I listened to that podcast, but I was in and out considering I was working out at the time. I meant to go back, but never did. "
I believe Jeff's comment was something along the lines of "I thought it just meant you revived them because they were down," or something like that.
Edit: Here ya go.
Then minds were blown as they realised it was actually a feather of a phoenix (bird that dies and rises again) being used to revive fallen characters
" @Teaspoon83: Yes I have to agree with that example, I was with Jeff 100% when he was blown away by Phoenix Down. "
Super Mario Bros. 3 as a stage play blew my mind when I first realized it. Hearing Jeff have his mind blow at the realization of what Phoenix Down is just made me facepalm.
