On a recent visit to my parents I picked up the old Super Nintendo and brought it back to Victoria with me. One of the games we have is Super Mario All-Stars, which has the first three Super Mario games on it. Last night, I finally finished Super Mario 2.
You know, that game has a lesson for anyone aspiring to be an evil-doer: if your sole vulnerability is being hit in the head with vegetables, it would be unwise to make your hideout a room with A MACHINE THAT SPITS OUT VEGETABLES AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
