Is there a loophole if they're furries?
Yes, but you need to be the giant disembodied hands and face of an ape in order to utilize it. Word of advice: Don't let them shoot your palms. or your eyes. Or your medula. But if its a raccoon with a mustache, just leave it be.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned the hamster from Maniac Mansion for NES?? You kids are all too young, methinks. You can get this hamster in the game, go into the kitchen, put it in the microwave, and make it explode!!
Also, I don't think anyone has mentioned jumping on top of and/or setting on fire turtles/dinosaurs/bugs/waddling muffins/Klansmen/frogs/fish/dolphins, not to mention jumping off an innocent dinosaur and sending him plummeting to the depths of cheese bridge/ melting in lava.
...I thought this was a Mario board.
