Back on topic...

I believe Bowser made the Dark World because that's definitely possible if he can seal up most of the castle doors with star power and create the other 2 worlds that you fight him in. Each painting has its own world as well, but I don't believe Bowser made them.

Maybe Bowser realized that he can turn anything into...anything? (People into blocks, people into enemies, blocks into enemies, etc) So he turned a perfectly normal level into a "dark world".

But then he would just turn all the blocks and solid ground that leads Mario to him into lava...

I got another one here. Who agrees with me that the backround of Wet, Dry World (you need to be up high to see it) looks like ancient egypt? You know cause it has all the short, whiteish houses with the flat rooftops 'n all.

That sounds more like Mexico in the 1800s.

Here's a new burning Mariology question: in Mario Kart, why do the racers shrink when they get hit by lightning? In any other game, electricity does not necessarily shrink them. So why in Mario Kart?

MushroomJunkie · « **Reply #1581 on:** August 24, 2008, 07:01:55 AM »

Because the lighting is a weapon so it shrinks characters to make them slower and easily flattened when you run over them.

I think he meant "why does lightning shrink them" as opposed to, say, a shrink ray?

MushroomJunkie · « **Reply #1583 on:** August 24, 2008, 07:10:26 AM »

Oh I see. Maybe when the protons and electrons in the lighting and the protons and electrons in your characters body touch, it causes a reaction to spontaniously shrink the weaker, less radical elements which would be your body.

Sure, I'll buy that.

Maybe the Lightning Bolt item actually is a shrink ray shaped like a bolt of lightning.

I always did think to myself, "What are the odds of seven (or eleven) Karts getting stricken by lightning in the same instance, and what are the odds that they will all survive? (With the exception of being shrunk, crushed, or spun out into nearby cliff or lava pit)"

The karts are made (partly) out of rubber, right? So, when the lightning hits them, it sends a shock wave through the pedal/steering wheel and shrinks the character.

What the heck? Rubber is the non-conductive part.

But...why would electricity shrink people? And why only in certain games? That's the question!
