I just realized there's got to be a Deviation about that thing... (could've sworn I saw one at some point--I mean...)

GOOD LORD THAT'S ONE SIZEABLE MUSHROOM-SHAPED OBJECT SHE'S GOT THERE

I'd always pictured "Toadstool's ? ? ?" to be nothing more than a stray bra or something. Of course, it could always be the mummified fetus of Peach's half-turtle love child, but yeah.

Some articles that may be of interest to Mariologists:

“The True History of Mario”

"Inconstancy in the Mario World" (I've read this article at least once and I'm still not exactly sure what its point is, but it seems like they put some thought into it)

I don't like either of those. "The True History of Mario" is just trying to be funny, and "Inconstancy in the Mario World" is just trying to say that the games are a metaphor for art, or something.

I hate to break it to you, but "Mariology" is already taken, as far as -ologies go.

You've got to be kidding me...

"I've got a PhD."

"Really? In what?"

"Studying Jesus's mom."

When I first saw this topic, that's what I thought this was about. I thought that seemed weird for this board, at any rate...

The best Mario fanfic ever to grace Fungi Forums:

Mario: hmm ill shove it

I got really scared for a second because I thought that was going to be a link to The Dirty Chips.

*Searches and successfully locates aforementioned story*

I'm assuming that it was much, much worse in its pre-edited state, because it's not particularly awful now... Brimming with paper-thin euphemisms, mind you, but I've seen grosser.

I thought all the mod(s) did was just put spoiler tags over it, but... yeah. Different topic now.

I WANT THIS MUSHROOM

Welcome to the forums! Those don't look particularly tasty.

Let's finally spark up another debate on here:

After Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story came out, the various warp pipes in the Mario series have just gotten more confusing. How does a pipe inside Bowser's body lead to an outside area? Is it safe to assume that pipes are teleportation devices?

Toad · « **Reply #1784 on:** March 04, 2010, 12:36:38 AM »

Pipes in mid-air and pipes leading into/out of Bowser's body are seriously confusing.

I don't recall the website, but there used to be one that discussed theories for nearly all things in the Mario world. They wrote it like a report (actually, they wrote as if Professor Gadd had been writing it), and one theory they had for the pipes were these mysterious stones that they called warp stones. The discovery of the warp stones lead to two mushroom people testing the stones by placing one in a cup full of water and another in an empty cup, and watching as the water vanished from the first cup and appeared in the second.

Anyway, I've always liked the warp stone theory, so maybe that's it..
