Not including remakes, DK and Wario games, e-Reader games, etc. is not having all them. That's like saying "I have eaten every kind of pepper in the world except Jalapeno peppers because I don't like them."

I'm with Megabyte on the "peppers suck" stance.

Excellent analogy. I don't like them either.

Peppers... I don't think they even have those at my local pizza orchards.

Does he have the origional stand up arcade Donkey Kong? Jumpman? Mario teaching typing or whatever it's called?

Red and Green Peppers are gross. They are an insult to a food as awesome and tasty as a pizza.

Technically, it was a simile, because he used the word "like" to compare.  The equivalent analogy, in the SAT sense of the word, would be:

The collection of games owned by mariofan 7's friend pete is to Paper Mario what the portion of pizza eaten by someone who eats pizza but takes the peppers off is to peppers.

This isn't a very good anaolgy, not because there is anything wrong with peppers, but because it is cumbersome and confusing.  The simile, however, was pretty good.

This is not a signature.

Actually, excluding the games I mentioned would be like saying, "I like all peppers except such and such, because I don't really consider it a pepper."

Hirocon, the analogy should go:

The collection of games owned by mariofan 7's friend pete : Paper Mario : : what the portion of pizza eaten by someone who eats pizza but takes the peppers off : peppers

Some of the peppers were merely pepper-tasting soy substitutes.

I for one don't like peppers too much either.

Tell your friend I said he's dumb.

You see people, ANYTHING can become a discussion here in the Fungi Forums. People said "Oh no, don't be stupid, we won't be able to start a discussion", but, lo and behold, a discussion about peppers and correct analogies has commenced. I rest my case. In fact, I just had a great idea/experiment. Look for a new topic created by me to see what I mean. Hehehe...

Emulator, huh?  Well, I guess it really isn't possible.  Actually, Shigeru Miyamoto probably has all Mario games for obvious reasons...

Sorry NintendoIke64, but I think a very obscure quasi-discussion has already taken place on your experimental thread.
