Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U is out now and it is one of the best Mario games to date. But as I am sitting down playing this game I can’t help but remember all the many worlds, lands, and even galaxies that the Mario Bros. and I have been to. With all these adventures together I think that I have learned some very important life lessons along the way. So come with me as I relate twenty of greatest life lessons I have learned from playing every Super Mario game to date.
- Save your money…it may lead to an extra life
- You can do anything with a little help from your family (and some weird mushroom looking guys)
- Being shot out of a cannon is not only fun it’s safe
- Things can always be found in the last place you look (example Princesses)
- Never be afraid to change your looks (Raccoon tails are always in)
- Always face your fears (and by fears I mean ghosts)
- Better to jump to far than to little
- Beware of the pot holes in life
- Watch out for exploding turtles
- Sometimes in life you must step on people to get to where you are going (by people I mean Goombas)
- Life is all about change so look out for moving platforms
- Eating mushrooms makes you grow big and strong
- Mind your surroundings you never know what can fall from the sky
- Gravity is weird
- Whenever in doubt jump into a painting
- Catching rabbits leads to happiness
- If at first you don’t succeed don’t worry you have an extra life
- Don’t be afraid to throw away your vegetables
- Sometimes the worst enemy you have to face is yourself (or someone who is disguised as you)
- Scuba diving can be hazardous to your health
