Top 10 Things Wrong in Why Mario is Mental (Both Parts)

It's a common belief that, in Super Mario World, Mario punches Yoshi in the face to extend his tongue, and this was further popularized by the "Mario is Mental" videos. This belief is incorrect. Although it's hard to tell in-game due to how fast the frames go, if one were to examine a sprite sheet that includes the animation frames of Yoshi extending his tongue, one can see that Mario is actually pointing in the direction that he wants Yoshi's tongue to extend towards. This fact can be further proven by a piece of official artwork for Super Mario World that clearly shows Mario pointing at a berry while Yoshi's tongue has gotten a hold of said berry. If Mario was to actually punch him, I'm pretty sure that Yoshi wouldn't hesitate to eat Mario as a punishment for his actions. Also, I know that this has been said 100,000,000,000 times before, but it's the player's own fault if they choose to sacrifice Yoshi for an extra jump, not Mario's.

It only looks like he is punching because of the fast frames but obviously he is just pointing to tell Yoshi to open his mouth, Yoshi would never help Mario if he was mistreated by him.

While not all his evidence is valid, he still has proof Mario is mental. I mean, I know it's just a theory, but still. MatPat is just overhated. If you stop yourselves from being mad, and just listen, you can see the research, time and effort he puts into his theories. Some of them make perfect sense. I don't always agree with him, but most his theories are valid. Besides, if you don't like him, don't watch him.

Actually, Mario is pointing at Yoshi to tell him where to release the tongue. It's a only a frame of a second. You can't see it because Nintendo thought it would be weird. The position of Yoshi looks like he got punched is actually the animation of him ready to release the tongue to attack.

He took PETA's side, where most shunned them. Though I'm a Game Theory fan, I strongly disagree with at least this point. PETA knew that this was a desperate, plea for attention, heck they latter had to APOLOGIZE for the Tanookie leaf fiasco, and Game Theory "Forgot" to mention that.

Wait, wait.
MatPat is literally pointing out a true event. Tanooki Suit 2D is a game, on PETA's website no less!
That does not mean MatPat is a 'PETA supporter. ' It means he is just saying, 'Hey PETA blew up over this, so I can use it as a joke/reference. '

Mario is two-hearted.

He is good & bad at the same time. But I don't think that Mario's cheeks & nose make him evil. It's only his 80s porn star moustache that makes him evil.

MatPat is right. But Peach is not nice, & Rosalina is the awesome one who can rival DeeJay from Street Fighter & Your Favorite Martian (which will come back from retirement).

First of all Yoshi doesn't die he goes into an egg again and even if he didn't Yoshi's can jump from tall heights just like everyone else so however far down the cliffs lead he will most likely survive, not to mention he can save himself with his short floating ability. I don't think Mario wants to drop down Yoshi really, either he knows Yoshi can survive or that he has no other option.

WHY IS THIS NO.4?
Yoshi is immune to pits. He will regenerate into an egg.
However, he is then trapped in a hell until the single levels Mario can unleash him to do his dirty work.
WHY IS THIS NO.4?
It should be number 1.

Since I was being sarcastic there, let me tell you the truth. It's not Mario, it's the players. Believe me! I rode on a Yoshi before & I made Mario get off of Yoshi & Yoshi fell into a pit. I'm sorry I did it to you, Yoshi. (Part 1)

Yes it's the player, but you're forced to do it to get across long gaps. Oh, and please take note that in Mario's world, you don't exist. So in a way, it's not the player nor Mario. It's Nintendo that kills the yoshis.

One word is all the proof I need. It's even in the name. THEORY! You guys really think that the developers of Nintendo sat in their chairs at a table and were thinking of ideas for a children's game that's fun for the whole family, that one guy stood up and said, "Hey I know! Let's make a game about a psycho! Parents will LOVE that! "

MatPat is like Fox News, all Fabrication, no facts, and so inaccurate that Media Matters needs to follow him. MatPat pushes his theories as fact and makes Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein roll in their graves. Fox news should hire this guy as a replacement for Bill O'reily so he can stop poisoning our internet. On second thought O'reliy is better because he is not sexist compared to MatPat.

Something is just wrong with Matpat... Now it's all about the money. He even made another channel and those videos don't even have any facts. Have you seen Beauty and the Beast one?

That was mario

The Wiggler in Sunshine was preventing the birth of the legendary sand bird and the piantas asked him to kill it.

The Wiggler in 64 got angry when Mario ruined his house. How was Mario supposed to know Wiggler lived there? Also, the Wiggler got angry and tried to kill Mario, so Mario went in self defense.

Mario didn't know someone would live there it was an honest mistake and then it turned into a life or death situation for him and he had no option except to fight back.

That wiggler was causing chaos on Isle Delfino and Mario was just doing the Pianta a favor. It like your saying that a peasent in medieval times jumps the royal gates saves a princess from an assassin only to be thrown in Jail for trespassing.

Have you even did 'Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam! '? It's a mission from Super Mario Sunshine & Mario needs to kill the Wiggler. Check out the mission, see videos of it, and you'll see why Mario had to kill the Wiggler. (Part 1)

I don't remember him mentioning Racist Mario at all. Perhaps I need to rewatch both parts. But remember, he does like to joke. If he did, it was most likely a joke.

This is like watching Psycho Dad videos and suddenly believing that he is Angry Grandpa's nephew.

Racist Mario is a bad YouTube video. Why do people think it's ACTUALLY a game. Flashgitz clearly just hates Mario!

And it was on a completely different YouTube channel...

Donkey Kong was kidnapped and put into a cage in Donkey Kong Jr. Because he wants to put him back to the zoo so DK won't kidnapped Pauline. Cheep Cheeps are in packs in 100s so it would be hard, there are many different types of Cheep Cheeps and Mario fries them instantly for SELF-DEFENSE! (Stand Your Ground Law)

Contrary to the statements in this video made regarding Donkey Kong Jr., Jumpman (Supposedly Mario's dad) is not forcing DK Jr. t o perform dangerous acts against his will. Jumpman locked up Donkey Kong in a cage in this game so that he wouldn't cause any more trouble after he kidnapped Pauline, and because Jumpman knows that DK Jr is trying to rescue his dad from the cell block, he is trying to stop the little ape from accomplishing his goal by sending all sorts of enemies to get him and utilizing traps. However, if the face full of stress and fear isn't just DK Jr's nose, then it kinda makes sense that DK Jr would be worried about what might happen to his dad if he fails in his mission to save him, but it definitely wouldn't be over Jumpman supposedly forcing him to do precarious acts.

I also find the argument that Mario tortures enemies like Cheep Cheeps and Wigglers on purpose to be extremely flawed as well. Because the aforementioned enemies are usually forces of Bowser's ...more

Put down your torches and let me explain. The reason why Mario abuses animals is true because Mario tried to kill an innocent baby ape who was attempting to free his father from a cage by pulling a lever to send a spark of electricity down the vine and make Donkey Kong Jr. fall to his death. As for Donkey Kong himself, the only reason he captured Pauline in the first place is because he thought it would be the best way to pay Mario back for humiliating him in the beginning of the series by being forced to do dangerous circus stunts like juggling objects on top of a giant barrel while at the same time avoiding fire chains and fire hoops. So Donkey Kong was just getting even by capturing Mario's lady friend Pauline.

This should not be on even if they sat Mario is just pointing to yoshi and not punching him through he does abuse TURTLES!

This was probably an accident he let through. Chances are that if he was holding back information, he would be careful not to leave this in. It was probably an accident, even if he is wrong. I loved that game.

He forgot one thing, there totally was a Peach toy in Mario vs Donkey Kong. They even showed it in the video.

I haven't seen a peach toy in whatever game is supposed to be in.

Why did Mini Peach exist instead of Mini Daisy/Rosalina?

How is a single Mario Kart item proof that Mario is evil? Blue spike shells are only used in Mario Kart, not in other Mario games. Seriously, why would you think that, Mr. MatPat? (Part 2)

I always thought breaking a block would free the toad and he'd reward you with points. That or it's another kind of bricks. The manual also said Bowser turned them into other things as well.

It's official that Mario only witnessed Peach's kidnapping which happened AFTER the toads were turned to bricks.

They were turned into bricks, not brick blocks. So it seems that Mario is freeing the toads that are cursed.

I think Mario murdering Toad is funny. That probably sounds rude of me to say. I'm sorry it's Toad I hate Toad.

Mario is probably protecting Luigi. Besides, Luigi always runs away and is scared in the games.

Mario is just teasing Luigi.

After realizing about what Mario was doing, I felt sick and being lied to. I'm never gonna play a Mario game again. For those who wanna know what I'm rambling on about is that, I was watching 'Why is Mario mental' only to realize that Mario was killing innocent Mushroom People that were turned to Blocks and Goombas by crushing, trying to kill a baby ape who's trying to save his dad, flirting with other women (I dunno who Pauline is in the Mario games, because I never played a Mario arcade game), cheating on Peach for Pauline, not letting Luigi even having a smallest bit of victory, burning cheapcheap (Fish in Mario games) that aren't doing anything, and dropping and disposing the Yoshi's in pits. Looks like the Joker and those other comic/video game villains have a new drinking buddy.

It's true that Mario is crushing goombas but it doesn't help the fact that they're Mario enemies. Mario is crushing them because they work for Bowser. Speaking of Bowser, if the goombas are working for Bowser and you're defending them, why aren't you defending Bowser anyway?

So Goombas (the bad guys) can kill Mario, yet Matpat thinks Mario killing Goombas is an unforgivable sin.
