Why you shouldn't punch metal boxes

We’ve seen Futurama’s “what if life was more like a video game,” but what if video games were more like real life? If they were I would have to recommend NOT punching floating boxes made out of steel.

Technically, Mario hits it with his hand... his hand goes up one moree pixel than his head... so actually his hand would be broken... also, whenever Mario would normall stand on a pipe, he would just slip inside and get stuck... But the Fire flower is TOTALLY believable...

Anyone else notice the sly "Over 9000!" in here?

Nothing in that game should ever be attempted. If you see ten-foot turtles walking around, you run immediately.
