I guess some classic video game heroes make more sense than others…

I have someone who begs to differ in her victory quotes...

Mario lives in the mushroom kingdom, where there are giant venus fly traps, turtle-lizards steal the princess every now and then, and red mushrooms are trying to kill you.
These white mushrooms help you survive by giving you a height advantage. In addition, there are stars and flowers that give you abilities to combat these enemies.
This is all very weird. It's almost as if Mario...was on shrooms to begin with and he is suffering through one bad trip and the power-ups are his psyche trying to save him.
Now Mario must reach the princess, who is a metaphor for his escape somehow, by escaping the trippy world he is in.

That might actually turn out better than his envisioning of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
...not to be confused with giant blue people.
Also, are you folks going to hate me if I claim that's still a better love story than Twilight? I mean, I know it's over-used, but...

Correction:
"They ACTUALLY make you bigger."
In the right places.

'shrooms, for when you really need to gain 2-5 inches! Just watch out, get a little too rough and shrinkage time!

Ah AMV Hell the only thing that can take something as mind-bending as Paprika and make it even moreso.

Now the only question is: who would win in a fight?

Eh, Mega Man kinda makes sense. Especially if you follow some theories that say he takes their power chips. The physical contact thing also kinda works, if the powers only are data that travel through a robot's metallic skin. Even Axl makes sense, because he can only transform into things the size of himself.

What about Banjo and Kazooie? By this logic they were about as powerful and exciting as my grandmother!

If we wanna play like that.... Link isn't actually a platformer character. LOZ 2 was just one game and not typical of the series.
Sonic is essentially immortal as long as he has rings and doesn't drown.
Rayman is... well... unique....
Megaman is a solidly scifi themed game
Mario is well... the only one without a long term powerup system.
They're all different.

It didn't go over my head, I just thought that it wasn't all that funny. The "Mario's a Druggie" jokes have been tapped out and have ceased to be funny.
It's not that the joke WASN'T funny, it's just that I personally can't derive any more lulz from this vein of thought because I've seen it too many times.
Now that said, there are worse jokes. Like how there still haven't been ANY Touhou submissions and that I get downvoted for making on-topic references to anything related to it.

Instead of down-voting, I'll explain.
The joke is mostly from the principle of how these characters gain new abilties or more power. More specifically, it's that while the upper four characters gain abilities and strength from powerful entities such as fairies, chaos emeralds, and robot masters, Mario is just a druggie. If your point was that they're all different, then yes, a talking hedgehog, Italian plumber, fairy boy, robot guy, and limbless... thing are all different.

My point is that it's a stale joke, and no matter how many times I hear it, I won't find it funny anymore. In fact that it doesn't help that I somehow had a humorectomy since I stopped being a dedicated caretaker.
Get something stronger, I haven't been laughing recently.
Your charge dying of old age will do that to you.

I do agree that the joke has been done to death ("LOL Mario does shrooms!"), and this submission didn't bring anything new to the table. I just didn't think you made your point very clear.
Sorry to hear about the drop in your sense of humor. Was the "get something stronger" statement a genuine request? If you like games, JonTron has a very fresh style of humor.
