  • Ryan0617, on 02/16/2008, -24/+64Poor Turtles :(
    • jershie, on 02/16/2008, -7/+10They got what was comin' to em! ~Luigi
    • linuxrocks2007, on 02/16/2008, -3/+26If I should call you up, invest a dime
      And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
      Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
      So happy together.
    • TheWiseNoob, on 02/16/2008, -3/+25Koopa Troopas, damn you!
      • Asianwaste, on 02/17/2008, -1/+1or Nok Noks
        • tehrich, on 02/17/2008, -1/+2Is the only time they called them that in English in Mario RPG for SNES? Even then, wasn't it just one of Mario's weapons / armor? Either way, dugg for the reference.
          • Asianwaste, on 02/17/2008, -1/+1It's Japan's name for the turtles. Koopa is the original name for Bowser. Which is where we got Koopa Troopa. Personally I am a fan of our local names.
    • kutateli, on 02/16/2008, -5/+28I like turtles.
    • aacidusX, on 02/17/2008, -1/+5you mean the goombas
    • BestJaxx, on 02/17/2008, -5/+1Exactly one digg as of the time that I replied to you (10 hours after you posted that.) How did you manage that?
    • P8ntBal1551, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3its a war out there, its either us, or mario, whos side are you on??
    • kaelyiesta, on 02/18/2008, -0/+3Hey, blame the people that put those baby goombas in harms way in the first place! Mario has every right to defend himself even if bowser strategically places babies near his more dangerous troops.
  • KnockoutNerd, on 02/16/2008, -2/+311I never thought I would ever feel bad for goombas.
    • smoothlou, on 02/16/2008, -2/+72Don't add insult to injury. They prefer to be called "Italian Americans."
      • groo68, on 02/16/2008, -2/+35I thought it was Mushrooms of American decent.
    • JayD16, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6Goombas have it pretty bad. They're the majority of the mushroom kingdom but they have to live under the iron fist of princess peach's tyrannical rule.
    • Hodoufo, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1you can feel bad for the goombas, but you'll never feel bad for the shy guys. (even though they're not in the pic)
      • DephexTwin, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3They're the mimes of the mushroom kingdom...
      • bthug7, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah they're even scheming a-holes in Mario Party 8
    • ehal256, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3they were just trying to go left..
  • DonWigler, on 02/16/2008, -4/+593I don't care what anyone says, that sun if ***** EVIL!
    • funkedup, on 02/16/2008, -1/+65yes, quite. i still think that the douche bag throwing spiked critters is more annoying though. i go out of my way to get the bastard.
      • ghgh1313, on 02/16/2008, -0/+14those ***** with the hammers get old too
      • DarkPhoen1x, on 02/16/2008, -5/+10@DonWigler That would be Lakitu

        @ghgh1313 That would be the Hammer Brothers :P
        • bagboyrebel, on 02/17/2008, -4/+9no, it's not lakitu. In mario brothers 3 there is a level where the sun tries to kill you.
      • melonade, on 02/17/2008, -0/+5I like to kill him and steal his cloud.
      • BoneheadFarker, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1But the guy throwing the spiked critters can give you 100 free lives. The sun is just a prick...
    • Agger, on 02/16/2008, -2/+18You sure Mario didn't screw his wife or something?
    • ligyron, on 02/16/2008, -5/+3I still cringe just looking at that thing. I think it has permanently emotionally scared me
      • sg7791, on 02/17/2008, -0/+18You shouldn't be looking into the sun.
      • SilentSpyder, on 02/17/2008, -1/+5Shameless plug. You can see my others at "http://www.kennyvelez.com/portfolio/illustrations/". The Yoshi one doesn't show Mario in a good light as well. I should get a Wii and start playing something new, since I haven't played a Mario game since SNES I have no more material to go on except the first 3 games.
    • Jesusridesabike, on 02/16/2008, -2/+25If it? If it really?
    • JayD16, on 02/17/2008, -2/+7Stupid Sun! Why can't you be more like the moon?
    • BriscoeJr, on 02/17/2008, -6/+0http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w79/Kevinsand/M ...
      The sun is a jerk.
    • antiorblkflag9, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2I still have nightmares about him from when I was younger
    • undershirt, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2I have a love/hate relationship with that sun. I remember my sister and I screamed through the entire level trying to get away from him, haha.
    • shovel24, on 02/18/2008, -0/+2You've gotta get the leaf and fly over him most of the level, then it's not so bad :)
  • voomfoo, on 02/16/2008, -39/+9but bowser nabbed marios ho remember. you have to do whatever it takes for the poontang.
    • markperia, on 02/16/2008, -1/+19yet at the very end he doesn't get *****.
      • WiseWeasel, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1That's why you have to get the unrated version...
      • bob12321, on 02/16/2008, -0/+5He got a cake.
        • bbardlbradd, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1Everyone knows about that DAMN CAKE!
        • OrangeSoda31, on 02/17/2008, -1/+5He only gets a cake when he jumps through pictures, dare I say portals, on the walls in the princess' castle
        • melonade, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1This was a triumph.
    • americascynic, on 02/16/2008, -3/+0Yeah. There was always the goal in Mario to save the princess. But in #2, you can be the princess, so what's your goal? I know that #2 wasn't supposed to be a Mario game originally, but it would have been nice to add a story to it (or maybe I just can't remember one).
      • diadem2, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1i think the story is "you mess with our kingdom and we'll destroy yours and the one next to it"
        • Turambar, on 02/16/2008, -1/+5this is Mario, not American Foreign Policy
      • hypertension, on 02/16/2008, -1/+6The story was that it was all a dream. You find out after you beat it.

        Oops, spoiler. Does it count as a spoiler anymore for a 20+ year old game?
        • Garlik, on 02/16/2008, -1/+0It says that it's a dream in the manual, well at least in the GameBoy Advance version it does
          • Nitesmoke, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1It says its a dream at the beginning, and then you wake up after you kill the giant frog guy.
      • Jpotts12, on 02/17/2008, -1/+1Does it matter? If you want story, go play final fantasy VII.
      • IndigoMoss, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1I think the real story is, take too many of those giant mushrooms and you become a mass-murderer of all the local wildlife. That's what I got out of it anyways.
  • Agger, on 02/16/2008, -6/+453Mario fights the terrorists there, so he doesn't have to fight them over here!
    • peestandingup, on 02/16/2008, -2/+88Its true. They hate Mario for his freedom.

      Time to slap a "Support Our Mario" bumper sticker on the back of my giant SUV.
    • BlackStorm, on 02/16/2008, -0/+17Thats what i was thinking when I saw that picture. I took it as an anti-war political cartoon. But, never looked at Mario that way I guess. Got the point across though.
    • techlyc, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2I won another free lunch with THIS comment. Within five it gets compared to the war in Iraq!!
      Mario is totally bringing freedom to the Mushroom Kingdom by way of brute force and fireballs.

      Multiplayer Digg is way more fun than just reading and laughing at your monitor.
    • kaelyiesta, on 02/18/2008, -0/+2Exactly! If you want someone to blame, blame the people that put those babies in harms way in the first place! Mario has every right to defend himself even if bowser strategically places babies near his more dangerous troops.

      Politicizing video game cartoons is fun!
  • Ascendancy5, on 02/16/2008, -15/+111The one in the middle got pwned by that brick.
    • Celeron, on 02/16/2008, -1/+40Yea, thanks for saying the obvious.
      • diadem2, on 02/16/2008, -16/+2welcome to digg, here's a cookie. you expect something complex with a topic like this?

        digg isn't exactly mensa..
        • krisscofield, on 02/17/2008, -2/+2Why is this person being buried? Oh how dare he make a valid point! Bring on the Cracked spam!
        • melonade, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Boo
    • Jpotts12, on 02/17/2008, -1/+2He didn't get pwnd, he got ***** murdered.
  • st00p3rman, on 02/16/2008, -33/+3No, this is the real Mario:
    http://208.109.97.61/games/shots/super-mario-bros. ...
  • haxderek, on 02/16/2008, -2/+65The sun always pissed me off
  • fenix61, on 02/16/2008, -6/+41When the ***** did the turtles get that big?
    • Richggs, on 02/16/2008, -0/+78About world 4.
      • dasdef, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3haha i love it everytime that i get to this world
      • ArchiTech, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah, just use the Toot Whistle... I love the map music for World 4
    • diadem2, on 02/16/2008, -7/+2perspective
    • KaJuN4, on 02/16/2008, -2/+5The extreme growth is a side effect of Iraq's WMD hoards.
    • likwidfuzion, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2They've been taking the same stuff Sly Stallone is taking lately.
    • JamesBond, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3Ask Barry Bonds.
  • TobyDumb, on 02/16/2008, -10/+4Looks like Mario kicked ass and took names!
  • macweirdo42, on 02/16/2008, -3/+401Gotta admit... In all of his years of "terrorizing" the Mushroom Kingdom, has Bowser ever actually killed anyone?
    • USAOwnz, on 02/16/2008, -2/+174Dude, that's deep!
    • Zippo, on 02/16/2008, -7/+178All he wanted was some Princess Peach pussy.
      • FatLoser, on 02/17/2008, -1/+13Bowser likes him the Peach fuzz.
      • awkwardmoment, on 02/17/2008, -8/+1Too bad all she is putting out is cake. *Waits for Portal reference*
      • buzzkilled, on 02/17/2008, -2/+0That brings bestiality to a whole new level.
      • ArrogantParagon, on 02/17/2008, -0/+0With the rate at which she gets kidnapped, you'd think she was into it. Of course, Mario must be getting some to, for all the trouble he goes through for her. Man, sometimes you just gotta let them go.
    • ghgh1313, on 02/16/2008, -13/+3certainly not in mario kart...he ***** sucks in that game
      • solidus636, on 02/16/2008, -1/+11Maybe you just suck...
        • Asianwaste, on 02/17/2008, -2/+1No... bowser did suck
        • ghgh1313, on 02/17/2008, -0/+0give me koopa troopa or DK and i'll kick anyone's ass
      • skywake, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1keep out of the sand and don't rely on snaking. My friends will tell you that Bowser most certainly does not suck in Mario Kart and they will have the bruises from falling off Rainbow Road to prove it. :P
      • Kanidia, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Okay the reason you choose Bowser is to knock people off their course, not because you wanted acceleration or speed...
    • getsk3wled, on 02/17/2008, -2/+31what are you talking about? he killed me like 4 times!!
      • GlacialPhoenix, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6He was defending himself!
      • macweirdo42, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3My only regret is that I have but three lives to give for my kingdom. Unless I find 100 coins. Or a 1-UP mushroom.
    • Flame15, on 02/17/2008, -1/+9Oh ny god I've been playing on the wrong side this whole time. My life is a lie!!!
    • someidiotinnj, on 02/17/2008, -1/+2I know he hit me quite a few times with those damn turtle shells in Mario Kart back in the day, injured is more like it.
    • vspazv, on 02/17/2008, -1/+19Bowser was framed. The fake princesses were actually planted by Luigi so Mario would have an excuse to take over Mushroom Kingdom for their advanced coin and food production facilities.
    • ravs, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7At least he made the trains run on time.
    • DiggMasterJ, on 02/17/2008, -1/+9We have credible intelligence that he has weapons of mass destruction.
  • Shamanusa, on 02/16/2008, -0/+58"It's a Sicilian message. It means Bowser Koopa sleeps with the fishes."
    • thephosphorbox, on 02/16/2008, -0/+13You know what they say.. never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
      • sekhui, on 02/17/2008, -5/+1i do not think that word means what you think it means.

        :)
      • DephexTwin, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2Don't worry, I won't... I'm too busy fighting this land war in Asia right now anyway.
  • misterparry, on 02/16/2008, -5/+54they had weapons of mass destruction.......honestly.
    • Dgen_X, on 02/16/2008, -0/+8those bullet bills carry a nuclear...err...nookuler payload
  • joshzam, on 02/16/2008, -12/+6At first glance, I thought they were trying to say something about Mario being the evil Pharoah in Egypt and forcing his koopa slaves to build the pyramids. I've got Hebrew school on the brain...
  • timewarp424, on 02/16/2008, -17/+2Maybe if I showed this picture to girls, they'd realize that my love for a badass like Mario makes me more macho... amirite? please.. tell me i'm right?
  • LumberingOaf, on 02/16/2008, -6/+0Mario: Pwning fools since 1981!
  • diadem2, on 02/16/2008, -11/+3maybe they should have thought of the consiquences before they kidnapped the princess and in an attempt to usurp the throne in a brutally oppressive rule... just saying

    honestly, what did they think would happen. it's not like this is the first time they tried this. Then again, i guess they were just following orders...
    • bjs3171, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1seriously. it was like, the 3rd time.
  • ImmediateAction, on 02/16/2008, -2/+43The rivers run red with Goomba blood...
  • RonPaulSucks21, on 02/16/2008, -7/+17Shouldn't have ***** with his ho. They had to pay the price.
  • Farceur318, on 02/16/2008, -12/+0Of course this picture will get you laid. Why wouldn't it?
  • VaporBro, on 02/16/2008, -4/+29Mariowned
    • xiphy, on 02/16/2008, -5/+3I see what you did there.
      • iPissExcellence, on 02/17/2008, -0/+4I know right; he totally merged the character's name, 'Mario', with the word 'owned'. VERY CLEVER!!!

        /sarc you
  • mearom, on 02/16/2008, -1/+42Whats up with mario related images on digg today?
    • FatLoser, on 02/17/2008, -0/+16One gets front-paged and then every idiot looks for more in the hopes of achieving the same success.
  • brstilson, on 02/16/2008, -2/+58http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/307402
    The People's Mario
    • neko6, on 02/16/2008, -6/+1In Soviet Russia, Mario play you!
    • Syric, on 02/17/2008, -0/+18I gotta say... that USSR music is actually quite inspiring.
  • D3koy, on 02/16/2008, -2/+17It's been over 25 years! When will the violence end? I can't remember a time when goombas weren't being killed by this Rambo-esque Red Beret...
  • fgterpilotmafia, on 02/16/2008, -44/+3*****! You ***** diggites are MARIO'S BALL WASHERS!!!!!

    NERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Mario is a pussy and so are you.
    • CATSCEO, on 02/16/2008, -1/+9...the *****?
    • norbiu, on 02/17/2008, -0/+24Luigi??
    • Arcesius, on 02/17/2008, -1/+1How many steroids are you taking, dude? There's not much blood reaching your brain, is there?
    • mdoerr, on 02/17/2008, -6/+1Thank you for speaking up for the non-virgin contingent on Digg...all 12 of us.
      • fgterpilotmafia, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1No problem. Are there that many of us?? Hahahahaha
  • fgterpilotmafia, on 02/16/2008, -8/+7Super Mario Bros.

    From the people who brought you...........Pearl Harbor.
  • thenewkasanova, on 02/16/2008, -2/+10Jesus...is it really old Mario-related cartoon day?
  • penguinae, on 02/16/2008, -1/+27***** just got real!
  • booboolean, on 02/16/2008, -0/+81Does anyone else remember that in the instruction manual for the original Super Mario Bros. it said that all those blocks and bricks you see in the game were actually mushroom people that Bowser had transformed... That always kinda weirded me out.
    • cknyan, on 02/17/2008, -0/+4Wtf?! Seriously?
    • shovel24, on 02/18/2008, -0/+1remember?? Do you realize how long it's been since I've had a mario instruction manual :P
  • Mark7r0n, on 02/16/2008, -3/+117Spreading Democracy to Worlds 1-1 through 8-8 since 1981.
    • linuxrocks2007, on 02/16/2008, -0/+8The minus world didn't have much love. =(
    • GhostToon, on 02/17/2008, -1/+9Wait isn't it a monarchy since Peach is a princess? Plus ya know it is called the Mushroom Kingdom.
  • hitmonval, on 02/16/2008, -1/+12They had to be in an Arab country too.
  • stretch611, on 02/16/2008, -11/+1I'm a gamer... But I do not realize how this garbage makes it to the front page.
    Buried as lame.
  • Twyman, on 02/16/2008, -3/+14No, this is the real Mario.
    http://silentkv.deviantart.com/art/Mario-pre-mushr ...

    From the same artist.
  • Slickjim, on 02/16/2008, -2/+3At least we know he did it for a valiant and justified reason. Some otha pimp be frontin' on his turf. 'Sides, that ho owed him 40 coins.
  • Carlix, on 02/16/2008, -0/+30Goombas! Tonight we dine in hell!
  • RaDeus, on 02/16/2008, -2/+16makes me think of Link's rampant kleptomania and habit of murdering all the local wildlife...
  • monkeyrun, on 02/16/2008, -1/+3What's with this continuous smear campaign on Mario?
  • MrTeQ, on 02/16/2008, -1/+3They were bluffing when they said they had WMD's
  • Confusinator, on 02/16/2008, -2/+7When I was five years old, I used to call Goombas "Underwear-Heads".
    • FatLoser, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Lol, reminds me of when I was five years old, and my uncle made me wear my underwear on my head.
      • Animelee, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1I used to call them the "potatoes".
      • GhostToon, on 02/17/2008, -0/+5OK show the nice police man on the doll where you uncle touched you.
      • aoneal417, on 02/17/2008, -1/+1haha, that reminds me of the time when I was five, and that cop in the mall pulled me into the bathroom and said, "this is how you don't touch people"
  • Torx, on 02/16/2008, -3/+2That's DEEP.
  • Signa91, on 02/16/2008, -6/+5two sucky mario pics in one day? by the same guy? i.......i dont get it......what are we coming to?!?!?! *blows brains out*
    • GhostToon, on 02/17/2008, -0/+4He pulled the trigger and instead of a "SPLAT" sound we heard a "whoosh" sound as all the air escaped.
    • melonade, on 02/17/2008, -1/+2DO IT *****
  • itsmematthew, on 02/16/2008, -1/+3this picture will spawn a spinoff series.
  • psi0nicgh0st, on 02/16/2008, -5/+0Sonic needs to show that fascist puppet Mario whats what!
  • neko6, on 02/16/2008, -1/+3Mario goes around terrorizing poor Goombas and Koopas... Its not their fault their king is a douche! They did nothing wrong :(
    I say from now on, play Mario games without hurting the minions. Leave your anger for the big baddies.
  • KaJuN4, on 02/17/2008, -4/+14Vote Ron Paul and put an end to the goomba killing madness!!!
  • Felco, on 02/17/2008, -2/+1Each side thinks they are right in war!
  • depro9, on 02/17/2008, -1/+4Why did Mario have to murder those children? Mario should have to face a tribunal for his crimes.
  • yankeeblue, on 02/17/2008, -1/+6Wow, in light of this event, I am creating the Save the Goombas Interkingdom Fund. Help me raise money and awareness in the tragedies that Koopas and Goombas face everyday on the job.

    send all Gold Coins, Stars, Magic Wands, and Toadstools to AllHailKingBowser@YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle.net
  • TheTjalian, on 02/17/2008, -2/+11WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE GOOMBA CHILDREN?
    • melonade, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6But any contact with their skin causes instantaneous death... Unless you jump on their heads, of course.
  • theshadow6, on 02/17/2008, -1/+0Intelligence reports confirmed that the Goombas were stockpiling weapons of mass destruction; Mario did what had to be done.
