Anything is Possible
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." -Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey
Chapter 6: Limber Plumbers
The effort of lifting a barrel the size of oneself was twisted into nothing as Mario achieved the feat graciously. Another barrel rained down on his head, crushing the one above him. The hero did a backflip to safety underneath a platform - and then realized that a barrel was rolling straight at him. He leaped over it more gracefully as a ballerina, and picked up the next one.
The small, pixellated hero exhaustedly jumped up the platforms one by one, knowing that he had to save the princess who was screaming her lungs out quite obnoxiously. Perhaps that was why his adversary looked so constipated.
Mario jumped up at Donkey Kong, throwing a barrel at him. With declining music, Donkey Kong collapsed into an odd, squiggling bubble.
And then I knew exactly where to attack myself. And it didn't even involve any barrels.
