Super Mario Brothers 3 was actually a stage play and other mind blowing ****

[up in here]

i saw the curtain and everything but i didn't put it together that the whole game was a play. i mean when i watched it as a child i thought it was just a remake of the title screen from SMB2 which is a still image showing Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess and it looks like Luigi and Toad are throwing things at each other, similar to how Mario and Luigi are going at each other on the SMB3 title screen.



Also, as far as the curtain, again in SMB2 when you choose a player there is a stage curtain there too.



But we all know SMB2 was a dream and not a play, so when i seen the same thing or something very similar at the start of SMB3 i just thought it was a continuation of the intro style of part 2. But i guess some of yall realized Mario was exiting stage right and was running behind set pieces and shyt, but my little childs mind just didn't put that together.

It's not like any of these are completely out of left field.

Double Dragon has a dope back story.

We always think the story is:Two brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, wander through the streets of New York, beating up gangs. and the clichéd girlfriend gets kidnapped.

The real backstory is: The game is actually supposed to take place in the post-apocalypse. They're both supposed to be martial arts masters protecting a sacred and secret style. And the woman? She's not just your helpless girlfriend: She's also an instructor named Marian who also teaches at the martial arts schooL. The game manual also makes a specific point of mentioning that, though she's Billy's girlfriend, Jimmy has a thing for her too.

In the Famicom port's instruction booklet they're forced to close down their martial arts shop after the nuclear war kills most of their client base. Street gangs rise from the ashes of New York, and one such gang kidnaps Billy's girlfriend, Marian.

At the very end, after beating the boss, Lord Humungus, you get to randomly fight each other. As little kids it was fun for player 1 to fight player 2.

The truth is: It's revealed that Jimmy is actually the one who secretly kidnapped Marian. So what you saw through child's eyes as a fun little section where you finally got to fight each other, you now know was a (possibly post-rape) struggle between brothers in a society that collapsed, leaving violence and death as the only laws.

The Prestige spoilers below:

Spoiler

They thought that because Tesla's machine didn't clone things in the immediate vicinity where they expected it to, that it didn't work.
Turns out, they just didn't know where the clones were ending up...so Tesla's machine really DID work.
This meant that Hugh Jackman's character was really cloning himself, and killing himself each time, all for the sake of the "magic trick."
I loved The Prestige.

@ them clones, whats worse they h!nted that the or!g!nal m!ght be dead & !t was clones clon!n each other.... total m!ndfukk...

I'm with that guy...i knew about the curtain and the intro being a stage and a play, but I didn't piece together that the actual GAME was a play...this wasn't mind blowing but yeah I didn't put that together because, why would I?

furthermore, if you think of the powerups (tanooki suit, hammer bros suit, frog suit) they're all costumes; outside of fire power he just puts on a suit and gets the powers of the suit like a play costume. Clever little game.

fire power makes him change his outfit

So he's dead the whole time?

 

[Doctor Wily]

I always assumed the original was killing clones every night but if they were exact duplicates they knew they would be killed by each other so who was killing who?
