Mario and Luigi, psychedelic heroes!

Mario Bros. are videogame heroes created and licensed by a Japanese corporation called Nintendo.

Mario Bros. are two brothers, Mario and Luigi. They are plumbers and their original mission is to rescue Princess Peach from the castle of an evil dinosaur called Bowser.

I think Mario and Luigi are very cool heroes. They aren’t like typical heroes; they haven’t a lot of muscles and they never gave moral advices. Actually, they and their world are psychedelic! They eat mushrooms and flowers for increasing their size or throwing fire-balls. They ride a dinosaur (why not?) called Yoshi and, when he eats a blue turtle shell, he can fly!  It’s about a radical opposition to a very coherent (so, a moralist and oppressive) world.

Also, they are working-men (plumbers) fighting against an unjust order, and they only survive by the interaction with the ambient. Yes, it’s true that Mario wants to rescue Peach, but he doesn’t work in a lineal way. In the game, there are very short ways for reach Bowser’s castle, but the real challenge is to complete the whole map, liberating all zones under Empire’s domination. In other words, Mario knows only rescuing Peach is not the solution!
