"The Mario Brothers Drinking Game"
What turned started as one of the few ways to get through the Super Mario Super Show with sanity intact has quickly turned into an excuse to drink anytime that one of the plumbers appears in anything at all. There are some rules that seem to only apply to the Super Show itself. All points listed are single drinks unless otherwise mentioned.
Luigi proves himself to be worthless: This happens more often then one would think. If it involves the Super Show you might as well as consider him just one really long excuse to continue drinking. (I guess if you really need an excuse to keep drinking.) When you are more worthless then a character that was placed in one game that no one ever played, and has an entire rule based on how annoying he is (Toad) you really have no reason to live.
Peach seems to genuinely not care: Basically, if Peach is around looking at shit, drink.
Contingency problem: Simple enough, based on what you know about Super Mario and his adventures you try and figure out things that worked at one point and is either completely different now, or just doesn't work. IE. Mario changes to the wrong color while using firepower, he can no longer jump, or he questions Peaches non-caring, suicidal orders.
Something strangely sexual happens: Very dangerous rule if you are watching the Super Show. They never come out and say it, but I am pretty sure that everyone involved had a very repressed childhood and was trying to get that out by having Toad buttfucking Luigi during the commercials. Bowser had this thing about having his minions licking his feet. I don't really know how to describe it better then awkward for everyone watching, but it does happen... all the time.
Super Show only drinks:
Toad annoys you: Considering that it sounds like a cross between Bobcat Goldthwait and a cat getting its intestines pulled out with a rusty butter knife and fed to its children every time he opens his mouth, I would place this firmly in the danger zone. God Top Gun was a good movie.
Italian reference: Simple enough, Mario loves his pizza and pasta. Note: When he mentions one thing, he normally start on a list of things that he wishes he was eating right now. You are lucky if you get off under five drinks.
Double drink: Something mentioned is disgusting. Normally (always) only effects the italian reference drink. After mentioning about five things he wants on his pizza, he drifts into a world of pure fatness where everyone else dreads to venture. Pickles with your milkshake filled with pepperoni? I am glad that plumbers have a higher tolerance for that kind of shit, and for that, I take off my hat and give you a Stacker Mario.
Things that rarely come up and aren't really worth drinks:
Plumbing references: I don't get it. I mean, they say they are plumbers, but they never really plumb anything. Maybe in the intro to the show, but, never after. I kind of just figured that it was all trippy japaneseness that had them eating mushrooms and going down pipes.
