Why does merely touching enemies kill Mario? Bowser I can understand,

They bite.

>>385635942
But even running into them from behind kills Mario.

It's a symbolic representation of them leaping up and fucking mauling him to death.

Or if you want, they're just enchanted with harmful magic.

>>385633978
Because it's a video game with set rules.

They turn around and bite

Don't let it bite ya!

What about Bloopers? Mario can breathe underwater, but dies instantly from touching one.

And don't tell me they're biting him when they don't even have mouths.

Maybe the instruction booklet has an explanation?

>>385633978
Bowser's description in the manual is that he can cast black magic. So yes, they're enchanted.

Why doesn't Mario just shoot Bowser?

I mean what the fuck. He is an italian from fucking new york. You can't tell me this little shit doesn't have connections to the mafia. He could make the body dissapear and everything.

He has no problem throwing bowser into lava, but for some reason he just won't pull out a piece and put a bullet between bowsers eyebrows?
How many times has Bowser to kidnap his bitch before Mario actually does something?

Seriously, Miyamoto is a hack.

They use their tentaclee to crush him.

Why does Nintendo keep Bowser alive while getting rid of the best villain in the series?
