MARIO: What? Come on, I know she’s here, Toad.
TOAD: No. She’s not. She’s in another castle, like I said.
MARIO: Stop messing with me. You know how many castles I’ve been to? Where is she? I need to see her. Why are you doing this to me?
TOAD: Alright, look, we’ve been trying to be nice about it, but… she doesn’t want to see you. It’s better if you just go away and stop looking for her.
MARIO: But.. rescue… princess…
TOAD: No. She’s moved on, Mario. It’s time you do the same.
MARIO: Is that really what she said?
TOAD: Yes.
MARIO: …
TOAD: Sorry.
MARIO: Well, what am I supposed to do now?
TOAD: …
MARIO: …
TOAD: Find another princess?
MARIO: Yeah, I guess so…
TOAD: …
MARIO: …
TOAD: I’ve got some mushrooms. You know, if you’re into that kind of thing.
when i was a kid, there was a long-standing joke between me and my dad about this when we first got the nintendo. my dad would be watching me play or i’d be watching him play and my dad would always say “thank you mario! but the princess is everywhere but here!” i don’t know. this always made me laugh.
thiscouldbebetter just made me laugh even harder.
