@“chazumaru”#p88041 Is Mario a dirty European socialist urban planner?

body language says: let's see what I can privatize

the toads are smiling now, but rent is about to go up

Maybe Bowser was gonna use that Penguin power star to give everyone free healthcare.

“Mushrooms grow in shit,” said Mario in defence of the declining living conditions for Mushroom Kingdom residents.

Wait
is Bowser Mao Zedong?

@“chazumaru”#p88049 Maybe Bowser was gonna use that Penguin power star to give everyone free healthcare.

Anyone who uses the power star becomes temporarily invincible and their body destroys all enemies it touches. Therefore, it's not a stretch to assume power stars can cure any kind of viral infection, bacterial infection, parasites, possibly even cancer, instantly.

Unsure of what Bowser wants with it in that context. Do we think the funny little penguin guys privatized the power star? I don't think Bowser is going to do that either way. He's generally above that kind of thing. Or below it depending on how you feel about kidnapping royalty

If we're going down that rabbit hole, then we have to ask how it knows to differentiate good viruses and bacteria, EG [gut microbiota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_microbiota), from bad ones. Or is a power star the *Mario* equivalent of swallowing a container's worth of [Barbicide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbicide), or contracting lupus?

In practice, it's actually fairly simple.

Bad viruses/bacteria will have frowny faces or mean eyebrows, a grimace, point teeth, spikes, etcetera...

...and good ones will have nicer eyes, a smiley face, or possibly also wear a non-threatening baseball cap and have rounded teeth.

@“Gaagaagiins”#p88072 Mario Monadology.

Mario has a well-documented disdain of viruses.
