8 Video Game Moments Designed To Troll You
8. Warp Pipe Madness - Mario : The Lost Levels
While he might look like butter wouldn't melt in his overalls, The Mustachioed Nintendo Mascot known as Mario isn't actually the type to wear a white cap (well outside of magical shape-shifting ones but they don't count) seeing as he and his parent company have routinely mocked and cajoled their player base.
I mean just look at the whole "Super Mario 2 being Doki Doki Panic" exchange, where a Mario skin was basically slapped on top of an entirely different title and then paraded around as an official entry for the West. This resulted from the fact that Nintendo deemed the actual Super Mario sequel as being too difficult for American gamers and so did the old switcheroo to keep the big boo hoo babies happy.
However happy they were not when the ruse was discovered, as now audiences demanded they got the full experience, to with Nintendo obliged.
And by that I mean they released what should be known as Mario Maker's precursor onto the world AKA a LIVING HELL OF TROLLING MOMENTS, (hello poison mushroom in the first box you find) the pinnacle of which was found in World 3-1.
Here the player could leap over the flagpole at the end of the stage rather easily, and rather than question this, gamers dashed onwards to what surely was going to be a warp pipe quick skip to another later level.
What they found however was the exact opposite in that it was a pipe that sent them all the way back to World 1-1.
Oh, Nintendo. please stop. I'm already dead.
