8. The Mario With The Iron Fists
There are a lot of jokes out on the world wide web about the way Mario smashes bricks with his head, but not many people realise that this joke is a actually painfully inaccurate. The truth is, Mario doesn't break bricks with his head, but instead with his fists! While admittedly he does cut it a bit fine sometimes on space, Mario has always been breaking the bricks with his fists. I mean, come on guys! Do you really think a game about a plumber fighting waddling mushrooms, so he can save a princess from a spiky fire-breathing turtle would be stupid enough to ignore the fact that breaking bricks with your head is seriously harmful? Don't be so foolish! However, it has to be said breaking bricks with your fist probably isn't much better for you. When you think about the number of bricks that Mario goes through in an average level, it leads me to the conclusion that his knuckles are probably broken beyond repair or slowly turning to dust. Nasty.
