Well, teh, I tried playing that game...
First I walked around and played "Yoshi ransacks your kitchen" a couple of times, then I learned, step by step, how to make these little heart-shaped cookies. After that I tried to make some cookies of my own, but Yoshi wouldn't let me get the steps out of order.
I don't know what building you're talking about, but the only handles I saw were black.

Alright!
Okay, this next one is 50/50, so I don't want you to guess-- if you come up with an answer, tell me how you know it!
Question:
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, which increases a character's mass more, a super mushroom or a metal box?

I'm pretty sure it's metal box since Kirby And Jigglypuff don't grow much with the mushroom.

I really don't know that one. The metal box makes you drop a lot faster than becoming a huge mushroom, but I think you'd have the same mass because you're the same size (given that density doesn't count since it's a game, and that becoming metal dropping faster defies Newton's law of gravity and crap). However, becoming a giant mushroom is likely to give you more mass simply because you ARE bigger and should have more in you, rather than everything be replaced with metal. My guess would be the super mushroom.

Well, that's interesting logic, rainbowyoshi, but, even though Kirby and Jigglypuff don't grow much with a mushroom, they still grow at a consistent ratio with everybody else. This would also be true of the metal box.
Sorry, I'll need sounder proof.
Okay, teh, while you can't exactly apply Newton's laws to the game, it does account for density. A character's mass does, indeed, increase while metal. You'll just have to find a way to measure it.

Lol. Actually, Teh, Newton's laws do apply, at least for the metal box, when you take into account fluid friction with the air.  When you turn into the metal character, your character's mass increases, but your size and shape stay the same. Since F g = mg, and g is constant, the force of gravity acting on your character increases. Since your size and shape stay the same, you can assume one of two things: 1. The coefficient of friction between your character's skin/hair/clothes and the air remains constant. 2. Or, you could assume that the metal is smoother and won't catch the air as much, so friction will be reduced. Scenario 1: With a greater F g and the same force of friction with the air, the vector sum of the forces acting on your character increases in the downward direction. Thus, by Newton's law (i forget which number it is) F=ma, you accelerate downwards faster. Scenario 2: If the coefficient of friction is decreased, then the force of friction will decrease as well. With a greater F g and a smaller F f, the increase in the downward net force on your characer would be even greater. Yeah ... I read way too much into that. I'm a loser. |

Loser . Anyway, you're missing the point. How in the spoofing hell are you supposed to measure which mass is greater when metal or super 'shroom is applied? |

A-Hhhhhmmmmm.....
Now how on EARTH would you go about measuring mass...?
Why, you'd need some sort of mass measuring device, whatever that would be...

You also need a GameCube ¬_¬.

First off, Fifth told me (I guess out of an act of boredom) that his supposed "mass measuring device" is by using two characters with one metal and one super mushroom applied standing on those platforms with ropes and pulleys. (I assume you use the same characters). Now, by weighing the characters, of course, it would depend on gravity, therefore the device measures weight, not mass. (I would say it's unfair how Fifth led us trying to measure mass, even though I'm guessing he wanted weight, assuming they'd result in the same thing, but mass and weight are completely different). Since this is his question, and by using those platforms with ropes and pulleys were his intent, I guess I have no choice but to answer based on the results with that very test.
I got AnjilYoshi (tanky tanky! ;D) to do the test for me, since I don't own a GameCube. Well, simple enough, she says that metal weighs more. 'Tis all.
Only if Fifth just said weight this whole time, and not mass. I guess my brain can stop bleeding now.

Okay, here's a question.
If Mario was a real life person, how old would he be?

now does this imply on counting from when the game first came out?
if so then 23 or 24

Well, my answer is according to Nintendo Power.
