Video Game Logics

[Electriking]

Classic Castlevania doesn't do this, and the controls feel very stiff as a result. The levels were designed around this though, so USUALLY it's not an issue.

Donkey Kong does not do it either.

Also, the lack of fall damage in lots of platformers.

[Super Luigi!]

Explosions from TNT and Nitro Crates in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex destroy Crash, yet Coco merely passes out.

[Devan2002]

This applies to most games actually, but have ever thought about the concept of turning around mid jump, in the air? I totally understand why games do this, because it makes the controls feel much more responsive but like many things it doesn't work IRL. At least as far as I know.

Even the original Mario Bros falls under this umbrella.

[The Dwarven Digger]

Hm, that sure is actually an interesting point. Nearly every game features the ability to at least adjust your trajectory in mid-air, yet in real life that doesn't work. Why is it that despite it going against real-life physics, games feel just "wrong" without it?

It's probably because you feel powerless once you jump. Like you have no control until you hit the ground.

[Oshi]

You have multiple chances at live.



Also, clear pipes don't really make that much since either.

[1AmPlayer]

Mario only take fall damage in SM64 but not in other 3D games. Y tho?

[The Dwarven Digger]

In the Mario games, how can infinitely many enemies/items come out of a single pipe? Maybe the pipes lead to a giant breeding area, which would have to be linked to a massive farm to supply enough food. Which could be where all the powerups come from. Although, where would Bowser hide such a place, considering it has to be pretty huge considering the number of pipes and the rate at which enemies come out of them. But that still doesn't explain Bullet Bill blasters, since there's not really anywhere the Bullet Bills could come from.

Man, really wishing video game health rules applied to knee scrapes. It'd be awesome if I could just shrug this injury off, maybe even finish off that half-eaten sandwich I saw in the trash earlier to completely recover from the damage.

We here at the Rockythechao Studios Ltd. Inc. Company Corporation Conglomerate Organization Agency Place for Humanity advise against eating trash sandwiches or any other food directly from garbage cans and we will not be held liable for any confusion, food poisoning, and/or other misfortune or inconvenience that may result from doing so against common sense.

Nothing beats the taste of a nice roast chicken found in a 4,000 year old dungeon chest, am I right?

Why does Sonic race in a vehicle in Sonic racing games exactly?

[l0g1c]

Why does Sonic race in a vehicle in Sonic racing games exactly?

Two possibilities:
1) To not get hit by a car (even though he gets pummelled by robots constantly )
2) To even things up. Where's the competition if he can run faster than everyone else can drive?

[Devan2002]

Mario logic:

If Mario gets hurt by a goomba, he loses a powerup, gets hit by a ball of flames does the exact same. This makes it seem fire is as strong as a goomba.

(Edited)

MP8 Logic:

"You call that a year's worth of candy?"

"Any child with a huge crave for candy oughta eat all that in a week's worth. If you really want a year's worth, it ought to be about 2 square miles, perhaps even more depending on the amount of crave for candy.
Did I also mention that the host is secretly giving away type 2 diabetes?

[FireyPaperMario]

A young robot can endurance a few to some mecha missiles, But if that young robot lands on basic spikes, he dies instantly!

[Super Luigi!]

Water physics are phenomenally fickle.

[8lue Storm]

16. Mario Party-ing with walking bad fungi (goombas).
17. Mario Party-ing with that evil turtle that tried to kill all of us.
18. Bowser doesn't make that much of a challenge up, does he? He would've killed the player instead, if he wanted his plans to go right. Also...

In NSMBwii, Mario's fireballs can go through water, but Fire Bros's fireballs can't.

[FireyPaperMario]

Here's one Video Game Logic that confuses me every time I seen gameplay of and/or hear music from Ghost 'n Goblins:

If a monster hits you or attack with a range attack, the armor gets easily destroyed, but the wearer stills survives, until the wearer gets hit again... o_0

[RSupertheGreat]

Have this one Eartbound logic that may considered it is or not.

The cheap bracelet but it's price is expensive.

Well, that logic is common, since the currency in Earthbound was mistranslated to Yen & US dollars.
