But it's so dense, that it makes up for it's lack of mass.

Compared to Saturn, the moon isn't much bigger than the nickel.

Why are you comparing it to saturn??!?! Saturn is a gas giant. It's 95.2 times as heavy as the Earth. Compared to Saturn, the nickel dosn't even exist.....:/

And neither does Ralphael's moon. And I was comparing it help explain the moon needs to be a lot bigger to have gravity.

I think that moon is a bit bigger than a nikel....I also think it has a verry dense core compared to our moon. And I also really think that comparing it to Saturn is going a bit overboard. The Earth has better gravity the that moon and look at the size of it compared with Saturn. The gravity of Saturn is probably so gret that it would probably crush anyperson or yoshi on it if it wasn't mostly made up of gases. Also it dosn't matter the size, everything has gravity.

It is bigger, but not enough so to be able to hold the weight of anything. It has the same gravity, maybe not of Earth, but of ME, because Yoshi runs and jumps the same. Do you know how dense it would have to be? The Earth is already fairly dense. So, it would have to take a similar amount of the mass of the Earth, and compact it into the size of a small satellite. Can't be done.

There must be some explanation. Maybe the moon has some sort of gravity generator inside it.

Here's a bit of a strange theory. Maybe gravity in the Mushroom World has a different fall-off rate? As in, maybe it uses an inverse cube or inverse tesseractic law instead of the reverse square law.
...That probably confused you non-physics people. What I'm saying is, maybe gravity in the MW gets weaker with distance a lot faster than it does on Earth.

Sounds good to me. But the gravity generator won't work. If you figure it out, tell NASA, not us.

WHAT!!! You say Super Mario Bros. 3 is better than Super Mario World!!! Why I oughta...
