Let's take proverbs, sayings, witticisms, quotes etc. and rewrite them to be about the Mario universe! This was originally a project for a randomly-loading saying in the Waluigious sidebar, but I gave up since I couldn't come up with many. Maybe you can!
Here are some examples so you see what I mean:
"L is real, unless declared integer."
from "God is real, unless declared integer", based on programming languages differentiation between real numbers and integers. And L is Real, of course.
"The longest jump is the one that goes backwards."
Backwards Long Jumping, a SM64 exploit.
"There is no Gameshark for fate. You'll need a hex editor."
"Grinder seed, Grinder shoot."
from "monkey see, monkey do".
"Be like a Bumpty, let your sorrows bounce off you. Just don't slide into pits."
"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a Whacka."
from "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
"May your day be Funky, may your enemy's day be Tubular."
"Skolars don't like 'Yo Mamar' jokes because they aren't Klevar."
Stupid puns.
"You won't win her heart with flowers since HP≠FP."
"'One-byte nostalgia' doesn't have the same ring to it."
8 bits = 1 byte.
"MARIO LUIGI PEACH TOAD = A HI-LOGIC DREAM UTOPIA"
Anagrams! Also, it was a dream.
"The Key to Knowledge is guarded by the Phanto of Procrastination."
"He who Tattles on others can't keep stats in his head."
"Wa-lu-i-gi, yeah, yeah, yeah! That's true wisdom."
Indeed.
"The Mondo tide depends on the phases of the 3-Up Moon."
"Toads are like frogs, but instead of marrying princesses, they fail to protect them."
"It's all fun and games until someone breaks their analog stick."
"Legend tells that whoever understands the meaning of 'Neosquid' will obtain unspeakable power."
Seriously, what is up with that name?
"Moon phase divination works; after all, Lunar Magic changes the World!"
Lunar Magic, the SMW editor.
"A real Mario fan doesn't just create wind, he refreshes the ambience."
Pun on "fan".
"Permanence is something only a Star Egg can give you."
"That's Mamaliga to you, Mario!"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamaliga
"An army wearing Gumption Socks would be unstoppable."
Because they would revive after one turn, and be immortal until someone takes out the whole army at once.
"Per SMS, a shape-shifting blob of water could impersonate anyone perfectly."
"Some ghosts are simply not worthy of Luigi's mention."
Puuunnnnn.
"Bowser statues vs. Mario Zone: who has the real illusions of grandeur?"
"A friend you can jump off in midair from is a friend indeed."
The old Yoshi demotivator "You traitorous swine".
"A buddy watches your back. So does a Boo Buddy."
So, what nerdy and facepalmingly groanworthy sayings have you got?
