Magazine references[edit]

Blip[edit]

The first issue of Blip, a short-lived gaming magazine released by Marvel Comics in 1983, features a comic based on Donkey Kong.

The comic begins with news reporter Vic Video (accompanied by two unnamed members of a press crew) interviewing Mario. Vic quickly proves to be rude and inconsiderate, interrupting Mario's responses and continuing to follow him to ask him questions even when Donkey Kong suddenly appears and Mario begins chasing him down. Donkey Kong has kidnapped a damsel who resembles Lady, although Mario claims that he does not know her. After she is rescued, Donkey Kong kidnaps Vic, who attempts to interview him, only to be thrown off the construction site. Mario rescues him just as Donkey Kong captures the damsel again and flees. Mario and Vic chase him, during which Mario reveals some backstory: Donkey Kong was genetically engineered in Japan to help with construction work, but he instead chose to kidnap damsels, which is how he and Mario first met. Mario explains that the reason Donkey Kong kidnaps damsels is that "they remind him of the mother he never knew," and he fights Donkey Kong only because he feels he is the only one able to do so. As he and Vic reach Donkey Kong and the damsel one last time, Mario tells the damsel to scratch Donkey Kong behind the ears, which soon pacifies him. As the three begin to relax, Vic asks Mario how they plan on getting down from the construction site, in response to which Mario simply asks, "Down?" Vic Video then promptly concludes the interview.

It's a-me Density![edit]

The physics paper It's a-me Density!, published in the Journal of Physics: Special Subjects, by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at England's University of Leicester, discusses the physics, density and astronomy from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

The paper also explores the effect of short-range gravity on the Mario Brothers, along with their jumping abilities and overall appearance.

"Clearly, the degeneracy pressure far outstrips the gravitational pressure by eleven orders of magnitude," the paper concludes. "The outcome of this discrepancy is that if constructed, the planet would survive for only a very brief moment before violently destroying itself and any short plumbers who happen to be running about on its surface."
