Wouldn’t life be a hell of a lot easier if it were a video game? Concrete goals like “Save the Princess” would make worries like “What college do I attend?” completely obsolete. No more confusion about who your enemies are… just steer clear of any spiky shells or strange turtle dragon hybrids.
Of course the 1up Mushroom would be there to help. Many times in life we avoid taking a risk because of the dire consequences (death, dismemberment) involved. Collect a 1up mushroom and you would have carte blanche to try pretty much anything with no permanent repercussions. So go ahead… stick that plasma mug in the microwave for 30 minutes. When your house turns into a nuclear waste site simply use your 1up Mushroom to re-spawn at the beginning of the level. No muss… no fuss… we would.
