Chapter 1: Episode 1 - Super Mario Madness
Load Full Story Next ChapterMythbuckers
Hi and Welcome to the first episode of Mythbuckers! I'm Green and this is Twilight.
Hello there. So this is how the show works: we test myths. That's pretty much it. We also do stipid things and...
BLOW CRAP UP!
Yes, we do. Anyway, on to the first myth.
Super Mario Madness
So we are testing the myth that weapons used in the Mario games are effective in real life. But, we already know what shrooms do to you, so we will test out fire.
Keep in mind, we are trained professionals. So don't try this at home.
First is fireballs. We have someone to take care of fire, so let's go.
At The Bomb Range
Philomena is atop Twilight's head.
This is a phoenix named Philomena. She belongs to the princess, so we asked to borrow her for this experiment. Under safety rules, she is accompanying us to test the myth. Say hello, your highness! The camera points at the princess. She waves before the camera points back at me.
We will have Philomena throw a ball of fire at a Bowser stand in. He will be played by Buster. Buster is in a Bowser costume.
The three of us will hide in the bunker as the phoenix will not be harmed by the fire.
The phoenix gets on an X as Buster is placed a few feet from her. I put her in a Luigi Costume for laughs.
It's looks good on you...even with a mustache.(Princess) The Phoenix huffs smoke.
This is SUPER MARIO BROS. BOWSER VS MARIO IN 3...2...1 The fire is formed and hits Buster, sharing him to bits. I laugh like Adam. Twilight is silent like Jamie. We head out of the bunker. We see the remains of Buster.
Now there's your problem!
The result was conclusive. The myth is Confirmed.
Confirmed it is...also... thank you for letting us borrow your...bird(finger), Princess. Philomena flew up to Celestia. I tried not to laugh.
CONFIRMED
Next up. See Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow go head to head in a contest of intuition and creativity to use land vehicals for water travel.
Land Vehicles vs Water
It's time to test water on land vehicles. We're testing to see who can make a land vehicle into one for water by using it and more things.
BUT, it must include the vehicle to count.
Yes, sire. Let's go.
Rainbow gets the Bike, Applejack gets a carriage(Mare do well) and Pinkie gets...plastic wrap...okay.
Rainbow uses Buggy Boards on the front and back to make the bike float and uses a cookie sheet as a rudder.
Applejack uses a Treadmill-like way with the wheels to make it go and uses the roof as a base. The wheels are used to move the boat by making it as a Treadmill to give them synchronicity. Steering is also a cookie sheet.
Pinkie's is a Giant wire ball(Australian sport-type vehicle) with Plastic wrap around it.
Harbor
We will race these vehicles to the end and see which is best for travel on water.
3...2...1 GO!
They all go. Pinkie Pie zooms by the others. She wins and bounces around to celebrate.
After 3 minutes, Rainbow makes it and is grateful the machine works.
Applejack's makes it in 5 and is glad to make it at all.
What's the verdict?
Pinkie's is confirmed, mine is confirmed and Applejack's is also confirmed, too but is not practical.
I agree. Confirmed it is. Mine ain't practical like but is confirmed anyhow.
CONFIRMED
Next up, Green and Twilight super-size an old favorite and a hang-glider cannon?
SUPER-SIZED WATER HEATER
Bomb Range
We thought of Super-Sizing a classic Mythbuckers favorite. Time to get some water heaters.
We're having 4 Water Heaters launched and tied together so we can see if it's any different.
The 4 are tied together as their safety parts are removed. We headed to the bunker. The heaters took a while to launch but it...was.....worth it! They skyrocketed into the air as they launched over 400 feet off the ground. I laughed again and Twilight was silent. We went to the remains of the test.
WOW! That was...significant!
Confirmed and Awesome!
Confirmed!
Confirmed
Next up, A Hang-Glider Cannon?
Hang-Glider Cannon
Alameata Runway
We're here with a cannon to launch Buster in a Hang-Glider to see if he could survive a cannon blast.
Hang-Glider Launch in 3...2...1
It blast off and went straight for a minute before going straight down.
Whoa! They investigated.
Since it wasn't effected by the cannon, it's confirmed but not very safe. You could do it but it's not recommended.
Confirmed
4 confirmed myths. Very good for episode 1. But, we're not even close to finishing. Next time, Mario Madness 2, Killer Cards Super-Sized, Archimedes Death Ray Re-visit Finale and Werewolf Tests.
Color coated words is a new thing for me but it works only for a script mostly.
Comments are appreciated and desired.
Next Chapter: Episode 2 - Archimedes Death Ray Re-Visit Revenge, Killer Deck Re-visit Estimated time remaining: 5 Minutes
