On this episode of Mythbuckers, Green & Twilight go Veggie as they test more methods of Mario Power Madness. Then, the classic myth, Archimedes Death Ray gets super-sized. Next, Killer Deck gets a magical re-visit. Then, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie tackle if Duct Tape parachutes can exist.

Who are the Mythbuckers?

Green"I reject your reality and substitute my own," and Twilight Sparkle"Quack Damn you!"

Together with Rainbow Dash,

Applejack and

Pinkie Pie,

They don't just tell the myths, They put them to the Test.

Super Mario Madness 2

So what have we got?

We're tackling more Super Mario Weapons...starting with veggies.

I always knew they were evil.

In Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES, Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad worked to stop Wart from taking over. They used vegetables to stop him.

There's not much we have to do. I already have an idea to use magic to hurl veggies at a Wart cutout.

Okay.

Bomb Range

*Camera talk*We're testing the myth of vegetables being used as weapons. We got help from Applejack to test these myths. We've paid for the veggies and are gonna put the Wart cutout into a wide bowl so we can have a salad when we finish.

*Camera Talk*Though the bowl was a nice touch, I doubt serious damage will be inflicted but magic is mysterious like that. It's unclear now but who knows.

First up, an apple family favorite, an apple.

This is apple hurl using magic in 3...2...1.... BONK.

Nothing.

We tried an apple. Definitely not heavy enough. Let's try a Cantaloupe. *Camera* Though the myth is for veggies, we are also using fruit in case of absence of anything in one weight.

Next is Cantaloupe.

Cantaloupe hurl using magic in 3....2....1...POW!

Wow.

Damage is now clear.

A decapitation. Not bad. But, were not done are we?

Right-o. Last is a Watermelon.

Finally, a Watermelon.

This is Watermelon hurl with magic in 3...2...1...SPLAT!

Significant damage. The body and whole head are clean off.

He's not coming out of that. This one is confirmed.

Confirmed!

Confirmed

Killer Deck Re-Visit

So. Killer Deck again, huh?

Yes. We have been requested to go back and redo this myth with bigger scale to see if cards can ever be lethal.

Okay.

Bomb Range

*camera* Killer Deck was tested before, but now, it will be rammed up to the extreme using a pig blood filled bolistics gel dummy. We will have many unicorns hurl the cards at the dummy proving once and for all if the myth is true.

Many loyal volunteers, protected by safety suits, will be part of the myth.

This is Killer Deck Revisit in 3...2...1 SLASH! It spews blood everywhere!

We have blood.

Wow!

Very...bloody...indeed.

Time to inspect.

Much more.....damage than before. I'd say Confirmed.

Confirmed!

Confirmed

Next up, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie test Duct Tape Parachutes and a revisit.

Archimedes Death Ray 4

So, it's finally time. After 9 seasons, this myth will end here and now.

Which is it?

Archimedes Death Ray.

...whoa.

This myth has been busted 3 times but has gotten a 4th wind by a request. So, what will it take?

I already know how to do it.

That quick? What is it?

The Princess will help us by focusing the beams of sunlight at a ship on a lake. If this works, it will be confirmed.

Wow. Let's go.

Quarry

*Camera* The fact the sun princess is helping is enough to call it. But, I won't be satisfied until Combustion is scene with these eyes.

*camera* It seems...too simple if you ask me. Though I have faith in my teacher, I doubt it a little.

So, Now to test it.

This is Archimedes Death Ray 4 in 3....2....1.

Fwoosh!

We have fire.

WOW! I didn't see that one coming.

.....................................Whoa.

Time to inspect.

That clinches it. Confirmed.

Indeed. Wonder what else is combustible.

Confirmed

Duct Tape Parachute

What's the myth?

We are seeing if we can make a Duct Tape Parachute.

That's...ballsy.

I love it.

Duct Tape. A Mythbuckers Classic. Time to push it further beyond.

It's obvious what we need to do. First, we make it. Then, We'll push it out of an airplane.

Simple. I love it.

M7

*camera* In order to test the myth, we'll need a parachute to compare.

Here it is.

Very big. Well....let's get started.

*camera*We've decided to measure it and make a copy from Duct Tape.

Done. Now to test.

Quarry

*camera*We've decided to test a regular parachute and the Duct Tape one.

It was raised into a Helicopter.

Parachute in 3...2...1.

Fwop.

Deployed.

All right. Now for Duct Tape.

*camera*For this myth to be confirmed, the parachute has to deploy as well as the regular one.

Duct Tape Parachute in 3...2....1.

Fwop.

It's pretty clear how it turned out. Confirmed.

Agreed.

Confirmed
