So growing up I was pretty big into Nintendo

所以小時後我相當迷任天堂

but then again who wasn't.

但誰不是呢？

I mean Mario and Zelda.

我的意思是馬里奧和塞爾達，

Classic.

經典！

And as time went on,

而隨著時間的流逝，

games became more sophisticated

遊戲變得更複雜，

but so did the players and because of that

但玩家也是。

some people began to wonder whether or not

於是因此，有些人開始懷疑是否我們曾經以為簡單的遊戲實際上背後有隱藏的意義。

the games that we once thought were straightforward

Number one is Super Mario Bros. is a play.

This theory says that Super Mario Bros. 3

該理論認為，超級馬里奧兄弟3

was all a stage play and that we are the audience.

並在多個級別，磚塊被栓固成背景，

blocks appear to be bolted to a backdrop

並在多個級別，磚塊被栓固成背景，

and then at the end of every level,

然後在每一級的結尾，

Mario exits stage right.

馬里奧退出舞台右邊。

This suggests that Mario and his friends are just actors

which makes a lot of sense

這很有道理，

considering the lack of continuity between games

考慮到遊戲之間缺乏連續性，

and the fact that there's a Lakitu

而且有一個Lakitu

that follows you around with a camera

在超級馬里奧64和每個版本的馬里奧賽車裡都帶著個相機到處跟著你。

during Super Mario 64 and every version of Mario Kart.

在超級馬里奧64和每個版本的馬里奧賽車裡都帶著個相機到處跟著你。

Wait a minute.

then did I ever really play it?

is actually a fetus.

And since you have to kill him,

而且因為你必須要殺死他，

well you can kind of put two and two together

你可以算算二加二

about what's going on here.

然後想像在發生什麼。

Unfortunately this makes a lot of sense

不幸的是這很有道理，

because in order to face him,

因位為了面對他，

you have to go back in time to his most vulnerable form

你要倒回時間，到他最脆弱的時刻

and then in order to get to him,

然後為了贏他，

you have to go through an opening

你必須要經過一個看起來像一個子宮頸的開口。

that looks like a cervix.

As if that wasn't disturbing enough,

Can you see it?

你能看見它嗎？

I'll give you a second.

How about now?

Yeah.

是吧。

Now believe it or not,

現在你信或不信，

there's actually an even darker theory out there
