    “True understanding of Mario 3 stems from pursuit of the samurai ideal. Do not attempt to anticipate the red koopa’s movements—cultivate zanshin, and strike accordingly. The use of a tanooki suit is never wrong, because these are living things, too, and when faced with battle, must one day die.

    Thus activate your hammer suit without fear, for nothing done in service of your Princess can be said to be a waste.”
