how come when luigi uses his plunger
grab he actually gets less range if you
use an item that slows down time just
look at this side by side same distance
and everything or why is it that only
some projectiles rotate around the
planet in the mario galaxy stage while
others don't so like only some objects
get affected by the planet's gravity now
welcome back to the series where we look
at video game logic in a dead serious
manner smash bros can have some very odd
interactions in it so here are 30 things
in smash bros ultimate that don't make
sense how is jigglypuff able to put
anyone asleep from singing her song even
robots like mega man or rob fall asleep
somehow from this melody but weirdest of
all even another jigglypuff falls asleep
from the same song that she herself
sings but now when that same song is
sung back to her she falls asleep what
dictates whether a character can wall
jump or not like both toon link and
young link can wall jump but then breath
of the wild link can't when breath of
the wild is a game completely based
around climbing on walls and jumping off
of them or then there's villager who
throughout the entire animal crossing
series could never jump but in smash
he's just a natural wall jumper how is
it that both squirtle and greninja can
drown in water these are both water type
pokemon literally where they live and
hang out is in the water but now they
can barely even swim for like five
seconds before drowning pichu hurts
himself when he uses his electric moves
cause he can't control them or whatever
but then how come his electric taunts
don't hurt him at all his taunts look
probably the most painful too look how
hard he's trying and then his side b
move skull bash doesn't even use
electricity if you don't hit anyone yet
this move still hurts you what's with
the racers in the big blue stage i mean
i thought this was a race yet they're
all just behind each other in a single
file line no one is even attempting to
pass like what a boring race to watch
even in the other f-zero stages the
racers are acting normal but here
they're just being polite or something
how come this mario stage has the name
mushroom kingdom 2 when the stage itself
doesn't even take place in the mushroom
kingdom yeah you're actually in the
world of subcon which was the setting of
mario 2. so this stage has nothing to do
with the mushroom kingdom alright now
it's time to get the big one out of the
way why do all these typically friendly
nintendo characters suddenly have the
urge to fight each other now even though
they're friends it makes sense sometimes
if like mario is fighting bowser but
then in the next match you could have
mario fighting peach like what mario
you're beating your wife what's gotten
into you and also why do all these
characters even want to be invited to
smash brothers which seems like an
underground fight club of sorts little
mack i could see being excited from
getting the invitation because he's a
boxer but then you have villager who's
never fought in his life yet is as happy
as ever do all these nintendo characters
have like built up anger inside that
they're just waiting to let out what's
with the mega and mini mushrooms in this
game how come it affects both characters
in a duo like banjo-kazooie or duck hunt
there's only one mushroom yet both
characters grow or shrink then there's
pokemon trainer that has all three of
the pokemon grow when only one of them
eats it they're not even close either in
fact they're still in the pokeball but
then for the ice climbers the mushroom
only affects one of them so where is the
consistency with these things the
weights of the characters in this game
mostly make sense but there are some odd
ones like how does sephiroth this big
buff guy weigh just as much as kirby
this tiny puffball made of air
presumably or how is mewtwo this giant
pokemon way less than this tiny monkey
another weird one is metta ridley this
giant metal dragon that weighs less than
terry who's just some strong dude with
big arms how are the characters with
full bodysuits able to eat the food in
this game i'm talking about people like
samus meta knight or even olimar and
then there's rob he doesn't even have a
mouth at all so i have no idea where he
puts the food he just shoves it in his
face ever notice that the fire escape in
the tomodachi life stage doesn't connect
to any doors oh you didn't notice
because you don't look at video games in
a literal manner okay fair point but i
noticed it literally has no purpose
because no one can get to it it even
looks like it leads somewhere here but
nope just a wall just take a look at
sephiroth's final smash here how does
anything just anything survive after
this not only just the characters he's
using it on but the stage two or even
the universe the guy explodes the planet
you're on which even causes other
planets to explode too and yet when it's
done your opponents just fall asleep
like they couldn't care less how are the
characters able to carry around these
massive objects with them and pull them
out of nowhere ganondorf can just
randomly pull out like a giant sword or
king ddd has these huge spike balls with
him at all times but weirdest of all is
simon and richter all this stuff they
throw like axes crosses or holy water
they seem to have an unlimited amount of
it so where do they keep it all while
running around and fighting when you use
a pokeball and goldeen comes out this
pokemon will simply just do nothing and
splash around but why would they choose
goldeen for the role when the pokemon
magikarp is literally known for
splashing around and doing nothing i
honestly think they got goldeen and
magikarp mixed up because goldeen
doesn't even learn splash how come all
the character sizes are messed up here
ridley is this massive dragon who dwarfs
any normal person but in smash he's just
as tall as like an average joe or
there's olimar who's a quarter of the
size of a wii disk yet he's huge in
smash you know i think i've found the
answer to this one actually and that is
they're loading up the fighters with
mega or mini mushrooms before they come
to smash bros how does the star fox
squad use their final smashes in stages
that are deep underground like the
metroid stages for example you're
supposed to be in the depths of a planet
yet all these spaceships swoop way down
here and bring the characters up to
outer space and then just bring him back
down to the depths after samus herself
can even fly her ship way down here too
so if she can do that then the metroid
games would be a lot quicker how can
peach pull out a turnip from any surface
even from like steel spaceships or
surfaces that are so thin you couldn't
possibly fit a turnip here but yet she
uses some sort of witchcraft to make
these veggies appear and along those
same lines how is olimar able to pull
out pikmin from any surface as well
pikmin are living creatures this time
yet olimar just finds them in like a
giant dragon that's flying around or in
icebergs somehow these pikmin are really
digging around in any surface now how do
the characters rotate themselves around
spiral mountain in the banjo-kazooie
stage it's just the camera moving not
the mountain yet the characters seem to
be rotating around at the same pace as
the camera itself they don't even seem
to be moving their feet or they can even
do it while lying down or even while
asleep now that is very remarkable ever
notice how weird some of the places that
you fight on actually are some are
pretty fitting like these big stadiums
or boxing rings but then in others
you'll just be fighting on random
rooftops so like do the people living
here ever wonder what all the racket is
about or this one where you literally go
through people's apartments to fight and
they just stand there and smile at you
or what about in the middle of race
tracks do the racers not get annoyed
that you're ruining their sport but
besides the weird stages what about the
deadly ones like why is everyone so
focused on fighting each other when
there looks to be some sort of war going
on in the background or in this place
with rising lava why are you guys even
down here or how about when a bunch of
pokemon just come in and try to burn you
like come on let's stop fighting each
other and fight the pokemon instead how
come fox is so massive when he's
standing on his own ship he is literally
bigger than the cockpit that he drives
in like this is seriously supposed to be
the great fox starship
it's like he's standing on a toy in the
stages that don't have a pit on the
sides and just have a walk off how does
simply walking away kill you it's like
as soon as you leave the camera they're
done with you and someone kills ya you
can even tilt the camera and see there's
not like a pit or something yet you
still die if you walk too far in the
wrong area a bit of backstory for this
one just take a look at this picture for
a sec it's a render from the year 2000
now tell me if you had to predict who
would eventually make it into smash from
this photo alone would you ever guess
that the piranha plant beat waluigi yeah
that's really it for this one how is
waluigi still not in smash yet a piranha
plant is in bowser jr's final smash he
transforms into shadow mario just like
he does in mario sunshine and that's a
cool reference but then why do all the
koopalings also turn into shadow mario
when they've never been able to do that
and are not even in mario sunshine like
what the heck guys is transforming into
mario just a common thing all bowser's
kids can do now how come the inklings
can turn into a squid and swim around
anywhere when normally they would have
to be in some ink to do that i mean now
they're literally swimming in solid
surfaces which makes even less sense how
can characters get buried in any surface
on any stage even things like metal
leaves or a living flying dragon thing
and then even dirt comes out of these
surfaces too which is even more strange
tell me some more things that don't make
sense to you in the comments and i'll
see you next time
