Civilized weapons from two more civilized games.

Good, LEGO, good.

Flying is for droids.

Nintendo: How did this happen? We're smarter than this.
Fans: Apparently not.

Good, twice the size, double the fall.

Scalpers when they see a regular farm Luke with a slightly different face:

It's over, Kirby, I have the high ground!

You fool! I've been trained in your chambara arts by Count Dooku!

visible confusion

Master Skywalker, there's too many metaverses, what are we going to do?

No one can kill a Jedi.

Where is the stability? Is it safe? Is it alright?

"Hello there."
"It's over, Anakin, I have the high ground!"
"There's always a bigger fish."
"I don't like sand."
"It's treason then."
"He's too dangerous to be left alive!"
"Hold on. This whole operation was your idea."
"So uncivilized."
"I am the senate!"

Goodbye old friend, and may the Force be with you.

I am the Switch OLED Box.

This will make a fine addition to my collection.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Pablo the Mario Brother? I thought not. It's not a story the Toads would tell you. It's a goomba legend. Pablo the Mario Brother was Dark Lord of the Goombas, so powerful and so wise he could influence the sprixies to create...life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark side that he could keep the ones he cared about from getting stomped on. The Dark side of the Mushroom Kingdom is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be...exploits. He became so powerful the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice, Bowser, everything he knew, then his apprentice stomped on him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from getting stomped on, but not himself.

You underestimate my power!

Game Boys are built on hope.

"...and a whole lot of memes about having the high ground." I feel seen.
