It's similar to how in Zelda an entire temple flip flops if you shoot the eyeAny evidence for this being a chain reaction.

I get what you're trying to say, but that's a prime example of AP=/=Destruction Capacity, not every attack needs to have huge explosions or giant destruction behind it.they tanked a point-blank cosmic explosion like nothing and safely returned home, when minutes earlier a random missile shot by Brobot would have caused way more damage to them.
I know, but I still think that it's more likely that something else happened instead of believe that a small explosion from a bomb or a rock that drops on your head have enough energy to obliterate millions of stars concentrated in a half-metre rangeI get what you're trying to say, but that's a prime example of AP=/=Destruction Capacity, not every attack needs to have huge explosions or giant destruction behind it.
Bad example, it's just most of the time she's so durable that they do zero damage (and it's not just game play mechanics, we see her tank them in S&J iirc) and in Fusion, at her absolute weakest, she ends up taking a power bomb from the SA-X in a scripted sequence, it does the minimum amount of damage even though she's super weak comparatively to the point she's helpless and can be like one or two shot by it's beam at that point.You know, it's like how Samus can't be affected by her power bombs
I'm definitely more likely to believe that instead of scaling all of them over that small and isolated thing.
That's kind of just how scaling works. I'm pretty sure a lot of people feel odd about a random robot that gets hurt by bad words as 3-A, but it doesn't stop the fact he has the feats to support his scaling.I agree with you that most of the times these things are game mechanics or just things made for the sake of the game, but what I don't like is the snowball effect that comes from accepting the thing.
Mario is unscated by Brobot wiping out thousands of solar systems > Brobot and others things can harm Mario > All of them are now superior to that explosion.
I mean, I know that the word is hated, but couldn't it really be an outlier or another case of mechanics/inconsistent thing?
I'm definitely more likely to believe that instead of scaling all of them over that small and isolated thing. (I'm not even convinced that it actually destroyed a 4-A structure, but this doesn't matter)
I mean this is something we do with every franchise. If it fits inside of the continuity/canon, using comparisons to other past and future feats are completely fair game. It's kind of necessary too when Mario's profile covers his appearances in all of these canon games.I'm also iffy on used stuff from other games to judge this feat coninstent or not , but I don't really have clear-cut arguments on my side
Yeah, I didn't remember the name of the place (I played SPM more than 10 years ago :v), and I was too lazy to check the name of the place.They didn't warp back to Earth; the warped back to The Whoa Zone. A location on the edge of Daiuchū.
I think your issue is that you can’t believe the random monsters are capable of surviving 4-A feats and causing harm to those that have survived it. Cool, as I can’t believe things like Cell Jr.’s or random Mechs from other franchises are capable of destroying a mountain or surviving the destruction of one on 1st glance.but I still hardly believe that, because throughout the game (before and after) Mario and co. are constantly harmed by generic stuff and random creatures
It's a bit different, at least for me, but you surely have a pointI think your issue is that you can’t believe the random monsters are capable of surviving 4-A feats and causing harm to those that have survived it.

Perception and facts don’t like each other.
Yeah, we should probably settle which interpretation of the SM64 feats we're using and the scalingI think it's been agreed that the Brobot destruction is at the very least a solid 4-A durability feat, the next topic on the list I believe is the Super Mario 64 dimensions. But I only got 15 minutes before work; Maverick may update the OP. If more arguments get brought up, I might be able to come back afterwards.
Technically it applies to Bowser and Peach as wellSo Mario and Mr. L have a 4-A durability feat.
This is why I'm against using the speed featKart and Party is kind of weird for scaling. Since fodders are playable, we only really scale it in a way that makes sense. Bowser basically in every Mario Party game is shown to basically crush the players or harm them. King Boo does the same in one of the boss mini-games iirc. I was planning on maybe doing a Mario Party thread, but that will take a lot of time.
