This isn't the Kirby thread I previously announced, but this has to be said prior to that.
Donkey Kong punching a country-sized moon into a tower? High-end outlier.
"He defeats Fredrik, who uses the horn he froze Donkey Kong Island with in the battle, and the walrus not using the horn's full power with lower AOE against the ape doesn't make sense."
- Well, that's still what happens, as PIS for the villain, plot armor for the hero, or both.
- Seriously, the strong (for a Nintendo/HAL character) Donkey is injured after hitting his hand on that moon, yet in the same kind of cutscene, the weaker Diddy is uninjured after hitting his head on it.
This is just an example of "high-end feats" being actually low-end misinterpreted ones or high-end outliers; and on the other hand…
1) Mario
He suffers from a hand pain for the rest of each day he breaks blocks with his fist and Luigi from a headache for the rest of each day he breaks them with his head.
"The last two paragraphs just tell a joke."
The fourth one reads: "Unfortunately, his [Mario's] brother did not learn from his example."
2) Link
TP and SS Links' tunics feature chainmail and BotW Link wears clothes tougher than regular ones.
"Other Links don't need any kind of armor."
OoT Link actually does, so either the others do too or the hazards' levels in their games are decreased by artistic license.
3) Samus
- The SA-X, which mimics her at full power, needs a Power Bomb to destroy a wall made of weakened Bendezium or Denzium.
- For reference, Sandstone, which is the real-world rock, and Talloric Alloy can be destroyed by regular bombs if weakened.
4) Pikachu
- Neither it nor other organic Pokémon bleed by being hit by cutting attacks because Tajiri has never wanted violent content for the series.
- Seriously, the steel type, of which the mouse's Iron Tail is, consists in literal steel moves, and that one is stated to make its tail steel-hard.
This isn't only about these verses; canon in fiction is determined by general content.
Sincerely, a guy who grew up playing and loving Nintendo/HAL games.
