check that again. The lowest g on the list is 4.4. Earth&#039;s gravity is 1g.</description>

		<description>@dbus:

Too much pasta?  Let&#039;s not beat around the &quot;stereotype&quot; bush anymore.  Mario and Luigi are your typical overweight goomba mafiosos.  They became famous by kicking the sh!t out of innocent mushrooms and turtles all while stealing their coins.  Put the two guidos in prison and shut down their plumbing business they&#039;ve been using as a front.</description>

		<description>@Jennings:

Not quite, because in the one game where you can&#039;t just jump on the creatures to kill them (in SMB 2 you have to jump on them, pick them up, and then throw them), g is highest.  This is counterintuitive because the highest g would also mean the highest force on impact.  Plus in the later games it looks like g is lower than g on earth.

However we can still attribute Mario&#039;s deadliness to his unbelievable jumping skills and his weight.</description>
