Perplexing? No. Goofy? YES!
First, I smiled. Then, I laughed (especially at the "moral of the story" that summarized the author's apparant problem). An old song from a cartoon series (The SUPER SHOW? I almost forgot about those damn things!), combined with some grainy images of Mario (and live actors of Mario & Luigi), create a perfectly silly and meaningless flash. I will point, laugh and demean the idiot that goes out to "Swing his arms and do the Mario." Excellent submission overall.
Not the greatest, but gets the point across nicely
I have seen this style from Metal Maverick on several occasions, including a stealth-fest with Snake going to the store ('cause he blew some paychecks at a poker game). In each entry, the technical level is average, but the style and humor are pretty good. However, Luigi suffers from bad voice acting, augmented by awful sound. At least it's audible. Overall, it was okay. I happened to smile a bit.
When one is drained of all humor, anything beautiful is met with one of two things: disdainful worry or worrisome disdain. Anything ugly is met with violence. Flash is complex and beautiful, not a toy. Keep that in mind... or things get ugly real quick.
