  • All toasters toast BREAD. Trying to toast toast would probably result in rather burnt toast...
    • Not quite. For example, when someone "bakes bread" they're really baking dough, not bread.
      • That's a quirk of the word "bake". We are said to bake a cake. It is a conundrum.
      • One paints a picture, although they are really painting a canvas. It's transitivity with the direct object indicating the future finished product.
    • Additionally, while the bread is in the toaster, there must be some point when it stops being bread and instead becomes toast. And unless you eject the toast precisely at this moment, then your toaster does indeed toast toast. This can be applied to all toasters. Therefore, all toasters toast toast.
    • Sliced bread is called "toast" in European countries, even before being toasted.
    • Perhaps Mario is saying that toasters are capable of toasting toast, not that they should. Toast is generally the same shape and size as a piece of bread, so any toaster that could toast bread would also be able to toast toast.
  • How did Mario know the Princess was in that castle in the clouds?
    • Well, considering the fact that the Princess was launched into the air and didn't come back down, as well as the fact that every time the bros cleared a hotel, the princess was taken to another one, it was only fair for him to assume she ended up at another hotel, in this case Lemmy's High-Ate Regency.
  • How does finding the real coins get rid of the fake ones? And why didn't Mario just take them all right there instead of letting them spread around?
  • What the hell does Bowser have a medical prescription for?
    • I mean, In Mario & Luigi + Bowser Junior's Journey, in the latter game, Bowser fell ill, sooooo...
