Almost every knows that Super Mario Bros was a platform game published on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. What people don't know is that this game was an allegory for the spiritual battle between the reptilian race and humans, aided by the psychotropic plants of wisdom.

First let's begin with Mario; he is your average everyman; a lower-middle class worker who isn't a super hero by any stretch, yet he is able to overcome his foes with tremendous resolve. He represents you.

Next we are faced with Mario's foes; the Koopa. The Koopa are a reptilian race lead by a Draconic/Satanic master known as Bowser, the King of Koopas. This should speak for itself.

Mario is not alone is his psychic battle against the Koopa, however, as an array of psychedelic tools are at his disposal. First we encounter the psilocybin mushroom, which has been documented to make those under its effects feel larger or smaller in size. In the case of Super Mario Bros, this is not only the case but also a metaphor for spiritual growth that lends strength.

Next up in his arsenal is the fiery cannabis flower, which lets him speak words of fire against his foes. Lastly, the star represents LSD, which makes him totally aware of his full potential, thus rendering him invincible.
