Today's TeeFury shirt: Mario back in his younger, more slender days


I never stopped to ponder this, but where exactly is Donkey Kong supposed to take place? Obviously barreling takes place there, or at least the gathering of barrels. But then there's the whole slanted floor thing -- is that intended for the ease of rolling barrels from top to bottom? Wouldn't there be a high smash rate? Ponder these questions while you're wearing your awesome new shirt.

Isn't it relevant to your query that Donkey Kong stomps the floors into slanty goodness after he climbs to the top?

Well, isn't it?

Okay, so what you're saying is that it's a storage facility for barrels that's narrow, six stories tall, and with no way of transporting barrels from floor to floor except up ladders?

Yes, that's a much more sensibly designed workspace than the one I had in mind.
