The coin and mushroom question mark boxes actually had been rigged to make their respective sounds when you jumped up hit them with your head.
Can anyone say *da-ding!* and also *dudalah-dudalah-dudalah!* ?!?
This guy definitely outdid my Luigi... Granted, he was part of the team and knew about the whole thing beforehand, unlike yours truly, who gleefully happened upon the exhibit/survey/experiment just before class.
I had been planning on taking the stairs back down, but of course took the pipe when I realized that was an option.
After completing a survey they were offering, one of the Marios asked if I wanted to be tested on Nintendo characters. Of course I did! I didn't get them all right, but scored better than anyone else she had tested so far. She was surprised that I got Lakitu (?). To the best of my ability, here are the characters that were quizzed. The 8-bit image was shown, and then I had to guess the exact name. Princess Peach (or Princess Toadstool), Bowzer, Lakitu, one of the Hammer Bros., Blooper (they actually had it as Bloop , i think), Koopa Troopa, Koopa Paratroopa, Cheep-Cheep, Luigi, Mario, Toad, a Goomba, Buzzy Beetle, a Piranha Plant, and Spinny (I contest this one, I said "Spiny", and she marked me wrong :( perhaps she was right though :( ).
I also got some sweet buttons and a few stickers, so let me know if you want some swag and i'll try to send some your way.
