It's something, but sometimes nothing really IS better than something. In something like Mario, it's part of the FUN that there's NO explanation whatsoever for some things. It's part of that magic. To be forced to come up with an explanation, even if you only have to come up with a half arsed one, kills some of that magic.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
