Thank God I'm following you on Twitter, or else I'd never have seen this in my feed. Anyway, Another hilarious video about something I never knew existed. It kinda reminds me of Mario is Missing, but without the funky gameplay, silly world-traipsing, and meme-Luigi.
I did, a long time ago. But you know how... picky... TH-cam can be when it comes to ACTUALLY notifying people of new videos from people they're following.
"What is alchemy?" It's the science of understanding deconstructing and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange, the basis of all alchemy. In accordance with this law, there is a taboo among alchemists: human transmutation is strictly forbidden. But what could equal the value of a human soul...?
It's an archosaur with its hips structured so that its leg stick out directly underneath it....it's probably much more complex than that, but that's the general idea.
That is the happiest I have ever seen Ridley! I love to see any of those ironic artworks of the villain characters as cute and the good guys as creepily evil.
You know, I always pictured the Mushroom Kingdom as the happiest place on Earth. A place without any cares or concerns, where you can play golf even with your biggest enemies or invite them to your kart race. But the implication that the Holocaust happened in the happy-go-lucky Mario universe is simply unsettling to me.
As soon as JWittz asked "What is alchemy?", my mind went like "the science of understanding, deconstructing and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all-powerful art.

You've been working on your delivery and editing haven't you? Your content has always been witty, informative, fun (I could go on), but particularly this episode and the F-Zero episode have a different kind of flavour. A more comedic change of pace. All this to say, great work, and I hope you're having as much fun making these as we are watching.
4:25 Well, obviously not all countries, but Australia has some time zones that are 1.5 hours ahead of the others. And certain countries follow DST at different times of the year. So it's not as far out as one would think. ~ TDG
I can't believe this video is three years old, I've been wondering about this product since I was three. I have ZERO idea what happened to it, but I do recall having too many cards for the box made to store them.
That was an experience!!! Also, as big dinosaur person, it is so refreshing to hear someone realize that not every ancient reptile was a dinosaur. Curse you toys!!!! I must admit, some of the topics they had on these cards were, wow! The 90's were awesome: they wouldn't let kids know about any of that today...
This and the Pokemon board games are the best kind of content you've ever made, Jwittz. I really love the obscure Nintendo stuff like this, and it really seems to get you excited to talk. Keep it up.
The "which dinosaur could fly" card is strange because on one hand it's really clever and correctly teaches kids that pterodactyls aren't dinosaurs, but on the other hand the idea that no dinosaurs could fly is outdated now considering the closer links between birds and dinosaurs discovered over the years
rattyeely Fun fact: this means the one of the fastest living animals to ever live on earth is a Dinosaur that can fly, whose main food source is other dinosaurs that can also fly
At best they are a close relative but not an actual dinosaur since they contradict at least several things about reptiles like being warm blooded an d having a four chambered heart.
Holy crap I remember those! I used to trace the pictures of Mario in various poses and outfits onto paper to make my own scenarios. I vividly remember one that showed Mario in medieval armor kneeling before Peach, it was my favorite card because I just liked how Mario in armor looked. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Omg! I don't even remember how I came into possession of these quiz cards as a kid, but just enjoyed looking through the artwork n trivia now and then xD
What's funny is that technically there *ARE* flying dinosaurs, although that could just be the fact that we didn't really know birds were theropods until later on.
Birds are not dinosaurs are they related to them in some ways yes but since they contradict what is a reptile like being warm blooded and having a four chambered heart at best birds as a close relative but not close enough to be an actual dinosaur.
My sister had all the Horrible History cards back in the day. you had a starter pack then with every magazine you bought you got more cards but never the same ones as the ones you already had, so was really easy to complete the set. after the first couple of issues, the shop would stop selling them and you had to get them via subscription/ order online. around the time my sister moved out, my dad auctioned of the collection on eBay, and it gathered a huge interest. the winner was some guy from Germany who bid over £300 for the set. WOW!
Wow! I was gonna call out that "flying dinosaur" one as a trick question since pterodactyls aren't actually dinosaurs, but the game beat me to it! I am legitimately surprised that something from the nineties got that one right, because even today that doesn't seem to be very common knowledge.
Pterosaurs are a complete separate group from Dinosaurs. Same for Mosasaurus or Pleisosaurus. Pterosaurs could fly, but they were not a dinosaur, but related. Some dinosaurs could glide, such as Microraptor or Archaeopteryx, but these days, when someone says the word dinosaur, it either means bird or the dinosaurs. The correct question should be What non-avian dinosaur flies?
Paleozoic Productions At most birds are a close relative of dinosaurs but not close enough to be actual dinosaurs because they are warm blooded and have a four chamber heart which contradicts what a reptile is.
I opened TH-cam and scrolled down thinking "nothing special" about every video. Then I saw this and thought "These cards are going to be interestingly weird and dumb, aren't they." And what do you know, it was.
"Really-nervous-looking-Government Mario" was a real thing... kinda. A commercial for Super Mario All-Stars jokes that you can see "Mario negotiating an arms deal!"
JOSH! As a kid, I owned Mario is Missing, but 6 or 7 year old me wasn't old enough to read and understand the game (nor did I think a MARIO game would be like that as a kid). I would LOVE IT if you do a video where you a little more in depth on it. Been a fan for a long time, and I vicariously play Pokemon through your channel! Keep up the good work.
Clearly, you don't have kids watching "Dinosaur Train" on PBS. This show follows an entire family of pterodactyls, and they have entire episodes dedicated to beating the fact that pterodactyls are NOT actual dinosaurs into your head, despite the fact that the title and entire premise of the show is about learning about dinosaurs who ride on trains for no apparent reason.
And somehow this show about talking dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles that live at exactly the same time is STILL somehow more scientifically accurate than a lot of the professional documentaries....which is amazing.
I’m guessing DLC in the 90s was Delivered Licensed Content.
fair point
Make really obscure secrets and show the way to get them in magazine.

2:12 President Mario getting exposed for nuking the Koopa Kingdom without warning or provocation
Tarlo The Boar this is what caused the great koopa wat seen in the Mario brothers cartoon where we see the great George Washingtoad
A.K.A The True Mario Canon! Not that Matpat Crap.
Meanwhile the plumber is sitting right next to King K Rool.
#DrainThePipe
i mean kidnapping the leader of your opposing nation for well over 25 years is kinda grounds for retaliation...not sure about the nukes tho
I'd love to see an episode where you and another person actually use these to test your knowledge.
Mario goes to Church
*Coming to Nintendo Switch*
And the DLC, Mario goes to the synagogue and Mario goes to the mosque
...I think I'll stick with Kirby Does His Taxes.
He already did in Odyssey
I'll stick with the Tax Fraud.
EvilApple567 That was a *church like* building it's not an actual church the wedding hall is where at least some people in the world of the mushroom kingdom go to get married
Thank you for this enlightenment Jwittz
Now I know what a sweatshop is!
bo jackson and the entire video
My headcanon for that final image is that Peach grows her own subjects to be undyingly loyal to her and that's what toads are.
These were outstanding. Thanks for sharing!
I can see through my jugular.
Thank God I'm following you on Twitter, or else I'd never have seen this in my feed.
Anyway, Another hilarious video about something I never knew existed. It kinda reminds me of Mario is Missing, but without the funky gameplay, silly world-traipsing, and meme-Luigi.
why dont u hit the bell and get in the notification squad?

Thank you so much
FinalFantasyIXMaster "Again" by Yui starts playing.
I'M SO GLAD I WASN'T ALONE WITH HAVING THIS IN MY HEAD IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEARING THE WORD "ALCHEMY"
Maybe those little thin mushroms are baby Toads o3o
Or magic mushrooms judging by Peach's face...
Look like Super Mishrooms that haven't finished growing if you ask me.
Will this be on the exam?
None of this will be on the exam. The exam will only have questions about topics you have never heard before in your life.
As expected
Will there be extra credit?
The Marioguy25 no
I haven't even watched the full video, but that third question makes me want a set of cards for my future kids
5:14 You know, that's actually true. Pterodactyls were not dinosaurs.
But then, what IS a dinosaur exactly? GOOGLE TIME!!!
It's an archosaur with its hips structured so that its leg stick out directly underneath it....it's probably much more complex than that, but that's the general idea.
It's true, but also completely false, because dinosaurs CAN fly.
We call them birds.
Dinosaurs and pterosaurs were both archosaurs.
Plesiosaurs are also not dinosaurs
As a dinosaur meganerd, the point at 4:55 gave me joy
Yup, too many normies still think all ancient reptiles are Dinosaurs
I don't care what Mario says, they will still be dinosaurs to me
what about birds and yi qi
Max Benjamin
Except the card was wrong and there were other cards that were wrong as well.
Tim Lindekilde
They were and are. By definition Dinosaur means large reptile. Its sad that people dont know that.
4:51 (Gasp) It's Ridley!
Ridley confirmed for Smash 5
Noooo! He’s too big! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
He's grateful to finally be invited.
Ridley is a dinosaur from our imaginaaatiooon...
That is the happiest I have ever seen Ridley!
I love to see any of those ironic artworks of the villain characters as cute and the good guys as creepily evil.
I am all for this becoming the first part in a series of more of these hilarious cards.
What’s wrong about learning about the mistakes of a country under a facist regime, and historical facts about landmark dates in international history?
ikr
Nothing at all! It's just an unexpected place to see the (normally heavily censored) Mario Bros.
Luigi's face is what sells it.
wonder if these cards were in germany??? and if they got censored
You know, I always pictured the Mushroom Kingdom as the happiest place on Earth. A place without any cares or concerns, where you can play golf even with your biggest enemies or invite them to your kart race. But the implication that the Holocaust happened in the happy-go-lucky Mario universe is simply unsettling to me.
I absolutely love these new videos of yours. It's like chronicling a slow descent into madness the deeper you go into Nintendo.
They may have displayed Mario & the gang in a lot of ways here, but how could they possibly forget the best Mario?
*vietnam*
*war soldier*
Mario's *DANK* history lessons.

Lucas Blucas When anyone ask what is alchemy , give the FMA definition
Well, according to some, it’s Litoism..., so take your pick.
Mario has not only traveled the whole world, but knows about the traditions of every religion as well
Which leads to one thing, HALAL MARIO IS REAL
A crossover between Mario and Fullmetal Alchemist is something I never knew I needed.

Luigi, is there something you're not telling us?
These seem pretty neat. I'd just buy them for the art!
I remember I actually had them
This is like the best video I've ever seen in a long while. I just couldn't stop laughing from those Mario Quiz Cards. Now I want them. XD
Reminds me a lot of the old Choose your own adventure books they did with Mario. I'd love to see you cover those if possible!

I freaking LOVE and WANT these!!
that's honestly awsome
1:02 But little goomba is taller than regular goomba.
They hadn't come up with the "Galoomba" name yet.
Personally, I think they should have called the SMW Goomba "Round Goomba."
Little Goomba had a spurt like Tiny Kong did.
And he stuck to his ironic nickname.
And then there's Chunky
He's dead.
The parakoopa is called a paragoomba and no one seems to care
Basilgames X oh wow your right, I guess I just processed it in my mind as saying koopa instead of goomba
I remember these! I loved the little Mario cartoons on each one.
2:11 *”Mario negotiating an arms deal Mario. Okay maybe not.”*
Omg! I don't even remember how I came into possession of these quiz cards as a kid, but just enjoyed looking through the artwork n trivia now and then xD
I like it when you show us cool nintendo and specifically Pokemon stuff
Nothing caps out a Jwittz video like one of his classic freakouts.
The ending absolutely got me cracking up! This video is amazing
I had this whole collection of cards! This box brings me back. Waaaaay back.

No, see this is why the term “non-avian dinosaur” exist because birds *have been dinosaurs the whole time!*

@@Mario87456
May I ask what kind of paleontological/taxonomical credentials do you have?
sion8 I don't need to have those to know this thank you very much
Love jwittz videos
I remember seeing these all over Twitter, ESPECIALLY 0:27
3:26 Nah Mario's looking in like he's super confused and trying to figure out what's going on.
That card set needed some Waluigi to complete the dankness.
Otacon464 Imagine the TH-cam profile pictures we could of had from that though.
you should totally become a teacher!
love this new format
Alchemist Mario? Now all he has to do is lose his arm and leg.
You want Luigi to completely lose his body?!
Would that make Peach May?
Nitro Indigo Toadette can be May Chang she's got the height and the braids.
Does that mean Toadette is Luigi's girlfriend?

4:57 Although heavily outdated (given the nature of these cards), that Spinosaurus art looks really nice.
I love the abrupt ending to this video. Great stuff.
I love your videos, JWittz! I am glad that you are making more!
I love how you continue to find weird nintendo things to share with us
I love these. I would get a pack and hang up my favorite cards around my work desk for inspiration
Keep up these types of videos. I don’t know if this counts as fact of the day but I still love it
I had no idea these were a thing. Thanks for the awesome video JWittz
Oh my god, I had these and I didn't remember them in the least until you showed one. What a nostalgia rush.

Everything in there is gold
I wish I still had these. Some of the few video game ephemera I sold off when I was younger.
I now know so much thank you JWittz
Man, you've helped me learn about so many amazing things from before my time. If you're still reading comments, I appreciate your videos a bunch!
I remember reading these in my 3rd grade classroom. Amazing.
Woo! The Wittz is back!
These are hilarious. We Need to see more
I remember these. It’s making me wonder if I had these, or if I just had other quiz cards by the same company.
i've never seen these things omg
thank you for that educational video!
We need more!
0:24 Didn't expect a Mario quiz card to bring that up.
Revisit these one day! I need more of this in my life.
2:29 It's always the eyes. The only thing that can make anything five times more terrifying is a soul piercing gaze.
I really really really want those cards!!! You have some cool merchandise.
Part 2 please this was fun
My soul desire to someday see a video on these cards, has been quenched. Thank you Master Sakurai.
Keep up the great work!! Love these random topic videos!
I love your videos and wish you uploaded more often. Keep up the great work
We needed a sequel to this video
omg that dinosaur fact just blew my mind

You mention art and you actually look just like my Art Appreciation college professor!
I actually learned a thing or two, thanks professor JWittz!

Oh my god I thought I was the only one who remembered these. I still have these, almost a full set.
I actually saw a set of these cards at a Savers once, I was surprised by it.
These were so cute and funny!!! Thanks for sharing them!!
