This has been bugging me for a while now but in almost every game in the Mario Bros. series they have the princess being captured by Bowser or some other evil force. Don't get me wrong the games are great but the story well…sucks.

I know for a fact that Nintendo is one of the most creative gaming companies ever, so why the dull story line? Well it could be some kind of tradition or something, I don't know. Also, another thing, is the princess that helpless? I personally don't think so. If she can help Mario, Luigi and Toad defeat the evil lizard (and may I say much like Bowser) named Wart in Super Mario Bros. 2, zoom past the competition in both Mario Kart games, and bewilder Mario and the others with her puzzle solving skills in Mario Party, what makes her so vulnerable in some of the Mario Bros. Games?
You decide but I don't think we will ever know….
