Inside every NES Control Deck, you see, there's a tiny magic princess who makes sure that the characters all stay in their respective games. Lana is actually a distant cousin of the tiny elf that turns the refrigerator light on and off.

It's also worth pointing out that inside every control pad is a tiny disco where pixies yell down the wire what buttons you're pressing. The later wireless controllers were made possible by genetically engineering louder pixies.

As you see, the formidable Mother Brain has enlisted the ruthless cunning of King Hippo, the purpleness of Eggplant Wizard, the hairiness of whoever that is in the upper left panel, and the untamed fury of Donkey Kong after catching someone peeping in on his shower. Would it have been that hard to recruit Dr. Wily?
