Up Key to Jump Arrow Keys to Move Space to Shoot Fireballs when activated
Science Test Project! Energy conversions in Mario! 1. Pressing Up allows you to jump, which is known as GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy). Kinetic Energy is massive at the beginning of the jump, but decreases drastically, until it hits the climax, where the Potential Energy is at it's peak. Then the process reverses and the Kinetic Energy increase transcendently until hitting a solid stop. 2. Eating the Mushroom gives you the energy of growing. This, however, would not work in real life, the way it does in the game. In the game, the process is sped up extremely. It is a slower process of Chemical Energy to Mechanical. Our bodies grow from the chemicals provided by foods. 3. Chemical to Thermal. Eating the fire flower gives you ability to shoot flames from your hands. This also, however, is not a real life scenario, but is a chemical to thermal energy conversion. Fire is emitted after eating the chemicals which allows that to occur.
