Protons, Neutrons, Antiprotons, Antineutrons, Electrons, and Electron Neutrinos are subatomic particles. Typically, an atom is made up of nucleus (Protons and Neutrons), with a cloud of electrons.
Protons: Positive charge, mass is ~1 amu, p+g
Neutrons: No Charge, mass is slightly greater than 1 amu, n0
Antiprotons: Negative Charge, same mass as a proton, -p
Anitneutrons: No Charge, same mass as a neutron, -n
Electrons: Negative Charge, 1/2000 amu, e-
Electron Neutrinos: No Charge, mass 10 -36, ve
Note: there are Positrons (Antielectrons), which are the opposite of electrons, but they aren’t mentioned in the comic.
The right-handed Daisy (Electron Neutrino) means that Daisy’s direction of spin is the same as the direction of motion. A left-handed Daisy (Electron Neutrino) would be to the opposite.
The title text is a pun on the title of the Nintendo 64 game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and the Majorana ferminon. It is referring to the fact that scientists cannot find an antiparticle for a neutrino, and that scientists wonder if a neutrino is its own antiparticle.

Discussion
Ah, good, I was just about to tell people (on 2872's Talk page) that there was a new one... (And that we obviously need to prod the theusafBOT.) Currently, 2872: Hydrothermal Vents doesn't have the 'Next' links to here, but (from last comic's experience) it might just be a matter of nudging its server-side cache a bit. I'll try the tricks I tried yesterday. 141.101.99.101 20:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Too bad the franchise has never introduced a Weach character (there's a couple of witches). A game with Peach as the main protagonist would be interesting, and it would give us a convenient positron. 172.71.26.135 20:56, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- If they made Weach, people would start asking for Wowser. 108.162.245.202 21:53, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Isn't that just Bowyer? 172.70.131.37 21:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- There is a Princess Peach game, Super Princess Peach. 172.68.174.237 14:06, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- We're getting another next year (Princess Peach Showtime). Maybe we'll be seeing new physics? 172.70.105.143 13:04, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
I think the mouse over text references mariokart? We know that Randall plays... 172.70.200.144 00:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Absolutely. It's directly referring to the track GCN Baby Park, found in Double Dash, MK8, and MK8DX. on the other hand, it also references The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (which is already included in the explanation) someone, i guess(talk i guess|le edit list) 02:21, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Bot should be working again. —theusaf (talk) 19:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm not that familiar with Mario or particle physics. What would the anti-Peach particle be? Bowsette? GreatWyrmGold (talk) 00:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- I'm fairly well acquainted with particle physics but not at all with anything Mario (post Donkey Kong, at least). I wish now I'd formatted my own initial explanation with unordered-list (*) or tabular format of the referenced-particles side of this parody when I first visited (141.101.99.101, 20:08, 27 December 2023) rather than the current stop-gap version, but would naturally want to have columns/continuation for the Marioland characters (of which I know too little, only that they exist and that Mario's evil 'twin' is Wario at some much later point in the franchise). Can we perhaps knock it into shape, or are too many editors on Christmas break/distracted by RL? I can still reformat it into a table, but I have less idea what the Mario columns need to leave space for than the other bits... 172.69.194.14 12:37, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Clearly, he's referencing Wapeach. --162.158.74.118 10:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I'd suggest to prefix the explanation by explaining what a "Super Nintendo" is. I had to look it up in the other wiki to figure that the SNES (which I'm only familiar with by name) actually stands for "Super Nintendo". Ralfoide (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Wow. In USA in the 90s, nobody said "SNES", they all said "Super Nintendo", and all the ads called it that too.

Far out in the reaches of Zelda we find the legendary Tom Brier rendering a Zelda theme on the piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dvF-Z7vPK0 172.71.26.127 16:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia, Electron Capture "is a process in which the proton-rich nucleus of an electrically neutral atom absorbs an inner atomic electron, usually from the K or L electron shells. This process thereby changes a nuclear proton to a neutron and simultaneously causes the emission of an electron neutrino." Does this mean Bowser is an unstable amalgamation of Marios and Luigis? Maybe all of the Marios And Luigis that failed to reach the castle become part of Bowser. And since he is made of them that is why he is obsessed with capturing Peaach. Does he release Daisy whenever he captures Peach? 162.158.18.28 16:10, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I wonder if there's significance to the "Γ" on Waluigi's hat being mirrored, or if that's just an error. Right now it's a rotated L, when it should be a vertically flipped L (or an upper-case gamma, which complicates things further). 172.70.46.84 23:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- I was about to dispute this claim, but then i searched Waluigi and learned this is correct. maybe it's a mandela effect, like the O in Wint-O-Green. someone, i guess(talk i guess|le edit list) 23:35, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- You didn't know lifesavers were "Wint-O-Green" instead of wintergreen? - 172.69.6.107 09:33, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Clearly, someone hasn't read What If? 2, Chapter 46: Candy Crush Lightning.
-
(...) but the old Wint-O-Green flavor* of Life Savers candies (...)
-
* Which has apparently been spelled like that all along and I never noticed until now. I guess the O in Wint-O-Green is like the a in Berenstain Bears.

Regarding the bit where it's claimed we don't see Luigi alone games because it would spontaneously decay into Mario, the truth is that there actually are a few Luigi alone games, it's a series of games called Luigi's Mansion. Can I remove that bit? 172.69.90.140 08:42, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Just added that bit --172.69.71.140 14:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be some questions about the handedness of the Daisy particle spin, so here's my question as I have never played the game (nor do I have any particularly good knowledge of particle physics): In Mario Cart, after a collision between two players, which direction do the characters and their carts rotate? Is there a correlation? --198.41.242.208 09:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Fun fact: Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) from SG-1 called Neutrinos "Nintendos" once. Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 09:58, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Blue shells are the Z force, i presume? GetPunnedOn (talk) 21:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
