It was an effective piece of advertising! I hope you got an A+ because I was definitely craving some fucking mints! It works because the only way you can win in any reasonable amount of time is by using "MP" or "Mint Power"
And apparently this "Mint Power" kicked the bald faggot's ass so hard that he has NEGATIVE HP the next time you fight him! Now those are some potent mints! Altoids ain't got shit on those!
