I think the OP really disregards how much popular media from that time especially has really strange premises.
Dragon Ball is a very loose adaptation of Journey to the West about a monkey boy who likes to get stronger through fighting tournaments who ends up fighting a demon who killed his best...
This is a bit of an aside, but I never really got the point of adding the triple jump in the NSMB games, as I can't recall a single instance in any of the four games where it is ever useful to use. You'd think maybe some of the harder secret exits or an interesting secret room may have required...
