Mad Scienstein,[1] originally known in Japan as Arewo Shitain-hakase[2][page number needed] (meaning "Dr. Arewo Shitain"), and sometimes referred to simply as the Mad Scientist,[3] the professor,[4] or the doc,[5] is a recurring supporting character who appears throughout numerous Nintendo games. He has filled a multitude of different roles and professions; including a scientist, researcher, robotics engineer and archaeologist. Mad Scienstein is a comical, elderly man with a large head, glasses, a mustache, and a beard. Despite being around 90 years of age,[6] he demonstrates strong sexual interests.[7]

History[edit]

Mad Scienstein first appeared in Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru under the name of Arewo Shitain-hakase,[8] where he acts as a researcher who provides assistance to the player in providing useful items. Arewo Shitain works as a researcher for an institute on Nantendou Island, providing the protagonist with helpful items such as gloves that increase strength, or a device that can control mammoths. He also appears in the final battle of the game, riding a robot of his own creation, the Tokyo Comic Show Z, which assists in defeating the final boss. Arewo Shitain is said to be a gourmet, and he frowns upon the thought of sharing his food. He is especially stingy when sushi is involved.

Wario Land series[edit]

Wario Land 3[edit]

Arewo Shitain-hakase makes his first appearance within the Super Mario franchise in Wario Land 3, but with a redesigned appearance and a new name, Mad Scienstein. His name is a portmanteau of "mad scientist," referring to his appearance, and "stein," a Germanic word and name suffix meaning "stone" that is commonly associated with scientists due to famous physicist Albert Einstein and the fictional Victor Frankenstein.

He carries bottles of invisible potions, which he throws if Wario is near. If Wario touches a potion, he becomes Invisible Wario, allowing him to pass through seeing-eye doors. While the rest of the enemies in the game are actually townsfolk cursed by a hidden figure, Mad Scienstein appears to still be human. In this game, his large bone-shaped head is replaced by a mechanical glass-domed helmet. Unlike most enemies in the game, Mad Scienstein makes no effort to hinder Wario's progress, and it is suggested that he is trying to help Wario.[9] Mad Scienstein will sometimes topple if Wario causes earthquakes from a powered-up Super Smash.

Mad Scienstein appears in The Peaceful Village, two areas of The Vast Plain, and in the Cave of Flames.

Wario Land 4[edit]

Mad Scienstein appears in Wario Land 4 as an archaeologist, returning to his original appearance and name of Arewo Shitain-hakase, who came to conduct his own expedition of an ancient pyramid.[6] He is first seen in the game's opening sequence, where a picture of him can be seen in the newspaper reporting the pyramid's discovery. He is stated to be a robot engineer and an Honors Professor at the Masakāchotto University Engineering Department.[6] During the game, Wario can usually encounter Arewo Shitain-hakase within the various pink areas inside the levels, where he can be found pacing with a magnifying glass. Wario can interact with Arewo Shitain in the same way as most other enemies: he can be stunned, picked up, and thrown to break blocks or hit switches that are out of reach. This is commonly required to solve a puzzle in the rooms to reach a Diamond. Arewo Shitain has a unique sound clip (a loud exclamation of "Oww!") that is heard whenever Wario harms him. Unlike most enemies however, none of Wario's attacks actually defeat Arewo Shitain. If he ends up falling in water, he dons scuba gear and swims along the bottom.

Arewo Shitain-hakase also appears as an obstacle in the beginning of the minigame The Wario Hop, where he is seen eating an onigiri, as well as various places on the game's main map. He also has various in-game idle animations, including one which depicts him playing with a Game Boy Advance. After Wario defeats the Golden Diva, ruler of the pyramid, Arewo Shitain falls from the ceiling after the pyramid begins to collapse. He is later seen trying to escape the pyramid alongside Wario and the black cat. While panicking, Arewo Shitain-hakase jumps on Wario in order to safely exit first. This is the final time that Arewo Shitain-hakase is seen in the game.

An interview with Arewo Shitain-hakase's character on the Wario Land 4 official Japanese gamepage confirms that he occasionally plays games to take a break from research. The same interview also suggests that he reads adult magazines and performs other activities while on his breaks that he cannot discuss with young boys.[7]

Dr. Mario 64[edit]

In Dr. Mario 64, Mad Scienstein once again serves as a minion to Rudy, assisting in his plan to steal the Megavitamins from Dr. Mario after Wario made an attempt to steal them in order to become a doctor himself. Mad Scienstein in this game is slightly stockier compared to his appearance in Wario Land 3, and wears a metallic helmet in this game. Both Dr. Mario and Wario chase Mad Scienstein throughout the land as they approach Rudy's castle, facing various foes from Wario Land 3. In Dr. Mario's ending, he cures Rudy to Mad Scienstein's joy, whilst in Wario's ending, Mad Scienstein steals the Megavitamins from Wario leading to the latter pursuing him in an apparently never-ending chase. He is playable in multiplayer mode.

"It’s not easy to say out loud... I looked at something for adults. Even though I looked behind me to make sure no one was looking, it seems someone found out. I guess I’m a man after all!"
