You can't make comparisons across games, because there is no reason aunit of HP in one game would be compatible with a unit of HP in an unrelated game. No one designs a game thinking, 'This character is godlike, so I will give them far more HP than, say Kefka, so accurate comparisons can be made across games.' Kirby would not reasonably have 6 HP in a world where Mario would have hundreds, but he does in his own games. It's like comparing someone's height in feet to someone else's in meters, while just comparing the two as numbers. The comparison between the two is invalid because you're stripping away the context and just comparing the raw numbers, so the comparison results in the conclusion that the person who is two meters tall is much shorter than the person who is five feet tall, while the opposite is true. |

Why? It's too debatable to bring in anything other than numbers and facts. Facts like, Invincibility Star (platformer) destroys the destroyable, which includes Kefka. |
