you see, Deventer does a barrel roll at Peppy Hare's command because it has spiral columns in its Romanesque crypt. also I was getting really bored at animating fly ins at this point and decided to have this one rotate around a centre along a path

Deventer, St Lebuinus (the Grote Kerk) flying in as part of the archdiocese of Utrecht, of which it was a cathedral church 1559-81. It was the final Super Universas seat to be formally occupied by its Bishop, on 30 Nov 1570.

St Lebuinus, Deventer. Crypt looking E, built mid 11thc. Three pairs of columns supporting a masonry groin vault. The first pair are carved with spirals (akin to a number of Early Romanesque monuments likely imitating the "Solomonic" columns that were obtained by Emperor Constantine and used in the screen surrounding the high altar and St Peter's tomb at Old St Peter's Basilica, Rome), the eastern pair are scaled.
The central bay originally had a splayed window, which was opened and reclosed in the 1990 archaeological works.

i regret to inform you that in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Toad does indeed tell Fox McCloud to do a barrel roll (although actually what you do in Starfox 64/Lylat Wars if you tap Z or R twice in aviation terms is an aileron roll)

First stage in Starfox 64 (Lylat Wars in PAL regions), Corneria City, the player character Fox McCloud's Arwing doing a spin along its longitudinal axis which deflects incoming attacks with a blue serrated light shield, as instructed by Peppy Hare's comm of "Do a barrel roll (Z or R twice)!"
