Why does nobody talk about the unused World-e mini-game from Super Mario Advance 4? The one where you have to unclog a toilet? #SuperMarioAdvance4 #SMA4

The unused mini-game from Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, where the player is tasked with unclogging a toilet before the timer runs out. This would be done by using a carriable plunger item that appears nowhere else in the game. Every plunge timed well adds points to the score at the top-right of the screen.

A screenshot of the article for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, from The Cutting Room Floor. It reads, "Unused Bonus Game: A near-complete bonus game goes entirely unused in World-e, where the player would have had to unclog a toilet. Notably, the"

Heres the obj file that these were based on. the file used a slightly older? design. the wall climbing animation also needed some graphics to be shifted and rotated to display correctly.

According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."

"In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers.

It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina."

-Motoi Okamoto, Script and Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, in a 2017 interview with Chris Kohler from Gamasutra

Here's a big announcement for Ganbare Aeron. Much like Wakana's 0# Iggy's Castle Pub, I'll be accepting other people's OC to populate Circo Porto Carnival, as long as there enough palette space available (60 colors are available atm). Rules and details can be found here: smwc.me/1657238

For an unknown reason, the Greek version of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series (called ΝΤΟΝΚΥ ΚΟΝΓΚ) added a smug Donkey Kong face as part of the logo that is absent from all other localizations of the cartoon, where the logo is made out of words only.

Analyzing internal names for Cheep Cheep models across the Mario series reveals a surprising tendency for games to not call their limbs "fins", but instead words like "hair" or "wings", even though other fish have "fins". What this implies about Cheep Cheep anatomy is unknown.
