Part of Nintendo's E3 1996 B-Roll (recently digitized by VGHF) includes early footage of Mario Kart 64, then known as Super Mario Kart R! In this clip you'll find a different title screen, different character icons, and Kamek the Magikoopa as a playable racer.

Blenders new dithering composite node is something I've wanted for so long just to make stupid little renders like this. Just finished this model for this update.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, some enemies enter "sulk mode" when they are surrounded by blocks and cannot move, whereby they will sit down and look upset with their situation. Some enemies can sulk but never do so during regular gameplay. Below are all enemies capable of sulking.

In Super Mario Bros., the first vertical lift platform in World 6-3 does not have a fixed range like it may seem at first. Instead, it slowly keeps increasing its range, so that keeping Mario on the platform will eventually result in his death.
