Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Super Mario Sunshine is surprisingly more realistic than later Mario games in one specific aspect: here, Mario will start drowning if he hangs on to a ledge in such a way that water is flowing into his nose and mouth, as one would in real life.
Observe Mario holding on to a ledge that water is flowing over in Super Mario Galaxy (left) and Super Mario Odyssey (right). If realistic physics applied, he should start drowning since his nostrils and mouth are covered by water flowing into them.
However, in these games the air depletion/drowning state is tied to the swimming animation. As long as Mario is not visibly swimming, he cannot be drowning even if he is covered by water.
In Super Mario Sunshine, however, air depletion is decoupled from swimming as an action, allowing Mario to realistically start drowning in this situation (note him flashing red and his air meter depleting).
However, he is saved by Sunshine's (also unique among 3D Mario platformers) ledge tiredness mechanic. After hanging on for 20 seconds, Mario will let go. This is also realistic, since why would he let himself drown?

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.
A GameCube disc has a storage capacity of 1.46 gigabytes. Many Mario games use only a fraction of that storage. Below is the optimal distribution of the smallest Mario-related games on the system to fit 6 entire retail games on a single disc.
Unused space 54 MB
Luigi's Mansion 186 MB
DDR Mario Mix 264 MB
Wario World 257 MB
Donkey Konga 2 312 MB
Donkey Konga 250 MB
Please note that this pie chart is for data visualization only. If the games were in fact put on one disc, the data would be arranged in rings, not in slices.

In Paper Mario, the Power Bounce badge's maximum number of bounces is arbitrarily capped against bosses, making Mario end the attack even with perfect inputs. Below are ways to determine if the player should feel bad about the missed input or if it was the game's fault.
In Paper Mario, the Power Bounce badge's maximum number of hits is arbitrarily capped when fighting various enemies, particularly bosses.
This means that even if you perform the input perfectly, Mario will'simply stop the attack all by himself at some point, making it look like it was your fault.
Here is how to tell if your attack was capped by the game or if you missed an input:
If you missed an input, the A button will remain on screen for a fraction of a second after the hit. In addition, Mario will jump off the enemy in a steep arc, landing close to the enemy.
If you were capped, the A button will disappear on the frame Mario deals the final hit, and he will jump off in a larger arc, landing further away. If you see these signs, rest easy: it was not your fault.

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.

The Computer Games Museum in Berlin has an N-Gage exhibit! I’d love to see those prototypes up close. Best part though, it has the tagline “A Fantastic Failure”! (Pic credit @jetbrianradio.bsky.social)
Various prototypes systems and circuit boards.More systems, giving the unusual coloring, possibly prototypes. These resemble the QD upgraded model of the N-Gage. Also a more standard looking, vertical orientated model of a Nokia phone at the top.Standing kiosks for “High Seize” and “Snakes”. “A FANTASTIC FAILURE”
It sure was!

sleigh the princess
A screenshot of Slay The Princess, showing the Princess in front of a simple background. Unlike in the game, she's wearing a santa hat.

She says 'Really? Are you just going to ignore my festive hat?'.

The options on the side read [Wish her a Merry Christmas], "Don't worry, I got you a great present." [Hand her the blade], "It's a shame there's no mistletoe down here.", [Slay the Princess].

In Mario Party Superstars, the "endless mode" of Hot Rope Jump is not actually endless, and will play an ending scene after reaching 9999 jumps. This takes 3 hours of continuous flawless play, making this the longest Mario Party series minigame with a definite ending.

Mario Party contains an obscure "underwhelming victory" scenario. Normally, the winner is celebrated with a special cutscene and declared Superstar. However, if no stars were obtained, no cutscene plays and all the winner gets is text saying "YOU ARE WINNER" before the game ends.

To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.
