In this post, you can see two recordings of gameplay of Super Mario World side by side. Both start at a pipe near the middle of the Chocolate Island 1 level, then the footage on the left goes inside the pipe to get launched over the gap, while the footage on the right jumps over the gap instead. This results in an unexpected difference at the next gap with the springboard: if Mario goes into the pipe, there is a level midpoint tape above it. If Mario does not go into the pipe, the midpoint is absent.

The reason for this is that even though it may look like Mario is immediately emitted back into the level when he enters the pipe, he actually enters a parallel version of the level instead, one almost entirely identical but with small differences such as the existence of the midpoint tape.

What did you know: parallel universes exist in Super Mario World too!

Thank you for reading.

I'm pretty sure that it's just developer convenience. If programming allowed it, I believe they would've created a trigger that would've caused the checkpoint to spawn.

I guess the guys at Supper Mario Broth must have checked Mario Boards every now and then, because this is one of the recent posts:

This is the post I am referring to:

Are there any commercials which this image come from? Subtitle is in Chinese so it might be a Chinese commercial, but this is the only video I can find featuring Mario interacting with Monopoly's Mr. Pennybags:

I posted the Mario Kart: Double Dash! metal rendering quirk back in the "Look at it thread" and the thing was posted months later after Supper Mario Broth. I don't think I got credit for noticing it first, lol.

I have registered on this forum specifically to address this post. It is true that I occasionally browse this forum and that I have taken the idea for the Mario Kart: Double Dash metal reflection post from your observation. However, I must note that this happened before I introduced my current sourcing and attribution policy, which has been in place since September 2017.
I have amended the post in question on Supper Mario Broth with an attribution of the discovery to you. I am currently in the process of sourcing all posts predating the policy, but please understand that with thousands of posts, this is a very time-consuming endeavor.

Hello to you, Supper Mario Broth! I am happy to see you addressed that point!

If you do read this, I have a question to ask you: occasionally you will take long breaks between posts, and then on an unexpected day, you will post discoveries non-stop, and the cycle goes on. What do you normally do during the downtime?

Thank you for reading.

This is a very good question.
At any given time, I have materials for hundreds of posts I could make. In fact, right now, my file listing possible posts has 680 entries. However, most of these entries are of a lower interest to my readers, based on my understanding of what my readers find interesting, so the only time I can post them is between high-interest posts, so as to not bore my readers.
I do not have many high-interest posts saved up, and when I run out, I do not want to fill up the time with low-interest posts as that would - and in fact has in the past - lead to my readers believing I am "running out of material". Therefore, I would rather take short hiatuses, or in some cases longer hiatuses, to find more high-interest posts than to jeopardize the perceived quality of my blog.
Ironically, my Twitter account was first created as an outlet for low-interest posts, but as it gained popularity, I found myself unwilling to disappoint that part of my readership either.

Here's a question I've been willing to ask...

If you have archived everything that was there before you came along (I'm assuming you have due to the reuploads of some of that stuff), would it be possible to create another blog and move it there?

Sorry if this sounds pushy and/or mean.

While I did have a backup of the previous owner's material at one point, and planned to reupload the content over time, the backup was sadly lost due to hardware failure. It was entirely my fault to not have created a cloud backup. I have contacted the original owner, but there is not a backup that person could provide either.
All I can say is that I am sorry for deleting and losing the content, but in my defense, the previous owner said that content was not important and that I could delete it freely. If I had known how many people were fond of the content, I would not have listened. Please understand that the blog was much less popular at the time and I could not have foreseen the impact my decision would have.
