post any random Mario thought on your mind

Petey Piranha just isn't good at the net because his volley power is abysmal compared to his stroke power. Petey IMO is just a pretty bad character.

It also doesn't help that whenever Petey Piranha hits the ball, he's left vulnerable for a while, and that can give opponents a chance to smack the tennis ball at Petey Piranha's face. Because of this weakness, Petey has to stay far from the net to avoid that scenario. Unfortunately, playing away from the net is also a disadvantage for Petey in that opponents can take advantage of his slow mobility by performing drop shots while near the net.
 
I find it amusing that Petey Piranha doesn't have a hitbox for his head, otherwise, serves in doubles will pelt him on the back of his head every time.

This is an image from a movie set in 1986. To show that it's from 1986, the main characters are playing Super Mario Bros on an arcade cabinet.

There are six anachronistic issues with this image. Five of them have to do with the artwork. Can you count them all?
 
I'm playing Super Mario Galaxy (for the first time) and I am thrilled because today I finally passed my first Trial Galaxy mission (as Mario): The Galaxy's Greatest Wave on Loopdeeswoop Galaxy.

I know that the 5 characters have artwork clearly not from SMB1(Peach from Super Princess Peach, Bowser from some Paper Mario, idk Mario and Luigi, Yoshi doesn't exist yet). Not sure what the non-image issue is.
What game are they playing on an arcade cabinet, according to the artwork on the side?
 
As incredible as it may sound, I remember at our seaside resort there was an arcade cabinet of Super Mario Bros.. I guess it was an Europe-only thing.
