Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

In Super Mario Odyssey, I discovered this when I was throwing Cappy to pop Luigi's balloons without jumping, which is possible in Shiveria because there is a small snow wall that I can stand on without jumping. So what did I discover? Throwing Cappy the 3rd time in a row will make Mario throw Cappy faster than usual (covering distance is still the same), and he even makes a different grunt if you do so. Because Mario was on a small incline, Cappy would be at a higher level since he levels himself after a fixed amount of time, which was why he didn't pop Luigi's balloons.

Basically, Cappy is thrown faster at the third throw, and as far as I can tell, this is not documented. I guess you can call it a "hat trick".

If anybody is interested, I could post a Twitter video to show this in action.

Thank you for reading.

I recently uploaded a video clip on Twitter to showcase this in action: https://twitter.com/i/status/1081598254599462912

Note that I am standing on a slight slope, which means that when I am throwing Cappy, he is thrown at the angle Mario is standing before he levels himself. Because the third time is faster, he will level himself at a higher ground, meaning that he will miss Luigi's balloons.

Thank you for reading.
 
For years I thought that Daisy's icon in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was only of her head without her body, I only noticed last night that her body is there too, but because the collar on her shirt is wite it blends in with the background too much. I also think that part of her arm is on the right of the icon too, but I'm not sure about that.

Also if you place third or better in 100m Freestyle with Luigi he does a backflip in the water, it's quite cute and it's much more extreme than most of the other characters who either just spin around or put their arms up in the air.
 
Luigi does an elaborate break dance, so I just guess Luigi really wants to show off in those games. He's over doing it l, but can't blame him, not when Mario's around...
 
At first glance this Geno official art looks like his nose is his lip, so he looked to me that he is pouting, not noticing that he has a mouth below his nose.

The buttons on Wario's denim jacket in the Super Smash Bros. games have "Made in W" written on them.
 
Just learned that the Japanese version of Wario World had a exclusive theme for the Black Jewel fight.


Why wasn't this in the US version?!

I used to think her curl was a nose for some reason.

Must've been one of those wacky "polish the game after it comes out in the US" type deals ALA Luigi's Mansion's Hidden Mansion.

I'm frankly appalled that anyone would see such unflattering design in this character. You can never make me see that in Vivian lol. If that was a nose does that mean she has a nose on the back of her head too?

The blush I at least can understand but I still thought it was pretty obvious that her eyes were hidden just like Beldam and Marilyn's

Well now I just feel like the dumbest man alive.
