I didn't realise that Waluigi's creeping at the bottom-right corner. I used to think that Waluigi was left out of this set while Wario made his appearance!

Thank you for reading.

Luigi looks like he can easily fit in that "Is this a pigeon?" anime guy meme.

Super Mario Advance Intro

Here is the intro to one of the first Game Boy Advance titles, Super Mario Advance.

I didn't realise that the opening of Super Mario Advance is designed to highlight the resolution increase from GBC (160 x 144) to GBA (240 x 160). Basically the darker portion is the resolution absent from the GB(C) but is used in the GBA. (Thanks, Jeremy Parish!)

Thank you for reading.

In Captain Toad, the titular character will clap when he is near Blue Toad (the bespectacled one), and will sleep when he's near Yellow Toad (the sleeping one).

Thank you for reading.

"To a New Adventure!" from Bowser's Inside Story sounds an awful lot like "In His World" from Sonic '06.

In Mario Kart Tour, doing the same rocket start technique from previous games, then releasing the screen when GO! appears results to an even longer boost (3-ish seconds).

There are car parks on the detailed Touch Screen map of Koopa City in Mario Kart 7.

Drums are played when Mario (or any character) rides on Yoshi until I have seen that there are two variations of the soundtrack.

Drums are played when Mario (or any character) rides on Yoshi until I have seen that there are two variations of the soundtrack.

Technically speaking, in New Super Mario Bros. U, the drums part of the soundtracks from riding on Yoshi is simply overlayed on top of the original track, in a multi-channeled music file. It's similar to the first-place instruments in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, or the extra effects in Music Park from Mario Kart 7 like the piano, xylophone, keys, etc.

N64 Mario's thumb is actually a separate piece from his hand.

You normally can't tell because the lighting and the white gloves hide the model edges.

Other characters like Luigi and Wario also have thumbs like this too

 

[Rinka Hayami]

I guess it's easier to draw hands without the stick in the mud finger being a part of it

 

[Moon]

It's possible that the rock theme for the new track on the London Tour is a reference to many famous rock stars are British

 

[Nostalgia Critic]

The instruction booklet for Mario Kart DS refers to the Boo item as "Boo-Hoo", however later revisions of the booklet use the term "Boo" instead.

N64 Mario's thumb is actually a separate piece from his hand.

I especially notice it on his left hand here, looks pasted on.

 

[Mcmadness]

Gotta love them N64 3D models.

 

[Wallop]

why it look like mario walked 10 steps and quickly turned around to shoot wario

The island tilts in Bombs Away in Mario Party 1 even if cannonnballs only hit the water. I always thought the island tilted due to having 4 characters on it at once

 

[Kat Gravity Rush]

Baby Rosalina's pacifier in Dr. Mario World is cyan, instead of gold from her appearances in the Mario Kart games.

 

[Wallop]

Interesting also her doctor form's star crest has the orb piece resembling more of a golden jewel, as opposed to a flat yellow circle.

Wario picks his nose because he is digging for gold

 

[Bowser II]

Wario picks his nose because he is digging for gold

I...

Huh.

 

[Wallop]

This just came to my news feed

Tbh I did notice this apparition while playing through the game, as I take my time and sightsee everywhere, didn't think much of it though I find the internet hype take entertaining.

One of Waluigi's trick poses in MK 8 and Tour is a parody of the bros jump animation in 2d games

Instead of Snowmen, MKT calls them Snowpeople, pretty neat
