"I have this dream...
maybe if we can get to the surface...
you and me... we can make more than a dream."

Still don't know when I'll get a Switch 2. Even so, the Big Monkey we know well is making his comeback tomorrow! With a superstar singer in the making!

Experimental post: Untruthful Mario Boxes
Occasionally, box art of Mario-related games will be misleading about the number of levels a game has. I list three examples in ascending order of "fraudulence", alongside equivalent statements if these were real estate ads.

Misinformation about level count on box art
FUDGING THE NUMBERS
Wario Land 4
Over twenty enormous stages await!
Wario Land 4 has 18 platforming levels.
These are all fairly large and can be reasonably
described as "enormous". However, to bring the
number to "over 20", the six boss stages have to
be counted, which each are exactly one single
GBA screen in size. The game either has "enormous
stages" or "over 20" of them, but definitely not both.
REAL ESTATE AD
EQUIVALENT
Counting
walk-in closets
as rooms
STRETCHING THE DEFINITIONS
Donkey Kong Country
Over 100 levels
Donkey Kong Country has 33 platforming levels,
40 if boss stages are also counted. The "over
100" number comes from counting individual
bonus rooms within levels as levels,
which by any reasonable definition would
be considered parts of a level instead.
Any technical definition by which a room could
be counted as a level, such as "a level is anything
that is loaded into memory separately", would
not reflect the general usage of that word.
REAL ESTATE AD
EQUIVALENT
Counting cupboards as rooms
BLATANT FABRICATION
Super Mario World
Explore 96 levels
Super Mario World has 73 levels.
The number 96 comes from the box counting
levels with two exits as two levels each.
It is generally understood that in a platformer,
a "level" is a distinct area. Counting a single
area as two just because it has two ways to
exit it is at best incomprehensible logic
and at worst deliberately misleading.
REAL ESTATE AD
EQUIVALENT
Counting doors as rooms

Been playing Mario3D world for my 1YO daughter since her favorite thing right now is Mario Characters, especially her Cat Luigi plush. So it inspired me to do some mockup pixel art. Was going to make more to this but got so busy I wound up losing interest. #pixelart #supermario #mockup #8bit #NES
