Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 3h

Two well-known voice clips from Super Mario Sunshine are Mario saying "Aren't I done yet?!" and "There's more?!" in an exasperated way, long presumed unused. However, there is actually a way to hear them in-game, as they have a chance to play when he enters a level at low health.

Trying out CrossCode, which has convinced me that games need to do away with silent protagonists and give me more monosyllabic goobers instead.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Theory, this is a preview of the pikmin movie, shortly before whatever happened that seemingly wiped out humanity, and this mother and baby will have on-screen deaths

Partially Spooky Pikmin Facts @pikmin-facts.bsky.social · 4d

This morning Nintendo randomly released a short animation titled ‘Close to You’. The short very prominently uses leitmotifs of the Pikmin Huming song and the main theme of the Pikmin series.

This is likely just an Easter egg to Nintendo Pictures’ earlier works on the Pikmin Short Movies

Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an
"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?
AUTISM

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.

Really hope they end The Simpsons with that second movie

ProfessionalWeirdo @professionalweirdo.bsky.social · 12d

Craziest thing about this is after the first movie released they made a joke about how long it would take for a sequel, the release date for the second movie is 2 days before the 20th anniversary of the originals release
