Think my issue with big open world games a la breath of the wild is that they just haven't found a way to make exploration feel as rewarding as it is in like. A metroidvania. Or Banjo-Tooie. There's just less new experiences and a much less concrete sense of exploration tying into progression

Kevin Hassett on Fox News argues that if you exclude the sectors that lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, "you actually had a number that was about plus 100,000" 🙃

For fans of special challenges, the final Bowser battle in New Super Mario Bros. U presents the "Defeat Bowser By Throwing His Son At Him Challenge". Normally Bowser dies after 3 hits with the Clown Car. However, the player can also throw Bowser Jr. at Bowser NINETY times to win.

In the final battle of New Super Mario Bros. U, the intended method to damage Bowser is Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car.
After knocking Bowser Jr. out of the Clown Car, Mario can ride it into the air above Bowser...
...and perform a spin down onto him. It takes three hits to defeat Bowser in this way.
However, if Mario stomps Bowser Jr. while he is running back to the Clown Car after being knocked out...
...he will retreat into his shell, which Mario can pick up.
Mario can then throw Bowser Jr. at Bowser...
...which does not even seem to do anything to Bowser except briefly redden the area of impact.
Yet, this does actually deal damage to Bowser... being 1.12% of his health. Bowser will die after being hit NINETY TIMES with Bowser Jr.'s shell, making this an extremely time-consuming way to win this battle.
...even more so than hitting him with fireballs, which takes 180 hits but at least does not have a cooldown like Bowser Jr. has.
