Super Mario Galaxy 2 contains an unused "joyful zone" area that, when entered, causes Mario to be unable to stop running and somersaulting. I have enveloped the entirety of Starship Mario in a joyful zone for demonstrative purposes.

In the "Waltz of the Boos" theme from Super Mario Galaxy, the pizzicato arpeggio in the beginning and throughout the song spells out "DEADEAD DEADEAD". Whether the usage of the sequence "DEAD" for a ghostly theme is deliberate or merely a fitting coincidence is unknown.

In World 8-7 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, releasing a mushroom on the third Spine Coaster but not collecting it results in an entertaining interaction whereby the Spine Coaster will balance the mushroom on its nose, like a seal trained to balance a ball.

In Slipsand Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, there is an unexplained and out-of-place yellow flash during a Launch Star flight. This is because Mario actually flies through a fog area belonging to a planetoid from a different mission, and the very brief fog looks like a flash.

"It's weird how nobody can read anymore!" It's the fascism. "Gosh, you notice how nobody seems to engage with" It's fascism. "The focus on aesthetics instead of content is" Fascism. "Why do people think the past was better than" FASCISM.

Tomodachi Life wishlist: - can sell clothes (looking at the 22 pairs of the same sock everyone on the island has) and rooms - can give Miis accents/dialects in the native language (british, aussie, american, southern twang...) - can give a Mii a "mute" Little Quirk (speech bubble -> thought bubble)
