Development files for Super Mario World show that Wiggler was originally envisioned to be extremely bored and spiky, and has been continuously made less bored and less spiky over several iterations during development.

March 16, 1990 Extremely bored and spiky. March 23, 1990 Still just as spiky, but now slightly less bored. July 12, 1990 Now only the head is pointy, and the expression is that of a vague disinterest. November 21, 1990 The non-pointy, friendly Wiggler that went on to become a series staple. The boredom has been replaced with anger. Source: Zetaman, tcrf.net/Development:Super_Mario_World_(SNES)/Sprites

I get that it's hard for younger folks to grasp how immediately, completely insane 9/11 made this country, so I'll just point out that George Bush, a widely despised clown, pulled 90% approval for doing absolutely nothing- liberals would attack you for suggesting he was less than infallible

Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...

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.
