hiya, buddy i make music and 3D art sometimes.

Previously I have posted about a Nintendo of Europe downloadable premium animated wallpaper that featured a bizarre Toad eating the wallpaper. The files have finally been datamined, allowing the Wallpaper-Eating Toad to be observed in never-before-seen maximum quality.

These two 2000 print ads were not intended to be placed together. If they are, they inadvertently seem to tell a grim story of a person who played Mario Golf as a solace from an unsuccessful love life, only to get addicted to the game and starve.

Left: print ad for Mario Golf on the GBC, showing the game and reading "No dates this year? No problem."
Right: print ad for the GBC showing Mario Golf being played by two skeleton hands, reading "Don't forget to eat."

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.
