The Jim Davis who didn't create Garfield

I've beaten Mario Sunshine dozens of times before, but never 100% until today. The 2 things I'd never done before were the blue coins and lily pad red coins. I've always heard terrible things about those, so I never seriously attempted either one until this playthrough

I'm playing through every Mario game in order, and I caught a detail that I never noticed before. I've always noticed that Luigi's overalls were made more purple in SMW, but I somehow never realized that they've kept that change ever since. Although they've desaturated them quite a bit by now.

Just replayed Paper Mario 64 for the first time in probably a decade and I've developed a new theory. I have very little evidence in support of it, but nothing that I can think of that outright disproves it. I will not elaborate any further.

"Mushrooms are drugs" jokes are a staple of Mario humor on the Internet. Not even Nintendo themselves are strangers to this, with a comic in the official Japanese Super Mario World guide using "Luigi is consuming mushrooms secretly in the bathroom" as a setup.

Panel 1: 
Mario: "LUIGI! YOU'VE BEEN EATING MUSHROOMS
AND HIDING IT FROM ME AGAIN, HAVEN'T YOU?"
Panel 2:
Luigi: "SORRY, BRO...
I JUST COULDN'T RESIST..."
Panel 3:
Mario: "I'M NOT SAYING EATING MUSHROOMS IS A BAD THING!
JUST DON'T DO IT SECRETLY IN THE TOILET!"
Panel 4:
Zoom out to reveal Luigi is too large to exit the toilet. Mario must go urgently.
Luigi: "I'M SORRY, BRO... I'M SORRY..."
Mario: "IT'S ALRIGHT, JUST GET OUT OF THERE!"
Please note that the original comic was already in Western left-to-right reading order. The panels are specifically numbered in the comers to indicate the correct order to readers only familiar with Japanese manga right-to-left order.

Money's a bit tight at the moment, so I have an idea that I wanna run by you. I don't know for sure if or when I'd do this, but I'm just checking to see if there'd be any interest. What if I did a stream where you could super chat like $5 to have me sentence-mix Morshu for you?

I posted about this on YT a while back, but my actual main project atm is a dumb little cartoon thing loosely inspired by Classic Internet Culture™ Here's a tiny clip that makes complete sense both with and without context, just to prove it exists.
