Hashra

Demonstration of an officially licensed wind-up hatching Yoshi toy from Japan. After the egg is wound up by rotating a part of it, the two halves of the egg shell fly apart at a high speed as the Yoshi toy inside is revealed, briefly wobbling.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the skyboxes seem incredibly vast as no matter how far Mario moves through the galaxy, he never seems to get any closer to any of the features of the skybox.

However, this is merely a visual trick: the skyboxes are not actually very large at all, and are instead repositioned on each frame so that Mario is always at the center, effectively keeping him from ever approaching the edges.

By disabling that behavior of a skybox (and using a cheat to enable Flying Mario), we can see that it is actually so small that reaching the edge is possible very quickly. Note that while skyboxes come in various sizes, none of them are much larger than necessary to contain the galaxy's planetoids.
