Lookin' For a Showdown

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, all Fuzzies have a tiny red, white and black cube inside them. The only other character who has a similar cube on the inside is Lubba. The purpose of the cubes is unknown.

The "icy" sound from the Ice Cavern in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the same sound as the star collection sound in the Super Mario Galaxy games. The post plays a brief snippet of Ice Cavern before a snippet of Super Mario Galaxy footage that includes the sound.

The reason is that the sound used in both of these was taken from a commercial sample CD ("Best Service Gigapack" - SYN_Fantasia3 -L) and was not actually created by Nintendo.

Extremely early model of a racetrack found in the files of Mario Kart 7, possibly one of the first models ever made for the game, likely to test the basic functionality of the engine. Instances of models in such a rudimentary state are very rare in Mario games.
