Cursing aloud the moment news of Leo XIV’s election arrived on His phone screen, the Lord Almighty told reporters Thursday that he had lost $400 Thursday betting on Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle to become pope. “Oh, son of a bitch, that pretty much cleans out my savings,” said the visibly frustrated deity, who groaned that He had always known the Filipino prelate was a long shot but that the “insane payout” had been too good to pass up.

A particular controller input widely used for a glitch in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (and other 3D Zelda game) speedrunning surprisingly also results in glitched behavior in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

The input is known as the "ESS position", named after the Extended Superslide, the glitch it is most commonly used for. It requires holding the analog stick precisely just outside the dead zone (the zone near the middle of the joystick where input is not registered as movement) tilted in the direction opposite the one Link is facing. The top image shows the input as detected by the software.

If this input is performed in the exact same way in Bowser's Fury while Mario is swimming, he will swim backwards for as long as the stick is tilted in the ESS position.
