FREE PALESTINE!!!! 🇵🇸

Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 contain a glitch known as "Launch Star Displacement" whereby entering a Launch Star while Mario is slipping will cause his launch trajectory to change.

As most targets for launches are small planetoids relatively far away, and most locations in the game are surrounded by empty space, even a small trajectory deviation statistically often results in Mario missing his target and flying into the void.

The footage shows this happening in Boo Moon Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mario very briefly slips on the edge of the purple Snake Block while entering the Launch Star. While he is supposed to land on the crescent moon planetoid, he ends up missing it entirely and dying.
