Meta Knight has more Grammys than BTS

A coding oversight that is common in 3D Mario games is that objects that have the ability to squash Mario (e.g. Thwomps, crushing walls, etc.) do not actually check if they are moving towards the surface they are supposed to be squashing Mario against, and instead merely check for their distance to that surface, and whether Mario is between the two. This is occasionally seen in the Super Mario Galaxy games, where Mario can illogically become crushed by a Thwomp that is moving away from him instead of slamming into him.

The footage shows that even Super Mario Odyssey contains the same oversight. If Mario moves very quickly, such as by rolling, he can touch the space between the ground and a retracting pillar, causing him to be squashed despite no force actually being applied against him. Note that while it may appear that Mario actually stood up at the last moment, pressing him against the pillar, this is merely part of the death animation; he was rolling for the entire time and should have been able to roll underneath the pillar.

In Paper Mario, a group of Ravens can be found on top of a tree in Yoshi's Village. Out of these, four can be Tattled with Goombario, causing him to make various remarks on how he finds them cute (e.g. "Ravens are really cute. I told Kooper that, and he said I had weird taste." and "Ravens are short and chubby. They're pretty fluffy, too. And somewhat cuddly. And soft.")

However, there is one Raven that is too high up to be reachable (circled yellow in the image), and does not have a Tattle even when reached via hacking. A Tattle that is presumably intended for it can be found in the files, but only in Japanese (translation provided).

This Tattle reinforces once again how much Goombario likes Ravens, going so far as to express that he would like to cuddle a Raven when sleeping.
