Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.

Leather - one cow makes SO MUCH leather. One deer makes SO MUCH leather. Well-treated leather lasts almost FOREVER. Even animals with small skins like rabbits, a pair of well oiled rabbit leather gloves will last decades. Every animal usually made into leather is also a meat animal, so it’s more sustainable to get more than one product from a single ethically butchered animal (humane kills make less punctures in the hide!) Leather can be tanned with natural resources like brains and doesn’t require treatment with chemicals that seep into the groundwater!

Cotton: Cotton is a fucking plant, it burns. The growing and harvesting of cotton is rather water intensive but it IS possible to sustainably harvest and reuse the water spent in the cleaning process to reduce the ecological footprint of the crop. It burns clean, it cuts clean, it’s sturdy, and there are 1000 ways to weave it to change its properties.

In Super Mario Sunshine, a commonly known glitch is the Dune Bud high jump, whereby a Dune Bud on Gelato Beach is sprayed and then Mario performs a Ground Pound in such a way that he is in mid-air when the Dune Bud activates. This results in Mario being launched so high up into the air that he takes several minutes to fall back down.

However, an interesting interaction of this glitch that actually reveals some of the inner workings of this game can be seen when it is performed directly after defeating the Wiggler boss, immediately before the Shine Sprite spawns. This is shown in the footage; note the unusual black sky during the cutscene.

The reason for this is that the skyboxes in this game (as in many other Mario games like Super Mario Galaxy) actually follow Mario instead of remaining fixed in space. When Mario is launched into the sky, the skybox follows him, so when the camera switches to showing the Shine Sprite, the sky is no longer visible from the ground, having been pulled upwards by Mario.
