Rexo’s Random Ramblings

Due to an unexpected interaction in Super Mario World, eating green berries in his own home kills Yoshi.

Yoshi's House is one of the two areas in the game with no time limit (the other being the Top Secret Area), displaying "0" under the timer. As such, Mario and Yoshi can stay there forever without losing a life. Green berries add 20 units to the timer whenever Yoshi eats them, and were never meant to be used in an area without a time limit.

If glitches or cheats are used to spawn a green berry at Yoshi's House and Yoshi eats it, 20 units are added to the timer. When it reaches 0 again, Mario and Yoshi will die, since the "time up" function only checks for the moment the timer goes from 1 to 0 (which is why they're safe due to the timer starting at 0 normally).

Note also the smoke from the chimney becoming glitched as a side effect of Mario and Yoshi dying in an area not meant to accommodate death.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, several factors combine to create a unique way to collect arbitrarily many extra lives:

-the Drill power-up automatically defeats enemies falling onto the character from the top -as long as the character is not touching the ground, this builds up a combo that can reward 1-Ups -enemies from a pipe will not emerge indefinitely if the player is too close to the pipe to prevent abusing this to farm lives... -however, the Grappling Vine badge circumvents this, and allows the player to move away and immediately latch back onto the pipe without ever touching the ground, preserving the combo.

If any of these factors was not in place, this trick would not be possible in that form.

The colors of the letters in the word "World" in the logo of Mario Kart World appear to be, at least in the majority, a reference to the colors of the word "World" in the logo of Super Mario World.

Note that the "D" is a new teal color that was not present in the original logo, but this may be simply to avoid using the same green color twice, especially this close to each other. In modern Mario logos there is usually a rule that two letters of the same color (in a multicolored word) have to have at least two more letters of other colors between them.

If this is somehow not intentional and a coincidence that 4/5 of the colors match up with the same word used previously in a logo, this scenario is equally as notable for its unlikely chance.

In Super Mario Odyssey, Chain Chomps have a circular "danger zone" around them that they will attack Mario in, which is usually indicated by the ground being a different color (light brown in the footage as opposed to the green grass that is safely outside the zone).

However, simply being inside the danger zone is not the only requirement the Chain Chomps have for attacking Mario. In addition, the camera must also be pointed toward them. In the footage, Mario has already entered the danger zone, but is not being attacked until the camera is turned around to face the Chain Chomp.

While the reason this is programmed this way is most likely to make the enemy fair to the player and to prevent Mario being unexpectedly attacked from off-screen, the result is behavior that humorously seems to suggest the Chain Chomps having animosity toward being on camera in particular.

In Super Mario Maker 2, creating the contraption shown in the footage in the Super Mario 3D World game style and collecting a Super Bell while holding a trampoline and entering a pipe will cause the player character to enter the pipe internally, but not actually follow the pipe physically.

Instead, the character will ascend toward the top of the screen in the manner shown in the footage before the screen fades out (note that the Glory ray of light effect was added by the course designer to underscore the glitch).
