@LuigiTKO You have to beat Chapter 6 (complete the last creature in that chapter) to unlock the ability to use them! Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog when/how do you get these i'm on the third world and don't have them yet

In Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, placeable UI elements are unlocked as the game progresses. While the game tries to prevent clutter, with intentionally bad placing it is possible to cover the entire screen in UI, making the game look like a parody of bad interface design.

Scott Burns voiced Bowser in his famous voiced appearance in Super Mario Sunshine. Upon request by @GamingReinvent, he voice acted the intro to the final boss battle from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, providing a glimpse into a world where he had remained Bowser's voice.

@Michaelthe17th @mariocraft31 Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention! That is some amazing artwork, thank you very much @mariocraft31! As I do with all artwork I receive of myself, I will print it out and hang it on my wall!

@mariocraft31 @MarioBrothBlog yo you should see this

A particularly entertaining flaw in the Super Smash Bros. Melee programming is Bowser Floor Blindness, where Bowser regularly forgets that his Fire Breath affects the floor in front of him.

These two 2000 print ads were not intended to be placed together. If they are, they inadvertently seem to tell a grim story of a person who played Mario Golf as a solace from an unsuccessful love life, only to get addicted to the game and starve.

@slendss I am a huge fan of this song! I remember I immediately made a post about it when I discovered it because I wanted to share it with my readers. Definitely one of the most relaxing songs in the Mario series, in my opinion! Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog broth!! what you think of the best song of all time which just so happens to be included in the game you talked about in this post? youtu.be/mzM_G80xL0c?is…

The prototype version of Mario Artist: Paint Studio contains empty, "liminal" versions of Mario Kart 64 renders.

In Super Paper Mario, holding 1 and Left for 4 hours in the Blooper boss room will crash the game. Fascinatingly, the reason for this is the same as for the famous Parallel Universes in Super Mario 64, whereby Mario encounters a parallel version of the cutscene very far away.

@sophienovus The only thing you are able to do is hold the power button down for several seconds to force the system to shut down. Nothing else works. Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog any clue if it hardlocks the 3ds or if you're able to go to the home menu still and close the game

In Mario Kart 7, snow can make the game (very appropriately) freeze. Driving in and out out of the tunnel on DS DK Pass to make snow start and stop quickly will overload the game's GPU with snow, freezing the game.

@MSGTheEpic Amazing! This means that the flag was designed five years prior for Super Mario Sunshine, was scrapped during development, and then was rescued from the unused files for the development for Super Mario Galaxy later. Thank you so much for sharing this!

@MarioBrothBlog hey wait i’ve seen this flag!

In Super Mario Galaxy, there is a flag atop a tower in Sea Slide Galaxy depicting a seagull in a unique style not shared by anything else in the game. This is actually a reference to the classic 1984 Hayao Miyazaki film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

@Oxtii_ Yes, this is the only place where it appears. In addition, it is very far away from the ground and the only way to see it close-up is with the Bee power-up so it is very easily missed (I personally missed it for 10 years after the release!) Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog Is this the one and only place this flag asset appears in games? Very oddly specific and niche nod to something but cool nonetheless!

@BrosWinkler Due to not containing any fossils, it would be classified as a minor location. It also does not contain any Banandium Gems; most of its content is a way to spend chips on statues and the intrinsic value of exploring this classic location. Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog How would DK Island be ranked among the different tiers of location?

Super Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Bananza (without paid DLC) have almost exactly the same structure in terms of distribution of major, medium and minor areas. In addition, both have 17 areas total, out of which 7 are of particular significance.

@CriT____ As pointed out in the image, I use the regional coins and fossils to sort the locations into three categories, since that is a clear division into three groups provided by the games themselves, so by that logic the Mushroom Kingdom is major. I hope this is acceptable!

@sleeepysleeepy While both games are unquestionable masterpieces, I do prefer Super Mario Odyssey a bit more because I am the kind of person who hates to destroy beautiful things, and prefers to explore environments in a non-destructive manner. I hope this is acceptable!

@MarioBrothBlog Mr. Broth which game did you like more between Mario Odyssey and Bananza?

@CaptainKupo If bonus rooms and bosses are not counted, the only extra sections are a single Deck room in Glimmer's Galleon and an Ice and Bramble room in Animal Antics, so it is much less than one would expect! Thank you very much for your inquiry!

@MarioBrothBlog How many occurences are there when accounting for things like the bramble section in animal antics? (Additional themes used in levels not counting bonus rooms)

Donkey Kong Country 2's map design is exceptionally elegant in that it uses each of the game's 13 level themes exactly thrice each, without using any of them more than twice in a row. This is accomplished via several clever uses of the environment.
