Experimental post: Untruthful Mario Boxes Occasionally, box art of Mario-related games will be misleading about the number of levels a game has. I list three examples in ascending order of "fraudulence", alongside equivalent statements if these were real estate ads.

the democrats could easily out-message the republicans on trans rights, but they do not want to. they know what works and what doesn't and they will keep doing what doesn't work on purpose

In the Goopy Inferno mission in Super Mario Sunshine, one of the Piantas is an unexpected Chuckster. A player who talks to him and happens to tilt the Analog Stick in an unfortunate direction after exiting the dialogue will make him throw Mario with enough momentum to kill him.

just by volume the two main types of things americans say to me are 1) "stop talking about the US, you're not from here" & 2) "tired today, you say? we're all tired too - tired of the cheeto in the white house, that is!"

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Britain's future is in Jamster subscriptions, and if they aren't allowed to have all of your music to sell as ringtones then Jamster and therefore the UK will fall into bankruptcy and ruin. I've never used Jamster myself, but the executives I met yesterday were very clear about this.

In Super Mario Odyssey, whenever Mario shudders after falling from a great height, his irises actually detach from his eyes and wobble back and forth. Entering Snapshot Mode on a specific frame of the animation will make them clip all the way in and give him blank, zombie-like eyes.
