In Super Mario World, when Mario is riding Yoshi, almost everything that would damage Mario knocks him off Yoshi instead. Mega Moles are one of the very few objects that ignore this rule and still hurt Mario.

The Super Mario Bros. 3 title screen contains a subtle reference to Super Mario Bros. in the palette of the “3″ in the logo. The number cycles through the exact same colors that the Question Blocks in Super Mario Bros. cycle through. Note that the Question Blocks in Super Mario Bros. 3 itself do not use this palette, so the reference is likely to have been deliberate.

Wegee! You save-a Mario!
I… did it?
Way to go! Number 1!
Like and reblog to help these two plumbers find a better home!
(Not to gain notes actually… I’m just happy Luigi is finally at Super Mario Odyssey! He’s not playable, but at least he’s there! And besides, the Balloon World minigame is awesome!)

Intro for Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. (Footage recorded by me in a GBA emulator.)
I mentioned this in a recent reblog, but I noticed Mario’s expressions here. I know this part of the Luigi’s Mansion DM ending was short, but for me it says something.
Notice how Mario isn’t just surprised or simply confused. His eyebrows give him almost entirely different expressions, ones you would see when a character is anxious and afraid.
Mario was scared. It may not seem like a big deal, but with a less passive character like Mario, this is definitely worth noting.
He could’ve been thinking he was going to see King Boo when he was taken out of the painting, not knowing what he’d do. However, he saw Luigi instead and becomes so happy to finally be free 😀
Just a small thing. I like to analyze things too closely, especially micro-expressions like these. Add other things if you’d like (just be nice).
