How are people not seeing that
He is wearing a green hood with a golden circlet around it that holds it over the head.
Well my mind is blown with the Agahnim stuff. I also thought that his eyes were covered with his hair and the red/pink part was his mouth. This is some weird stuff.
Because the way I saw him I always imagined him being somewhat simpleminded, because of his "hairstyle" and his covered eyes. Like he was some kind of priest under the influence of a spell.
But now he is just one bad ass wizard that tries to confuse you with his fake head..ohhh mennn what..

I really cannot see how people didnt realize that was a crown on Aghanim's head. I mean, its pretty obvious

It's all about perspective.
For some of GAF, Aghanim is looking toward the camera. This means it looks like the face is directly forward.
For rest of GAF, the camera is above Aghanim. This means it looks like the face is pointing toward Link.
His shadow is supposed to tell your brain which way to orient your view, but apparently it didn't do its job for some people.
Kulock said:I'm not sure the curtain calls directly relate to the shadows and rigging on platforms and the end of levels, it was all just a bit of flourish IMO. Particularly the end of level blackness, since in the NES version, the plants and platforms in that area were just white outlines. Then in world 8, you got to a level where everything was like that. So the end of level is like Mario journeying into the encroaching darkness from Bowser's kingdom. (It was strange, poor decision on their part to normalize the levels for All-Stars and beyond.)

What an abomination All-Stars is. I never got that far into it to see how they ruined the World 8 stages. I always prefered the NES SMB3, but this really seals it as fact. Anyone who prefers the All Stars verison is a bad person and should feel bad.
E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari, a gem now widely considered to be one of the worst games ever, was the straw that broke the camel's back leading to the videogame crash of 1983.
In the wake of the success of the E.T. movie, more than one copy per Atari 2600 was made in North America. More copies of it than any other game in history were returned to the publisher, and in September 1983, somewhere around 14 dumptrucks-worths of thousands of copies of the game (among others, and Atari systems), were crushed and buried in an El Paso landfill.

Can we see a drawing of what we're supposed to see?

I don't have any drawing stuff with me right now, but I didn't see it as hair. I saw him a hairless old man with sickly skin, and the line as a furrowed brow ridge. His eyes were hidden in the darkness.

Makes me wonder if these people also think mario's hat is his head, and his nose is his penis or something.

There's the people who think Mario was hitting the blocks with his head.
How do you even orient yourself to see it any other way than what it was meant to be? That's more mindblowing than anything else :lolJocchan said:
It's even worse for Quote because he's basically just a face.
But it's a headdress. It's not his actual head that's so big.mclem said:

I think the problem lies in the circlet, actually. It seems to bend with his hood (#1) because of an ill placed line, causing some confusion. Also, the part that looks like a mouth (#2) is probably supposed to be a part of his clothing covering half his face, but the coloring is off, yet again causing some confusion. As stated earlier, poorly drawn sprite is poorly drawn.

Not sure if anyone noticed this but there's like a face in the FF VIII map. I noticed this when I was playing FF VIII today. I can't find the map and I don't want to spoil myself. It has to be the in-game map. Sorry if this was posted before.

I don't feel bad. I think this is the only major mistake they made, compared to the changes made in the GBA version. SMB3 AS is fantastic.

Because when you first start the game, you don't really have a reference, so it's like Mario in SMB1, where Mario's head was in profile but his body faced toward the camera.Crunched said:
