In his original design, Dr. Eggman's collar is supposed to play with his bushy moustache to create the appearance of walrus tusks.
"I am the eggman... I am the walrus...."

Chun Li is actually wearing a pantyhose in the Arcade Street Fighter 2. You can see the seams when she does her jump animation. Other animations that should show the seams, do not show them. My guess is that they planned to add them to all her animations, and either forgot or decided against it.
This was removed from the later games.
Can't say I ever noticed, and I played the arcade version a lot before the home versions arrived. Nice find.
Also, seams or no, of course she's wearing pantyhose. Either that or she only tans from the waist down.
SWEET LENNON ALMIGHTY.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
apparently this guy is a goomba. I just heard this on the GiantBombcast. I always thought they were a new enemy.
That just got retconned in 2013.
Perfect Setting for the Mario Bros. 2 movie
This is so good.Since we're talking EA, do people know the Electronic Arts/Ultima stuff? Can't recall if this has been here before.
If you're not aware, a lot of the developers of Ultima have in-universe counterparts. Shamino and Lord British are both versions of Garriott himself, Iolo is the composer, David Watson, and Iolo's wife, Gwenno, is a version of Watson's wife, Kathleen. Chuckles the jester is one of the founders of Origin, Chuck Bueche... and so on.
It happens that Richard Garriott is not fond of Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts. It's been said that his attitude to craft and worldbuilding goes at odds with EA's all-business approach. In Ultima VI, there's a major plotline about the treasure map of one Captain Hawkins; as his gravestone says, "Here lies Captain Hawkins. He died a hard death and he deserved it". There's other pirates in the game also based on EA employees: Joe Ybarra, Stewart Bonn, Bing Gordon. At the end of Ultima VI, Britannia is somewhat stable and contented. Peace and prosperity are thriving.
Then, in Ultima VII. The Guardian comes, and dominates the storyline of the final Ultima trilogy; a godlike being, immensely powerful; described as "The Destroyer of Worlds"
He ends up as the point of worship of a religion, the Fellowship. It ends up very popular, but corrupts the essence of the Virtues that underpin the entirety of the Ultima universe. And there's three figureheads of it; Batlin stands alone, but there's also a pair of twins; Elizabeth and Abraham. Devout followers of the religionto the extent of actively murdering those who speak out against it
Finally, and most interestingly, the Guardian's influence in Britannia is controlled by three generators made of the strange anti-magical ore Blackrock.
There is the Cube, which controls the Guardian's voice in the world.
There is the Sphere, which disrupts the moongate teleporters and keeps a benevolent being, the Time Lord, imprisoned.
And there is the Tetrahedron, which disrupts magic.
One of the finest, most acclaimed RPGs in history is basically a diss track.
Some good ones lately in this thread. Here's another small one:
I always wondered what the purpose of these blocks are. If you jump at it, normally you'll just get another coin. Now I know that, if you have collected more than 30 coins in that level, that block gives you an extra life.
Seems like there are quite some things I still don't know about Super Mario World. Surely doesn't help that I never had a manual for that game.
I learned that on GameFAQs back in the mid-90s.
Fun fact about Goomba's, they are known as Kuribo in Japan. Kuribo meaning chestnut.
So while Jeff mentioned that the ones from world look like bastardized goomba's they in fact look more like what they are based on.
The new Super Mario Bros games even made some of them in the prickly shells the chestnuts come in. In the winter level no less (because they are associated with winter)
There's definitely some allusions to chestnuts, but the original design is based on mushrooms.
Specifically designed after a shiitake mushroom, yeah.
The Hungarian thing might be a coincidence.
