Big boos can be defeated by sliding down stairs

iirc they are not pre-rendered as they have the proper shadows according to the stage.
Wait, DKC and Diddy in DKCR are pre-rendered sprites? Holy shit, why? :O
SMG2 I believe.

That's a hell of a surprise. Didn't even know you could slide down stairs.
wanna be even more blown away with DK?
DKCR and DKCTF run in an upgarded version of the Metroid Prime engine. the same engine used on the trilogy was carried over to Retro's DKC games.
they locked the camera to the side to make 2D movement work.
some fans reverse engineered the Prime games to be able to make an editor that lets you view all the assets in the Metroid Prime games and it works with the DK games because of them using the same engine.

And there's more.
You can do this in Forest Fortress (and other places? not sure).
I love minor graphical glitches

This has killed me more than once in Mario Maker.
Aren't they just drawn to a separate buffer in real time so they wouldn't clip with the stage? Though I read that somewhere...
There's no way they're completely pre-rendered, though, the amount of frames you'd need for all the angles Donkey Kong can grab vines at would be insane.

What?! I didn't even know you could slide down stairs... also, that makes the level design even better than it already was. This game is something else!

I think that's because the entire game runs off of NSMB's physics, no matter which game you choose. At least that's what I've heard. I don't care enough about SMM to research that more.
i bet even the original devs themselves forgot that it was possible to do that.
And now this topic has made me sad.

Now unlike the ghost and bubble ones, this one looks like an oversight on the devs part. Hence the "not sure what sprite to use here so I'll just use gibberish" glitched death sprite.And there's more.

So does this mean you can kill literally anything with a slide? Like it was programmed as an "always works" attack but no one ever put in an exceptions list. The one with the saw and the triangle ramp looks to be a side-effect since no one ever thinks to slide down that ramp as it's only supposed to be used for running up walls.
It's inaccurate. They're not sprites.

Ah, OK. Still amazing though, they've always looked like 3D models as opposed to sprites.

A) If someone could find out about it now, when the internet is huge and news travels fast, why would you deny anyone could find it out 26 years ago when the internet was barely a child and only a few kids on the playground would have known about it?
B) It was also in a highly popular book about Mario games. And people STILL didn't know it. But the information has been out there for a quarter of a century.
So, is this the new "Video game facts that blow your mind" thread?

You can slide to kill Iggy's (boss #1) fireballs too.

Holy fucking shit there is a specific sprite for doing this too. This was fucking intentional?!

It's kind of impressive to get every single part of a console's name wrong when it says it right there on the front below the screen.
Game Boy Advance.
So, is it common knowledge that you can kill a big boo using an inflated cape?

Haven't played SMW but I can relate in stuff I've never known for years.
Case in point, from Flying Battery in Sonic 3:
....The spikes could be pushed?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
yeah, i only played through that level like 15,000 times while i was growing up. makes sense that i'd miss something like this.
