Okay, this blog is blowing my mind. I never knew about this destructible wall in Whomp's Fortress:
I imagine there are quite a few warp spot people don't know exist too lol.

Just because you didn't know it doesn't mean nobody did.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but this isn't news. I'm pretty sure the game shows it if you leave the game on the title screen without pushing any buttons for too long.
This one's crazy to me.
In Super Mario 64, during the first mission of Jolly Roger Bay, Unagi the Eel blocks the entrance to the sunken ship. No matter how long you stay near him, he will not leave until you swim away and come back. This is because the game is trying to hide that he has no animation for exiting the ship; instead he simply warps out once Mario is far away. It's possible to see this in action by swimming away and holding C-Up so the camera moves above Mario.

This one I knew about. Probably from Nintendo Power back then.Okay, this blog is blowing my mind. I never knew about this destructible wall in Whomp's Fortress:
How many are there? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Bob-Omb Battlefield and the first snow world. Are there more? I'm sure there are others I knew about but I'm drawing a blank.
Edit: Oh and Whomp's Fortress near the green block.
Here's a list: https://www.gamefaqs.com/n64/198848-super-mario-64/faqs/3330
Edit 2: Oh and Lethal Lava Land, I knew that one too. (Under the eye) And the ones in Shifting Sand Land, but I rarely used them. And the one in Tiny Huge island that takes you from the floating island to the mainland. There are others. I knew about most of them.

What in the fuck at the Galaxy footage?

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
....This would have made the ending to "the perfect run" in Galaxy 2 much easier.

It's a property of the enemy whether it can be killed by a certain move or not.
For example, Thwomps can't be killed by sliding, but they are vulnerable to thrown shells. Big Boos are vulnerable to sliding, but invulnerable to thrown shells. Their behavior was intended, probably. The Grinders, on the other hand, were definitely not meant to appear near slopes, so they didn't bother to make them invulnerable to sliding.
Most bosses including Bowser are hardcoded into the game, their levels can't be modified as easily. If I had to guess, it's invulnerable to anything that is not a thrown object.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in here yet, but whilst we're on the subject, it was very recently discovered that Blue Fire can destroy bombable walls in Ocarina of Time.

Took me a while to dig it out. It was discovered accidentally when a speedrunner had no explosives and was kinda screwed in the race. Used Blue Fire just messing around and it actually worked. The OoT speedrunning community reacted like most of the people in this thread. Which is kinda crazy considering how far we've come in terms or breaking OoT apart, especially over the last decade.
Here's a video of entering Dodongo's Cavern.

Wait, can you even slide the Mario Maker?

Probably not due to all of the games using NSMB physics.
I think I read this in Nintendo Power! Lol, I've always known about this thankfully (and it's a pretty cool animation) but have failed in most subsequent Zeldas trying to bring my destroyed signs back because it's no longer part of the equation

In the rocket level with the bats in DKC Returns, when the giant bat shows up behind you in the final stretch, DK will swing his arm at the bat dismissively, as though he's saying "Pssh, this guy again."
However, if you die in that section a certain amount of times, DK will facepalm whenever the bat shows up.

Wow, I certainly didn't know about this.
This and the OP, WHAT?
SupperMarioBroth is a fantastic blog. There's stuff like this on there constantly. The one from the other day about how AI in Mario Kart will clip through bananas if they're far away from you was amazing.
Fuck off Nintendo... all this time...
