It never really dawned on me before how odd it is that Yoshis are born wearing boots.

Its actually fungus that looks like boots developed inside the yolk before hatching. Go to the last page of the SMW manual.

Holy

Shit

That is maybe the most meta Nintendo's ever gotten?

Their post about the Toad expressions in Sunshine is probably one of my favourites, mostly for how the observation is phrased.

[Common Knowledge]

While female Toads have been commonplace in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they have disappeared from the series entirely starting with Super Paper Mario, with the only hint that they could still exist being this quip from an angry Toad during a one-time event in Paper Mario: Color Splash. (Note that this isn’t conclusive evidence, as his wife could be something other than a Toad.)

Toadette though?

 

[ec0ec0]

that's awesome. I had never seen that.

 

[mooksoup]

I love Supper Mario Broth, consistently fun and interesting.

I'd like similar blogs for Zelda and Final Fantasy.

Mario aging from years of princess saving. Deepest lore.

But I thought Mario was 25 years old...

While playing as Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy, whenever he looks at an object to his left or right, one of his shoulders dislocates.

Zooming out during the intro to Luigi’s Mansion. Whenever the camera zooms in on Luigi’s hands, his body is not rendered.

Top: Luigi’s model from Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Bottom: Upon closer inspection, the buttons on Luigi’s overalls are not flat discs, but instead stakes that are driven into Luigi’s body. By taking them out of the main model, we can see their shape.

In the Japanese version of Super Mario 64, it is possible to change the direction Mario is facing during the cutscene after collecting a Bowser Key by standing under the key’s spawning point and entering first-person view. Note that in this version, the key appears as a Power Star after collecting it.

Way to get people's attention by making Mario dab in the coolest way possible.

The manual for Super Mario Kart encourages the player several times to look at their opponent's screen.

Screen-watching is Nintendo-authorized, it's cool.

This is now my favorite twitter account, thanks OP.

Never heard of that being an issue. Watching other persons screen was gameplay. Like in goldeneye when playing it was a masterful skill to let's say put proximity mines etc at the right time when you see the people you are playing with don't notice it. Currently watching them as when you enter a secret spot or if camping face wall and then don't reveal yourself until you spring the trap. Essential to time things correctly so you don't give them ample warning.

It is epic mind games and having to pay attention to screen and your friends playing with you.

 

[BGBW]

Screen watching is a legit tactic.

End of.

Seriously, the reason maps have coloured zones is so you can see where you opponent is easily at a glance.

There's just no way. But then some pictures in that thread are making me reconsider.

I didn't realize how big this blog was, thought it was a new thing but I'm on Page 170 right now...

Fuck I've gone in to deep. There's things I've seen that cannot be unseen, the very foundation of the tightly crafted Mario universe has been unraveled before my own eyes.

Well, back down I go...

 

[El Odio]

I remember the tumblr page got linked in some thread here long ago and I spent hours pretty much going through every page of it. Absolutely love it and their respective twitter.

Have one hidden strand of grey hair is not uncommon at all in your mid-twenties. My siblings and I have that.

 

[Lijik]

The greatest bit of lore about Supper Mario Broth is how the blog used to be run by another person before being taken over by another who is the current person behind the blog. Not much is known except they really dislike one another. A mystery for the ages.

I love when people dig up some of the original posts from that blog because it used to be weird mario-related shitposts

 

[Conor_Fool]

This is absolutely incredible. Subbed

 

[MrSaturn99]

Already mentioned in the OP, but I highly recommend following their Twitter for a daily dosage of WTF and cool obscure facts.

Their latest tweet is probably my favorite so far.

 

[Giga Man]

Toadette though?

Toadette only appeared in The Thousand-Year Door. She also appeared in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, but that's a Mario & Luigi game, not a Paper Mario game.

The blog also used to post fan art and crafts (the sidebar also used to link to a fan comic by one of the owner, that was basically a comic adaptation of Luigi's antics in Paper Mario TTYD). Nearly all of that and the memey stuff got nuked with the change of ownership.

Color Splash is great for screenshots:

I really want a 3D World sequel with her and Toadette playable. It would be super easy to have them as palette swaps for Peach and Toad with slightly altered properties.

Also I want a true Peach Daisy costume like Alph or the Koopalings that changes the model and has the announcer say her name.

Also, Idk what it is but those dreamcast sonic games always have some high resolution textures.. sheesh
