I didn't even realize the green apples increased the timer.

Glad I'm not the only one. My mind was blown twice in that one post.

Wasn't that the ending song of the movie Jeepers Creepers?
edit: no, same guy made it though

 

[Diablohead]

Never knew the green apple things gave you time!

joke post right?

 

[CryptiK]

Mario Superstar Saga GBA game's Save menu theme song borrows from Pokemons Poke Centre song.

 

[Raiden]

You are kind of an idiot.

Wait, did I say "kind of"?

Why? He is right. JUST LOOK AT DEM STARS.

 

[fisheyes]

Count me in with group that didn't know about the Green tomatoes (are they really supposed to be apples, by the way?) increased the timer. And the music thing is really cool too

 

[MAtgS]

nevermind.

 

[Gravijah]

i hate you get out of here

 

[PetriP-TNT]

In Super Mario World, the green apples increase the time on the clock. When the clock read less than 100 seconds, the music gets faster.

So you can let the timer decrease to 99 seconds then eat a green apple, then wait for it to decrease again and the music will get even faster. Pretty cool.

wat is this i dont even...

Come on, I have played through SMW like 900 times (and I am not even kidding) and I haven't noticed that green apples increase time

Green Yoshi is the basic Yoshi with no special powers (although he can use colored shell powers).
A green Koopa shell is a basic shell with no special powers (although it can trigger colored Yoshi powers).

If Yoshi eats a red shell, he can spit fireballs if he spits the shell out before he swallows it.
If Yoshi eats a yellow shell, he will get a "ground pound" effect until he either swallows the shell or spits it out.
If Yoshi eats a blue shell, he will get wings and be able to fly until he spits or swallows.

A red Yoshi gets the fireball-spitting effect anytime he eats any Koopa shell. If he eats a yellow or blue shell, he gets ground pound or wings in addition to the fireballs.
A yellow Yoshi gets the ground pound effect with any color shell, in addition to the shell's own color effect.
A blue Yoshi gets wings with any color, in addition to whatever the shell color gives him.

If you spit out the shell before Yoshi swallows it, you can pick it back up again to continue it's effect. You can't do this with red Yoshi or red shells though, because you spit fireballs, not the original shell. This makes blue and yellow Yoshi's the finest Yoshi's overall in Super Mario World, because you can combine and abuse the blue and yellow powers across entire boards. Red Yoshi can fly and ground pound briefly if you get him the right shell, but it never lasts long as the shells are consumed by his fireballs.


Blue (awesome) + Yellow (awesome) = Green (lame)

Also, Yoshi is a member of the Koopa family. That's not a saddle on his back. It's a spiny's shell with no spikes.

[Gravijah]

the sprite looks more like the newer art, saddle/shell wise

another random art

 

[Azure Dream]

I wonder why they decided to make Yoshi's arms orange on the in-game sprite (the one on that canvas is a later edited version), when the original SMW art didn't reflect that? Added definition is all I can guess, but Yoshi hardly moves his arms in SMW.

Left is Super Mario World, right is Super Mario Advance 2, the GBA port.

 

[SecretSphere]

Speaking of Rare Music, I just KNOW that DKC2 Map Music is taken from something, like a classical piece, but ugh I can't place it.

It does sound a bit like Rhapsody - trolls in the dark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gf6jtbrBGA

 

[Mandoric]

And more. I thought it was pretty interesting.

That background pattern is pretty reminiscent of the pattern on old FC cassettes, like

 

[Alastor]

That's probably old, but...

I just found out that Leon S. Kennedy and the famous merchant from Resident Evil 4 both have the same voice actor, Paul Mercier. Awesome.

 

[zoukka]

Wait Yoshi had arms in SMW @_@

 

[lljride]

Wait Yoshi had arms in SMW @_@

I thought they were stirrups or something, never noticed they were arms.

 

[Marvie_3]

:O

 

[anonymousAversa]

Super Mario World is so ridiculously deep

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Wait Yoshi had arms in SMW @_@

.....dude. Seriously?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Wait Yoshi had arms in SMW @_@

You people are dum.

 

[mclem]

I thought they were stirrups or something, never noticed they were arms.

To be fair, if you saw them when they were orange, they look a lot more like they're associated with the saddle ( / shell ) than with Yoshi himself.

 

[Gravijah]

Yes, I thought the in game model for Yoshi had stirrups myself in SMW. Really not that hard to do that since they are orange.

 

[Azure Dream]

I used to think they were stirrups too. But Mario's feet don't move with them, and there's some sprites where they're more obviously hands than others. I eventually figured it out pausing on a weird frame as a kid, and spending the next ten or so minutes pausing and unpausing, and squinting at my blurry old tube TV.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

I never understood why Mario's brim was black in that game. In the beta sprites and official artwork it's red as usual.

Mario supports capitalism more than Wario. In 3D Mario games, you heal by eating coins.

You never look at the box or cart?

This is kinda old, don't think this is in this thread:

Persona 4-GAF reference:

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.
