Supper Mario Broth @Mario BrothBlog In Super Mario Galaxy, Bouldergeist has an unused variable that is simply "3". While unused variables are common, what makes this notable is that for his appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2, this was changed to "4" despite remaining unused. The significance of this is unknown. SUPER MARIO GALAXY "Object argument " parameter (unused) 3 SUPER MARIO GALAXY "Object argument O" parameter (still unused) 4 The variables have been found, through decompilation of the games, to never be called by the code. Why an unused variable like this would need to be updated between games is unknown. ource: twitter.com user@HEYimHeroic

*Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog In the intro to Super Mario Galaxy, a Toad trapped in a crystal changes expressions from happy when Mario is near to sad when he isn't, creating the expression that he is still conscious inside the crystal and is rejoicing at Mario's presence and despairing at his absence. Mario is near the Toad Mario is further from the Toad The Toad is happy, as though relieved to see Mario The Toad is sad, as though concerned that he can't see Mario anymore The technical explanation for this is that the crystal and Toad within it change between a high-polygon and low-polygon version based on how close the camera, and thus Mario, is to them. It appears that the expression assigned to the high-polygon Toad is different than the low-polygon one, creating this effect. Whether this is an oversight or done deliberately to create that effect is unknown. Source: Supper Mario Broth, screenshot taken in a Wii emulator, game: Super Mario Galaxy (NA, WIT)
