New Variant of Super Mario Bros. Cartridge Discovered
Testing a bunch of GB games to make sure their batteries still work and I think I can safely say Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is fine.
All the more reason to be proud. 1up to gaming sister. ❤️
And this is why she was always in another castle, but Mario could never take a hint.
me too peach me too
Yes it's all over world.. same..
Peach when her girlfriends Daisy and Rosalina show up:
I wonder if the Capital One Bank Guy ever played Super Mario Bros Deluxe
A Bowser course select screen, long thought unused in Super Mario 64 DS, can actually be seen by performing an absurdly specific action: Yoshi must drown underneath the Hazy Maze Cave entrance. If his lifeless body floats up through the pool, the screen will be displayed.
Me killing my Yoshi to see cut content

that is SUCH a weird way to trigger that. i wonder what the intent was, or what edge case lead to it being loaded
How oddly fitting for finding a Bowser screen.
This is definitely one of those finds that sounds like an urban legend you'd hear on the playground xD
wow yoshi took a weird route
The location as to where this is able to be seen DOES make sense when you look at a certain beta screenshot of 64DS
Who knew that killing yoshi would be the only way to see cut content in game?
Fucking creepypasta shenanigans I swear
If you said this was a thing back when the game first released, people would think it was one of those fake rumours like unlocking Luigi in the original Super Mario 64 or Waluigi in this version. It sounds approximately as unbelievable.
this one is some genuine creepypasta shit. just use yoshi's lifeless drowned corpse and throw it into the caves. then bowser's secret lair shall reveal itself
see I was just saying Mario 64 DS lends itself to weird route creepypasta stuff and then here's a real glitch that takes you to an evil version of the Level Select screen if you drown yourself out of bounds oh my god

Mario 64 DS weird route
Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...
Apparently these were intended to be scrapped for the gold in the pins. Seems like Nintendo basically made one last batch of Mario/Duck Hunt carts to fill any remaining needs, and then didn't actually need many of them after all.
Crazy people are still discovering this stuff. Awesome.
The moneyball move would have been to trickle one or two of these out for top dollar before letting everyone know there are 97 of them. 🤭
I’ve been to that store. It’s like 20 minutes from my house. It’s a really cool place with a lot of good looking stuff.
retroachievements is so conceptually wild to me. who's playing super mario bros. and going "yeah this is good but it's missing a little popup when i collect 50 coins"
on some level i can see how they can highlight cool secrets and tricks in games and the people making achievement sets tend to be pretty passionate about the source material, but it's still a weird layer of external overhead over the original game that just doesn't sit right with me
honestly i love seeing what random shit they make into specific achievements lmao
i kind aget it for mario, the first version i played was super mario bros. deluxe which had extra shit in (red coins, yoshi eggs) it that would be nice to have tracked. stuff like 50 coins collected is funny tho
i kinda like it partly because it tickles the Number Go Up part of my brain and partly because most of the achievement sets ask you to do kinda esoteric shit i wouldn't have considered otherwise
On Monday's episode, we are joined by the talented and lovely @tiffbaxter.bsky.social to talk about Super Mario World 2... or is that Super Mario Bros 5? Or is that Super Mario Advance 3?? We're talking Yoshi's Island, of course. What are your thoughts on this title?
I love Yoshi's Island. My mom had a 100% file and some of my favorite times as a kid was listening to her play.
It remains as timelessly beautiful as it did back in the day with so much charm and whimsy. …But - oofa DOOFA - trying to 100% it sure is an extreme test of human patience, even with NSO rewind.
