I was experimenting with Super Mario Maker 2 with Mario and a Bully in a small space and thought the way the Bully reacts is similar to a dog or pet bird enjoying a good pet or scritch.

Sunshine's sense of space in & across all levels on Isle Delfino are some of the best out there! #mario#gaming#nintendo

If you're a fan of the original "Super Mario Allstars" for the SNES, you should also know about its famous "brick bug", which is actually super annoying once you realize it's there. Luckily, there's a simple fix!
Just to add a a little controversy: While trying to decide which version is my personal favourite, I just went through the different variants of "Super Mario Bros. 3".
Oh, well... there's the original NES version and there's the SNES "Allstars" remake. The NES graphic looks super clean and the SNES remaster is just beautiful! Both are perfect in their own way!
But there's also this creepy thing they put on the GBA.... I never understood why Mario needed a voice actor! That weird egg-throwing dinosaur somehow is also talking now. Adding the annoying screen crunch to fit the GBA's screen... this will never be as good as the originals!
...by the limitations of the 8-bit NES, Nintendo chose to remake them for the 16-bit SNES. 🕹️
The developers based the updated designs on those from Super Mario World (1990) and strove to retain the feel of the original games. 👌

...Nintendo decided to develop a kart racer with slower tracks. 🏎️
They did not decide to incorporate Mario characters until a few months into development. The choice was made after the development team when observing how one kart looked to another driving past it, decided to see what it would look like with Mario in the kart. 🏁
Thinking that having Mario in the kart looked better than previous designs, the idea of a Mario themed racing game was born. 🏆
