This beautiful image by @vgcartography (twitter) highlights one of my favorite details in this level: The spikes above the water are the tips of the sunken ruin's towers.

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. 🏆
Most of my gaming time recently has been spent shiny hunting in Pokémon Scarlet with my eldest which has been a lot of fun (pics of my shinies to come).
Tonight I went for a change of pace and have been playing Mario VS Donkey Kong on the Switch. It's been so long since I played it on the GBA it's all new to me again. Its slower pace is just what I needed, and not too challenging on the old brain 😅 #Nintendo#NintendoSwitch#Mario#DonkeyKong#ShareYourGames
