Whatever happens, bring a coat, it gets chilly out here

The Supper Mario Broth Yoshi's Story stream continues!
Join me on the Supper Mario Broth Twitch channel as I further explore and provide obscure facts about Yoshi's Story on my quest to become YOSHI'S GREAT PARTNER! www.twitch.tv/suppermariob...

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

Development files for Yoshi's Island reveal that Yoshi was originally meant to have a human voice. Lines for transforming into his various forms, including unused ones like Tree Yoshi, have been found.

In Mario Kart World, NPCs will park their cars, exit them, and walk around. However, the game does not actually keep track who each car belongs to. As such, a different NPC than the owner may drive away with a car, seemingly stealing it.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

Experimental post: The Inevitable March of Time
From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

In Yoshi's Island, a "tongue overflow" glitch exists whereby Yoshi's tongue is able to fly away and begin gaining infinite length, overwriting the game's memory. The tongue-based corruption can have any number of effects, including skipping to the credits and ending the game.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK's banana awareness is tied to how far the camera is zoomed out. If the bananas are offscreen, this can create the impression of him playing a silly game with the camera where he makes a funny face only when the player isn't looking closely.

Ouughhh… my balloons…

Back in 2013, Toby messaged me about a game he was working on and asked for overworld NPC sprites with walk/talk animations.

You may have noticed that the SNES Mario Circuit 3 course has appeared more times in Mario Kart games than any other course: Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Tour, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart World (as part of Mario Circuit) Development files for Super Mario Kart reveal that it was actually the first course ever made for that game, and by extension the entire Mario Kart series. As such, the decision to keep using it is likely the track's emotional significance to the team as the place where it all began.

You may have noticed that SNES Mario Circuit 3 appears more times in Mario Kart games than any other track. Development files for Super Mario Kart reveal that it was actually the first course ever made for the series. As such, the team likely has a sentimental attachment to it.

Prior to Mario Kart World, the Moped Mayhem mode in Mario Party 8 was the racing game with the greatest amount of random generic characters in it. With the release of Mario Kart World, the rosters of the two can now be compared.

In Super Mario Maker 2, if a Goomba exits water while touching a slope, it will become glitched and be imbued with immense speed.

An extremely obscure Easter egg in Super Mario Odyssey is "rare nosebirds". In three of the kingdoms, there is a 15% chance a bird that lands on Mario's nose will be replaced with a rarer variant instead. These do not occur naturally in the environment and are nose-exclusive.
