Things you didn't notice before in Mario games

[Nyorori]

Koopa Shell noises in MK are meant to sound like the noises Koopas make
Wait...
Does that mean they're still in there?
YOU GOTTA TELL THE WORLD THAT KOOPA SHELLS ARE MADE OUT OF PEOPLE

 

[zel]

theres this mk8 line gif too

id like to think it was just for the purposes of the gif and the actual shells in game are still empty

The penguin suit totally started with Mario Party 2

 

[Bob Craples]

I never knew Redshift could be unlocked in smash intill I tried it by typing russain.

 

[Ray Trace]

I have him unlocked in Smash 4 and...I don't quite recall that's how you unlock him

 

[Nyorori]

We never once questioned Mario's main defense underwater is fire

 

[Bowser II]

Mario in every underwater level

''stinks! it stinks! ... ... ... IT STINKS!'' repeat quote on infinity

Yes, Mr. Sherman everything stinks...

 

[YoshiFlutterJump]

In Yoshi's Crafted World, Red Coins spin the opposite direction of normal coins. Haven't checked any other Yoshi games yet but I think it's unique to Crafted World.

 

[Koops]

That's not actually in a Mario game but it has something to do with Mario.

Most Fire Emblem games have two units you get very early in the game, both cavaliers, one in red armor, the other in green. They're partners, or know each other, and have some sort of friendly rivalry.

I just realized those two guys obviously reference Mario and Luigi. Maybe not character-wise but the rest is there.

In Three Throw in Mario Party 4, it is possible for a character to miss a shot during the opening cutscene

 

[Vivian]

Didn't notice how morally neutral Daisy is until I played Fortune Street.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

How so?

 

[BBQ Turtle]

In Speed Skating 500m in 2010 Wii, each character type requires a different number of perfectly timed swings in a row to perform a dash. Also Waluigi has a funny losing animation in this event where he falls over, but I can't find a video of it at the moment.

I'm certain this image isn't a render of a 3D model but a complerely 2D vector graphic with shadow effects and gradients

 

[Cubot]

In Mute City, on one of the buildings there is a helipad with a Question Block symbol.

 

[Vivian]

MUTE CITY?! I need to play MK8D @~@

 

[Nyorori]

Koopa The Quick and Mips is based on the story: The Tortoise and The Hare

 

[Mcmadness]

Mips is more a reference to Alice in Wonderland, or at least it kinda quotes it.

 

[Starlight24]

i knew that in Mario Kart SC , all characters have the JP version voices, but i didn't notice until now that Yoshi has his usual Kazumi Totaka ''Yoshi'' sounds instead of the Mario Party and Mario Kart 64 ''animal'' sfx.

 

[Mcmadness]

I still wonder what the hell the foley guy used for those yoshi noises.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Aren't the percussion-like noises just altered orchestra hit noises?

 

[J-Yoshi64]

The Bullet Bike has a tailfin.

 

[Nyorori]

Luigi has no artwork in Super Mario Bros 1

 

[Vivian]

Ah right, Mario's long lost brother, Identical Twin Luigi.
