6:20 When he says he was folded 256 times, it probably means folded 2^8 times, or 256 times thicker than usual. Still is improbable due to the “unable to fold a piece of paper 8 times in on itself” rule (nobody else said this so thought I would)

You can fold paper more than 7 times, but the paper has to have a smaller thickness:surface area ratio than your standard printer paper.

And then Kamek threw a sandal battle at me, and I couldn't tell what stickers were what when I was using them, so I ended up wasting about half of my hard-earned stickers as sandals.

On floor 100, you’d fight Kammy Koopa, who’d only have raised attack power like Doopliss, but also 3 phases like Cortez. She’s fighting alone to make up for the time Bowser fought alone. Her phases would be themed around ice, then poison, then fire.

I know you pointed out that this game had twelve writers, but I think it's mostly because of the quantity of dialogue in the game and less about the quality of it. The writers can be funny when they're allowed to work with funny stuff (sniffit or whiffit, for example), but I can imagine everything else in this game was just draining to write.
