The contrast of Sonic game soundtracks over various Mario gameplay footages is SO FUNNY yet weirdly fever dream-like

[@thelobsterlover9449]

The best part is that the soundtracks used are from sonic games that were released around the same year as the mario game they're playing over. That is some serious attention to detail!

Nintendo should add these Mario challenges that NB does as fun, challenging post game content for replay value. Adjusting the levels to make this possible. Beat every level backwards would be easy for them to implement.

Same but in reverse for SMW. You don't have two levels to try because you have control of Mario in the "opening" (where the text box appears), immediately touching grass.

Did you call Mario a "they?" Mario's pronouns are he/him/his!

[@Gramini]

@@SeanWheeler100 Using my high quality reading skills I came to the conclusion that the "they" refers to the player(s). Also IIRC "they" can be used as a wildcard, even for a single individual. While that may sound weird, it's perfectly valid English grammar.

[@Mike99wastaken]

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.
