When I get really involved in a video game, I actively search for information regarding that game, both to gain an advantage and to expand my knowledge for fun. So why not share some of what I've discovered?

Mario trivia! Let's-a-go!

In the original Super Mario Bros., Lakitu doesn't throw Spiny eggs as the developers intended him to. According to The Cutting Room Floor, "The Spiny eggs are thrown by Lakitu in a simple way, with no horizontal movement whatsoever. However, this is not the intended behavior, and is actually the result of a bug! The eggs are supposed to be thrown out relative to the player's speed, Lakitu's speed, the player's position, and a pseudo-random value, as well as bounce off of any blocks or walls that they hit on the way down."
