Playing Mario 3 as a kid, were you driven insane by this inaccessible *secret block* off the side of the cloud areas? Have you wondered what's inside this block? The answer is tied to an NES quirk and the unintuitive way that scrolling works in SMB3! πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡


The cause of the peach colored block on the cloud levels is the same reason you will often see incorrectly colored objects on the right-most edge of the screen in other levels of Super Mario Bros 3.

Videos and explanation over on Twitter (sorry, GameJolt articles do support video... πŸ‘Ž)

An NES crossover!

The Kraken from my first NES game, "From Below", will make a cameo as one of the bosses in my next NES game, "Super Sunny World"🌞

Super Sunny World is a new pixel platformer, and a love letter to the original Super Mario Bros.πŸ„

WISHLIST!

I guess everyday is a Friday when it's a #FanArtFriday! This one's my most recent art of Majora's Mask

Here's something you don't see in every NES game:

A platformer with ZAPPER support! Super Sunny World allows a 2nd player to kill enemies with the Zapper Gun.
