Loading...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! 🧵👇
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... 👎)

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
When making games on the NES, nothing is easy!
With a LOT of help from the #nesdev Discord, I was able to clean up the seam above the status bar.
Also there's some new (temp) art, and I even perform the forbidden mid-frame palette update for extra colors!
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.🍄
WISHLIST!
