  The moments where Miyamoto chooses to end his suspension of disbelief never fail to crack me up. Dinosaurs throwing turtle shells at mushroom headed people while racing karts is reasonable, but them going underwater while doing it is not.

  GBA gave lots of Newgrounds Flash Animations the sprites they needed to make timeless gems, Smash Kingdom and Super Mario Bros Z come to mind.

  Oh I see, so when Wario craps his pants in public it's cool and mischievous, but when I do it I get the cops called on me.

  I have to remind myself sometimes that the GBA was only around for 3 years before the DS released. It always felt more significant than that.

  I&apos;ve been following DYKG since their posts on tumblr in 2012. Love how they grew from a page that posted VG factoid images to a full-blown investigative journalism team. Love the videos!

  Can confirm, as a 9 year old I was EXTREMELY confused by the aesthetic and musical changes from Wario Land 3 to 4 😂

  Interesting to hear that the grotesque boss designs in Wario Land 4 were meant to make the game feel more western. To me, that kind of thing feels extremely Japanese.
