Since the fandom's gonna get #MiloMurphysLaw and #RenewMML trending on Twitter, I would like to promote this fanfic of mine:
El Milonga de Murphy
(I got this already promoted on @dumbausfromdanville, but this post will get tagged, and hopefully will reach search results on Tumblr. Hopefully)
"The gang discovers Amanda's passion for tango, as a tango dance competition is coming. Wanting to finally try it, she and Milo sign up, when two familiar rivals claim they can do better and force them in a bet. Moreover, a scathing remark makes Milo question if he really is good enough for Amanda..."
Main pairing is Milo/Amanda.
You can read this on FanFiction.Net, Archive of Our Own, and the Milo Murphy's Law Wiki.
As of the writing of this post, this fic consists of 7 chapters, with more to be added in the future.
Top: in Donkey Kong Bananza, the elephants in the Tempest Layer are a community of weather forecasters. While at first this appears to be simply a deliberately odd combination, similarly to the zebra ice cream makers or snake sculptors found elsewhere in the game, this may actually be based on a real-world scientific fact about elephants.
Bottom: it was long suspected and finally confirmed in a 2014 study that, using a combination of not yet understood subtle signs in the environment, elephants are able to predict rainfall from 150 miles away and migrate towards it to increase chances of finding food and water. It is theorized that the mechanism of their detection involves their acute hearing and an ability to sense atmospheric pressure changes.
Whether this connection is deliberate or merely a remarkable coincidence is unknown.

In Level 5-2 of Yoshi's Story, Lots O' Fish, the first Special Heart is found in a room with many Cheep Cheeps, which normally all need to be defeated for the heart to spawn.
However, due to a bizarre glitch, if the player enters the room through the pipe, immediately exits it, and then reenters it again, the heart will spawn immediately instead of requiring the Cheep Cheeps to be defeated, as seen in the footage.

It really irritates me when people refer to MML season 2 as "The Doof Show" or claim that Doof completely took over the show because that isn't true, and I don't understand how anyone who has actually seen every episode could believe that it is. Of the 36 post-crossover episodes, only half had Doof play a major role. There were 3 episodes where his role was pretty minor, 5 where he was relegated to cameos, and 10 where he didn't show up at all. Additionally, in almost every episode he played a major role in (a majority of which were multi-plot episodes where he was just part of one plot), his plot has him share the spotlight with at least one other character

Snow Way Out: A plot focuses on Milo and Zack; B plot focuses on Cavendish and Dakota; C plot focuses on Melissa; Doof only makes a cameo.

Episodes where Doof doesn't appear:

Milo's World
Ride Along Little Doggie
Cavendish Unleashed
The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event
The Mid-Afternoon Snack Club
Episodes where Doof only makes cameos:
Snow Way Out
Picture Day
Game Night
Pace Makes Waste
Dog Walker, Runner, Screamer
Episodes Doof plays minor roles in:

Multi-plot episodes where Doof is just one of the main characters in one of the plots (like in most of P&F):
Cake 'Splosion
The Ticking Clock
Milo's Shadow
Sick Day
Now I am a Murphy
Abducting Murphy's Law
The Dog Who Knew too much
Look at this Ship
Safety First
Parks and Wreck
Escape
Milo in Space
Single-plot episodes Doof plays major roles in:
The Goulash Legacy
Adventure Buddies
Cast Party
Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space (starts as the previous category)
Episodes where Doof is the main focus but another character also has some spotlight:
Agee Ientee Diogee
Episodes where Doof is the sole focus character:
Doofâs Day Out
Milo, Melissa, and Zack each had more major roles (30, 24, and 24 respectively) and fewer absences (0, 3, and 4 respectively) than Doof, so the notion that Doof usurped the show from them does not make sense to me at all.
In Wario World, pillars to the left and right of the entrances to the worlds have symbols roughly representing the themes of the worlds:
-World 1, Excitement Central, has mushrooms due to taking place in a forest
-World 3, Thrillsville, has wind gust spirals representing cold winds due to taking place in the mountains
-World 4, Sparkle Land, has stars due to its "magic" theme
However, World 2, Spooktastic World, has hearts, which may be confusing as it is a horror-themed location; a player may be expecting e.g. skulls instead.
The meaning becomes clear, however, when looking at its original Japanese name: ăăăăăŻăźăŤă (Doki-Doki World, "doki-doki" being the onomatopoeia for a heartbeat). The hearts are supposed to represent a heart pounding due to fear, which is only fully apparent in conjunction with the name and may be lost to international audiences.

Super Mario World concept art only ever shown once, extremely briefly, during a montage in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, while the camera was panning across it. Here is the artwork stitched together from all frames showing it, at the highest resolution available from the video.

In Donkey Kong 64, a bizarre corner case occurs with the switches inside the giant mushroom in Fungi Forest. All switches must be hit to cause a series of cannons to appear; however, if the player happens to either exit the level or save and quit within 2/3rds of a second after shooting the final switch, the game will save the flag for "the switches have been hit" to the save file, but never actually spawn the cannons.
This will cause that save file to not be able to be fully completed. As such, it is recommended for casual players to never quit out of levels or shut down the game too quickly after completing a puzzle, and instead wait for any subsequent cutscenes to finish first and only then do so.

I love pre-pilot Perry, he's kinda dorky looking in a good way lol
His rounder body, he's grumpy face, his big flippers. I can imagine how awkward this Perry could move
Look at that little Micheal Jackson looking pose. His green tinted body has a 90s vibe that I love. I'd read a comic book about early concept Perry and Mittelshirtz
The he's hanging upside down, reading a book. And it's "Defusing For Dummies". His awkward looking face. Again the green is a vibe. I find the black shading on his body weirdly charming. Also pink tail lol
I love that he's not using technology here or anything he's just flipping a boat over and hurling himself at Mittelshirtz. His angry little eyes and scowl. And his feets, look at his cute little peets.
I think it's his big round eyes and really exaggerated bill that's so charming. I love his round body. His face is like: welp đ. pink tail
His face, again his face aughg. His space suit is SO CUTE. He's trying to float towards this chord or something. HIS TUMMY
Damn Norm you look rough- I mean I love that Perry is just covering his robot eyes. Again not using high tech tools, just his wits. Angry little face. So round. Pink tail
The original storyboards for the North American 2010 commercial for Super Mario Galaxy 2 contain a piece of Super Mario Bros. fan art from DeviantArt.
Top: the storyboards, recovered from internal files of the ad agency.
Middle: zooming in on the frame with the TV reveals an image of Super Mario Bros. in 3D.
Bottom: this is the 2008 fan art "Nintendo 3D Mario" by DeviantArt user "NES--still-the-best", which was extremely popular and commonly reposted online at that time.

He's just staring Niagara Falls. No there's no backstory for this aside from he simply has "always wanted to see Niagara Falls." And it's implied that he stares like this for HOURS. He just loves it, no explanation. It's amazing
One of my favorite things about biology is that there are so many diagrams like this that look like shitposts if you remove any and all context from them
