We all know that the SMK engine can keep on surprising you with scenarios that are
not supposed to be possible. After having played the game for literally thousands of hours, naturally you develop a keen sense of logic of how things normally behave within the framework of the game. But due to it's patchy programming (ok let's call it creative programming, to be more positive
), exceptions to this 'normal' game behaviour happen almost every session. The idea of this topic is to capture those and share them with everyone. For me a large part of the beauty of SMK lies in experiencing these freak incidents.
I'm not sure if a similar topic already exists, I had a quick look, but didn't readily find one.
I think this topic could be fun, but it'd also be cool to try and understand why something happened like it did.
For instance, did you know it is possible to get picked up by Lakitu while you are within bounds and on the road? This happened to me recently and I certainly don't recall ever seeing it before...a video will follow later!
Other things that can be put in this topic are things like Matt Ballard's famous claim of never getting ghosts on Rainbow Road*, crazy red shell behaviour or CPUs getting stuck in a spot indefinitely. Looking forward to your contributions!
*perhaps specific to his NTSC cartridge? Anyway this is something that is yet to be explained. I would love to see a video of that phenomenon too, if you're reading this Matt!
