The lyrics in Rawest Forest isn't "All you do is follow these path turns", it's "All you do is follow these PATTERNS".

Almost every single resource and write up on the internet incorrectly claims it's the former, but even if you can't hear it in Rawest Forest (which is still kind of obvious to me) it's clear as day in the original version of the song that it sampled:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3aWAmSpF6E

This has bugged me for nearly 20 years because "path turns" is a phrase that makes no sense at all, and I don't know why nobody bothers to get it right.

Those are fanmade lyrics. The original game music track doesn't have vocals.

Seeing "path turns" in the wild and it's irritating me.

"path turns" is only slightly more awkward linguistically, and it fits with the meter much better than "patterns." To the point that "these patterns" shouldn't be the lyrics and "these path turns" should. So, uh, sorry OP, not worsening the song by implementing your feedback.

How about the lyric "I don't wanna marrymore I wanna marry mario" where she clearly says his name as "marry-o" which is painfully wrong, but it's also perfect alliteration, so it would be even more painful to say it the right way

marry-o is probably the correct way to say his name. Marry-o lemeugh (Sp) marry-o Andretti, etc. the only time I ever hear the name Mar E Oh is in relation to this video game character

They better make the frog coin where you jump off Toads head not be missable anymore. That shit was so dumb.

Hey the other roads are two pixels shorter so fuck you.

And us boomers would love a small increase in jump timing. I have never gotten 100 :(


biggest thing for me by miles.

Either make the window much much easier, or make one of the new accessories in the game so that you never miss jump, and it counts it toward the Super Suit

Never met a Marry-o in real life but I've met several Mar-ee-ohs. Pretty sure the latter is "correct" but obviously it depends on the individual.

Apparently they are going to make a new version because of the game remake news.

Hopefully they remove the slurs this time.

They don't. "Path turns" takes longer to say than "patterns." There is more to meter than "which syllable is stressedest" and "how many syllables are there"

I'm pretty sure there isn't, and regardless, it's pretty easy and normal to slightly exaggerate the length of syllables

The second most dickish thing about the Toad coin is that you can get a treasure seeker ring way later in the game that will play a beep if you're in a place with a hidden treasure chest. So if you don't know you lost out on it, you'll end up searching high and low in that area for nothing.

jump on toads head the first time you get to Mushroom Kingdom, as he runs the entrance hall at the back jump up and forward. Youll land on a ledge before above the door with a hidden chest.

If you miss either reset the room by leaving the castle and walking back in, or reload the save.

Yeah, you can literally only get it on your first visit to the castle

But thanks to my obsessive need to get strategy guides as a kid, I knew about it
