The Execution of King Minos ARTIST: UNKNOWN (CIRCA. 20TH-22NDc.)

A cross-promotion between Dr. Pepper and Nintendo in 2004 included a website with a segment called "Wario Cheat of the Day". Unfortunately, none of the cheats that were displayed there have been preserved, so that the only evidence that remains is the image used for the box that would have contained the cheats.

A part of an interview with current Bowser voice actor Kenneth W. James, recounting the recording of the Meowser voice for Super Mario 3D World. He describes the voice as being so difficult to keep up performing that by the end of the recording, he could taste blood.

Super Mario Drive, a 1993 battery car from Japan. Despite the nonstandard striped mushroom design and Yoshi's expression creating the impression of this being an unlicensed product, this ride is in fact officially licensed.

What is there to be said? Ten years ago this game changed my life, and inspired me to become an artist. I fell in love with a series on a level I never had before or since. I love you, Splatoon!!!

What’s the most niche Splatoon lore you know?

by me saying the niche lore, it ironically stops being niche. I think the stuff that stays niche despite me talking about it is info about like. graffiti. ppl dont care as much about graffiti. so here's something absurdly obscure about one piece of graffiti, that from here on will become slightly less obscure.

remember this guy from the ROTM trailer? cute piece of graffiti. known as FLDRHTS-FOAB at Hotlantis. in english we can easily assume FOAB=Fish on a Bike. but apparently this fish guy has an actual punny name in japanese! and the way JP fans had to find out what its name is is fucking batshit. at hotlantis in JP it's called HI-CKU, with HI being short for the JP name of flounder heights, and CKU is....??? people weren't 100% sure. people didnt learn its name until midway thru 2023, when this guy appeared on some merchandise for a Splatoon 3 lottery at 7-11. so the fish guy's name is on this packaging right?

no. it's not. you wanna know the only place where this fucking fish's name is????

its on the box for the entire merch lot. i'm pretty sure you would have to either be a 7-11 employee or somehow personally buy up all the lottery prizes from the source to get this box. (image source)

these boxes is how JP fans were able to learn that this fish on a bike graffiti is named Charikogiuo チャリコギウオ. there's probably something i'm missing with this pun, but I know charinko is another word for a bicycle and uo is fish. people joke about the absurdity of splatoon lore drops in limited time exhibits or japanese magazines that would never be seen by english fans if it wasnt for me translating it WINK WINK but this shit is beyond parody. deserves a prize for being both extremely pointless and coming from a terrible source.
