So you know how lots of birds just find humans really sexy? Like how they're constantly trying to seduce humans, and if you have pet birds there's whole guides for how to not give your bird mixed signals and make them think you're their mate, and how they keep trying to drive off the partners of their owners/carers as rivals

And people who own or live near these types of birds just kind of have to live with this, like they just gotta accept that that's how birds are and work around it

I like to think that that's how gods feel about the tiresome human propensity to worship them at the drop of a hat

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, some objects in the background, such as Peach's Castle at the beginning of the first level, appear to shift slightly in perspective as the camera scrolls by, to increase the sense that the scene is three-dimensional despite the gameplay only being confined to a two-dimensional plane.

However, due to the game using orthographic projection (a manner of rendering where objects are not distorted by perspective), the standard way of implementing this effect - to simply place the object at a distance to the camera and pan it across, letting the perspective shift naturally - is not actually possible. Instead, the designers used a trick where objects that need to shift simply rotate along a central axis as the camera moves back and forth. The effect is slightly optically inaccurate but subtle enough to mistake for true perspective shifting during gameplay.

By modifying the game's code to add a multiplier to the rotation value, it becomes easily visible, revealing the trick. Note how the castle stands still when the camera is not moving, and rotates in the opposite direction of the camera movement.
