Supper Mario Broth

@mariobrothblog.bsky.social

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Burning Rangers (Saturn) (1998)

2/2

Tillis hitching a ride on the side of an adorable dolphin friend, looking all cute and stuff while swimming through the beautiful azure water.
I can almost imagine Sonic the Hedgehog surfing past them and splashing them carelessly while snickering at them 'coz he's so cool.

Lead Phoenix, the bright haired and aptly named leader of the team finds himself in front of a bulkhead door and, upon managing to open it sees the room on the other side having a few small flames going, promptly turns around and nopes the hell out of there.

Shou and Lead standing at the bow of a ship, looking at the infinite blue horizon and the beautiful fluffy clouds above, standing suspiciously far apart from one another, neither able to summon up the courage to step closer so they could hold hands, so they just decide to be manly men and look cool.

One of the boss fights with a large cyan robo-fish monster with yellow fins and purple eyes swimming near the surface of a huge flooded hangar while Tillis is standing on a very flimsy looking mesh of a floating platform, trying to remember all those catchy training slogans about fighting fire with fire when there's nothing but water and a very angry robot fish trying to eat her.

Burning Rangers GO!

Burning Rangers (Saturn) (1998)

1/2

One of the new recruits in the Burning Rangers elite firefighting unit, Shou Amabane, a young buckaroo wearing a red and white jacket, a jetpack with wings and a pew pew gun that extinguishes fires.
He is eagerly running head first into danger in this power plant that's all kinds of demolished but lit by all the colors of the rainbow so it looks like a cool nightclub.

The other new recruit, the upbeat and cheerful Tillis, a redhead girl wearing an orange body suit and winged backpack, currently swimming in the flooded part of an underwater research lab usually reserved for marine plants and all the colorful little fishies swirling around her.
It looks so nice I'd love to live there, aside from the no air part that is.

Tillis running through a glass covered underwater tunnel basked in the deep blue color of the ocean with floating red crystals scattered about, almost masking the huge security robot that someone thought to paint in the very same deep blue color, making it kinda hard to see, if it weren't for its cylindrical "hat" with a visor that makes him look like a duck with one squinting eye.

Tillis finding one of the survivors and activating the teleporter rescue beam that just looks like a rainbow-colored cylinder enveloping the person, which some vocal internet critics of the Burning Rangers elite team accuse them of deliberately turning people gay.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 🎶

The totally valid SNES nostalgia for a generation. And the gateway to Onett, Narshe, and Porre I'll always be grateful for. 💜

anyways new years is fun but it also doesn't mean anything. Years are fake, don't over think it. It's not a start of some new fresh slate, it's the continuation of yesterday.
