Miscellaneous Observations

I go over miscellaneous observations that I’ve accumulated over the years, which are from both my own investigations and from being informed by other people (e.g. Tyler Kehne, Peter Fedak, Dennis, bad_boot, Ethan White, Plush, 1ted59).

Usually when I learn something interesting, I'll make a video about it (e.g. how sleeping/blinking works, that the DDD manta ring index resets after 10,000). However, I often encounter things that are just a little interesting, but not so much as to warrant their own video. In these cases, I'd just jot it down in my notes for later. Since this list of semi interesting observations accumulated so much, I figured I'd finally make them all into their own video.

Note that I deliberately excluded the following observations:
(1) Ones that are already present on The Cutting Room Floor (http://bit.ly/2xSNedR)
(2) Ones that are already well known (e.g. the old-style Mario and Bowser graphics on the final pillars in BitS, that the CCM racing penguin gets larger after 120 stars)
(3) Ones that I’ve covered elsewhere (e.g. the mystery goomba, the new impossible coin)
I’ve excluded these because this video is meant to highlight things that I haven’t really seen be covered elsewhere, and is not meant to cover things that are already commonly known or accessible.

For convenience, here are the timestamps of the sections of the video:
00:00 Misleading Objects
02:03 Miscellaneous Object/Geometry
06:58 Textures
08:47 Entering and Exiting
11:15 Testing Doing Various Things
13:50 Mistakes
16:18 Miscellaneous

Corrections:
(1) As SuperM789 ! pointed out, it's meant to take 31 stars to access the second toad, not 30. I forgot to account for the DDD sub star blocking the entrance to BitFS.
