Redditor TestZero posted a list of ten bits of Super Mario Bros. 3 trivia from Imgur this weekend. And even after watching basically every DidYouKnowGaming and spending entirely way too much time on the internet in general, I didn’t know most of these.
Here are my favorites:
The Koopa Kids are named and based on several influential musicians. Lemmy Kilmister, Ludwig von Beethoven, Roy Orbison, Wendy O. Williams, Iggy Pop, Larry Mullen Jr. and Morton Downey Jr.
