Арриго Минерби ( 10 февраля 1881 , Феррара — 9 мая 1960 , Падуя ) — итальянский скульптор . Родился 10 февраля 1881 года в еврейской семье в Ферраре , под руководством скульптора Луиджи Леньяни посещал курсы декоративно-прикладного искусства в Ферраре в школе Доссо Досси . Он работал керамистом, декоратором, тренером и штукатуром в Ферраре, во Флоренции (где он совершенствовал свое мастерство в Академии изящных искусств ) и в Генуе (из этого периода следует помнить гигантского Нептуна из железа и бетона 1910 года в Монтероссо ).
В возрасте 35 лет он переехал в Милан , где в 1919 году устроил для критиков и публики выставку своих работ в галерее Пезаро. Эта выставка также успешно гастролировала до 1920 года. Regionale di Ferrara, возвращение в Милан в 1922 году перед поездкой на Primaverile Fiorentina, и, наконец, его пригласили на Венецианскую биеннале , где он выставил свою серебряную группу «Тайная вечеря» (сейчас в Соборе Осло ). 14 июня 1925 года в Парко делле Римембранзе на Бондено он представил свой «Мадре» как памятник погибшим в Первой мировой войне. Он стал почетным гражданином Бондено, хотя это было отменено из-за фашистских расовых законов и повторно присвоено только в 2004 году. После Второй мировой войны Минерби работал в основном для католических церквей и кладбищ (в Милане, Риме, Рапалло , Пьяченце , Падуе , Коппаро).
Arrigo Minerbi (February 10, 1881, Ferrara - May 9, 1960, Padua) was an Italian sculptor. Born on 10 February 1881 into a Jewish family in Ferrara, under the guidance of the sculptor Luigi Legnani he attended arts and crafts courses in Ferrara at the Dosso Dossi school. He worked as a ceramist, decorator, trainer and plasterer in Ferrara, in Florence (where he perfected his skills at the Academy of Fine Arts) and in Genoa (from this period the giant iron and concrete Neptune of 1910 in Monterosso should be remembered).
At the age of 35, he moved to Milan, where in 1919 he staged an exhibition of his work for critics and the public at the Pesaro Gallery. This exhibition also toured successfully until 1920. Regionale di Ferrara, returning to Milan in 1922 before traveling to the Primaverile Fiorentina, and finally being invited to the Venice Biennale, where he exhibited his silver group The Last Supper (now in Oslo Cathedral). On 14 June 1925, in the Parco delle Rimembranze in Bondeno, he presented his Madre as a monument to those killed in the First World War. He became an honorary citizen of Bondeno, although this was revoked due to fascist racial laws and was only re-granted in 2004. After World War II, Minerbi worked mainly for Catholic churches and cemeteries (in Milan, Rome, Rapallo, Piacenza, Padua, Copparo).

A compilation of things I have said while playing the Thousand Year Door Remake and talking to myself:
Spoilers ahead
Prologue and Chapter 1:
“THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOOOR! THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR IS REEEEAAAAAAL
“Koopas are people too.”
“Gay. Gay. Homosexual. Gay.”
“I found the peach fankoopa and my mind’s eye gave him comic book guy’s voice”
“How does Koops’ hoodie work with his shell?”
“NAKED GRANDMA!” (During the thwomp quiz)
*doodlebob noises*
“I can defend Goombas having hair. Mushrooms can have hairlike features (see Lion’s Mane mushrooms). Mushrooms also have mycelium which is threadlike and can be compared to hair. Goombas are also mushrooms and therefore more related to animals than plants. Conclusion; goombas are mammalian. How koopa hair?”
“I don’t like Ms Mowz height compared to Mario especially during the kiss”
“YOU EAT PEOPLE”
“MY HEAAAAAARRRRT”
“What is my purpose” “You simp for a human” “Oh my god.”
“Oh my god I just remembered the most lovely animated game grumps moment”
“To egg or not to egg. That is the question.”
“A thought has occurred to me that the hair on koopas is probably more like thin spines that resemble hair, possibly being like quills on a porcupine (used to administer poison to something that tries to grab it). Or potentially because reptiles and birds are so similar (this is also true of Koopas given some can be born with wings) their hair is more like feathers that are thin enough to resemble hair”
“I just think baby yoshi with down feathers to keep warm is adorable “
Chapter 2
“Also met Flurry and my mind’s eye gave her Rarity’s voice”
“This tree is NOT osha regulated”
“…who’s gonna tell bowser that this isn’t princess peach-“
“That’s not very cash money of you, Kammy.”
Chapter 3
“…I hate gambling.”
“Who do ya need me to kill?”
Flurry expresses uncertainty. “I’m liking the sound of this, who do we have to kill?”
“This is the ugliest room I have ever seen, my eyes are bleeding”
“I just realized that this is Rock Hawk’s locker room. thERE IS CARPET IN IT! NOOOO”
“Have to pick between Kringus or Child Soldier for Yoshi Name”
“I went with C.S. Short for Child Soldier”
“I smell a coverup.”
“I don’t trust this fedora wearing goon. I know his secret already it’s a matter of the characters learn it”
“…is rawkhawk stupid?”
“He just blatantly admitted to cheating in front of a massive audience, cameras and probably the entire world.”
Chapter 4 (favorite so far)
“I barely started and the people being turned into pigs is genuinely freaking me out”
And I’m also sad because I gave a mother a peach item so she can feed her children because she can’t afford food. And then she turned into a pig. I’m freaked out.”
“That Doopliss bastard is going to pay for his mass mutilation.”
“Doopliss your prank idea sucks and you don’t know what irony means. Irony would be them being constantly gloomy but then being horrifyingly happy to an unnerving degree”
“Thanks goombella. I saved your mycelium skin from creeps. Thanks, Koops, I literally saved your dad. Thanks, Flurrie, I returned your prized necklace. Thanks, Child Soldier, I RAISED YOU!”
“I do love how his thumbs up could just be a weird middle finger”
The game letting me name Doopliss “BASTARD” and “Cunt”
“But god crow conversation is dull.”
“I know the smart idea is to just leave but I can never pass up the chance to call Doopliss a plank”
Side note, I am American, I just think Plank is a funny insult.
Chapter 5
“Professor Frankly you’re not supposed to break the fourth wall.”
“‘By default! My favorite way to win!’ -Luigi Mario, 2004, probably”
*whisper* “i know who you aaaare.”
“My wife died while I was on a voyage.” “That’s rough, buddy.”
“Flavio… bro. S.S. means Steam Ship.”
*me doing my best peter griffin impression* “ghosts”
*titanic recorder music*
“Mario like ‘mama fucker. I forgot my extensive duct tape and cling wrap collection. If we’re hungry enough we eat Flavio first.’”
“I told you lot to kill and butcher flavio for when we’re starving. Now he’s picking fights?!”
“Pussies.”
“That was the plan, Moinseur Deficit!”
“I hit the whacka and I’m wondering if I killed him-“
“…Bobbery has a mouth?”
“Hey, you, you’re finally awake”
“We hate you too, Flavio.”
“We’re piratin’ boys!”
“I gotta eat the science dude that’s a bad”
“Oh no, Hayzee what did Mr. Bottom Bunk’s clumsiness do to you?”
“Honestly Luigi, I think Grass was the role safest for everyone involved-“
Chapter 6 so far:
“boy I love getting caught up with the mafia in my family friendly mario games”
“When did you become british??”
“Have you ALWAYS been British??”
“That’s a terrible name. How about ‘Soup’s Fucked?’”
“Now back to my hunch! Hmmmmmmm”
“More like ace defective.”
“At the risk of immodesty you look quite ‘kick the baby’ shaped”
“Alright, Shuichi Saiharain’t”
“…that’s sexist.”
Expect a reblod with more statements of varying degrees of humor.

3D Animation.
3d animation in my opinion is the means of moving an object in a 3d plane in a sequence while the movement is seamless making a 3D animation.
examples of 3D shows / movies
Murder drones
Tumblr media
Murder drones (My favorite show ever made)is also a show on youtube that was started by a team called glitch productions. MD is set on a post-apocalyptic copper 9, an exoplanet owned by the megacorporation JCJenson in SPAAAAACE that exploded due to the planet core collapsing killing all life on the planet except the worker drones (robots used by JCJenson in SPAAAAACE) they finally got themselves a life, but their parent company (JCJenson in SPAAACE) did not like the idea of runaway robots, as a result they sent "murder drones" to take out the worker drones". the murder drones operate by ingesting the oil of worker drones to not overheat. Murder drones was made using maya with post-production being done in unreal engine.
2. The Amazing Digital Circus
Tumblr media
The Amazing Digital Circus is also a 3d show on youtube made by Glitch productions, not much is known at the moment as there is only one episode. It was made in Maya but this is only speculation as it is not properly stated buy glitch productions, but is because of the works of Murder drones we can assume it was made with maya and a little bit of maya. after releasing the first episode it experienced a huge growth of fans after the trends in tiktok depicting this image.
Tumblr media
3. Shrek
Tumblr media
Shrek was a 3D Movie made back in 2001 by DreamWorks as an American animated fantasy comedy film partially based on the 1990 children's picture book of the same name by William steig. The film's success helped establish DreamWorks Animation as a competitor to Pixar in feature film computer animation.
4. The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Tumblr media
The super Mario Bros. Movie The Super Mario Bros, Movie is a 2023 American animated adventure comedy film based on Nintendo's Mario video game franchise. Produced by Universal Pictures, Illumination, and Nintendo, and distributed by Universal Studios. In the movie Mario and Luigi who have just started their own plumbing business try to stop a flood in Brooklyn but after investigating Luigi gets sucked into the iconic green pipe followed by Mario then get warped to another world while Luigi gets dropped off at the Dark lands, and Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom where he meets toad and princess peach that trains Mario to take down Bowser the main antagonist and save Luigi.
5. UP
Tumblr media
UP was made in 2004 by director Pete Docter. He developed the idea of a flying house on the thought of escaping from life when it becomes too irritating(which came from his difficulty with social situations growing up).

Blu-ray Reviews - Project: Alf / The Super Mario Bros. Movie
This week I got to review not one but two blu-rays that brought me back to my tween years!
Project: Alf
In Sept. 1986, one of my favorite sitcoms of the 80s premiered on NBC. In a similar way that Mork and Mindy combined sci-fi and comedy, Paul Fusco’s sitcom creation Alf did the same. Gordon Shumway from the planet Melmac crash lands on Earth in the garage of the suburban Tanner family. Given the nickname Alf (for Alien Life Form), the family realizes he’s harmless and decide to take him in. Most of the show was based around the fish-out-of-water situations Alf found himself in. What made Alf so funny was that he was kind of a combination of a vaudeville character and a “Masshole”. For the next 4 years, Alf was my favorite TV show. I was a member of the Alf Fan Club (I got a birthday card each year), had the poster on my wall, had the doll, and whatever else I could get my hands on. It also had several spin-offs: the Alf cartoon, Alf Tales cartoon, the Marvel comic book series, a 1996 TV movie, a 2004 talk show and numerous cameo appearances. Let me go back to that 1996 TV movie. In Feb. 1996, ABC broadcast the made-for-TV movie Project: Alf. It was released on DVD in 2005, but has since been hard to come by. This week it was released on blu-ray by Liberation Hall.

After the series finale, Alf was captured by the Alien Task Force. In this TV movie, Alf has been detained in an air force base, but he’s actually doing well: playing poker games with the guards and whatnot. But his nemesis is Colonel Gilbert Milfoil (Martin Sheen) who tries to have Alf killed, but then some air force scientists help him escape and...hilarity ensues.
Look, the fact of the matter is most of the time TV characters who return to TV with a made-for-TV movie, it is kind of bad (with some exceptions), but since I happen to be a fan of Alf, I kind of liked this even if it was ridiculous at times. The thing that was fun about this is that so much of the series was Alf around the Tanner house and here he is not just at the air force base but out in the world. It’s also a kick to see so many serious actors like Miguel Ferrer, Ed Begley Jr. and of course Martin Sheen acting with Alf. About a year after this movie, I worked on Ted Demme’s film Monument Ave, which Sheen was in. Most of the cast and crew were in awe of Sheen because he had been in Apocalypse Now, but I was excited to know I was working on a movie with someone who co-starred with the old Alfer! It’s cool to see this get the blu-ray treatment for fans like me .

3.5 out of 5 stars
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
When I was a kid, I got into video games at exactly the moment and time when Atari and video arcades were sweeping the nation in the early 80s. One of my favorites was Donkey Kong, and then there was a spin-off game Mario Bros. featuring the plumbers from Donkey Kong, Mario and Luigi. Then a few years later on Nintendo, they had Super Mario Bros., which was so addictive for me as a tween. There were tons of other games featuring these the Mario brothers and loads of spin-offs including the a children’s TV show and a 1993 live-action movie. Then this past Spring saw the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a computer-animated feature film from Illumination (known for Minions) that broke all kinds of box office records (as of this writing it is the highest grossing film of 2023 so far and #14 of All Time domestically).

I went to the movie theater with my son to see it in April, with a mostly family-oriented audience. The movie’s plot is somewhat thin: NY plumbers Mario and Luigi get sucked into the Warp Pipe and sent to Mushroom Kingdom and Dark Lands respectively. They meet loads of characters, some good and some bad. The film was actually better than I thought it would be. It wasn’t amazing and it lacked a lot of the magic that Pixar movies have, but there was a certain charm to it and some funny parts I was able to laugh along with my son to. Much of the fun was the references (notably the music) to the original video games and the voice casting that is a blast for the parents watching, i.e. Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Seth Rogen and more. 
The film is very colorful and filled with impressive visuals, which is what makes this blu-ray worth checking out. In terms of features, there’s some standard featurettes about casting, making-of, a lyric video with Jack Black, and more. But in the end if you aren’t a fan of the movie, it’ll be hard to get excited about all of the extras. But the movie in blu-ray is all the bonus feature you need here!

Enzo Anselmo Giuseppe Maria Ferrari, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI, was born on February 20, 1898. Enzo Ferrari was said to have been born on February 18, 1898 in Modena, Italy and that his birth was recorded on February 20 because a heavy snowstorm had prevented his father from reporting the birth at the local registry office; in reality, his birth certificate states he was born on February 20, 1898, while the birth's registration took place on February 24, 1898 and was reported by the midwife. He was an Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur, the founder of the Scuderia Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team, and subsequently of the Ferrari automobile marque. He was widely known as "il Commendatore" or "il Drake". In his final years he was often referred to as "l'Ingegnere" (the Engineer) or "il Grande Vecchio (the Great Old Man)".
Ferrari's management style was autocratic and he was known to pit drivers against each other in the hope of improving their performance. Some critics believe that Ferrari deliberately increased psychological pressure on his drivers, encouraging intra-team rivalries and fostering an atmosphere of intense competition for the position of number one driver. "He thought that psychological pressure would produce better results for the drivers," said Ferrari team driver Tony Brooks. "He would expect a driver to go beyond reasonable limits... You can drive to the maximum of your ability, but once you start psyching yourself up to do things that you don’t feel are within your ability it gets stupid. There was enough danger at that time without going over the limit."
During the late 1950s and 1960s seven Ferrari drivers were killed driving Ferrari racing cars: Alberto Ascari, Eugenio Castellotti, Alfonso de Portago, Luigi Musso, Peter Collins, Wolfgang von Trips and Lorenzo Bandini. Although such a high death toll was not unusual in motor racing in those days, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano described Ferrari as being like the god Saturn, who consumed his own sons. In Ferrari's defense, contemporary F1 race car driver Stirling Moss commented: “I can’t think of a single occasion where a (Ferrari) driver’s life was taken because of mechanical failure.”
In public Ferrari was careful to acknowledge the drivers who risked their life for his team, insisting that praise should be shared equally between car and driver for any race won. However, his longtime friend and company accountant, Carlo Benzi, related that privately Ferrari would say that "the car was the reason for any success."
Following the deaths of Giuseppe Campari in 1933 and Alberto Ascari in 1955, both of whom he had a strong personal relationship with, he chose not to get too close to his drivers, out of fear of emotionally hurting himself. Later in life he relented his position and grew very close to Clay Regazzoni and especially Gilles Villeneuve.
Enzo Ferrari spent a reserved life, and rarely granted interviews. He seldom left Modena and Maranello and never went to any Grands Prix outside of Italy after the 1950s. He was usually seen at the Grands Prix at Monza near Milan and/or Imola, not far from the Ferrari factory, and named after the late Dino. His last known trip abroad was in 1982 when he went to Paris to broker a compromise between the warring FISA and FOCA parties. He never flew in an aeroplane and never set foot in a lift.
He married Laura Dominica Garello (c. 1900–1978) on 28 April 1923, and they remained married until her death. They had one son, Alfredo "Dino", who was born in 1932 and groomed as Enzo's successor, but he suffered from ill-health and died from muscular dystrophy in 1956. Enzo had a second son, Piero, with his mistress Lina Lardi in 1945. As divorce was illegal in Italy until 1975, Piero could only be recognized as Enzo's son after Laura's death in 1978. Piero is currently the vice chairman of the Ferrari company with a 10% share ownership.
Made a Cavaliere del Lavoro in 1952, to add to his honours of Cavaliere and Commendatore in the 1920s, Ferrari also received a number of honorary degrees, the Hammarskjöld Prize in 1962, the Columbus Prize in 1965, and the De Gasperi Award in 1987. In 1994, he was posthumously inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.
He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2000.
Ferrari died on 14 August 1988 in Maranello at the age of 90. His death was not made public until two days later, as by Enzo's request, to compensate for the late registration of his birth. He witnessed the launch of the Ferrari F40, shortly before his death, which was dedicated as a symbol of his achievements. In 2002 the first car to be named after him was launched as the Enzo Ferrari.
The Italian Grand Prix was held just weeks after Ferrari's death, and the result was a 1–2 finish for Ferrari, with the Austrian Gerhard Berger leading home Italian and Milan native Michele Alboreto; it was the only race that McLaren did not win that season. After Ferrari's death, the Scuderia Ferrari team has had further success, winning the World Drivers' Championship in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 with Michael Schumacher, 2007 with Kimi Räikkönen, and the Constructors' Championship in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008.

Todos os filmes em que as cenas de sexo foram para valer
A Bula reuniu em uma lista todos os filmes da história do cinema nos quais os atores se envolvem em atos sexuais reais, não simulados. A diferença entre esses longas e a pornografia é que, embora possam ser considerados eróticos, a trama deles não é meramente pornográfica. Ao todo, a lista conta com 264 títulos.

A Bula reuniu em uma lista todos os filmes da história do cinema nos quais os atores se envolvem em atos sexuais reais, não simulados. Nos Estados Unidos, esse tipo de cena era proibido no cinema convencional, mas a partir dos Anos 1960 os cineastas começaram a ultrapassar os limites. A diferença entre esses longas e a pornografia é que, embora possam ser considerados eróticos, a trama deles não é meramente pornográfica. A maioria deles foi lançada nos anos 1970 e 80, com predominância de dois diretores: o espanhol Jesús Franco e o italiano Joe D’Amato. Por repetidas vezes, também aparecem os nomes de cineastas consagrados atualmente, como Lars von Trier, Gaspar Noé e Yorgos Lanthimos.

Gianni Nicchi - Palermo City - Pagliarelli - Mafia Siciliana
is a member of the Sicilian Mafia. Despite his young age – he is nicknamed 'u picciutteddu ("the little boy") – he is considered to be one of the leading mafiosi of Cosa Nostra in Palermo. He was on the "most wanted list" of the Italian ministry of the Interior since 2006, until his arrest on 5 December 2009.
Gianni Nicchi is the son of Luigi Nicchi, a mafioso, who is jailed for life. He is considered to be the current reggente (regent) of the Pagliarelli mandamento, after the arrest of his godfather Antonio Rotolo on 20 June 2006, two months after the arrest of Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano. Authorities issued 52 arrest warrants against the top echelon of Cosa Nostra in the city of Palermo (Operation Gotha). Nicchi escaped arrest.
"Gianni is my godson (Italian: figlioccio), but I tell you, for me it is as if he was my son," Rotolo was overheard saying to another mafioso. "From this day on, you have to know that when you talk to him it is as if you talk to me. It is the same. Police listened in how Rotolo instructed Nicchi how to kill a person.
Nicchi is considered as one of the new powers in Cosa Nostra in Palermo.
Palermo police chief Giuseppe Caruso described Nicchi as "a young man with grey matter and energy ... and ready to rise to the leadership of Cosa Nostra, at least in Palermo." His name is now among the candidate leaders of Cosa Nostra, along with Matteo Messina Denaro and Domenico Raccuglia.
ESPAÑOL
Es un miembro de la Mafia Siciliana. Pese a su edad - su apodo es U picciotteddu (el pequeño soldado) - se considera uno de los principales mafiosos de la Cosa Nostra en Palermo. Él ha estado en la "lista de los más buscados" del ministerio italiano del Interior desde el 2006 hasta su detención ocurrida el 5 de diciembre de 2009 en Palermo.
Gianni Nicchi es el hijo de un mafioso que está encarcelado de por vida. Gianni Nicchi se considera el actual "reggente" (regente), del mandamento de Pagliarelli, después de la detención de su padrino Antonio Rotolo sobre el 20 de junio de 2006, dos meses después de la detención del jefe de la mafia Bernardo Provenzano. Las autoridades emitieron 52 órdenes de detención contra el escalón superior de la Cosa Nostra en la ciudad de Palermo (Operación Gotha). Nicchi logró escapar de la policía y actualmente es un fugitivo.
A pesar de su edad, otros mafiosos han tratado a Nicchi con respeto. El pentito Francesco Campanella recordó cuando el introdujo a Nicchi por Nicola Mandalà, jefe de la mafia Villabate en el año 2004. "Él lo trató con gran estima", asegura Campanella, y Mandalà le dijo: "usted no comprende quién es cuando le llaman picciutteddu u". Campanella entendió que el joven ya fue considerado como un importante miembro la Cosa Nostra.

The Movie List
Hi all, 
As promised, here’s the list. Once a movie has been reviewed, I’ll turn the movie into a link to the review on this list. Any movie we can’t find will be marked with a cross through.

The Gamecube review
So, it has been 18 years since the Gamecube was released and now, with my newfound free time, I can finally review what I’ve experienced from its gaming library. First, I’d like to say that this review is only my opinion, although it might be a bit controversial since I have my own issues with it. Second, I’ll divide the games in some categories for this review.
Tumblr media
Platformers
Gamecube had an abundance of platformers, with most of them being in 3D. It’s a bit like the N64 era, but with even less 2.5 D platformers (aside from Megaman, Viewtiful Joe, or Alien Hominid). I ended up liking most 2.5 D platformers on the console and Donkey Kong:Jungle Beat remains an amazing game, despite being very easy. Due to this oversaturation, most of them tried very hard to stand out by mixing up gameplay mechanics with something “cool” (guns, cars, etc.) to appeal to kids and I ended up not liking those too much, such as Ty, Shadow The Hedgehog, Vexx, etc. Meanwhile, the other games that stayed true to themselves became classics always considered by fans, such as Billy Hatcher & The Giant Egg, Pac-Man World 2, Super Mario Sunshine even though I don’t like that game at all, etc. While I wasn’t really a fan of the direction platformers were taking during that era, which heavily affected their quality, there are still a few diamonds in the rough.
Tumblr media
Adventure/Role-Playing Games
The Gamecube had plenty of adventure games and, despite open-world games becoming more and more of a thing, the Gamecube had very few open-world games. Only The Incredible Hulk:Total Destruction, True Crime, or even GUN were open-world on the consoles. So, more traditional adventure games were put on the console. I really loved The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker for what it was, despite a few problems it had. Starfox Adventures was also decent, but far from great. The Legend Of Zelda:Twilight Princess tried too hard to please its “hardcore gamerz” fanbase and to look cool, so I still found the experience slightly dissapointing. At least some gameplay mechanics. The Resident Evil games were also the only source of adventure-horror games on the console aside from Eternal Darkness, which I think is a really great horror game with lots of interesting ideas. Role-Playing games on the console were also fairly scarce, especially compared to the Playstation 2. They were fine, though. Paper Mario:The Thousand-Year Door was pretty good, although a bit overrated due to some characters’ halted development and some gameplay mechanics I am not a fan of. The Baten Kaitos games look like they could have been on PS2 in terms of quality, and are really good games. I thought the Pokémon games on the Gamecube (XD, Colosseum) were really nothing special both in terms of story and gameplay compared to other RPGs despite trying to appeal to an older audience. Tales Of Symphonia was great and could compete with PS2 RPGs. So yeah, I liked the Aventure games/RPGs of the Gamecube, but most weren’t that extraordinary.
Tumblr media
Shooters
As far as shooters go, there is a big variety of them. Even including a few 2D shoot-em-ups, although only Ikaruga is really fondly remembered. The vast amount of First-Person Shooters on the console wasn’t really that surprising and rarely did any of them try to stand out. Two titles that stood out to me were Metroid Prime 1 and 2. Rather than just focusing on killing the bad guys, there was a vast amount of effort put into exploration and, while the sight of a 3D Metroid game doesn’t instantly make me happy, that’s something I can honestly get behind. I’m glad Retro Studios took their time to create a deeper universe for Metroid. They were a few other shooters, such as Metal Arms:Glitch in the System, but I don’t think that many of them stood out on the Gamecube aside from Killer 7 and P.N. 03, but that game isn’t the best due to its unusual controls. Star Fox: Assault might not have been the best game in the series, but it was still somewhat alright to play and kept the arcade-like spirit of the franchise. Oh, and there’s also Geist, a Nintendo-made First-Person Shooter. Too bad it had a great idea that was better executed elsewhere.
Tumblr media
Fighting games
Unlike the N64, the Gamecube got quite a few good fighting games. Sure, most of them are licensed games, but most of them were really fun. Even better is that Mortal Kombat appeared on the console in 2004. Super Smash Bros. Melee might be rushed, but it still works really well. Custom Robo can also be considered a fighting game, but it has an interesting story mode that’s somewhat darker compared to the happy-go-lucky Nintendo 64 games and can feel like an RPG due to its structure. The 90’s atmosphere is what sold me to this game. As for the licensed titles, anime games based on Naruto or Zatch Bell were fine, but they also weren’t the best fighting games in existence due to a copious amount of problems. This era saw the birth of a bunch of Power Stone clones for some reason (One Piece:Grand Battle, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, etc.), which was a good thing, in my opinion. The only bad thing about it is that Capcom still won’t make Power Stone 3 despite their formula being so successful other companies ripped them off.
Tumblr media
Other
Despite the Gamecube not having a realistic car simulator, it had a good amount of realistic-looking racing games. Too bad I honestly do not care about any of them. F-Zero GX is a fun but somewhat frustrating futuristic racing game. Just be prepared for the mind-crushing difficulty and you’ll have a good time. Mario Kart:Double Dash!! Has some great ideas that kept me hooked for a while, but I’d rather play Mario Kart 8. Kirby Air Ride is probably my favorite racing game on the system: it uses a single button and the joystick to deliver a rather unique experience. I would definitely recommend it. Animal Crossing, on the other hand, is either something you love or just don’t care. I personally think the Animal Crossing novelty wears off after a few weeks, but I still somewhat “like” it. My favorite game on the console has to be Chibi-Robo: a cleaning/simulation/platforming game where you control a small robot that has to clean the Sanderson’s house. It’s weird, charming, and has a unique story that surprisingly ends up being very dark. Luigi’s Mansion was also somewhat dark, yet ended up really being charming and interesting thanks to its nice atmosphere and neat gameplay. As for rhythm games, we only got a few of them, including Dance Dance Revolution:Mario Mix, which only has some neat remixes. Nothing else about it is really worth the price. Speaking of Mario spin-offs, I really didn’t like some of the ones on the Gamecube. Super Mario Strikers has a single unlockable team, Mario Superstar baseball’s mechanics rarely work and the AI might take advantage of that during the single-player mode, Mario Power Tennis’s gimmicks didn’t entertain me enough to prefer the game over the N64 one, Mario Party 4’s mushroom mechanics were somewhat predictable, and Mario Party 7’s mic-enhanced minigames and overall board designs just bored me. That was the time when I stopped caring about Mario spin-offs.
Tumblr media
Overall, I liked the Gamecube’s gaming library, although I didn’t like many aspects of it and had a much better time with the PS2 or even the Dreamcast. I think the Gamecube MIGHT be a bit overrated due to a good amount mainstream gamers growing up with it using their pink nostalgia glasses in order to complain that THEIR era was better than the current era, just like a good amount of previous Nintendo fans complaining on forums about how THEIR era was better back in 2001-2006. It’s an eternal cycle.

(Just need some emotional headcanons right about now): What if Cruz had a small accident when she's training with Lightning one day and she gets amnesia? How would the RS townies (especially Lightning) react and how would they try to regain all her memories?
Oh no, not Cruz!
Fic: Comeback Story
The headlines have a field day with this–Lightning McQueen’s protege getting electrocuted. (And because Guido and Luigi put the hospital on lockdown, after that first shock the press has nothing to occupy themselves with but an overabundance of their own puns.)
At first, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong. The nurses jump her battery and everything comes back online. When her eyes flutter open she sees Lightning and she smiles. She recognizes him. Hamilton needs to be re-installed and–Cruz notes with dismay–her radio pre-sets are scrambled, but that’s not really a problem Lightning can empathize with. She can drive without assistance and and her brakes and transmission all check out. No computer issues. Everything checks out.
“I can’t believe you’re spending so much time with me,” Cruz tells him after the first few days. She bites her lip, looks a little starstruck.
“I mean… Of course,” says Lightning, a little self-conscious. He’s never sure if he’s yet outrun the shadow of who he was his rookie year. Like maybe people still see him as that guy, or maybe when he lets his guard down he is still that guy. “I’m not gonna let you sit in here alone, Cruz.”
“But shouldn’t you be doing your own PT?” she asks.
Lightning cocks a brow.
“That’s why you’re here, isn’t it? At the hospital, I mean. Because of your big crash last week.”
“Cruz, what–” Lightning breaks off. “Cruz, I–”
He stares her down, every bright expectant inch of her. Dread clenches in his heart so hard that it feels like hitting that wall again. “Cruz, it’s–”
His gaze flicks to the doorway, where Luigi and Guido are peering in. “Never mind,” he says tightly. Then he asks Luigi to please go get Cruz’s doctor. 
Now.
She doesn’t remember anything. The last eight months are just gone.
It’s lucky, says the doctor. Electrocution can be wild like that–if it doesn’t burn your circuits irreparably to begin with, and kill you outright. In the scheme of things, eight months is very lucky.
The last patient she had in a similar situation? He lost three years. Had an accident working in his garage and woke up to a Lexus he didn’t recognize, thinking it was 2004. Except it wasn’t 2004. It was 2007, and he was in the middle of a divorce and the Lexus–apparently she’s his girlfriend. The girl who broke his marriage and whom he now cannot remember.
“Yeah, but–” Lightning shrugs.
Yeah, but he doesn’t care about that guy. Yeah, but these eight months weren’t like everyone else’s eight months.They were special, they–
“You’re right.” The doctor sighs. “You’re not like everyone else. Because like I said, Ms. Ramirez is lucky.”
She writes Cruz a reference for a number of follow-up appointments with this or that specialist and sends them on their way.
“Well, obviously,” says Sally, as she maneuvers a push broom around Wheel Well’s trickier sconces. Lightning is supposed to be washing windows, but he’s even worse at it than usual. He keeps getting lost midway, his thoughts falling back to Cruz and forgetting about the soap suds, which leave aggressive streaks on all the windows.
“Things aren’t the same, so of course acting like they are isn’t going to get you anywhere.”
“I don’t know how else to act!” Lightning exclaims. “I thought maybe if I just acted normal, it’d help her–remember, maybe, or something–I don’t know. Am I just supposed to pretend those eight months never happened? She’s not an idiot. She knows that they happened. Or I mean, she knows I know.”
They can’t just start blank slate. Time, memory, whatever you want to call it–it happened, and none of it can be undone. Even if apparently, it can be forgotten. If Lightning could just meet Cruz all over again and start at square one, he’d do it. In a heartbeat. That’s what it had taken after his crash–long months of learning his body again, learning how to make it move. Really move.
That, Lighting can do.
But memory? He and Cruz, it’s like they had their first shot at getting to know each other. There aren’t do-overs. There’s no room for that.
It’s not really memory loss, Lightning figures. Loss implies emptiness which implies a void that can be filled again.
Forgetting takes up too much space.
“Nice job with the windows,” says Sally.
When Lightning snaps to, he’s parked next to an empty bucket and Sally’s the one with the squeegee. He doesn’t remember her taking it.
Cruz makes better friends with the town than she ever was before the accident. Part of it’s they’ve spent so much time here. Tex pulled them from the rest of the Cup season, so they haven’t had anywhere to be. It was the right thing to do–a no-brainer, frankly–but part of Lightning still wanted to shout, No!
No, because if everything is different, then she’ll never remember what it was. Nothing will ever go back to normal.
It’s Mater who reminds him that nothing is ever going to be the same. That’s how time works. Living in a junkyard, he gets real contemplative about stuff like that sometimes, he says. He says it comtem-PLATE-ive.
Cruz is laughing with Flo and Ramone. She’s been interested in painting lately, and Ramone is only too happy to send her out to the junkyard with some of his old paints. She misses her old job at the Center; hasn’t said much at all about racing.
She knows, by know, what those eight months had entailed. Or at least, the public beats of it. Being employed to train Lighting, being in the Florida 500. Racing in the Piston Cup. Lightning hasn’t had the willpower to tell her about the beach, or the school bus of death, or rushing through the Carolina forests, all moon dark.
Cruz is already working on trying not to feel guilty about forgetting. About not caring about that stuff–she can’t; she wasn’t there; her brain now wasn’t there, anyway. The last thing she needs is more guilt.
Maybe it’s better this way, Lightning tells himself. Cruz and Sally are becoming fast friends. It’s not that they hadn’t been pleasant to each other before. But Sally’d always been Lightning’s lawyer, Lightning’s girlfriend. Old Cruz had known Radiator Springs through Lightning, and perhaps by virtue of that had always regarded them at a polite remove. Like he’d been in the way, somehow.
Maybe those memories were roadblocks. Maybe he is a roadblock.
Maybe it’s better this way.
Tastes, temperament. The doctor nods, tapping her front tire on the ground as she lists things off.
Yes, all of those things can change after an electrocution. Electrocution is–
“Wild. Yes, you said that,” says Lightning, impatient.
Electrocution is wild, and the mind is wilder. Sometimes it changes in utterly random, unpredictable ways. Silly ways. Cruz likes Pearl Jam now. She’s thinking of painting herself green, because she doesn’t know if yellow really feels “like her.”
Not that it’s any of Lightning’s business what color Cruz is, but it’s this kind of stupid stuff that makes him want to drive off a cliff. In lieu of a cliff, he resolves to go red again. He doesn’t think he can handle this otherwise.
Lightning feels himself unspooling. Which is unforgivably selfish, because this is Cruz’s issue, this is Cruz’s journey, and this is not about him. But it’s like even his version of those memories begins to fray and tangle. Like maybe now they were only half as real. Like maybe they belonged to some other universe, and their power dwindled as their home planet receded to its outer orbit. (This is a Mater analogy. Something about UFOs. Lightning’s not really sure, but at the time, and in Mater’s words, it had felt like a lot of sense.)
He can feel himself drawing back. Back through the dread, the threat of failure, the frustration. Back to the four months he’d spent sitting in Doc’s garage–Doc’s garage that was still a garage because Lightning hadn’t let them expand the museum, because Lightning is hopelessly slow to let go of things like that.
As the weeks pass and Cruz’s new memories paper ever-thicker over the old ones, Lightning ties his best to keep to that pace.
But he’d needed her. That Cruz. Old Cruz. He’d needed those moments.
He still has them, he reminds himself.
He’s not the one with freaking amnesia.
Sally tells him it’s okay to feel the way he does. “If you really care about someone, and they go through something terrible, it’s natural to feel wrecked, too. Believe me.”
Lightning looks at her, wants to kiss her. Wishes he’d never met her. Wishes he’d never wished about never meeting her, because he knows he cannot live without her. And he knows exactly why Sally might know how he feels. “Sal, I’m so sorry.”
Sally shakes her head. “Stop. I can see you missing the point,“ she says. “Lightning, you have to be kind to yourself.”
Cruz may never recover those memories, says the doctor. If she can build a life without them, then maybe that’s for the best.
“She can,” says Lighting, because he believes that Cruz can do anything. Except, maybe, remember. “She is.”
“So, your doctor is nice,” says Lighting, on the drive home.
“Sure,” says Cruz.
“Nice weather.”
“Lightning, come on.”
Lightning, not Mr. McQueen. Because everyone back home calls him Lightning, so now Cruz does, too. He never imagined his own name could sound so awkward, magically less familiar. He hadn’t even liked being called Mr. McQueen. But he’d liked what they’d had. He can’t help that.
He doesn’t know if he can get over that.
“I’m sorry I don’t talk to you so much,” says Cruz, turning him back to the present. “I guess I just– It feels hard, you know? ‘Cause I know that you and I, we– And I just–”
“I know,” says Lightning.
Maybe if he were older, this wouldn’t be so hard. Eight months weighed against a couple decades–that’s nothing. And they have so much more time to make more memories together. And that’s a positive, right? That’s a bright patch, a silver lining.
It doesn’t make Lightning feel bright, though. It makes him feel old. Now he feels too tired to make friends with Cruz all over again.
He wants what they had.
One night, Cruz wakes up screaming. She doesn’t remember her nightmare.
What she cries about afterwards is this: What if she does remember? One day, after all the work she’s done to be okay with forgetting. To make some new life. What if she does remember and her whole life turns into a giant fork in the road?
“I’d explode,” she sniffs. “But like, you’re supposed to want your memories back. In the movies, that’s what makes everyone happy.”
In Lightning’s mind that’s what makes everyone happy.
“But I can’t just sit around, hoping that maybe that happens. I’m here, and I gotta just–be me, and not keep trying to hold on to the past. Like, I don’t even have it–I can’t hold onto it. But every memory I make, at the back of my mind I keep wondering, what if I do? What it it happens? And every day, every memory, I know I’m just going to make it worse if it ever does happen. And I just–”
“Shhh,” Lightning murmurs. He nudges her side gently and taps a pleasant vibration against her front tire with his own.
There’s not really anything he can say to her, and it seems foolish to try. He’s her crew chief, not like, her fairy godmother. Or a psychic. Or a time traveler. Or God.
But he stays with her. They sit in the dark together and it doesn’t feel like old times but it doesn’t feel like less.
“I think you’ll be okay,” he says eventually. “And you’re definitely not going to explode. So, uh, there’s that.”
Cruz does not believe him. At all. “What if I remember, and I regret leaving all those memories behind? What if I’m just like, shoot, I should have just waited for them to catch up? What if those memories just turn into one big fiery ball of regrets? And then I explode? I mean, you can’t scientifically prove that won’t happen.”
“Oh, never wait for anything to catch up,” Lightning says immediately. “You start doing that, and life’s just gonna lap you.”
“That’s very sage, Mr. McQueen,” says Cruz.
“I think I meant that really, really literally,” Lightning admits. “Wait, what did you just call me?”
“I called you Mr. McQueen,” Cruz repeats sleepily. “I dunno. It just felt right.”
It’s been eight months and thirteen days since Cruz’s accident. The doctor reminds them, once more, that her memories may never return.
But even if they do, there’s no turning back the clock. There’s no “back to normal.” Normal is already here. It’s Cruz’s paintings hanging in Mater’s yard. It’s her late-night jam sessions with Fillmore. It’s being Sally’s best friend. It’s nightmares, all the time, about nothing. It’s that pang of loneliness Lightning feels sometimes, even when Cruz is bouncing right in front of him, even when he’s surrounded by family and friends. It’s that strangeness that never quite leaves.
Because memory is “–wild, I know, you say that every time we come here,” say Lightning and Cruz in unison. The doctor blushes.
There is no going back to the way things were. But, Lightning figures, that’s not what “comeback story” means.
Never has.

Since the world began, we have been surrounded by mysteries. Some are solved by science, but others remain unexplained and might stay unsolved forever. Some are as ancient as humanity, but our fascination with them keeps them timeless. Here are ten such historical unsolved mysteries, to both entertain you and make you wonder.
#1 The Fate of Hitler’s Stolen Wealth This is supposedly the greatest and biggest cache ever: an unimaginable hoard of looted gold bars, jewelry, and foreign currency, with an estimated value of $4 billion. These stolen riches disappeared in the blink of an eye from the vaults of the German Reichsbank. In the decades after World War II, troves of looted valuables were found in Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey, Spain, and Sweden, but they hardly compare in value to Hitler’s supposed hoard. Groups all over the world are still hunting for his treasure, but even after all these years, the question remains: Where is the gold of Hitler? The only sure thing is that the mystery of the treasure remains unsolved, with all its rumors, speculations, and myths still entwined around it. One of the most popular beliefs is that Hitler himself buried it in a secret location somewhere in Deutschneudorf, Germany. Some treasure hunters believe that the plunder is lying at the bottom of Lake Toplitz in Austria, while others suggest that it’s stashed in banks around the world. The only certain thing is that, when there’s nothing but speculation about the location of a $4 billion treasure, it grows into a legend.
#2 The Disappearance of the USS Cyclops The Bermuda Triangle is famous for mysterious disappearances that have taken place there over the years. Even though scientists are nowadays able to provide logical explanations for most of the disappearances in that area, some have never been explained, including the unsolved disappearance of the USS Cyclops, a Proteus-class collier of the US Navy. During the First World War, the USS Cyclops was sent to Brazil to fuel British ships in the South Atlantic. Returning from Rio de Janeiro, she made a brief stop at the island of Barbados, then departed for Baltimore on the 4th of March, 1918. From that time forward, no one saw or heard anything about the Cyclops ever again. The crew and all 306 passengers vanished once and for all, and no trace of them or the ship has ever been found. It remains the single largest non-combat loss of life in U.S. Naval history. Even though American Naval authorities have tried for years to give a logical explanation, the disappearance remains an absolute mystery with many unanswered questions.
#3 Locating the Remains of Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus is probably the most famous explorer of all time, and we know pretty much everything about his life — except for one mystery: After his death in 1509, his remains continued to travel, and we don’t know where they ended up. Originally buried in the Spanish city of Vigiadolid, in 1537 his bones were transferred to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean, in accordance with his wishes. But when the Spanish lost the region to the French in 1795, his remains were transferred to Cuba, where they stayed until the Spanish-American war. They were eventually returned to Seville, Spain, in 1898. The Dominican Republic’s official version, however, claims that the remains of Columbus never left Hispaniola. In 1877, in the Cathedral of Santo Domingo, a box was discovered bearing an inscription stating that the remains inside were those of the “glorious and eminent Cristobal Colon.” A DNA analysis conducted on the bones in Seville, and on those of Columbus’s brother Diego (who is buried in the same city) showed that the two samples matched perfectly. When researchers announced these findings in 2006, the controversy surrounding Columbus’s earthly remains should have come to a definitive end. However, the Dominican Republic openly challenges the results of the DNA testing, and for years has demanded a DNA analysis of the bones in Hispaniola, leaving open a window of doubt.
#4 Secrets of the Phaistos Disc The Minoan Civilization is considered by most historians to be the first organized Western civilization, and it has been named “the first link in the European chain.” The Phaistos Disc, which was discovered in 1908 by Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the ancient city of Phaistos, gave hope to even the least optimistic among us that it would help us understand the Minoan civilization in more detail. But the Phaistos Disc is a global conundrum that has kept its secrets hidden for thousands of years. Suggestions about what its inscription means include a hymn, a prayer, a geometric theorem for the calendar, and the narrative of a story. However, the global scientific community has not been able to confirm any of these. After decades of research, a diverse team of scientists intensively studying the Minoan language and the text of the Phaistos Disc may have come close to solving one of the biggest mysteries of archaeology, but so far the Disc remains an absolutely unsolved mystery.
#5 The “Wow!” Signal It lasted for 37 seconds, and it came from outer space — but what exactly was it? On August 15, 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman, working on a SETI project at Ohio Wesleyan University’s Perkins Observatory, glanced as usual at the prints generated by the radio telescope known as the “Big Ear,” but what he saw this time made him write “Wow!” on the printout. But what did he see exactly that caused such a reaction? According to him, it was the strongest, clearest, and most significant signal ever recorded, and a unsolved mystery that astronomers have been debating for decades. That was thirty-six years ago, and still no one knows what caused the signal or where it came from exactly. The scientific world is unable to provide a clear explanation, strengthening the myth surrounding this case. Even skeptics now wonder if the signal could have been the first human contact with extraterrestrial life.
#6 Genghis Khan’s Final Resting Place In 1206, Genghis Khan united the warring tribes of his region, becoming the leader of the Mongols and creating an empire that reached from China to Hungary. But the location of the tomb of the famous warrior has been a mystery since his death in 1227. According to legend, a group of his loyal followers buried him and then killed all the witnesses. All the soldiers and slaves who were present at the funeral were murdered, and horses trampled the burial site to destroy any traces of it. His loyal subjects are even said to have diverted a river to roll over his grave so it could never be detected. However, the most likely scenario is that Khan was buried near his birthplace in the Khentii Aimag province of Mongolia. Over the years, a number of attempts to locate the tomb were barred by the authorities to prevent disturbing the locals or disrespecting the history of the area, but in 2004 a team of archaeologists discovered the palace of Genghis Khan. It is now speculated that the tomb lies nearby, but after nearly ten years of exploration and search, nothing has been found.
#7 Pinpointing the Star of Bethlehem For Christians, the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem is a faith-based event, and no further explanation is required. But for scientists and non-Christians, many questions remain. For nearly 2000 years, the bright star has been a mystery. Was it a miracle as the Christian religion teaches, a natural phenomenon, or maybe an alien spacecraft? St. John Chrysostom even suggested that it was not a star, but some unseen force that took this form. The phenomenon has been the object of intense study for researchers, astronomers, historians, and archaeologists since antiquity. Modern scholars sometimes suggest that it was an unidentified flying object because, according to Scripture, it was visible constantly day and night and did not follow a course from east to west like other stars do. Some British researchers propose that the star of Bethlehem was a bright nova, like the one described by the Chinese in the spring of 5 BC. The great German astronomer Johannes Kepler argued that it was the conjunction of two planets forming a temporary “new star,” and Origen of antiquity (185-254 AD) claimed that it was a bright comet, as did the astronomer A. Stentzel in 1913. But no satisfactory scientific account has been provided to this day, and the mysterious star remains unexplained.
#8 The Gods of Olympus Could Have Been Aliens Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago, bringing with them technology that drastically affected the course of history and human evolution? If so, would people regard them as Gods? According to a few heretic and alternative historians and scientists, this is exactly what happened. “We modern humans, according to Hesiod, belong to the fifth faction created by Zeus, the iron race, a mixture of good and evil,” says Swiss author Erich Von Daniken. According to his book Odyssey of the Gods, the ancient Greek gods were in fact extraterrestrial beings with superior intelligence who visited Earth, bringing with them their advanced technology. They were not mythological creatures, but actual space aliens. Of course, none of these theories can be proven historically accurate, but as Von Daniken points out to his doubters, neither can Jesus’s divinity.
#9 The Truth Behind Bimini Road In 1968, under the seabed off the coast of Bimini Island in the Bahamas, divers discovered dozens of huge flat limestone blocks forming a perfectly straight highway one kilometer long – a formation unlikely to be created naturally. Many claim that the blocks are the ruins of an ancient civilization, while others are convinced that this is a unique natural phenomenon. But none of these explanations can account for a prophecy made in the early decades of the 20th century. A famous prophet and healer of that time, Edgar Cayce, made a prediction in 1938: “Part of the ruins of Lost Atlantis will be discovered in the sea around the islands of Bimini … This will be done in 1968 or 1969.” Cayce’s prediction was indeed oddly – and creepily – accurate.
#10 The Identity of the Babushka Lady In the films and photos recording the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy, an unknown woman can be seen in the crowd standing near the Kennedy limousine. She is seen wearing a brown coat and a scarf on her head, which gave her the nickname “the Babushka Lady.” In certain moments of the film, this woman seems to be holding a camera up to her eyes. After the shooting, while most people dispersed, the Babushka Lady remained there calmly recording the events. Shortly afterwards, she vanished in the crowds walking up Elm Street. What makes the case even more bizarre is that although the FBI, through the press, asked this woman to produce her film, she never appeared. In 1970, a woman named Beverly Oliver claimed to be the Babushka Lady, but her story had many gaps and inaccuracies, and she is largely considered to be a con artist. Nobody knows who the woman with the babushka scarf was, or why she never delivered what she had recorded with her camera. Got any unsolved mysteries you feel we should have mentioned? Let us know in the comments below.

Use the links above or scroll down to see all the GameCube cheats we have available for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
Genre: Role-Playing, First-Person Action RPG Developer: Intellegent Systems Publisher: Nintendo ESRB Rating: Everyone Release Date: October 11, 2004
Hints
Danger Mario
Danger Mario is tough. To have him work, you have to equip 20 or 30 power rushes which can be found at the pianta parlor after you get the 6th crystal star and when you clear frankie’s trouble. Danger Mario’s attack power will be increased x2. He can also defeat the toughest enemies the Shawdow Queen and Bonetail.
Maximum Coins You Can Hold At A Time
The Maximum coins you can hold at once is 999.
Jabble The Jabbi
It is possible to Unlock a Jabbi that will travel around the Great Tree in Chapter 2 with you as well as your puni. If you remember correctly Punio mentions a friend of his when he first tells you about the Jabbi tribes in the tree. Well if you go to Pungent’s Store to the left of the same area he told you this in, you can find Jabble hiding behind the three random pillars all the way to the left. He doesn’t count for anything in terms of Puni count, but come on who doesn’t want a Jabbi as a friend?
Danger Mario
Danger Mario is tough. To have him work, you have to equip 20 or 30 power rushes which can be found at the pinata parlor after you get the 6th crystal star and when you clear frankie’s trouble. Danger Mario’s attack power will be increased x2. He can also defeat the toughest enemies the Shawdow Queen and Bonetail.
Broken-Neck Mario
When you are under a small ceiling do an ultra-jump. When he hits the top pause the game then un-pause, it looks like he has a broken neck.
Yoshi Colors
When you pick your name for the Yoshi, name it the color you want it like “Orange” and it will turn that color but if you think that’s stupid name him after something that color like “Fireball” and since fire is orange he will turn orange.
How To Defeat Blooper
You need to be able to go to this sewer (not the main sewer) and jump on Blooper’s thing. He will say something and you need to fight him. Defeat his things and he will fall down from the top of the stage. If you have the Power Smash, you’d might as well use this (have a lot of BP or FP!)a lot in this fight. (Tattle with Goombella for details) Have either 95 or 99 star points there. If they ask you what you want up, reply ‘HP’. Then you can also go to Petal Meadows.
Star Point Craze
To do this, the best place to go to is Keelhaul Key after you have completed chapter 4. But I advise that you get Ms. Mowz before you set sail (upgrade her to Super Rank before you go). Now when you arrive on the island, you will see that there are 3 fire ghosts (Embers). You beat them and then you go to the jungle and you will see a Green Fuzzy and he will jump right to you. Now when you’re in battle, have Mario defend himself, while Ms. Mowz hits the enemies with her Love Slap. But when there are 4 of them, let Mario use his Power Bounce to kill 1. If you do this correctly, then you should have a whole bunch of star points in the end of the battle. Good luck!
Shine Sprites At Poesly Heighs And Star Pieces At Hooktails Castle
One sprite is at the very left of poesly heighs. Another one is in the place with the sixth crystal star, do a spring jump at the poles, go left and go straight down. You will also see the luigi emblem, but thats another cheat. One piece in hooktail castle is in the room with the paper airplane, you go to the crack again and go right. Another is in the part when you jump out of the window, instead go right then you will get a star piece.
The Soft Touch
The soft touch is very simple, all you have to do is equip two or more soft stomp badges. If you do that, the enemy will be soft for about five or more turns.
Snow Bunny
To make a snow bunny, you have to mix a Spicy soup with a Golden Leaf , but first you have to solve Zess T. ‘s trouble by getting the legendary cookbook first.
Counting Sheep
To have your enemies in an endless sleep, you need to equip 2 or more sleepy stomps, which will knock out your enemies 5 or more turns, but temporarily.
Shriny-dink
Performing shrinky-dink requires 2 or more shrink stomp badges. The enemy will be shrunken for 5 or more turns.
Not So Simple Mario
To become unsimple Mario, you have to buy 2 or more unsimplifier badges at the howz of badges.

Who Is The Evil Spirit In The Thousand-year-door?
The evil spirit will only apear once you defeat leader of the X-nauts. Oops! I’ve said to much. But the name of the evil spirit is the Queen of Shadows. She uses Princess Peaches body for power. She has 150hp. At the start she 10 damage. Once you get her down to 100hp she gets bigger and she does 24 damage. I think if you get her do down to 50 she absorbs the audience and she restores ALL of her health. She knows the Shadow Sirens. They are her servants. When she grows she gets hands and they can suck up your hp. One of her attacks she gains 3 hp & fp.
Bubble Float
After getting Crystal Star number 2, go to the secend door and enter it. That pool at the bottom (bubbles will come up) you can jump in the pool and you float up for a bit!
How To Get Space Food
To get space food you can go to Fahr Outpost andsleep in the inn. Every time you wake up therewill be space food on the table. It replenishes 5hp.
Beat Hooktail Without The Cricket Badge
Before you enter the tower put on your Power Smash badge or your Power Jump badge. Then keep using it and you will beat the dragon in no time.
Stronger Battle Enterances
Instead of using your regular ol’ Normal Jump or Hammer attacks while hitting a foe before a battle, you can use the special Jump and Hammer attacks too. For example, if you ground pound an enemy before battle, you’ll enter the battle with the ground pound attack. (Note:You can’t do this with the spring jump move.)
M&L: SS Reference
Before you get Bobbery as your partner, he will ask you to get him some Chuckola Cola to cure him after being attacked by embers. Chuckola Cola is the same drink from the GBA game Mario and Luigi which was used to turn Queen Bean back to normal from a monster.

The Confusing Hallway In The Palace Of Shadow

The boat mode thing will appear under the statue of the stars. Sail to the tower building. Go in and go to the first door on your left. Hit the far left box 3 times and the far right box 2 times and get the key. Go to the next door on your left and enter it. There should be 4 boxs, 2 red and 2 gray. Use your Ultra Hammer on the gray box on the far left then exit that room. Then go to the next door. I think its a room with nothing in it so take out Fluire and use her to blow away something in the middle and take the key. Go to the next door and enter it. There should also be nothing in there but walk straight to the other side of the wall and keep walking.(you will automatically walk through the wall)Get the key and go upstairs. Go to the frist room to the left and there will be those koopa skeletons.
