Let's have a thread for retro misconceptions.

Sprites you thought were something else, text you misinterpreted, insane solutions to Zelda puzzles when you had no fucking idea what to do, and everything in-between.

The most famous of these misinterpreted sprites is probably Aghanim as Pokey, but I wondered if anyone else saw the bats in SMW as this.

That's because Daruma was a hardcore motherfucker. He dedicated his life to staring at a wall in a cave without blinking. He then encountered a problem. When he fell asleep, his eves would close. To solve this he CUT OFF HIS GODDAMN EYELIDS so they could never betray him again.

And then after several decades of doing nothing but staring at this wall, his arms and legs shriveled up and fell off.

Now you know why the Daruma doll looks the way it does.

Common sense, dude. Which one do you think is the leader? The one being ridden, or the one riding? The pumpkin-like creature is clearly in a position of power over the knife-like creature.

It's not like the pumpkin is just a pumpkin. You can clearly SEE it has limbs and a body. Like Princess Sevenleaf illustrates, it's a human-like creature. It's even wearing a cape, which is a classic symbol of authority.

I didn't draw that, it's just something some other drawfag did. That drawfag also seems to be the only other person to ever misinterpret that sprite.
For me, she's creepiest when she opens her eyes, because they seem so huge in proportion to her head even compared to the rest of the character sprites.
I saw her less as a bearded goon, and more as a kind of creepy goblin.

Plague doctors were a real thing across Europe. You may have learned this in history class if your education were not shit.

Not all plague doctors wore masks like that, but its purpose was supposed to be a barrier to infection.

The mask was crammed full of herbs and potpourri because they thought it would filter out the stench of death and therefore also the infection.

Didn't work, of course.

The eyes in the middle are the eyes of his true face. He doesn't have a full upper body. The "arms" are screwed down to the hilt and the head is just the tip of the handle. It's decorative.

Besides, the whole point is that he's Mack the Knife. It wouldn't make sense if he was Mack the Knife-Riding Devil Man. All of the other bosses working for Smithy are literally living weapons. It wouldn't make sense that he'd be the exception and simply ride on it.

In Japan his name isn't even Mack in the first place, so that lame pun didn't factor into his design in any way.

Blade is a living axe though. And he's shown to be a sapient being with a penchant for arriving late.

In this game, if the weapon has eyes on it, it means that the weapon is alive.

The devil's arms are bolted onto the knife's hilt and he has neither legs nor hands. It's just decorative. Or maybe it's not. Maybe that's the face that he uses to speak from. The eyes on the hilt are meant to imply that the knife itself is alive though. It could be a conjoined creation, but those eyes aren't decorative and would serve no purpose if they weren't a part of his face.

No one's saying the knife isn't alive. We're just saying it's not Mack.

To use a real-life example, imagine you're at a renaissance festival and you've just been introduced to Lord Killingstein. An armored knight on horseback.

Unless you're playing the role of village idiot, you're not seriously going to entertain the notion that Lord Killingstein is a talking horse with an inanimate human-shaped decoration on its back.

As for me, I have apparently always misheard Captain Falcon on his Up-B. Ever since Smash 64, and persisting through every sequel, I have thought that Falcon was saying "JERKS!" after he threw them off his explosive body. I figured he was being some hot-blooded punk or something, insulting everybody else in the fight for even showing up and wasting his time. It's stranger in that when I listen to those videos of him saying YES over and over, I can clearly understand that he's saying YES and not JERKS, but when in-game I can never hear it as YES, only JERKS.

My guess is that Mack is a living weapon like every other boss and he drew some eyes and a mouth on his handle to convince the shy guys that he's also a guy riding a sword like a pogo stick and that they should work for him because he has the biggest sword and that's how things work in the Mario universe.

Goomba seems to be just a generic term for "lackeys" in Western markets.

There are indeed several species of Goomba. Mushroom species in SMB 1,2,3, 64, Galaxy, etc
And Chestnut species in SMW, 3DLand, and WiiU
Also, I think I read somewhere that they were always supposed to be Chestnuts and that's what "Kuribo" means, or maybe that was just in reference to SMW.

I've often thought about such things, especially when Mario Galaxy had two different goomba types in it. The immense enemy variety and creativity of Mario World really convinces me that it was the apex of Miyamoto's creativity for Mario games. Sure, the ones following were great too, but none really shined with the same raw creative energy, at least enemy-wise.

Yeah, I used to see it as some sort of plant-like creature with an odd-looking head. I interpreted the front part of the sprite as crossed arms / tendrils.
