The Most Mario Colors #
This post from Louie Mantia features one of my favorite types of analysis: collecting a lot of data to answer a seemingly obvious question and finding interesting patterns in the process. I hadn’t previously noticed the large variety of letter colors in the different Mario games, with the most common combinations only being present in at most 5 games of the 40 shown. Also of a similar style, I really liked these videos by jan Misali which cover the interesting question of what games are specifically in the Super Mario series (both videos are definitely worth the long durations).

There have been a lot of Switch 2 leaks over the past year and they seem to have held up pretty well. Most of the improvements seem pretty solid except the new colorway, which I dislike because it takes away from the fun, vibrant aesthetic that Nintendo has been known for. Also, I find the new logo to be pretty awful due to the ‘2’ being way too big, especially since they could have just kept the old Switch logo. Hopefully the magnetic Joy-Cons fare a lot better than the older ones, as stick drift has been a recurring issue over the lifespan of the first Switch console.
