THE SWAMP IS SUCKING OUT HIS BRAAAAAAAAIN!!! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!
In 2016, I have made a post about how in Super Mario Galaxy, whenever Mario sinks into a swamp, his head shrinks to allow his arm and hand to reach out of the swamp without his head being in the way. Normally, this cannot be seen in-game as it occurs below the surface, and requires external tools to move the game's camera.
If Mario sinks into the swamp after hitting the edge of a platform in the manner shown in the footage, a desync of the animation will occur whereby it will activate while Mario is still almost completely visible. This allows the shrinking of his head to be seen in-game.
