Every time I see an unadorned "Mario" I think of the video game plumber. So I was a bit stoked to see some sort of algorithm for a special effect for Super Mario Bros. Wonder that escaped my notice, maybe a way to blur the player sprite for invincibility power-up effects by stacking multiple copies of the sprite of varying opacity on top of one another? Well, regardless, today I learned.
