I found this on YouTube, and I am a bit curious about it.

First, why does the mega mushroom have an animation for going out of a ? block?
EDIT: Appears in https://youtu.be/rYdj5SRsY70?t=2m37s
It isn't ever shown in the game, so the animation isn't needed! (Maybe DLC coin rush levels have it, IDK)
It's odd to waste effort like that!

Second, why is the mega mushroom so compatible? It looks like it could've been used in (nearly) every level!
If that's the case, why can't it be stored? Why wasn't it used a bit more?


Still, since it's so compatible, it leaves potential for NSMB2 hacks.

1) Just think the sequel to NSMB Ds, it had ?-block Mega-Mushrooms. They might have wanted to make a remake level (?)
2) Falls under the 1st one, NSMB Ds Sequel

I guess that's a valid point, but why would they make (or scrap) something like that?

They may have decided not to use it, but kept the code in case they wanted to later

EDIT - Not trying to backseat moderate, but shouldn't this be in the General ROM hacking forums?

They probably programmed it before they finished the game so they made it work with everything to make sure the level designers could use it without worrying about it. When they finished the game they just left in the interaction code rather then spending extra time removing it.

likely. no point actively removing code unless space is an issue. and these days, memory is cheap.

Why do you guys reckon they removed it, if it was so compatible and easy to incorporate?

He's referring to the Mega-Mushroom ? Block
