So, I was watching a video about the evolution of Mario, and they showed off a scan of the manual for Mario Land in the background, and I noticed something cool.

On the story page towards the beginning, it shows Tatanga covered Sarasaland (that Kingdom made of 4 kingdoms!) in a dark cloud! (I guess also parted it, but not notably so). Mario later fights Tatanga, but in the Skypop, but later on in SML2 (if we see the series as connected and don't isolate game feats) actually fights him without equipment! (This either means he's gotten stronger since the first, or just he didn't need the Skypop anyway). So... yeah, thought I'd show you this feat, since you seem to like this sort of stuff.
