In Super Mario 64, it is actually possible to escape from the grasp of King Bob-omb or a Chuckya after they grab Mario, by whipping the Control Stick back and forth and mashing the A button a combined total of 11 times before they throw him.

In Super Mario 64, Koopa the Quick has a subtle "don't waste the player's time" mechanic. If Mario is too far ahead or has already finished, Koopa the Quick will hurry up and finish up to 30 seconds faster just to not make the player wait too long at the goal.

I just completed all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com

real input ran faster than sample input??
