List Of Interesting Facts About Mario
Remember the Super Mario? If your childhood passed in the late 1980s - early 1990s, then, of course, this game did not pass you by. A little fat little man in overalls with recognizable black mustaches, - perhaps, the most famous character of computer games. If you too could play Super Mario for hours, you might be interested in some facts about this game. Celebrate the return of Mario and his kart with these ten curious facts about everyone's favorite plumber.
How did Mario become a mass murderer? And when did he develop a penchant for knitting?
The first <a href="https://rumble.com/v4kaez-super-mario-theme-trumpet-and-euphonium.html" target="_blank">Super Mario</a> game was developed and released by the Japanese company Nintendo in September 1985. The character of Mario is older than the game: he was created by Japanese designer Shigeru Miyamoto and first appeared in the arcade Donkey Kong in 1981. It was actually to be a game about Popeye rescuing Olive but things did not go very well, actually, they became even greater than that! The frame of the game was taken from the game Donkey Kong. The character Mario is an Italian plumber in the Mushroom Kingdom, and his mission is the rescue of the princess. He is often helped by Luigi's younger brother. It is possible that Miyamoto took the name of Mario's brother from the name of the pizzeria "At Mario and Luigi", located next to the Nintendo office in Redmond, Washington. Despite the fact that Luigi is the youngest of the brothers, he is almost a head above in height over Mario's. This often happens, doesn't it?
The character of the game was not always called Mario. Originally he was called Ossan, which means "middle-aged man" in Japanese. Then his name changed to Mr. Video, the Jumper Man and finally came to Mario, after the creator's landlord!
Initially, Super Mario was an action game in which the character flew on a rocket, fired a laser cannon and a gun. Some elements are taken from another popular action Nintendo game - the Legend of Zelda. Both games were developed by Miyamoto himself and have similar motives (for example, in both games fiery sticks appear). There are more than 256 hidden levels in the game.
The mushrooms in the game were copied from Amanita Muscaria, and simply - from fly agaric, which, to all other things, can have a psychotropic effect on a person: you see things bigger or smaller from what they really are.
The soundtrack to the game, also known as Ground Theme, is one of the most recognizable melodies in the history of <a href="https://rumble.com/v4y70l-top-10-great-games-that-run-well-on-bad-computers.html" target="_blank">computer games</a>. This simple theme, written by Koji Kondo, remained in the ringtone charts for 125 weeks.
Super Mario Bros is the best-selling video game in history: it sold about 300 million game cartridges around the world. In Super Mario Bros 3, the action takes place on islands, the shape of which resembles Japan. The castle is located on the site of Kyoto, the hometown of Nintendo.
Times change, the fashion and the new technologies and games come and go, but such a modest and unpretentious action game as "Super Mario Bros" will forever remain the best memory for those whose childhood was in the difficult nineties.

Facts About The Moon One Should Always Remember
With plans to have man set foot on the Moon again in 2019, we thought you'd enjoy 10 incredible facts about the moon.
First of all, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first landed on <a href="https://rumble.com/v3rqvj-239000-mile-zoom-in-of-the-moon.html" target="_blank">the Moon</a> in 1969, they left a variety of stuff there. One of those items was Yuri Gagarin’s cosmonaut medal.
There are 160 missing rocks from the Apollo 11 and 17 missions; 0.2 grams of lunar dust was sold at an auction for staggering $442.500. Who needs such expensive dust?
Out of all the insane marketing tactics, Pizza Hut takes the crown with their idea to place their logo on the Moon using lasers back in 1999! They abandoned the idea when they were told the logo would have to be the size of the state of Texas, which is 268,597 square miles. Talk about space-age advertising!
When Apollo 12 crashed a 2.5-ton empty Lunar module on the Moon’s surface, it rang like a bell for an hour, hinting at underground structures.
The Moon also has rainbows on its surface, only they’re called moonbows. They appear when the light hits the surface, although they seem white to the naked eye.
The most unusual fact about the Moon is that scientists still have absolutely no idea how it was formed. It could have just dropped into orbit, or a Mars-sized rock could have crashed into our planet, forming the Moon.
There, we know more about the moon now. But what about other celestial bodies? Luckily, we now can learn together with <a href="https://rumble.com/v63cwn-nasas-tess-spacecraft-begins-hunting-exoplanets.html" target="_blank">NASA's TESS Spacecraft</a>.
As science and technology continue to improve, we are finding new ways to discover the universe. NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is responsible for aeronautics and aerospace research. This video discusses their new TESS spacecraft! TESS is actually a planet-hunting satellite and actually stands for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Recently this summer, it began searching the universe and stars for exoplanets. An exoplanet is a planet that is outside the Sun’s solar system and orbits another star. These exoplanets can have many different features, big giant gas planets bigger than Jupiter, rocky planets such as earth, boiling hot planets, freezing cold, planets that orbit 2 suns, and even ones whose year last only 2 days!
TESS’s main focus is the closer stars that are much brighter. Since the focus will be on closer stars and exoplanets, scientists can research these more efficiently. The farther and more distant stars are harder to research because of the lack of information and data on them. With this new focus on closer stars, these scientists can gather more useful information!
TESS’s mission will last more than 2 years and hopefully is expected to find more than 1500 exoplanets! That is some pretty good numbers for a 2-year mission! It actually launched in April of 2018 as a test to see how well it did. It sent back its first image in a month and they decided to fully send it off for its 2-year mission a couple months later! NASA has been working extremely hard on their research and it is very amazing seeing their research in action. This video will be sure to inform you on their new mission and hopefully we will hear about the amazing results in 2 years’ time!
How crazy is that! Be sure to check <a href="https://rumble.com/alltime10s/" target="_blank">AllTime10s</a> other videos for more unusual lists.

Learn About The 10 Most Dangerous Insects In The World
We all have our fears. Most of us are afraid of bugs, while others get scared by snakes or sharks. Imagine noticing the grossest, hairiest, most nightmarish-looking centipede you have ever seen inches away from your lunch box. How would you react?
Would you scream like a banshee and call someone in hysterics or would you finally get yourself together and gather enough bravery to squash the beastly bug with the first thing that gets to your hands?
If you hate bugs this much, here is a good reason not to kill them. Yes, you read it right. According to entomologists, different bugs have different roles in the circle of life. Some of them transmit very deadly diseases, so killing them on your own might not seem like a smart idea. If you happen to be fascinated by insects, here are 10 extremely dangerous insects.
The Bullet Ant’s sting is so painful it feels like being shot. Many people believe that this tiny insect possesses the most painful sting known to man.
A <a href="https://rumble.com/v309fw-botfly-larva-removed-from-chipmunk.html" target="_blank">Botfly larva</a> can burrow into the skin of their host and remain inside for weeks. You can feel them moving while they are inside their raised pustules.
Fleas are one of the most common parasites that get caught on your skin. While sucking the blood out of the animal, they can spread numerous deadly diseases.
The Kissing Bugs usually bite their victims during the night in the area around their lips or eyes. These deadly creatures spread the Chagas disease which is the reason for the deaths of over 12,000 people every year.
The bite of a Giant Japanese Hornet can cause intense pain, while its venom can dissolve human tissue. Imagine turning into human pudding!
We all have heard about <a href="https://rumble.com/v3m4wz-floating-colonies-of-fire-ants-spotted-in-houston-floodwaters.html" target="_blank">Fire Ants</a>. They are an aggressive species, whose sting causes red welts and pustules. In some rare cases, the sting of a Fire Ant can actually kill you.
Tse Tse Flies are large flies that suck your blood. This way they can spread sleeping sickness, which kills people in Africa on a regular basis.
You wonder which insects are on the top of this list? We invite you to keep watching the video, but brace yourself because it’s the one we all hate.

Think Mercury is the hottest planet in the Solar System? Think again. Find out which planet is superheated, along with these 10 other incredible facts about the Solar System.
#10 The Sun makes up 99.86 % of the Solar System’s mass. The sun’s gravity is the majority force for 2 light years, nearly halfway to the nearest star. The Sun is It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.
#9 There are 5 dwarf planets: Haumea, Ceres, Pluto, Eris, and Makemake. with the exceptionofCeres, which is located in the asteroid belt, the otherdwarf planetsare found in the outer solar system. Vulcan was a false dwarf planet created to explain away irregularities in Mercury’s orbit.
#8 Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune all have rings, too thin and dark to see it from Earth. Saturn has 53 Moons, 2 are within its rings, controlling ring f’s movements. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the <a href="https://rumble.com/v4btdt-our-solar-system-space-oddity.html" target="_blank">Solar System</a>, after Jupiter.
#7 Saturn’s moon Enceladus has a cryovolcano, blasting water into space. Caused by Saturn’s gravity, heating an underground ocean on the moon. Saturnis a gas giant and is composed of similar gasses including hydrogen, helium, and methane.
#6 There are 535,000 minor planets measuring over 1km across, 3000 are registered each month. Each member of ‘Monty Python’ has one named after them. Minor planetscan be dwarfplanets, asteroids, trojans, centaurs, Kuiper belt objects, and other trans-Neptunian objects.
#5 We actually live within the atmosphere of the sun, in an area called corona. The Northern lights are evidence of this, created by Solar winds. The materialinthecorona is an extremely hot but very tenuous plasma.
#4 A huge asteroid hit mercury, creating a 1300 km crater, called the Caloris Basin. The shock wave wrinkled the crust on the opposite side of Mercury, creating hills. We only know what half of the crater looks like because the other half was in darkness when Mariner 10 flew by the planet.
#3 <a href="https://rumble.com/v4l6fr-moon-venus-and-mercury-after-the-sunset-time-lapse.html" target="_blank">Mercury</a> is not the hottest planet in the Solar System, its lack of atmosphere prevents heat being trapped. Venus, however, reaches temperatures of 465 degrees. Mercuryis the hottest planet because it has anatmosphere made ofcarbon dioxide; it also has clouds of acid inside itsatmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect.
#2 Volcanoes or asteroids can sometimes blast rock from Mars towards Earth normally landing in Antarctica or the Sahara, the eldest dates back 4.5BN years. Theasteroidsareorbiting the Sun, each one traveling around theSunfast enough for theorbitsnot to degrade.
#1 Earth spins on its axis at 460m/sec, orbits the Sun at 30km/sec and whirls around the galaxy center at 220km/sec. Earth rotatesonce in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to the stars.

Check This List Of Illegal Baby Names Before You Get Creative With Yours
Want to name your baby after a delicious chocolate spread? Or the founder of al-Qaeda? Luckily for these babies, the government made their ridiculous names illegal, so check out this shocking list of 10 illegal baby names on <a href="https://rumble.com/alltime10s/" target="_blank">AllTime10s</a>.
Now, to be honest, they are not illegal everywhere, so just to soothe your anxiety, we will also tell you where the names are illegal. For example, you can’t name your baby Nutella if you live in France. The reason is unknown.
On the other spectrum of comfort food, you can’t name your baby Fish And Chips if you live in New Zealand. Sure, they are delicious, but why would someone want to condemn their baby to such a...complicated name? Oh yeah, Kiwis can’t call their babies Sex Fruit either. Now we wonder why that is?
While on the subject of the boot-shaped island, if you want to destine your kid to a life of fame and bling, you can’t name it 4Real. We are sorry, but if your kid wants to be a rapper when they grow up, they will have to write “Bob” on their ID. Great fan of the city of Detroit? Having you kid named Yeah Detroit Lastname is also not an option in New Zealand.
Enough about the Kiwis and their <a href="https://rumble.com/v2zx0x-cute-crazy-dogs-attack-for-attention.html" target="_blank">peculiar</a> tastes for names. How about in Mexico? Surely they are more open-minded. Not if you want to name your kid Facebook, that’s a no-no. Also, if you are a die-hard of Robocop, you can only name your kid after the cop-turned-robot at the comfort of your own home.
Mona Lisa sounds like a decent name to give to your infant, right? It speaks of exquisite tastes and knowledge. That is all fine, but if you live in Portugal, it is not an option. Again, reasons unknown.
Do you have an interesting name you would like to give you future child? No need to leave it in the comments, just make sure it is legal where you live.
