Capcom announced this week that one of the playable Felyne costumes in this summer's celebratory title is Amaterasu, the sun god/wolf from the Okami series. The costume will work both in standard play where the Felyne is an AI companion, or in Prowler mode in which you play as the killer cat.

Despite its age, new secrets are still being found in Super Mario Bros. - including code errors.

According to a source code disassembly performed last year and published at The Cutting Room Floor, the behavior of Spiny eggs is not as intended.
