One of Super Mario 64’s few remaining mysteries has been solved, thanks to a player who figured out how to open a previously “unopenable” door from the 1996 Nintendo 64 classic.

Snow World) was previously thought to be unopenable from the outside, setting it apart from the majority that players come across in the game which open both ways. The door is clearly fully functional, as Mario has always been able to use it from the inside after diving into a chimney at the top of the mountain and going down a slide, but hitboxes prevent players from making their way back through it after leaving the cabin.

The Pokemon Company and Yogibo are teaming up to sell a popular trio of Pokemon, namely Gengar, Jigglypuff, and Lechonk, as giant bean bag chairs. The Pokemon recreations are functional and cuddly-looking, but could also serve as decor for fans of the series.
