The Extra Room of Mario Party 4 contains a single-player minigame called “Doors of Doom”. It consists entirely out of choosing one of two doors; each one either lets Mario through to the next room, awarding him a point, or opens to reveal Bowser, which ends the game.

The minigame is actually completely rigged from the start. The game determines how many points the player is allowed to receive and the result will be the same no matter which doors are chosen.

In the above footage, the game has decided that Mario should lose after getting 1 point. In the second room, both doors open to reveal Bowser. This can be tested by using an emulator and saving a snapshot of the game. No matter how many times the savestate is reloaded, what frames the inputs are made on, and what doors are chosen, Bowser will always appear after the predetermined allowed number of points.

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

exCUSE ME?!?!!??!??! TheYRE PAINTINGS?!??!!?!

SHUT UP I thought they were miniatures!!!!

It’s too beautiful. I could cry.

I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!
