you: haha I’m bad at math
i, a mathematician: it’s okay we all struggle with math a lot
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Wigglers on the slide in Tall Trunk Galaxy are actually a special “Adjustable-Length Wiggler” object. While the game never gives them anything except 4 body segments, it is possible for the object to be set to e.g. only one body segment, as shown in the footage.

You think math should relate to the real world? What are you, some kind of physicist? Get the fuck out of here
I see it a lot in my students that the ONLY mode they can engage with literature on is one in which they either say it's good because it's "relatable" or it's bad because they "can't relate to it" as well, and I feel like this is a symptom of the same problem. An unwillingness to engage with fiction outside of its ability to be a mirror to your specific worldview and set of morals. But art doesn't exist to give you moral purity badges--it's a mode of expression that produces conversations between artists and readers. And to engage in those converesations on an adult level you need to learn to process the discomfort of flawed human realities productively.
