Ghost Trick is so funny because it's one of those games where people keep telling you to play it and after a while you start getting curious so you go "whatever" and try it

Then you're playing it and the thing happens which leads to the thing and ultimately gets you to THE thing and then you finish it and are like "I have to tell people"

So you go on social media to post about how this was a downright mindblowing experience but are like "Oh no what do I say to not reveale too much?"

You then type "Play Ghost Trick" and hit post like some sort of drone and you are 100% right to do so

Anyway play Ghost Trick

Deceptrode! A bug/ground type that mimics Electrode to protect itself from water and flying-type predators.

Pokédex Entry: Deceptrode, the Mimic Pokemon. This pokemon has evolved a disguise, curling into a ball which resembles electrode to deter predators. This method has proven quite effective even on humans, as many trainers must double check before picking up a pokeball to be sure it isn’t a pokemon in disguise.

In Super Mario 64, if Mario approaches a Bob-omb without being seen and stands close to its spawn point, it will continue walking in a straight line without ever turning around as long as it does not encounter any obstacles or uneven ground and Mario does not move away from the spawn point. Note how it walks straight ahead in the footage despite its usual behavior being walking in circles.

If it encounters a slope while walking, it will change directions. If it happens to change directions in such a way that it looks directly at Mario, it will see him no matter how far away it is at that moment, even if it would never be able to see him from that distance under regular circumstances.

Taken together, this results in the bizarre scenario seen in the footage, where Mario is doing literally nothing while the Bob-omb first decides to walk extremely far away, suddenly "realizes" Mario was there the whole time, and attempts to pursue him only to explode before even reaching him.
