The folks over at GameXplain found an invincibility glitch in Super Mario Maker. For the glitch to activate, you need to place a door on a set of spikes while ensuring that Mario has a second-tier powerup (Fire Flower, Propeller Hat etc.). You need to step on the spikes and enter the door during the period when Mario is invulnerable after taking damage. When you emerge from the other door, Mario can’t be damaged in any way. Check out the video below which demonstrates the glitch in greater detail:

The results are in for Splatoon’s fifth North American Splatfest. To say the least, the event was extremely close.

Just two percentage points separated the art and science sides for both popularity and wins. However, it was Team Art that managed to come out on top, though just slightly. The final count was 255 points for art and 245 points for science.
