In the map screen in Super Mario Sunshine, a Yellow Yoshi in the Pinna Park brochure is seen saying something nearly unreadable:
[screenshot of unreadable text]
However, trying to enhance the image suggests, using the evidence provided, that he is congratulating someone named Shinko:
Please accept my best wishes for your marriage, Shinko!
Shinko Konishi is a map designer who has worked at Nintendo since 2000. In 2001, she worked with programmer Yoshitaka Takeshita on Animal Crossing:
Field Design
Jun Takamura
Shinko Konishi
Program
Masaro Sakakibara
Makoto Sasaki
Nobuhiro Sumiyoshi
Yoshitaka Takeshita
Hiroshi Umemiya
In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshitaka Takeshita was not involved, and her name was still Shinko Konishi:
MAP DESIGN
Hiromu Takemura
Atsushi Miyagi
Shinko Konishi
Taeko Sugawara
However, in Super Mario 64 DS, they work together again (in the same roles), and now Shinko's last name is Takeshita:
MAP & LEVEL
DESIGN
MINI-GAME PROGRAMMING
JUN TAKAMURA
SHINKO TAKESHITA
EIJI MUKAD
YUJI SAHATANI
YUKARI SUZUKI
YOSHITAKA TAKESHITA
EIJI NISHIKAWA
This all is extremely strong evidence that Shinko was engaged to Yoshitaka during the production of Super Mario Sunshine. As the Yoshi image would have been made by someone on the map design team, they would have worked closely with Shinko and used this opportunity to congratulate her.

In Super Mario Sunshine, the Pinna Park map screen brochure features a Yoshi saying something nearly indecipherable. However, it turns out there is compelling evidence that he is congratulating a map designer on her upcoming wedding to a programmer at Nintendo.

A closer look at the Sand Ruins track in 'Sonic Riders'. The stands in the Colosseum at the start are filled with tiny pixel people!

I'm just kind of interested in another attempt at a Sonic "minigames" game as well tbh lol
Just more games that let you play as the wider Sonic cast like what we got with CrossWorlds
the Secret Rings party mode was interesting for that reason... that but without the early Wii control weirdness lol

The Dream events were always my favorite, I assume because it was a chance to see more elements and environments from both series properly crossing over
I'd probably be fine with a new crossover that's just more minigames, but more fitting ones for either series in that way lol

I hope there's another crossover between Mario and Sonic someday
the Olympic games were neat, I appreciated the spirit of coming together across company borders, but I do feel like the framing of realistic Olympic events was kind of limiting-- not especially fitting for either series

If they continue with the Open Zone style I hope they're able to populate the world with more NPCs again next time... side missions like Unleashed (or even Rush Adventure and Colors DS) would be cool...

I love the Sonic Adventure NPCs too... seeing their plots progress as you go through each character's story was great
I still have yet to play Sonic 06 so I have no idea what they're like in that game outside of Sonic Man and the Luppyluppy guy though lol

Said this on the other site but
I'm someone who likes talking to every NPC in video games, so when I played Unleashed I instantly fell in love with all the side characters and their side stories
Seeing them again here makes me so happy :')

Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog strike a pose in front of a giant ring. Sonic is on the left oriented right side up representing Team Hero and Shadow is on the right oriented upside down representing Team Dark.

Team Hero or Team Dark...which will you choose?

Journey back to the 2000s, a decade full of iconic rivalries, unforgettable stories, and yes...lots of adventure!

I do not super like being vulnerable online, and even moreover, I don't like talking about money. But like... yeah, we've got a lot of debt to get paid off before we can get back to normal life. It started accumulating during the pandemic and grew greater as Beck's disability became more severe.
