Super Mario Odyssey contains code for a capturable entity known only as “CornBoy”. While the entirety of the code concerning CornBoy’s movement exists, no associated graphics are present. The footage in this post uses a placeholder graphic created by dataminers of the game; please note that while the movement of the character is official material from the game itself, the blocky blue appearance is not.

CornBoy is an entity that was supposed to be an extremely powerful capture, being able to move immense distances in a single leap. It is likely that it was cut from the game specifically because it was too powerful and made many challenges trivial. It had the abilities to walk, “prepare a jump” (which would have made it compress itself), and “aim a jump” (by leaning), whereupon it would leap over great distances.

Top: CornBoy moving around, preparing and aiming a jump. Bottom: CornBoy performing a jump.

Nothing else is known about CornBoy, including the meaning of the name. While it can be assumed it was some type of boy made out of corn, what a creature that can perform large leaps would have to do with corn is unknown. Based on the name, it could have appeared in the food-based Luncheon Kingdom.

Rare Giant Squid Washes Onto Shores of South African Beach

At more than 13 feet long, the creature was probably just 2 years old, scientists say

A rare giant squid washed ashore on a South African beach earlier this month, reports Amy Gibbings for News24. The 13.7-foot-long, deep-sea dweller was stranded on a beach along Britannia Bay in southwest South Africa. Beachgoers discovered the creature and alerted officials on the morning of June 7.
Richard Davies, one of the people who captured footage of the stranded squid, says that the creature was still alive when he came across it. “It was sad because I could see it was dying,” Davies tells News24. “It was still pumping out ink and I touched one of its tentacles which sucked onto my hand and I actually had to use some force to remove it…”
