Headscratchers / Paper Mario: Color Splash

• Why was the Washing Machine changed from a top-loader to a front-loader in the European version?
  • Cultural Translation

• Why is is that Mario’s mood is affected by paint but the Toads in the flashbacks doesn’t?
  • Mario’s not from Prisma Island.

• Why is Roy not possessed by Black Paint when Bowser is?
  • Because Bowser essentially bathed in the stuff and got it all over himself. Roy weaponises it but never has more physical contact than his feet standing on a thin layer of the stuff.

• So Bowser mixed all 6 colours of paint, and that turned it into black paint, which is apparently sentient and evil, and took over his body. However, the 6 primary and secondary colours mixing together don't make black. They make brown. The only way to have black as an output colour is if black was one of the input colours, which it wasn't. So how did Bowser mixing the colours make black paint?
  • Mixing the colors will usually make brown because the amounts are uneven. If they are all exactly even it will become black
