In SM64, when you go into a painting it's like a little enchanted pocket dimension.

In Sunshine, when you go into a graffiti portal, you are going to a real, physical place on Delfino island.

The exception to this is pinna park where a cannon physically shoots you to the level. And some levels are accessible via warp pipe, but it's not clear to me if those are magical or not.

I guess, isn't this kinda weird? Like why doesn't Mario just take a bus to Bianco Village? Why do I have to wait to unlock a beam of light to transport me to Noki bay when I could just walk there?

Thank you :)

Feel free to delete this as low effort or off topic, but this is just a burning question I've had lately.

I've joined a lot of the Buy/Sell groups, and it seems like everyone is basically selling at TCG low, requires you to cover shipping, and the biggest one - they are some rando on facebook! So there's absolutely zero insurance or obligation in place if they decide to screw you. AKA you are taking on all the risk.

What's this all about? I guess they just hope people are lazy and don't comp prices? As a buyer, do I just keep hoping some dude lists a cradle for $900 or something?
