In Paper Mario, Mario normally jumps onto Lakilester's cloud to use the Cloud Nine move. However, a small cute detail occurs if Mario is asleep or otherwise unable to jump onto the cloud, which causes Lakilester to gingerly pick him up from the ground himself instead.

Is that a normal lull in the music or is it toning itself down for sleepy Mario too?

Do people not know this can happen in game normally?
I've seen my own run of danger mario on 64 where mario can be hit being frozen by Crystal King or such, Lakilester always is the best Homey for his cloud-9 move as a crutch.

I'm well familar with this. But I can imagine it being a detail overlooked by causal fans of the series.

Especially if any of them never even played the game and are just following the account as general Mario fans.

There's no animation on Lakilester's sprite when he's picking Mario up, while it is present when he jumps up instead

similarly, in the ttyd remake if a party member is incapacitated or asleep (or flipped over in koops’s case) when you use earth tremor, an anti guy comes from backstage to carry them offscreen until the move is over

Well, it would be rude to wake him up, right.
