RGME Article #27: March March Marching Ahead

Sometimes when you're playing Super Mario Bros. 3, you may beat a level and then have to sit through several seconds of the roaming Hammer Brothers trying to make up their mind on where to settle next.

I always wondered why those Hammer Bros would sometimes shuffle around for a few seconds! Cool stuff. By the way, I noticed you used the term "whitelisted". I know it can be tough to change, but you might want to consider using alternative terms like "allowlisted" (the history of terms like "blacklist" and "whitelist" is.. pretty gross.) Thanks as always!

I was always under the impression those terms originated from colors of light (a black filter would let no light through). I went ahead and reworded those parts. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
