We don’t fault you for missing these lesser-known details, and neither should you. You were way more preoccupied with beating the level and collecting your little trinkets or whatever. So it’s okay to lean on keener fact-finders like us once in a while.

After this list, you kids get back out there and have some fun. We don’t mind the much nerdier work of finding the details.
