"A bug of a million year chance" - Pannenkoek2012 & BebopBandit

This indeed was a rare encounter, as any of the "one unit wide" columns, must match the exact "pixel" where mario is at. It's not a lazy check for if the column is inside Mario's radius. And the timing must be just right. Plus, the quarter checks that pannen explains, don't count, only the final destination does.
