More Level End Glitches in Super Mario World

Ойындар

Did you know there could be 4 different exits in each level in Super Mario World? How about that you can spawn a Reznor or message block to beat the level? It's all explained right here.

    The context of the Reznor glitch is straight-up bonkers. Imagine being a trout swimming in a small pond and all of a sudden a dinosaur ridden by a plumber teleports you into its mouth and spits you out and while you're dazed, you shit out a fire-breathing rhinocerous which teleports away

    Awesome explanation and data presentation. A small correction at 9:13: the sum of those addresses must be exactly 4, not equal or greater than 4. The reason it's usually possible to finish the level with Yoshi's tongue alone, as you observed in 10:22, is that the Reznor that is spawned via stun glitch starts with its own value set to 1 (you can actually see him dying if he is on-screen). So in the first frame of Yoshi's tongue we get 3+1 = 4 and the level finishes.

    There is actually a way to set the goal tape's extra bits to 10, and trigger the code for the 3rd exit (submap warp). You have to make Yoshi fall super far below the level without despawning, and then trigger a remote item swap on the frame the goal tape is loading. Remote item swapping can be done using two Yoshi's, with the 1st one turning invisible while his tongue is still out and linked to a slot. Then the tongue will freeze and become inactive until the other (visible) Yoshi despawns, allowing you to delay the item swap until you position the invisible Yoshi just where you want. The invisible Yoshi won't despawn below the level while you're riding the real one. If you do this in Cookie Mountain (which luckily has a Yoshi block), you can warp to Larry's Castle. It's a rather complicated setup, but it has been done in real time competitively.

    For that unused "normal exit, and teleport to submap" function, I wonder if that was a plan for how Star Road was going to work, or they were going to have pipe transitions like SMB3--you go into a transition stage and then take the exit to go where you want. After all, Super Mario World is the odd one out just having the teleport happen entirely on the map--in SMB3, pipes all had transitions, and there was that tower in world 5 that acted as a bigger transition to the sky. Then in NSMB, the cannons just dump you in a transition stage where you jump in the canon (and later entries made them courses in their own right)

    That's particularly interesting because stars (but *not* pipes) actually are levels. Each star has to have a stage number assigned to it; this is used by the game to keep track of what directions Mario can move on when exiting the tile. At the end of the video, we see an example of entering the stage level assigned to the star because the star tile is not yet in the proper state to activate an overworld transition. So it is possible that, at one point, stars were intended to be stages you could enter.

    The gigaleak actually included old map data for SMW that shows how originally the world map was going to include a sub-map layer with tunnels that you could navigate through, though the idea was scrapped later on. It's possible they tried using this functionality with those submaps, probably for a brief period before the mechanic was dropped entirely.

Plus, they also have got a level name assigned (and could have unique names as well) while pipes don't (and would all share the same name). Interestingly, SMW features two sets of pipes, one of which always defaults to level 0 and the other which has got level data assigned to it much like the stars but is never used in the game.

    One of the things programmers had to learn back in the day, because of limited RAM due to its high price, is the extreme efficiency of compacting code. I heard David Crane, the programmer of the Atari classic game "Pitfall!", talk about how it took him about a month to free up just a dozen or so BYTES from his game. The story went like this: David had finished his game ("Pitfall!") and showed it to his fellow programmers. It was exactly as you see it now except that you only got ONE Pitfall Harry and no more. But his fellow programmers convinced him to give the player at least 3 to start with. The problem was, he had used basically every single byte of available ROM storage as it was and couldn't add that feature. But, being the genius legend he is, he found ways to compact his code even more, but it took many weeks. Keep in mind that these guys were essentially using calculators and graph paper to design their games, so doing even a simple game - especially on the super limited Atari 2600* - was quite a challenge. * The 2600 had only 128 bytes - yes BYTES - of RAM and only supported a maximum of 8192 bytes of address space (ROM space). The 2600's 6507 microprocessor, which was a derivative of the 6502 but with fewer address lines to save money, could only "see" 8K instead of the usual 64k for 8 bit machines. It also had no video memory to speak of: the programmer's code controlled the video directly for the most part. There are channels here on KZread that teach you how to program on the 2600 if you're interested. The tools available today for programming the Atari 2600 are FAR more advanced than what was available back then.

The level itself just has to mark which exit a goal tape corresponds to (the normal or the secret exit), then the world map data for the level tells the "level complete" animation which direction that exit moves Mario in. That way the world map and the level data can be changed independently without being tightly coupled. It makes sense from a software design perspective.

    OMG this video has possibly solved a mystery I've wondered about almost my entire life! Back in about 1993 I bought my first SNES. It was a used console because that was cheaper and we didn't have a lot of money. One of the games we bought for it was of course super Mario world. I was 6 at the time. When we first loaded it up it had the last owner's save files on it, but my brother made me delete them so as to not spoil the game. I remember the number being 3 digits though but thought nothing of it at the time. I loved this game, I hammered it and looked for every secret I could. I remember my first venture through the star world and being frustrated by "Funky" for the longest time but I did it, I beat it all..... except I didn't. I could only get 96 exits. I knew there was more but I just couldn't find them. Many years later when we got internet access and I could finally figure it out, imagine my surprise when everyone was adamant that there were only 96 exits. I didn't believe it but I had zero evidence that there were more. I remember even downloading a level editor (hyrule magic I think?) To see if I could find those hidden levels but nothing was obvious. I've spent the last 30 years feeling like I was gaslighting myself, but this video shows it IS possible to get more than 100 exits! I feel so vindicated! Now I'd love to know how someone discovered all this back in the early 90's. Maybe they used an action replay or something to mess with the game, I have no idea, but I think I can finally put this chapter of my life to rest. Thank you.

    Sorry, your memory can't be explained by anything here. On a US or PAL SMW cartridge if the overworld event counter on the title screen would display anything greater than 95, it instead shows a special graphic indicating 96 (PAL revision 1 displays a blue "96" while PAL revision 2 and US carts display "*96"). On the Japanese version, the event counter can be raised above 96, but does not show 3 digits. Instead the binary-to-decimal conversion will result in A0 being displayed for 100, A8 for 108 (the maximum without using Arbitrary Code Execution and a couple other completely game-breaking glitches), and P5 for 255 (if you use Arbitrary Code Execution to write the maximum value possible for the event count). There is no way, even with Arbitrary Code Execution (or Action Replay), to get the counter to show 3 digits when starting the game. It is also worth mentioning that the glitches needed to get extra exits were not really known until long after 1993. We only figured out how to get to 97 a decade ago.

    The stuff about the goal tape. Is this why the goal tape is broken in vertical levels? SMW never uses them there. The Sunken Ship uses the special sphere object, and all other vertical levels have a pipe to go to a horizontal level which contains the actual exit. If you use Lunar Magic to put a goal tape in a vertical level, it will act like that exit sphere object (it won't move, and it ends the stage without the usual mechanism).

    To me, it's more because the goal tape is inherintly build for horizontal rooms and not for vertical rooms. More specifically, the goal tape stands upwards and will trigger the goal sequence even if you're high above it (the only exception is if you're completely outside the level, above the screen). With vertical level, it looks rather weird compared to a simple item which you can collect. Plus, an alternative exit for a major sequence adds more drama to it than as if the exit were just another goal tape. There is in fact a reason why the goal music is the same as the boss music with an orb.

This can be exploited, since when I have insomnia or want a nap, I just watch one of these videos. The problem occurs when I forget and try watching these while eating lunch, the act of eating should be in slot $E07, but the exploit rewrites to memory and sets me back to $A01, thus, drowning in my own soup. I love these videos so much though, jokes aside.

    It feels like a bug that 4th exit direction is defined by bits 2 and 1, overlapping with 3rd exit's bits 3 and 2, but I suppose once it was decided not to design levels with more than 2 exits it became moot.

    14:38 The method for determining the message display is bizarre. Was that extremely early in development, because a message occurs at the start, and a message block exists in the very first area, so they coded something and didn't revisit it later? It's difficult to understand this design.

    It's more likely that they'd already had much of the work done on how levels were designed when they added message boxes. At that point, the logic for spawning sprites was probably fixed. This meant that there may not have been any extra bits in the sprite object to store data for which message box to use. So it was probably easier to just make a quick table mapping from the stage level to the message box index. When someone decided that some levels needed two messages, they decided to use the last bit of the X position to decide which message to use. Because it was easier than trying to add more data to an existing system. And using the message box ID to test to see if a stage is a switch palace sounds very much like a quick hack they threw in when someone said, "hey, we need a visual effect when you beat switch palaces." So they had to find a way to detect whether a stage was a switch palace. Using the message box ID probably seemed reasonable under the circumstances.

    One thing you said made me very confused: "There is no logic to handle if the game reaches end of the list" (14:35). From that I expected that the loop will continue checking earlier and earlier addresses. When I'm thinking about low-level programming and memory adresses the condition that the loop breaks at 0 already counts as logic handling reaching the end of the list. I had to watch that fragment a couple of times to understand how the loop ends at 0 when there's "no logic to handle (...) the end of the list". Other than that: thanks for your great work! You're doing an amazing job explaining tese games' mechanics, and I'm always happy to watch your next video.

    I wonder why the exit is determined by 2 bits at all, if there are at most 2 real exits per level and the high Extra Bit should always be 0. You'd think the code would only check the lower Extra Bit, and ignore the high Extra Bit. My only guess is that at one point they had planned for some levels to have more than two exits, but this was scrapped and they just never bothered to change that bit of code (since the high bit "should never" be 1 anyway). This would be consistent with the existence of the "Test" level, which is glitchy but clearly meant to be there.

    9:12, 10:22 Is that part actually correct? Maybe a regional difference? It didn't match what I remembered at least so I looked into it again and at least for the US version it seems to check for exactly 4, not above. The reason the tongue still works is because the routine for spawning a sprite from a stunned sprites also sets $1564 for the newly spawned sprite to #$10 and Reznor uses that to check if he should be kicked off his platform. This results in the Reznor that spawns to always be killed making 1 of the 4 slots always 1. Then the tongue length of 3 sums up to exactly 4 and the level ends. However, in case a sprite that uses $151C like the gray p-switch is also in one of those slots, Yoshi's tongue adds up to 5 and doesn't actually end the level, unless the other values sum up to 3 (like another gray p-switch in the last open slot), in which case it will end the level when the tongue length reaches 1 while retracting instead of ending it during the expanding animation.

    This sprite slot stuff, different tables per sprite slot, and different sprites in different slots is the "ancilla glitch" in Zelda:ALttP. Key to the glitch is that different tables have different sizes based on where sprites (ancillas) can go, so spawning things in wrong sprite slots can result in out of bounds indexing. Some default behaviours also apply to specific slots. So do the ancilla glitch at some point!

    Huh. I wonder what kind of ideas they were planning that would use a third or fourth level exit. Some sort of super-secret exit? Or perhaps some unique situation designed to trigger special events that was never implemented? Or maybe it was something boring, like in earlier builds they used this to signify clearing special stages like switch palaces, and then later that code was revised to operate like a normal exit with different code to respond to the changes that made.

    In the GBA version they made it so that if you get a null sprite in Yoshi's mouth, you can't spit it out and have to wait until Yoshi swallows it. That version has a unique glitch though where you can go to locations on the map you normally can't go to or go to a glitch world using the level menu to warp to levels after you've beaten the game. I don't remember how it's done but it's on LuigiBlood's channel.
