Mario games will be 42 years old this year (this July) if we’re counting Donkey Kong (1981), and though he was technically called Jump Man in it, he was retroactively named Mario soon after. I just hit level 50 in life. 😂 I’ve been playing games since 1976. Pong in 76, Atari VCS in 1979, ColecoVision in 1982 (all because I needed the DK pack-in game!), but getting the NES Deluxe Set in 1985 was a life changer for me. I wasn’t able to get SMB until February 1986 (I was 13) I had all the time in the world to play it, and worked a 🗞 paper route in order to buy new games for the NES. What a time to be a kid gamer. Those were the days… as they say. 👍

In all my years of playing SMB, I never knew that lifts did not count against chain stomps. I'll have to see if this still applies in SMBDX, as it would allow for much higher scores to be possible in Challenge Mode. I seriously learn something new about SMB every time I watch one of your videos!

I remember having a fun time trying to get as many 1-ups as I could with the star in 3D World 3-7, because high-value enemies like hammer bros end up just adding three to your current chain level in that game too (200+400 can become 1000+400 or 200+2000), and the way that interacts with stars (which reset the chain every 8 enemies in 3D World)... I actually forget.

When I played SMB1 on SM All Stars, I was having trouble with world 8, so I got myself to 8-2 and painfully set up the infinite one ups trick on the second koopa on the stairs. It was totally worth it though, as it gave me enough lives to comfortably finish world 8. If only I could beat 8-4 in the lost levels 😥

Someone needs to do a maximum lives run that doesnt involve dying or infinite life combos

I'm impressed that I instantly recognised the last track as music from 'Top Gear' even after all these years. Excellent soundtrack.

Didn’t realize that stopping a shell doesn’t reset the kill combo counter in this game. Probably would’ve been a little broken in later games where you can pick the shell up after.

That ending combo is insane! Great work Kos

@Kosmicd12

Жыл бұрын

Correct! I didn't realize until watching it back after it was live 😔 the confusion comes from the 10 lives category I was talking about. In my head I thought that combo gets 2 1-ups, because in that route you only get 1 more 1-up than the previous route with the trick in 1-1. But that's because you skip the trick in 1-1... haha. 3 - 1 = 2

this video was great! it also made me curious to see how this kind of technical video could mix with your other style of videos (where you record your life streams and edit them) since i feel your "fun" vibes in these streams could match pretty well with these deep technical explanations vibes

I knew some of these tricks, like how standing on sprite platforms doesn't reset your stomping combo (which is more well-known in SMB3, but doesn't work in SMW, where sprite platforms do reset your combo). Also, in SMB3, it takes 9 combo hits (not 8) to start getting 1-ups, since the point values for both stomps and shell-kills go 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 1-up. Anyway, really nice 10-life combo in 3-2 at the very end of this video! (Man, I miss SMB35, which that kinda reminded me of, where you could easily fit dozens of sent enemies into a shell-kill combo, especially in world 3-2.)

3:55 I get this 1Up by stopping the koopa as it rebounds and then kicking it back and forth until it clears every koopa, since stopping the koopa doesn't reset the kick counter.

Blows my mind how there is always more to learn in this game even after so many years.. This game is like life itself

i really like how you showed the memory addresses for the certain values used for this!

3:41 it's pretty easy to get that timing down on 3-2 for both times to get the extra 2 1-ups.

0:38 I did that many, many times on the second quest, same for 2-1, you can do that when you have the second quest, but you've got to be pretty quick, because it comes down fast.

Awesome video - I didn't know about a lot of these tricks and we will definitely try some of them! And we LOVE magic spoon - our daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and Magic Spoon has been a GAME CHANGER for our family! I cannot say enough nice things about them!

This was so much fun to watch! Thanks for the hard work!

This is a phenomenal video. It rocks, you rock, this game rocks...good vintage games never die. :D I must go back and achieve these new found skills to add to my gaming portfolio.

The locals in my region, back in the 80s, referred to the shell stomping trick as "turtle tipping." I've never heard the phrase used again since then but it was a cool name for the trick I thought.

The Bomberman hero song was an excellent touch to another great video

Great video as always :) nice and fun 1up tricks

This is the kind of video I don't need watching but I feel satisfied because I've watched it. So thank you!

another banger video, always love learning something new about this game

Great 1up tech vid, more knowledge and entertainment to be gained. The frosted magic spoon box design is also entertaining, that one would be funny on a shirt 😄👍

I would do stuff like this in the Genesis Sonic games as a kid, try to get as many lives as I could in one playthrough of a game and glitch out the life counter

I knew about the 8-1 koopa shell trick and when father saw us doing it he wanted to do it himself. But it was so funny watching him try again and again. We knew a few spots back then where it could be done but father would always shoot the koopa when pressing to run.

That Top Gear 2 music during the ending, love it! One of the best video game songs of all time.

I know there is a place in "Super Mario World" on SNES (forgot where,it's been a lot of years) where there is a turtle coming down stairs,and you can the same thing to get 1ups,like you could on the original SMB!!! :)

Me: I can do the shell trick and get lives! Kosmic: Meh, I can do that PLUS some extra.

It's incredible to me that a game from my childhood still has so much to offer.

I remember accidently bumping the old cart in an NES and getting not 1 not 5 not 10 but a groin worth of extra lives. Like the sprite that makes up the groin of the mushroom folks.

1 fun trick I used to do when playing SMB3 and even to this day is to jump on Gombas on 1-2 at the Gomba factory

It kinda makes sense to me that there's a lot of unexplored territory; consider how long the speedrun has been being optimized for, and how that only covers a small subset of levels. Presumably there's plenty of other stuff waiting to be found in the levels that any% runners don't go through, purely because of how many runs and eyeballs being on that critical path pulls to part of the game. At the same time, wow.

@Kosmicd12

yeah, pretty much just the speedrun has been so incredibly optimized. Other competitive things even, like high score, is nowhere near as explored. And when we worked on projects like minimum A press, brand new things were discovered/documented. Even after this video, happylee went and figured out a new thing with kicking shells!

This is my favourite series of videos

I don't know if it's been done before, but when I was a kid in the 90s I had a Chinese NES knockoff, and it listed hundreds or thousands of SMB games on it. However, all games were glitched out / unplayable SMB levels. It would be cool to see those levels again.

well there is another way, run the game in 2 players mode, finish the game, start the new quest, go to 1-2 with mario and die on a first goomba, then go with luigi to 5-2, hit the block with the vine and when it grows up die to a hammer, then mario will be back in the beginning of 1-2 with the vine growing from the ground, so you can hang on it with beetle shell between you/vine and the left wall, infinite 1ups

How do u make custom levels for this game?

A cool thing is the lives counter can roll over back to zero, and if you rack up enough lives (probably 256) you'll get a game over at next death! Found this out while playing a hack... Doing the lakitu trick three times in a row, dying to repeat the level again and again. I was shocked. So, if there is a hack where you have infinite lives, depending on how it's implemented, it might still be possible to get a game over screen if you can get that many 1ups, which I think is really cool.
