I’m guilty of this lol 😂

My friend won't shut up about his dilapidated mansions ..... He's got some real bad manors.

I was thoroughly convinced that the very first power up block in that first room was a progressive power up, and that using that piranha plant fireball to unlock the launcher (that shoots mushrooms) would mean that the power up block would give you a leaf instead of a mushroom, and then you could fly somewhere. All the way up to the GG, I was certain that was going to be the case. I'm disappointed that I was wrong.

Give em the old "fly away to victory"? 😂

Carl is tempting someone to smack him with an evil escape the mansion level, I just know it. If anyone accepts this challenge, reminder that it is year of the guts and Carl has been asking for true soft locks, and even added full on crashes to his own levels.

With most of those camera shenanigans, the answer is that games typically employ a look-ahead view for their camera. In the case of the skull platform, the game is looking forward in the direction that you're traveling, which is down-right, to give you a hint of what's to come. This is more than what you'd have for just falling because you're on a moving platform. Stronger camera look-aheads seem to push the edge of the camera border further so as to have less of an abrupt stopping point.

Carl seems to enjoy it and more power to him, but “find the hidden spot in the room where if you can scroll the camera just right you’ll get something” feels less like a puzzle and more like a riddle to me. Especially since the first room isn’t actually about that, so you don’t necessarily know that’s what it’s about until the third room or so. I think it would be a tighter puzzle level if you knew that every room was about that, and you knew roughly where in the room to look. Then it would be more problem solving and less randomly climbing on vines looking for magic.

@VincentAcrimony

You're certainly right about that. The mansion presents all these moving parts and variables for you to interact with, but none of them have any impact on the solution. From the shape of each room to the enemies found in them, the mansion offered so much but chose not to utilise any of it. It was more comparable to a find-the-hidden-block level than an escape the mansion level.

that second puzzle is amazing. wow, incredibly difficult. probably the hardest for being so small and simple

The genre that gets closest to escape the mansion levels is probably time-loop games like Outer Wilds, Sexy Brutale, Deathloop, 12 Minutes, or House. Stuck going through the same steps and stages, uncovering quirks and twists one by one until you figure out how to put them all together in a way that breaks the loop.

They already exist in practice. In the early era of Flash games or even earlier with point-and-click games, escape the room/mansion games were common. I’m a bit surprised Carl doesn’t seem to know about them. You do raise a good point contrasting escape games with more general puzzle games.

Carl always makes my day. Love your content. 5/5, would recommend.

As soon as I learned that the shell bounced off the Thwomp I more or less figured out a solution, if I would have been there I could have been another person spamming the chat with guesses.

Just watched DGR cheese the thwomp puzzle LOL

I feel like with Carl half the year it's like, I really want a good MM troll video, how long until the next carl video? Then the other half of the year it's like, here's a troll level video, there's another, oh but wait here's 6 more and a few puzzles in the mix... Go overdose on troll evil!

That first level a great end troll would have been the key door taking you to the end and the goal being behind a breakable block in the last hint area.

Tried the blockage puzzle on my own a few months back and could not figure it out for the life of me. Good stuff on getting jt

7:06 I knew it was something to do with the vine block! That vine didn’t grow all the way to the top the first time you entered because there were bricks in the way, but unlike other blocks, vine blocks reset when you reload a room (wether hit or destroyed, they always revert), so when you came back after hitting the brick blocks, the vine grew all the way to the top. I knew it had something to do with that, just didn’t know how exactly, until you climbed up it and scrolled the screen.

Honestly, I’m surprised you didn’t notice the bricks blocking the ? block vine. You’ve been playing this game for years, many more than me. Then again, the phrase “Carl Blind” exists for a reason, now, doesn’t it?

I fully expected a twice twice after the checkpoint in the Mansion, but all the rooms ofc had a backwards mechanic

Just started watching the video, and I have recommendations for games around the escape the mansion trope. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (along with the other games of the Zero Escape series) Escape Simulator, which is more of an engine for everyone to build escape the room puzzles in. Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery. The Room (and the other instalment of the series), if you want to focus more on intricate machinery for puzzles. We Were Here (as well as the sequels), an asymetrical co-op escape room game where each player have clues for the other's puzzle and both need to work together to escape together. Superliminal, which is more of a puzzle game with really interesting mechanic, and I would also recommend Antichamber in the same vein. I would also put the Witness here, even if it's not in a room, but it's puzzly as well. And I'd end with a newer one, which has great potential, The Book Walker. You dive in books to solve puzzles in the story. Thanks for being amazing, I'm watching all your videos, even if I'm not commenting often, but I love what you do.

I am subbed and have reminders set to ALL for your channel, but I am often not informed when you upload a new video. Just thought you should know. I love your content

I love your last solve, and I always love your streams! Heya, watch how DGR solved the last one. XD But your logic is always so wholesome!

Man, those hints are straight up answers. lol I wish they were more hints. Like pointing to a vine, or pointing to a box or something so people know where to look but don't get the answer

I think I can solve the second puzzle: 1. Spin off a shell to get to the horizontal pipe, get the snowball, turn the switch to OFF state, and return to where you spawned. 2. Get a shell for hemlet and take another one. Hold the shell and ride the thwomp as an elevator (that's why you need a hemlet for damage boost) and return to the switch. Operate the switch to kill the thwomp by the shell without losing it. Now, the pit occupied by the thwomp is cleared. 3. Turn the switch to ON state with the shell so that a snowball can spawn. Slightly displace the snowball so that it is immediately next to the blue box that becomes concrete when the switch is OFF. Turn the switch to OFF state. Wear the shell as hemlet, return to where you spawned, and spin off another to get to the horizontal pipe. 4. Lastly, once you hit the snowball and get it rolling, rush to the spot directly above the question mark block as fast as possible. As a snow ball rolls much more slowly than a shell slides, I reckon this plan can be carried out with some practice.

27:00 "I lost the boot but I can get another one" You mean you can reboot Mario?😁

"I don't want to go into the hint room. Chat, give me hints."

It's a really elegant puzzle to have such a complicated solution with so few components, without any jank.

That first level was basically find the arbitrary right place to stand and find the hidden power up. It isn’t a puzzle, it’s just process of elimination.

The Fire Flower behind the Pirahna Plant in the first room is very Wagon World feeling, when they swapped out a fire flower for a plant

love you carl, you make my day every new video.

braid is a game that reminds me of an "escape the mansion" style game like you had described.

A game that fits that description of escape room-esc game is called, "Escape Simulator" it's really well made and it has great steam workshop support!

20:31 it's been over a year and I am still upset that you never once rode the skull platform to check the door.

I think this "escape the mansion" game Carl is describing fits perfectly into "Outer Wilds"

Puzzlin’ good in the neighborhood

Lol that 3rd room felt like a room in wario land 4 (emerald passage, monsoon level) where the solution is getting enemy up some off-screen stairs

I feel like a whole game of mansion levels is just Baba is You

Escape the mansion games don't really work unless you are introduced to the mechanics beforehand. I was into tricky castle recently dumb little mobile game but with an interesting escape the mansion concept. But the amount of times they introduce random mechanics make it not very fun to play something randomly becomes interactable way too much. If you're looking for a suprising puzzle game, that gives you all the tools and you discover how to use them can of wormholes is really good

30:00 By the way, DGR, out of all people, cheesed this one hard. 31:45 I think I see the intended solution. But right as I write it, nevermind, there's a major problem with that.

Is there a video or explanation how to beat the blockage puzzle because I didn’t see another way to do it

Missed opportunity on the first level, coulda made carl get the mushroom launcher to progressive powerup the mushroom and get above where the launcher spawns for the key

I miss the puzzle speed runs to get fastest time

I thought that the first ? block would be a progressive power up that you had to go get the mushroom from the cannon that falls in that first room.

The thwomp.snowball one, I felt like you were so close to a solution several times. You even tried it. But with the shell instead of the snowball, since it rolls really slowly. You have the thwomp in the stuck down but free position, roll the snowball from far back and run. Ez?

Wow, I didn't know scape rooms where a thing now. I made a couple levels when SMM2 launched 😮

Carl should play Antichamber

DGR cheezed the hell out of the thwomp puzzle

Carl's after that thrice thrice escape the mansion. Also, bit of an oldy now but a great puzzle game that really makes you think with really well done slowly evolving mechanics is Braid.

How is it that the level creators so often attend his playthroughs? Are the levels he plays scheduled somewhere or is it just 'you are a SMM2 creator you have to catch Carls streams" :D

They send him their level codes to play their levels. Most of them are probably regular watchers.

"finck" by nifflas is kinda like the game carl is describing

The problem with a dedicated "Escape the mansion" game is that it needs to establish all the mechanics beforehand. For MM2 that's done by the rest of the game, and when you reach an EtM level you are simply expected to already have a decent grasp on everything. You can definitely have puzzle games, but I think it would be difficult to make a good game that stuck faithfully to this particular puzzle genre.

Teacher: how is the letter a pronounced? Me: 7:11

If you like escape room games, there are plenty of them out there, like Nonary Game series(starting with 999)

There's a game called escape academy. Doubt Carl will see this, not sure if he knows about it but I feel like he might enjoy it. Sorta fits the description he was giving at the start of the vid and it would be fun as heck to see him solve the puzzles in that

In that last level, could you kill the thwomp and then slow roll the snowball into the hole, and beat it to the leaf spawn location?

I would've had the block be a red herring, but having the shellmet would allow you to kill a plant you couldn't have before.

Escape the mansion game makes me think of tunic

When I saw the cannon in the second room I immediately thought "there's a door behind there"

If you're asking the level creator for help, you're already using hints. Just take the door by that point.

If you want a crazy puzzle game, I strongly recommend the game Tunic.

Carl discovered the same cheese as DGR, but failed the execution lol

how do you do that last level in 15 seconds

Beside troll levels, escape the mansion style puzzle is my another favorite content.

Some days ago Geek played a troll level for her contest and this rule will f*ck up your brain on some parts: 1XQ LMN 68G

“Somebody could make an entire game around ‘escape the mansion’ like things” My dude, I feel like you would love escape room puzzle games. Might I suggest Escape Academy as a starting point. If you want something more focused and a little bit more brain teaser, The Room. EDIT: watching in a little further, I would recommend The Room to you. It has lore as you work on each of the puzzles and the game subtly teaches you mechanics for later puzzles.

Wonder what if that pipe in the hint room leads anywhere :P

Can't you just kick the snowball instead of the shell on the last level? Since it is slower you have tima to both climb all the way to the feather and the thwomp has time to get away from the snow ball as he returns up

You are the best trollshowman

47:30 has a wonderful dissonance in the soundtrack.

I be dreaming in Mario maker levels sometimes.

I feel like DGR's way was simpler, and I think he fit it faster, unless he just edited out a ton, which is entirely possible. lol

the hints are very hinty

hi carl, i love your trool videos and pulze, and i see other Yt mario like one of your friend DGR, and i would say to you Drg has CHEESE the Twomp puzzle! :)

But what about an escape the getting over it level?

Escape the Room/Mansion was a popular game genre around the Flash or even earlier with the point-and-click era, I believe. I don’t know how many of them hold today still, since adventure games were infamous for extremely obtuse puzzles, but they already exist. For a good new take on the genre I suggest There is No Game. It was originally a flash game that got a fully fledged remake. I think it’s on Steam.

GUYS, what if the key door was the Hint room instead lol. Also you might like the game Interior Worlds. (what do other's think?)

So, you do realize that the "escape the mansion" game you are talking about is just the Portal series, right?

Ever since Karl created just try better: "I wish levels take back to the beginning"

Escape lemvels : )

Almost 30 minutes to resolve the last one 🤦‍♂️

I think the last puzzle is fairly simple to get the solution if you think from back to front what you need to achieve to win. And that way to construct the steps that you need in reverse.

While I personally mostly lost interest in this game (because I've played it too much haha) and in essentially all channels covering only it, Carl is just so amazing! When he uploads I always try to watch him as fastas possible purely because of how much fun it is to see him get played like a fiddle!

the worst part about watching carls videos instead of his streams is you cant tell him the solution if yoi know it. this is even more annoying when you found the solution long before he did

That first level was obnoxious because he clearly knew what to do but needed to pad it out for Content™️

Lol first level is a tuta level. Carl instantly goes for the giant brain shit lol. Why? Idk. Tuta is great cuz we expect big brain at this stage of mm and instead it’s just the greatest when we stumble Into solutions. All that to say we love u Tuta.
