for anyone curious, the last level is impossible. once u pass the monty swarm, there is nothing to do but hit three invisible blocks. beyond the blocks is a giant void of nothing. the bullet bills don't ever spawn either.

I was genuinely shocked when I heard the Pokemon X and Y boutique theme playing. That theme is so incredibly overlooked and underrated even though it plays in a location most players will visit. Also, Pokemon X was a cornerstone of my middle school years. I made so many friends because of it.

the world map transitioning into yoshi's island 1 is genuinely incredible

I am blown away by this!! One of the most insane hacks of all time!

this definitely deserved to win, it's the coolest thing ive ever seen in a hack

Not surprised there's a MaGMML (Make a Good Mega Man Level) type thing for Mario. However, I wasn't expecting to see an innovation to side-scrollers here. It's a game that swaps on the fly between top-down and side-scroller, holy crap! That's COOL! Also love how ironic it is that the winning level is one that looks to be almost impossible to actually beat XD

I've seen this level several times now and it's just as good every time.

This whole rom hack is a fever dream, like some sort of WORLDS HARDEST GAME puzzle attack mixed with some classic mario world fun, truly jaw dropping.

QLDC was such a fun experience ! this level is definetely the greatest one, i participated in the contest i was entry 66 if you want to check it out (but you prolly won't and it didn't win any award sadly)

This has got to be one of the most creative things ever!

I don't know what the Pokemon X and Y clothing shop music is doing here, but I love this music so I ain't complaining.

Wow there are just some very creative and beautiful people out there. Over 30 years later and breathing life into a game in such an intelligent way. I love this so much.

... A Bean Burrito overworld... BRILLIANT!!! (the opening bit)

Having the overworld as the level... that's a nice idea

7:17 I didn't expect Hard Times from _Sonic the Hedgehog_ to start playing here!

I love how they put the Pokémon X and Y boutique theme in this hack, wasn't expecting that.

Was NOT expecting this, this is such a cool concept!!

This hack has some banger music

The music really did it for me, what an ideal score to go with this.

11:23 hot drinks really get you going... warm you up... when you feel you're slow in

This is like some crazy M.C. Escher painting

7:18 for anyone curious the song is hard times by the jetzons, also known as Ice cap zone from sonic 3 and knuckles! basically the liscensed song for ice cap wasn't a mj song but a song from the jetzons

I've wanted something like this for a long time. Absolutely insane concept of a level.

I loved seeing Carl play this one; so glad you got to it eventually!

5:08 absolute legend in chat here

I would love to play a whole game like this

Looks more like "Questionable Level Design Contest".

2:47 Excellent taste in music.

7:44 for anyone wondering, this seems to be some kind of spin on the original Ice Cap Zone theme from Sonic 3. I kept thinking to myself how familiar it sounded to a Sonic song, and after a bit of searching I was able to confirm.

This reminds me of the story mode of Just Shapes and Beats, this is crazy

“Pre-log would be a bowl of Raisin Bran” 😂😂😂

As a programmer: WHAT THE HECK THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Better level than most SMM ones.

3 minutes in and I’ve decided not to watch anymore but to play this myself, this looks insane!!!

2:48 omg the Pokémon X and Y boutique music hits hard.

S&W central: "single level contest" This creator: "well, you see, if we define level as..."

This made me appreciate the cute little map screen mario sprite. I've seen it a million times but I've never really looked at it.

Genuinely disappointed there was no boss fight

@raidev_

10 ай бұрын

yeah...

I considered doing something like this on the world map for making a SMBX episode, where basically, the level was a litteral pipe maze taking place on the World Map, with a shortcut opening up to skip it after you're done. I love now that someone actually made a World Map into a level.

The funny thing is, for a rom hack you'd actually have to put effort into making the level be a timmy level.

The only songs I recognize 2:46 Boutique - Pokémon X/Y 7:17 Hard Times - The Jetzons 10:45 Hot Drinks - Wendy's training video 14:53 Ending/Credits - Yoshi's Island Idk the name of the other songs

"When do we get to the level?" "This IS the level!" "Yippee!"

I remember watching this one live and being just as amazed as Dave. Such a cool concept!

my man be using ALL them subroutines

When I got into following the Super Mario World romhacking scene, levels looked like this just because it 25 years ago.

The Pokémon X&Y music made me so happy for no reason

Love it at 10:48 when it changes up it starts playing Hot Drinks Training video theme

It's insane how a fan somehow managed to create something even more wacky than Super Mario Bros. Wonder! Proof that fans really do know what they want more Nintendo does! Wonder may be crazy, but this is crazier! lol! I love this!😂

7:26 Pretty sure that's Jetzon's "Hard Time" an old song and Inspiration for Ice Cap Zone, someone involved in the production of that Piece was Co-Composing Sonic 3 with Micheal Jackson which is why it sounds alot like an Ice Cap Zone remix.

Well damn, I gotta say, this is definitely a creative new spin on Mario rom hacks. This is amazing

7:49 I'm surprised no one in chat got the Yakuza reference, especially since the series has gotten really popular over the past year or so

14:30 You’re kidding me. You weren’t paying attention to one of the best jokes in the rom hack.

This is a whole ass new genre of Mario tbh

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Amazing! It definitely deserved to get 1st place!

That is the most creative level I have ever seen!

I feel like I'm watching a less raspy Steve-O play a kaizo!

The first song is “Hard Times” by The Jetzons.

Apparently this level was made just as Threads was launched

As in the fifth element : "It was the best episode ever Corben !"

This has got to be the most unique SMW Mod I've seen yet!

This level must have been a _hard time_

This is amazing.

don't you just love it when you screw around then say "i want to make something real out of this"

7:23 OH HARD TIMES THE HAPLIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE, HARD TIMES HARD TIMES!!!!!! Also, coincidentally, OG Ice Cap Zone from sonic

Dave how does it feel knowing youve been doing this for so long i can say i grew up watching your videos? 😂😂

To Scramble_Boi who asks what the music was at 7:45 its an unreleased song called Hard Times by the Jetzons, which was used in Sonic 3, Ice Cap Zone 1

Dude, what a journey I'm speechless
