tho this is the older version, i just realized

@@AdianPronouncedAiden oh, yeah a lot of levelcodes I have are from when they were uploaded

Common name I suppose xd

That's its level index number, basically tells you how many MB64 levels came before it. This is the 543rd level out of all MB64 courses that have been recorded across LSS and Rovert's discord server for example.

It was a blast! Hope you'll make more levels like this in the future! [If you haven't already]

@@Vortoxium I will work on my own game! ;)

@@giulytsme eyyy, even better

I already know this level actually! Since it was too hard for me I put it on a list for levels to play at another point in time though. I might still record it at some point, but I don't think it's likely

@@Vortoxium That's cool you know about it already. Agree it's crazy difficult. It's the hardest level of any Mario game I've ever played thus far. I actually saw this video a while back but I didn't try to play it yet also because of the difficulty. The last two nights I've been attending to beat it. I have been using savestates because since I have never attempted anything like this I'm trying to learn how to get through the difficult sections. I will reduce use of them maybe even try without it once I get better. Thursday night I collected the first star and Friday night I collected the second star. I'm sure the most difficult star to collect will be the 8 Red coin star. But I also think the second star which I have collected is the second hardest star. Especially the section at 2:29 and 2:40. Both of these challenges I have never done before, mostly because I have never had a level built this way so you can't test something you have never played. The 1st section I had quite a bit of trouble getting the timing of the jumps and the control of the stick. But I landed it. The second I was really intimidated by it. But I just kept working the problem surprising I landed the jump faster than in the video. Also I gave up trying to move my camera angle the same as his. At 2:40 he taps the camera angle twice, I tried so many times I failed. So instead I just tapped the camera angle one time then kept the angle the same. I was reminded by a conversation I had with a gamer who is way better than I named "amsix" if that's not the right name I'll look it up again and tell you. I saw him playing a Kaizo level and asked him you can't even see Mario how do you know when to jump? He just said, with experience I just learned the timing so I don't even need to see Mario I can just do it. So I just thought ok, even if I can't see Mario hit the wall I can just try the timing of the jumps to hit the wall at the right time, at least I know it's possible to do it blindly. Note, it's not totally blind but there is a second or two you don't know exactly when you'll hit the wall. Ok so I tried it at the semi awkward angle. After a few tries, ok more like 30 or 40 I landed the jump and caught the ledge grab. Each time I played that section I got better and better. The last step where you do a back flip and ledge grab is easy for me just have to make sure the joy stick angle is dead center so you don't run off or flip off the edge. Last night I actually tried to collect ( what I call is the first red coin ) the one at the bottom of the pillars where you have to do a complete circle to collect it. I tried for like 30 / 40 minutes. No luck. I could collect the red coin but died right after that. One time I was able to collect the red coin and still wall jump off the furthest pillar but died immediately afterwards. I also just tried to see if I could make a full circle, na couldn't make it. But I was showing progress. Then I gave up on that and just tried to land on top of the furthest platform more consistently. Which I did. That's when I decided to turn left to try for the 2nd star. I really wanted to try that section because I be never played something like that before. I think except for the 8 Red coin star the other stars should be easier. But I'll have to review his video and see. I don't think this will be my next Thursday's video as I don't think I'll be ready to record by then. So I'll have to pick something else. No clue what I'll record yet. But I lll have to pick something soon. Monday to Thursday go by really fast and I like to try to have something recorded at least a few days before release. Well the level again is the hardest level I've ever played so far but I'm having a lot of fun playing it. Kiddos to Scott the creator of the level. Mad Respect.

@@Genzaijh It's nice to hear that you made some good progress already, seems like you'll be able to beat it in its entirety if you give it a few more days

Hmm, they are certainly more on the difficult side a lot of times

@@Amity_Amygdala thanks ^^

@@user-vc4kt4uo5e I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "the other stuff"

@@Vortoxium Idk if its for you but when i search up big duds factory

well, what happens when you search it up? xd

@@Vortoxium I see well.. "Big Duds"

@@user-vc4kt4uo5e oh 💀

Nice job on this level! It's pretty good

Also apparently this got featured??? And no one told me??? (Well tbf i guess thats what i get for being inactive in this game for like, 3 months) anyway, since i now have motivation again ive decided to add this to a soon to exist level pack im gonna make (C2’s indev) + update that does really minor things nothing much to have to rerecord for dw) (its literally just a title change and a update to m5)

@@somerobloxdude3699 Ohhh nice, can't wait to see your other levels!

Thank ye, hehe

Yes! I do believe the track is called "Frantic Factory"

I did have fun!

As far as I know only the MB64 videos of this hack's creator's KZbin channel got taken down, I don't think the game itself ever got taken down

@@Vortoxium Oh nice!

It was a very fun level indeed!

Благодаря ти!

Practice makes perfect so if you try long enough you should eventually get better at building levels!

@@Vortoxium I have no pc nor a suitable laptop to play games like this😅

oh, sorry to hear that :/ Maybe MB64 can be played on mobile at some point in the future

@@Vortoxium it's no big problem. I can enjoy video's like yours anyways🙂

because your good at the game

@@nataliehergerdt6571 haha thanks!

thank you! This level was pretty scary to record since some stars are pretty tough to get

@@Vortoxium I know the feeling. I am also making MB64 levels like you. Some of my videos are an hour long because I'll also record a blind play through. My latest video I didn't is the second half of one level. I had the 8 Red coin star and 100 coin star to get. Actually I died many times more than I should because of getting hit by bully, accidently doing a back flip, or getting hit by fire. I didn't want to repeat the same section over and over. So I restarted that section many times. It's not hard but just wanted to get the perfect run. Did you do a lot of runs through the level before uploading this clip? I'd say the time you did everything is a very good time. Also you kind of need to know where everything is to pull it off like this. But like I said good show.

@@Vortoxium I may give this level a try too. Just kind of depends what I want to do around the time I plan on making videos. I only pump out about one video a week. Just a hobby not my day job. Lol

I play levels at least once before I record them, mainly to find out if the quality of the level is high enough to be recorded and to also learn where the stars and red coins are located. I don't usually do more than one run on a level beforehand though. Also yeah the schedule I currently have for these videos is pretty tiring honestly, I upload three MB64 videos per day and it honestly has burnt me out a lot already. I will probably reduce it to two MB64 videos per day in the future if I can't keep up with this anymore.

@@Vortoxium Damn! 3 a day / 2 a day is a hell of a lot. Man I don't blame you getting burned out. Funny we play it for fun but when you feel presure to constantly put videos out it takes away the fun. Shoot I only get about one video a week and that feels like a lot for me. Ironically I play other stuff in-between the MB64 levels. Like Switch games. But I'm not uploading that game play, for one I don't know how. But it's also ok, just play for fun too you know. Hey ya and if you feel like you need a break take it. Don't want to see you get burned out. Besides you know I don't think your subscribers will be watching that many videos a day. And people also get distracted watching other videos or just doing real life stuff. I subscribe to some really cool channels but I don't always get back to watching their content even though I know they are putting out really great content. Hey, don't know if you know this channel, you probably do it's called "I can Beat Videogames" the guy mostly focuses on NES tittles, his channel is literally the best gaming channel I've seen out there. Like once a week or even less than that he puts out one video of how to beat a game, he goes through the entire history of making the game, the culture at the time fo the game release, it's ranking of popularity, what made the game so great, teaches you how to beat it, and all the tips, tricks, and secret cheats. It's like an encyclopedia of gaming history. I just really love his content. I mention this not to say you should follow hai model just one gamer to another saying he really knows his stuff and does an amazing job making those videos. You know when you need a break it's pretty relaxing to just go and check his stuff out. And if you already knew about him, that's cool too.

It does have that vibe kinda, yeah xd

Yeah, so I only found out about this later, but apparently there's a blue lift somewhere that would take you to that star so technically you weren't even supposed to use the vanish cap for it xd

I can see that honestly! This is a pretty high quality stage

Yeah! time to send him a Cease and Desist letter!

Thanks guys!! ♡

Haha sorry, I just felt like this power-up would have skipped most of this level's challenges which I didn't really wanna do!

Sure thing!

@@Vortoxium thanks;)

Indeed

Check out this guide: rentry.co/mb64-setup-guide It should help you with getting this stuff set up!

@@Vortoxium can we FaceTime I will give you my number i looked at so many different tutorials and they’re mostly outdated . I’d be better if you can help me

Where exactly are you getting stuck at?

@@Vortoxium I’m getting stuck when I unzip the file folder it won’t load up the hack , it’s saying the file cannot be found . I’m at work right now or I’d show you a pic of the errors 🥲

Do you have a Discord account? There's some servers where you can get help really easily

Hehe, that makes me happy to hear!

Absolutely agreed! You don't really see the castle textures being used that often. Also the Bowser's Castle song from MK64 is also very underutilized in this game.

maybe everyone thinks its to original and overused in the main game that they see it and dont use it much

I can absolutely tell you what song this is! It's called "Factory Inspection" and it originated in "Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards"! Here is the original version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnSsfnukaqt4j7Msi=aUzkqHAe-5Sg3rg_ And here is the SM64 version which you can hear in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ63l3-CeL6WoZosi=GANeSqqAdNOz5rXY

@@Vortoxium HOLY CRAP THANK YOU SO MUCH. yes yes YES, that is the song it is actually so amazing. Ive heard a few songs from crystal shards a while back like the file select theme, such a good OST I need to listen to the whole thing. Thank you man edit: WOw u even sent the m64 version thanks dude, I actually love both the OG and the SM64 version, they are both incredible.

Haha, happy to help!

Hey that's pretty cool to hear! Super Mario 64 was also one of my first games I could experience on a console as well. I doubt they will ever do a true Super Mario 64 sequel, though you could always check out ROMHacks of SM64 to fill that gap!
