Super Mario Bros. 3 Glitches - Son Of A Glitch - Episode 22

In this episode, we take a look at the vast majority of glitches in Super Mario Bros. 3. Most of these glitches work on the original, Mario Allstars and Super Mario Advance 4! There are more glitches in the game, I know!
Huge thanks to Lord Tom's footage of the glitch in 7-1 that skips to the ending. Go check his run out in full!

Wow! Talk about a walk down memory lane. I recently lost my mom and this was her favorite Super Mario. She would play the whole game get 99 lives get to world 8 and hand the controller over to me and say "I don't know how to beat this world, you do it Charlie." Thank you for making this video, it brings back very good memories.

[@kaydwessie296]

+Charles Gayman This is the last game I ever watched my mom beat, I feel ya. She's not dead, luckily, but she stopped playing games once controllers got joysticks. I got good at controller joysticks, and dad followed, and mom prefers sharing a save with dad while he plays lol

[@dingothedingus6760]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@chucktimusprime5026]

Thank you all of you. My mom was 69 when she passed. I'm just glad I was there to see her off. Yeah my mom coudn't get the joysticks down either but she did master Bust-a-Move for the PS1. She couldn't play anything else lol.

Final glitch for the less nerdy: You're entering a pipe in a glitched way that causes the game to derp out and run code based on enemies' positions. By manipulating their positions you can cause the game to skip to the end.

Once when I was a kid, I played this game with a friend on his NES. I don't know if the cartridge was in the NES wrong, if there was something jut wrong with the cartridge, or if my friend just had a shoddy NES, but we turned it on, there was some glitchy images, and suddenly we were greeted with the end of the game. Never happened again.

[@ThisIsTeeKay]

Can you please not stretch 4:3 game footage to fill the 16:9 frame? I understand the temptation, but everything just looks fat and weird. That's my only gripe. Besides this, amazing episode! My favourite KZbin series, by far!

[@AStartShow]

Usually i would agree with you, but to be honest, I would rather have it like this than in previous episodes where most of the screen is static and not used. This is just showcasing a game also, with actual gameplay, I'd post in the ratio it was made to be viewed at. Funnily enough NES games are actually closer to 1:1 ratio.

[@ThisIsTeeKay]

Understandable, and it's your show. I'm still going to watch, regardless!

[@brumbogetbrum2714]

The hammer suit sliding sprite seems more like it was an intended placeholder for the case of obtaining the power-up while sliding, rather than being an unused sprite. It IS used. It’s just a rare occurrence.

[@LuzCeleste114]

Gonna be honest here, I listened to it 5 times and I still have no idea what you said in the last glitch.

[@General12th]

Luz Celeste I don't think Andy knows what he said either. It sounds pretty obvious that he's just saying what the glitch-finders wrote. I certainly couldn't put it in easier words.

[@TXFDA]

Luz Celeste What's hard to understand? You perform certain specific actions which write certain addresses to the game's memory. You them perform a specific glitch which causes the game to try and read that re-written memory. The re-written memory was re-written with specific code that tells the game to load the ending cutscene. It's similar to the more recently found Credits warp for Mario World on SNES.

[@crushbeast29]

+TXF Not everyone is a smart arse like you.

[@TXFDA]

crushbeast29 I was explaining the glitch? How does that make me a smart ass?

[@TXFDA]

Fenrir the Rrowdy I'm not into technical jargon really either..that's why I assumed it was fairly easy to understand. I wasn't trying to be condescending. I just honestly figured it wasn't hard to get. Certain moves in the game change certain parts of the code. A specific action activates the code. The code causes a thing to happen. Simple enough.

[@LegoWormNoah101]

That final glitch in one sentence: By placing enemies in specific locations and using the glitch pipe entrance, Mario is sent to RAM and from there, he can manipulate the code and trigger the ending cutscene.

[@ju1c31ng0t]

[@indignantatheist]

I absolutely love your videos. There are so many shows about glitches that are just like, "LOL, look how weird the game behaves after this glitch."

[@Pixelmusement]

The glitch with disappearing 1UP mushrooms is very odd when you consider that there's at least a couple giant "?" boxes in the game which release three 1UP mushrooms all at the same time, granted, they're in rooms with no enemies or such, so perhaps it's using sprite space which normally would be reserved for enemies? :o

[@Pixelmusement]

***** That, or they might be using sprite space normally used by enemies, since there's no enemies on the same screens as multiple 1ups. ;)

[@MegaZeta]

@@Pixelmusement I can almost hear your teeth grind as you weepily attempt to cling to your original assertion

[@TheGigaBrain]

Step 5 is basically TAS-only, and I'm not even sure about the "basically." It would take thousands of tries (no exaggeration) to get it correct as a normal player, and considering that if you mess up it has the potential to crash the game or the like... yeah.

[@iankeith]

TheGigaBrain This trick was done live at Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, iirc. I'd wager it's possible, just that it takes a *lot* of practice and research, like most speedrunning tricks.

[@TheGigaBrain]

iankeith Actually, I saw a video of that being performed in real time after I posted that comment :) I guess this will have to be an occasion where I admit that I was wrong.

[@iankeith]

TheGigaBrain Cool as hell to see though, isn't it? People have been doing a lot of research into doing these in a lot of games; it's been done somewhat in DKC and other games more and more often now.

Game Taco *A+start

[@Shikaku2]

5:18 is an engine bug that exists in mario 1, mario 2 jp and mario 3. Spawning a mushroom will kill a vine growing, since only 1 item is possible to spawn. The vine stop in Mario 3 is only possible in that stage. The item spawned doesn't matter.

[@IrisGalaxis]

But Mario 3 can support multiple items on screen. There are big question blocks that spawn 3 1ups at once. But they somehow managed to overlook the overwriting of powerups 😢

[@Shikaku2]

​@@IrisGalaxis At the same time. I guess I wasn't clear about that back then. The 3 1ups spawn in a row, not at the same time. If 2 items try to spawn at the same time the second item deletes the first, which includes vines growing, but once it's out it's fine. The vines that were already made don't get deleted but it's cut off early however

[@nthgth]

​@@Shikaku2the example shown in this video are also in a row, not at the same time. He hits a 1up block, the mushroom spawns. Then he hits the next one, that one spawns and the first mushroom despawns. Why doesn't that happen with the giant question block 1-ups?

[@autumn_breeze616]

That last glitch reminds me of the matrix. When he ends up in the final room, peach is crying because she's realized her real world was a lie and they are now in the real world (inside a video game but whatever).

[@lemonadogirl4082]

For those of you looking to do no-fire bowser in the Virtual Console version, that's been fixed in that iteration! Also, the pit will be narrower, making the fight harder.

[@sarysa]

5:20 looks to be because the vine counts as a powerup, and spawning a second powerup makes it disappear. Note how it vanished with the flower's arrival.

[@genblinko589]

Final glitch for the nerdy: This trick involves the pipe end trick glitch that takes you out of bounds where a glitch tile and enemy x-positions are used to execute arbitrary code to skip straight to the ending. Touching an invisible glitch tile makes the processor tries to update memory outside of the normal tile data at an address that reprograms how the processor interprets adresses. This causes executions to jump to an un-intended area of the ROM and execute incorrect instructions. Eventually the stack overflows and it starts executing RAM instructions beginning at a certain address which is just before the location of the player's and enemies' x-values. To get to the ending, three consecutive x-values are needed which come from the enemies on screen and their x-positions. By having these values and then using the pipe glitch in this way, Mario is taken out of bounds and then eventually to the end of the game, skipping the entirety of world 8. That's pretty mind blowing!

[@Metaknightkirby2]

Thanks for that last one. My brain hurts. :(

[@AStartShow]

Yeah, me too haha. Plus try saying everything I say in that section in one take, and you'll get another headache :)

[@ecwcwwf]

A+Start that last glitch: could you please explain how to do it one more time? I'm REALLY confused...

[@natnew32]

ecwcwwf TASvideos.org explains it 10x better; the game has to do something. but what? the instructions are located at a certain place, which is changed when Mario goes too far below the level. such is located at the x-position and sprite slots of the enemies. by manipulating them, they execute things using controller inputs. the controller inputs basically say "go to credits", so that's what the game does.

Something that's happened to me before is that in the very first level if you score so many points and check your item box after completing the level you will have 3 rows worth of p-wings. It happened about 2 or 3 times and it quit doing it.

[@leebearlive]

Every one of your glitch videos are very enjoyable! Great Job! :D

[@andrewbowers8402]

I have to wonder how people find some of these unbelievably complicated glitches. And if they're wasting their lives on video games.

[@andrewbowers8402]

but not a+start. His channel is freaking amazing. why does he not have 2 million subs at least?

[@ayylmao5781]

Ayyyyy mate fuck off.

BluePopsicleCereal I discovered a new glitch on Super Metroid when Ridley freezes completely I have it on KZbin it's called Super Metroid Ridley Freeze glitch.

[@TheBrawlUnit]

They study the way the game works and manipulate the code via certain actions, it's called "arbitrary code execution".

[@amarioguy]

Ayy Lmao Y U KILL PEOPLE IN AGARIO

[@DerMeister821]

The Bowser glitch works without going over into the next Bowser Room, you just have to go far enough to the left. If you take end up in that (next) Bowser Room via the route you took in his castle, the glitch won't work.

[@Rodzilla97]

i did a glitch where i shot the king with a fireball(during the cutscene when you have no control over Mario, wtf?) at the end of world 3. the fireball hit him, and made a noise, but didn't hurt him or anything. but his body had slight screen tear for a second when it hit. it was the switch nes online version, i recorded it

[@TompaA]

At the start of every Castle, you have 2 frames (Or just 1 if the previous level was you beating a fortress...) when Mario spawns where you can either jump or shoot a fireball.

[@IvanFranco120]

@@TompaA I didn't knew that bug, but may try that...🤔

[@TompaA]

@@IvanFranco120 Go for it, not too hard to do =).

[@johndouglas1294]

what he means is the game doesn't allow multiple items triggered separately. There is a room with three 1UPs and a flower, hit the flower first, and then the big one flower disappears. Hit the big one first, and then hit the flower and see what happens.

[@ecernosoft3096]

That dreaded wide screen...

[@IvanFranco120]

Its an old NES screen resolution, instead using the original with the black bars...

[@jish8681]

It’d be amazing if the last glitch involved Mario t posing 🤣

[@arthur78]

Wish video was in correct aspect ratio.

[@Invariel]

The 3-8 glitch doesn't require a star, and if I remember correctly, is just a matter of spawning the fire flower while the vine is growing, similar to the 'multiple 1-Ups on screen at the same time' glitch showcased immediately afterwards.

[@dylanmcfiggins5816]

now for someone to test these in the Nintendo Entertainment app on the Switch

[@arthursnyder6935]

These glitches should still work if you're playing it on the switch online version because I have done the iconic Minus World one there a few times

[@ADucksOpinion]

this is amazing! please keep making more! i love them!

[@theYTfox]

That last glitch HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Subbed btw.

[@AStartShow]

theYTfox thank you :)

[@SuperNickid]

+A+Start: When you try to attempt the glitch in World 3-8 the reason the vine stop growing, it was because while the vine was still growing you spond a power-up, and Power-ups and vine animation used one slot, and the slot they used his slot 6, this his why if they his a power-up on the screen, and you open another block containing a power-up the previous one disappear, the vine used the same rules, but only half of hit, the same thing can happen in Super Mario bros. the lost levels, with the vine near a power-up, the only difference his the vine completely vanish in lost levels, but you can still climb it if it his fully loaded first.

[@Hellwyck]

Am I the only person who doesn't say "dash" when numbering Mario worlds? I say "world seven, one"... Hmmm, interesting.

[@ShadowSora8491]

No, you're not. I say that, too.

[@AdamPlusStart]

Hellwyck I don’t say “Dash” too

[@matthewstone2545]

Hellwyck Nope, I put the dash when I make comments about mario levels but when I speak to someone about them, I don't say the dash

[@1BergerVongSchlauigkeitHer]

>stretching to 16:9 What the hell is wrong with you?

[@AStartShow]

Yeah I know right, it's not like this game is 26 year's old or anything :P

[@egitkrofl]

It was not intended to be stretched. Dunno about you, but I'd rather have black borders and a correct aspect ratio than a game that looks all squashed.

[@gilberttheregular8553]

YEAH I DONT LIKE NES STRETCHED TO 16:9

Another Glitch: Koopa Shell Clip In 5-4, If You Grab A Koopa While Being 2 Doughnut Blocks Away And Kick It, After It Hits The Left Block, It Will Go Through The Doughnut Blocks

[@velynepierre3428]

For those who don't understand the final glitch: Imagine you have a magical book with a hidden button (the glitch tile). When you press this button, it confuses the invisible storyteller (the processor) who is reading the book aloud. Normally, the storyteller uses index cards (the stack) to keep track of where they are. If the button press causes too many cards to be added to the stack, the storyteller gets confused and starts reading from a random card.In this confused state, the storyteller might encounter certain special words (x-values of enemies) in the right sequence. These words act like a secret code that directs the storyteller to the very last page of the book. By pressing the hidden button and having the special words in the right order, you can magically skip to the end of the story, bypassing all the chapters in between.

[@NitsuaGamer]

The music choice for the last glitch makes it look like a Creepypasta moment. Awesome exploit though!

[@cactusface6540]

On the last one I was like what???

[@QactisX]

+Dallas Pickens basically, the pipe glitch will tell the game to store the positions of the on screen enemies as the number of the room to load next. After the game somehow avoids crashing from the data dump after the pipe glitch, having the 2 shells in the pixel perfect position will execute the code to jump to the last run in the game. It may be possible that any number higher than the last room will still load the last room, making this way more easy to perform than it sounds. I'm still confused how the game would read enemy location data stored in the RAM and store that data in the room code somewhere else in the RAM as a result of the pipe glitch. That must mean that the pipe glitch REALLY breaks the game, and they probably don't even know how bad yet.
