Super Mario Bros. 3 - Part 2: The Dreaded Desert Twos

[@genericfriend2568]

When this comm was uploaded, I was 13-14 and I was struggling my hardest with depression and other issues. I go back to Mario bros 3 and this Comm for comfort. I just graduated from Highschool and this just makes me feel good.

[@esmooth919]

As someone who also suffers from depression, I'm glad you're feeling better

[@EdmacZ]

The BSC crew brought up a pretty damn good point in this video. I like Mario 3, and I will always love Mario 3, but I'm very sick and tired of modern games trying to be Mario 3. Just because I don't enjoy Mario 3 rehashing doesn't mean I dislike Mario 3. Mario 3 is still a fantastic game in it's own right and it's MANY imitators (New SMB Wii, 3D Land, New SMB 2, New SMB U) will always be second-class. It's like Sonic 4 (UGH) to the Classic titles. Just because Sonic 4 is a pale imitation doesn't make Sonic 1-3 any less enjoyable. It's why I enjoyed Super Mario 3D World so damn much and why the game was so fresh. Not only was it a great game, but it felt like a real original Mario title instead of just another Mario 3 imitation.

[@SashaandStorm]

I'll be perfectly honest, I like NSMB Wii and NSMB U over Mario 3. I feel like Wii did just enough to warrant its existence, and I thought that NSMB U had great power ups, creative level design, etc. There's also New Luigi U, which I think did a fantastic job of differentiating itself from other games with Luigi's handling, the more difficult secrets, the pace switch up by having a really short time limit, and just harder level design in general. I feel like if they didn't have the word _New_ in the title, they wouldn't get so much flack. I also think they would have gotten less flack if NSMB Wii was the first one in the series and if NSMB2 didn't exist.

[@SashaandStorm]

I also find that Mario 3 is just too barebones in comparison to Mario World, NSMBW, NSMBU, and NSLU.

[@EdmacZ]

SashaandStorm I agree, When NSMBU and NSMBWii aren't imitating Mario 3, they're brilliant games. Which is why I do not understand why Nintendo feels to need to burden them with a crutch they don't need.

[@strangevision99]

I agree with a lot of what you say but I also feel that SM3DW feels like a rehash of 3D Land. Of course I enjoy them both. I feel that Mario is always reusing elements from older games and when it tries to deviate from the formula too much you get things like Mario 2 USA, Mario Sunshine or Mario Galaxy. Now I think galaxy gets its fair share of acclaim but other titles that mix things up too much are often divisive and have people wondering why they called it a Mario game instead of creating a new IP and developing that further. So I can see why Nintendo doesn't shake things up too much, its probably not good for business unless they have a stroke of genius.

[@esmooth919]

SashaandStorm SMB3 barebones compared to SMBW? Um.....no. Try again.

[@sonicdude0115]

10:45 Actually, Ted, SMG is the most critically acclaimed game ever, with Galaxy 2 being third, I believe.

[@sonicdude0115]

I've never beat any of those, so I can't really say.

[@raysmashbrawl176]

12:46 and Johnny trades in a Lexus for a Kia.

[@RedBrawlSunFire]

I agree, the whole "Dessert as a second world" is abit old, but Galaxy 1 & 2 somehow manage to avoid, not to mention both were a new kind of Mario plat-former

[@NerdTypeZ]

Keep Masae. KEEP HER! She's great. She provides strong commentary, she's intelligent, she's funny. You guys should absolutely invite her on for more commentaries.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

I always liked desert levels that took their atmosphere from ancient Egyptian culture. Straight out sand dunes for miles types of deserts though...

[@esmooth919]

And that's one reason why I like the aesthetic of Sandopolis Zone, as well as the first kingdom in Mario Land 1

[@SashaandStorm]

Looking back on the NSMB games, I have to say that despite a lack of innovation, I really enjoy NSMB Wii, NSMB U, and Luigi U (though I think Luigi U did a pretty damn good job of switching things up). The original NSMB is just too simplistic (and that's saying something for a Mario game) and easy, and something about NSMB2 just bored me to death while playing it. 3D Land is okay, but you guys are right in that even though the 2D x 3D idea was interesting, it lacked the punch. On the bright side, I think that 3D World took that problem and blasted it into the sky. It's a huge improvement creativity-wise over 3D Land.

[@SashaandStorm]

***** Pretty much. Nothing particularly special but still a good time for the most part, some more than others (NSLU > NSMBU > NSMBW > NSMB2 > NSMB). And you should get on 3D World and the Galaxy games (I think you said before that you hadn't played either of the Galaxies). 3D World does a great job of significantly expanding on 3D Land's formula and making it feel like a unique experience rather than a Mario 3 homage (or ripoff, depending on your perspective).

[@SashaandStorm]

***** My boredom with NSMB2 probably clouded my judgement. So yeah, I should probably switch those around. And just make sure you get to Galaxy at some point when you have time. I understand the feeling of having way too huge of a backlog. As for your apology: 1. Most BSC watchers don't tune in right when the video is uploaded. Wait until the morning. 2. People have probably already forgotten from last time. Just don't worry about it. You didn't really do anything bad anyway.

[@Darkfawfulx]

I liked NSMB it was an enjoyable game. Now the fact I've only ever played Luigi U once and NSMBWii at a friends house on multipayer might effect that since I couldnt be bothered to play every NSMB game.

[@metashade4218]

I whole hardly agree with you on 3D world. In my opinion, 3D World is a classic styled Mario game done right. It feels like a 2D Mario game, but doesn't feel too generic, soulless or formulaic like 3D Land & the NSMB games does in my eyes. It offered a lot of fresh new ideas (As well as a new soundtrack...) that helps it distinguish itself from other recent Mario games.

[@metashade4218]

sonicgamer42 And to think I thought that game was going to be another generic Mario game when it was first revealed at E3 2013. Boy was I wrong.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

2:17 Zelda CDi King: you saved me

[@pingasluigi25]

The Desert theme really is a bad deal in Sticker Star, since you're expecting a genuine paper mario experience, and after the first world I was like "Okay, now this is where the game really picks up right? Oh no....just avery bland boring...desert area with frustrating puzzles and backtracking..."

[@SonicmaniaVideos]

Besides Thousand Year Door, all the Paper Mario games have Desert levels...

[@pingasluigi25]

***** Yeah but they weren't as bad as Sticker Star's desert area.

[@azure1474]

It is a tradition to have irritating desert levels in Mario. Shifting Sand Land took up the pyramid aesthetics, and didn't pull it off that well. Gelato Beach, the sandy area, has two of the most hated missions in Sunshine: the Sand Bird and the watermelon. Teehee alley has that Peach escort mission, Dozing Sands has the drill thing and Drybake Stadium has that godforsaken sticker puzzle with the hieroglyphs.

Speaking of secret game requirements, I believed the "Enter the space station at Mossdeep City when the rocket blasts off 100 times and then you'll go into space and be able to catch Jirachi" rumor, when I first got Emerald. I kept checking that place every day...

In Tales of Vesperia, the desert was fun and it was the 5th or 6th area you visit, I think.

[@Errox025]

[@ahchurro111]

I think I've only seen the treasure ship level once (not counting LPs), mostly because I've only beaten this game once or twice. Though I do remember playing the first 3-4 worlds or so a lot as a kid.

[@esmooth919]

I think I've seen the treasure-ship level five times total, and I've been playing this game since I was five

[@Toails77]

The jumping fish is called Boss Bass, the one underwater is Big Bertha, and the one from Super Mario World is Porcupuffer.

[@mattjaskowiak8484]

I had the players guide for this game when it came out, and I played soooo much that I practically memorized the card games. Also, the coin ship is probably easiest obtained if you do it on the very first level of the game.

[@ElecmanEXE99]

Tales of Vesperia had a desert area too, though it appeared a lot later than the second area.

[@underestimatedman1]

Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day, Mario?

[@AlluMan96]

The good thing about deserts in Tales games is that they're either spaced father or incredibly short. Symphonia definetly had an earlier example of it. I'd even almost count that as a world 1 equivelant. The stuff you do at the Tower and Iselia forest, that's more like prologue shit. Triet is definetly where the game actually begins. Aside from that, Eternia did have one quite a bit into the game and was the most briefly visited area in the game, Abyss did have one, Vesperia also had a short section in the desert and Graces had Stratha, propably the most exspansive desert section in Tales. It doesn't really make a differance in an RPG either way. Grasslands or sandy wastelands, it's all rubble under my feet and only really a backdrop to the next fight.

[@ElykTsorb]

I can only think of one example where a desert level was done particularly well, and was meant as the second level of the game. Donkey Kong 64 had a great desert level, probably because they incorporated the whole aztec theme into it as well.

[@TwilightNoirZ26]

In Rouge Galaxy the desert level is where you start.

[@superluigi88]

If it makes anyone feel better, Tales of Xillia doesn't have a desert at all, with the closest being a wasteland-ish looking highroad connecting two major areas that you cross pretty much without incident.

[@strangevision99]

There's a desert-ish section fairly early, just after you get that old man in your party. I think it was kind of Grand Canyon desert though as opposed to Egyptian desert though. I stopped playing around that point but I can't remember why.

[@superluigi88]

The gorge area was more of a windswept canyon imo, but a lot of players get discouraged by that area because it's the easiest place to get lost in the game due to it being so vertical in design.

[@strangevision99]

superluigi88 Yeah I remember I completed it and had to head back to town and thats where I stopped. I'll have to return to it since I generally like the Tales games.

[@YourFavoriteDakimakura]

I like the desert, if utilised well levels set in the desert are usually my favourite.

[@WingSlash]

In Tales of the Abyss, the desert area comes in fairly early in the game. However, up until that point, you had seen areas with copious amounts of foliage and crystal clear water so, it was done more so out of a need of contrast to what you had seen up to that point. Besides, in that area you're mostly traipsing around the bazaar and exploring an underground cave rather than purely exploring the desert.

[@strangevision99]

I think contrast is also the reason why games like Mario did it originally. You pass from lush green to desolate sand. I'd say its the reason for the fire and ice trope too. Well apart from Iceland...

[@587DeathKing]

The only time I can say I despise desert levels are just in the Fire Emblem series

[@crimsonspirit3036]

The one in FE6 can go suck a big one, same thing with the first one in awakening to some extent.

[@587DeathKing]

CrimsonSpirit for me the worst ones have to be in Sacred Stones and Radiant Dawn

[@crimsonspirit3036]

KelvinBelmont Oh God, i just started Sacred Stones, currently i'm on the chapter where you get Lute. Does that desert level have fog or is it just a pain in the ass for different reasons?

[@587DeathKing]

CrimsonSpirit pain in the ass

[@crimsonspirit3036]

KelvinBelmont Well i guess my playthrough is gonna get delayed even more now. Bad enough that i'm hooked on Tales of Xillia 2, Naruto Storm Revolution, my third playthrough of awakening and tons of other game that i've yet to finish, but that news just put Sacred Stones a bit more down in my priority list.

[@vgmralec351]

With the n-card game the bottom 3 from left to right are always Mushroom, Flower Star so that makes it a lot easier

[@IronFury]

There's actually two ways to get the treasure ship, however the second way is very similar to the first way. Instead of the 10s digit matching the multiple of 11, have it be a number that can be subtracted from the 1s digit that can equal 5, for example if you get 11 coins, get 5 in the 10s digit of your score. Then finish the level on an odd time. It sounds complicated, but once you figure it out, it's very easy to get every time.

[@szechwean]

I always go after the treasure ship in World 1-1, because that's probably the easiest place to get it in the game. You just break one brick (to get the tens place to 1), repeatedly get the P-switch blocks at the end of the level by going in the pipe up top to respawn them until you get to 11 coins, then hit the card box on an even number. That's the only place I know how do it, though.

[@Sesshoumaruflash]

Or something like that.

I was going to ask "Why the disdain for desert levels?" But they actually explained themselves pretty well here. The only desert level i don't like is Sandpolis Act 2, because first-timers WILL get lost.

Boss Bass is the one that eats you, Big Bertha is the one that spits its babies at you. Same sprite, different sex.

[@RubyRaggy]

Galaxy 2 was the start of the cash-ins

[@ROFLMAOtheNARWHAL]

Ted, the gyroscope is a computer component. Basically, it detects what position the 3DS is in (in this case, "upside-down") and sends a binary code that corresponds to that position to the CPU. So all you'd have to do in an emulator is find what that code is and make sure it's active while you're trying to evolve Inkay, which would have to be programmed into the emulator itself but is far from impossible.

[@papershadow]

Here's the distinction I remember seeing in a strategy guide. Boss Bass is the fish that jumps out of the water and tries to eat you. Big Bertha is an identical looking fish in the swimming levels, that spits out a Cheep Cheep occasionally as its means of attack.

[@Sora2588]

Tales of the Abyss had Chesodonia, which was the desert area there.

[@Luigifan305]

Here's who's who in the world of deadly Mario fish: The one in this video that jumps up and eats you = Boss Bass The underwater one that shoots babies from her mouth = Big Bertha The one in Super Mario World and New Marios = Porcupuffer The one with the sunglasses in Super Mario 64 = Bubba And for good measure... The derpy purple one with the buck teeth = Cheep Chomp

[@ProfessM]

I think Boss Bass is the one in this level and later on the same spirte is used for a fish that barfs up and then eats a smaller fish and that's Big Bertha. I think.

[@ScottieKonami]

Ah, the N-Spade game... Just like many other gamers, I too had all the patterns written down on little bits of paper. However, there's a bit of a trick that can make it easy without memorizing: most of the time, mushrooms/flowers/stars will have a match an L shape away (like the knight moves in chess). If you can nail down those, all that's left is the 10-coin, 20-coin, and 1UP matches.

[@Arthur2light]

Well the Reggis in Pokemon are still cryptic as hell if you do not have a Guide.

[@homuraakemi103]

And how do you expect to get Regigigas in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? It traded the Regi music in for the Regi crypticness. That's only the most Guide Dang It Legendary in that game. Need I also mention Cresselia, how to get all the Musketeers, and how to get all the Lake Pixies?...

[@papershadow]

+Ness Prower I mean, the conditions for the Musketeers and Pixies are weird, but once you get one, the others are just down to time of day to get. Regigigas legitimately is based on stuff that sounds like a Mew rumor (All 3 Regis during the day with a Nicknamed Regice holding an Ice item), how was anyone expected to figure that out on their own?

[@homuraakemi103]

Cresselia is luck-based without online, and Regigigas is indeed a league of its own. And they thought the Azure Flute Arceus would be too cryptic...

[@WuBoyFGC]

No no no, Boss Bass is the fish that actively trying to hunt you down, like in that last level. Big Bertha uses the same sprite, but it's the fish in a later World 3 level that spits out Cheep Cheeps.

Since you guys were talking about Nintendo reusing Mario 3 assets. Have they ever tried reusing Sunshine, Yoshi's Island, or even Paper Mario things in the new mario games? Maybe they could mix 3D World with Yoshi's Island into the new game. Or try to make a Mario Generations game, without being a blatant copy of Sonic Generations. Or hell, even make NEW, ORIGINAL world gimmicks. Or you know what? Make a sequel to Lost Levels.

[@onesonicguy]

You want a sequel to the hardest Mario game ever? I have an even better idea, And it'll save you some money too. 1. Get New Super Mario Bros Wii or U or Luigi U or whatever other NSMB game has been released on a console. 2. Get 3 friends. Instant sequel.

If they remove the gyroscope in a future model, then future generations will have an alternate means of evolving Inkay. Sort of how they gave us another means of evolving Milotic when they removed contests and beauty as a mechanic.

[@Beriorn]

The DS has you do all sorts of crazy stuff with its features: in Phantom Hourglass you have to make a copy of a map by closing your DS, then opening it again. Pretty good anti-piracy gimmick, too.

[@Tiggeralt]

IIRC, Boss Bass is the one that tries to eat you and Big Bertha is the one with a smaller fish in its mouth. They use the same sprite, so that's why people get confused. As for desert levels, I think it's more a case of the designers not trying than of deserts being inherently boring. A level based around the mesas of Arizona, for instance, could give you geometry that wouldn't be out of place in Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@TehJellyLord]

I would really argue against the “does nothing new” mentality for 3D Land and 3D World. 3D Land is the first time anyone has ever made a 1:1 recreation of their 2D gameplay in a 3D space. Cuz if you look at the other 3D games, none of them really play similarly to their 2D counterparts. The closest would oddly enough be Sonic Adventure, but that has other issues that hold it back from being a 1:1 recreation of 2D Sonic. I would say the fact that nobody has actually tried that before is enough to make 3D Land stand out on its own. For 3D World, yes we already had 3D Land, but 3D World simply expands upon 3D Land and introduces a lot of new platforming gimmicks and concepts to the series. 3D World to me feels like a Galaxy game, just without the gravity planetoid gimmick. Just super fun platforming at its finest. Not to mention also being the first 3D game in the series to have 4 player co-op.

I like Breath of Fire 3's desert, it was near the end of the game, it was vast and could really kill you if you didn't cross properly. I guess it might be looked at as annoying but it at least represented a desert fairly well. Other games have done similar things but I can't think of any other than perhaps FF7, but that desert wasn't quite as deadly, it was endless though.

Honestly, I'm glad we're moving past the days where secrets in games are almost impossible to find without any guidance, because how are you supposed to find them? I feel like everything in a game should be possible to find using nothing but what the game provides you. I mean, if video game magazines didn't talk about it, how would anyone have found the Hadouken in Mega Man X?

[@SonicmaniaVideos]

Those secrets were specifically made so you would buy the guides...

Big Bertha is the underwater Cheep that shoots its young out of its mouth. Boss Bass is the one that eats you.

[@masterofdoom5000]

...Journey did a pretty good desert level.....

[@mrnintendo88]

Ted is doing the chuggaa force laugh >~<

[@bigwingedkuriboh]

Great

[@JB-em2ot]

My brother accidently got the Treasure ship on world one on ACCIDENT!

[@JoNoLikesToPlay]

Uncharted 3 is so good that the dessert level is maybe the best level in the game.

[@YukoAsho]

Well the best fake Green Hill Zone by far is Green Hills Zone from Sonic 2 for Master System. That one, they weren't even trying.

Boss Bass is the big fish that swims on the surface and jumps out to try and eat you. Big Bertha is the big fish in the underwater levels that just swim back and forth, occasionally spitting out a baby fish before eating it. The big fish in Super Mario World are called Porcu-Puffer, and the one with the shades in Mario 64 are called Bubba. For more information, please visit the Mario Wiki, so that you too can stop living in ignorance.

Boss Bass was the fish that was chasing you and eating you in 3-3, while Big Bertha is the female of the species...I guess...that is found deep underwater and is more passive. The scary spiky fish that eats you in Super Mario World is the Porcupuffer.

[@SwordgunnerM92]

a game where mario can stand on a coin? that's something...

[@ssj4jason737]

I used to think The Golden Warthog was a real thing.

[@OCMOOO]

I have to say the BrainScratch guys are just excellent entertainment, It also awesome to spice to things up with guests! :D

[@leonardo3392]

im starting to relize that ted always says "if that make sense" every time he gives his viewpoint of a game their doing, its like a defense mechanism

[@forte4450]

tales abyss did have the zap dessert

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

OH NO MARIO HAS LOSE HIS FOOTS, NOW HE CAN'T WORK XD

[@MrLuigi66100]

You can fight the fiends from Nocturne in SMT 4. I never knew that. Welp time to waste about 60 hours of my life trying to fight something that is a 1 in 256 chance on a specific part of the map.

Everytime BSC introduces a new female guest, every girl watching wonders "Why couldn't it be me??" ...Or is that just me?

[@strangevision99]

Ha, I never thought about that. I'm male so I don't but whenever its a game I really like with a guest, I think the same thing, "Why isn't it me?"

[@Nada__Mohammed]

Landale Star It would be a dream come true, huh?

[@strangevision99]

Nada Mohammed I think it'd be cool to talk with them, I have lots to say, but I bet I'd just stay quiet and listen if I actually was invited!

[@Nada__Mohammed]

Landale Star Yeah it would be that weird space between wanting to say EVERYTHING while you have the chance, and not wanting to say anything because you're the in presence of such cool people (not to mention, say the wrong thing and everyone hates you)
