Hey Kosmic, what software do you use in this video to edit the levels? I already downloaded a few level editors a few years ago and the only one that seemed relatively good was detected as trojan horse by my antivirus, so I just threw all this crap in the garbage... If there is one that is good and not bundled with some malware I'd really like to try it.

Blue lava is also a thing in real life. I don't know the technical details, but from what I understand, it has something to do with the amount of sulfur and other elements in the volcano at the time it explodes.

[@tech6hutch]

Don’t lie, it’s about the flavor of Kool-Aid that God puts in the lava before it erupts.

[@Sqk.]

From what I’ve seen online it seems to actually just be burning sulfur and not actually lava

[@bernard832]

This is a cool idea and I love that you made different difficulty levels to meet a wider audience. Did you consider flying koopa bounces for levels like 3-2 and 5-1?

[@Kosmicd12]

That's the solution for part of 8-2, and it's an alternative solution to 5-1. The thing with parakoopas is they often won't behave the same way

[@KevinEontrainer381]

Blue Lava is real btw. There is a volcano in Indonesia called Kawah Ijen (or Ijen Crater) which is infamous for its blue lava. This phenonenon occurs when a large amount of Sulphur conbusts when in contact with lava (the usual red ones) which creates this blue flames. Kawah Ijen is known for its large sulphur deposit which causes this to happen. Actual Blue Lava has to reach the temperature of abou 6.000 degree Celcius which seems to be a lot hotter than the natural red lava we usually know.

[@fyighfreak]

0:37 That background noise actually had me taking my headphones off like "tf was that"

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

It's "freshwater", not "blue kava", because Mario is a saltwater fish, that's why he dies to water on the "normal" stages

[@bebe8090]

I made a level like this on Mario Maker 2. It was an exact copy of 1-1, but the floor was all made of spikes. Maybe it is just because Mario Maker has different physics than the original, but I recall only needing to make the invisible 1up block visible to make it beatable. If you went into the pipe on my version, you would just fall into spikes and die.

[@timdecker6063]

Simple idea turned into an amazing hack. It's crazy, but it reminds me of how some artists come up with a simple set of rules for a work of art, and stuff just seems to fall in place.

Thank you for your efforts Kosmic and all of those who worked on this hack. This was an interesting and cool way to keep Mario Bros fresh and different.

I would love to see a speedrunning community form around this hack :]

[@darioelsinapodo8448]

I find a little glitch in 1-2, where I get a checkpoint in a place that’s almost lava and you immediately die. The good part is that doing a precise jump just after you spawn you can actually get to the block, it’s actually funny and can be useful.

Hey Kosmic! Could you make a video explaining how the maze levels of SMB1 work? I'm curious about what goes on in the background to make them loop and whether they loop endlessly.

[@CatsT.M]

This reiminds me of the Portal 2 Backwards mod that one speedrunner made/there are different versions depending on weather you know the glitches or are just a casual player who does not need to remember every minute detail. A really good idea if you both want a challenge but also want a lot of people to be able to experience it.

[@LawWonderTV9]

I have just started to dabble with making my own Mario hacks myself. Haven't a clue on how to use the hack tools, but decided to go with a new cop style side scroller called the LawWonder Files. I did a few pallet changes so that Mario would look like my typical cop character. To be honest, I am quite clueless on level designs.

Technically, under-lava stages should be impossible to swim in… because Mario would shoot to the surface as fast as the viscosity allowed, with no way to descend. Even liquid stone is a lot denser than a human body.

[@bluecooler524]

I know its not water. that lava at 1-4 is not actual lava, it doesnt hurt you either but its not solid and takes you to the pit instead, meaning thats not-solid lava.

In 8-1 I jumped onto the buzzy beetle, between the two pipes with the 1-up, and landed on the second pipe. It bounced me pretty high. I'm not sure exactly how I did it but it was cool. Would a bounce off an enemy save frames or be faster in any way? It looks like it jolted me forward a bit. Though eyes can deceive.
