CARL Finally Got His REVENGE On ME! (Year of the GUTS) Super Mario Maker 2

[@Failuigi41]

I love how the softlock music is the ONE thing that keeps playing in frozen time. It could not be more perfect

[@anonarat]

The words 'Hard Lock Counter' tells me everything I need to know about this level.

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

I love that Carl is just the nicest and most wholesome guy and accumulates a bunch of goodwill from everyone and then throws it all away in an instant. Love both of your videos

[@jtosety]

I think you misunderstand: he pours all his malice and desire to watch people suffer into these levels and that leaves him as such a wholesome guy outside this that everyone forgives him for these evil levels

[@officialb2wade313]

@tosety best Carl description yet

[@TrollMagic1987]

This has got to be hands down THE BEST TROLL level ever created. 1. Hardlocks. 2. Softlocks. 3. No anti-softlocks. 4. Guts 5. Geek falling for every troll many many many times.

Not a single off-screen thwomp though

That's GUTS

[@yellalot101]

I said the same thing 🤣

[@eliotdriver1100]

Somehow, Tanuki Dan got through the heart section multiple times without getting hardlocked. It baffled everyone, especially Carl

[@sinteleon]

To be fair, everyone got experience in these "antisoftlocks" with that christmas level. :P

[@kekke2000]

Without getting the star aswell. True god gamer.

[@charliesteiner2334]

I bet it's that you can hit the wigglers as long as they're not at the surface.

[@Rafutah]

OH my god this is glorious I can't stop laughing. 'There's no softlocks, relax' LMAOOO. I love this trolly rivalry, and the ideas that come out of this are actually insane

[@Greywander87]

Worse, "There's no anti-softlocks, relax." No antis, just actual softlocks as well as hardlocks. You know, the very things anti-softlocks were designed to avoid. Well, softlocks anyway. Not really much you can do to get out of a hardlock if you've already triggered it. That said, I wouldn't put it past someone to figure out how to do an anti-hardlock. As I understand it, the game is still running during a hardlock, it's just that it's stuck waiting for a function to finish running that will never actually finish. If there was some way to abort that function and force the game to continue, then maybe...

[@Larree17]

@@Greywander87 this level was Carl’s attempt to make a bunch of anti-hardlocks

[@shadowridley]

Geek's love for bridges FINALLY serves a purpose! At least she found the p-Switch. DGR went almost half an hour not seeing it an repeatedly trying to beat the 5 golden swings.

[@sdsign4229]

Real Civil Engineer would love this!!!

[@TrollMagic1987]

No no no, the level that makes her love for bridges serve a purpose is a troll level by "Scriv" called "#Gerk Builds A Bridge" (course ID T9N-1GL-1KG)

[@livedandletdie]

Well Dave isn't exactly the cleverest fish in the ocean. His wife agrees as well.

[@shadowridley]

@@livedandletdie But his "IQ" might suggest otherwise. Although I have a rather good book smart skillset, and almost no real world skill set. So I guess it depends on what you're measuring

[@chernobyl169]

My favorite part is how she never figured out that she could avoid a lot of pain by starting over just before the hardlock happens.

[@shadowridley]

Oh no. She knew. She refuses to start over in fear of the Karen emotes hitting her chat.

[@Bobbias]

I'm guessing there's probably a jump table containing pointers to different functions based on the wiggler's state, and bumping the wiggler out of the water changes the state to a value which does not have a proper entry in the jump table, leading the game to jump to an invalid pointer and hang. The title screen troll was absolutely brilliant.

[@Mr7Shane]

the game isn't frozen, the music is playing

[@SealFormulaMaster]

@@Mr7Shane The game technically is frozen. There are a ton of reasons why the audio would still play despite this crashed state depending on the engine, how the software was designed, the hardware, and so on. Sometimes the processes for game and music are separate, meaning that while the game has crashed and is frozen, the music will still play whatever was last playing, and because there's no further instructions being sent, IE: Stop music, the radio will continue to play that music until you reset or the hardware dies.

[@galewin8942]

I'm gonna guess it's simpler than that. It looks like wigglers aren't really knocked away by the shellmet when they're barely underwater, causing continuous collisions that overwhelm the game.

[@zitronenwasser]

@@galewin8942 I'd think this, jump table sounds very unlikely. Could also just be the main game loop having a "return" in it for undefined behaviour to avoid a crash (well that didn't work out did it) and "knocking out of the water" was probably missed on wigglers specifically, so there is nothing defining what the game should do, so the main game loop just keeps doing nothing, while the music on a different thread keeps playing as normal. Might also be an event based system and no events get sent anymore because of the return

[@LemonSk8]

Basically yeah. The game just doesn't have it programmed for a wiggler in the water to be bumped from below by a shellmet.

[@GigasGMX]

How does Carl manage to escalate the evil every single time he makes a new MM2 level?

[@TheMongral]

To quote the man himself… “It’s Just Good Game Design, Folks.”

[@NegoClau]

I guess that's the reason he became an actual scientist.

[@mikelytou]

Maybe by being "such a nice guy"?

[@alvianekka80]

Everytime Carl plays troll level, he absorbed evil thing from each level and combined it in his own level.

[@TmOnlineMapper]

@@alvianekka80 Yeah. Carl isn't playing troll levels for fun. He's playing them to absorb all their evil energy to then let it out every few months!

[@Anusien]

I love how excited Geek is for CP1 in a level with hardlocks.

[@shieru2207]

That final minute had me in stitches. Well done Geek!

[@benmaharaj6854]

And love how Carl will play trolls and spaghetti, go carlblind, and get played like a fiddle, but in between he's seeing things he likes, not even trolls just basic concepts or memes, that he turns into evil masterpieces.

[@JacoDeltaco]

honestly I think Carl want people to make those level for him. he love true evil

[@PerfectZeroMusic_]

2:58 "And why was i not informed of it first!!" XDD

[@ryanfroula6479]

9:00 Geek managed to find a softlock even DGR couldn't.

[@scottishduck88]

I like that she praises Carl saying that it wasn't that bad and was just funny because it didn't have long hard sections between the hard locks... That's just because he ran out of sprites. He's not really that nice.

[@luigiongaming3959]

The most shocking thing about watching every person play this level is how ungodly long it took each of them to learn to start over instead of closing the game. Geek unfortunately never learned, much like carl himself.

[@rynabuns]

she knew she could start over, she just didn't want to karen

[@luigiongaming3959]

@Ryna why is that considered being a karen??? I don't watch geeks channel so I'm unaware of how that is in anyway connected lol

[@Splitcyclewastaken]

@@luigiongaming3959 from what I understand, Geek gets "Karen" emote spam if she starts a level over for some reason, and it's become a meme in her community to make fun of her for starting over. So by allowing the hard lock or closing the game as if she hard locked instead it's like taking her loss to the hard lock because she deserved it. It's like losing with grace and dignity.

[@Anusien]

Never thought the wind section would be the nice part of a Carl level.

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Carl’s such a nice guy. A level with no soft locks!

[@Adyj-zx6ol]

The "Don't Read" after CP1 was a softlock.

This was as good as I had hoped, I never watched Carl make it as I always like the suprise, but this was pure mad scientist evil 😂

Carl managed to create a level where you actually want to die, because else you will face a fate worse than death (Hardlocks)

[@ianlehman8342]

The sheer joy of a bridge engineer winning because of the bridge making it possible to reach the finish is beyond description

Hardlock 11 is actually a softlock

[@CaptainCarrot100]

I watched DGR play this level 1st and knew what was to come. Totally enjoyed the different styles :-)

[@Greywander87]

I think if I made my own Mario Maker style game, I'd add categories for glitched levels and hacked levels. And probably just outright give full scripting control for levels the creator wants to flag as "hacked". This way, levels such as this that feature hardlocks or other glitches can be sorted into the glitched category, while those with hacks such as the blocks you can walk through could be sorted into the hacked category, and then both those categories could be excluded from whatever Endless mode exists. This would allow such levels to exist without ruining the fun for people who don't want to encounter them. I would likewise add a troll category, though I may or may not exclude that from an Endless mode.

[@Splitcyclewastaken]

Endless Mode, which excludes glitched, hacked, and troll levels by default, and have a separate modifier that allows you to include levels tagged as troll levels, or a series of boxes to check that let you add in the glitched levels as well.

[@GospelArtRocks]

The title screen was amazing for a finish
