20 Weird Glitches in New Super Mario Bros. DS - DPadGamer

[@DPadGamer]

A few things: the current schedule is new videos every week on Saturday @ 11am PST, and streams every week on Tuesday @ 3pm PST. Wanted to start the year off with a nice, fun, video. Got lots in the works, so I hope you'll stay tuned :)

[@meriotroid]

ok seeing 1080p NSMBDS gameplay is actually kinda trippy lol

[@idontwantsubs6694]

Probably 3DS being used

[@diamc23]

definitely an emulator, a 3ds displays games in original resolution iirc, plus there visual bugs that i’ve only seen in emulation (like the overworld empty spaces overlapping the rest of the path)

[@UnityTrap]

He is using a modded version of DeSmuME that can make 3D models high quality

[@defaultdan7923]

yeah lol. he’s using a ds emulator and the original game, no tricks, just it’s getting displayed at 1080p

[@RebornAudio]

ok

[@ControlledDissonances]

You know when a normal level makes you ragequit so hard that you just start mashing buttons on the start screen. That’s how I found out about challenge mode. Then I forgot it existed till just now. So thank you for making me want to dig out my copy of NSMB DS. I appreciate it.

[@storm10117]

I know of a glitch in this game that I haven't seen documented anywhere. Could you maybe cover it yourself one day? That'd be cool. Anyway, here's how to do it: Go to any level where you can hold something and be under a ceiling that prevents a Mega transformation. (1-2 is easiest.) You need to have a Mega Shroom in your item slot. Grab anything holdable, like a shell, (or in 1-2, a spring from the lower path) and head to your ceiling of choice. (If you choose 1-2, break the lower path at the beginning before doing anything else.) You need to make sure you don't have any power-ups on Luigi for this to work. (It doesn't matter which bro you are for this, but I think Luigi needs some representation.) Hold the item, tap the Mega Shroom, and make sure Luigi can get through some of his growing animation before shrinking back down. Let go of the item as he is shrinking. You'll know if the glitch worked if Luigi is holding an invisible item. It can be inconsistent, but this method works most reliably for me. This now makes Luigi and anything he does very wonky-looking. If you pick up anything else, the game will crash. Sometimes before the item is in Luigi's hands, and sometimes a few seconds after throwing it. It's also ridiculous looking if you can get to a level where you can perform the glitch and reach the end without making a transition, like a pipe for example. The weirdest thing besides the crash has to be what I discovered while doing this in 2 Player mode. Go to the Ice level in multiplayer. This level not only has a shell you can hold, but also a blue shell turtle, the only one in the whole game. Once you activate the glitch, get the blue shell and either crouch or start spinning. One of Luigi's hands is enlarged significantly and his head is sticking out of his shell. It's weird, but I found it somewhat interesting to say the least.

[@brickbuild-legostudio6121]

if you can, recreate these in desmume and make a video. the instructions are kinda vague and complex

I couldn't replicate it... I grab the item, use the mega shroom, let go of the iten mid shrinking and nothing happens! The item just falls on the ground

[@donielf1074]

Mario doesn’t change form, only size. That’s not Gigantamaxing; it’s Dynamaxing.

0:10 how did Nintendo miss that? Looks like someone didn’t play test. Also it appears basically all of these, developers didn’t play test at all.

Hi! I really missed your glitch videos, please keep them coming!

[@camerongable9868]

I have discovered 2 more glitches. In the ghost house with bruisers (world 3 I think) if you are mini and land on the stairs just right, you can go through them. The world 5 ghost house, in the room where you get the spring from a hidden block, if you are mini and land on the hidden block (with it still hidden) you will slide across the room.

[@Patolagos]

It would be amazing if Nintendo made a Mario game with HD sprites (not realistic, just HD) because ive seen some enemies from this game are actually sprites and they actually look pretty good. *Except for the goombas and koopas, they are cursed*

In NSMB Wii, I did a similar thing to Mario displacement by freezing a Bullet Bill as soon as it comes out of the cannon.

[@whirl3690]

He went "Now he's LakiTUNDRA! Cause he's..." and then Chrome froze. The power of puns.

[@averagebritishguy7082]

Not really a glitch, but still a pretty funny thing I haven't seen anyone else talk about: In any vertically scrolling levels, the mini map on the bottom screen still uses the horizontally scrolling map, so as Mario rises and falls throughout the stage, the image of Mario on the bottom screen will constantly move backwards and forwards to keep up with it. If you die in one of these stages, as Mario performs his death animation in which he falls of the screen, the image of him on the second screen will continue to rapidity move backwards to keep up with it.

Can we appreciate how the art style in this games is beautiful compared to the one in Wii/U/switch New super mario bros games. They should’ve brought this style to Mario maker 2.

[@doodledangernoodle2517]

I agree it looks really good for a DS game, I would much rather prefer Super Mario Land 2 or All Stars variants of 1 and 3 as graphics styles. Seeing as NSMB's graphics are basically just NSMBU's but at a lower quality. And it would probably look rather weird on a Switch console and blown up on a TV. But if they brought back the Blue Shell or Mini Mushroom, then I think it would be worth it. But good idea nonetheless. It wouldn't hurt to not include it, it just wouldn't be my preferred style
