Being really good at a game doesn't mean you don't die. It just means the ways you die are much more interesting.

[@mr.whimsic6902]

18:19 is where you can see the rare glitch

[@Mordecai02]

Thank you! you''re doing God's work here.

[@talkalexis]

yay

[@kewltony]

I think it's a recurring maze but he jumps through the blocks.

[@keiharris332]

Thanks. Felt like I got click baited.

[@litelbrown]

I like how everything in this video is fine and is actually all chill.

[@qwertious]

Ok how did you do that, right when I read this he said those exact words

[@EnigmacTheFirst]

“Hey Mario. This airbnb kinda mid. Got any Fritos?” Was not expecting that out of Toad.

[@brandonmelendez1941]

Kosmic is such a gigachad and a legend that I’m really not surprised about him discovering things so incredibly rare and obscure

[@Mordecai02]

Apparently not gigachadly enough to put the name of the game he's playing in the title of the video :P

[@Kosmicd12]

@@Mordecai02 It's in the literal first second of the video, visually and spoken out loud, and I maintain a spreadsheet with the name, video, and ips patch of every hack I play, for your convenience.

[@Mordecai02]

@@Kosmicd12 Well, yes, but someone who _hasn't watched it yet_ might click on it thinking it refers to vanilla SMB, or pass it up if they're looking for videos on romhacks. It's for this reason that appending the title with a simple separator or parentheses & the featured game/mod/hack is a common KZbin practice for videos like these. Also I wanna say that the video (and the romhack) itself is quite entertaining and I liked watching it 👍

I love how there are arrows telling you to go right when there's no other direction to go

[@SilverPwns]

The overworld music is from Sonic 1 on Master System and Game Gear. It's a remix of Bridge Zone.

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

Which itself is a remix of Together Again by Janet Jackson. 😉

[@fridaykitty]

@@Haywood-Jablomie Actually, Together Again came out AFTER Sonic 1 8-Bit. So I guess Janet Jackson remixed a Sonic song? 😉

[@rosilinathedragon4382]

yooo the overworld theme is a remix of Bridge zone from Sonic 1 (8 bit)

[@DrakieDragon]

bridge zone music fits the chill aesthetic of the romhack really well

[@NileR]

Hey Kosmic, just wanted to tell you, that I actually pulled this glitch off in the original SMB, but on PAL version in combination with a floor clip and breaking the block behind the castle... just saying because you said it wasn't possible because of the timer... I even made a video about it

[@Kosmicd12]

oh yeah that would definitely be a way you can do it! That should be doable on quite a few stages, even on ntsc!

[@NileR]

@@Kosmicd12 I didn't know that was possible on nstc, but I would love to see you make a video on it

[@haribo3937]

@@Kosmicd12 You can do it in 8-3 by getting to the right side of the screen so that you warp to the left after grabbing the flagpole and then mario eventually ends up walking to the right forever

[@Kosmicd12]

@@haribo3937 that will put you in the pit. The screen slowly moves to the right but it will eventually transition. I'm pretty sure it won't reach this point

[@haribo3937]

@@Kosmicd12 if you grab the top of the pole, the timer never counts down and the screen will never transition

[@nonamelegend_vapor]

Hey Kosmic, just want to say I appreciate you doing the stuff i don’t have time or resources to do anymore haha (exploring romhacks, not speedrunning lol). Stay cool

[@bluestaggo]

The overworld music is Bridge Zone, isn't it?

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

It's Together Again by Janet Jackson

[@juiceala]

Yes

[@emilyofjane]

This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing rom hacks I’ve even seen!

[@MaxOakland]

every ROM hack Wednesday is a successful ROM hack wednesday

[@ShadowPlushGaming]

The sound track of the overworld theme is the song that played for Sonic 1 on the Master System.

[@doshimona]

i was checking the comments to see if anyone else caught that. really great song. i always wished we could've heard it in a genesis sonic game

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

It's Together Again by Janet Jackson

[@kumada84]

17:13 Pixel-perfect editing 👀

[@cito9491]

I rarely watch you but every time I do, I love it; great video!

[@WillhiteStephen]

I finally finished watching all of the Romhack Wednesday videos!

[@keiharris332]

17:18 is where kosmic clips up top and the runs right so far the game starts to glitch.

[@cubeyblok793]

very nice and entertaining as always!

[@wolfguy423]

Been working on making a kaizo inspired smb1 hack, boy is it hard. props to the creator.

[@bryantnonya8704]

That is so funny to me when you jump on a platform expecting it to come back up but it continues down into the pit LOL. Dude you just got to assume that none of them are going to come back up 😂

[@jeeper3]

Always the freshest Mario content!

[@ewetwentythree]

The rare glitch is burned into my brain. I have a phobia for graphical glitches in games and this one makes me physically uncomfortable every time I see it

@@moikkis65 Nope, it's called Verzephobia. Also nice pfp

[@moikkis65]

[@barbarictearemedy]

I love this romhack, but my favorite part, by far, is the music. I adore the music in this.

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

The first song is a remix of the Bridge Zone song from Sonic 1 Game Gear/Master System... which itself is a remix of a Janet Jackson song called Together Again

[@fridaykitty]

@@Haywood-Jablomie Together Again came out in 1997, while Sonic 1 8-Bit released in 1991, so really the reverse is true!!

[@flames2089]

It's been so long since last vid. Finally, yay.

[@Mister_Clean]

Those piranha-man'ts are nightmare fuel

[@Mythraen]

I like how Kosmic is so good at the game that he doesn't realize the reward for the top path is that it's much safer... Although, he did then die on the bottom path.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

5:32 "so bad" everyones gotta be a forkin critic; not like they could just help him improve it or anything >.>

[@linkthehero8431]

Did the hacker replace the usual ground music with the Bridge Zone theme from Sonic 1 8 bit or am I crazy?

[@juiceala]

The overworld music is Bridge Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog 8bit

[@KattKirsch]

Finally... Wednesday, officially.

[@crithitjace]

Such a random use of Sonic 1 Master System music

[@JakeRazorClawson]

Small Starbomb mario sprites are funny, overall good hack

[@chopperbrosadvance9760]

You finally played all day nippon!

[@knownas2017]

Now I want to know what happens when you glitch through the wall to enter world 5-1, but don't scroll the screen all the way.

[@Kosmicd12]

The warp zone at the end of 4-2 you mean? The pipe leads to 5-1 still. The whole reason minus world/glitched world 5 warp works is because the warp zone basically defaults to that world 5 warp zone, when it hasn't loaded fully yet.

[@jackswell3]

Nice slippi hat!!! ❤ also great video! 😊

[@resecle]

0:47 star of david

[@ExplosionsCentral]

the overworld BGM is Bridge Zone from the 8-bit version of sonic 1?

[@---Dr._Eggman---]

AKA Minecraft Far Lands - Super Mario Bros. version

[@computersocsci]

It's way late now, but it would be cool if you gave each rom hack a rating out of 5 or 10

[@asyncasync]

That is basically the Super Mario Far Lands.

[@adre2194]

Is that Bridge Zone from Sonic 1 8-bit??

[@TehPuertoRicanSpartan]

18:20 he called it

[@dtvdavid]

I thought you will play "Shiny Teeth" in bonus world. :D

[@jan_kulawa]

that "huh?" at 14:57 tho

[@blueribbs6490]

does anyone know what the overworld theme in this hack is? i swear i've heard it somewhere else before

[@fridaykitty]

It's Bridge Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 8-bit!! But you also could be thinking of Together Again by Janet Jackson, or even the Full House theme lol they all sound similar

[@orsonzedd]

What's the overworld theme from?

[@olds86307]

they really used the smw beta sprites

[@koopakape]

Am I the only one who wishes he'd see what sprite Bowser turns into when killed with fire (or in this case, bombs) instead of going for small fire every time? Lol

[@Kosmicd12]

This is rarely (if ever) changed in my experience. You can usually count on it being: W1 - Goomba W2 - Koopa W3 - Buzzy beetle W4 - Spiny W5 - Lakitu W6 - Blooper W7 - Hammer Bro W8 - Bowser

[@minusa222]

One time I was playing the original super mario bros and all of a sudden in 1-2 it glitched and all the sprites just turned into random numbers and crap. I accidentally reset the game and couldn’t get footage. It might have just been an emulation glitch because I was on emulator though. I still can’t replicate it and found out what caused it.

[@Kosmicd12]

@@CubeXGameDev it happens in those spots because there are coins on top of bricks, plus enemies. It's a combination of brick breaking + dispelling particles + collecting coin + stomping enemies + awarding points for breaking brick + awarding points for collecting coin + updating coin count + awarding points for stomping enemies + updating flashing coin at top of screen + updating timer. All of that is enough to lag a lot and cause some corruption

[@jckstudios7693]

First level is bridge zone from sonic 1 sms/gg

[@KernelLeak]

So you're saying if Mario runs far enough he'll noclip out of the world and into the backrooms?

[@ArloMathis]

Or the Farlands.

[@Macc_]

14:48 - 15:43 The very blue colour palette, the enemies, the "bomb bars", the cushion-looking pattern on the islands, and especially that weirdly calm yet kind of sad music, all makes this feel very dream-like. Now I'm curious if there are hacks inspired by people's Mario Bros.-related dreams, like some kind of bizarre Yume Nikki x Super Mario Bros sort of thing.

Making this hack was a huge learning experience for me, it was my first hack and I learned a lot just from watching my friends play it. I was actually inspired to start making smb1 romhacks by watching romhack Wednesday! I'm glad you think shades is one of your favorites btw, I'm very proud of the level design in that one!

[@Kosmicd12]

You made 3 hacks insanely fast. Were they just uploaded to romhacking dot net around the same time or were they actually all made in just a few weeks?

@Kosmic the first one was an older project that I lost interest in and then finished in September, but the other 3 hacks I made were made in a week each!
