Evolution of Infinite Lives Tricks in Nintendo Games (1985 - 2025)

[@dragmire86]

Wario simply using debug mode instead of using some oddly specific setup like everyone else is so in-character for him

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

It feels like cheating.

[@dragmire86]

@ exactly, that fits Wario’s agenda perfectly

[@timothypitcher7996]

Wario will cheat his way to victory if he has to.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

I believe miyamoto be sneaking secrets into his games. Then we find it years later.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Picture if there was an easter egg where we are inside Nintendo headquarters and we see miyamoto On a computer making games?😂

[@Paperboy01234]

I love how Nintendo acknowledged this accidental exploit in SMB1 and used it as a tradition in future games.

[@eatingyoshi4403]

I can't remember where from but in an interview miyamoto said it was actually intentional

[@frsdhcfhcll5388]

​@@eatingyoshi4403 they just don't wanna admit it was a glitch

[@ppo1502]

@@frsdhcfhcll5388so was the multiple coin blocks, it was a glitch at first but then they made it a feature.

[@rpgfanatic9719]

This is just the physics of the new games not being changed.

[@Mikgwerd]

​@@eatingyoshi4403 so intentional that they removed the ability to do that for the SMB1 arcade version 🤭

[@JinnaGamingg]

5:55 New Super Mario Bros. is the first Mario game i played😇

[@PWPictures67]

I would like to say same, but not really, my first Mario games were Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World for the SNES. New Super Mario Bros. DS is the only Mario game I 100% though.

[@MintyYT124]

My first was super mario advance 2: super mario world (and thats the first ever video game I’ve played)

[@healthyminds9279]

Dude the GBA Mario series had the BEST crusty voice lines ever. When Mario says "Just what I needed!" it's insanely satisfying.

[@alvaroperez2349]

Guess other Nintendo Icons learned from the Master.

[@vigo2669]

The Super Mario 64 DS one is insane WTF.

[@kagemarunl]

NARPAS SWORD is apparently a widely known password next Justin Bailey, yet I've never heard about it until today. Interesting! Thanks for the info! :D

[@foxymetroid]

Fun fact: NARPAS SWORD0 was actually programmed into the game. The game is programmed to bypass the normal password algorithm when that code is inputted. Justin Bailey simply uses the password algorithm to do something.

[@RatedRMario21]

I have an easier farming lives in Mario 3 in 1-2 when you can jump on the Goombas infinitely spawning form the pipe and slowing your descent as Racoon Mario. same deal with the 3 Dry Bones in the start of World 2 Fortress

[@MP-X12]

2:46 You can do that trick on a buffed up Croc with Diddy Kong?! I wished I knew that a long time ago!!

[@IllousionsTrappedintheYouTube]

“buffed up Croc” HIS NAME IS KRUSHA

[@robertthechannel1799]

Even Nintendo approved of this trick

[@timothypitcher7996]

For future reference, its name is "Krusha".

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Like how you can't say diddy kong Anymore without thinking about diddy himself.😂

[@Serana_Daughter_Of_Rosalina]

I guess word got out about Mario's infinite lives trick lol

[@jeffyjeffy6239]

Yes

[@brendansfavoritesongswilli4128]

I like it when Diddy hit crusha head to get more lives.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Miyamoto knew he wanted to know If people would discover it.😂

[@AutisticKomeiji]

Oddssey & Bowser's Fury: Infinites lives? Never heard of them.

[@Operational117]

Who needs infinite life generation when infinite lives is baked into the game?

[@ehx3419]

Pretty sure you can get infinite coins rather quickly in some places in Odyssey, so I'd say that counts.

[@RoyAdaki]

Yeah, infinite coins, if they do have always the infinite life

[@martinignaciodoesstuff3995]

4:46 the most grateful mario

[@LouifRusso]

Great video again, keep up the good work!

[@tatsumakivee4201]

0:06 A classic exploit. 2:05 Never thought to hit the switch and go BACKWARDS for that many extra lives... 💀 2:49 You telling me a old ass GAMEBOY game had a debug menu much less that easy to access?? 3:40 Of course the drug stage got the infinite lives... 3:57 Stormtroopers shooting the main characters be like 5:43 Since Yoshi went from giving you infinite lives in the original to your first playable character, I guess this was their alternative 😂 6:05 A new take on an ol' classic. 7:15 Just like the New games after DS, repeating same ol' same ol'... 7:35 The classic except it feels intentional here 7:48 Feels like what you would do for infinite lives in 1-2 with the respawning Goombas of Super Mario Bros. 3, just with a jetpack (should have included that level here since its way earlier than World 3 shown)

[@jmcieslak0]

The Mario 3 one is nuts, I never would have thought of that

[@robertthechannel1799]

2:41 NINTENDO APPROVED

[@Scrat234]

Didn’t know Mario wasn’t the only one

[@wendywe37]

Me either

[@joshuamiller3701]

Amazing work to Nintendo Unity and Evolution of Infinite Lives Tricks in Nintendo Games (1985 - 2024)

[@TearyEyesAndersonReacts]

Games I used unlimited lives to beat were things like Ninja Gaiden 1 for NES and Simpsons: Bart Vs Space Mutants. Ninja had a one up that you could get repeatedly by leaving the area then coming back, and Simpsons you ring the bell on the strength test, by jumping off the high dive board.

[@HyperMarsonPlumber]

I like the infinite 1UP trick because I can continue to complete these levels without getting a game over screen causing my score loss. Also for those who don’t know about this video: - It only shows 1 trick per game. - In Super Mario Bros. 2 USA, *ONLY* the GBA version has score system to work the infinite 1UP trick (While the other versions don’t have so that means it won’t work). - In Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Levels, it’s basically the same trick as Super Mario Bros.. - These remakes are not included because they have the same as the original version (Except Super Mario Bros. 2 USA, which is included the GBA version).

[@ehx3419]

Quite a few of these games also have multiple different setups. Most infamously, NSMBW's infinite coin fountain glitch in 4-Castle (much easier in 2-player, but should be possible either way). Gotta love your creativity with some of these choices though.

[@truechaos6927]

is it really a trick if you are using a debug mode or actual cheat menu?

[@WilliamJester-sd7rh]

I’ve done the ones for Super Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Super Mario 3D World. Most of the game’s featured, I don’t have most of the games featured, and there’s one I’ve done in Super Mario Bros Wonder in the last level before the final boss.

[@Abidjan-o6m]

1:45 I didn't remember that Mario does this when he enters a level💀

[@Kakeen]

In SMW if you have a Yoshi, you can swallow a squished P switch and when you spit it out you practically have infinite P switches. Combine that with the grey P switch and you can max out your lives. Best place for infinite grey coins is the special world that has a lakitu.

[@joshdv1977]

that's really cool. I didn't know none of those except of course the smb1 one. and that dk country; would that be a cheat or glitch

[@superknucklesaztecgodretro5576]

En Sonic 3 para la Sega Genesis también un truco de las mil vidas

[@eurobeatmix1090]

In smb3 in level 1-2 the stomp goombas with Pipe is so perfect 😅

[@Scrat234]

And also in Mario world in the underwater one you can do the koopa trick basically in any Mario game

[@blancamarinatorresleguizam6483]

How to achieve inmortality: Find a stair-shape structure. Find a Koopa. Profit.

[@GabrielRolland-l4n]

7:34 This one feels entirely intended.

[@cameony]

Your trick on SMW is waaaay easier than mine I always go to the one bridge level with the cape and bounce off of the flying paratroopas by the 3 pipes

[@Nitosa]

You can get a infinite in level 3 (where you can push the pipes) by getting a shell, pushing a pipe next to another pipe drop the shell in the one block gap and bounce, wall slide, bounce, wall slide.... until 99 lives.

[@benjfr5723]

8:21 isnt NSMB2, the game full of coins, an infinite lives trick in itself ?

[@lourdinemichel6441]

This is a faster way to do it

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

2:06 today I found out... super mario world edition This can happen.

[@RazaKhan-h9x]

Now can you do Mario party 3 mini games

[@User-ue4j4wf3o]

Infinite lives are really a good thing in Nintendo games

[@SonVegeta23]

Super Mario Wonder doesn’t even have points! I was surprised not to see it go from 100 to 1 up😭😭😭

[@Oliveralejandrokalel]

Cómo te salen las opciones en el 007?

[@jasontachin]

RW:Very interesting

[@linconnuedetous]

Wait, what happen in kid icarus and metroid? Did the enemy hit make you regained you health?

[@foxymetroid]

You lose health in Metroid, but the energy counter is programmed to loop around when it gets below a certain point.

2:50 i wish you could do this in today's nintendo games

[@Scrat234]

And you forgot the lost levels and all stars and normal smb2

[@HyperMarsonPlumber]

In the NES & SNES versions of Super Mario Bros. 2 USA, the 1UP trick won’t work because they don’t have score system, only the GBA version has. As for Lost Levels, it’s the same trick as the original Super Mario Bros.. Also, it only shows one trick per game.

[@Koopa_Troopa-l5e]

For why?

[@andrewoliver1330]

Huh, thats not my Super Mario World spot

[@mariosnum1fan]

How many Koopas were harmed in making this video?

[@btnskillsh0t810]

Just one... but really badly

[@princessCashel]

@@btnskillsh0t810 It's the same koopa in all the different games. It's like Groundskeeper Willie in Treehouse of Horror V.

[@MrEvilbyte]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Not a real Infinite Lives trick, but you can farm them pretty fast. On the first World 2 level (Hot-Head Hop), Team throw onto the entrance to the level. The dark chest has a 2up. Afterward, just Start+Select back to the map screen, and do it again (you have to have already beaten the level to do this). Donkey Kong Country 3. Same trick as in DKC2, only you do it in the very first level of the game. There are 2 1up Balloons up there.

[@gabrielorion5372]

6:06 ba ba

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

My cousins discovered the first one Years ago.

[@jeffyjeffy6239]

6:05 bah bah

[@linconnuedetous]

Mario created the infinite live trick ---------------------------------------------------------------- Change my mind

[@veghesther3204]

In the case of Mario 1 the 99 lives then DIE for a game over is only on the NES game the Mario All Stars 1995 SNES version allows you to get over 100 lives DIE and NOT get a game over as soon as your killed so that die glitch is only on the NES version of Super Mario Bros 1.

[@jeffyjeffy6239]

5:53 my favorite

[@BLUE-jo7ln]

Next video must be king dedede, meta knight and whispy woods battles and appearances

[@jeffyjeffy6239]

The infinite lives trick will always endure to this day. For me the best one is SM64DS's, gaining lives by touching a wooden plank XD.
