Federico The Puppet Master

[@CarlSagan42]

Who else wants to see a puppet show, minus the puppets? Let's see a show of hands..

hi

[@ConManAU]

Sounds good to me - no strings attached!

[@anphoneron]

Hand 1(narration): There once was a hand, named Bump, a hand with no thumb. *enter Hand 2(Bump)* Hand 2(Bump): I'm going to the Finger Festival! It's finally time! *cut to transition. Finger Festival appears in full celebratory swing* Hand 3(festival side-attraction host): Are You missing fingers? Have You been victim to the 4-finger fallout? Would You like to save hundreds on your car insurance? Gather 'round! We offer fingers to all! There's also a gecko nearby but we mostly give free fingers! *cut to Bump in the crowd* Hand 2(Bump): (internally) finally! I can't believe it's real! I'm going to be a full hand! Complete! A Real boy! (Externally, joining the exuberant shouts of the excited crowd): me! I do! I need one! Help me! I came just for this! Hand 3(host): we know you're excited. Please, relax. There are new fingers enough for all of you. Now then, to turn this chaos into order all you need to do is sit quietly and hold the following position in the air, and we'll be around to give you your new and better than ever digits. Now, all you need to do is give us a good old thumbs up! Give us a thumbs up and we'll get to you in no time! *cut away and slowly pan from a now black and white sky to Bump's expression, a handful of emotion.* *begin playing tragic music* *see Bump's disappointed tears hit the ground, devoid of color, an incarnation of the world lost of all meaning* Hand 2(Bump): ...th-they will pay... they will pay for this. They will ALL pay for this injustice. *begin sinister music, crescendos as it zooms in on Bump and then fades to black* We hope you have enjoyed our: Show of Hands Tune in next week to see how our antihero Handles this situation. This message brought to you by Geico.

disgusting

[@brightpowder_cena]

The fiddle playing over the star music was beautiful

[@FatedHandJonathon]

The first hidden block, as created by Miyamoto in level 1-1, is actually designed to *prevent* you from accidentally jumping down a pit. It was only after that when its tremendous power for evil was discovered.

[@exilewarrior7760]

This is like the invention of dynamite

[@OmniscientWarrior]

Then Nintendo later added a block that wasn't hidden, and hid it.

[@FatedHandJonathon]

@@OmniscientWarrior ...What? I don't follow you.

[@JUNK_ZONE]

Just like doors can be a way out, they can also be used to keep you locked in.

[@MrSupahlovah]

carl seeing the spikes at 12:50 and then immediately forgetting and falling into them at 12:58 is the most carl thing i've ever seen

[@BradGreer]

And then completely forgetting they're there _again_ after getting accustomed to the twice-twice room.

[@KainaX122]

On a scale of ‘One’ to ‘Carl’, how much of a ‘Carl Move’ would you say that is?

[@simcowgames981]

Could have been a mushroom platform there hidden and the switch needed hit for next room.

[@AidanWR]

Bold of you to assume he saw the spikes

[@TactfulWaggle]

Pretty sure he didn't even see the spikes

[@myhairhasamindofitsown]

Carl is no longer fiddle. Carl is now string quartet.

[@cloud09gaming]

Loved the interview from Federico at the end. It's great to hear stuff from their point of view. A true music master haha.

[@captaindapper5020]

100% the best part! I had a best friend growing up whose family was from Honduras! Always wanted to visit

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

Yeah it was really cool, but the voice honestly caught me off gaurd for a second, I always have different views of people like there where I haven't heard their voice but know they exist :P

[@brightpowder_cena]

Federico's Untitled Troll Level is still probably my favourite troll level of all time. Just an all-around beautiful level with an incredible payoff at the end

[@cloud09gaming]

@@brightpowder_cena I don't even think I can choose a favorite. Everytime I think of one another level pops into my head and I'm just going "but this one is so good".

[@hectorh.micheos.1717]

I really like this "Carl interviews his torturers" segment.

[@SnowMy_]

Chat CP1'd Carl, congrats Chat!

[@talerian6577]

Carl should never listen to Chat again after that :)

[@SnowMy_]

16:30 - the moment

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

Federico really knows how to utterly destroy the player in the best of ways

[@vincenttrigg4521]

Can we just appreciate how well the fiddle actually sounds?

[@NEStalgicGames]

The picture for the interview with fredrico is perfect 👌 either theres a really cool old man trolling kids over mario maker, or its a great troll, either is perfect

[@hiddencorner]

thankyou Carl for giving me hours upon hours of fun. i've been watching you forrrrr yeeaaarss and almost never leave a comment but know whenever you make a vid that there are prob hundreds of people like me, who enjoy and respect you but never let you know even though you deserve the love hehe

[@RuinAngel]

Love how the editor cut the tape. Lovely work.

[@GenteelCretin]

And KT tape at that; perfect for troll-induced brain sprains.

[@leif_p]

But I'm unsure why sensual music was playing. Or was that in the source video?

[@Touchpadse]

That interview at the end was awesome! I'd honestly love to see a series of interviews with different makers cause to me it's all magic and hearing their thoughts on it is really interesting!

[@TheAdvertisement]

Carl straight up calling Federico was an adorable interaction.

[@nickrzeczkowski9531]

"Curiosity Killed The Larl" sounds like a perfect troll level name

[@oresteszoupanos]

Curiosity Killed the Carlt

[@jc___underscore___]

Gotta love how Federico casually roasts Carl during the interview

[@kassemir]

Frederico roasting Carl a bit at the end was very wholesome :)

[@182punkbunny]

Me and my daughter still loves watching your videos … in case you are wondering she is 3 yrs post heart transplant and doing great .. had cardiac Cath last week and zero rejections

[@bernard832]

17:50 When you enter the CP room normally, the door is at the 5th saw. When you respawn at the CP, the door is at the 4th saw.

[@GottgleicherMaster]

i really like the new preview where nothing of the level is shown :) always had to force myself to look in the other direction, please keep this

[@KainaX122]

Federico is such a masterful fiddle player. It’s almost as if I could hear him as Carl proceeded to make spaghetti (great job, Editor).

[@robraf12]

Your Editor really just has the perfect humor for your type of videos. It‘s always amazing 😂

[@danielperry6921]

🤣 Great video Carl! It was awesome to hear directly from Federico.

[@leeartlee915]

Dude, it was so cool to hear from the man himself. A legend. Looks really good, for his age, too.

[@brutubeauty]

Wow, great video Carl. You are such an awesome person when it comes to Mario. You jumped straight into my heart

[@ElvenNoble]

That picture used during the interview was *very* funny xD Great larl content, great frederico level, great editing. :)

[@GenjiG]

Thank you so much for the interview at the end. Lovely to ‘meet’ one of the amazing creators! 🙏🏻😊

[@simonmollevinge843]

I really appreciate the interview at then end, always loved Federicos style of trolls..

[@SageFigaro]

16:24 "hey that's the GG spot right there" omfg carl LOL

[@Hakaisha]

I was so sad that the best psychological troll, the twice twice with the goal, he skipped by being carl, when others did it, it just exploded their minds, while carl did not realise it untill he got cp1

[@garagavia]

Great work as always Federico, you are an inspiration. Loved the interview!

[@DanielVCOliveira]

Carl gets played so much that it's worth it for Dave to take fiddle classes just so he can play it on Carl's videos

[@attention_shopping]

pog interview with federico! love hearing from the creators

[@ThomasWinget]

"I'm gonna hit this because...I'm a man of science." All that sentence did was make me yearn harder for the next season of Dr. Stone.

[@Larsie538]

Carl should definitely watch Dr. Stone if he hasn't yet

[@Player_X_YT2]

Same they said it would be summer of 2023

[@AidanWR]

When making a troll level, just ask, "wwcd?" and make it the opposite because Carl will troll himself

[@charliechimento852]

I think Nintendo needs to add hidden areas in SMM3. So much troll potential there

[@simonteesdale9752]

Why did the pirate bury their treasure under a wharf in Scotland? They wanted to keep it under loch and quay.

[@teaman8419]

Your screams always put a smile on my face

[@prpunk187]

Awesome interview with Federico dudes an excellent troll maker love watching u dgr and geek struggle on his levels

[@theAmazingJunkman]

“fiddle castro” lmfao

[@tomasn3]

I really don't like troll levels that much but Carl, your laugh and the amazement and joy you show when you play these levels are whats bringing me in time and time again. That I LOVE! 😊😊

[@samueljanssen3663]

The way i kept throwing the spike shell up and catching it at the bottom instead of just turning left bc im new to mario and didnt think of it....

[@andregon4366]

19:49 DAMN! Federico looks older than both my grandmothers combined.

[@zackglickert4495]

I was not prepared for that lol

[@stilltrapped5588]

not me scrolling through the comments to see if that pic was real or just a meme. no shade it was just highly unexpected lol

[@xerveeon]

@@stilltrapped5588 another comment says it's a picture of Doug Kershaw. after confirming with google, it appears they are a prolific fiddler :lul:

[@AdamMarr]

They should have made it more clear in my opinion that the image was a joke, but that is apparently a famous fiddle player, Doug Kershaw

[@zackglickert4495]

@@AdamMarr oh my gosh we’ve been trolled

[@jean-francoisquesnel5607]

SMB 1 is the first Mario game with hidden blocks, which is the second actual Mario game.

[@everinoa517]

Hey Carl, been watching you for some timen i love your videos and all the fiddle playing, even if it's not done by you. I would love to see more vidoes on others playing ur levels when possible. I hope you enjoy your time and knowing how many people make happy just by being there. ^-^~♡

[@theivoryguy2476]

The fiddle starman remix was just....... beautiful.

[@will2998]

I like how if you jump to some part of carl's video and call that the intro, no one would be suspicious lol. Keep the positive energy, Carl!

[@MagicScorpio]

Federico at the end was best part. Please do more interviews with troll creators at the end!!! You’ll thank me later.

[@painkiller5657]

Hilarious photo of federico. Carl did him dirty. Now that face will be stuck in our head whenever carl plays a federico level

[@Jojirius]

What is that a photo of? I searched up Fidel Castro and his son because those seemed like options, but after that I had no idea what the photo was a reference to.

[@Manobaru]

@@Jojirius Wait, you really thought that might be Fidel Castro??? You never heard of Fidel Castro before? 🤣(more like Fiddle Castro HO HO HO :V)

[@Manobaru]

@@Jojirius P.S. That's Doug Kershaw on the photo. He's a country violinist/fiddler

[@QQyoko]

I'd love to see some of the more prolific troll creators get a hold of Lunar Magic and crank out some ROM hack misery for Carl

[@SomeRandomPuzzlePiece]

I tried Lunar Magic and it is simply just... very very confusing

[@nugboy420]

Lol the fiddle so early. Fiddlerico as he is sometimes called.

[@rorycannon7295]

You mentioned federico a video or so back and i was like "geez i really wish there was a convenient carl federico video'. thanks!

[@autotactic]

Ese Federico, puto amo.

[@agr0nianTV]

Awesome level and the interview was great 😁

[@Kingsly9802]

18:40 I fuckin APPLAUDED. My hands sting. Federico, you are a troll amongst goblins.

[@jessevanstraaten4111]

You know it's good when a Federico level isn't banned 😅

[@Mister_Doodles]

14:35 did those pigs just spell out an L? Lol

[@diractirpitz84]

the five dum fiddle is in fine form.

[@AzathothLives]

Someone at Nintendo: "Hey, lets introduce hidden bonus blocks! They can be a fun little surprise for the player! Whats the worst that can happen?" Years later:

[@AJScheeler]

Who knew Federico is Doug Kershaw. haha!

[@VinceMouse]

The fiddle music was just... *chefs kiss*

[@NavariteAzuth]

The maestro, often with his beautiful and subtle work. Federico isn't just in the mind of the person in the level. He can make an amazing set up with like 2 things visible somehow.

[@ra1nman_mashups]

So glad you got to play another Federico level!!

[@turdcalzone7636]

2:55 Underrated troll.

[@jeffreygbur3959]

I just noticed that every time Carl falls for a troll there is faint fiddle music…. A+ to the editor

[@KE-yj4ip]

Great interview amazing lvl

[@Minwolf]

The Pow moved like that because that yellow block was spinning and pushed it up when it stopped spinning.

[@zukuu]

Cool interview!

[@megaman161]

I saw the title and could already hear the fiddles warming up.

[@bendystrawz2832]

THE FIDDLE STAR MUSIC, I CAN'T! This is gonna be so good.

[@severussnape2917]

I love when the fiddle music plays!

[@jamesmcdavid1673]

I thought something about the Superstar music at 1:05 was off. Then I realized it was a fiddle rendition of the tune.

[@OmniscientWarrior]

Here we see yet again Andy/Carl doing what he thinks is him playing a game not realizing, it is in fact the game that is playing him. Now read this in Stanley parable narrator voice.

[@xDorito18]

Love these vids!

[@DrGandW]

7:20 I’m sorry was the stream audio bad or is char just incapable of hearing a note block spring sound

[@MrDCrod]

Represetando a Honduras, Buena Matute!

[@DanielDugovic]

Hidden blocks were introduced in SMB1.

[@CubeItself]

i love the lil wobblin CP1 wigglers they look like they're vibin

[@user-yf6zz3cl8i]

I want a fiddle arrangement of brainpower

[@benmaharaj6854]

18:04 There's nothing wrong with that slope. Its a solid object with no compression. Carl hit it hard and was deflected up. What else would you expect to happen?

[@Soulessnight4]

8:50 Carl: explains the troll, still falls for it

[@AlmarAZL9S]

Dude I thought the first trap with the fiddle music was actually music from the game that was set up to play like a music level. It was just the editor doing sweet magic as always. Still would've been funny if it was actually in the level that plays a short version whenever anyone falls for the traps and kills them when the music is over.

[@Pirap0]

The editor is soo good! 🤣

[@Querterus]

the answere for your question why it kills u sometimes and sometimes not is simple. TROLLMAGIC!

[@Mirko_ddd]

Carl's laugh is so contagious 🤣

[@Dzyntara]

First time being this early! So excited to see how much Carl is played like a fiddle this time

[@themilkynipple2801]

The fiddle makes me feel like im part of an irish sea shanty

[@TaurusVersant]

truly a beautiful kaizo

[@yairgomez9090]

Carl is slowly devolving into a crocodile from donkey Kong with the sounds he makes xD

[@jamaicanbutter]

What was that cut the tapes edit!? That was brilliant.

[@NHTopher]

Hilarious start!

[@kapspace]

Wait, this one is already here?! That's quick Also, gonna make a short out of the vod lol

[@Rijnswaand]

7:20 Dude, it's a note block!

[@T.O.1988]

Love the fiddle!

Was that Teppei Okada's violin Mario cover I heard?

[@cc9165]

Every time a bell rang, Pavlov thought about feeding his dogs... Hearing the Pavlov's dogs reference made me think of this rather ironic thought xD
