In SMW he punches Yoshi to get him to stick out his tongue.

@@chaotickreg7024 Isn't that literally debunked by just looking at concept art

[@raynorzeraph953]

Even if so, they're referring to holding it in Yoshis mouth long enough that he actually eats the shell. In future Mario games he'll hold it indefinitely.

[@chaotickreg7024]

@@258thHiGuy I guess. The concept art isn't a product that concept art isn't a product that ships to the customer with the game but sure, cannon lore seems to show Mario pointing and giving a command. You can still see Yoshi visibly struggling to follow some of your commands though. You're bossing an animal around and I can't blame someone for wondering what the ethics are there. Imagine if someone hopped on your back and was like "I'm not getting off until you eat the hot pepper."

[@Jeeblydeebly]

@@258thHiGuy theres a kotaku article saying otherwise theres also a knowyourmeme article with the same source of nintendo confirming mario was originally punching yoshi like its understandable, when SMW first was made, yoshi was conceptialized as just another dumb lizard like the other dinos you litterally murder by the dozens

[@MrTheMasterX]

Watching Simple lose all his lives to Wario's Castle after breezing through the rest of the game vindicates me because I got washed so hard when playing through SML2 and getting there and resorted to save states because I just couldn't do it thinking it was too hard. Seeing this confirms the final level really is a huge difficulty spike, thank you FimpleSips.

[@wesshiflet2214]

yeah the whole game is designed around there being a huge difficulty spike there, because all the other levels can be played in any order

Watching simple say weird insane shit about how you get more jump height by letting go of the button early, when you're a big fan of the game and know it's ABSURDLY easy because all you have to do is hold up on the d-pad, is so funny

[@SimpleFlips]

Google super Mario Land 2 super jump, there's a guide on Speedruncom about it

we warned simple so many times that it resets and he was always like "nah it would never do that" he also never learned you can just leave the bonus areas without doing them if you want

The Spanish reveal was the biggest plot twist of all time

[@holdingpattern245]

You could argue that this is the strongest Mario, because he has basically infinite hover and a spin jump that he can turn on and off at any time during his jumps.

[@michaelr20010713]

He could definitely beat goku

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

SMW Mario can literally infinitely fly and gain height with it, and carry items while doing so and use it with spin jumping to get an incredibly high spin jump. Similarly the Mario you're talking about does descend while hovering. So it isn't basically infinite.

[@holdingpattern245]

@@Buglin_Burger7878 I guess that's true, also you can take a hit from enemies while flying and you can do a screen clearing type move when you hit the ground

[@logainwolfe1988]

It's weird how the levels somehow become gradually *less* Mario maker-ish as the marathon progresses. I miss the Kaizo blocks, the nonsensical dev blocks, and the general feeling of hopelessness and anxiety when you have one life left on a level you know you're going to die on to some hidden BS.

Imagine your ancestors that marched into battle every year, killed hundreds of people, conquered most of Europe and the Middle East, sailed across the sea, dueled people with a six shooter to death if someone called them "yellow".

Like even people nowadays don't have the opportunity to kick back and watch youtube, such a weak generation, it's wild. Grow up.

This little series is really cool! I thoroughly enjoy seeing you play these older titles, but it really baffles me how much effort it takes you.

SMW is by far my favorit 2D Mario game. I love the mechanics and the overall aesthetic of the overworld and levels. When simple mentioned "The Hard Level" I immediately knew which one he was talking about. You can do that section without the cape as I have done it, it just requires very precise timing.

He upload in 9;30 pm but what i was doing this whole time? Gmod cars tournament, i was looking for more cars but i overdid and subscribed over 160 cars, my mind came with a idea of making a tournament, the winner shall stay and the loser i must remove from my list. I noticed one of my adoons is causing conflict because every 5 minutes it shows a message and i think thoses who need smg shared texture is the reason why its happening PS: See the comedian wearing Ethan shirt and with the recent message of he is fine and awake in his ads/promo. This isnt the comedian, its Ethan. He took the comedian body to find a alternative way to escape from coma and wake up. Now this is relevant Ethan got his own arc, its "Ethan arc" but idk how long its gonna last. This time its Ethan racing PS T W O: This whole time i never knew scuttlebug bandy created the lego. He is the one who put the lego update in fortnite PS3: Where is the artworks in the ending made by fans? Why the comedian stopped uploading?

To me Mario Land 2 is the kind of game I probably would've loved way more if I played it as a kid. To me, the game is kinda like the 8-bit Sonic games, where there's a lot of cool ideas I wish would return, but the games themselves have weird physics and sloppy level design in places, especially when you have such a big character sprite in the middle of a small screen.
