I love this Mario Hack

[@treyedwards572]

Mycelium isn't the root of the mushroom, but rather the mushroom is the fruit of the mycelium organism. While it can be helpful to compare it to plants, mushrooms are in the fungi kingdom, and are completely separate. They're pretty fascinating if you start to really dive in, but there is so much mysticism surrounding them that it can be hard to get real information sometimes.

[@williamjoseph2085]

I ain't debating. I'm a mushroom, okay? I spread like lava, rise like bread. Currency of decay.

[@neonoah3353]

Mushroom funfact: mycelium is actually the name of a sick smw romhack.

[@punkyroo]

Came to the comments to say this. Mycelium IS the "mushroom"! The mushroom is just the fruit it uses to spread it's spores.

[@peregrine9745]

Yeah, your life shouldn't be content. Really need that separation. As wholesome and lovely as it is seeing GPB with lil' B on screen, keeping that separation keeps the father/son dynamic wholesome. Kids aren't content, either. Also right after, the Earthbound name-screen music in the magikoopa level made me grin ^_^

[@wiggletonthewise2141]

30:05 the difference between Pooh Bear and Poo Bear is that one says “oh bother” and the other says “oh bitch”

[@K4IBUN]

This Rom Hack is God Tier. Great levels, great interconnected map design a la metroidvania, the atmosphere is really really good with the level themes/graphics and fitting soundtrack. Also comes with this Poo guy talking in a corner so you don't feel lonely while playing. Good stuff.

[@27altoids]

What a gnarly hack. Great reads, too. (Also, glad we got this on KZbin. Context clues tells me this was back in fall 2023, and as someone who doesn’t get to catch you live that often these days, I appreciate these uploads.)

[@Freak80MC]

That reminds me of Poo playing The Last of Us, I watched his uploads of The Last of Us 2 back in 2020 but I also found out later he had streamed the first game on Twitch but I don't think he ever uploaded the clips anywhere else and they are probably gone at this point.

[@kylehill]

FFX songs!

[@Cadrid]

51:14 "This part is really difficult... That one actually wasn't bad... FUUUUUU-!!" If sticking your own foot in your mouth was an Olympic event, Poo'd nab the gold.

[@ReaperUnreal]

Wow, that was an insanely cool hack. That boss was absolutely next level.

[@Nifterific]

I want the confidence of Poo running in lava with just Mario's head visible, I would have assumed I died so many times.

[@mr.spray85]

35:49 this is something I do constantly with my kids. My son can't remember where his shoes are on a daily basis, but he can remember when I said we'd do something next winter like his life depended on it...

[@Jestiphur]

18:25 had me in stitches 🤣

[@LanceConstableVimes]

That final boss is a work of art. Beautiful!

[@theedwardian]

The whistle chargin' chuck is the rarest one in Super Mario World. It's no wonder he didn't know about it. Also Dr. Mario is Mario's father, Dr. Mario always looks disappointed because his sons are both plumbers.

[@autumnwitchmaple]

33:31 A-fucking-men brother. 100%. "GOD no" lmfao

[@dreddbolt]

That Layer 2 castle section was exceptionally dope.

[@animalfarm3705]

Song playing at 6:55 sounds like The Cure but it actually Val Ship.. I think it was heavy inspired by The Cure though.

gotta love all the DKC music in this. awesome hack

[@silenthell666]

This ROM hack really was a unique experience. But also a very nice video because ot the great conversations you had with the chat. I really appreciate your content.❤

[@RND_ADV_X]

Doctor Mario isn't a brother... He's their Father!

[@loganchildersmusic]

Earthbound music is appreciated, all the music in this is good though lol

[@punkyroo]

To BowserStoner in GPB's Twitch chat: Once you get bag full of mycelium you are suppose to crack open the bag. The fresh air will cause the mycelium to produce mushrooms!!!

[@RyanK...111]

I remember all of my middle school dances. Every moment. :(

[@Jocuro2]

I love the artstyle of this hack, really nicely done. Also, while I'm sure I'd watch "Poo and fam beat games at the state fair!" videos, I really respect the choice to keep work separate from life.

[@justsomebody-1665]

The music in this is S tier! It uses the SNES sound pallete to create some really great grooves, although I think I heard some Chrono trigger music so I'm not sure if its all original. I especially like the chill SimCity-esque tracks.

[@youtubeuser4221]

I think there's more music used from other games as well. The intro stage music sounds like it's from FFX.

[@west3Dgaming]

55:10 I would have loved it if you needed Yoshi to reach the end

[@yoshitaki69]

1:00 this is even a vanilla enemy...

[@AlexGMason]

Random tidbit on iron bros since you mentioned it in the video. I think what made it unfun was the extra strict rules you put on yourself. If you ever revisit it, you should add in pause buffering and limited skips.

[@conaldeugenepeterson2147]

It’s pretty crazy that Malcom in the Middle is a pro NASCAR driver

[@LordSoldado360]

Mycelium is what mushrooms feed on and how plants communicate in the forest

[@Suchega_Uber]

Is that the Besaid Island theme in the Mario soundfont? That's hot. I need more of it.

[@smugglersunion]

1:07 brother in christ funky, and forest of illusions 2

[@BusMaster99]

41:58 LMFAO!

[@captainkawaii666]

Regarding D&D, since you mentioned that: my campaign is *technically* permadeath, but characters can only die if it would make narrative sense or be really, and I mean *really*, funny, and that's worked pretty well so far

[@im_snoopyrs8947]

the level at 15:50, i wonder if GPB ever realized the items/enemies that were spawned were from color co-ordinated mages.

[@Grimize]

Surprised there is no comment on the DKC3 OST at 31 minutes. Still my favourite of all three DKC's!

[@delofj]

I can’t remember the name of the song playing at 38:23, someone got it please ? Edit : That’s "Flight of the Zinger", from the DKC 2 OST

[@DonWafle]

the fun part of this hack, is that everyone experience will be diferent. great hack, had a ton of fun playin' it last year

[@Lisapizzza]

Really enjoyed seeing this kaizo!

[@thierrybunel4534]

this mario game is great to see u playing this, i cant do any kaizo is very impressive thank you for content

[@BretSiakel]

Nice, it opened with a bang song! Besaid Island FFX

[@KharlanTree642]

Oh my god thank you for this comment, I knew that I knew this song but couldn't place it haha!

[@simons4569]

Felt like the extra world in mario

[@gunhaver12]

So glad I ADD clicked on this to hear the Super Mario World Soundfont FFX music

[@mikestyslinger5440]

A good hack would be an ending that punishes you for killing Yoshi. Have a fake out last level, a save the pets end and if you choose to kill Yoshi, you don't get the true boss/ending and your progress gets erased. Metroid meets ghosts and ghouls.

[@mikestyslinger5440]

(save the pets, this was an illusion by Satan references)

[@west3Dgaming]

32:15 what is this random silent close up?

[@YunoGasai_1]

I would love to see you or someone in the community play this one rom hack, I think it was like SMW Chronicles X. I played it like 11 years ago or so. It was an interesting Super Mario Bros 3 style hack with everything custom. I have videos (they're private) but I would much prefer seeing someone from the community touch that hack. I got to some factory world and experienced bullet hell from charging chucks throwing "pokéballs" (reskinned baseballs). I have fond memories of that hack though. It's definitely outdated compared to the newer formats for hacks nowadays but I remember that one out of the hundred or so hacks I have played back in the day.

[@hatredlord]

Ok, that may well be the best boss fight I've ever seen. Damn!

[@trixer230]

Mycelium is the the plant. The mushroom is the fruiting body. Mycelium is not "roots". If you want to relate it to other plants. Mycelium is the tree and mushrooms are the apples again MYCELIUM IS NOT THE ROOT SYSTEM, it is the PLANT BODY!

[@lobstrosity7163]

Fungi aren't plants, they're their separate taxonomic kingdom. If anything they're closely related to us than plants. But otherwise you're correct.

[@aquacode2]

Love the Cackletta inspired boss fight!

[@west3Dgaming]

27:45 I see you Donkey Kong Country soundtrack

[@metzli5797]

Amazing hack. Also, it is fucking ridiculous how good the soundtrack for DKC2 still is.

Quick exile! The Mycelium’s spreading!!! Uhg….New Roots!

[@willanrac]

I had to pause. For real the besaid midi makes me want to play fx right now. Wtf know what im doing on my days off this week.

[@fadran11]

not that my singular opinion can compare to the hivemind, but I will say that I've loved every Ironbros video GPB puts out. Maybe it's just because I like the vibe of his videos more than just the games themselves (I usually put them on while I play a game myself, after all), so his point still stands...

[@Rambo007-_-]

Besaid village sound track is amazing

[@kruksog]

Damn poo, ima be honest, you do bug me sometimes (and it's ok, you probably wouldn't like me that much either) but the way you got through the magickoopa section... Wild! Every other kaizo streamer i watched got super frustrated with that section, and you cleared it after your first blind read, and called it "cool" instead of bullshit, or whatever terms you would use to disparage a challenging trick. Those are impressive kaizo skills. You're definitely a skilled smw player. Like, crazy good. Also, your take on SMM2 is completely correct and based.

Personally, i enjoy watching kaizo in mario maker 2 more then iron bros or other forms of endless, but i understand that spending hours in a single level isn't the best content for streaming.

[@8BitAvenger]

These clickbait titles, not including the name of the hack, especially when done in a series that isn't connected by '..- Mycelium 01', '.. (Mycelium 01)', or whatever, is making me irritated every time I see a Grand POOBear video posted. Please make watching romhack series easier to watch, otherwise you've lost a previously dedicated fan. Love Poo, love watching his gameplay, love hearing him chat about random BS, love the editing, but I actually rage nearly every time I see a new video now and I'm just not interested in putting in the insane amount of effort it takes to just watch all the episodes of a series, considering it should be 0, any more. The KZbin playlist section is absolutely flooded so that's unfortunately not a reasonable solution either. Please let me know if someone has put together a Spreadsheet or something with the various series' Poo has done.
