[@Poldovico]

This would be super cool with Superhot rules.

[@Bismuth9]

I'm mad that they messed up the bottom half of the sprite. You get running Mario with the bottom half of jumping Mario, and jumping Mario with 3 hands

[@HappyLeeHL]

3 hands. :D

[@soninhodev7851]

So when he jumps he can usee the N64 controller properly(i know how you are supposed to grip the controller, its just a joke)

[@nakano15]

I only noticed that because of your comment.

[@KittSpiken]

I've finally witnessed Koopa the Quickest

[@olegdayver7842]

"we beat it but how much more of there is there more of it there is"

[@nitendler]

"Hello, I'm the Romhack Critic! I play it so you don't have to."

[@goinkosu]

Fun cut at 4:32 when the double death sound effect matches the timing of the regular death sound effect after the cut. I guess Bismuth likes doing that kind of thing

[@itsNatalieAtLeast]

At first I thought you said that because Bismuth made the ROM hack, then I remembered Bismuth edits his videos.. also that pfp is cursed

[@budderk1305]

how merciful of the creator to at least let the firebar turn on normal speed

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

He probably didn't get around to messing with it otherwise it'd be spinning at 600 rpm.

[@asteroidrules]

It'd basically be a solid fire circle if it were accelerated as much as everything else was.

[@TheYGOenjoyer]

It never ceases to surprise me how many of these Mario hacks use SMB3 graphics.

[@theengineer-dellconagher]

at this point it's more of an expectation than a surprise

[@MarxMayhem]

SMB3 is near-peak, if not THE peak, NES sprite work.

[@sugarandhoneypixels1869]

@@MarxMayhem I like Kirby's Adventure sprite art more, but SMB3 is still pretty cool 😎

[@KidPrarchord95]

If we can count ROM hacks, I personally think Rogue Dawn looks the best

[@P-nk-m-na]

@@sugarandhoneypixels1869 i put them on the same level

[@seanbrockest3888]

Bismuth (who edited this video) should have been looking at the chat at 2:39

[@denohascrashed]

"To answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes."

[@Bismuth9]

I did see it when editing

[@CrisperPoet]

This rom hacker took the dorkly skit where bowser shoots his engineer koopa with a 9mm to heart.

[@Alexs23743]

This "peppy" hack is a barrel roll of frustration just from the first level!

[@whazzup_teacup]

New and improved SMB: Now with more realistic bullets! Pre-order now! *Sponsored by RedBull.

[@reesecarlton]

Most fair Mario Maker level: Also at roughly 7:38 you can see a hammer go right through mario. I know SMB1 hitboxes are closer to lines than squares but that's just ridiculous. Maybe cuz it was traveling so fast idk

[@Kosmicd12]

Hammer hitboxes are in the top left. Also, hammers sometimes don't have a hitbox at all when there are a bunch on screen

[@Magalor24]

The enemies got the potion of swiftness.

[@PierceArner]

I played this AND _edited it into a more consumable experience_ which are both things that I am grateful for with this one.

[@JakeRazorClawson]

Immediate appreciation for spamming save states. There was a lot of impressive game play, but the hack is too unfair and evidently unfinished. Death stars are not fun, but sending enemies into space is always satisfying. Nearly anything seems tolerable compared to using the "power glove". The insane things Kosmic has done for the sake of gaming challenges and our entertainment deserves eternal rewards, wish i could give more gratitude than having a shop shirt purchased soon. Serious thanks for the vids and laughs 😄 💫

[@ural0304]

I too would like to see a TAS of this. Played at 200% of course!

[@TheLastWanderingBard]

The moment Kosmic started spamming save states there should have been a flashback to earlier in the video when he said "save states don't actually help you complete the level". It would've been perfect.

[@nicholas3354]

As I adapt to the high speed, Mario starts to seem as if he is in slow-mo.

[@nicholas3354]

Or is that lag? I could test it.

[@tiletapper4ever]

5:51 I just commented it so I see again and again that one moment

[@MaxOakland]

I’m so glad ROM Hack Wednesday is back

[@c31979839]

Geeze! That looks like a really hard hack.

[@darthparallax5207]

This was one of the things of all time

[@tetermc]

I wonder how much Kosmic pays his editor? I guess it's none of my bismuth.

[@billj4525]

I can't believe someone at his level of mario skill is dying THIS much. He's an amazing player at so many games, but it's surprising for sure to see him killed constantly.

[@RT55J]

Peppy Mario? what's next, Slippy Mario?

[@robiginal6458]

This hack makes Kaizo look like child's play

[@ItsartoTV]

That's super speedy Bros 4

[@davidevans5804]

Impossible mario aka mario frustration 15 years ago just shows how pro you are

[@hotfistVODS]

man makes me happy that a large streamer uses savestates without shame and doesn't cut around it. feels great to finish stuff without it, but sometimes it's full on not worth it

[@Kosmicd12]

Yeah I used to take 4 hours to complete something like this because I wanted to do it ~legit~, but one day realized it's just so much better to save everyone some time

[@hotfistVODS]

@@Kosmicd12 I played Sure Shot recently, SMW romhack from Celeste's creator and it has an extremely large number of checkpoints and it just clicked - "these are just savestates, everyone should do it this way, or wait, I could just do it" and that made the whole concept just feel a lot better.

[@geo-fry6372]

I want to see a race of this at agdq. That would be quite funny

[@housethegrate6093]

5:50 full yeet

[@ecernosoft3096]

"This rom hack would be really fun to play in super slow motion" *GET A PAL NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM DUDE!!!!!!!*

"I wanna be The Mario

[@Nob1ej0n]

The things you go through to entertain us. 😆

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

This video could use the AVGN red lines indicating all the kill zones.

[@MattIsTheCat]

Yay.

[@dospostmann9361]

Super hard!

[@mitmoon]

I wonder if the creator of the rom hack every completed him or her self.

[@dripcaraybbx]

Bruce Hammer Bros?

[@vhs.dreams4983]

Best gaming KZbinr! Every video is pure entertaining

[@dmgreenberg]

9:25 Blatant cheating by the AI; watch at quarter speed. The Hammer Bro was clearly defeated before the first hammer was thrown and before the second hammer spawned! 🤬🤬🤬

[@richardjoyce2764]

When bowser played too many souls games...

[@LotoTheHero]

Luigi's pallete in this makes him look like he was dyed in pickle juice.

[@quadpad_music]

Playing this hack at a lower speed would definitely be missing the point, but imagine how cool it'd be to have something akin to MM11's Speed Gear.

[@MrIndomit]

I made TAS for this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfUlZqMd9R6n7M Not perfect but it was fun and sometimes tricky.

[@stratsboneless6270]

hello

[@Hyakurai84]

JFC. Apt title. Good work Kosmic.

[@hicknopunk]

Impressive junk on the screen without a good mmc

[@tacosunbirth]

Is the title a Nostalgia Critic reference?

[@floppa_gamer1111]

hello i like you

[@Kysgarq]

When are you going to sell "I tried so hard to not die" T-Shirts?

[@VHSMonster]

It's interesting to see game genie codes echoed in romhacks, like double jumps. This reminds me of PAYGAX, very interesting code
