Kaizo Mario | The Story of the HARDEST Mario Game

[@jonatanmonsalve11]

I like how Conner manages to maintain a perfect middle ground between a serious review voice with a professional way to narrate things, and his usual casual conversational way of talking; it's a very cozy style.

[@SMCwasTaken]

Good, i hate the way youtubers just laugh for no reason, it makes me cringe

[@Makinn1]

Man conner needs to continue doing this

[@crater159_YT]

4:59 released 1 day before all hell came lose

[@bruceaskew2107]

Cool video bro , the frustration was real with this 1 🤣

[@salehalmogrebi9487]

I actually love the kaizo mario rom hacks and it's really just amazing, also Merry Christmas Conner

[@Soichiro69]

So Super Demo World was released on 9/10/2001..... one day before.

[@torieisebrand3622]

Not me freaking out when ProtonJon popped up because I literally just got done watching TRG not long before watching this. I'm glad to know about the history of Kaizo now, because I had only ever heard about it before. It's kinda fun seeing people thrive for a challenge so much that they play something that's nearly impossible.

[@jacobmccain8082]

Conspiracy Theory: ROM hacking butterfly effect'd 9/11. Crazy the first rom hack released 9/10/01. Thanks a lot Game Genie.

[@Goochbag8]

Man, this really took me back. Thank you. That transition into ProtonJonSA's video hit me HARD.

[@setsers1]

Ah, The Memories.

[@Balls199]

Omg it's saster

[@FrozenBun]

Waffles wit Mario. My favorite eye food

[@raindropskeepfallin]

I like how you rhymed "fans" and "hands" top tier work 9.8/10 Game of the Year

[@ashcashgamer5770]

I've heard of the Kaizo mods for Mario games but I never played them. (I don't like to be stressed when playing video games, it defeats the purpose) I'm sure that the Kaizo theme influenced kaizo courses in the Mario Maker games though.

[@jacobmccain8082]

They are VERY tough and grueling to get through. But the feeling of clearing a particularly challenging level or hack is the most rewarding thing I've found in gaming because you fricken earned it.

[@BlueJourney2719]

Super Mario Maker: *Chuckles Evily* I’m basically Kaizo Mario 2

[@son-of-a-game]

Amazing thumbnail!

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

Before I saw Kaizo, I was introduced to Brutal Mario, a derivative of Kaizo Mario. Ever since then, I have taken some interest in Mario ROM hacking.

[@bingobo2551]

You’ve played brutal mario world, nice.

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

@@bingobo2551 Actually haven't played it. Just watched videos showcasing almost all of the bosses.

[@doumanepower-up6501]

​@@SmokeTheHorsehog you played brutal mario too, it was my first and favorite mario rom hack game ever

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

@@doumanepower-up6501 Like I said, didn't play it. Watched boss rushes of it.

[@JohanKarlemo]

Fun Fact: Kaizo Mario World wasn't actually made to be played with playstates.

[@MrJohnReviews]

Super Mario World Hacks have the same feeling as DOOM Mods, they are very important and pleasing to play

[@BlueJourney2719]

“Move faster Pokey!” One like for who knows says that line

[@ryancurtis5425]

100 seconds?!

[@VirginAfterSex420]

I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said

[@viola8422]

This is actually a really good vidoe,good job man

[@InterpolatedGaming]

SMW Rom Hacks > Mario Maker I grew up playing these hacks on my jailbroken PSP so I could play them on the go. That shit was wild back then for me. Fun times man.

[@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313]

Kaizo Mario is something that probably would still exist even if you went back in time and stopped its original creator from making it. I've heard about it, I've seen gameplay of it, but I'll never play it or any levels from Mario Maker based off of it because it takes away the fun you're suppose to have with video games. I'll never understand why some folks want to torture themselves with level designs that look like the came from a crackhead. I'd like to *keep* my sanity, thank you very much.

[@WitherVideos]

Nice, great video!

[@Official_Lamar_Berry]

There's also a Bob Ross version,too

[@emeraldsdumbchannel]

They Can Come In Difficulty. Some Are Easi(er) And Some Are Absolutely Impossible.

[@JayCeeCreates]

Banger video, but you forgot the impact it had when Super Mario Maker was released

[@nicholaslull1415]

People playing Kaizo Mario:(insert DHIMS stress song)

[@Jinzo126]

Yeah, Proton john was also my introduction to kaizo/rom hacks

[@WeirdWonderful]

Electric Gaming Monthly, the most esteemed gaming magazine specifically aimed at electricians :P

[@michaelpallozzi3835]

Hey ConnerTheWaffle, here's an idea for a future ConnerTheWaffle video for all of your lovely ConnerTheWaffle fans out there; a ConnerTheWaffle feature-length-long multipart retrospective call: Conner's Sonic The Hedgehog Fan Games & ROM Hackstrospective Extravaganza!!!!

[@RYANTHECRITE2023]

Happy New Year Connor the waffle

[@quinman16]

what Super Mario World remix did you pick from 1:28 to 1:41 ConnerTheWaffle i would like to listen to the full song.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

What a good story!

[@dariutblackwell7185]

This is pretty cool of you ☺️☺️ to do this

[@MKDeon]

and a day later plane mario happened

[@TheBLBShow]

I miss the old days of lets plays and rage games

[@mabfuentes8885]

Now i want to know which is harder to beat: Mario: The Lost Levels, or Kaizo Mario?

[@1finalchance881]

Very well made video. Really enjoyed it.

[@imcharlieeold]

super demo world came out on sep 10 2001 1 day later 911 happend

[@ddjsoyenby]

i remember playing a game like this (it was basically the same thing except a free browser game a mario game made to be bs as possible) this gave me so much nostalgia.

[@jakkurinjactenderjakala4129]

I think you're speaking about Unfair Mario

[@thundageon5962]

When i was a kid I used to have a good time with mario hacks like Demo World, TSRP but then i accidentally played "Luigi's Adventure". It was my biggest piece of suffering ive ever played as a 9 year old and its not kaizo.

[@iseein4d]

Great video! Cant wait to watch more. No biggie but at 2:13 you said "Electric gaming monthly" the magazine was "Electronic Gaming Monthly." No biggie, keep making great videos

[@XxguaxinimxX.]

Great video!

[@GardoGamer]

Besides knowing this it's nice to see you pop-up in my algos again... hurray!!!

[@Solesteam]

0:40 no I just laughed at the latter 2 and stared blankly when they laughed.

[@yungsagegaming8577]

This does bring up a question in my mind, which is the hardest OFFICIAL Mario game?

[@Patralgan]

I used to watch Sidbladeko's videos of the Kaizo Mario World playthrough series in the 00's

[@magmatic8445]

What's funny is that this romhack is now considered to be one of the easier of the difficult romhacks. there are LOADS of great hacks that are 3 or 4 times harder, with many many players skilled enough to beat them as well.

[@zLukaasPvPz]

17:25 my comment is there lmao Great video

[@thomash2311]

Nice Video dude. I realy enjoyned it

[@DanielSong39]

A few things that separates Kaizo Mario from the rest: - It can be completed by an expert platformer. However it will provide even the best players with a very stiff challenge (about as much challenge as we plebians face with a normal game) - The level design is very good. If you are in the top 0.1% of video game players it is a very fun game to play with very clever gameplay ideas. - The TAS are entertaining to watch. However for full enjoyment it's more entertaining to watch a "playthrough" TAS (which completes the levels as intended, with no regard for speed) than an optimized TAS. Very few Kaizo hacks score on all 3 fronts Something like Pit of Despair, Pit of Death, and Item Abuse 1-3 qualifies on the latter 2 fronts but no human can complete them. Not even with slowdowns and savestates

[@ChadMorningWood]

I cannot fathom the amount of nostalgia your intro was able to awaken with the old youtube, internet explorer, and fucking azureblade49. I truly miss this early era of youtube so much. Curious if you ever watched Sonikdude101 (now Antdude92) and his early lets plays?

[@Atag11]

When you make another dk video?

[@Dengiz21]

Oh my god this video just made it dawn on me that "Retsupurae" is just japanese engrish for "Let's Play". I feel enlightened.

[@spartanwarrior9755]

0:38 ah Super Mario Frustration a classic.

[@cartoonchannel1967]

4:59 nobody isn't gonna say that this was 1 day after the attack

[@KAT-T]

5:03 so close yet so far😢

[@Patralgan]

Young, shaven Barb

[@Rafix]

great video!

[@nightmaregats]

Just remember: If you used save states, you didnt beat kaizo mario

[@Krelian89]

Yep, but for a newbie that is the best tool to learn to play.

[@Drayton226]

Hey Connor how's was Christmas?

[@ProttMiners]

Hello my fellow Connor I am a og fan I'm pretty sure it was so long ago but when I click on your channel again I felt a big amount of nasolga I don't now when but I think it might have been right around 500 or so subs but I might be wrong but anyways I love your channel

[@thenexttangle8568]

WAFFLE MAN

This is the kind of comment I was missing from you

We did it garage gang hub is featured!

The Romhacking Community is a perfect example of "If X can't make Y, Then we will make Y"

[@PinkMrSaturn]

Bro went Gaming Historian on us.

[@tragicryn]

Bro the first ever rom hack was made a day later after 9 11💀

[@barryjohn9415]

Now mario maker can make kaizo mario levels

[@Very-Tired]

I can get lil Wayne's lollipop as a ring tone in 30 seconds!1!!!!1!!1

[@kingkryptonite0]

What was that Rom Hack that resembled the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game?

[@P1490_]

The test didn't that hard The test:

[@axeoseilez3207]

They also made a kaizo pokemon which is quite good. Still waiting for kaizo kirby so i can watch connor lose his mind XD

[@Ericman100]

retsupurae 🙏 Their name is kinda like saying "Let's Play"!!

[@gracekim1998]

Whoa

[@monferno1]

Azureblade was my first love

[@chachasmooth5863]

demo world came out a day before 9/11

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

I'm 38 and still think Mario 3 and Mario 64 is way better than Super Mario World

[@DrGreenThumb919]

Super Mario world hacks caused 9/11

[@L0NGHA1RB0Y]

21:41 that's not really true...

[@kingfirestorm4047]

How the heck Nintendo not know about this it's a miracle they not send a Sece and decist order to this game 🤯

[@unnamed0byplayer]

5:00 oh shi…

[@foamyadampower7105]

If you think that this is the hardest one, you haven't searched enough

[@jcoleman4769]

Every Kirby game is the best video game ever released no Mario

[@ultrainstinctpetah9381]

Mario 64 sold 12 copies and failed horribly

[@corz.mp4243]

hello conner

[@jakkurinjactenderjakala4129]

Amphibia profile pic, yay!!

[@stevenbeshures6962]

No, no no no no don’t you dare accuse all of us of using save states to beat these rum hacks I’ve never once never ever ever once used to save state. My SD2SNES somehow wasn’t the Kirks version so the firmware on my SD2SNES doesn’t exist, nor do I want to download and screw up my flash cart so some of us just git gud

[@mrnekomaneki01]

I go back and forth enjoying to watch this stuff but given that the main players of it anymore don't get the frustration. They know all the tricks and techs so it's never a get stuck on a spot for very long. It is interesting sometimes but a lot of times it just seems boring especially with so many super Mario maker 2 creators being the same people.

[@cherriemaesicad8830]

Is kaizo mario as good in NSMBWII

[@kennypowers5006]

September 10th 2001? The day before 911 😮

[@hcbs1986]

0:17 fake as hell watch page 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@jorgeamaya6049]

😀

[@landynwahl4385]

Watch the weird mario videos

[@robertjohnson-kj8vj]

Sorry but Mario 3 is just way better. Snes is awesome yes. Better graphics but Marios toolkit was pretty much reduced to nothing . He got a spin jump and cape but lost 7 other abilities. And world sized seem reduced.

[@stapuft]

see "kaizo maro" IS NOT "kaizo mario world" "kaizo mario" was a mod of the ORIGINAL mario game on the NES "world" was a mod of "world", on the SNES two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAMES. also people were hacking games LONG BEFORE "lunar magic" or "super demo world" were even thought up. the entire premise of this video is flawed beyond imagining. i mean HELL the video that popularized the term "asshole mario" was a mario kaizo video, not a kaizo world video, and you dont even mention this fact at all.....

[@HaxTheCharizard]

Where are you pulling this info from?

[@stapuft]

@@HaxTheCharizard reality? look it up, its not hard to not make clickbait.

[@HaxTheCharizard]

@@stapuft I did. Several times, actually. Found nothing about a kaizo mario for the NES that according to you, came out before Kaizo Mario World. The only thing similar I can think of is what is now simply called "cat mario", and that STILL came out after the Kaizo Mario World

[@stapuft]

@@HaxTheCharizard oh my god, how stupid can you be, LEARN TO READ, "kaizo mario" was BASED ON the original "mario bros" for the NES, it wasn't on the NES itself, how could you even think it was?

[@stapuft]

@@HaxTheCharizard the ORIGINAL kaizo mario game started in world 1-1 of mario 1, directly over a pit, leading to instant death, you have to jump, before the game even starts to even start playing. it was popularized in video form on "newgrounds" and other sites as a ~30 minute long video where you get to watch someone slowly go insane while playing a mario game, under the title "asshole mario", the video ends when he successfully beats stage 1-1, only to out what 1-2 has in store for him, causing him to rage quit.
