Why go over when you can go UNDER the flagpole

Imagine if Super Mario Bros.... continued??? Lol this is a neat hack which feels a lot like Super Mario Bros. Special in a way. I had a little too much fun messing around in it.

I love Kosmic's ardent insistence to show off obscure glitches in these hacks, mainly because it's always something that would look pretty tame to the layperson but he always gets really excited about it. It's funny and wholesome

[@oldsoultechy]

Glad i caught this 4 minutes after it was released

[@whee2390]

I love how kosmic *almost* predicted that firebar, but not quite That thumbnail is great, by the way

Kosmic is the best Mario speed runner ever. He of all people can use that meme in his thumbnail 😆

@@asrieldreemurr8059 yup! Me too

[@koopakape]

Usually while I'm ok with a Kosmic "let's randomly stop in the middle of this hack to do a random glitch" or two I usually just want to see him explore the hacks... but in this case every single 'stop for exhibition' was so wild, fun, funny, weird, and this hack was so full of so many opportunities for so many weird and cool ones, this is definitely the best hack for it lol

[@toastymang0598]

Best thumbnail ever! Edit: totally not clickbait ;)

[@SomeGuy712x]

(23:13) I think I know what you intended to show there before you died to the hidden Piranha Plant. If you hit a block that has an enemy or power up above it that gets bumped, then the block loses all solidity to anything else, including yourself, until its bump animation finishes. So, I bet you would've bumped the Koopa, then jumped up through the block to escape during the brief time it was non-solid during its animation. (Also, as a result of this strange interaction, if you attempt to hit a block that has two or more bumpable sprites atop it, one of them will likely fall through the block and land on your head.)

[@Kosmicd12]

Yeah i was going to try and make one of the enemies fall through. Is it really true that you yourself can jump through it? I definitely wouldn't have been able to here, since you're too far away, but I didn't know that was a thing at all

[@SomeGuy712x]

@@Kosmicd12 Yep, and yes, you could've jumped through it yourself by jumping from the pipe where you got nommed, since you'd be super close to the blocks yourself.

[@stevenjones8575]

It's fun when you're in a good mood and so can have fun with even the bad parts of a hack. Didn't think I'd ever see you laugh at a kaizo block.

[@ThePharphis]

That was one funny in part because it was so unexpected after so many levels without any.

[@CillmaCuvas]

Just saw the new vod, sorry to hear about the ending of that run but congrats on your two letter world BTEs, you played very well to get over 1 second shaved off C-4, even with the powerup loss. That WR is right around the corner! Have a good one, and be well!

[@inverse_of_zero]

i think this might be my fave or 2nd fave romhack so far. it's so unique that it's hilarously funny to hear your reactions, but not so unique that it's absurd i.e. it's still decently playable!

[@wweirdoww]

that "see you later everybody" got me lol i really like the edit in this romhack

[@SuperNickid]

@Kosmic: In 7-3 you saw the unused collor palate of the castle 1-up mushroom, because in the normal Super mario bros. including Lost level their is never a 1-up mushroom in castle. Because poision mushroom are white collor in castle to match the white of goombas, the 1-up mushroom in castle them would look like the overworld poision mushroom.

[@Kosmicd12]

That's not what it would look like in the vanilla game. This game has altered piranha plant colors (darker). The 1-up matches that.

[@SuperNickid]

@@Kosmicd12 The 1-up mushroom does not match the collor pallets of piranha plant, in the under ground level the piranha plant are blue unless you meant the buttom of the stem, underground 1-up mushroom are dark brown with blue spot. I look back at that part of the video and the 1-up mushroom does not match the piranha plant collor, and also in the vanilla game it is unknown what collor pallete the 1-up mushroom would used since non of it appear in castle level.

[@SuperNickid]

@@Kosmicd12 I remember that I have an emulator and a Rom of Super mario bros. so I just went in a castle got a fire flower to spond and with the Hex editor change it to a 1-up mushroom to see what it look like, it look the same as the underground 1-up mushroom.

[@Kosmicd12]

@@SuperNickid it's not exactly the same, it's brighter because piranha plants stems and tops are a little brighter than underground. Yes, the 1-up uses the same colors as the piranha plants.

[@PatrickDavis28]

This may or may not be interesting, but: Last weekend, I had a thought. How fast could someone beat all of the Super Mario games in a row, assuming perfect execution and no restrictions whatsoever? To find this time, I added up the any% world records of all 18 of the games featured in your marathon and jan Misali's list. This does include credits warps, and I know you did warpless in a few games, but this is how fast you can beat it with no restrictions whatsoever. When you add up all of the records, what do you get? A day? 20 hours? The answer: 12 hours, 42 minutes, 15 seconds. This means, assuming you had perfect execution, you could boot up SMB at midnight, and finish SMO before lunchtime.

[@Hadaron]

Kosmic’s actually beaten all the Mario games in a single day before. He uploaded a few videos of it.

[@singlereedenjoyer]

Try comparing the TASes too.

Alright now what happens if you fpg from the right of the flagpole? (if its possible)

Based on the title I thought there would be some cool glitch where the flagpole actually goes all the way under the blocks. But I guess we’ll never know.

Just moments before 15:10 I was thinking about that time you said that you learned this exact thing "THIS YEAR" not too long ago, and I was wondering what video that was in..... and then you actually showed us again.

I still don’t understand the eureka moment you had with sliding down the flagpole in relation to the flagpole glitch. Could you give a hint?

[@gameyfirebro9645]

Plz play VS SMB and compare the levels to SMB1 and SMB2J's levels. Also play SMA (Super Mario Advance), SMA4 (e-reader levels, you hv 2 speed run the SMB1 stages replicating your movements from your most recent warpless), and possibly speedrun SMA2 as Luigi (he floaty, he slippery, and while riding yoshi, he can make the green dino spit any normally edible enemy out at his foes).

This hack looks cool, it's fun to play. I love this kind of hack, it doesn't annoys me. The design is pretty, even it looks like Mario in another planet or something but I like it. It reminds me of Lode Runner for some reason 😆

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

I like those levels with Toads and castle tiles, it's like a Toad village and I've always thought it'd be an interesting idea for a level theme in these games. Anything that breaks away from grasslands/desert/water/sky/lava is cool to me.
