Hey Kosmic, what software do you use in this video to edit the levels? I already downloaded a few level editors a few years ago and the only one that seemed relatively good was detected as trojan horse by my antivirus, so I just threw all this crap in the garbage... If there is one that is good and not bundled with some malware I'd really like to try it.

Blue lava is also a thing in real life. I don't know the technical details, but from what I understand, it has something to do with the amount of sulfur and other elements in the volcano at the time it explodes.

[@tech6hutch]

Don’t lie, it’s about the flavor of Kool-Aid that God puts in the lava before it erupts.

[@Sqk.]

From what I’ve seen online it seems to actually just be burning sulfur and not actually lava

[@Roebloz]

Hey, that title is wrong, it should be "Can you beat Super Mario Bros. If the floor is Blue Lava?"

[@bernard832]

This is a cool idea and I love that you made different difficulty levels to meet a wider audience. Did you consider flying koopa bounces for levels like 3-2 and 5-1?

[@Kosmicd12]

That's the solution for part of 8-2, and it's an alternative solution to 5-1. The thing with parakoopas is they often won't behave the same way

[@bebe8090]

I made a level like this on Mario Maker 2. It was an exact copy of 1-1, but the floor was all made of spikes. Maybe it is just because Mario Maker has different physics than the original, but I recall only needing to make the invisible 1up block visible to make it beatable. If you went into the pipe on my version, you would just fall into spikes and die.

[@timdecker6063]

Simple idea turned into an amazing hack. It's crazy, but it reminds me of how some artists come up with a simple set of rules for a work of art, and stuff just seems to fall in place.

Awesome project Kosmic. Your love for this game is contagious, I'll definitely be downloading this hack. Lots of work here, but it paid off. Bravo 👏

[@owlyson231]

Awesome concept and execution. I especially like the decision for underwater, running in those stages is oddly satisfying. Well done!

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

the comedy part of this demonstration in 13:41😂and oh dear that softlock at 15:04 i guess 1-1 but different challenge and floor lava things really go viral in recent years modifying on official stages is pretty fun, just like remaking music built from your memory speedrunning experts are just never out of ideas❤

[@antoniofg30]

Id love to see you and top players make SM1 levels for each other. See how far you can really push it! Love that you had an easy version on this mod too for general audience

[@CatsT.M]

This reiminds me of the Portal 2 Backwards mod that one speedrunner made/there are different versions depending on weather you know the glitches or are just a casual player who does not need to remember every minute detail. A really good idea if you both want a challenge but also want a lot of people to be able to experience it.

[@darioelsinapodo8448]

I find a little glitch in 1-2, where I get a checkpoint in a place that’s almost lava and you immediately die. The good part is that doing a precise jump just after you spawn you can actually get to the block, it’s actually funny and can be useful.

He... literally mentions that in the video, at 3:46. It's deliberate.

[@cubedmelons876]

If Nintendo decides to release a Mario game this year, then probably that. Mario games in general tend to gather a large modding community, a large speedrunning community, lots of youtube content made about them, and all sorts of other things.

[@jennasloan396]

did you know in the video game FEZ, the LiquidType of a level is stored in a variable named "WaterType"?

[@TeraunceFoaloke]

Good job with the hack.

[@nicholas3354]

I can do a better V than that... or is it something to do with sprite limits or something? I would genuinely be interested in a video on why that is the best V that you could do, and what sorcery would be required to do better.

[@bill0405]

Sonic music with Mario footage is hurting my brain lol.

[@Devilot109]

Technically, under-lava stages should be impossible to swim in… because Mario would shoot to the surface as fast as the viscosity allowed, with no way to descend. Even liquid stone is a lot denser than a human body.

The screen edge wall jumps are so well known that I wouldn't have a problem with them in the "glitchless" version. I learned of that through world of mouth--specifically as the way to get on top of the stage in 4-2. I know people who thought that was why the breakable blocks were there at the start.

[@KevinEontrainer381]

Blue Lava is real btw. There is a volcano in Indonesia called Kawah Ijen (or Ijen Crater) which is infamous for its blue lava. This phenonenon occurs when a large amount of Sulphur conbusts when in contact with lava (the usual red ones) which creates this blue flames. Kawah Ijen is known for its large sulphur deposit which causes this to happen. Actual Blue Lava has to reach the temperature of abou 6.000 degree Celcius which seems to be a lot hotter than the natural red lava we usually know.

[@iluvcats2]
