THIS JUMP IS ASKING TOO MUCH

What does Kaizo look like in the original Super Mario Bros.? You may have seen it in SMW, or even SMB3 and SM64, but this is what Kaizo is in SMB1. I definitely experienced some... issues.

Which type of hacks have been your favorite so far? Kaizo style? Great aesthetics? New mechanics?

[@reesecarlton]

Definitely the new mechanics. Keep up the great content man :)

[@Lisinfilm]

New mechanics are awesome

We see kaizo everyday, new mexhanics are good cause they are in fsct new

[@ZachGatesHere]

Anything unique. Kaizo is fine if it tries something different than the others, but way too many of them feel like the same game just shuffled around slightly.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

In Bugaboo The Flea there's only one fairly small level with a single enemy, you just have to reach the exit which is at the top and a really good player would beat the game almost immediately, but most players just try over and over again for hours and barely get anywhere. It reminds me of Getting Over It because you play a character that is really tricky to move and you keep accidentally falling and losing progress.

[@vedaryan334]

@@crispydonut9553 is that a dunkey reference? It's too farfetched tho

[@UltimatePerfection]

22:48 Interesting. Didn't know that the game sets Mario's palette to a completely black one at the end. Always thought it just put the sprite behind the background tiles, kinda like piranhas are (and how white blocks work in SMB3

[@trik0me]

Actually mario is "behind" the background and hasn't had his palette altered.. but mario's sprite has a higher sprite priority than the other sprites, so the other sprites are drawn behind mario... even when mario is behind the background

[@UltimatePerfection]

@@trik0me I see. That makes sense.

[@marioisawesome8218]

a similar thing happens in mario 3. a specific sprite is drawn that has higher priority over mario but the sprite goes behind background tiles, such as ground and pipes. the sprite is needed because mario is drawn in front of background tiles

Go to the "Subscriptions" tab. It always has all of the most recent videos from all the channels you subscribe to. Alternatively, you can click the bell next to the "Subscribe" button to get notifications.

[@Sarwex117]

it happens to me a lot. when i watch some video, youtube puts videos from my home feed or random unrelated videos, but NOT RELATED TO CURRENT ONE I AM WATCHING

[@Kosmicd12]

I could tell youtube was doing that but here is proof 😡

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@Sarwex117 They're always fiddling with their algorithm, trying to find a balance between recommending videos you already know you'll like and recommending videos you don't know you like so that you can expand your horizons. I mostly use the Subscriptions tab, so I never have this issue. I have a feeling a lot of people don't even know that exists.

[@cmspeedrunner3733]

11:54 “we should name them something like piranha plant”

[@Myself086]

22:47 Sprite order can override sprite priority (depth) between one another before the background is drawn. In other words, spiny was drawn, then Mario is drawn over it, then when background is drawn, priority is finally taken into account. SMB3 puts sprites behind the pipe when anything enters or exits it rather than placing Mario/plant/goomba behind the pipe. SNES games can use the same trick as well.

[@kruksog]

[@bryantnonya8704]

I just seen something in this video that validated what I said about the flagpole not lowering if you beat the level by clipping through the block at the bottom! If you notice when you beat one of the levels you clipped right through the spiny which confirms what I said before about the level complete trigger causing the game to ignore the flagpole. In other words the level trigger does extend down into the block while the flagpole animation trigger does not!

[@Jay-Kaizo]

I've never been a fan of kaizo blocks in kaizo levels. It was fine in the beginning. Mario Maker destroyed any funniness about them for me. I think I just don't have the patience to play a level really slowly to find the hidden blocks. I prefer hard levels that are well-made.

I don't think anything causes the palette color of the blocks underwater. They just used the blocks for the overworld and darkened them. Perhaps it is just laying them on the blue background but doesn't seem anything drastic.

Can I say it's so stupid that they put troll invisible blocks in like every hack?
