[@AleksanderFimreite]

To give a programmer's perspective on what might be happening with the mushroom at 33:00... Usually in tile-based games, when a collision occurs, you tend to re-align the object's x or y coordinates with the edge of the tile it collided with. My guess is that when the mushroom first spawns and has not hit a wall yet, it's x-coordinate is ever so slightly different. Which is then barely enough to see the cloud collision underneath it before it drops too low and falls through. Why the coordinate is different when the mushroom spawns can be many reasons. But my guess would be that something called the "tick delta time" (which is responsible for making movement the same speed/time independant of framerate...) might be ever so slightly disturbed as a level loads after entering a door. As more things tends to happen and you might get a tiny framerate spike. Or it could simply end up spawning with a more perfect rounded number than the collision might end up calculating.

[@theonewhojustis6541]

I was gonna say the same thing, he just beat me to it, yeah, thats it.

[@Syllaren]

30:30 ... Is there a particular reason you couldn't just go in the door and respawn the p-switch? Edit: ok there we go.

[@scragar]

Overthinking it I expect. Carl was worried about it despawning the 1-up if he went in a door and just missed the fact that once he already collected it there was no reason he couldn't re-enter the doors to respawn things.

[@PotatoVariety]

Also, the hint door should just say "git gud"

[@princecuddle]

mushrooms spawn going towards the right. the mushrooms in the hint door all started right but those two hit the wall instantly without you noticing. a mushroom has a slower speed because of bonk but very minimal

[@nandobordas]

Came by the comments to see if anyone else had spotted this. Good eye. 😁

That end troll on the first puzzle was great. Carl was soooooo convinced that he won, only to go through the door and get dunked on. Lol. I don't know who was more shocked, Carl or I.

[@Goobergal8705]

I want to see a compilation of Carl's involuntary noises. It'd probably be a few hours long, even if it was just the noises, no context needed.

[@karatemario2760]

Absolutely awesome to see you playing puzzles again Carl! I started making puzzles because of seanhip and watching your playthroughs, so I am so glad to see you playing more again. I know you've said it's hard to find good puzzle creators, but hopefully this will go to show that there are endless puzzles out there yet to be found. Much love, karate

[@ahmetgrcn2663]

It's hard to one up yourself after making soooo many OSP. After awhile, you'll run out of ideas, and another will come by, with a fresh take. This is a normal thing of life. No one person can create many great things. :)

@@jexami I think what he means is that Sean has retired from Mario Maker to do more important things in his life.

[@DanielCruz-xi9qq]

So excited to see these puzzle levels are back again! Always enjoyed watching these uploads in the past and I look forward for more! Thank you!

[@warspyking]

A lot of people in the comments seem to think the mushroom's speed changes, but that's not the case (as far as I am aware) so I'm going to clarify to the best of my understanding what's actually going on: It depends on where the mushroom starts. The mushroom moves at a set speed, distance per frame, so sometimes it can position itself perfectly above that pit, and sometimes it just hops straight over. When the regular mushroom spawns when you exit the door, it's centered on the block, and lined up such that it can gracefully cruise over the pit. When it bonks the left wall collision puts it directly against the wall: not centered. It looks very similar but it's a subtle difference that the level was designed around. As for the 1-up, the parachute positioned it such that it would fall in the pit regardless.

[@AidanWR]

"This is good decheese." But you could still go through the door and get a P-Switch to complete the level when you did that. Oh hey, he figured it out, that he's not smart, that is

[@adipy8912]

A couple of weeks ago DGR got a big puzzle level in Expert where you do similar things with Morton's fireballs: KLJ VBJ Y6G

[@LEGnewTube]

I thought Carl played this level before. Now I’m wondering seeing as how this mechanic is new to him.

[@adipy8912]

He played a level where he had to guide fireballs from plants and cannons into bombs.

[@scotu7075]

Such a great first puzzle. The main mechanic is enough for it to be a good puzzle, but it gives the satisfaction of everything being multi-purpose and coming together nicely.

[@JM-us3fr]

I think that first one can be optimized further by collecting the four coins and entering the door during the p-switch. You can then melt the top block by catching the fireball with the pow, and the pow wave will drop the coin. This should combine the wait times of the p-switch and the fireball.

[@imaginationsquare]

[@Toxicflu]

the mushroom that hasn't hit any walls are a little floaty when they fly over the gaps. the mushroom that has hit a wall actually accelerates and doesn't glide over the gaps and so it falls. Moon physics has this effect.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

if mushroom has gone left it can't clear the gap. Notice how neither of the ones in the hint cleared the gap but didn't bonk anything, while the one going right skipped the hole.

[@harleykeiner4095]

mushroom goes right faster. Once it starts going left, it is set to the slower "left speed" even when going back right

yoo i love the one screen puzzles! i watched back most of the seanhip smm1 puzzles a few weeks ago so this is a pleasant surprise

[@abacussssss]

you should try Recursed, a lot of the puzzles give me seanhip vibes from how you carry around items in small rooms to gain access to other items

[@Aldenfenris]

For some reason on the 2nd puzzle level, it is as if the mushroom loses the tiniest bit of speed if it runs into a wall, which makes it unable to clear that gap. Which, after seeing so many levels taking advantage of weird mechanics, oversights and interactions, I don't find that surprising.

[@GigasGMX]

Nothing is more amusing/frustrating than watching Carl overcomplicate a SMM puzzle solution.

[@OfficialKingz_yt]

14:51 I think he could have just blocked the launcher by putting the pow on the floor before he went through the door

[@albertkirk5916]

it's not bonk, it's direction based. In the hint room, the mushroom on the bottom right falls in the pit without ever bonking. It just moves left. Edit: unless standig still counts as bonking, (or starting up against a wall on the right)

[@deviler2759]

Sometimes it hurts my brain watching you fumble around with a complex solution, instead of the obvious one xD

[@Sp4rkler3rickson]

Carl predicts mushroom will get trapped; Mushroom does not get trapped. Carl expects that the mushroom will not get stuck; the mushroom gets stuck. Is this quantum game mechanics?

[@Sp4rkler3rickson]

Or is the mushroom simultaneously getting stuck and not getting stuck? Is this Schroedinger's Shroom?

It's not only because of the bonking on the wall, right? In the hint room there was a mushroom that spawned from the right no bonk and it went through the hole. Is it that once the mushroom starts going from right to left it always falls?

At 32:51 in the hint room, unless the bottom right mushroom has a frame of moving left to right, then there's no bonk but it still falls through the hole. So it's possible that it isn't the bonk that causes the mushroom to drop, right?
