What's so special about this TROLL LEVEL?

[@frankfilmic]

I believe that the second troll is achieved through progressive powerups. When you don't have a powerup, a mushroom spawns off-screen and moves to the right, activating a switch of sorts. But when you already have a powerup that mushroom is turned into a static fire flower which can't activate the mechanism.

[@lucielm]

That's brilliant. I wouldn't think of that in level design.

[@TOSkwar22]

The sheer creativity of some of the most complex trolls in SMM absolutely astounds me. They think of things that I never would have even considered as triggers for insane, complex machinery that results in all new ways to kill you. It's an art form, really.

[@Stephen_Brooks]

That is indeed what the creator did. There is a comment (from the creator) somewhere on a recent CarlSagan42 video, I think Dec 19 one. But good luck loading all those comments and finding it.

[@DIProgan]

It surprises me that Ryu couldn't figure that out, old trick by now.

[@Merennulli]

@@DIProgan He's used to thinking of progressive powerups from a mushroom perspective. Link feels like a character change rather than a powerup, so it's easy to forget that it is just a powerup.

[@UnorthodoxSoundwave.]

11:45 It _is_ a checkpoint, it's just the one you already have. The ON/OFF switch changes the room to appear as the original room.

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

How's that work?

[@UnorthodoxSoundwave.]

The on/off switch was different when he re-entered, causing some things to spawn differently, or not spawn at all by getting in the way

[@Darkmega11]

@@jayjax229 It certainly doesn't seem like it. Unless Ryu's reactions were fake, lots of those trolls wouldn't work if you knew the troll, especially the last one, which was shown on Carl's channel. Most good and consistent content creators don't watch other stuff due to time constraints- the work is good because they spend a lot of time on it.

[@EnderofGames]

In the Link level, "What is different when you are not Link?" The answer is progressive powerups. Mushrooms move and activate notebooks. Fire flowers do not. Any creator can track if an area loads with Mario in base state or any powered up state using this trick. However, you cannot track between different powered up states using this.

12:36 it’s CP2 again. He blew up the blocks and had another door behind a bill blaster. He changed the fire clown car to a regular one as well.

[@jaeusa160]

@12:30 I believe that "fake" CP is CP2, which is still flagged as collected because it is your most recent Checkpoint. However, with all the Switches and gizmos going off, different Cannons are present/missing giving you access to a different door out of the room. Switches have done a huge amount for the creative capacity of level makers in that you can make 2 (or even more) versions of the same room, using the actual same room. That said, there IS also a Checkpoint duping glitch I saw in a recent Juz video for MM2 which lets someone place at least a 3rd CP.

[@jaeusa160]

@17:40 I believe there is something with the Link costume where a spawned Mushroom will become a Master Sword if you are already Link. Swords don't move when spawned, but Mushrooms slide. As such, the Mushroom activates a mechanism which triggers the Wisdom vine. If you're Link, it won't be a Mushroom, thereby trapping you. And, of course, the same effect is used in all the various challenge rooms to allow you to progress via events only as not-Link.

[@Zaratuir]

To answer your questions, in the first level, it's CP 2 that you drop into first, but the switch configuration is different so cannons spawn differently making it look like CP 1 and a different door is revealed. In the second level, it's just a bit of progressive power up magic causing mushrooms vs fire flowers to spawn to do different things.

Ryu, the second level was different when you were not link because of progressive power-ups. Imagine a bomb under a note block that drops a muncher. There is a progressive power-up a few tiles to the side of it. When you are link, the power-up is a fireflower or master sword, which does not move and stays in place, not activating the note block. Without a power-up on Mario, the progressive power-up is a mushroom, which moves over and activates the note block, activating the bomb. Hope this clears it up! ;)

[@hillrp1]

Regarding your question in the first level about what the creator used to make it so convincingly look like a checkpoint: It was a check point. It was the second checkpoint. You don't collect it because that is the checkpoint you already have. The reason the door leads somewhere else is because it's a different door. The on/off blocks are in a different position the second time you enter the room, so the cannons are in different positions. They are now covering the first door you used and revealing the second. That's also what allowed you to actually CP1 yourself if you try to out smart the level by using the blue on/off block to go backwards. It wasn't there before, so that pipe was inaccessible

[@pumajlr]

The mechanics people build just with the tools provided are absolutely amazing. That's the best part of troll levels to me.

[@confushisushi]

The answer to the link level is surprisingly simple ;) Progressive powerups,so if your small it's a mushroom and it runs over a noteblock to activate whatever, if youre link it's a sword/fireflower and does not move to activate the block.

Oh that checkpoint troll is nice, and actually somewhat simple. To answer ryu's question: It looks like a checkpoint because it is a checkpoint. However, this time he didn't spawn from the left, but from above, which messes with the way the launchers spawn. If you look at CP2 with the red clown car, you can see there's 6 blocks between the checkpoint and the launchers, but when he reenters from above, there's only 3 blocks inbetween.

Thanks so much for playing Twoll-light Princess Ryu! Don’t feel bad - so many people lose the powerup, see different things happen, but don’t realize why that would matter until they get to the Wisdom Room. 😈 Also to answer your question, the whole level is done with progressive powerups. When you’re Link, the powerups evolve into fire flowers, which are stationary and don’t do anything. When you’re non-Link, they devolve into mushrooms, which move around to activate certain things I’ve set up in the level. 🤓 Happy new year, looking forward to another year/decade of watching Ryu videos! 😄🎉
