Trapping Mario YouTubers in my NEW Troll Level

[@TheUnkGamer]

smant: "unless theres one behind the odyssey" fir: *breathing stops* smant: "no theres not" fir: *sigh of relief*

[@MagiRemmie]

The only reason Smant didn't notice is because the camera flipped out and didn't show him the proper view which makes it more hilarious.

[@Stan-b4x]

I'm your 2k like

[@SquirrellyOtter]

"You found the checkpoint" Never has so much despair been attached to that phrase

[@Drekromancer]

Honestly. You can see it in their eyes. They're still smiling bc they've finally got the answer to the puzzle. Then they respawn and take in their surroundings - and the smile immediately drops into a dead-eyed stare. Fucking beautiful.

[@Arexion5293]

Tomb Raider 1 on PS1 has a somewhat similar feeling. The ps1 version for some reason decided to make the save points work only once, so when you came into a room and saw two save spots floating around, you would feel absolute dread because you have no clue when you should use one of them.

[@Zack_Zander]

I’ve seen it a lot in Mario Maker maps, but my god this one is even more dreadful and I love it.

The smirk on your face as Alpha and Smant were talking about a dev door at the start must’ve been massive

So at what point, I wonder, does "troll level" cross the line into "psychological torture"? Because this one felt pretty dang close.

I feel like the 2 go hand in hand

There is no line, they're just the same

Psychological trollture

[@atsukana1704]

This is not a troll level. Not like those you find in mario maker that are good (sorry fir but no you broke too many rules) This does cross into psychological torture

[@Smallant]

You gave me an extra minute for not having my costume last time. Can I have it this time to plsplspls 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@mdmackint]

how does smallant have only 25 likes

[@EzCope]

How does this only have 2 comments is the real question

[@loudnoises5372]

I mean to be fair, if Fir didn't yell at CJ to "GO GO GO GET THE MOON HURRY" he would have hesitated longer then those 2 seconds..

Dude he was so close to screwing up Fir's master plan twice. Smart even mentioned a secret entrance BEHIND the odyssey

[@soldier7012]

i love how they always try stuff that would actually make sense first even though they know it's not gonna work.

[@JosephJoestar69420]

Thats a streamer moment right there

[@bluestar2059]

See, they're trying to predict the double-bluff. If you go into a level expecting everything to be a troll, then the biggest troll is for something to be normal.

[@jakefromstatefarm6969]

If you do the obvious thing and it fails, you feel a little dumb. If you ignore the obvious thing and it was the solution the whole time? You feel super dumb.

[@moka6058]

It's also more comforting to just rule it out from the start so you don't spend every attempt questioning if that really was the solution all along.

[@timedragon1]

If Smant saw it the first time he went around the Odyssey, that would have truly been a legendary moment in Mario Escape Room history.

[@JamesRoberts-r5v]

For all intents and purposes he could’ve. We’d just never know. Getting the solution in 5 minutes doesn’t make good content for your friend. So he’d either have to go through everything or get cut from the video. Maybe he gets a short solo segment at the end but it’s just not funny enough

[@zyrage]

@@JamesRoberts-r5vHe probably would have started a second run to get the Level as well

[@TheDigileet]

Just imagine CJ and Alpha losing their minds as Fir tells them that Ant has already finished

[@MagiRemmie]

@@zyrage Honestly Smant is the kind of guy that would play the level just to be the homie.

[@LovelyIKnowx]

@@JamesRoberts-r5v fwiw months later, Smant did clarify on stream that while he didn’t find the door, Fir did later tell him that if he had, Fir would’ve asked him to play through anyways :)

[@CascadeHope]

Out of all of the things that conspired in this level.. I love how Small Ant lost to CJ from trying out multiple hearts for 'science'

[@Drekromancer]

Oh, man. Even a single mistake or scientific inquiry would account for the difference. That's horrendous. 😂

[@iantaakalla8180]

Even worse, some of those tests were suspecting the exit was at the beginning of the level. If only he was more exploratory then

[@clairekopenhafer8272]

I love Alpha's reverse psychology on these levels

[@JosephJoestar69420]

Alpharad is smart dude

[@chappjack]

yep

[@randompog8493]

When you're not that technical and more so a playboy you're gonna think in a different shape

[@FFKonoko]

Reverse engineering. Guessing based on what he would do.

[@FFKonoko]

​@@randompog8493 😂😂😂 A playboy? Seriously?

[@colinbaker5306]

I was half expecting that the timer room was actually secretly SMO Online, and Fir would just hit a button on the other side of the map at some point in their frustration for comedic timing to open the door

[@Drekromancer]

That would have been legendary

[@MelodiCat753]

The Halloween video eventually did something similar!

[@kingofthelandbaby]

I can’t wait until for the next escape room where every single one of the them tries the odyssey at the very beginning

[@DanelerH]

But doing so brings them to a “real” room with a checkpoint. They have to get through a series of rooms to get back to the start, unless they pull an Alpharad and just restart from Cap.

[@doctorreed_]

going through cap kingdom instead of hell was actually genius, timer be damned

[@Drekromancer]

Agreed. I wish it had paid off by making him fast enough to win.

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I knew that room had to just be a timer. The way Fir led them on I think stopped them from realizing. Great stuff.

[@InexplicableInside]

Fir and Smallant continue to share a brainstem. If only Smant had trusted his gut about the exit! But the final scores are a fantastic result too.

[@andrewgreenberg1862]

I think maybe he wanted to check it, but went along with the level for content. I don't know, his intuition seemed too strong to search as minimally as he did.

[@Riverbui]

When you hid the win condition in the odyssey pipe, my first thought was "smallant is absolutely the type of person to think to look at the odyssey during one of these challenges" And I was only half wrong.

[@rosysighting]

I just want to know what Alpha, Smant and cjya did to deserve this troll level

[@fiendfi7119]

alpha made the impossible escape room. the other two, idk.

[@emile_jeanne]

[@zombiegroan3985]

That checkpoint foreshadowing tho.

[@clarfonthey]

The design on this is actually golden. The gate at the beginning has so many layers.

[@CasuallyShadow]

I love how these really just show how smart Alpharad is...That or he just thinks like a sadist just like Fir, one of the two, or both.

[@SugarSpice07]

One half one, one half the other. He's smart, but he's the same type of person, so he can use his smarts to put that to use.

[@_WiZ420]

alpharad suggesting the dev door fuckin killed me lmao

[@username5155]

How did Alpharad not realize he could just load a completed save and take the Odyssey to Cascade Kingdom?

[@onenerdwithpocky9937]

I've come to the conclusion that Fir's love language is SMO troll levels

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

I can't believe Smant went back to the Odyssey to look for an exit twice and missed it.

[@velvetbutterfly]

It's cool that each contestant got a free gas light just for being on the show

[@rosysighting]

I just realised that while cjya & smallant thought they were doing an escape room at first while alpharad thought he was doing a troll level right of the bat because alpha has only done the other troll level

[@matthiashopkins7502]

even if jacob didnt win this, he definitely was the one who outsmarted the outsmarted

[@raym764]

He probably just died too many times

[@tyresr]

Every Fir video these days is an absolute banger, literally becoming one of my favorite channels

[@AlexBelethe]

The instant they started doing nonsense thing in the goomba room, I knew it was gonna be a timer. Nothing they did was alike, and it reminded me too much of a psych experiment I'd seen on tv befor, where a group of people were trying to increase a score, that turned out to be controlled by the movement of a goldfish xD

[@HummusMan300]

29:05 CJ: “I FORGOT” Fir: “You forgot!” Me: “He FIRgot…”

[@Silver_Sonic_23]

I can't believe that Alpharad just gave up and tried to cheat the system... and he still lost.

[@peperoni_pepino]

I mean, he does the first world in less than 25 minutes, so he decided to cheat after he had already lost -- and Fir likely let him know that. At that point, it didn't really matter anymore; he isn't a Odyssee speedrunner like the other two so going back with the trick jumps would likely just have been painful (to do and to watch).

[@kiminimuchu__]

I mean, it probably was faster than redoing Fir's level, he simply wasn't going to beat CJ and SmallAnt regardless.

[@raym764]

I love it because he was the only one who thought about skipping challenge and actually find a way Yes, he lost, but i still like the way he think

[@orca3432]

My favorite part of these videos will always be the tight race between cj and smant since their play styles are so different yet effective in their own way. Smant can cut out failures and therefore save time with his intellect and guesswork, meanwhile cj keeps diving headfirst and learns later. It's always a toss up to which one is better and I love finding out at the end. (Tldr, I attribute this loss to smant hesitating before picking up the death heart instead of skipping it altogether, or picking it up right away like cj did)

[@samiamrg7]

20:00 “I don’t jnow how fish momentum works” is such a funny comment out of context.

[@mortmortmort8908]

"hOw Do YoU nOt KnOw" like the door didn't just open for no apparent reason for all 3 of them

[@toran9909]

smants last line is actually genius xD

[@kraykyle]

Okay but was anyone else thinking about what good emotional support that Altaria plushie behind Fir would've been for them? They really needed it.

[@mike_havens]

I love trolls where the player barely has to do anything but has to go through hell to find that out!😂 Kudos for doing this,my friend!

[@vietnamgamer9490]

25:35 the way his smile falls

[@benarim]

I laughed so hard! I do feel a bit sorry for them though, that must have been so frustrating.. But one of these days, you'll have trained them well with the troll levels. And then it's just going to be a perfectly normal custom level and they'll second guess themselves at every step I look forward to the next descent into madness!

[@turkeyman631]

I know a lot of work goes into making these escape rooms, but I love them so much. Dont think theres a series of videos on KZbin I'm more excited to click on, and that is including Hide and Seek.

Fir is such a great troll level host because of his commentary for people figuring things out. It’s always great to see people get trolled but his commentary adds so much.

[@RockingSpaceDragon]

[@wezletbullock7424]

This was the best one so far. The fact that Alpharad and Smallant made a comment about the exit being at the beginning is amazing 🤣. And also including the only checkpoint at the very end after they realize that the exit was at the beginning 😂
