+Armando Garza +Armando Garza No, Daisy is from the Marioland game (Game Boy) the princess of the NES and SNES has alaways been Peach (AKA Toadstool, she didn't go by the name Peach till the N64. The last game she was called Toadstool was Super Mario RPG. Well, in Noth America. In Japan she was always called Peach.)

[@thehyphykid510]

daisy is from the super Mario brothers movie lol

[@CSLucasEpic]

The movie came out in 1993, Super Mario Land came out in 1989. Also the movie was a piece of shit. Daisy was the princess in Super Mario Land, that's the first time she ever appeared. The ending shows that. Also the instruction booklet for the game mentions that Mario Land takes place far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, in Sarasaland. And the final bad guy is not Bowser/Koopa but a guy called Tatanga. Basically the only thing in common between Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Land is that Mario is in it.

What's TAS?

[@henrynguyen9182]

@@nhlnms it's tool-assisted speedrun, meaning humans don't need to participate at all and the computer will find the best way to play the game. It's what I heard

[@leparraindufromage366]

@@henrynguyen9182 That sounds a bit more advanced, it can also just be having an emulator or some external hardware automatically make controller inputs according to a preprogrammed sequence, and since with an emulator or comparable hardware, you have full access to the game state (even RNG), and since a machine can make the inputs frame-perfect and/or do inputs you can't physically do on a controller, it's a good way to find out how low you can physically go with the time if you could do a perfect run with optimal inputs. Most of the time there is in fact a human at least supervising the process and who has the game state advance frame by frame while programming the inputs (you can also backtrack and edit any inputs you previously programmed if there is any room for optimization). TAS have their own merits, but of course runs done in real time in a single segment by humans are definitely more impressive, especially if they get really close to TAS times

[@Xpl1k3R890]

i always considered mario 2 a strange game just the way it looks and feels

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

Xpl1k3R890 that's because the real mario 2 was not released outside of Japan until super Mario all Stars was released on nes. super Mario lost levels was originally super Mario 2 but Japan didn't release it out of country due to at the time absurd difficulty as well as it was very similar to the first. the super Mario 2 we got was a reskinned game originally called dokidoki panic.

[@stevoridesagain]

This wasn't originally a Mario game at all, that's why. This was originally a game called Doki Doki Panic, and featured an Arabian family as the main characters. The actual, original Super Mario Bros. 2 was in the style of the original, but much, much harder. Nintendo figured that it would be too difficult for Western gamers, and decided to release DDP to the West instead, replacing the Arabian family with Mario Bros. characters. Nintendo would later release the original Super Mario Bros. 2 as The Lost Levels (albeit with updated graphics), bundled in Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES.

[@ksiorze]

stevoridesagain The prototype of Doki Doki Panic was thinked like a Mario game, so yes it was originally intended to be a Mario game.

[@foxbear60]

+Adam Howell It's because this game was just another game with Mario characters slapped onto it.

[@HowDoUPlayGames]

fudgecake11245 I think it was supposed to be their representation of falling asleep. Your idea is good too, but this wasn't even originally a Mario game. They took another Nintendo game called Doki Doki Panic, and rehashed it as SMB2 for Americans.

[@kjam2109]

I know everything about the doki doki panic and the smb2 too hard for america, but still when I first played smb2 I literally panicked so hard when I just started falling, even knowing it wasnt a typical mario game. I do like that Idea of falling asleep tho c:

[@HowDoUPlayGames]

fudgecake11245 Yeah, to be honest I'm glad this became SMB2. I think this game is more fun than the Japanese version of SMB2. Also, thanks on the like. I think the ending of SMB2 tends to lend my idea a little credibility. :P

It would make sense if he's a tyrant of nightmares, tho. Sure, he hates veggies...but so does everybody else. If he can control the production of them, he can saturate people's dreams with having to "eat your vegetables". Tyrants are also very untrusting of their subordinates. Keep the thing you fear close to prevent others from using it against you. Maybe I've over thought this...

[@scottwinn1246]

+pustulio81 They didn't glitch the game, its all within the boundaries of the games rules. How is it cheating to use the mechanics present within the game? That's like saying using your sword to defeat enemies in Zelda is cheating. Obviously you should only use deku sticks and your boomerang, because that would be the most difficult way to defeat the game. It's a different category of speed run, this would be considered an any% speed run where you are allowed to skip parts of the game through warps or any other means. If you don't like it that's fine but that's why they have 100% categories, for people who like to see every part of the game played. Also before you put down other peoples efforts, you could not pull off 9 minutes with or without warps. It's impressive either way.

With the exception of mario64, still my favorite. Distinct among the franchise as an "off model" game with unusual enemies, (and ways to kill them), no bowser, and the only mario game (outside of mario rpg and the party/kart games) that gives you a choice of four characters. Plus, what a great "game win" payoff vs. SMB's profound 8-bit let-down of an "Oh, hey man, thanks. Yeah, all those castles and this is what you get. What? You want more? Well here, have seconds.. with beetles."

[@DioOdinson]

You can play as 4 or more characters in New Super Mario bros. Wii and New Super Mario bros. U deluxe. And Super Mario 3D World.

[@jazzbassist]

As a kid in the nineties, this game got tons of play time. But, never did I get past world 3 (no saves...). I always wondered what the rest of the game was like. Now I know. You changed my life...

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

This was the only Super Mario Bros. game I beat as a kid, except for Super Mario World. Those were also my two favorites! I'd love to see Wart come back in some capacity. Also, I played like this person; Toad and Luigi only!

[@pjay213]

Same, well i beat the others, but my 2 faves

[@DeadlyVenomKing]

literally ran through this game. never seen such good gameplay

[@jakks345]

DeadlyVenomKing he hits every single jump, it's ridiculous. he makes this game look really easy which is comical

[@TheOriginalFrankMatthews]

Every body know the princess was the shit.

[@gabec6522]

I beat this game once in 36 years

[@sserpent21]

FINALLY someone who knows you can superjump with the key as Luigi to get up on the hill. I thought I was the only one.

[@HOTRODRICO]

this guys ability to avoid damage was amazing along with his precision jumps on things to avoid falling... props man bad ass

[@BloodyandEnchained]

its funny that the game seems almost conceived so you can zip through levels if youre good enough

[@GFkilla17]

All the early mario games were like that.

[@caligulajones1237]

5:47 :O

[@foxbear60]

I KNOW! Such a cool trick that I never knew.

[@takigan]

Freaking amazing. It reminds me of shell juggling in the Kaizo hacks

[@LaShea69]

I didn't even know you could do that. I usually just go under with the quicksand, making sure that I keep jumping to keep from sinking.

[@vickistover2446]

Wish I woulda known. I loved this game man.

[@cavekid27]

S’amazin

[@cool6591]

It's amazing really when you think about it, when I was a kid playing this game, the internet did not exist, you couldn't just KZbin a game and find out where your going wrong, you just had to either stick at it or give up, well 22 years later watching this video shows me that I really sucked at that game.

[@rickybobby4827]

😂😂😂😂 dude me too !!

[@gugggugggugggugggugggugggu5671]

Luigi is best character confirmed

[@CosmicAnimosty138]

only because he can jump the highest. on some levels i cant jump to higher grounds

[@ShaddySoldier]

doodle luigi best brother confirmed

[@gugggugggugggugggugggugggu5671]

Luigi best Mario character confirmed

[@keonta81]

the princess was the best on the game in my opinion

[@somebadbatter]

gugg Luigi is overrated

[@Supermario0727]

I couldn't even beat the first level of this game …

[@ianpatrick23]

This game was my absolute nemesis as a kid

[@Mont1.]

As a kid, the worst part for me was, i'd want to give up but i'd really wanted to see the ending.

[@SyphistPrime]

Looks like this was recorded with a VCR, which means it was on the actual hardware. That's impressive.

[@thelagycreeper32]

*World Record* Publicly maybe. Some can maybe do it faster but he/she has not told anyone

[@christopherjuarez7364]

Mario and peach=low tier

[@eldacar351]

Peach was a specialist though. There were certain areas or moves that were DESIGNED for the player to discover through her levitation act.

[@asoldierseyes]

Ari Agbabian Thanks, i honestly didn't know this. I knew her "gliding" helped in some parts but didn't know hers was to help find some specific areas. +1

[@johncrandall5782]

You'd think the titular character would be more useful

[@WindowshadeCure]

Ari Agbabian unless your as good as this guy, 6-2 is practically impossible to clear with anyone but Peach

[@MrRedbone19]

And....Im rage quitting. ya not getting my points

[@scaf_007vs3]

Extremely impressive! I was expecting some cheap number counting bs but glad it was all skill!

[@leohicks1]

You just ruined my childhood. I never made it past 7-1.

[@Strangeweather01]

Just finish it now dummy. ;) Childhood left intact.

[@Yowesephth]

SPEED LUIGI feat. Toad

[@bobosprinkles]

Damn. No glitches or anything like that. Just a perfect game. So impressive.

[@Ringcaat]

I think technically, jumping while climbing ladders and chains is a glitch. That's why it lets you skip most of 7-2; I doubt the designers intended that. (But yes it is very impressive. My favorite part is the Albatoss-jumping in 6-2.)

[@NoobSlayer2013]

SUPAH MARIO BROTHERS 2 BABY THIS GAME HAS WON GAME OF THE YEAR FOR 20 YEARS RUNNING

[@VideosbySteve]

7:55 i never knew there was a shortcut. Gonna have to try that myself.

[@MatthewFoos]

+VideosBySteve That's no REAL shortcut... it's a bug if you "jump" off the chain and onto the "top" of the screen - kinda cheesy he uses it a couple times on this speed run - I don't like it

[@feioncastor]

+Matthew Foos I agree. Bug exploitation is kinda cheating.

[@kaimanjig9607]

+feioncastor not really its there because the creators put it there or bad coding and this is an Any% speed run so you don't need to find all the secrets and try to get the end credits by any means necessary even if it means glitchy gyro the credits

[@kaimanjig9607]

+Kaiman JIG *to the credits

[@billiamgates5872]

+VideosBySteve Me neither. i thought I knew them all. Time to break out the emulator.

[@CaptainFoufeu]

You could tell it was recorded on VHS because of some of the lines and fuzziness. This was probably a world record run for its time when it was recorded. Though there are a few (but very, very few) times where there was a mis-timed jump, including the clouds and ladders area in world 6, where it could have been a tad bit faster. But I'm not complaining at all. I know I can't do speed runs for any game, so I would never judge anyone's skills in doing it. I'm only quoting my army NCOIC, Sergeant Powell (E7 Sergeant First Class), "Meh. There's still room for improvement, you doggone knucklehead!" He was such a cheery guy. Sarcasm... It helps! Excellent video! It would be nice if this still holds a world record time, or at least in the world's top 10 fastest.

[@yakojjy]

This is how the SMBs went. 1. Was just a great game, made lots of money. 2. Took too many drugs, made this acid trip, decided not to take as many drugs. 3. Another great game. 2. was always my favorite though.

[@willspoil]

Wilbur Jenkins the second one wasn't made by Nintendo but bought by them and made into a Mario game.

[@Xx5thHorsemanxX]

Doki Doki Panic was made by the same team that made SMB1 and SMB2J. They just added Mario characters and branded it as SMB2 here because they felt American's wouldn't like SMB2J because of the difficulty and because it looked too much like SMB1.

[@CompactRisk]

Xx5thHorsemanxX Wrong again

[@TCcollector97]

7:07 almost fucks up the speed run but makes an excellent recovery.

[@andrescardeli9182]

Easily the trippiest Mario Bros game still to this day. Never got to beat it because my brother and I rented it from the local video rental store. Nice to be able to see the ending and the levels we never reached.

[@duxcowafe7202]

Just because his name is on a game doesn't mean that he can be the star of the game

[@saulyb]

7:54 - how do you do that invisible move ?!

[@killerb255]

Just jump from the chain to the very top of the screen. Hold right. Easy.

[@MrRastafari510]

I dont remember playing this when I was a kid. Love all the classic mario games.

[@MHBULLSFAN]

7:23 "I'm not dead"

[@MrVirrow]

this game gave me nightmares

[@hologramwithmass1253]

Lol how?

[@MrVirrow]

Slurpadeeslurp Too hard for me when I was a kid :(

[@RaiceGeriko]

MrVirrow Yeah - this game was pretty hard for kids. I could never beat it.

[@gilgosseyn6602]

Same here... I guess it's because it was so random, at least back then kids had never experienced anything so completely random and nonsensical. You know what they say, people fear what they dont understand, and I think until this day no one really understands wtf is going on in this game. It's like a crazy nightmare or fever-dream cloaked in what seems like a perfectly normal adventure platformer

[@MrVirrow]

Exactly! Couldn't have say it more clearly xD

[@TriforceSD]

I never thought about bringing that key to the end in 1-2. Brilliant!

[@jamiesmith4293]

I could've told myself to wait what... 25 years and watch this video instead? I would've saved years of my childhood doing more productive things. Curses you expensive distractions.
