Super Mario Bros 3 Red Pipe Glitch

I figured I'd give this a try myself and see if I can finish the game using the red pipe glitch. Lo and behold, after doing the necessary steps to achieve the glitch ending, I did it! Just wanted to share my experience. :) It was awesome!
Here's the video of me redoing the red pipe glitch 5 years after. :)

I found this by accident when I was 6 years old. Could never prove it and 25 years later here it is. Now when my bro gets out of prison I can prove I wasn't lying 25 years ago lol

[@kickman7429]

so when you were 6, you accidently placed koopa shells in certain x positions and did the red pipe glitch, or did you just accidently do the red pipe glitch?

[@TheNerdyKoopa]

[@natefoldan]

The exact same thing happened with my brother and I. I clearly remember being sucked up by the red pipe. I've occasionally tried seeing if anyone else found it, but I always searched for "black pipe glitch" and variations of that. I had forgotten that there was red on it as well. There are other places this pipe can pop up.

[@RyneMcKinney]

Basically what's happening is the game is trying to execute a value that doesn't exist when you go in that fake pipe so it's gets all confused... Thus taking you to the last value located in it's memory, the ending

[@SuperNormalMan]

It's not fake, Mario entered the pipe from the wrong direction, which doesn't have an exit, thus the fame trying to find one.

DaEasyGamer Gaming: Not really, it his basically how game code works placing the koopas to match the in-game code to activated the start of the princess room, during normal game play if you do that there will be no way for the game to read does code, by doing this before going to uninteaded area truth a glitch, hitting the note block in the unitended area will cause the game to read does X cordinated of koopa shell as code. this his why that happen, when you go in the unitended area the note block that appears there actually exist in the actually real part of the level, in the real part of the level it will not crash because when it add plus 15(0F) to found his sprite for bouncing animation, there his not problem, however when you are in the unitended are that note block gets incorrectly place in the read only memory of the game, 9C61 but his search for his bounce sprite his still plus 0F(15) so it will look in 9C70 which his still in Read only, and that sprite his not there, and it also tell the game to write something 9C70 which it his still Read only so writting something to read only is impossible for the machine, and the attempt of the machine to do that redirected to 80, and then 81(the 80 and 81, does not equal 80 or 81, they actually equal to bigger number since the united goes from 0 to F) of the Ram, and then it will go all the way to 93 where the Instruction you put in with the shell, 94 and 95 will not exist since they are fused as an instruction with 93 Ram(93 does not equal 93, because of the unit goes from 0 to F).

Yeah, hold down like you would going down a pipe. It's a pixel corner where it's properties would be the pipe you're jumping into the side to.

i accidentally did someone like this just today on world 5-5. i don’t remember what i really did, but i had a shell and i was in an area with 3 pipes covered with blocks. i jumped down from the third pipe, shell in hand and i went down the same red pipe and it made me go in a room with a big block with a tanooki suit in it

It's there regardless, but all that stuff I had to do before entering the red pipe was necessary to get the glitch ending.

[@robertandruw7647]

This is true event that happend to me. I was stuck in one of the stages at world 2 between pipe and blocks couldn't reach the pipe so I can finish the stage, suddenly this red pipe appears and I went in and came out at the finish area of the stage. I was like what the heck was that. I was a little kid by the time in the 90s.

do you press down to go down the red pipe or do you just touch the area and start going down it?

+viperasp: There his a mush easier set-up, it was not me who found the easier set-up, but I did found a way to make it work more consistently, make sure to flick the paratroopa when his feat are align with the first lip of the pipe the bottom lip of the pipe, the paratroopa must be moving upward, and then place it in the correct position, and if you take the pipe on the right walk off to the right to dispond the shell, since it his a floor shell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGUpIJjjt2bfa8 And that consistency method only works for, if run on machine with High Memory capacity, Exemple: WiiU virtual console, Wii Virtual console, on a computer, and/or labtop, and Nes mini classic edition.

P.S. I am 9 and watched this over and over again and I couldn't resist anymore. I did this successfully but in an easier version somehow. You just have to hit the three ?-blocks and run to the left and keep jumping and hit down at the longer pipe. Done successfully, you should just go through the red pipe. (For Nintendo Switch and won't warp you to the castle).

[@viperasp]

@@hudsonwright7505 The red pipe glitch is there, regardless of any variables you decide to set in place (ie for you the coin blocks). The steps needed to reach the princess are necessary as they read as different bits of information for the game to glitch into the ending.

hold down, you will slide right, then jump while holding down when you get to the edge of the screen.

I sometimes wonder if these levels where built in a similar way you do in mario maker. like those glitched up graphics on the bottom of the stage just appear to be assets left on the canvas that the level designer didn't use, which included somehow a warp zone to the end of the game, I'm sure they didn't erase any of it because they figured no one could see any of it.
