Super Mario Bros 3 LOST BITS | Cut Content & Unused Levels [TetraBitGaming]

[@celarts5752]

I feel like some of these may have gone unused by accident, especially the bush and tileset stuff in the beginning, considering how unfinished the final versions look.

[@KorporalKReephdmkiytrecv69]

Mario himself became a lost bit on that one castle level. I got lost so many times trying to find the correct door to advance

[@razernexus2717]

Is this a reference to sma?

That 'P' Symbol at 2:11 really makes me think of those wax seals that envelopes used to be sealed with, so given its found among the graphics used for the letter from Princess Toadstool I'd wager maybe at some point some graphical representation of Mario unsealing the envelope to read the letter was displayed rather than the letter just appearing on screen. Just a guess though.

[@MikeyTaylorGaming]

Had to check that you'd not covered this one before! Surprised to see you have such big titles like this still behind the curtain 👀 Sad to see that the overworld sprite animations got scrapped to be honest, I was thinking it could be a hardware limitation too but don't have enough knowledge of the system to make that call... It's crazy how some complicated screens take a small amount of data and some basic looking ones hit the limit ahaha

[@DavidWonn]

As the original discoverer of the 6-letter form of debug mode in the 1990s, it was more of a very lucky find than it was anything else, as I did not have access to the game's code at the time. I wrote up its history in the description of a video on my channel if anyone is interested (and it is also documented on my old website.) 14:48 I’ve encountered this level on extremely rare occasions back when I used to mess with rapidly removing the AC adaptor from the wall (and later by merely partially ejecting the cartridge.) Usually Mario spawns above the World 1 map, offscreen in the upper left, and if you’re able to move further to the left, you might gain access to this stage, but as stated, it is extremely rare.

What if the giant letter above the throne room is actually a screen. When the King tells Mario he received a letter from the Princess, they use that to look at it as an E-mail.

[@alphabettispaghetti2568]

3:35 That unused castle sprite was later re-used in the GBA port in World E.

[@jasminefrazier8624]

That suposed to be a ghost house

[@fusserizer7027]

I think the purple pipe tile that was replaced with regular bricks was removed because it wouldn't be clear to the player that it's something you can break otherwise. And the unused bush was probably cut because it would have just cut off awkwardly.

[@ekswfrenwn7]

17:27 you mentioned that this secret exit is normally inaccessible and you need a cheat to walk through the wall, but if you just have any power up you can actually clip by duck jumping on the top right corner and access it in the vanilla game pretty easily.

[@minenetchamipon1427]

That question mark block with beige texture [no outline] could of been a early texture for the note block or what the dice would of looked like before you roll it.

[@joshslater2426]

I like the yellow Cheep Cheep and green Parabeetle. A basic principle of enemy design is to change a colour on them and give them an upgraded function. One of the most obvious is the green Koopa Troopa falling off the edge but the red one staying on. Why not have Cheep Cheeps and Parabeetles that have reversed behaviour patterns?

[@doublebass1985]

That Koopa in the Bonus game is used in the Japanese release.

[@HamdaneIhab]

The beta version of the castle sprite is technically used but only if you glitch the sprites on the warp world 9(by making the camera go there when you go to the last part of the three worlds and move right if you do it long enough youll see the beta version of the castle sprite so yeah its technically used)

Because of the similarity between the icon for peach on the letters, and the usused toad sprite, I think that at some point you would've maybe gotten a letter from a toad, rather than peach.

[@diegoaguilar1954]

14:10 This reminds me of Bleck Castle from Super Paper Mario, you can see why if you look at the pipes

[@JoelTheParrot]

12:20 If hammer bros stages are in all of the worlds already then that's just good for organization's sake, and isn't hard to make. Still need to get around to playing this game on All Stars on the Switch.

The original text for Princess's letters actually references a "gem" being enclosed. So I believe the original concept was a P-gem or Power gem instead. Maybe it would have had more uses than the P-wing, but that's only speculation.

The starry background at 16:13 is actually from the underground levels and the reason it appears is because the stage was never finished completely so graphic glitches are common in unfinished stages.
