The Best Troll Level of 2024

[@EmpyreanRagnarok]

What I would have absolutely loved is if, somehow, that end troll, where the thwomp lands on the pow... somehow forced you go back to the "Don't hit the pow" room.

[@jumpman8282]

Hahaha!! Yeah, that would have been the funniest end troll, evva!

[@shadowflamelightburst4503]

I was hoping for some good old Mario maker troll magic to teleport you to that section of the level

[@DuhC0mmunity]

Carl actually asked for the “no pow” section, in one of his videos he said someone should make a troll level where if you fail you have to go back through the level to hit a spike. In this case it’s a pit but still

[@HarleyMaebry]

The No POW hint section is just Good Game Design. The creator trained you to not hit the POW blocks, and if you don’t learn, they gently reinforce that lesson by sending you back to the classroom. (Reference to Carl’s explanation of Good Game Design with his underwater level and training the player that they need more P Switches.)

[@sinteleon]

But does he learn anything?

[@WavemasterAshi]

It's not a good troll level until Carl says "we're dodging everything" even though he literally just fell for the troll

[@mrphlip]

Trying to untangle the red coins... 10:55 - the shell kicked here goes offscreen and somehow collects one of the red coins in the right hand column, to make it look like there's one on each. 12:20 - the shell kicked here, meanwhile, goes offscreen and somehow collects the coin in the middle column, so you only see the two on the right, to make it look like a coin has moved. 29:35 - this key is the red coin key, as Shenanigans collect all the coins at once (presumably there's a shell or smth behind the clown car, and some very elaborate teleport nonsense) 31:05 - after the key death, we can see all of the red coins, and there are in fact two in the right column and one in the middle, revealing that the previous coin-moving trick was, after all, a careful coin-collecting trick Meanwhile, the snake block trick, I mostly get... Like, afaik a snake block can only have one path, and it's definitely the same snake block under the pipe both times, so there must be a switcharoo happen, that the snake block goes under the lava, and then a _different_ snake block comes up beside the launcher, and there are two options for that second snake, one that goes straight and one that wiggles. Those two snake blocks can't have overlapping paths, so the launcher moves over by a block to disguise it. So far, so normal. I'm just not sure where it gets set up... my best guess is that it's when you're being pushed through the bumper, you have a mushroom and are being pushed down by the cannon, pushed down enough to activate a snake under the lava maybe? But I'm not sure how you make it be a different snake depending on the switch state... can snake blocks be spawn-blocked? I didn't think they could...

[@KaptnJolly]

yesss thank you for explaining.. but how DOES the shell actually collect the coin? i'm missing something. is shell working different when offscreen ? The Crimson Pancake is like walled off, how does shell get in there ?

[@harrysarai3947]

the snakes, there are 3 of them.the first 1 when you come out of the pipe, which pushes you all the way through the bumper. the other 2 are under the poison. the coin, first one the shell hit a pow and the screen moved so shell would die, but the coin was collected a couple of seconds after the shell set the pow off after the wrentchy guy fell into the poison. i dont know how that happened, i looking at the smm2 level viewer program right now,there are no shells near the red coins, and with the 1 ways, there is no way to get them by throwing a shell, or kicking a shell up. but hitting a brick with a coin under it with an explosion, that would collect it.

[@sinteleon]

@@harrysarai3947 and there's also the whole teleport shenenigans that could also do it these days, though I'd like to believe it wasn't done here. Kinda does away with the magic when everything can be explained by teleport shenenigans.

[@maurtendo]

Guessing the blocks around them aren't fully spawned in.​@@KaptnJolly

[@DaCoder]

Excellent sleuthing. I think the red wigglers are to make it so the player doesn't notice the coin get collected on the HUD. There also are p switch coin blocks that get instantly destroyed by a teleporting spike ball below each of the red coins. Not entirely sure why that is.

[@AidanWR]

I always love when Carl gets a troll right the first time, but fails to act and dies, then tries every other permutation before going back. Like the launchers at the end of the first level

[@bendystrawz2832]

40:31 One of the clown cars has a coin behind it, top right corner of the car. It flashes in and out, so you can still miss it even if you pause. I just barely caught a glimmer and thought it was a star at first.

[@larswijn]

Wow, it's 1 pixel that appears and disappears on the on the right of the green bar on top of the clown car. I had to go frame-by-frame to even see it. Nicely spotted!

[@bendystrawz2832]

@@larswijn I'd love to take credit for it, but honestly, it was pure luck, lol. I don't even know how it didn't just blend in with the stars and fly under the radar. I guess the coin spin frames caught my attention? Idk.

[@Telogor]

Are you sure that's not a star?

[@cQunc]

That's a star. It's synchronized with the other stars, which blink faster than the coins (which are synchronized with the question blocks). Also coins don't spin in smb1.

[@Tiagocf2]

35:55 I'm disappointed that there wasn't a POW on the end that if you hit it would take you to the HINT section lmao

[@feasible]

I think the most annoying part of BearWare's spot the difference levels is that there actually ARE differences, but they're legitimately ludicrously hard to find. (Not counting the meta ones.)

[@taylornelly2705]

Answer to Spot the Dilference 2… it was area #5 there was a coin behind the tan arrow

[@Sp4rkler3rickson]

Level Creator: "I have created the perfect troll level, completely free of cheese and softlocks." Carl: "I found both!"

[@RipleySawzen]

33:20 Protip: If it "hurts to look at" it's probably the type of flashing that can cause seizures. Other patterns that "hurt to look at" can cause seizures too. This might be the type of thing you'd put a seizure warning on.

I feel like Bearware is trying to see how many garbage levels he can get people to play before losing all his credibility and respect! 😛 On an unrelated note, I’ve been playing Snakebird with a friend of mine recently, and I feel like it’s the kind of game Carl would love to play! 🐍 Very cutesy style and really tricky and creative puzzles! I would genuinely say it’s actually my favorite puzzle game ever! (Criminally underrated game!) It has recently been released on the Switch (if that makes it any easier to play). I don’t usually interact on comments, and I don’t catch streams, but I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now! Your videos always cheer me up, and you got me into watching Mario Maker videos in general. Thank you for being so contagiously cheerful! 🎉

There is nothing better in the morning as a damn troll level played by the smartest guy on youtube. I really wish you do this more often.

At 7:30 when it says back in pipe i accidently pressed 0 on my keyboard started from the beginning the trolls are getting out of hand.

Wow, great video, Carl! You’re an awesome person when it comes to mario. You just jumped right into my heart!

[@blueeyeadonishawke2020]

This was the best level I played in a long time. 50ft lock was in my chat when I streamed this and I'm sure he was laughing his butt off. I had a slightly different version than this though. Good job, Carl

[@ARudePanda]

carl basically imitating chat at 17:38 killed me^^

[@MixturexD]

Carl is my trap queen

[@srwapo]

I like how Carl, the scientist, will go back and trigger a troll if he doges it while Geek, and engineer, will just take it as a victory and move on. Can't wait to see her play this one. Wait...

[@lukesmith6898]

Thank you for the videos as always, Carl! Have been hanging around since maybe around the great Mecha Bowzilla and these videos always make my day.

Fun fact: In the third section, the Wigglers are used to cover up the four red coins being collected. One Wiggler is in exactly the location of the red coin UI. You can see that in action at 29:33.

Bold of you to assume the rest of the year wont be even worse carl

the box with the star in the conveyor is the correct answer but not because of the star. The arrow has something behind it, I think a coin. You can see it at 40:33
