The Most Convoluted Mario Hack

This is Kamikaze Mario DX+, and it has to be the most wild ride in terms of Super Mario Bros. romhacks. Lots of crazy puzzles, lots of crazy platforming, and lots of head scratching.

BY accident, ON purpose. Not "ON accident..." Does that mean you did something "BY purpose?" Come on dude, English is the only language you speak. Read a book.

I really love how that mushroom that makes you float plays Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger. I love that song so much.

[@lukahmad5683]

Ah yes! that's it. I was like "I heard this decades ago, what's that" lol

[@infinitelybanta]

Jeez, I was yelling at the screen the whole time in ?-7 “go sit on the axe until 10 seconds are left!” Oldest trick in the book! Sometimes I wonder if you’ve ever even played Mario before, Kosmic ;)

[@Kosmicd12]

laughed out loud

[@neilt82]

Yeah, that whole thing with the axe was pure facepalm. Wtf? 🤦‍♂️

[@ShimmeringSpectrum]

That cut at 25:08 that kept the music flowing perfectly made me do a double take. Well done to your editor.

29:28 This looks like the warp zone screen - a message and three numbers for the three vanilla warp pipes. I wonder if you'd warp somewhere different if you grab the ORB when Mario's position is above the left, middle, or right number.

[@KangasKong9944]

True! Didn’t notice that until this comment!

[@eriks2962]

Definitely the best part of rim hack Wednesday is Kosmic understanding the game engine better than the rom hack dev and getting confused because of it.

[@maxvilocity]

Just finished re-watching every single romhack wednesday, absolutely ready for another!

KZbin randomly started recommending your videos. Now I’m subscribed. Love SMB 1 and these random hacks.

[@WrathofDash]

The shading on the blocks in 1-4 that you fall through goes up all the way to the top of the right side of the blocks, whereas the ones that are solid it stops about halfway up the right side.

[@glenchilders9278]

4:00 Is that Chrono Trigger music? ... nice.

[@LeoStaley]

OK good Im not the only one who noticed.

[@morchela]

15:30 Actually there were people that called the support number thinking that the level was broken

[@PronatorTendon]

Dude this is my favorite Mario game series on KZbin, tons of variety in a simple game

[@Hadaron]

Is your username in greek with a few english letters? If so, it’s pronounced Rgoeatog teédoe and I’ve spent a few minutes just staring at it in confusion. That tangent aside, agreed, love Romhack Wednesdays

[@phillernst9748]

@@Hadaron 😆Yeah it reads as "Pronator Tendon", which is a body part located in the forearm. I can't begin to imagine why they chose Pronator Tendon except "it's the internet" 🤷🤣 That being said, I'm down for Rgoeatog teédoe too lol

Invisible blocks have textures flipped 90*

[@stevekitchens65]

Anybody else notice that the Mario swimming in air music was Chrono Trigger Zeal theme from the SNES?

[@LeoStaley]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

[@lisab.1016]

12:15 now that I'm watching this I can see that I joined the stream exactly as Kosmic entered *THAT* room in 2-1

[@-Keith-]

The false blocks have an extra dark pixel at the top of them within the lighter area. Real blocks have one at the lower left, fake ones have one at the upper right.

[@Kosmicd12]

They're rotated 90 degrees

[@-Keith-]

@@Kosmicd12 Had to look closer, we're both wrong lol. They're not really rotated, they're mirrored along the diagonal axis. It's an imperfect mirror though, like someone tried to manually place the pixels in mspaint. What threw me off was that the two light grey pixels on the right-middle of the regular graphic weren't flipped properly, only one was flipped while the other one stayed where it was. So there's one square of light grey and one rectangle of light grey inside the dark area in the normal graphic, but one big square and two small squares of light grey in the mirrored one.

[@ArynBendah]

I used to make my own SMB1 levels in notebooks when I was a bab. Missile Matt isn't too far off from what I used to name a fictional missile enemy.

[@Lady_Lilith666]

Always cool to see original Super Mario hacks. IDK why it's not popular on a romhacking scene...

[@LeoStaley]

I always wondered why there was never a flying power up that was just swimming in a normal level. Glad to finally see one.

[@ExNihiloComesNothing]

Love the Chrono Trigger music when you are swim flying

I can’t believe that hacks were being made in 2003 :0

[@MuffledSword]

ROM hacking was gaining popularity around this time. Super Demo World: The Legend Continues was released in 2003.

When you grab the swimming in air mushroom, the music is an 8bit rendition of Zeal's music, from Chrono Trigger...

if anyone is curious, the character on the ?-blocks means god (but not like *the* god, just any old god), and they just say Kami

[@lukahmad5683]

These hacks are sometimes are so complex. I can't even think how their brain works sometimes. They're living in the year 3000.

[@EebstertheGreat]

How are you supposed to figure out the final puzzle? Were you just supposed to be confused and frustrated until you sat at the fake flagpole depressed?

[@infinitelybanta]

Heh, and even if you got to that, I might sooner figure to stay on it until time runs out rather than getting off it with ten seconds left. It should at least give you the power up sound prior to jumping off it, but it looks like nothing happens until you’re off it already. Actually on second thought I wonder if it’s just a certain amount of time you need to be on the axe rather than exiting at a certain time.

[@Kosmicd12]

you're supposed to read the creators website.... or something. Really no idea honestly. You can maybe infer the axe does something but who is going to sit there for that long, and sometimes it doesn't even work. No way you sit on it for 300 seconds, it doesn't work, and then you go "oh maybe I just did it wrong" and try again rofl

[@EebstertheGreat]

@@Kosmicd12 This hack creator was traumatized by the mustache in Gabriel Knight 3.

[@lukahmad5683]

Isn't great if someone made a SMB3 romhack about Mario coming from Earth to the alternate Mushroom Kingdom but everything is opposite. Princess Peach is like Elizabeth Bathory, the blood thirsty serial killer, all toads are like koopas. The final boss is blood thirsty Princess Peach replacing Bowser. Bowser is the one who was imprisoned but he left some powerups hidden in some blocks along the way when he was kidnapped. Powerups is like Bowser fire but faster. The theme is more like Zelda themed. The would be awesome xD

[@quadpad_music]

Does anyone know where the underground music is from? It sounds... oddly familiar.

[@Mosk915]

If you got +30s that made you go from under 100s to over, would the music slow down?

[@Kosmicd12]

it stayed the same. We did test to see if we could speed it up multiple times, haha

[@edgardeitz5746]

It almost looks like you're going through the same areas this game that you went through in "Super Mario Land 1".

[@SuussyBakka]

What’s the music you play when you encounter movie SMB1 cutscene glitch worlds?

Is that an 8-bit Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger when you get the swimming mushroom?

[@Acts19quiz]

There's also a SMB3 hack called Kamakazi Bros. I wonder if it was inspired by this hack. I liked the angel halo for dying Mario.

[@TheHackysack]

That was definitely something.

[@meta04]

1:29 ...see, actually it's just the "kami" part...

[@TheTedder]

The question mark blocks simply say kami on them, not kamikaze.
