The random donation on the last attempt really adds to the overall ethereal nature of the run

[@Schimnesthai]

Its funny because Simple started an stream by accident a week ago, and 3 donations slipped on his Mario Maker attempt and he said "i shouldn't be streaming bye" or something like that. I felt like adding Simple's laugh into a video but idk

The long awaited return of the dawnfinder pacman meme. I swear that meme has completely reprogrammed my brain to the point where I can't even think of the word "dawn" without experiencing the anxiety, excitement, and sweet release of pacman sprinting right at me.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

The level was so hard 😅

[@ML_Lui_G]

Man Simple, I really have to say that it's great to have you back. From what it seems like over the past bit, that recharge has really reflected in the life you put into your content. The MM, Trackmania, and TTT have all been excellent!

i know that simple saying stuff like "i get this next try" is generally just a good comedy setup for either getting it or not getting it next try, but i really do omega respect the deeper psychology behind that kind of inwardly motivational message. even with small stuff like smm1 midairs, seeing your nonstop effort towards lasting self-improvement has always been real inspiring mr flips. ✌️❤

I wish to believe the best of matt came out when simple asked him to explain why it is unclear in a song format after 2 hours of copyrighted songs. It is a normal mistake tho I think pretty much every youtuber records a video without audio, without recording or even without existing, so thanks dad for the 37 minutes.

guys if you look at the first 2 frames of this video you may notice that Mario is being carried away by goombas. Where are they taking him? Why is Simple trying to hide this? Who is he playing as, if not mario?

you mentioned the high time between attempts at some point in the video, which I wanna say is exactly why I never got into Mario Maker. the time it takes to die and respawn is way too high for some of these impossible levels.

[@teddydietrich586]

honestly as a normal / occasional expert level enjoyer, I feel like 100 mario being replaced by endless was the only change I really hated in a game I otherwise enjoyed far more. the lack of that feeling of victory in endless sucks so bad and unlockies really reminds me of that

[@MrBonethrower]

Simple playing copyrighted music through his mic for 2 hours without realizing it, and Nolan getting passively aggressively upset with him, is a classic move and is actually why i sub. Well, that and simple is just so darned cute.

[@commandcrasher]

everyday simple is getting more insane than ever, love it.

[@Fredwood3000]

This might just be me, but Nolan seems to look healthier than the last time he made an appearance.

It's videos like these that serve as a great reminder to why "people who make Mario Maker levels" is on the enemies' list twice.

19:56 I was thinking: is there an invisible block there? If there is, why? It would just cunk you if you hit it so who would go for that? Man named Simpleflips: 19:59

[@luckyluc2697]

The ending nearly reminds me of that one walkies episode where he just got up and left after not winning, and the editors had to end it

Is it just me or does Simple look extra handsome today?

[@dracnornossai5173]

1:13 nice reference to the proffesor himself

[@ashen_roses]

Really gets me how a whole run can end bc of a shell jump level burning all of your lives. An automatic "stop rooting for success and watching hopefully until this is over" notification

[@SimpleFlips]

I think I look at the journey much different than you lol

[@ashen_roses]

@@SimpleFlips true enough- it just feels different to watch a lot of the time

[@ashen_roses]

It's not even a skill issue but like. I like ones that are competitive and it gets halted going in seeing lives immediately drain and a level of pessimism displayed bc they're SO finicky and based around statistically unlikely tricks- things I don't blame on you. Though I do wish you allowed yourself to skip these after a good number of tries 😅

[@SimpleFlips]

Being able to skip would make all of the stakes non existent and I wouldn't have any fun. I don't need to be entitled to win and I only really feel satisfied after earning a win, not seeking the easiest win. I genuinely approach super expert with a level of uncertainty and not a firm confidence that I'm able to beat the challenge. For me that's the only reason to do something like this lol

[@ashen_roses]

That's fair

[@aabattery5]

In Super Mario 64, the "half A press" refers to a technique used to perform certain actions (such as swimming or jumping) without fully pressing the A button on the controller. Normally, when you press the A button, Mario will jump. But, if you only partially press the button, Mario will perform a shorter jump, which is useful for certain tasks. This is known as the "half A press." This technique is used extensively in speedrunning Super Mario 64 to perform precise movements and glitches to beat the game faster.

[@thefireofthefox1]

9:39 that was actually fire

[@yohik]

I would love to watch Simple play through one of those nightmarish ice TrackMania tracks that take multiple hours. Same energy as watching him slam his head into a Mario Maker level and I imagine would be funny as hell.

[@clay112]

The cantankerous downfall at the end was a disasterous death leading to a climax fakeout tricking the viewer, playing with their senses, trully masterful storytelling goes on here at simpleflips. The script writers are blessed withe unaturaly amazing abilitys to spin a story like no other. Bravo. And again bruhvo

the fact that at 12:46, he runs out of invincibility just to stick the landing is so hypw

[@RougeMephilesClone]

That... Really did live up to the tragedy promised. I thought a couple of the deaths might have been it since the spiked flagpole trick was elsewhere, so even when I saw the real thing, I wasn't sure. It felt like the last attempt was going to be Simple losing at the beginning of the level, but it went exactly like you'd picture it in your head. Terrible. Awful. Perfect.
