The Super Mario Levels That BREAK The Game?! - Video Game Mysteries

[@GaleemDharkon]

The reason why completing minus world on the Famicom version starts hard mode: Once you beat the game regularly, you can play it in hard mode. Beating minus world tricks the game into thinking you've beaten the entire game regularly, causing the game to start in hard mode next time you play.

[@drwily]

Yeah I noticed that

Love god and love all people. 😊Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.

Oh, the 80's video game crash was much, much worse than you described. What people tend to forget is that, leading up to the NYC launch and through the first few years of the Nintendo revitalization, was the huge amount of *racism* thrown at NoA employees. Mid-to-late-80's America was massively racist towards all-things Japanese, and this was something else Nintendo had to overcome just to get their foot in the door, let along succeed.

[@Toohard315]

Havent lived the 80s tho...

[@Smaxx]

Don't forget this is also what gave us the more VCR look (and name) of the western NES compared to the Japanese Famicom system.

[@Max90X-Z]

6:26 That final glitch where when you finish -3 and replace all enemies with buzzybeetles is actually a feature that unlocks when you beat the game the first time and you can see this by just playing the game a second time.

Yep. Second quest but eh.

[@jackhumphries1087]

I think the reason that you get these specific levels when you go through the warp pipes has something to do with the fact that the default setting for where the warp zones take you is the code for the world 4-2 warp zone, and glitching into the 1-2 warp zone prevents the game from loading in the proper values for the warp destination, sending you to these strange glitch levels

[@JMFSpike]

Great video overall, just a couple of things to point out here. The video game crash only happened in North America, and saying it was due to poor quality of games is highly inaccurate. There were a few reasons for it, but the main reason is most likely that personal computers became a big deal. Basically, since computers were upgradeable, far more powerful, and could do other things in addition to just playing games, game consoles were probably thought of as obsolete. However, toys were certainly not thought of as obsolete, nor will they ever be. So when Nintendo marketed the NES as a toy, it was a brilliant move that got around the problem and worked wonders for them pretty much immediately. Also, I'm pretty sure the minus world was discovered within a couple years of SMB's release, not in the 90's.

[@Smaxx]

Except they didn't. The Famicom was renamed and redesigned as the NES, since they thought the original design felt too much like a toy and could keep western audiences from giving it a fair chance. They marketed it as a entertainment system (ha ha) for the whole family, including kids. As far as I know this even continued into the SNES era, where this might have been the reason for the recolored buttons on the US SNES controllers, since the four colors might have felt too colorful/toylike.

[@drwily]

As far as I could find it was officially discovered in the 90s aside from that I never said it was due to poor quality The reason why one version just crashes and the other doesn't is because of how data is arranged on a disc and the other on a cartridge

[@Astralpaces]

Sakurai started the phrase, “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” to the entire level of 80’s gaming.

I love this channel and I appreciate you interacting with me during you live halo stream the other day. That really made my freakin day lol

[@ivanledesma7347]

Hello, Wily. I really enjoy your videos. I do have a request of something that I would like to see you cover. It is something that I like to call the "Donkey Kong dilemma," and I call it that because Nintendo (and Rare, for a time) has been really inconsistent on the identity of Donkey Kong. Depending on which game you are playing, DK is different every time. There are times when Cranky is stated to be Donkey Kong from the arcade games, and that the current Donkey Kong is either a grown-up DK Junior or the son of DK Junior. However, there are times when it is stated that DK from the arcade is the same DK of today. It also doesn't help that Baby DK became a thing, mostly because Baby DK is more similar to the current DK than Cranky, who was young when he fought Mario, etc... Anyways, it is a convoluted mess, and while I know stuff not relating to the main Mario titles or Zelda is rarely covered, it should still be an interesting topic. I doubt we will get anywhere in regards to solving the mystery, but just talking about it might prove interesting. Please consider it, and I hope to see more of your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@drwily]

Will look into it, but it might not work as a video so no promises

[@MPE6277]

I love when he makes Mario related videos

[@Morgil27]

I've heard the FDS version of the minus world was the inspiration for world 9 in The Lost Levels. I can definitely see the similarities.

[@devonm042690]

The 'replacing all goombas with buzzy beetles' _is_ the hard mode of SMB. That's what happens if you start again after beating the game without turning off the console.

[@Toohard315]

Minus world should come back as negative zones

[@StickFiguresMaster]

In the game “New” Super Mario Bros. series, people like Andrew (Beta64) stated there was whay seemed to be worlds that looked like they were early and slow and it seemed like on uploaded videos footage out on KZbin that it may have been early presentation footage and gameplay for the press, like a meetings room talking about new ideas kind of, like a sample

[@drwily]

hnmmmmm could be interesting for a video?

@@drwily kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7caWyLr5V6abM Differences: some things not on map where you choose which stage to go to The ? boxes didn't work to give coins, mushrooms, powerup items yet The progression tab below the course choosing stage was a bit different, use of earlier icons Mario's mega mushroom allowed him to run removed though More to see in the link

[@bl0cky64]

I dont remember in what level it was in but there is a warp area that only has one warp pipie wich keads to world 5 note that this pipe is in the middle, when glitching in the 1-2 warp zone the warp zone defaults to the pipe that warps you world 5 meaning if you take the 2 other pipes since they arent assigned to a world you get warped somewhere in the code and get to world -1

[@coyoteartist]

There should be a law that requires people to point out the video game crash was only really in the US because then other KZbinrs won't look smug pointing that out. And he's European, he should know better.

[@drwily]

Wait what do you mean???

[@LEMMYBOOOOI]

Can you do a video about the blue bowser of bowsers brother or a bowser clone thats blue but doesn;’t turn into a enemy when defeated with the flower that i think is in lost levels

[@drwily]

Uhhh yeah I will look into it, sounds a bit vague though

[@myriamecean4773]

Why is the game glitching out?

[@drwily]

It's because of the difference between how the data Is arranged on a disc compared to a cartridge On the disc version we were in luck that the glitched state of the game was able to create something that was playable while this wasn't the case on the cartridge version
