[@polariapoyon748]

The "Qberts" are from fantasy zone! Glad you loved my hack, I enjoy making them.

[@s00pcan]

Feels like throwing coins should cost coins

[@ChrisMMaster0]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@Nob1ej0n]

Same

[@kosmicspeedruns]

haha, that would be awesome

[@DoggoNo]

no no no they're cardboard coins with fire balls behind them

[@zicraftian]

This is probably one of the best smb1 rom hacks I've seen

[@russelllukenbill]

Instructios unclear: I am currently standing in my kitchen in a Mario Costume covered in peanut butter and celery.

[@whazzup_teacup]

Just wait and maybe your princess takes care of your nutbutter eventually.

[@codahighland]

"Salary", not "celery"!

[@ExpiredIDK]

​@@codahighland they both rhyme ok

[@russelllukenbill]

@@codahighland Ohhhh...

[@klaatoris]

@@codahighland Also, how would he be covered in salary? You'd need to earn a fortune for that.

[@rjob15]

Pretty sure the "you earned a bonus" ending was a reference to takeshi's challenge, another game, the toad looked like the boss from that game

[@PierceArner]

There are so many little improvements like those slippery ropes that really help to showcase how much of a difference thoughtful level and game design makes.

[@Michael-hs5vg]

You’re the Bob Ross of SMB playthrough.

[@nobodyknowsforsure]

Ninji after years of being treated obscurely finally lost it. He murdered lakitu, stole his cloud and to this day rains flaming hatred onto his enemies 😆

[@sarysa]

This is honestly award worthy. Well done, creator.

[@bes03c]

The rare hack with both innovative mechanics AND level design tailored to the updated mechanics.

[@staudinga]

Omg, you didn't kick a single shell against the Lakitu fire balls!

[@3rdalbum]

The free-moving firebars are awesome. I think trying to outrun them is a legit strategy.

[@KernelLeak]

Up next: Gig Economy Mario, where every world is just 1 level long, but you have to play 5 in a row to break even...

[@LotoTheHero]

Wow, a normal rom hack! Not one for "advanced" players, and not a "puzzle" rom hack! This one was really pleasant to watch, and I didn't have any 2nd hand anxiety from watching this one. 😉

[@DouglasZwick]

Two things: - the castle wall and bridge tiles are from _Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap_ for the Sega Master System - the underground music is a remix of the melody of the underground music from _Super Mario Bros. 2_

[@nakano15]

Seems more like a demix of the smb2 underground music.

[@DouglasZwick]

@@nakano15 A same-medium demix? Interesting notion. But anyway, you’ll note I said it’s a remix of just the _melody_

[@tigheklory]

Those QBerts are actually from Fantasy Zone, a great Sega Shooter.

[@epicbro2222]

6:29 I dunno, that enemy reminded me of Beanie from Mario and Luigi: Superstar saga game which is about Beanbean Kingdom.

[@mikeprado30]

Those alive firebars did remind my parents going after me when I did childhood mischiefs 😅

[@googlesucks1]

Looking forward to the salary man mario cinematic universe.

[@warsb06]

I would really like to see a freerun of 4-4, that would be so cool because fire bar "skips" should be a lot easier due to them moving

[@Meshamu]

Those free-floating fire-coin-bars were pretty scary. Reminiscent of the feeling I get from the stix in Qix.

[@craigmcshannon3806]

Wow what a well done hack, props to the creator and Kosmic of course

[@ultramaster2o1studios53]

That green Q*Bert looking dude is actually from the arcade game Fantasy Zone

[@thedillestweed2644]

I thought I recognized it. Yeah when chat just spitting out Q*bert, I was like "you gotta be killing me"

[@Ryusuta]

Romhack Wednesdays returns! This always makes my week.

[@trayson]

New Mario Enemy N.M.E New Mario N.M.E.

[@nugboy420]

Those coin bars sick.

[@MajeureX]

The ability to turn while in the air is called 'pivoting' in business speak - an important trait in any aspiring manager.

[@trik0me]

Another quality hack from Polaira Poyon! Lots of fun little things in there

[@Spongeyknight6491]

I love how the metroid came out of nowhere

[@rolen47]

Mario's boss is Salaryman from Takeshi no Chousenjou.

[@silvertomahawk67]

Round frogge

[@louisng114]

Image if the ending says "YOU HAVE EARNED A BONUS... WORLD!"

[@TheCasualMark]

The “toads” At the end of the level are sprites from Takeshi’s Challenge. What a wild game that is…

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I love the Goombas with their gangster hats.

[@nicholas3354]

It's not Q-Bert. Q-Bert's nose/mouth is a tube, kinda like Gonzo, but it's both his nose and mouth, and it's open at the end like a tube, and not curved down.

[@Kurachi84]

15:01 A lesson learned too late! XD Well, glad Mario can eat again, as he saved his boss from the anti-worker Bowser!

[@stapler942]

Love the lava in the castle levels, it looks like a pool of wine. 😝

[@Nob1ej0n]

The Baby doesn't care much for Mr. M. 😆

[@nakano15]

The overworld theme seems like that theme music from caribean pirates movie.

[@Ravlen1]

In Japanese salaryman culture, earning a bonus is a major goal. Not talking about the game, talking about real life. So that's the joke at the end of the world.

[@blango-san]

12:57 this is priceless🤣🤣🤣

[@billybandit]

The flying fish I'm pretty sure are from Alex Kidd in Miracle World (also the spikes?) - also the cobbled stone floor texture

[@MusicalMinerdude]

> sees random Fantasy Zone enemy ok lol

[@nicholas3354]

That thing looks alot like a "sneeze" from Puff The Magic Dragon, but not the same. It also looks like Crowander's mascot, but not the same. I think I do recognize it, but I cannot think of what it's from (probably a video game, I suppose).

[@bairnonessie]

15:23 magic hammer

[@JakeRazorClawson]

Nice hack, mario must be really wealthy from those bonuses if he can afford to use coins as fire power 💸 The q*bert and metroid sprite were also very fun to see.

[@ddscave]

i remember i made a firebar and rotodisk like that before (on smbx)

[@staudinga]

03:12 A metaphor about the consequences of greed

[@spacecomplex7180]

I'm seeing sprites ripped from Wonderboy in Monsterland as well.

[@Classic236]

So Mario is gonna pay his taxes? Idk

[@chrisfrankmeyer]

Pretty cool wonder flower in 4-4

[@morchela]

Those permanent flames thrown by "Ninjakitu" actually appear in the Level Headed random. They're pretty annoying.

[@declanhughes4107]

Hey the underground theme is a remix of the smb2 underground theme

[@koi_sakana]

I just realized the cloud and bushes aren’t the same

[@staudinga]

19:10 what a twist!

[@stapler942]

The music kind of makes me think of one part of the Pirates of the Carribean theme skipping on a CD.

[@Kosmicd12]

Yeah I definitely thought it was going to be Pirates when i first heard it haha

[@DigiEggz]

That enemy sprite didn't look quite like Q*bert. Makes me wonder where it's truly from.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Hey, I think those snakes are from "Golvelius". 😁

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Actually, a LOT of the sprites are from Golvellius. 💪😎✌️

[@bgbd182]

Super Mario Stonks

[@krippydepperi8636]

@Kosmic_Speedrun they are not from qbert, they are from fantasy land

[@Mwrp86]

Nah, unless I'm up for some guessing game on which block to jump and which to avoid, that doesn't really feel like a proper romhack to me.

[@cold_warrior]

Polaria hacks are hype

[@StereoMadnessss]

Fire bars shouldn’t be living objects

[@krukd1mka]

Can you kill a fire with a kupa shell?

[@SMWssaamm]

Nice URL..."JumB0"

[@whazzup_teacup]

7:23 I thought SMB1 was a "solved" game by now. More importantly it's the one who supposedly knows everything in SMB1&2J that's asking.

[@kornsuwin]

hi

[@magnuslord]

You died in 1-1?

[@Aghyad.96]
