What if Jolly Roger Bay Had No Water in Super Mario 64?

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

I love how this shows there's not really any "water" effects in the level. They just painted it to look that way and they hide the transition with a slightlyqqq transparent texture

[@ManoredRed]

A lot of games do that with shadows, when the light source is fixed.

[@ericraycarta1111]

Bud, it's a video game 🤣 they're all textures it's obviously not real water

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

​@@ericraycarta1111 That's not what I was saying, I suggest practicing your reading comprehension. I never said it was "real water," but water effects have come along way and are more complicated than just being "textures" - with this being an effective but simplistic exception. I was admiring the fact the video exposes the technique they used to fake an effect that was considered costly and difficult in 3D. There's a reason Quake on Software didn't have the transparent water and distorted lens effects its hardware accelerated peers did.

[@coldstuff9784]

I played this game a lot as a kid and never knew you could interact with it at all.

[@Robbie_Haruna]

"There's many levels in Super Mario 64 that are water-based levels." You mean Jolly Roger Bay, Dire Dire Docks and Wet Dry World? (The latter would be redundant to drain since that's a base function of the level.)

[@Gamebuilder2000]

Well to be fair there's only one Desert, Only one Clock, only one Haunted Mansion, only one Giant Cave, only one Fortress, only one Size shifting Island, only one Battlefield on open plains, Two Lava Levels, Two Wildly different Snow Levels, and Four seperate Water Bound Ventures

[@Robbie_Haruna]

@@Gamebuilder2000 It having "only one" of many different tropes doesn't mean hell of a lot when there's only like 15 proper levels. The ones that duplicate tropes are usually where the problem lies anyway, Dire Dire Docks as an example is a second water level, but sucks hard compared to Jolly Roger Bay. While Wet Dry World has the unique gimmick of being able to drain the water. Not sure what this fourth Water Level you're talking about is, but the secret aquarium secret star hardly counts as a proper level (if we count those then the Sky theme is mad overused too, thanks to the Wing Cap, Mario over the rainbow and Rainbow Ride. Bob-omb battlefield is the first of many levels that focus around a montain or tower of some sort you have to climb up or go down, which is the most overused trope in Super Mario 64. Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortress, Cool Cool Mountain, Tall Tall Mountain and Tiny Huge Island (albiet the last one has a twist in its unique gimmick.) Two different Snow levels is another that doesn't really feel very warranted when all the creative ideas are put into the second one and the first is just another Mountain.

[@ilovethelegend]

@@Robbie_Haruna I mean. Snowman's land is pretty centered around the giant snowman in the middle. Anyway, while I hadn't actually noticed the consistent mountain/tower design, his point still stands where three out of the fifteen main levels are specifically water levels, where other themes (Grassland, Volcano, Winter, Haunted) are two-offs at most. A fifth of all main levels are water levels. The same cannot be said for anything other theme.

[@Robbie_Haruna]

​@@ilovethelegend Grassland has the most though. -2 Snow Levels -1 Lava level (2 if we count Bowser in the Fire Sea) -1 Cave level -1 Desert level -1 Mechanical level -1 Sky level (2 if we count Mario over the rainbow.) -1 Haunted level -Grass gets Bob Omb, Whomp's and Tiny Huge, (Tall Tall mountain vaguely falls under the same category, since despite having no real grass, every single one of those grass stages is a mountain based stage too.) "A fifth" of the stages doesn't mean much when there's only 15 stages and one of those three water levels revolves around draining the water, (look at the star list for Wet Dry World for example, only like one of them requires the water to be filled, but four of them require the water to be drained completely for completion.)

Somewhere, very far away... a wise man named Noackk would say: I have no f*cking water? I HAVE NO WATER!?

[@josiahschiewe9618]

It's actually possible to remove the water in the DS version without any hacks. You have to select the first star so that the ship is still sunk for this to work. Take Wario [or another character wearing Wario's cap] into the sunken cave and grab a metal flower, then run down the tunnel to the ship. Run across the deck of the ship and try to run up the bowsprit as far as possible. If you go far enough, the water will disappear half a second before your metal power runs out. If you climb back up the tunnel, the water comes back. I know this sounds like I'm making this up, but it's true. I've done it many times. Of course, I was never able to climb out of the abyss to see the rest of the level... I'll have to try that jump kick now!

Something has always bothered me about the eel while its in the sunken ship state. It's the fact that there's no footage whatsoever of the eel coming out of the ship. You swim all the way down there to greet it and it never comes out. You swim all the way up and back only to see it swimming around, but never see the actual animation of it swimming out of the ship itself. Like does it do a roar like it does when it's in the hole in the wall or does he teleport out the ship in swimming state? This always bothered me and I wish someone would upload what the eel does when its swimming out of the ship.
