      Bonus little tidbit here for the treasure ship secret. If your score is 5 off the multiple of 11, say if you have 44 coins, but your tens score digit happens to be a 9, finish the level on an odd number of time left instead of an even number.

      When I was a kid I remember being able to jump over the flagpole in Mario 1 w/o the koopa troopa. Mario 2 once in w 1-1 where you drop the first potion I pulled up a coin from the dark world at the same time as going back thru the door and he kept pulling coins up out of the ground until you press a button. He's slightly off the ground and keeps pulling coins outta the air. If I remember right I don't think you collect the coins tho. Wow this brought back so many memories. Mario 3 : Stand on a white background block, press and hold up until you fall behind the background, and in 1-1 if you fly all the way up and to the left There's something there also. 🤘👽

    In SMB3, Level 4 of World 3 has a Lakitu spitting out Spinys that follows you throughout the level. There is an area with a pipe coming down from the sky that has a fire ball piranha plant in it. There is a floating platform of two blocks just beneath it floating in the air just above the ground and two permanent blocks on the ground on either side. There are two flying Goombas that you will want to take out. Once you do, grab a turtle shell and toss it between the blocks beneath the floating blocks making it bounce back and forth then jump on the platform and duck so as to avoid the piranha plant. If the screen is centered correctly and the timing is right, the Lakitu will spit out Spinys against the pipe in the air causing them to bounce into the area below. The turtle shell will hit the Spinys as they fall while you are safely chilling on the platform in the center. You just sit there until time runs out and you will rack up the 1ups! Sometimes you have to dodge a rogue Spiny that happens to land on the platform next to you, but otherwise you can just sit there doing nothing while getting a ton of extra lives.

    Awesome video, but, there's a trick in Super Mario Bros 1 that you missed: in world 4-2, where you spawn the vine, but instead of climbing it, walk right SLOWLY until it disappears and until just a little less than half the block is on screen; jump up onto the block the vine was on and press left; if performed correctly, you will warp onto the pipe on the right-hand side of the screen; jump over the tall pipe and then duck into the next pipe; you will now be in the above ground Warp Zone and there will be a one block gap that you can fall into and die where the vine would normally be. The only drawback to this is if you didn't go the EXACT number of pixels, you will get locked onto the block until time runs out and you lose a life.

  • @leviathanmist
    @leviathanmist Před rokem +53

    I've got four tricks to add for SMB2 that I didn't see in the video:
    You can get infinite coins in a stage with weeds next to a ledge, such as 5-1. If you go into sub-space, grab the coins, and then fall in the pit before subspace expires, it will add to your coins but it won't count as having entered subspace, so you can do it infinitely, or at least until you run out of lives, up to 255 coins before the counter wraps around.
    When you reach the second chain in 7-2, mash A while falling off the chain at the top to jump off it onto the ceiling, then you can run across the ceiling and skip half the level until you reach the room with the birdo who has the key.
    Normally if you beat every level with the same character with no warps, you'll end the game with 20 points on that character. However, if you beat the first two levels, and then get a Game Over on the third, it will still count those levels when you continue, so you can get up to 24 total if you use two continues.
    Finally, there's the trick for getting subspace music on the normal overworld. If you grab a star, enter subspace, and then leave subspace just before the star is about to expire, the subspace music will persist outside of subspace, and you can even pause the game and hear the regular Mario theme with just the background notes.

    • @bubufubu
      @bubufubu Před rokem

      The subspace coin trick for Doki Doki Mario is only relevant to players who don't mind dying. Not everyone plays that way.
      I don't believe you need to mash the A button to reach the ceiling in 7-2. As I recall, it's more a matter of proper placement and the timing of your jump.

      Yes, the infamous "suicide" code. It works in interesting ways.
      Suicide Door/Lose All Lives: when you enter a door in any level, quickly pause the game and input the suicide code (Up+A+B using the 2nd controller). Un-pause the game, and your character will fall through the door for each life remaining. The trick gets its name from the "suicide door" of some four-door sedans that posed a potential danger to passengers sitting in the back, without being buckled, while the car was in motion.
      Life Meter Glitch: in World 4-1, 4-2 or 7-1, as you pull up the Rocket, pause the game and input the suicide code. Un-pause, and then your character will shrink after emerging from the rocket. Your life meter is at zero but you're still alive for the moment. Collect one heart to refill your meter by two, and then get another to grow your player.

    Another worth mentioning for Super Mario Bros 3 is the matching games that appear for every 80,000 points, they aren't completely random and they will remain the same in-game until you finish completing the matching the next time the matching game square spawns, there are 8 different patterns the game picks between, so if you are familiar enough with their item placements you can get good enough to usually be able to accumulate everything they include. Also, the Japanese version of the game includes a 4th warp whistle you can get in 5-1 by getting to the end of the stage and then flying up to the top of the screen over the wall on the left until you hear a trigger sound, then getting to the end of the screen a glitchy item flashing between a 5up and a whistle appears, raccoon tail swipe it when it's a whistle, collect the card for the end of the level and a treasure box will appear containing the 4th whistle.

Unless somebody is specifically requesting to know where the game was made, then it's pointless. It's also redundant as the overwhelming majority of games, at least back then, were made in Japan. Calling it the "Japanese" version can also be misleading as people might mistakenly believe that the game was simultaneously developed in multiple places and give credit where it's not due. Nintendo of America had no hand in creating and developing Super Mario Bros. 3. All they did was localize it.

    In SMB2 if you have the star power and enter the dark world inside the potion door and the star power expires as the dark world vanishes you can keep listening to the SMB theme (it is a bit tricky to do this). Thanks nensondubois, your comment refreshed my memory for this one.

    There's a better place to rack up lives in SMB3. I think it's on level 3-4. There's a spot with a pipe with a fire shooting flower hanging from the ceiling with a platform underneath. You gotta progress to the point where the critter in the cloud starts chasing you. Run back past the platform, grab a koopa troopa shell, run back to the platform and release the shell. There's 2 blocks on the ground for the shell to bounce back and forth and since you're on the platform and not the ground, your point for each red-spikey shell the koopa shell takes out racks up. You just gotta be careful with your timing, otherwise that cloud dude will knock you upside the head with a shell.

    You missed one in SMB2. In 1-2, when you take the carpet from Pidget, you can descend halfway into the pit at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to move forward at twice the speed than normal. This can help you reach the top of the hill before the carpet disappears.
    Also, the trick for taking away Bowser's fire breath in SMB3, you don't actually have to land on the platform above the door, just scrolling the screen far enough to the left while on top of the brick wall is enough to trigger it.

      Hammer brother usually jumps 7 times then comes at you. I timed one just before koopa in 8-4. 7 times every time. If I'm small, I'd stay on the pipe till he got within jumping distance. I'd jump over him and head straight for koopa.

    Certain stages in SMB3 if you collect all the coins (with a margin of error of 1), will yield the white mushroom house as well that gives P-wings, Tanooki Suits, Hammer Bros. outfits, or Frog Outfits depending on world.

    I wonder how many people actually figured out how to make the coin ship appear. That is a lot of seemingly random conditions. I assume most people back then learned that secret from "Nintendo Power", but anyone who figured that out on their own deserves a prize.

    so fun trick with smb 1 is when your trying for the minus world that its been dubbed as all this time, if you scroll the screen a bit further to get to the middle pipe you will warp to world 5 instead, for the bowser trick of no fire you dont have to actually drop down to the door to get the trick of no fire BUT if you go too far you will trigger the other fight and get stuck there, keep in mind that most of these tricks are fixed in SMAS and the stay in bowser trick is fixed in the GBA version of SMB3 altho i do believe that wall jumping is still a glitch thing across the generations but the timing is slightly different, almost wish you would of showed off the wall clip in SMB3 where you can get into the wall and skip levels in world 7, smb 3 has tons of glitches and tricks to play that you bairly scratched the surface on

  • @MysticMike
    @MysticMike Před rokem +3

    Another SMB1 trick: Every worlds first level (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, ect) has a hidden 1UP. The only 2 ways that these 1UP will be available are either warp to that world or collect all the coins in the previous worlds level 3 (1-3, 2-3, 3-3, ect). For 1-1 I guess you warped there from the title screen.

  • @SeansLipSyncingSock
    @SeansLipSyncingSock Před rokem +4

    In SMB2, I liked the “shortcut” to the 3-1 mini boss: Once you’re at the top level (so not much of a shortcut), you can place mushroom blocks on the clouds to the left to create bridges to the area behind the mini boss. Nintendo Power called it “For Royalty Only,” claiming “[o]nly the Princess” could use this shortcut because of her long jump, but with the mushroom block bridges, any character could.

  • @VanillaLimeCoke
    @VanillaLimeCoke Před rokem +1

    Here's a notable one for SMB3
    The card game for each time you score 80,000
    There's 8 combos
    The last three cards of each game will always be mushroom, flower, star.
    7 out of 8 times the very first card will be one of those.
    If 1 out of 8 it is a 1-up, the mate can be found in the 2nd column last row.

      My feirnd in the 80s went out of town for the summer, a d when he returned, he had some wild stories . He said that his friend played mario 1 on nes, and that he jumped over the flag pole, and he got small with firepower.
      I didnt believe him, until about a year later, i accidentally hit Bowser while hitting the key at the same time, and when the next level started, when i hit the brick and got the mushroom, it made me small. Then i realized he wasnt lying, and i got small with firepower. He waa a good friend, honest and loyal.

    11:37 “you have to finished the level with an even number on the clock”
    Though people say this all the time, that’s not one of the conditions, it’s just that even numbers won’t change the second digit of your score since it will always be a multiple of 100. You can still get the coin ship with an odd timer if adding +/- 5 to your second digit will match the coin multiple. 22 coins with a score ending in 70 will unlock the coin ship with an odd timer. 33 coins with a score ending in 80 will work too. 44/90, 55/00… you get the picture, and technically 00 is also a multiple of 11. ;)

    I'm going to be honest I pretty much knew all these secrets. There were some details I forgot about but yeah I kind of knew all of them especially the warp zones I knew about every single one of those since I was a kid. Although the third flute which I knew existed I didn't find out where it was until way later.

    Accidentally stumbled upon your channel thanks to random youtube autoplays. Lots of mario stuff, including bootlegs romhacks and other fun things.

    Would highly recommend checking it out if you haven't seen or heard of it before. Its a pretty neat project with a rather colorful history that is still actively being tinkered with to this day since its release nearly a decade and a half ago.

  • @charlesgoff7181
    @charlesgoff7181 Před měsícem +1

    There's actually a second way to get the coin ship. You still need your coins to be a multiple of 11. But the tens digit of the score needs to be 5 away from the coins digit (11-60, 22-70, ..., 77-20, 88-30, 99-40). Finally you have to end with an ODD digit on the clock instead of EVEN. Since you get 50 points per tick left on the clock, the tens digit will flip to the correct number and you get the coin ship. This is helpful in worlds 3, 5, and 6 where there are fewer convenient coins and bricks to work with.

    In SMB 1 on level 4-2 if you hit the block with the vine but don’t go up the vine to the warp, but instead go down the 2nd smaller pipe to the right, it’ll take you back to the warp screen instead of the normal secret coin room.

    The SMB3 7-1 wrong warp. Yknow, the one that just warps you to the end of the game.
    It's tricky to pull off; you need to manipulate specific values on screen, but once you do you just skip all of Dark World and get to the final cutscene like that

    SMB 1 - You also didn't mention hold A & B with fire mario & when you land keep holding them & he will ski on one foot for about 5 seconds.
    Also when going to the 2nd warp zone in 4-2, hit the beanstalk & then inch the screen to the right carefully, As soon as the beanstalk disappears go back & grab it but hold laft, If you did it right mario will Drop to the right side of the screen. Then if you go into the first pipe You will appear in the mushroom warp zone area without the beanstalk present. Don't fall in the hole where it should be because you will die. But continue on to the warp pipes.
    SMB 2 - You can grab a vegetable when you are fighting wart, Jump behind him And you can throw it directly into his mouth without the bubbles Breaking it.
    Stage 7-1 There is a sand pit on the left where big wall is. If you sink into the sand and keep moving left eventually Mario will go under the brickwall. Keep jumping in moving left, It will take you directly to the end of the stage.
    If you Use luigi, He will often clip into the top left corner of any brick. It has saved me many times from dying But on pure accident.
    When fighting a Boss and the door opens, you can throw mushroom blocks on top of the light from the door. And you can completely surround the door with mushroom blocks.
    SMB 3 - With the P-wing in Koopas castle you can crouch on top of the statues above the doors where there is a missing block. Stand up & it will push you through into the next area skipping a bunch of obstacles. Do that a few times until you reach Bowser's door.
