There's something endearing about 80s Mario, back when he was meant to be a character Nintendo could put into any situation. I suppose that's why there are so many Mario spinoffs, and I suppose turning Doki Doki Panic into a Mario game fits that mindset too.

The concept of All Night Nippon is actually insane when you think about it. Like imagine Nintendo nowadays releasing a ROM hack of Super Mario Odyssey themed around Joe Rogan

14:04 Slight correction here, Mario Bros. Returns was the last Mario game published on the Famicom Disk System, not the Famicom as a whole.

I remember playing "Mario & Wario" as a kid. Loved that stretegic puzzle game and can't understand how that game was not released over seas (?) It was so good. Or "Dr. Mario 64" never went released in Europe despite puzzle games always have been well recieved there.

15:20 From 1998 to 1989. That's some impressive time travel for a Nintendo contest.

I find it interesting looking at some of this old art or costumes of characters like Mario and Bowser and how much they varied since the design for the characters had not yet been cemented.

46:52 Mario is literally on the box art.

Imagine if Nintendo remade Super Mario Bros Special as part of the Super Mario Advance series. People would’ve been thinking it was an original game until the internet became more used

35:00 - Sylvanian Families is quite popular in Japan, being created by Epoch, the same toy company which brought us the Barcode Battler which itself had ties to a dozen or so Super Famicom games. Sadly none of these games involve Super Mario, but a set of Super Mario World cards were released for the Barcode Battler II. Nintendo and Epoch had a good relationship in the 1990s.

The story for Punchball Mario perfectly sums up the entire Mario series. Each game just begs the question, will these two ever learn about sophisticated culture?

30:19 is the ONLY time we get to see Peach's father at all.

some of those Japan exclusive memorabilia are insane. i wish Nin still had contests like those today

There is a reason why the Game and Watch Gallery games had Mario's Cement Factory changed to Mario's Cookie Factory in the Mario themed revisions of those classic G&W games. They all related back to Yoshi loving Cookies almost as much as the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.

The knitting experience is throwing me. Even before the times of cell phones and modern computers people could see the need to have this information present in more ways than just books. And it's actually pretty sophisticated for it being on the Famicon.

so everytime I hear about the Satellaview I think how it's timed and episodic format could work for our modern gaming landscape. like did anyone else enjoy 1vs100 on Xbox? it was so fun to join a weekly game like that.

1:56 Technically we did get this version, since the 3D All-Stars port was based on it.

I love the new format the channel was reinvented into so much! Thank you for all the work you put in your videos!

would be awesome if Nintendo could release a History of Mario Compilation with some, if not all these games...but alas that prob won't happen

Just got to say, I'm LOVING the more long-form content!

9:53 this sounds like an ai going on a weird ramble about human culture and history, breaking then turning in to Mario

That sweater-knitting software should make a comeback. Imagine just how popular that would be nowadays.

15:22 Weird that a promotions goes back 11 years Pretty wild being able to travel to 1989 in 1998 to take advantage of the promotion there

At 27:30 the woman makes the same exact gesture than Koizumi does on Directs lmaooo

Super Mario 64 Shindo version was released in America, As a part of the 3D All Stars collection .

Well, that clears the mystery of the Mario with the bucket on his head, so many years wondering the meaning of that line in Pokemon

The way he says Yoshi, damn it, lol.

“Mario & Wario” is really worth picking up if you’ve never tried it. Like the man says, it’s all in English, so there’s no language barrier. It’s also pretty cheap, and you’ve got a few options for getting it to run on a North American SNES. If you’d rather go the emulation route, ZSNES (and probably other emulators) has mouse support. I really wish Nintendo would just add the mouse games to NSO. The Switch dock already has USB ports, all it would take is a software update to get it to work with off-the-shelf mice.

Happy Birthday to Charles Martinet! 😊

Punchball Mario Bros' plot sounds like Kojima's first draft of death stranding. It is one sentence away from pontificating on the most significant of humanity's tools, the rope (strand).

I think Mario and Wario inspired the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games from 2 and onward, where the Mini Marios must be guided through a stage. I'd have preferred if they made a Mario & Wario series instead for that type of gameplay, and kept Mario vs. Donkey Kong with the gameplay of the GB and GBA games.

This video is phenomenal! I’m really excited for this new format going forward. I’ve been watching since 2014, and I’m glad to see the channel still going strong.

Absolutely going to be that person for a minute: at 3:24, when you showed that clip from "I Am a Teacher: Teami no Kiso" and said, "which actually teaches players how to knit", you showed an image of a crochet tutorial. Crochet is done with one hook, knitting is done with two or more needles.

6:40 they can't keep getting away with it

As a long time Mario fan and someone who’s spent years on the Mario wiki, how’d I never know some of these games?!

Happy birthday to Charles Martinet!! You give iconic voices for many beloved characters!

“This one actually shows you how to knit” Proceeds to show us crocheting 😅😂😂

".. with the promotion running from November of 1998 to May 1989." Man, I know Nintendo likes to innovate, but having to figure out time travel to participate in a contest seems a bit too far.

This is awesome, it’s like a 50 minute episode of Region Locked. Keep up the good work DYKG

Nintendo:Here's some remixed versions of old games Satellaview subscribers:We're paying subscription fees for this? Game historians:*Fascinating*

There was a bootleg of those first two Famicom computer games on AOL Shareware! I played them on an old Geoworks DOS PC when I was four.

15:21 - I'm a little confused at this part. Here, it's said that the promotion ran from November 1998 to May 1989. Was this supposed to say May of 1998 to November of 1998?

15:18 "With the promotion running from (...) 1998 to (...) 1989" That makes sense to me...

Ok it is mind-blowing that some of these entries are ones most have never heard of before. Well done once again

Unless there's a cross-language pun (since "kame" means "turtle" and can change pronunciation to "game" in compounds), it's just the English words "Same Game", not サメガメ, as that is the name of the game where you select a group of contiguous same-color blocks to be removed.

I have a very weird fascination with Super Mario Bros. Special. It does a lot of unique things with the tilesets and level design that you don't get in the NES/FDS games. It made me greatly appreciate the creativity at hand and made me look forward to all the efforts that went into bringing Special into various other formats that are more capable of running a platformer: the NES conversions, Super Mario Bros. Crossover, Mari0, and even Super Mario Maker. A thing about the scrolling: If you look at footage of the PC-88 version of Super Mario Bros. Special running on original hardware, it loads in the next screen, tile by tile, from the left to the right, before spawning you and the other entities. Most emulators don't replicate this and simply fade the entire screen to black.

It's a cool day when DidYouKnowGaming uploads content that is for sure.

15:23 it's amazing that the promotion ran across the time flow in reverse

49:32 "a thing of the past" pff, tell that to Buddy Mission Bond on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo still hasn't localized that.

41:05 Finally, Yamauchi's proto-Mii

59:58 Wow, that's extremely similar to what happened with Sega about 5 years before. The Japanese really don't like any ideas coming from Americans apparently. It's there way or the highway. If only different countries could learn to work together for the greater good, imagine all the truly amazing things that we could see happen.

15:19 You said the premutation ran from November 1998 to May 1989. Was this a simple mistake, or was there time travel involved?

God this makes me want to binge region locked again for the 1000th time I'm not kidding, that's how I found the channel and instantly subbed please keep doing videos like this and all the other well researched content you put out!

Missed opportunity for Nintendo to not reboot the Mario artist series for Wii U when they had the chance...

There are so many titles available just in Japan, like the Nintendo Power I found that concept very interesting. Another game that I also found interesting is mobile golf which you gotta use use the mobile adapter gb

The lore for that Power Ball game was really something. Mario and Luigi are so unsophisticated!

As someone who only recently got into Picross, I’m sad that there was one that we didn’t get ☹️

45:20 Wait. So if Yoshi's cookie has never been brought over to the west in any way what / how were Arin and Dan playing on game grumps all those years back?

Definitely love the direction the channel is taking!!

"Mom, Can I have Super Mario World?" - "We have Mario World at home." Mario World at home: 0:05

@12:46 I didn't realize Jubilee was such a big gamer!

Some pretty interesting stuff there, I think the Mario Excitebike is pretty cool but a lot of that stuff isn’t really that interesting to me, alternate levels to the games we did get would be pretty cool though

I could listen to video game facts for hours.

It's always weird to see games that are fully (or nearly) in English when it's meant only for the Japanese region.

As a game designer looking at that knitting game, just so much work into making a game nobody played astonishes me.

Wait, we live in a timeline with two Mario knitting games, AND and Mario excite bike game?? Nice.

Holy cow, an add-on that let's you program games directly onto the famicon hardware? Dude, if they had released that in the US for the NES, I would have used that without ever stopping! I would have learned how to program and debug before I was even ten years old; that would have COMPLETELY changed my life and career!

28:15 what song is this bro it's stuck in my head

I really wish Nintendo would have ported that Excitebike Satellaview game to anything else. I guess that one course in Mario Kart 8 is as close as we'll ever get.

Holy crap! i remember those Nagatanien Mario ochazuke/furikake packs from the mid-80's. They're actually pretty tasty. (i still buy that company's chazuke products today)

Edited from my original comment: The song featured at 28:07 is Sumire September Love by SHAZNA.

3:25 This is interesting because I believe this is crochet and not knitting, which begs the question of did they just include crochet for the hell of it?

15:18 "The promotion running from November of 1998 to May 1989" The promotion somehow went back in time! I thought I heard that wrong so I went back to listen to it again and I did hear right! Dude you slipped up, I think you meant it ran until 1999! 🤣 You're awesome!

I remember a weird Japan only Mario 2 continuation that I found while browsing the Mario wiki

Funny thing one of the first games being a knitting game, being that programming itself began with knitting machines.

I would love for you to talk about some the other Japan only Nintendo games that we never got.

15:20 - That date range doesn't sound correct? 1998 - 1989? Assuming this is just a mis-reading of the script

I'm surprised at the fact you guys never did a video in any witcher game.

5:45 I never knew there were words to that song.

Some of these Mario games look like so much fun. I love the creation tools in some of the games! Your production values are fantastic as well. I've been watching the channel for a long time. Keep it up and great job to everyone at DYKG!

the fact that the satellaview even existed is fucking insane. it's like a precursor to live service games.

15:31 That's not an ad for the Super Mario Bros. 3 game. It's an ad for Super Mario Bros. 3 furikake (a kind of topping that is sprinkled on rice).

I get why a Majhong Mario would be not released... But Mario Party with Square Enix characters sound something that would sell....

I actually got to play BS Mario USA on the Famicom when i was in Japan, and its kinda difficult, You need to find all 3 Mario Statues, 4 or 5 if its a boss besides Birdo. And everytimes a random character talks, something changes, Like Birdo can summon flying birdos, or an egg rain, Green birdo is the same, Sometimes blackouts happen that makes everything black besides the player and enemy, Sadly, there are No music, and there is also no sounds from the talking from other characters, Also another part about BS Mario USA is that it Randomly swaps your character overtime, I mostly got Toadstool, and Mario. Rarely Luigi or Toad. And they ripped some of Super Mario World's sound for the sound effects of BS Mario USA, You also can collect Mario Statues, (like the one that appears once you boot up the game with st. GiGi.) Once you start the game, Random pictures appear, like Birdo and Mouser, and the Japanese translation is "We, the Super-Birdos!" and the 2nd picture is where it has Red Birdo, Tryclyde, and Birdo. and it says "Tryclyde Suprises, Secrets of the Quicksand." and the third one is where it shows Red Birdo on a whale with Fryguy and it says "Fryguy at the sea of Ice" And the Power challenge is where they give the winner with highest points a real golden mario statue, And no, Not the amiibo. And i know i didn't mention Satellaview. I also Played Kaettekita Mario Bros. Some things are like if you lose all your lives you go to a Spinning slots, I randomly got Luigi, Mario, Luigi in the slots and then a shellcreeper died, and you can also turn to a different angle when you jump unlike how Mario Bros.(1983) (and yet, stop being confused with Super Mario Bros. 1985, We get it, they have similar names.) is, and i dont know why but shellcreepers look a bit more hunched over than how the NES version of Mario Bros. (1983) looked. and, well there isnt really much the explain it. Plus, I don't even understand what you mean that Tetris Attack was only for Japan, We had it for the SNES.

From November of 1998 to May of 1989? Time traveling ads, what will they think of next...

@21:51 I was sitting here the entire time being like why the heck does that background music sound like Pokémon. Then bam you explain it. Love these videos

490k sold for Mario & Wario in Japan would be very solid, especially for a game that needs a peripheral. Is that number correct? That would put the game in the top 50 which I have not seen it appear in

I had Mario paint in the 90s. Didn't have the mouse, but I loved using it to make songs when I was like 3-4. Would love to find my old copy and hear what I made back then

Seeing as how much I love puzzle games I would have begged for that GameCube puzzle pack near the ned of the video. Also it's called Puzzle League not Tetris Attack anymore. Not even sure why they were allowed to use the Tetris name in the first place.

If only the N64 DD could incorporate up to 128 megabytes of storage instead of 64 megabytes, things could've been a bit more expansive. Then again, the same could be said if the N64 cartridges could go up to as high as 128 megabytes, things would've been just as expansive!

"With the promotion running from November of 1998 to May 1989." Me scratches head...

5:47 Eh, I'll take "Western Show on Super Mario World" over this any day.

5:36 well I didn't want to sleep. That is a super special Mario.

I had been waiting SO LONG for Itadaki Street to be mentioned in a video!

And if you’re saying the Mario world game came out February 1985, that’s the first one not the one with the knitting

There are so many Japan exclusive Mario games that never came outside the country. The one Japanese Mario game I’ve found it very intriguing is the N64 Mario Paint,which is a disk drive exclusive and a very innovative one too. Sadly the N64DD didn’t went well to the US market at the time.

Pikachus face looks like a spider... 22:21

too bad us westerners never got to play "i am a teacher! super mario sweater"

Y’all’s videos are a happy place for me. Just incredibly calming

Me: "hears Mario World" Also me: Oh, like Mario Bros.

WHAT? Nintendo didn't copyright strike All Nippon Radio for putting lyrics to the Mario theme song!? 😱😱
