It's already been almost 1 and a half years and "Mario and the Rainbow Road Express" still hasn't been released!

6:49 this feels like an epic action movie

8:31 Let's g- *gets sliced*

2:19 Goomba: Well. That was easier than I expected

Nice to see you back, hope you enjoyed your time away and took care of whatever was needed, whether it was an extended vacation, or a personal emergency, or family or others that needed to be addressed

I think what makes Level Up one of the best pixel video geniuses is how they capture every single video game moments from nostalgia. Awesome work, Level Up! 👍 👍

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MARIO AND THE RAINBOW ROAD EXPRESS

RIP to Mario’s hot air balloon.

After each video, this series feels more and more like an actual video game. I love it

4:23 that was actually brutal!

The hype for rainbow road is real. When will we get it?

Using the Cloudtop Cruise medley was an excellent way to make this feel like an adventure.

This feels like an actual Mario stage, as in the kind that you would find in the hidden world. Nintendo, hire this man!

I been waiting for this adventure can’t wait for more

2:08 And that's where sniper thwomps come from.

2:42 Yeah, he's been told that before.

Man it's been months since we've waited for this. Previously was the Mario Submarine video.

it's finally here! must admit part of me was afraid this series was forgotten, awesome to know it isn't so!

4:35 ok i lost it on that death XD

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ITS GONNA BE THE MARIO AND THE RAINBOW EXPRESS

*Gets 17 lives* "Imma gonna die horribly now aren't I?"

dude this is amazing!!!! can't wait for the next part :D

2:52 why do I have a feeling that one goomba who fell might make an impact later on🤔

Another great video! Thanks for it! Also: *Bloons sound*

Don't you EVER stop creating! You're hands down my fav Nintendo animator, this was AMAZING!

Therapist: Surprised Bowser doesn’t exist, he can’t hurt you! Surprised Bowser: 5:57

8:44 Thomas and friends Hiro's whistle

Over one year waiting for Mario and the Rainbow Road Express and I still watching all this epic animations while waiting, c'mon, you can finish it, you are the best animator in the world and if I have to wait one more year, I'll wait it without any problem if the final video is epic!

The moment we've all been waiting for. (Besides Goomba revolution part 2 that is)

Finally the greatest channel ever is back, I love this channel and it content....and speaking of content I absolutely loved the mario craft and goomba revolution videos

7:28 pause when the lightning flashes and you can see the blimp in the background

Holy crap, this was AMAZING!!

Welcome back, Level Up! As always, this is one of your best animations yet!

4:00 Why Didn't He Use The Cloud? 0_0

Thank you to everyone behind the production for giving us this video 💋 💝💖❤️

EPIC❗❗😍👍✨🌟🌟🌟

This is so good it should be an official level

Imagine if this was a custom level in a new mario game for 2020/2021

1:34 That was very close 😮😮😮

6:31 HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

My little brother absolutely LOVES this series!

I would really like Episode 2 of Goomba Revolution and everyone else would love it too

Oh my goodness the enemies never stopped comin’! Thank goodness for all those 1-UPs 🍄 great stuff! Can’t wait to see the next episode!

2:53 lol. the Goomba fell down

Level UP needs to work for Nintendo

0:50 This should be a Mario Party minigame.

1:46 Shiny, yet *deadly* coins…

If you somehow make a full Mario game based around these videos I’d download in a heartbeat!

8:32 “Let’s a g-“ *buzz*. I laughed WAY too hard at that. 🤣

Now this honestly makes me not as scared to get into a REAL hot air balloon fight. It looks pretty easy and fun!

2 years later and we still dont have that train that was forshadowed...

4:55 D'oh!

Hello Peter

5:37 NOOOO BLUE TOAD!!!!

8:50 "Lord Bowser! We're here to hellishly obliterate you!"

2:44 well bowser neither do you

2:27 how well interpreted

I feel like this guy could become the creative director for Nintendo and a new golden age of games would come out

So epic! I loved it!

4:23 Sonic 2 physics

This might be the best LU vid yet! So much detail, and some fantastic gags!

This needs to actually be a game lol

This is cool but when they actually counted how many 1-ups mario got I loved it

Respect to the goomba's that they took almost all mario's life

Every level up video is amazing, but I think this may be my new favorite.

YES! the moment we have been waiting for! thank you level up. hope your episode 2 of goomba revolution is going well.. stay safe!

Oh man, at the end there... All those Goombas are going to make for quite the 1-up bonanza from just bouncing on their heads. Mario should also take a bit more care of his 1-ups. Getting to 1 every time probably isn't too healthy. Especially since Bowser seems to be stepping up his game and more consistently bringing Mario down to 1. He's gonna have to use a Continue!

I love puzzles inside the big balloons and always wonder: Does somebody create all the mazes or do they arise in the Mario's world on their own? :)

This was incredible and one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'm so incredibly impressed

I wish all of you a great Rest of the Day ^^

*Level Up is slowly bringing us back to the Goomba Revolution* Keep on animating!

It's already been almost 3 years and"Mario and the rainbow road express" still hasn't been released!

Last time I was this early Yahoo! Answers was still answering us! ... Anyway: Oh wow, a new Level UP vid _and_ it’s over 9 minutes?! _Yes please!_ 😆😆😆 Thanks for the new vid Level UP 💙🐱💙

A fight on the air is awesome

This would be an amazing Mario party game

it's been a year and the rainbow road express hasn't come out yet. also i think the train looks like the one from one of the mario party games. but i'm just guessing.

dang dude this one was quite the ambitious animation. the scale was magnificent, the use of Cloudtop Cruise's musics was a good choice for this. i was legit shocked at the flying space train from MK8's N64 Rainbow Road cuz i didnt realize it was even flying until it showed up at the end.

For a creator who is already next level, this is above and beyond.

God Cloudtop Cruise fits this so well.

Goomba: “Well that was easy” Mario: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 13 more times, and I’m the idiot.”

Level up normal videos: **The kid whos mom is holding him.** Goomba revolution: **The drowning kid** Mariocraft: **The skeleton on the ocean floor sitting on the chair.**

This is genuinely one of the most creative and fun fanmade animations for Mario - or any Nintendo game, really - that I've seen in a while! I love all the ways that the core idea gets explored.

I love these videos so much its so cool to see 8-bit mario animated like this so fluidly with all these original stories and ideas providing a fresh take on the mushroom kingdom characters. Petition to see Nintendo make this into a fully fledged show?

Imagine if there was a game where Mario just does all this cool and funny stuff.

i’ve been waiting for this since mario’s ship cruise B)

Man, these episodes take so long to get made, but every time they do it's always worth it. Not only that, but each one expands the mechanics of the world this takes place in. For example, this was the first time Mario's ever used a powerup in the episode based videos (outside of the 1-up mushroom). It's also now canonical that popping a balloon in this universe sounds like the Bloons TD pop sound clip, which is a more satisfying than serious note.

3:14 Pixelated cartoons 4 kids Edit: Later at 4:25 and 8:32: (that was crazier than I expected)

Wow this was amazing, so much creativity went into this, with a few minor tweaks this could easily work as a real game. The only thing I don't like in general is when people use blood and gore in Mario animations...I dunno, it was fun in the 2000's because it was something new and weird to see, but these days I believe it feels out of place since it doesn't fit with the Mario universe especially since you made everything else feel very Nintendo-like (but yeah, I did get older as well... xD ). I believe there are other ways to show cartoon violence without showing gore...for example you could have just shown Mario's clothes get shred to pieces, he even wears some of red clothing so it would give that initial shock effect when shredded. But yeah, all that aside, this was very refreshing to see and I wish Nintendo also sees your work and that it rekindles their imagination, so their best option would be to hire you as their creative advisor or something :D ...keep it up, and thank you for the lovely video :)

Damn level up should get hired by Nintendo to make ideas for actually levels like this

Can't wait for the next part! Love these!

Wow!!!! That was so cool!! This could be a main series game

I’ve never seen a better animator than than this guy

Hey Level Up. I wanted to say this is my favorite video you’ve made so far! Everything looks so clean, the storm clouds looked so nice. Very high quality and would like to see more ! 👍🏻

I absolutely love Level Up's work!

6:20 Those are some nice cloud sprites

Ha! That Mario get shocked by thundercloud after he gets fell when he choose wrong door. Lol.😂

Alan Becker and Level Up releasing masterpiece animations on the same day tho

These videos just keep getting _better_ and _better._ Looking forward to seeing that *_next_* part, dude!

9:19 minutes of epic animation, and satisfaction

You can tell nelly did game design in every one of his videos and it just makes us want more every time.
