As someone that is almost 40 this channel has brought up so many great memories. I feel like a kid waiting on Saturday morning cartoons.

Even after 30 years, there are still new secrets to learn from this amazing game. I didn't know about the secret 1-ups that only appear if you collect all the coins in X-3 worlds. Congrats on fifty fantastic episodes!

Speedrunners: "We can beat SMB in under 4m 55s!" UCBVG: "Naw, I'm gonna show EVERYONE how to *complete* SMB in over 60 min!" Amazing as always! Congrats on 50 episodes, looking forward to the next 50!

The Bullet Bill and Ted joke was so dry and random, and I couldn’t stop laughing. I appreciate how the humor in these videos are natural and not forced.

I actually like how he takes it a little easy and doesn't act like he's a speed runner. Even though I know none of the tricks of today's speed runners I always prided myself on speed run in this game without dying pretty much when I had my own personal bests. I like that he's taking it slow and explaining everything

This must've taken forever to edit together all the tips and tricks for this one. Thanks for all your stuff, man! I always enjoy your videos. Congratulations on 50!!!!

I remember that commercial, and getting so f***ing excited for Mario.......3.

I played many of these games as a kid, but generally don't feel like I have the patience for them anymore. But your walkthroughs are so satisfying, it kinda makes me wanna go back to them. 😄 Congrats on 50 episodes!

I like that you pointed out that you can grab the beanstalk again, and run on it. When I was a kid, we called it the beanstalk dance. lol

I remember waking up before 6am to play this... One of the few good memories I have as a kid...

The walkthrough was great, I wasn’t aware of the fact that there were more -1 levels from the Fandicom version of Mario. Thanks for another awesome video.

Thank you for showing all the secrets that I still didn't know after almost 40 years! I like how you always sound so calm and collected AND positive no matter how crazy the enemies go. You are one wholesome gamer.

The immortal classic! Still fun over 35 years later. I think this might be the first game I ever beat. The night levels were always my favorite.

Woke up just in time to watch this with my coffee, loved this game as a kid, congrats on the 50th episode.

underrated channel, you're doing a great job man

It's sweet how you found out about the 1-UP mushie appearing only if the coins from the previous -3 level have all been collected. Thankies for that! :)

I remember being the only kid on the block who could complete the game and older kids used to invite me over to play it for them so they could watch how it's done. I knew the warp zone secrets and all and I would use them unless I wanted to play and win level for level and sort of challenge myself so to say. With all that said I still never knew that the Minus World existed. It's amazing how after playing the game countless times and watching videos of people playing it later, I still learned something new about the game. Goes to show you that when you say "all that and more" you're not just saying it for fun. I also learned that you can jump over the flags, I had never done that before playing it. I used to think having beaten the game and knowing about the warp zones was all that was to it and 20 years later you taught me a lesson! Love watching the videos and all the games, along with all the information you tell us about them!

Longest and most in-depth playthrough of SMB I've seen. Makes me wonder what *SMB3* will be like!

I've never been able to beat this game and learned more in this hour than I had all the years I've played it. I had no clue that you could continue.

It's like I'm watching a video form of old Nintendo strategy guides come to life. I spent hours just looking at the layouts, and reading the lore and enemies bios.

Wow what a flashback! I beat this game back in 1988 as a 30yr old on Halloween night after months of gaming anguish.

Wow, there’s so much more to this game that I’ve played for over 30 years than I knew. Such a great video

56:38 Moments like these are the reason why this is the best channel.

Yaaaaas! Got my coffee ☕️ got my bong out. Let’s get it on! Thanks for all that you do, UCanBeat! Dude, I’d love to see some Alien Syndrome, Clash at Demonhead or the wild ride of XEXYZ. You the man, man! 👌

I can't believe a 1-hour long video on the most iconic game of all time is so entertaining. Your channel is amazing.

I just watch these for nostalgia thank you for letting me be a kid for a few hours

What I love about these video guides, as well as them being extremely exhaustive, is the tone and style giving me vibes of late 80s early 90s video game tips videos on VHS. I don't know what it is, but there's something about the way they'd illustrate key moments in a game, explain how to interact with them, and talk about giving you all the tips and tricks to beat the toughest games and get the high scores. It's oddly nostalgic in a way and the constant tone and cadence makes it very easy listening. Thanks for everything you do!

I would love to see you cover The Lost Levels. This was an amazingly comprehensive walkthrough.

I’ve finished SMB 1 More times than I can remember, but thanks to this vid, I finally made it over the flagpole in 3-3 !

I turned 41 last month, and I played this game for hours as a kid. This video showed me things about this game I had never seen before, and never knew existed. Great presentation.

you made it to 50 episodes already? dang. alright. congrats, my friend. i see why you went with Mario. makes sense. SMB was the pinnacle of everyone's game collection. congrats on gettng to 50 episodes and I hope you get to 100

That was a walk(through) down memory lane. When I was 12 or so I played this up to 2 million points. Think I beat it 7 or 8 times. Warp to 4, warp to 8, and repeat . Good job.

I have been playing this game since 1990 and it still amazes me that to this day I find out something new.

I learned so much today. Thanks for sharing your research. (For the record when I seen 50 it scared me I thought today was Mario's 50th birthday. I was like dmn it doesn't feel like I been alive that long.) -lol-

Thanks for these weekly vids that UCBVG is notorious for. What if I told you that I have watched every single video since the beginning. This and Sega Lord X are the only ones I watch. I can even fall asleep to these and that’s high praise from someone who struggles to sleep. There is something very chilled about it. Greetings from the UK. Keep up the great work mate 👊

Congrats on 50 episodes! Heh, speaking of that first Goomba, I remember one of the first times I played Super Mario Bros. Either I had forgotten or never learned the controls, because I lost ALL my lives to the first Goomba thinking "Up" on the joystick jumped! XD As someone who FINALLY got himself an NES Classic Edition, I am definitely making use of these videos. Hoping you also cover the games on the other, official retro mini-consoles, because I do NOT know what I am doing for most of these great, vintage games. XD

your a gem brother!!! this is a game we all know like the back of our hands but you still take time to tell us obvuos things and things we dont know.. you are the best !!!

I still remember some of the tricks I learned from friends and tips and tricks magazines and VHS. Great video and trip down nostalgia lane. Happy 50th!

I remember finding out the getting fireballs when small trick back in the late 80s and no one would believe me. It wasn't until a few years ago I saw it finally published. Wish I had KZfaq back then.

I'm 42, I have played and beaten SMB1 more times then I choose to admit, and I never knew that the coins in the -3 levels controlled the one ups. I did notice that they were there when you warped, but I never in my life knew about the coin thing. amazing.

If you would have told the 6 year old me how culturally and such a society impact Super Mario Brothers was going to create. I be: “nah nothing lasts forever.” Well done on this classic.

I never realized that each of the "Bowsers" is a different enemy in disguise! I'm kinda surprised that the hammer-throwing one wasn't a hammer bro. Thanks for teaching me something new!

So many memories with this game. I still have fond memories of playing this game with my very first friend back in the 80s. We played it constantly. Congrats on 50 videos!

So glad to have found your channel early and got to see you get to 50 episodes. Congratulations man. My favorite creator.

Congrats on 50 episodes! Looking forward to the next 50 and beyond!

I don’t know why but we as a kid sometimes discover the hidden secrets by accident and sure that is fun 🤩

Congratulations on such a great milestone! I love this channel. What an appropriate game to celebrate this with?! While I did have an Atari, the NES and this game is where my love for gaming began. I miss having a NES for the fact of games like this. The simplicity yet challenge that this game provides is second to none. I do have a Xbox One and can’t play all the old titles like this but I still love gaming because of games like this.

This game was a cake walk that many of us beat no problem with awesome hidden secrets revealed we may not known of. SMB2/Lost Levels is a must now

I've been a fan of your series for quite a while now, and I'm happy to see it seems to still be going strong. Congratulations and here's to the next 50 episodes! :)

When I first played it in Kmart I was like: “oh its like Colecovision’s Smurf”

UCBVG:How is Mario throwing fireballs under water Me: magnesium fire balls

I'm 38. This is like a video Nintendo Power. Love it!!

Congrats on the 50 episodes! You certainly have one of the best videogame guides out there. Say Hi to Kylo for me!

Congrats on 50. Thanks to your video, I was finally able to perform the minus-world trick (and I've been playing this game since I was a kid in 1985)!

Top tip. Block with mushrooms are directionally influenced by the bottom corner that you hit, it will always move opposite to the side you hit.

Congrats man!! 50 episodes is a milestone to be proud of and celebrate! Your content just keeps getting better and better! Keep it up 👍

Greetings from Germany. I enjoy so many videos that you make. Congratulations! Amazing how good you play these games I loved as a kid. There are so many more games out there. Hope to see them all here! Thanks man!

I love your channel. Please keep going! I hope you can also cover the Japanese SMB2 (The Lost Levels.)

Finally!! I’ve never known why the one up mushrooms didn’t always appear!! That was the only secret I didn’t know!!!

Fun fact: It has been confirmed by the original designers of the game that Bowser dabbled in Black Magic and turned the entire Mushroom Kingdom into blocks. So when you break the blocks, you are basically releasing them from their curse. Some thought it was a little sadistic but it had limited hardware so imagination was higher in those days.

The NES master strikes again! How did you get so good at these games?

Congrats on 50! Heres to another 50 my man! Thanx for the joy you bring us all! 🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍

I got my Nintendo for Christmas when I was 5, and this game came with it, I also got MT Punchout, Double Dragon, Contra, Zelda, and Ninja Gaiden. And I could never beat mario, but I loved playing after school!!!! Nintendo and Mario is part of me. I love that u play these classics, brings back so many great memories. I love u Mario!!!!

Congratulations on the milestone and also for having your own website! This was the first NES game that I played when I was a kid and it's a big reason why I'm such a big Super Mario Bros. fan. This video was a real treat to watch. Keep up the excellent work!

Very good memories playing this game,thanks for the nostalgia.

I may have laughed a little too hard at "there's no Bullet Ted" line 😂😂😂

Always look forward to seeing your videos Saturday morning. Subscribed after first video I saw channel is amazing. Nostalgic as hell

Man, I love you channel so much. Please, keep it going! Really love the stories before you get into the walkthroughs, too.

I CHERISH this channel like a comfy warm sweater. I watch the videos of games I haven’t played to learn about them, And then i play along with the games i can get my hands on or already have

that 3-1 turtle 1UP trick is legendary 😁

As great as your work is the fact that you tapped into true American nostalgia and used that classic Super Mario Bros. 3 commercial sound clip is just beautiful man!

When you hit the flag at the end of a level and freeze the timer, the last digit in the timer determines if you get fireworks with each firework representing 500 extra points. For example, I think the timer ending with a 6 is the most fireworks points you can get if the timer number ends with a 6 you get like 3000 pts for 6 fireworks. I think 1 , 3 and 6 give fireworks with the rest Giving no fireworks.

Congrats on beating 50 video games and demonstrating how! World 7-1 and 8-1 always kicked my rear as a kid, and I only beat them later as a teenager. Thanks again for showing this off.

Happy 50th episode. Thanks for the great content.

"There are lots of Bullet Bills here. But there are no Bullet Teds, so there will be no Excellent Adventures or Bogus Journeys." God that was too good haha

@34:00 My childhood is complete! I knew it was possible, but never did it. Great stuff! 😁👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 BK

I love a play through video that's over an hour long about a game that has a world record of sub 5 minutes.

My existential dread over my own mortality is boosted by the reminder that this game is where my understanding of videogames began.

Congrats on 50 episodes! I was wondering when you'd do the game that essentially started it all! The day I finally beat this game after having it for something like two years, was the early peak of my life!

Now I understand why in the world 2-1 sometime there is that 1-up mushroom, and sometime it doesn't. Cool.

Super Mario is a legendary game. A big part of so many of our lives. What a scene... so damn important!

Thank you for all your hard work.

I don't think I ever beat this growing up but awesome video nonetheless! 👏 Can't wait for SMB3!

Even though I already knew all of these tricks, this video is so entertaining and makes it much easier to jump over the flagpole in 1-1.

I must have played this a million times and I had no idea about the -2 world neither the continue trick, nor the secret 1-ups if you collect every coin in the third part of the worlds.

Dude... EVERYTIME I hear the "what if I told you..." I actually get extremely excited... its like "ahhh $hit.. here we go!" Great video, so much Nostalgia from the episode. I had the split cartridge which was duck hunt/Super Mario bros. Keep up the great work! 🤘🤘

This channel is severely under rated. I absolutely love watching your videos. Kudos!

One of my favorite channels on KZfaq!

When I was a kid I'd do the trick where Mario climbs the vine and does the run animation, but I always called it "doing the Mario" like in the cartoon

Congrats on number 50. Here to 500 more and then some. Love your channel and work to date.

I am nigh on 40 yrs old and I never knew the secret behind those extra 1-ups. I always thought it was score related or fireworks related because sometimes they'd be there and sometimes they wouldn't. I had no idea it was getting all the coins in the - 3 worlds. Huh! Thanks for this awesome video man!

The intro for this video is on point.

I figured Mario's breath-holding limit was roughly the same as the level timer. When he's clearing out people's back hair and poop for a living, his ability to hold his breath is gonna get very well honed.

Love the shooms on the sides of the screen! You don't know what you missed playing Mike Tysons Punch Out while tripping on shooms you just picked back in the 80s

Been watching since day 1. Very happy for your channel! Here is to 500 more.

Thanks for 50 episodes. This is the best new series on KZfaq in a long time

That was sick, I haven't seen someone stomp Mario Bros like that since my sister when I was a little kid. I don't know what game you will do next week but it's always fun to place bets with my friends! Here are some of my own guesses for any commenters! Let's see if we can get lucky on the NES library! Megaman (There are so many of these that I think you have five left unplayed) Final Fantasy Lolo a.k.a Eggerman Those are the three I'm guessing this week. My friend is guessing one of the following. Kirby's Adventure Rygar Bubble Bobble

One thing about 1-2 when u enter the middle pipe When u peforme the -World Trick u warped to World 5 you can reach the beanstock in 6-2 from the right side as well thier is a hiden block by the pipe

I appreciate the effort you put into this showing us everything that we otherwise may never see Either because people are Speed Running, or simply warping the whole way

Congrats on 50 episodes! Keep up the amazing work. :)
