Being old, I knew these. But there is also one I can’t remember how anymore, but there’s something you can do to make Mario slide through the level on his front foot. His legs don’t move but his rear foot is off the ground and it looks like he’s ice skating through the level.

@dementia316 11 ай бұрын

You forgot 4. One, if you touch Bowser as small Mario at the same time that you touch the axe, you will die, but not lose a life. Two, if you break blocks on the far left of the screen, you can, sometimes, jump in-between the blocks, and the screen, and hang there. Three, sonetimes, in World 4-2, if you try the previously stated trick,, you can slide through the bricks, and, even, run through them. Four, also in World 4-2,, if you're big Mario, and you crouch, and jump at the same time where you get that first coin block, you'll slide through the bricks. If you time it just right, and jump, you'll break the center block, but not the lower block, and make a "hole", so to speak.

@toffeenut1336 6 ай бұрын

Only other trick you left out is when Mario can ice skate across the screen. In the same vein of the last trick (in order to get small fire Mario), as soon as you beat Koopa, start the next stage off by immediately jumping and holding down the turbo button. It will look like a Mario is ice skating on one leg.

System) and my Game Boy Color (Deluxe). and today, 2023. I still learn new things about!!

I think with a little modification of code that can be fixed in the NES version. Although, getting 128 or more lives will mean an insta-Game Over the next time you die, since numbers 128-255 (80h-ffh) are read as negative numbers (signed bytes).

I just finished the game for the first time. No guide obviously. I just played it on Switch. I LITERALLY was looping in that final level like a dumbass. I even got so good as running without ever slowing down and jumping perfectly. For what? For me to do it for an hour then Google it and find out I'm stupid. Anyways, I also noticed I accidentally got on top of a level and ran past it all lol. First time actually properly playing it. I've tried it for a couple mins at someone's house, on an emulator, stuff like that. But having a copy to play on my own and take my time with? Not until today. Had great fun. With the release of the GB, GBC and GBA emulators on Switch today, I decided to go back and finally start finishing some of these old games. Tick boxes off in my head (ocd)

You’ve gotta be obsessed😂 I was 7 yrs old when I got my game and became ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED IMMEDIATELY. After I beat the entire game once, then beat it again in the harder mode…I would “challenge” myself to get EVERY SINGLE coin, beat every op and crush every brick. I had undiagnosed adhd. So to be able to keep playing it after beating I had to feel challenged. That’s what led to me finding out about the coin thing.

There is one thing I am super curious about. As you know, the Life Counter shows glitched up symbols if it goes over 9. It's clear the developers never knew about the 1-up Staircase trick, even though they have embraced it since. So, this makes me wonder - WITHOUT ever using the 1-Up Staircase trick, what is the maximum number of lives you can have by the end of the game?

@TheGameDisplay 4 жыл бұрын

It's weird that they left such a glitch in the game, considering that even if you don't do the 1-up staircase trick it's very possible to get over 10 lives from 1-up mushrooms alone! But looking into that in addition to how many lives you could also pick up from coins and enemy combos would be interesting! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)

Another trick used by speedrunners. You can clip in to the wall at the beginning of 4-2 and it will push Mario to the right. That way, you can perform Wrong Warp glitch. Wrong Warp is basically when you take a warp pipe, instead going to the coin cache, it goes to the warp zone without the vine animation. Here's a simple variation. Run and backwards jump on the wall, then hit the Goomba in the middle, do the backwards jump on the coin block, and then, hit the vine block. If done correctly, you will achieve the same Wrong Warp glitch the same way if you did with the clipping way.

@Tetsaiken 4 жыл бұрын

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Frame Rule and what it affects and how to manipulate it. In speedrunning, this is important as manipulating it will allow silly shenanigans like the 4-2 wrong warp (via backwards bumping), and it also affects many other things in the game that I can't remember off the top of my head.

@TheGameDisplay 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! That's a neat trick too! I didn't want to go down the rabbit hole that introducing speedrunning tricks could lead to. I also could have talked about things like bullet bill flagpole trick, but I thought I should probably just stick to fun, odd, and useful things for the average player!

You missed the backwards walk through the wall toward the left in the bricks the first castle level. Also there is another jump the flag pole opportunity in level two and if you manage it right you play warped Mario. Not warp world more that the whole game is warped.

Is there a glitch with getting the 1up Mushroom in Level 1-2 as Luigi?

Nowhere on the internet have I found a similar experience explained...sooo, anyone?
