It wasn't even really hexadecimal, more just that the entire alphabet is what comes next after all the digits in the graphics set.

​@@BagOfMagicFood But who can truly say? Until Nakago and Morita come forward, nobody knows the answer for sure.

@@BagOfMagicFood The same way the 10s digit works with your lives remaining. After 99 lives, for example, it goes to A0...

​@mchenrynick I don't even know how the heck that's possible unless that was deliberately hardcoded into game or the system. And if it was then that is a huge redundancy because of all of the extra conditional statements and commands needed to count the first digit using decimal and then the 2nd digit using decimal + alphabet lol

That is exactly what it means, yes.

you don’t say

yeah; seeing that it was actually underwater in all stars is pretty sad cause having you fly through the sky of regular levels is way cooler

@@ViIvaNunner I really wonder why they did it that way

that's why the all stars one feels less weird

@@MaxOakland It has to do with how both the NES (and FDS. They store it in the same way, just the location is different.) and SNES store and display their graphics. All the tile graphics on the NES are constructed from 4, 8x8 tiles that have one of the 4 available pallets (with 4 colors each, though one is always transparent). 4 pallets isn't a lot, so a lot of colors have to be reused. In the case of the underwater levels, the bricks and ground type use the green pallet, the water (and clouds, in the case of World 9) use the blue pallet, the coins and ? blocks use their own pallet, and the coral and pipes share the pink pallet (this is what leads to that Vaporwave style of coloring). This leads to graphics looking really bizarre when shifting between the different level themes. The colors are usually done to match the level theme, and they generally all do, save for one overworld level using the castle color pallet (I think it's 6-3). The SNES has way more variety compared to the SNES. It still uses 8x8 tiles, but now we have a choice of 8 pallets of 16 colors each. Graphics like the coral and pipes no longer have to share the same set of colors, and can be separated into their own pallets. So now, when the level themes change, graphics like the pipes don't NEED to change the pallet they're using because they have their own, unique pipe pallet. I think they could have made a new set of pallets that only works for World 9 to keep the aesthetic of the NES one, but Nintendo may not have had a lot of time to completely rewrite the code that determines graphic colors. (I haven't read the Assembly, though, so I could be wrong.) I mean, for the most part, the entirety of Mario All-Stars is a copy paste of the original NES games with the memory moved around to take advantage of the SNES's graphical capabilities... tldr; NES has very little color options (16 colors), SNES has a lot more (At most 128 colors), and time may not have been on the side of the programmers... I'm sorry this was a ramble, I just find this stuff fascinating!

I did not know that 😲 very interesting

Do you still have to beat the game 8 times?

@@thebasicgamer4716 yeah

@@starchking765 oof

5:44 I honestly thought this was a rom hack the first time I saw it.

Fun fact: smb special had a powerup that made it so the physics change into those seen in water stages.

Challenge mode and boo races more than make up for the lost of a few questionable levels. You guys can complain about the screen crunch all you want but deluxe was far from a bad package, you had two full nes games fully reprogramed (all the other Mario re releases have been emulated) and so many extras it feel endless. A romhack fixing the screen crunch would make it the definitive version of at least the original 1.

Those levels can For Super Players

@@merluzacongelada5361 + you get cool scrolling lava

I love extra worlds in mario games, why?!

The irony of your comment is ironic

Hard to imagine.

Isn't that the actual world

@@YourWorstNightmareyesthat’s the joke.

Always confused me when people called them remakes when they're so faithful to the NES versions' physics and fundamentals

There's a ton of great content on Deluxe. If someone made a hack that removed the screen crunch, it would be the definitive way to play

I’ve actually come to learn that through the making of my latest video lol (the Mario party items)

That's what I was about to comment, also since 10-13 would be double digits and require more space than originally intended

アリガトウ a ri ga to u That's a yes

@@TheKZfaqGame Interesting to note that it’s spelled in katakana. I guess they had to use katakana since it uses more straight lines, so it’s easier to spell with blocks.

@@wrmsnicket That's good insight; hadn't thought of that. It wouldn't make sense for it to be in katakana, would it? But what you said about the blocks makes a lot of sense. To do it in hiragana would be difficult.

Thanks! Hopefully you'll find my newer stuff a lot better than this ol' vid haha

Oh yeah for sure I would imagine having it at the time was pretty awesome. It’s just one of those games that’s hard to go back to

That’s very sweet but I hope I am a hundred times better by the time I hit 100K subs!

thanks, yeah this vid is pretty old so I’m kinda conflicted on it being recommended to so many people lol Since it’s old I don’t want to watch it myself but if I remember correctly that song might be from one of the Warioware Inc. Mega Party Games strange bonus Japanese music videos

LOL I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise hehe

"what? you think im using the single frame of blank text to plug my video that i made on this specific topic? nah, not gonna do it you just stopped watching the video and had to pause on a specific frame for noting #GOTTEM"

@@Gnarfledarf Did you use the angle keys to find it?

Super Mario Land *is* way easier than Deluxe.

Def depends on the game, like Donkey Kong Country usually has some really good ones! For Mario I def prefer the old school water levels (Bros1-3/World) compared to more modern 2D and 3D entries

they feel slow, it doesn't help that you're vulnerable in them for the most part which were both fixed in mario wonder

Honestly I like how the older games (specifically Bros. 1 and 2) spaced them out. Have a water level every once in a while instead of an entire world centered around the theme.

Based.

I have no idea

Famicom is the True Name The only reason it's called NES in the US is because of Nintendo of America's Marketing which Consisted in Disguising it as a Toy/VCR Hybrid in Order to distinguish itself from the Oversaturated Video Game Market at the Time which was Riddled with the Consequences of the Crash of 83' Hence why Nintendo Entertainment System If it wasn't for those Factors, It'd have the Same Name in US, or a Different One

@@ssg-eggunner They’re asking why ppl pronounce it “Famicon” though

@@Ilikecats25 ohhh

The "ン" in ファミコン (Famicom) usually makes an n sound and is romanized as such but in certain cases, such as when a loanword (conpyuutaa (コンピューター) where the com in Famicom comes from) has an m sound followed by a p or b sound, it can also stand for an m sound. I guess Matt didn't notice this.

cool pfp

how..

jumping on edges could be easier if there was no momentum, however both smb1 and smb2jp had momentum in its physics, which can lead to slipping off, but i'd say that's more of a fault of time period than smb2jp in itself btw what's your opnion on the cryptic invisible blocks

@@ssg-eggunner I think every location where you need to find invisible blocks, they're not hard to find. 8-3 is a little mischievous but not technically invisible.

The way this guy mispronounces everything is odd. "expecially", "asterik", "Hugges", I notice it in all of his videos.
