I just noticed an editing mistake in the video, at around 7:57 to 8:13 there is a section with no voice over. I'm so sorry I didn't notice this while I was editing. For updates on my new videos and projects, check out my KZfaq Community page. :)

9:15 in an interview for Super Mario Bros 25th anniversary, Miyamoto claimed in the original concept for the game Mario would shoot bullets straight forward, but this was changed to the fire flower because they wanted an emphasis on platforming rather than shoot-em-up gameplay. There's no art or prototypes known to exist of this tho.

Good video. This is not a criticism of Astral Antonio: many of the entries got dumber the farther down the "iceberg" went. I have played Super Mario Bros for over 30 years, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that there never was any "secret" simultaneous multiplayer. Ever. The NES just did not have that capability, at least when SMB was released.

I believe that the Toad people were turned into unsmashable bricks, such as the ones you walk along. Nintendo wouldn't let Mario destroy innocent lives, just my opinion.

llettttssss goooooooooo ....you unlocking memories from when i was younger is crazy to me!! these are very well put together regardless how much u skip. keep up the good work and dont stop the grind!!!

10:33 Sometimes when playing Super Mario Bros. in an emulator, when pressing start, the game loads World 0-1 by default (Pressing A + Start in the title can make the player go to World 1-1). World 0-1 is an underwater version of World 4-4 (without enemies, and you can get trapped). I remember World 0-0 being the same thing as World 0-1.

Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago but I really like your content, keep up the good work!

I must be down a deep hole if I’m your 367th subscriber. Good stuff, keep it up.

I always leave your videos feeling so informed. Thank you for another interesting and well made video.

These videos are really good and underrated. Keep doing these videos, your the perfect KZfaqr to be doing iceberg videos

The Beyond The Finish Line glitched graphics can only be seen if the player gets infinite time, which is normally impossible. Cheat/Game Genie codes must be used for this.

The 1-up trick isn't infinite, the hexadecimal only allows for 255 lives. If you get more than that the number rolls over into a negative integer and will trigger a game over after 1 death.

'Toad is flipping you off' should've been on here

FYI, NES games are not made of "files". The ROMs are pretty much contiguous blobs of data. At best you could separate the code from the graphics. As such there can be no 'lost files'. There are some unused graphics, though, and some unused code, but nothing really all that notable. Famicom Disk System games are made of files, to be fair, but SMB does not have any unused ones.

Great video! Deserve more subs. Iceberg videos are my favorite, definitely going to add some of your videos to watch later to watch on my lunchbreak at work 😂

Regarding toads being bricks, later on in the manual it explains that when you hit a brick block, you free the toad inside it and get rewarded 100 points, coins, or power ups.

Wow

Very good video!! Loved it

I once saw a vhs tape of my dad's playthrough on smb. After saving the princess, he was the send to this unknow water level that was black background, & clouds as the floor. Only a few seconds in, he swimed until there was nothing, all pitched black as the star music continued to play. There was nothing he could do so he called it quit. To this day I still don't know what that was & tape was never seen again along with other recordings.

small note: the time:000 is a unused parameter originally used for the underground/under water level entrances but the final game just had it so that the timer is completely unused and the "mario with guns" is believed to be from the same piece of concept art as the cloud or a similar piece highlighting planned controls for the game with up on the d-pad being used to jump and the A button used for a "item" with brackets naming a rifle and a beam gun i got these from the cutting room floor which also gives a development timeline which goes a little something like this (which i copy-pasted from the cutting room floor just the source links removed) 1984 Fall - Development started at the same time as The Legend of Zelda, after Devil World and Excitebike were finished. December - Miyamoto requests programmers at SRD to form an experiment with a controllable rectangle. 1985 Unknown Date - Specifications for Mario riding around in a cloud and rocket are drawn up. February 5th - An early control scheme is designed. February 20th - Specification describing the mechanics of how becoming big would work is written. February 28th - Planning sheet is drawn up containing Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. assets such a red girder and a vine. March 8th - Another planning sheet is created, possibly made for level planning. June 27th - A draft of an early green title screen is drawn up. July 19th - World 1-1 is finished around this time. July - Although the initial release date was intended to be during summer break, development time was furthered by 3-4 weeks to finish the game. August 12th - Game was likely finished around this time according to the SMAS partial source code leak. September 13th - Game released for the Famicom. October - Game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the USA. The exact date for the release is unknown. 1986 February 21st - Game released for the Famicom Disk System. 1987 May 15th - Game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe.

Just found your channel. This was like ASMR but for retro video games. Cool way to combine memes, reddit, retro games. Well done, Another sub for you sir!

9:16 I think this entry is refering to that Mario could take bullet bill shooters and use them as guns due to lack of power ups in the game.

“I tried to pick an iceberg that I hadn’t seen any other KZfaqr cover” I literally made the original super Mario bros iceberg years ago…

can’t believe i got jumpscared by a mario iceberg video lmao

I think they meant mario 64 takes place BEFORE super Mario brothers. Fun video

Here I’m hoping one day This will be in an iceberg Mario adventure is a hallucination:The reason why I’m saying this is cause Mario collects mushrooms and those could make hallucinations and sometimes you get hurt by other mushrooms like goombas and poison mushrooms and that makes the effect for Mario longer and since it slowly wears off Mario gets more and more mushrooms till the point that it no longer wears off

Lore of Weird Super Mario Bros Iceberg momentum 100

I wonder if the secret multiplayer is talking about how the second controller can pause the game while player 1 is playing and that can drop them into a pit? Also, in case you didn't come across it, the infinite lives "glitch" was added intentionally. No one knows if the rest were as well. I'm surprised the small fire Mario glitch wasn't on the iceberg, actually, that's a cool one.

These never get old. Wish my narration was as well done as yours

10:12 There's a hack that makes this possible.

I may be late to say this, but Sky Corridor in the game is buggy and inaccessible by normal means. Also a great video. Please make more.

Hello I would like to weigh in on this. In 1983 Mario killed my father in a Chicago arcade, I was there 🐢 In 1990 I was the first Green Koopa in 1-3 but I just kinda hung out, until... I got a starring spot in Super Mario Kart! I entered so I had a chance to avenge my father, but I lost. After that I moved to Southeast Asia and started working with Hummer Team and got some light plastic surgery (See profile pic) and worked with some actors in the fighting game Kart Fighter. My cousins have been in all the games since. Nintendo won't hire me back looking like this 🐢😆

1-1 should be in the space section

I am actually pretty sure Mario did use a weapon of some kind in the early concept art that I found here. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iOClptKpua3Lh30.html

What is that horrifying picture at the end

was there a jump at the end of this? i left before taking chances

mario kart wii icebug?

I swear to god why do youtubers always put edgy and creepy songs in these types of vids💀😭

Honestly kinda a mediocre video. Not much effort was put into researching items on the iceberg.

I really don't like this video

This is a poor video, with not a lot of interesting facts, this could be so much better, what a shame

What "iceberg"? You just review the game.
