_"If he mentions Doki Doki Panic I'm gonna scream"_ _"I'm gonna scre- Okay"_
No idea if this was intentional, but “mamu” for “muma” in Wart’s name could be considered parapraxis, a displacement of uncomfortable feelings onto substitutes, which Sigmund Freud identified in his patients’ dreams. Or perhaps a cigar is just a cigar
So we talk about mario and Doki Doki Panic is swept under the rug? My opinion.
Funnily enough i just found out you can jump on water in wonder today.
Same
Funnily is not a word just say funny
9:24 ☝🤓ermm akshually crabs aren't the only thing that's not cat-themed in Bowser's Fury since the rabbits that we chase around Lake Lapcat don't have any cat ears either.
*pushes up glasses* this guy's got point you know
Also bowser himself isn’t a cat in that game
According to Kaze, SM64 actually does run in 64-bit mode but the compiler probably wasn’t able to produce 64-bit instructions and therefore would split them into two 32-bit instructions
It wasn't the compiler that was the issue, 64-bit instructions were just slower than 32-bit ones.
@@ChillaxeMake well that too
1:18 had me for a second 😂😂😂😂
ive known everything BUT the hidden new soup thing
I've %100 the game multiple times, and explored everywhere, I'm in shock right now 😮
7 years old me found the New Super Mario Bros Wii pipe on his own, because I wasn't trusting that small pipe going downwards so I tried by myself. I knew of Wart, Bombshell Koopas, the Mario Cartoon, Sunshine, the mini mushroom thing as I said, the 3D Land ghost, the shell thing in 3D World, Mario Maker, Remix 10 and Odyssey's pause screen.
8:57 is where he talks about the thumbnail.
Yes
And 9:39
One fact about smb2 usa, it improves over what doki doki panic was, and in the Allstars and Super Mario Advance they bring a better save feature, graphichs improvement and additional content (last one only in SMA)
Hilariously, I actually just came from Kaze's video on the N64's 64-bit nature, where he says every game used some 64-bit floats, but mostly by accident XD
I knew 8 of these and was actually surprised how much new information I walked away with
3:36 I feel...deceived 😢
I mean, N64 still a 64-bit console but Mario 64 is a 32-bit game, just like the DS remake.
Knew all of these except the White Mushroom House in SMB3 and Mario 64 actually being 32-bit. Y'know, I thought for sure the Mario 3 fact would be either the Water World theme being the original version of the Fairy Fountain theme from Zelda or the secret Coinship levels.
I knew exacty ONE of these beforehand (would've been two if you hadn't retraced the well-known Doki Doki Panic tidbit, lol). (Sunshine's Sirena Beach reference to the GameCube's controller.)
We’ll I’m glad I could inform you! Thanks for watching!
Unironically watched the super mario world show as a child so uh
5:42 I swear there had to be like FIVE people who knew about that, no more no less.
This one totally blew my mind, I thought I knew everything about that game!
Amazing how I'm still finding stuff I don't know in these games. Bravo!
I'd like to point out that Remix 10 is actually called "10th Remix" in the PAL version so that connection doesn't exactly work
YOUR TELLING ME PEOPLE DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE HIDDEN ROOM IN NSMBW??? I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW IT. SAME WITH THE NSMB2 RAINBOW COURSES
Glad to be able to say I subbed before your 100k mark, the quality if this video is great and I've played so many mario games over and over and only knew a couple of these. Thanks for the video, I look forward to more! 💙
that mario odyssey one was definitely one i didn't know. that's actually so cool!
-Knew about the Hammer Bros charge -Haven't played either Super Mario Bros. 2. Knew about Wart in Link's Awakening though, as I have played that (specifically DX, the GBC version) -Well yeah, but Super Mario 32 doesn't sound as good, and doesn't have synergy with the console -Knew about the Gamecube Garden, but if they were going for a Boo they failed -Knew about the mini halfpipes (get it?) -Knew about the flagpole ghost -Are the final two digit rewards even a secret past Lost Levels? -Knew about the spiritual successor to the best item in the series -Knew about the safe lava, I love putting those in levels to give players a second chance on stupid jumps
Yooooooo the flagpole time thing in Lost Levels is also sorta how you unlock Luigi in Melee and is for sure a reference to that game!
Yeah! I thought of that when I found out too!
@@jeremymklinger that super arcane way of unlocking him makes some sense now!
We knew that hammer bros could charge, but not how long it took. (It comes up on some of the harder romhacks we’ve seen Kosmic play.) We knew the flagpole trick, but apparently had the game misattributed. (we thought it was one of the alternate versions of SMB, like Vs.) We didn’t put together that Mamu in Link’s Awakening was Wart. We knew about the bombshell koopas and their long absence. We knew about the white toad houses, but not their trigger. Got a few ourselves as a kid. Did not know about the card flipping trick there. We knew about the Super Mario World cartoon. Watched and liked it as a kid. Didn’t know about the N&B blocks. We kind of knew the Super Mario 64 one, just in the form of knowing stuff kept having to do with the 32-bit integer limit in breakdowns of the code and mechanics. Didn’t know the two Sunshine ones. Didn’t know the Mario 64 DS one. Didn’t know the New Super Mario Bros one, either. Or the Super Mario Galaxy one. Or New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Or Super Mario Galaxy 2. Or Super Mario 3D Land. Or New Super Mario Bros. 2 (but we never played that one) Or New Super Mario Bros U, which we think we did play? Or Super Mario 3D world, either of them. Or Super Mario Maker. (Though we never played that one either. We’d stopped having money by then) Or Super Mario Odyssey, though we did play it. Or Super Mario Maker 2 (another one we never played) Or Bowser’s Fury (ditto) Or Wonder (Ditto.) Being as generous as seems remotely fair, that’s 5 known.
I've played all of them and some of those tips will be really helpful if I ever go back again. Nice
This video is *extremely* well made, great work!
Thank you! I worked hard on it, so I appreciate you saying that 😁
9:38 Fuck no ew got me laughing XD
To my absolute shock I didn't actually know these. Like literally every time I watch one of these "Things you didn't know about (insert literally any mario game here)" videos I know literally everything in the video but you ACTUALLY found good secrets that I didn't know (I did know the Mario Run and 3D Land stuff though.)
Ones I knew about: Mario 2/Doki Doki Panic (and Mamu in Link's Awakening) Mario 3 (though I don't think I learned about it until the internet) The hammer brother fact in Mario 1 is interesting. I knew they could behave like this in Lost Levels because some of them actually seem to start this way in that game, but I always went past them (or died on a hammer) before I had waited long enough to see it in Mario 1. I didn't know the Super Mario Bros Super Show ever had sequels, even though I remember when the original show was on the air.
That Super Mario Sunshine initially made me think of the Inverted Stone Tower from Majora's Mask. Now I'll tjink of that every time I see the controller
I knew about that mario bros wii pipe, I fooled around way too much with the mini mushroom in so many levels, I also knew about the mario maker invincible lava, and only half of 3d worlds (specifically turning into the koopa shell and controlling it), but oh boy that 777 trick as well as the specific times for the flags for a free power-up would have been good to know at the time XD
I knew just about all of these except lost levels, and NSMB Wii’s secrets
"What instrument do you play?" Super Mario Odyssey
Can't believe I've never heard of the white mushroom house. I've also been playing Mario 3 since I was a kid.
Cat ears on crabs would be crabby
2:59 Hey now, each to their own! I personally love the series 💙
7:04 had this happen three times in a row yesterday. Thought I was just super lucky, didn’t know there was a reason !
Super Mario Bros 2 USA- Clawgrip. While the game may be a reskin mostly, Clawgrip is actually exclusivly a Mario character. In Doki Doki Panic's version of 5-3, the boss was originally a third mouser with spikes on the floor, while Mario 2 changed it to add Clawgrip as a boss instead.
You know, it’s funny. Sounds like we had the exact same experience with that little secret on NSMBWii. I had played that game over & over & over as a kid. I loved (love) that game so much I hoped that one day I’d find some new secret or shortcut or something, as I hadn’t found anything new in literal years, and still played it. I feel like the game was hiding so many secrets. Like, why is world 3 split up into 2 parts? Is there a shortcut through the trees via a secret exit that brings you to the left side of the end castle? Anyways, I’m getting off track. One day I wondered, what if you tried walking into this pipe as mini Mario? And boy was I astonished. But also sad because it’s not the craziest secret, like you said. Still cool though I found something new after years of playing it 😂
NSMB DS was my first videogame ever, and I knew about challenge mode. I really hope to discover something knew about this game one day
I surprisingly knew 19/24, though I'd partially forgotten about most of them.
Actually, you're wrong about "Lost Levels." 1up mushrooms are not "hard to come by," as actually they're more frequent than the first SMB, and there's many hidden ones I've found throughout the game. There's also more hidden coin rooms, and the backwards warpzones can offer opportunities to grind for 1ups. Not to mention, Miyamoto and Tezuka admitted they purposely made opportunities for the player to have unlimited 1ups, similar to the stairway trick in SMB1, but because there's more bounce when stomping on enemies in "Lost Levels" the trick is easier to do, and it can be done in 2 different places in the first stage. Also, the notion that SMB2 USA "doesn't count as a real Mario game" is kinda unfair, because Miyamoto considers it one, and stated when they made "Dream Factory Doki Doki Panic" they originally considered using Mario characters in it in the first place. (Which explains why it had 2 Mario items, the star and POW block.) And frankly, many games featuring Mario weren't originally conceived as Mario games either like "Dr. Mario," and "Super Mario Land." Which is a common practice for Nintendo. (Starfox Guard wasn't originally a StarFox game, and Toad wasn't originally in "Treasure Trackers." "Kid Icarus Uprising" wasn't Kid Icarus when it started development.)
i got 16, a bit less than i was expecting but not bad :3 that nsmbw one shocked me though, that was my first mario game and first game in general i owned as a kid and ive replayed it a ton since then and ive NEVER heard of that secret room
I got 18/27. The ones I missed were the white mushroom house, card game, N&B, 32 bit, Luigi title, Megaleg, Remix 10, crab, and water jump
Nintendo is a perfect example of enemies to friends Lego and Nintendo competed And now they are working together so they could make Lego Mario
Where's Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island??
While Miyamoto declares it a mainline game, it isn't listed on the official site
I've heard about the aggressive Hammer Bros. +1 Had no idea about the Lost Levels 1-Ups. +0 I knew about Wart in Zelda, he's also in Smash Bros Ultimate as a Spirit. +1 Yes the Bombshell Koopas couldn't bounce around due to technical limitation I believe, funfact they're called Nokobon in German. +1 I have NEVER seen a white Toad House in SMB3, or the anchor. And I didn't know about the card trick either. +0 Knew about the Mario World show, even though I never really watched it (unlike both of the other shows). That's where the Mama Luigi meme is from. +1 Yup, knew about the Building Blocks in Super Mario Land 2. +1 Had no idea about the Mario 64 thing. +0 Knew everything about Sunshine, love that game. +1 Can't remember if I've seen the Luigi Title Screen in SM64DS before, but as a kid I really played around in those menus a lot, so maybe? +0 Yeah the NSMB Secret Code is a classic, also called "Einbahnstraßenmodus" in German. +1 I had no clue the Mario Galaxy boss was supposed to be a Zelda idea. +0 NSMBWii secret is something I believe I've heard of before, but TOTALLY forgot about. +0 Never seen that King Whomp expression in my life. +0 Yea I've seen the ghost in Super Mario 3D Land before, because I loved watching "creepy secrets in Mario games" videos. +1 NSMB2 Rainbow Courses are definitely a thing I've had appear on my playthroughs a bunch of times, but I never looked up the criteria. +0 Bonus Items in NSMBU were something I got all the fucking time, even without trying, it honestly got kind of annoying at some point. lol And yes I knew the item you get is dependant on the number. +1 Knew about both of the SM3DW facts, if you use a Tanooki Twirl or Cat Scratch on the slot machine you'll hit two blocks at the same time btw. +1 Yeah I know about the Fly Minigame, I was NEVER able to beat the hard version of it for the last amiibo costume and I'm mad about it to this day. +1 I know about Remix 10 in Rhythm Heaven but I honestly never even drew the connection for Mario Run, despite having played that game more than most, tbh. +0 I THINK I've heard about the Odyssey facts, I definitely knew about the 1-Up one, but Rosalina's Observatory is so much cooler wtf +0 Heard about the Mario Maker 2 lava trick. +1 Bowser's Fury: true why do the crabs not have cat ears, I always wondered about that +1 speaking of wondering, I actually didn't know about the water crouch jump.. +0 Total Points: 13/24
1:16 Bro was about to make Yume Kojo a mainline Mario game.
Mario Galaxy (2008)… the boss WAS the level. Shadow of the Colossus (2005)… all the bosses were the levels. 🤯
Very informative list! I only knew about the Super Mario 3D World ones and the NSMB DS one as well
I always felt like when i was changing to assist mode in Oddysey it would make a cool beat
I actually didn't know (or rather Hadn't noticed) the creepy HUMAN ghost in Mario 3D Land. Talk about nightmare fuel indeed☠️!!!!!!
Hey dude that new super Mario bros trick had me screenshotting and texting my uncle. We’re gunna have to hang out again now that we know how to manipulate powerups!! ❤
1:10 The worst part about this constantly spread info is that it's not entirely true. It DID, in fact, start out development as a the sequel to Super Mario Bros. Nintendo was trying to mix things up for the sequel but felt it was TOO different and shelved it and got to work on what we'd call "The Lost Levels", and instead retooled the original sequel into a storybook game called Doki Doki Panic.
Neat video. I knew most of these for the games I've played. Does anyone have a more in-depth explanation of the Mario 64 one?
Nsmb and nsmb Wii also has a reward for matching timer digits Last 2 digits = small house All the digits = bigass house with op stuff
I knew 19 of these. Guess I'm quite a Mario buff.
hammer ro charging is actually used for the min a press tas of super mario bros. now thats the advanced version of that fact you didn't know
I remember collecting 149/150 Power Stars in Super Mario 64 DS. What was frustrating was that there was a glitch. You had to go to the Boo Yard early and Ground Pound the Boos for 8 Red Coins. Otherwise, they would only produce Yellow ones. They only produced Yellow ones for me. I was so frustrated and mad because I had put all that effort into collecting all 150 Power Stars, only to be foiled by the glitch. I started the game all over again in a new game and collected all 150 Power Stars. The first Power Star I went for was the glitched one. That way, I was guaranteed to get it. They should do a remaster of New Super Mario Bros. 2! I would love to welcome the challenge of collecting 1M coins! When I had it for the DS, I couldn't be bothered, but if they do a remaster of the game on the Switch 2, I will get the game again and work to get 1M coins!
"Facts you didn't know about EVERY Mario game" Me who's well-known many unknown facts: And I took that personally.
@Jeremy Klinger: You miss two secret, in Super mario bros.3 how to get the coins ship. You must be in world 1, 3, 5,6 and their must be a hammer bros on the map, if your coins are a multiple of 11 match that number with the 10 digit of your score, and also make sure to stop the time on even number when you hit the ending goal, if your 10 digit of your score is 5 away from it matching, then hit the goal on Odd number, except the GBA version on mini-castle since the time is change to give you 100 points per second, so if it match you don't have to worry about hitting odd or even number. Also in both version 0 does not count and only Super mario bros. 3 will not count 0 but all other game do count 0. Other secret you miss Super mario world secret 1-up at the goal that gives you time score, you will only know that with a sound queue they are not visual queue, so how to have it. Match the 10 digit of your bonus stars, with the 10th and unit digit of your timmer. so if you have 3 star points currently timer at x00 so if the number of start points is 13, then timer X11, you will get the 1-up before the score is calculated, they are mush better way to get a 1-up so that is why that one as been overlook.
0:23 HOW DID HEE GET HIT THERE?!
Mario Wonder can have a full video on itself!
stuff i didn't know lost levels 64 galaxy wonder
I already knew from personal experience, without watching any videos, about the mini mushroom pipe in super Mario bros Wii
I knew everything except Sunshine, 64DS, Galaxy, Galaxy 2 and Bowser Fury.
3:25 at least there is lego super mario now. A shame the lego games haven't done anything with mario. Cool sml2 level.
Wait mario 2 is just a reskin of yume Kojo doki doki panic? 🤯
No way bro
No way bro
lean is a drug? 😨
Mario Maker 2 yeah i played a level like that and i was so confused
SMB3 is the only Mario game where you can swim in lava (if you're invincible).
I've played SMBW so many times but never knew abt that secret
Fun fact:Gamecube's prototype name is dolphin (Atleast thats what i remember)
you missed the one in new super mario bros on the DS where you could play as luigi, that one was always my favorite as a kid
on the title screen whenever you're going into the game, hold L+R and press XYBA at the same time and you'll hear "luigi time!" or something and play as luigi
I understand why people say mario 2 isnt a mario game. But c'mon. If it wasnt for that game there would be no shy guy's, birdie am i missing anything? Those characters are iconic and still in the games to this day.
I knew 8 in video.😊
Sadly only knew about 2 of them. The white toad houses and the safe lava
In Yoshi's Island (SNES) In the level select screen hold the select button and press: x,x,y,b,a for free mini games.
Also, the Mario World cartoon is fun...but both it and the Mario 3 cartoon pale in comparison to the Super Mario Brothers Super show.
I knew: smb mario land 2 sunshine nsmb wii 3d land new Super Mario Brothers 2 nsmbu Super Mario Maker :D and smm2 Wonder
In mario 3 the first boss stage If you beat it under 2 minutes you get a half a second flash of a top less princess toadstool actually doing a stool!
The odyssey one was epic
Mario 64 DS also has wario, I never knew that it was based on the amount of time you click on it though.
I didnt know any of these wow
Mario world Mario in a shell can you do that in other games that Mario can carry koopa shells?
0:50 BRO RLLY HAD ONLINE
