The Super Mario Iceberg Explained - Director's Cut

[Music] i'm sure most of you know what an iceberg chart is and you're also probably familiar with the mario series so i'm not going to go on for hours and hours for the long intro today i'm going to explain every entry on this super mario iceberg as best as i can this is the director's cut of this iceberg which combines the two parts into one but that's not it as after the iceberg we will interview the creator of this iceberg nat or john and go over corrected entries fan suggested entries and the future for these icebergs it is certainly a treat and you won't want to miss it not gonna waste any more time with this so let's get into the iceberg mario vs sonic this can be referring to two things the mario and sonic of the olympic games series where mario and sonic characters compete in the yearly olympics or it can be referring to the fact that in the early 90s to the early 2000s mario and sonic's games were always competing against each other as nintendo and sega were competing with each other bowser in wreck-it ralph in the 2012 movie wreck-it ralph bowser makes a cameo in the movie he is seen in the bad guys meeting along with other recognizable gaming villains such as dr eggman from sonic and clyde the ghost from pac-man he is seen drinking coffee and speaking however this could just be movie logic super mario bros 2 and super mario bros 3 aren't real this is common knowledge by now but super mario bros 2 and 3 didn't actually happen the events of mario 2 all happened in mario stream this makes a lot of sense because the world you explore in the game is called subcon as in subconscious the events of mario 3 have been confirmed as a stage play note how the semi-solids are bolted the floating platforms are on tracks and you end the level by running behind a black area signifying mario running off stage warp zones warp zones are areas in which mario can warp to different worlds in the game they are normally hidden in underground stages behind the final pipe these warp zones are often used for speed running as a way to get to the end of the game faster there is also a world called the warp zone in super mario bros 3. you get to this world by using a warp whistle and can choose a world to go to switch palaces switch palaces are places in super mario world throughout many levels there are many colored outline squares called dotted line blocks these squares can become blocks by activating their respective colors switch at the switch palaces these palaces are usually found by accessing the secret exit of an adjacent level the only exception being the yellow switch palace a total of four switch palaces are accessible in dinosaur land and each one of them is not playable again once it's completed super luigi galaxy after being the story mode of super mario galaxy you can replay the game as luigi everything remains the same as the original aside from you now being luigi you can even rescue luigi as luigi pretty weird hotel mario hotel mario is a puzzle slash platformer game released on the philips cdi it was published by royal phillips electronics who had acquired the rights to produce mario games released in june of 1994 in north america the game had low sales partially due to the lack of interest in the cdi system and received mainly poor reviews retrospectively hotel mario is generally considered one of the worst mario games ever made topping most worst mario game lists with most criticism of the game going toward its cut scenes nice of the princess to invite us over for a picnic eh luigi i hope she made lots of spaghetti luigi look despite the game's negative reception hotel mario has a massive cup following over time for the alleged so bad it's good nature of its animation and voice acting many internet memes specifically youtube poops were created because of the poor quality l plus r plus a equals luigi in new super mario bros after completing the game in the last scene of the credits it says select a file arrow l plus r plus a equals and then a silhouette of luigi's head if you follow the game's instructions by holding l r and a when selecting a file you will start the game as luigi he functions the same so the changes are purely cosmetic movie cartoon and comic there have been many adaptations of the mario series to varying degrees of success there were the cartoon shows from the late 80s and early 90s those shows being the super mario bros super show the adventures of super mario bros 3 and super mario world they have gained a cult following on the internet similar to hotel mario however people like the cartoons for good reasons there have been many comic adaptations the most popular being super mario adventures and super mario khan super mario adventures was originally serialized in nintendo power magazine in 12 installments between the january to december of 1992. the comic was written by kenturo takakuma and illustrated by charlie nazawa when the comic tells a large unique story it is loosely based on the events of super mario world featuring many of the same enemies and characters super mario khan is a japanese exclusive manga series written by yuku sawada they are comprised of retellings of various mario games including paper mario super mario sunshine mario and luigi partners in time super paper mario new super mario bros wii super mario odyssey and more doki doki panic yumi kojo doki doki panic is a japan exclusive game developed by nintendo in cooperation with fuji television to promote its event called yumikojo 87. it was later released outside of japan in an altered form using the name super mario bros 2 since the original super mario sequel super mario bros lost levels was deemed too similar and difficult for players in the west many of the game's enemies had become staple mario enemies though many were not intended to be at the time of their creation this includes shy guys birdos pokies ba-bombs and many others another thing to note is that mario luigi toad and princess peach's gameplay styles have been shaped by this game charles martin a charles martin a is a prominent voice actor of the mario games he voices several major characters including mario luigi wario waluigi yeah baby mario baby luigi metal mario and toadsworth and many other male characters in the mario series he has also provided the voices for some characters unintentionally such as bowser [Music] and the booze in super mario 64. martine crashed the auditions for mario and was asked to do an italian accent his recordings left so much of an impression they were the only ones they sent to nintendo l is real 2401 one of the most famous rumors surrounding super mario 64 was that luigi can be unlocked as a secret playable character people often cite the star statue in the courtyard of the castle as proof the statue has a plaque with small blurry characters that some people make out as l isreal2401 which supports the idea that luigi exists in the game after the discovery of this plaque many theories regarding the meaning of the ellis real message circulated some being that the number 2401 hinted at the method of unlocking luigi these pretty absurd methods including running 2 401 laps around the statue or collecting 2 401 coins in 1998 a fan sent a letter to nintendo of america asking about the message on the statue according to gameplay counselor michael d chandler's response letter the message had no actual meaning was only added as a joke to trick players into thinking it had a hidden meaning some people claim that the ella's real 2401 message instead refers to the release date of paper mario a game that luigi does appear in though not as a playable character apparently 2401 refers to the game's supposed north american release date of february 4 2001 even though the actual date was one day later on february 5th coincidentally due to the giga asset league of pre-release nintendo games a prototype model of luigi in super mario 64 was found and assembled on july 25th 2020 24 years and one month hence 2401 after the game was released minus world the minus world is a glitch in the original super mario bros it is a copy of world 7-2 that cannot be finished due to the pipe of dm being glitched and spawning the player back at the start meaning that once there mario's doomed to lose all his lives by running out of time the player can get to the minus world by going to world 1-2 and standing on the pipe that leads to the gold plot at the end of the level then after doing a series of jumps he will automatically move through the pipe and then through the wall and into the warp zone the glitch got its name from fans because the world level screen displays as world dash one this is because of a glitch in the panels displaying the numbers the minus world is actually world 36-1 but the game displays a blank graphic for the number 36 so all the player can see is the dash one part meaning negative one shigeru miyamoto shigeru miyamoto is a video game developer producer artist and currently acting representative director of nintendo best known for creating the creator of mario donkey kong zelda star fox and the pikmin series among others he joined the industry as a designer for character art in 1977 he is seen as one of the most influential nintendo and video game figures to ever exist infinite 1up foot shells in most 2d mario games if you repeatedly jump on a shell that bounces off a wall you will gain score points and eventually gain extra lives you can repeat this until you've capped the live system or time runs out berno's gender according to the north american instruction manual of super mario bros 2 he thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth he'd rather be called birdetta throughout the official guide bird was also constantly referred to as a he in japan bird was said to be a male who believes she is a female and prefers to be called by a nickname kathy rather than her real name catherine in super smash brothers brawl bertal's trophy description describes the character as gender indeterminate and uses the pronoun it rather than gender-specific pronouns such as he or she which has sometimes been used in other occurrences nintendo of america usually refers to birdo as female this is implied in mario kart 8 where she appears on the women's of racing organization advertisements in n64 royal raceway nintendo of europe however appears to counter this stance as the character is referred to with masculine pronouns in the british localizations of mario tenetases and super mario party it's been settled by many people in the community that berto is a transgender female the girl in the storybook is rosalina in the comment observatory in super mario galaxy you can find rosalina reading a storybook while never explicitly stated it is widely thought that the story is about rosalina the story is about how rosalina made it out to outer space and how she became the mother of the lumas before the events of super mario galaxy the story goes as follows a young rosalina finds a luma in a spaceship rosalina waits for the luma for its mother who is coming for him on a comet rosalina gets tired of waiting so the pair fix up the spaceship and set off along their journey they come across a comet luma gets excited however luma's mother was nowhere to be seen however they discover star bits and supplies from which they can build a home on the comet one night rosalina has a dream about her mother leaving her promising to watch over her as the sky does she awakens and starts crying over the grief of missing her mother and luma joins in eventually they complete their home on the comet though they acknowledge that it is quite large for just the two of them one day an apricot colored planet appeared and dozens of luma came from the planet they all shouted my mama my mama as they circled rosalina who then became the abductive mother of the lumas many days pass and she would find herself reminiscing about her home planet she recounts the stories about how she would stargaze with her father on a hill and sled down the hill in the winter with her brother upon recounting stories of her mother she once again breaks down homesick and distraught rosalina admits that her mother isn't washing over her from the stars but rather that she is sleeping under the tree on the hill revealing that she passed away and is buried there after several days of crying the first luma decides to thank rosalina for her love and care by transforming into a comet and helping her propel their home back to rolina's home planet realizing that she must now take on the role of mother to all the lumas on the comet she rises into the role and cares for all them as a family reminiscing about how one day each of them will grow up and move on to make their own destinies and how she would smile every time because that's what make a mother happiest still missing her home planet rosalina resolves to visit the plan every century on the comet allowing her to sleep in her favorite spot under the tree jumping over the flagpole in super mario bros back when the game first came out until the early 2000s people had rumored that it was possible to jump over the flagpole in the original super mario bros it was discovered that a glitch can be performed where you could jump over the flagpole the trick is about jumping to the top of the screen as the koopa troopa is about to fall off the top and bottom are somehow related so when the koopa gets out of his shell he will walk inside the ground you will then have to follow the koopa till the final part where you'll have to then jump on the koopa to get behind the flag now behind the flagpole isn't very interesting you just walk forever with infinitely repeating tiles however if the player were to disable the timer using a cheat code and continue running they'll eventually reach an area where the background and platform sprites become jumbled el piantissimo il piantissimo is a human disguised as a pianta that the player must race in super mario sunshine similar to koopa the quick races in super mario 64. he can be raced in the fifth episode of gelato beach and noki bay and the second episode of pianta village il piatto's name could be a portimo of the board's pianta whom he is dressed as and pianissimo which is italian for very soft when mario races against ilpiantisimo the two must head to a flag that represents the finish line if mario wins he gets a shine spray then completes the mission however mario loses his life if ilpian tisimo finishes first with his mask removed illipian tisimo's face resembles those of the legend of zelda ocarina of times running man and by extension the postman from the legend of zelda majora's mask this can also be seen in gameplay by looking through the mask's eye holes blue coins blue coins are a special type of coin that first appeared in super mario bros 3 and have since appeared in many later games they typically appear in large groups after a switch is pressed a timer will start and the blue coins will disappear once the timer runs out its most famous appearance was in super mario sunshine in this game blue coins appear as a rare collectible type of coin there are 240 blue coins total in the game 30 in each of the seven courses 19 in delfino plaza one in delfino airship and 10 in corona mountain by heading to the boathouse located in the west part of del pino plaza the player can trade blue coins for one shine sprite from the raccoons running the store meaning 24 shine sprites total are available using this method they do not affect the number of yellow coins that mario has collected however they restore two health points when collected the player receives the option to save their game for each blue coin they have blj backwards long jumps or bljs for short are a hyper speed glitch in super mario 64. the player must go to any set of long stairs and while on them face away from them now the player must perform a long jump as soon as mario jumps they must hold backwards on the control stick after they land the player has to repeatedly tap the a button and after a while mario should start zooming back at the very high speeds usually going through walls and doors this is most famous i use to get to the top of the endless stairs in peach's castle normally the game can register how fast mario can normally move however when the backwards long jump is performed mario can build up a lot of backwards velocity and the games not teleport mario properly because he reached the top too quickly this is also the way mario can go through walls this glitch has become an iconic part of the super mario 64 community and is heavily used for speed runs of the game blue toad and new super mario bros u deluxe when new super mario bros u deluxe released everyone thought that blue toad was replaced by toadette as he did not appear in any of the promotional material however on the character select screen if you scroll to the default yellow toad and press l or zl he will change to blue tone haunted sunken ship this is most likely in reference to the levels sunken go ship in super mario world this level serves as a gate to the valley of bowser mario has to swim through this haunted ship to make the doorway to world 7 come out of the sea on board the ship are some bullet bills mines koopas and a massive disappearing boob buddy swarm marking the only appearance of booze outside of ghost house in the game and thus the only time yoshi can be seen with ghosts in the game champions road champion's road is the final level in super mario 3d world it is comparable to the level's special a-crown of super mario 3d land the grand master galaxy of super mario galaxy 2 and the darker side of super mario odyssey designed to be the most challenging level in the game the level is relatively lengthy and contains no checkpoints or power-ups including the invincibility leaf it is available as soon as its world is unlocked which requires obtaining all green stores stamps and golden flags available this far the music that plays in this level is a rendition of gusty guardian galaxy's theme from super mario galaxy this arrangement is also available as a track and super smash bros for wii u and super smash bros ultimate where it can be heard on the mario galaxy stage or any other stage related to the mario series and ultimate autumn theme in super mario world the autumn is an unlockable alteration in super mario world this event changes the appearance of certain enemies and alters the color palette of the overall map of dinosaur land to reflect the fall season koopa troopas will wear mario halloween masks piranha plants will have a carved pumpkin where their heads usually are and both bills will turn into birds the theme is unlocked by completing the level funky in the special zone of super mario world once you beat the level the changes will take effect there were rumors that beating the game a second time would unlock a winter mode however this purely speculation and was false the perfect run the perfect run is the second mission of the grand master galaxy in super mario galaxy 2 and is subsequently the final mission of the game this mission can only be played after two conditions have been met the player needs to have collected the comet metal from the previous mission and the player needs to have 9999 star bits stored with the bank toad it is comparable to the level special 8 crown of super mario 3d land champions rode from super mario 3d world and the darker side of super mario odyssey designed to be the most challenging level in the game music from super mario galaxy also plays during this mission including the themes of gusty guardian galaxy good egg galaxy bowser's galaxy reactor

darker side from super mario odyssey super mario galaxy 121st star this is the 121st and true final star in super mario galaxy found in the grand finale galaxy to unlock it you must collect all 120 stars and defeat bowser with both mario and luigi once you do you can access this galaxy from the planet of charles in the center just speak to the luma to launch off to the galaxy you're mr gay this refers to the logo for super mario galaxy on the logo some letters of the logo contain a small twinkle if these letters are singled out and read together the result is you're mr gay leading some to suggest that the twinkles may be a hidden message created by the logo artist to add more to this rabbit hole in super mario galaxy 2's logos the sparkles are still present but have been rearranged they now spell out u-r-m-i-a-y although this can be interpreted as yeah i am are you if you read it is most likely that these logos simply arrange the twinkles to be aesthetically pleasing with any messages being unintentional but you never know new super mario bros walkthrough part 22. this is referring to a 22nd part of a new super mario bros gameplay series in which this video had received the guinness world record for the most viewed gameplay walkthrough video on youtube this video was uploaded june 8th of 2008 at the time of writing this the video has gained 35 million 978 thousand and 146 views aside from that it's just a standard gameplay video march 31st 2021 march 31st 2021 has become a meme within the nintendo community and has been labeled mario's death day this is the result of march 31st 2021 officially marking the end of mario's 35th anniversary which will make super mario 3d all-stars and super mario bros 35 unavailable to buy or download hidden coin stacks coin stacks first appeared in new super mario bros 2 although only on the title screen they first appeared as collectible items in super mario 3d world coin stacks are ordinary coins that are stacked up in piles that each have different amounts the coins act as they normally do giving an extra light for collecting a hundred of them coin stacks can be found in hidden areas of levels such as the underground area of really rolling hills coin stacks reappear in captain toe treasure tracker and super mario odyssey acting as they did in 3d world globe plays songs this is about the globe on the odyssey in super mario odyssey if you jump on the globe the globe will start playing a music box rendition of jump up superstar waluigi and super mario 64 ds similar to allegations of an unlockable luigi in super mario 64 rumors surfaced about unlocking waluigi as a playable character in super mario 64 ds as the other three plumbers mario luigi and wario were unlockable waluigi's absence seemed suspicious to many fans while not nearly as popular as the l is real these rumors were still fairly popular for a while thanks to fake leaks and doctored images one rumor claimed that you would unlock waluigi upon 100 in completing the game the player would need to collect every power star and unlock every mini-game the rumor then claims that by defeating bowser and reaching the top of princess peach's castle waluigi can be found and talking to him would unlock him this was quickly debunked as waluigi does not appear on the top of the castle after meeting these conditions however the rumor that gave him the most notoriety was purple prizes in 2005 deviantart user king bowser koopa posted an image scan of an article titled purple prizes and name the submission waluigi in super mario 64 ds this article suggests that waluigi can be unlocked in the game and provides hints toward unlocking him ultimately sending the player on a wild goose chase final the stars would be the fastest foot racer in the land afterward a secret switch will reveal my door all that reveals is a challenge for the rabbit king for its key many sources claim that this article is featured on ign or an issue of nintendo power this article featured a custom 3d model of waluigi placed in various game locations such as bob on battlefield cool cool mountain and the castle grounds according to this article waluigi had springy jumps and his power flower transformation would be the fast-moving warp speed waluigi players interpreted this article's vague hints in various ways to try and unlock waluigi to no avail two days after posting this image king bowser cooper revealed that the image was merely an april fool's joke super mario galaxy more after nintendo completed super mario galaxy shigeru miyamoto approached the development team and suggested that a follow-up should be produced the game was originally planned to do just variations on the original game's plans and then call the game super mario galaxy more it was supposed to be more of an expansion on the original than a new game gold train world 5-train often dubbed the golden express is a level in super mario 3d world it can be accessed by going through the warp pipe in front of world five's king to thunk castle go through the pipe and you will emerge on a small island with three other pipes if you enter the top one you'll get to another small island with the gold train stage the level itself is just a gold train with many coin stacks coin race and other coin related things hell valley sky trees the hello valley sky fees are an urban legend revolving around super mario galaxy 2. in shiver burn galaxy players can enter at any point in first person mode and look up in the background visible on top of the mountainous landscape that makes up the skybox are three strange figures a tall figure standing next to a short one and another small figure a short distance away these figures are visible from any point in the level but they never move and can never be interacted with not only that but the game never acknowledges their presence they appear as large lanky black creatures with creepy whole looking eyes why they are creepily observing you is just unknown they've been theorized to be many things but the most believable theory are that they are kodima tree spirits from japanese folklore that very much resemble the hell valley sky trees a person by the name of gir tacos is notable for having hacked into the game's files and discovered the texture files for the three figures the model for the mountain background is called beyond hell valley sky and the texture for the figures themselves are called hell valley skytree so long gay bowser during several frostbites of super mario 64 mario must grab bowser by the tail and spin him around several times before tossing him into a bomb with each toss mario can be heard saying so long king bowser in an italian accent which many have misheard the line as so long gay bowser this line has become a meme in the super mario 64 community and is notable piece of mario 64's presence on the internet raccoon mario and super mario world beta in the media we have from the beta of super mario world raccoon mario can be seen in place of cape mario raccoon mario was either a placeholder for the eventual cape feather power-up or the concept of cape mario never came to fruition until much later in development for a time the leaf and resulting raccoon mario may have been the default flying power from mario in the game there are also snes test cartridges which among other things include leftover graphics from an early build of super mario world these cartridges reveal mario's early sprites with the super leaf equipped red yoshi in new super mario bros wii red yoshis were set to appear in new super mario bros wii they were even featured in early promotional material for the game however when the final game came out they replaced with pink yoshi's it's even stranger because super mario world had red yoshis but not pink yoshis this game has every color of yoshi from super mario world but not the red ones daisy was created by miyamoto's mentor this is in reference to shigeru miyamoto's mentor ganpai okoye unlike the rest of the mario series super mario land was not developed by miyamoto but by okoye he created the game and as this game is the first appearance of princess daisy this would mean he created daisy as well inactive mega leg this is in reference to a glitch involving mecha leg from super mario galaxy when the player lives on the first planet they must find the glass cage containing the launch star and triple jump off of it the second jump must land on top of the glass cage then the player should triple jump off the glass cage and spin at the highest point of the jump if successful the player will fall to mega leg's moon but it will not be activated so the player can run all over mega lag but the bullet bills will not be fired and the cogwheels will not move however if the player goes to the point where they have landed if they have used the launch star the cutscene will play and mega leg will be activated mario and friends and kirby superstar in kirby superstar when you are fighting in a ring you will see mario luigi birdo and toad cheering you on in its remake on the ds while fighting king dedede in the wrestling ring you can see mario luigi peach wario and two toads in the audience starman fort early in the development of super mario galaxy a plant known as starman fort was to be included in the game the planet was composed of a large castle-like structure as well as a construction zone and a snowy area the zone contained a boss that is referred to as boss crab it is thought that this boss is an early version of megaleg shindo paktayo shindo paktayo or romopak compatible in english is a version of super mario 64 released in japan on july 18th 1997 that includes rumble pack support this game is the same as the international release of the game as it retains all the glitch fixes as well as graphical and sound changes the game was notorious for fixing the backers long jump glitch and removing the so long gay bowser line [Music] this first was released on the virtual console on wii in japan on december 2nd 2006 then on the wii u in april 8th of 2015 and would later be used in super mario 3d all-stars mario enemies and links awakening in the legend of zelda link's awakening goombas piranha plants chain chomps and even swamps appear in several dungeons they behave very similar to their mario counterparts in these areas shigeru miyamoto who created the zelda series also created the mario series allowing both series to use characters from the others universe 4-4 ghost this is in reference to the level 4-4 in super mario 3d land at the end of the level if you stand by the fence behind the flagpole wait for a number of seconds a ghostly figure will appear slowly out of the background once enough time passes it will unexpectedly open its mouth wide and flash while fading out at the same time the sphere closely resembles the hell valley sky trees from shipper burn galaxy in super mario galaxy 2. super mario 128. super mario 128 is the name of a series of projects by nintendo to create a sequel to super mario 64 much like the canceled game super mario 64.2 which is different which we'll get to later it was first shown as a tech demo at space world 2000 the project experiment with new technology and ideas to incorporate into later games a demo of the project was released by nintendo the demo featured a giant 3d sprite of mario and then one by one one pixel box will move around and become a mario this would repeat until the 128 mario's were on screen at once they would run around push each other until the plane they were on would reset and turn into a pizza and then all the mario could fall off and the demo would reset other features of the demo included use of rapid generation later used in pikmin and sphere walking later using the legend of zelda twilight princess and super mario galaxy during his keynote speech at the game developers conference in 2007 shigeru miyamoto revealed what actually happened to super mario 128. what happened to mario 128 said miyamoto at the end of his keynote most of you already played it the screen then transitioned from mario 128 to pikmin infinite flutter this is in reference to a glitch in super mario galaxy 2. with this glitch as long as you have yoshi you can go any place in any level for a long period of time this glitch can be frustrating to exploit but once you master it it's very useful to perform this glitch you will first need yoshi then you will start by performing a basic flutter jump after that you need to crouch then quickly release z and flutter again you can perform this glitch until you mess up if you do you will either fall on a platform or to your demise bowser's fury alt skins this refers to how you earn new skins for plessy bowser jr and cat mario after reaching certain milestones in bowser's fury for example bowser jr resembles meows or after getting all 100 cat shines

binoculars you can look at in the beginning of the level if you look up you'll be able to see a white ufo flying by before disappearing to never be acknowledged in the game again super mario bros 3 in the wizard the wizard is a film directed by todd holland released by universal studios in december 15 1989 that stars luke edwards fred savage and jenny lewis the movie featured several cameos and direct references to nintendo related products as well as manual video games released for the nintendo entertainment system due to this this movie has been called a commercial for nintendo but has nevertheless gained a cult following it is also notable for being the first introduction of super mario bros 3 to north american audiences and the game is featured prominently in the climax of the film the film received lukewarm reviews from critics multiple newspapers critics labeled it as a feature-length commercial for universal studios hollywood and nintendo rodri ebert of the chicago sun times called the film a cynical exploitation film with a lot of commercial plugs and insanely overwritten and ineptly filmed he later called it one of the worst films of 1989. it that really you after beating the story mode of super mario 64 you unlock the canon outside and can launch to the roof of peach's castle once there you can talk to yoshi and he will talk about how he hasn't seen him in a while however he starts off his speech with a grammatical error he was intended to say mario is that really you it's been so long since our last adventure but in the final game he says mario it that really you this error surprisingly still appears in super mario 3d all-stars secret challenge mode challenge mode is a harder mode in new super mario bros it has a few different block locations and does not allow the player to scroll the screen backwards similar to the original mario games challenge mode can be accessed in the start menu after finishing the game and pressing the following buttons l r l r x x y [Music] y double bombless double bomb listed as speedrunning strategy for new super mario bros wii in the level world 8 airship at the end of the level there is a fight with bowser jr in which he is in a clown car as opposed to the ground pounding the floor so junior's bombs bounce back at him you use the propeller suit to ground pound him twice it's a difficult trick but certainly not impossible first shine in bianco hills is optional this refers to how you're able to skip the first shine in bianco hills despite the game never notifying you of this it's the only non-bonus shine in the game that you can skip without glitches rocket storage this is in reference to a trick in super mario sunshine when you have the rocket nozzle and charge it up before it fires you jump so it's time you'll hit the ground around the time it would normally launch you in the air if done correctly it'll fire but you'll stay on the ground however the rocket jump is still stored so if you sidestep from this point off a ledge it'll fire as you walk off sending you even higher than you normally go you can even charge up a second jump as you go flying allow you to gain even more height hammer suit slide glitch in super mario bros 3 when you crouch with the hammer suit equipped you hide in the shell however if you equip the hammer suit while in the middle of doing a sliding animation a rare sprite can be seen where hammer mario is sliding golden raccoon mario statue after collecting 9 million 999 999 coins in new super mario bros 2 a golden statue of raku mario can be seen on the title screen alongside all the coins you've collected trampoline stew trampoline stews are beta enemies that were originally planned to appear in super mario sunshine they were featured in the space world trailer but never made it to the final release however its files still exist in the final game their only attack was to run into the player or simply drop a swoop in stew or a stroll and stew however no group was found near trampoline stew for a swoop instead to occur star toads this is in reference to the fact that in an early demo of super mario galaxy lumos were actually just toads with stars on their heads instead of spots hence the name star toads watermelons with 9999 star bits in super mario galaxy and super mario galaxy 2 watermelons will appear when the player corrects 9999 star bits after doing so they replace all the coconuts found in the game a watermelon also appears in the deep dark galaxy inside the watermelon planet fury bowser resembles black bowser this refers to the fact that fury bowser from bowser's fury looks very similar to black bowser for those who aren't aware black bowser is the final boss and antagonist of paper mario color splash bowser accidentally created black paint in the prisma fountain and the black paint had possessed him both he and fury bowser are quite similar in color however fury bowser has red hair whereas black bowser does not black bowser also looks like bowser is just covered in paint whereas fury bowser looks like he is just colored black yoshi plan for super mario bros this is quite well known so i'm not sure why it's this low nevertheless this is referring to the fact that yoshi or some kind of rideable dinosaur was planned for super mario rose you've mostly seen this sketch by shigeru miyamoto of 8-bit mario riding a dinosaur mario states he wanted to add a rideable companion but couldn't do the nes's hardware restraints so miyamoto would have to wait five years until super mario world to add in the lovable dinosaur a strange old man in a white coat this is a line spoken by bowser jr in super mario sunshine the strange old man in the white coat this is in reference to professor e gad a character from the luigi's mansion series who has slowly appeared in mario titles chicken suit this is in reference to a planned but cut power-up for new super mario bros wii the only piece of media we have depicting the power-up is this one piece of concept art we don't know its purpose or effects on the characters who use it the idea was eventually changed into the penguin suit and they both look visually similar with both of them being animal suits with their face exposed the chicken suit does however appear in volume 44 of super mario khan the japanese manga series which he had previously talked about he just looked like a larry when super mario bros 3 was being created the koopalings weren't given names and it stayed that way up until the release of the game in japan in japan the game or the manual doesn't state their names enter dov brooks who was a localizer for nintendo of america he would help localize games by improving the writing quality of basic japanese to english translations when brooke had seen the koopalings didn't have any names he decided to give them some due to brook's love of music he named them after famous singers roy cooper is named after american rock and roll singer roy orberson due to his sunglasses martin cooper jr was named after american talk show host morton downey jr because he thought he looked like a loudmouth blu-ray von cooper was named after a composer lulu von beethoven because he thought their hairstyles looked similar wendy okupo was named after punk rock singer when d.o williams led me cooper was named after the lead singer of the metal band motorhead let me kill mr iggy cooper was named after the punk rock singer iggy pop and finally there was this guy who he named larry he had no reason he said in interviews that he just looked like a larry ice mario and flying mario in super mario galaxy 2. this refers to how the ice and flying powers would have returned in super mario galaxy 2 however they sadly did not appear in the final game however if you use hacks you can reinsert them in the game purple rabbit this is once again a reference to waluigi being in super mario 64 ds beta screenshots of super mario 64 ds show that a purple rabbit existed in early versions but were removed for the final game in the game each character has rabbits unique to them yoshis are yellow mario's are red luigi's are green and wario's are orange so it makes sense that the purple rabbit would be wall luigi's some fans assume that catching this bunny would give the player a key to a waluigi door unlocking him as a playable character however as i mentioned there is no such rabbit color in the final game and it is not certain what the purple rabbit would have done interestingly one of the beta purple rabbits can be found on page 30 of the official super mario 64 ds instruction book the placement of the image implies that it would have been locked minigames like the other rabbits rosalina's early design first appearing in super mario galaxy rosalind used to have a vastly different design her hair was done up in a circular way revealing both her eyes and her dress more resembled that of peaches i do prefer her current design but this one is certainly interesting new super mario bros co-op multiplayer this is referring to the beta and e3 trailers of new super mario bros there was a planned multiplayer mode between mario and luigi where they would cooperate to finish a level similar to the online mode in new super mario bros 2. scrapped flood nozzles during the development of super mario sunshine it was stated that flood was planned to feature a water gun nozzle but the idea was scrapped due to a controversy in the united states at the time it is unknown what this controversy was however super mario 64.2 super mario 64 2 was a planned project by nintendo to make a direct sequel to super mario 64. this rumor expansion and sequel to super mario 64 called super mario 64.2 was had to be developed for the nintendo 64 disc drive but was cancelled due to the 64 dd's commercial failure miyamoto mentioned at e3's august 1997 convention that he was just getting started on the project at space world in november of 1997 miyamoto added we haven't decided whether it's two player yet we are currently working with a system where mario and luigi can co-exist and they are both controllable by the player but we will decide more game elements when we finish everything about zelda we're in the middle of preparing mario 64 2 for the release on the 64 dd i'd like to take advantage of the 64 dd's ability to store information as of now luigi is a full part of the game but we haven't started thinking about two-player gameplay with mario and luigi yet we'll tackle that once we got the system ironed out we figured out the processing power issues so we could do it if we tried in november 1999 miyamoto said well for over a year now at my desk a prototype program of mario and luigi has been running around on my monitor we've been thinking about the game and it may be something that we can work on for a completely new game system the game had only one level made for it miyamoto claimed that multiplayer functionality was the first aspect of the game that he wanted to include miyamoto had considered the two next frontiers of the super mario series to be a gameplay mechanic of walking on a rotating sphere and coincidentally ascending in space this sphere walking in space theme would later become super mario galaxy chocolate factory level the chocolate factory level is an urban legend revolving around super mario bros in one of his how to win nintendo game guide books author jeff rovin mentioned that he heard rumors of a secret level hidden in the game a level taking place in a chocolate factory he claimed that he had no idea where or how to access it but the suggestion of a secret level was all fans needed to start digging through the game to find it as it turns out the myth was nothing more than a prank on rovin's part mega mushroom in new super mario rose wii new super mario bros wii was originally going to have the mega mushroom power up return from the previous game we know this because in the files of new super mario bros wii there exists a model of a cracked pipe just like the ones in new super mario bros it would have transformed the player into a mega mario however this caused a problem in multiplayer because the player who used it would be able to destroy everything while also taking up a big part of the screen that would limit other player's movement as the screen would get bigger for the player's size increase to be seen every other player would have been even smaller which would have been hard not fun to control so ultimately the mega mushroom was removed centaur power up while developing super mario bros 3 the designs want to have a folklore creature powerup so they are planning to add a power up based on a centaur for those who aren't aware a centaur is a half-man half-horse creature the power-up however was replaced with another forklord animal being the chanuki booze laugh as bowser's laugh sped up like we previously mentioned charles martin nate unintentionally voiced his characters in super mario 64. the reason being that martine has done loads of voice work he has also done voice acting for sound libraries for those who aren't aware sound libraries are a group of sound effects that people can use for free or for a small fee to put in their work the original voice clip used was of charles martinez laughing from a sound library it was sped up for boo's laugh and bowser's laugh [Music] s 4-1 exploit this is referring to a glitch in the level s 4-1 from super mario 3d land you activate the moving platform at the beginning of the stage and quickly stand on the edge of the platform on the nearest side what's supposed to happen is enemies will spawn on the platform as mario moves through the stage but by standing on the edge you'll never enter the trigger for the enemies to spawn until the platform is empty this can continue all the way up to the piranha plants appear midway through giga mushroom the giga mushroom is an unused power up in super mario 3d world plus bowser's fury it would have made mario giant like the gigabit except he wouldn't have had the cat suit or its abilities he would just be mega mario which would make sense because the model for the giga mushroom was just an angry mega mushroom with a red-assed egg the mystery goomba this is referring to a goomba in the level bowser in the sky from super mario 64. there is a trio of goombas at the end of the level however as soon as they load in one of the goombas spawns off the edge he spawns on the death barrier for one frame before disappearing the mystery goomba was found by pen and coach 2012 who is a very influential figure in the super mario 64 community in super mario 64 when you kill a goomba they produce a coin and because you can't kill this goomba its coin has been deemed impossible i'll delfino on globe within the promotional material for super mario odyssey there is an image of a map and on the lower left of the map is what appears to be isle delfino however al duffy does not appear on the map in the final game eely mouth stomach this is in reference to the giant eel boss in nokia city from super mario sunshine the eel has its esophagus and stomach model with a significant amount of polygons meaning there was work put into it even though one of its attacks involves swallowing mario the camera never follows him inside so the insides are never seen it is unknown why the inside was so detailed it's possible that he would have gone inside him for a specific reason but that's just speculation the impossible coin in october 2016 pan co-op 2012 once again discovered an impossible coin and tiny huge island the enlarged version of the course was found to have had a line of four coins even though all other lines of coins in super mario 64 contained five coins he showed that there was indeed a fifth coin that activates a fail safe that no other coin in the game activates causing it to be immediately removed from play leaving only four coins in the line rosalina with a guitar this refers to some concept art for rosalina and super mario odyssey this concept art depicts her in jeans and a t-shirt and holding a guitar this is very strange as this does not fit rosalina's normal attire of a regal dress with teals and blues this implies that at one point she may have been one of the musicians in new donk city human in super mario sunshine in the first trailer of super mario sunshine sewn in 2001 a realistically proportioned human girl appears for a brief moment as mario runs past this character must have been quickly scrapped as no other sunshine beta content showed any trace of this character since shigeru miyamoto has stated that super mario odyssey is a continuation of gameplay ideas from sunshine the realistic human shown in odyssey may be an attempt to bring back this concept kug kug is an unused placeholder enemy in super mario sunshine he somewhat resembles a paper goomba with blue shoes apparently he was some sort of joke among the developers however kug can be seen underneath the map of peanut park in episode 8 for whatever reason if you try to jump on him he will simply electrocute you super tanooki skin 2d after the release of super mario 3d land the animal rights group people for ethical treatment of animals otherwise known as peta created a website entitled mario kills tsunuki along with an accompanying flash game to promote their anti-fur campaign about the live skinning of raccoon dogs or tanookies the game entitled super tanuki skin 2d stars the character of a tanuki a skinless animal who is chasing mario to get his skin back the game has the player dodge obstacles to catch up to mario who is wearing his skin and flying ahead of the tanuki when the player wins a game a message reads you mario this skin belongs to an animal this resulted in strong backlash from nintendo who released a statement concerning the issue mario often takes the appearance of certain animals and objects in his games these have included a frog a penguin a balloon and even a metallic version of himself these lighthearted and whimsical transformations give mario different abilities to make his games fun to play the different forms that mario takes makes no statement beyond the games themselves a spokesperson from peta later claimed that their allegations were tongue-in-cheek a fun way to call attention to a serious issue that these raccoon dogs were skinned alive for their fur however the website remained unchanged and is still currently active the game and the stunt were widely criticized for being absurd and not well researched hidden train in toy time galaxy in the level toy time galaxy from super mario galaxy as mario has launched toward the starting planet an accessible train can be seen passing by by hacking it has shown that this train has collision even though the player cannot normally get to it most likely mean that the train was a scrap part of the touchable map and would have been used where mario can make contact with it blog in super mario 64. first appearing in super mario world blogs or lava creatures that tried to eat mario blogs were originally going to appear in super mario 64 as enemies and leave the lava land bowser in the fire sea and for some reason wing mario over the rainbow as they were found in the game's coding if you use cheat codes the player can make them appear on the level being fully functional and with animations a hitbox and a complete model aside from the lack of eyes laser suit the lancer suit legend is an urban legend revolving around a hidden power up in super mario world sometime in late 2006 a video surfaced on youtube supposedly showing an alternate exit in the game's top secret area level this exit involved entering an invisible warp pipe between the two item blocks on the left side of the top secret area going through this pipe would lead to a secret level called question mark question mark question mark which contained a tip block containing a congratulatory note from nintendo and the secret laser suit the lasers who had all the power-ups of the cape feather as well as the ability to fire lasers in november of 2006 it was real that the video was a hoax a hack made by the user k phoenix who made it in order to see who would be fooled by it super mario 64 temporary a demo was found of super mario 64 where was labeled as super mario 64 temporary this implies that at one point there was going to be a different title for the game but it got scrapped towed under delfino plaza in delfino plaza from super mario sunshine there was a yellow toad present underneath the map running around near the blue coin he's below the map because when the map is loaded he runs and falls into the water which makes him cross the ground this oversight was fixed in the europe australian release yellow cap switch the yellow caps which is an unused object in super mario 64. there are only three switches encountered in gameplay red green and blue corresponding to the wing cap metal cap and vanish cap respectively in the game's files however there is a fourth twitch which is yellow a transparent version of the yellow box is associated within the files according to the decompilation of super mario 64 when the yellow capsule should be activated they were intended to give the player a koopa shell the usage of the yellow box was kept in the final game for a few of them being used for stars and coins red coins in a bottle book this refers to the noki bay book in super mario sunshine the book is an oddly placed object found in the mission red coins in a bottle the book is placed inside a rock formation at the beginning of the titular bottle behind a door that does not open glitches allow both mario and the camera to clip inside these rocks and view the secret book the common theory is that an early version of the game had a mission where mario would retrieve the book and bring it to the nokia elder for a shine sprayed hacking to reach the book reels that has no collision and cannot be interacted with the textures of the book are similarly rumored to include a message from shigeru miyamoto written in japanese which would apparently say you have no life signed shigeru miyamoto however this sounds quite fabricated due to the uncharacteristically insulting tone of the message as well as the fact that the texture is relevant to the book don't appear to be easily accessible online playable peach and wario in new super mario bros wii this refers to how supposedly in two separate interviews miyamoto said that peach and wario were planned to appear as playable characters in new super mario bros wii he said however that peach was cut due to difficulties animating her dress and weirdly wario was cut due to difficulties making a way for him to fart dying in the credits of super mario galaxy 2. the end credits of super mario galaxy 2 are unique because they're actually playable it's possible to control mario as the developer names ticks by allowing him to explore smaller environments based on levels from the game a b mushroom power-up will also appear in one of these playable scenes using the power up to leave the area causes an instant death it also causes the two bad and the end messages to show up at the same time bananas above peanut park this is in reference to some bananas floating in midair high above the peanut park map from super mario sunshine similar to how kug can only be found in the eighth mission of peanut park these bananas can only be found in the fourth mission you cannot get up to these bananas without using cheats it is unknown why it was placed here or what its purpose was test 11 this refers to an unused map in the code of super mario sunshine the map is named test 11 and can be accessed in the us and european versions with cheat codes the textures it uses are the same as test maps from various other games including the legend of zelda the wind waker it contains various objects and terrain including the unused soccer objects and the hinokuri enemy the files also contain an early sky model though it is not used in the scene strangely an ineffective layer of the unused quicksand goop is present fairly high above the terrain which only appears as bubbles when mario was nearby the test map was removed in the japanese version and some of the unused objects featured in the map were removed or replaced in the european version blue goober blooper in an early screenshot from super mario sunshine the grouper blooper was blue instead of white i assume this was changed to match the color of regular bloopers and because it may have been difficult to see the ink on his face especially for colorblind people this screenshot even shows him in a location in which he never appears in the final game in the final game he only appears in noki bay the market in rico harbor and the helipad enrico harbour however this screenshot showed that he was originally going to appear on the bridges in rico harther either in addition to or instead of the final game's locations double cherry concept came from a mistake by a developer this refers to how the double cherry power up from super mario 3d world was inspired by a coding mistake we know this because it was revealed in an iwata asks interview we actually we discovered that a staff member made a mistake with the placement tool and put in two player marios when we saw that we thought it was great so we went ahead and put that in the game scrupulous finger this is referring to a supposed character appearing in new super mario bros in a tweet by cut and obscure video game content they claim that a mysterious character known only as scrupulous underscore fengor can be found in the files of the game potentially as a cut enemy they also claim that when the enemy was brought up to miyamoto he got noticeably upset the tweet contained a screenshot in-game and a photo of his model other people started tweeting about scrupulous fengore being in the code of other games such as super mario 64 ds paper mario color splash and super mario advance 4. however scripturous thing gore is not a real character and was simply an internet hoax beta delfino plaza during the flood when you beat shadow mario in every stage you're sent to a flooded version of delfino plaza when playing normally you're supposed to chase shadow mario into corona mountain from here but if you take the time to explore the map things are a bit different from the normal map some players think this version of delfino plaza is actually from a beta build of the game there's bad collision detection weird texture glitches and a differently placed manholes however take this with a grain of salt as this is all just speculation i guess bowser is on vacation this refers to a line said by the character gex in the game gex enter the gecko interestingly enough the line only appears to be in the playstation version of the game despite the game also being on the nintendo 64. rejected mcdonald's sponsorship back in the late 80s yoichi kotabe was an animation artist who was brought in to redesign the mario cast when the fast food chain mcdonald's caught wind of this information they wanted to make a sponsorship deal with nintendo they felt that mario's original m on his hat looked very similar to their golden arches and wanted the m to be changed to their loko it's safe to say that this sponsorship didn't happen as mario's m was made to be more angular than round luigi blue cap luigi's blue cap refers to how in the japanese anime movie super mario bros the great mission to rescue princess peach luigi was depicted wearing a blue cap instead of a green one this was before luigi's modern colors were decided he also wore a yellow shirt instead of a green one what makes the blue cap so notable is how it was in both the movie and was on the box art interestingly enough luigi has a smash bros alt resembling his outfit here the shirt is greener than yellow but it's still most likely a reference orange slash s mario orange s mario refers to an unused graphic in super mario 3d world the graphic is of mario wearing an orange cap and black overalls and are accompanied by an orange s it is unknown what purpose these graphics were meant to serve they may have been placeholders but you'll never know super mario odyssey prototype in a fire emblem warriors direct feed video done by the youtube channel game explain there was a super mario odyssey prototype shown for a few seconds at the start of the video it had an early logo for the switch menu and even had a build date in its title there was no gameplay shown so it's unknown how game explain acquired this build now finished the game was in this state it can be assumed that nintendo's game explained this build for review but that is your speculation mario and kirby masterpiece ova mario and kirby masterpiece is an educational game only released in japan and stars mario and kirby both on their own separate adventures it is aimed at teaching young children kanji chinese characters due to its obscurity copies of the film can be extremely hard to find especially outside of japan it was released for vhs in 1995 by hal laboratory the studio behind kirby mario's story starts when the treasure of a school has been stolen by wario princess peach informs mario of this incident and he goes looking for him mario turns into rabbit mario and then he tracks down wario and defeats him whose plane tumbles down to the ground the treasure was rescued though mario was shocked because the treasure was revealed to be only school books kirby's story starts when he finds a puppy who has lost his mother kirby finds out that the dog's mother has been captured by king dedede and is now trapped in castle deity after being told by the moon that king ddd was the culprit kirby searches for him and finds out that the king was only taking care of the mothers her paw with a sigh kirby heads back home impossible rocket nozzle this is referring to a hidden rocket nozzle box inside the east bell tower in delfina plaza from super mario sunshine if you stand on the first 10 legs of the tower face the grand pianta statue press wide enter first person mode and look up you'll be able to see the nozzle box [Music] world s-8 uses an instrumental version of the mario drawing song for those who aren't aware the mario drawing song is an animation song made using the flipnote studio game for the nintendo ds it was created and released by nintendo to promote a mario themed competition on the application it uses chiptune instruments and sound effects from the games while using fun easy to understand lyrics on how to draw a mario face the song's melody was used in world special 8's theme from super mario 3d land this is the only world 8 theme in the series to have a happy and unthreatening sound iggy uses larry's hair in super mario world in super mario world iggy koopa's hair is slicked back however this is an oversight due to iggy's mistakenly using a hair graphical tile from larry's hair here's what his hair was supposed to look like in his appearance in the super mario world game style of super mario maker 2 his hair is based on the unused correct hair super hornio brothers super horn your brothers is a two-part parody of the super mario series starring ron jeremy released in 1993. the film features a man named squeegee hornio and his brother ornio parodies of luigi and mario respectively who fall into a computer's black void and are stuck there a sequel entitled super horny bros 2 was released later that year shortly after the film came out its distribution rights were quickly bought by nintendo making any release impossible it had disappeared from the face of the earth until july of 2008. a user on the something awful website was tipped off by a forum post claiming there was a primary parody of the super mario bros upon being confirmed as real the site attempted to buy the film through retailers with no luck eventually an anonymous user gave something awful a dvd rip of the sequel super horn your brothers 2 in june of 2009 the first movie however hasn't been found and has been dubbed lost media unused goop maps unused goop maps refers to some unused map in super mario sunshine however these maps are a bit different than normal maps these maps were used by developers to determine where a group would be in certain stages here are some of the most notable ones here's an unused group map for the previously mentioned test 11 map showing the unused trampoline stew enemy running around here's another unused goop map for test 11 showing the silhouette of the aforementioned kug here is an unused goop map for noki city with the word stupid in japanese written on it the reason it's labeled as stupid is because noki city is completely underwater it would make no sense how goop would be washed away with water if it's already in an underwater area finally there is one more unused scoop map that is particularly notable it is an unused group map for bianco hills that looks extremely creepy it shows what is either a goomba or kug a piranha plant some kind of circular fuzzy thing and this thing it has what seems to be a bony hand coming out of its body and a very disturbing looking face mario is missing is not luigi's first soul game for those who aren't aware mario's missing is a multi-platform educational game starring luigi it was received poorly and was always thought of the first game where luigi was the main character this however is not true as three years before mario's missing was released there was another game starring luigi called luigi's hammer toss luigi's hammer toss was a game and watch game released in 1990 and involves luigi deflecting hammers thrown by hammer bros it's very hard to find footage or information of the game nowadays so don't expect to find much if you look it up playable bowser in new super mario bros beta this refers to a secret screening of an early version of new super mario bros at e3 2004 we still do not have any footage from this screening and has also been dubbed lost media we only know this happened because of nintendo world reporter chris martino and his write-up on the game he states at the end of the footage he was shown bowser was running through the level stomping enemies breaking bricks and even jumping on the flagpole as we all know however bowser does not appear as a playable character in the final game only being the boss there is no coding for him in the final game and there has been no information about him besides this meeting the impossible dry bones in the level starshine beach galaxy in super mario galaxy 2 there's a drive owns out of bounds he spawns just above the death barrier and since he's directly above the death barrier he dies as soon as he is spawned this is extremely bizarre because there is no other dry bones anywhere in the level other than that one so it's hard to believe it was an accident this is very similar to the mystery goomba as they are both spawn on the death barrier for one frame however there are goombas in that level here there aren't any as they don't fit with the beach aesthetic the happy face sprite this is one of the most obscure pieces of mario history no one can figure out what it was made for no one knows its purpose it has never appeared in any form of super mario media it simply exists as a mysterious sprite no one can figure out in the code of super mario bros 2 a sprite can be found of a white smiley face this can be found with the desert level sprites it is present in the prototype build the final build and the original doki doki panic the face's features are noticeably off-center it makes you think what was this made for why was it made it was just a placeholder then why wouldn't they just use a black or white square no they actually made a face it seemed that this face is unknown to most people those who have heard of it state that it leaves them with an unsettling feeling they've said for being such a simple and meaningless sprite it leaves them with a haunting effect an urge they can't describe and maybe that's just it maybe this is a meaningless spray and we as people see it as something much darker this might not even be referring to the sprite itself or super mario bros 2 or the mario series or even video games it could be referring to the fact that we as people fear the unknown things like the sprite have no information know nothing about it and it makes us so uneasy so maybe it's not about the happy face at all maybe it's about us and that is the end of the iceberg but that's not it of course now we will interview the creator of this iceberg knight or john and go over corrected entries fan suggested entries and the future of these icebergs also if you're enjoying the video and want to see more hit that subscribe button and read the notification bell to make sure you don't miss any more icebergs or videos [Music] all right and here we are with my good pal and creator of this iceberg now you're john how you feeling today john ah i'm feeling good happy to be i'm gonna be interviewed by you at last i i i say it last if i'm waiting for this forever no no no of course so i'm just gonna get into the questions so why don't you tell the audi uh the audience about yourself where are you from what do you like to do anything you want to mention oh well oh come on i suppose my life is pretty simple really i i i don't live in i don't live in america right despite my accent you might think i live in america i don't i just have ties to america i'm actually from europe so i have to stay up really i just i've always got to stay up really late to watch the icers when they come out because when they come on it's like six in america and it's like 11 over here of course well that was really interesting uh now i'm just wondering do you have like a favorite layer uh by difficulty like of researching or just buy it because you like it on the mario it's very a favorite layer my favorite layer would probably be probably the ninth layer for the mario iceberg and the reason i said that is because that is probably the entry that changed the most yeah you can see the original the original prototype you can put the original prototype in the video to show them yeah of course here it is guys uh you notice you notice that uh i i originally had uh that the high first sprite was originally on the ninth layer instead of uh the tenth layer uh but i moved to the tenth there just because i was gonna make that joke about the happy face of sprite just being kind of this completely innocent thing that we took like yeah we took so seriously we'll talk about that later trust me in fact very early on every layer of the iceberg was like a different version of the happy face sprite like the first layer would have had the original happy face sprite and uh every following layer would have used a custom edited version of it by me to make it look more oh oh like those like like the uh like the other icebergs where it's like that man who gets like slowly depressed like that yes yes yes it was gonna start off as the normal happy face sprite but by the time it got to the tenth layer it was gonna it was gonna have a frowning open mouth with bleeding eyes and a bleeding mouth oh my yeah that was an original idea i had but i didn't use it because i felt i felt it would be kind of weird to have the happy face sprite on the first layer but have the entry itself at the 9 or 10 player would just seem a little strange uh now before our next question for uh mr john i'm going to take this time to correct some of my mistakes on the iceberg so apparently mario 2 mario 3 actually happened sort of i didn't know this but apparently mario 2 was a dream but the events of the game in subcon actually happened similar to the dream world in pillow island in mario and luigi dream team margaret three also may be a stage play but the events of the game actually happened because the sunken ship in uh super mario world is stated to be an airship for mario 3 in the manual uh i pronounced super mario kun wrong it's actually pronounced super mario koon so okay well i i i suppose that that that that that's not that's a pretty understandable mistake considering that's just that's just how it's spelled it's more yeah it's more of like an english pronunciation of it yeah okay uh next is okay this one i i still don't really understand i said that the word pianissimo meant very soft when talking about ill piantissimo and some people have told me it meant really slow however i put pianissimo through google translate and it says it means very soft so i'm not sure well i i actually used to play piano years ago really so i could have sworn it was very soft it would be kind of ironic if it was very slow because the lpnp was the character you raised that yeah exactly yeah it would be a little ironic if his name was very slow and he was racing against you yeah uh okay next one is i said that new super mario bros 2 had an online mode however it's just a local multiplayer mode this was just kind of an accident i kind of knew it was a local multiplayer mode i just didn't say it so that's oh geez okay of course the one that everybody pointed out the traded toy time galaxy i said it was about the trade in the sky not the one in the block uh i only picked a train in the sky because it seemed everyone already knew about the train in the block but i mean i guess not and everyone corrected me on it yeah yeah i i i i i don't know i i actually didn't even know well i i didn't know about the training in the stride you know about it i heard it i heard about it once in a swanky box video but at the time at the time i thought the reason for that was because it was just an asset that hadn't that hadn't unloaded you know yeah i guess another example of this which is also related to swanky box right okay uh next one is the controversy about the water gun was up like this i just got this from a comment but apparently this was about the fact that a water gun looked like a gun and nintendo didn't want mario holding a firearm no actually it isn't no that wasn't what the entry was and i should definitely have clarified this and this i don't know have you heard of this because this is very bizarre like i i i you you're not gonna believe i didn't even believe this when i heard about it in the files of uh of sunshine along with floods other nozzles is a severed yoshi head with its tongue sticking out what what recently there was a scrap yoshi nozzle instead of having yoshi there was going to be a severed yoshi head as a nozzle oh my god you should i mean you should you probably should have put yo scrap yoshi nozzle instead of just scratching awesome well no the reason i the reason i didn't put it scrapping the ocean because there was actually another unused nozzle seriously uh which still sort of work you can still sort of see it in the game i'll be only through glitches yeah uh of course now this one had nothing really to do with you this was more of just a mistake on my end i somehow put metal mario under the vanish cap switch and vanish bar into the metal cap switch when talking about the caps in sm64 guys i was up late at night making these iceberg videos i most likely did it on accident from just being tired um mario and kirby oh mari marion curry masterpiece ova yeah yeah i said over instead of ova again like i don't think that's like super mario called that that's not really that big of a deal let's just that's a simple pronunciation error i mean i mean hell even i made that mistake like five minutes ago i was saying test instead of text oh okay uh and of course finally the smiley face yes it is most likely meaningless however it was the last entry i wanted to build up tension for dramatic effect it was a joke you guys don't need to lose your marbles some people have some pretty good theories though that it was either uh maybe in yeah yeah i was just gonna say that it's an early fanta which i could see yeah yeah that that is highly plausible actually now that i think about it because fans phantom itself was designed to be extremely creepy you know yeah well i was gonna say that some people have thought it was like a sun for like uh some people i've seen this really good comment someone thought it was a sun and they were like uh like in mario 3 but since mario 3 was a play it made more sense for the sun to come down maybe they scrapped it because it didn't make a lot of sense because really a sun coming down would like just completely screw up the earth so some somehow somehow somehow a sun coming down doesn't make sense and yet and yet a frog being killed by vegetables does yeah yeah what's up with that okay okay so somebody else i think somebody else is a joke said that this happy face sprite was an early design for circular sphincter yes oh yes of course that's that's totally the reason that is absolutely the reason supposedly totally of it yeah really really i i i just threw it in at the end as a joke like literally it's like like that's if you're guys if you're complaining about us dragging it about keep in mind keep in mind you almost had you could show the template against one you almost had a template where every layer was a variation of that sprite that we could have done the whole every copy of something is personalized but we didn't oh yeah uh speaking of which i i i you probably showed this in the prototype iceberg earlier um yeah uh but i i did have the wario apparition up there and i also had uh mario creep yes i was gonna mention that yeah i i scrapped those entries because when i when i initially posted it uh the pro the first version of the iceberg which is the prototype on reddit so many people complained about me adding those so i just removed them right okay well now uh there are some comments that i suggested things to add onto the iceberg i'll tell you an entry maybe you can say why or why you didn't put it on well uh our first suggestion is from bradley17 who says world nine in new super mario bros world nine new super mario bros i i really doubt that it exists with how well documented the beta of new super mario bros ds's to the point where we have documentation of a playable bowser yes i was just going to say that this i mean i suppose i suppose what this might be referring to is that unused uh globe cell world map in your super mario bros i was just gonna mention that yeah yeah the one where you know it was like the wheel of all the world yeah and they were all and some of them were like different like there was like a like you're not not it was like a forest it was more like the beach that came from mario i suppose maybe what they thought maybe maybe they thought uh the center space was gonna be for world nine like the big space in the sun was gonna be for world nine like it wasn't used tomorrow as we would but guys that is guys that is very tin foil hat theory if that's what you guys are talking about that is a very tin foil hat theory yeah uh well our next suggestion is from vic and guinea pig dan who suggested waluigi's lost flash game on the mario tennis 64 site apparently one game had waluigi controlling a robot to paint the lines of the tennis court to match the pattern that luigi was holding another has you spray paint graffiti on posters and mario luigi and the last one had you clip waluigi's toenails and email them to somebody jesus christ what has this fan base turned into well it wasn't even that it was it was it was this was fairly an official flash game on the maritime 64 site apparently it's lost so oh it's last me is it well i i wanted to stray away from including flash games because if i did i'd be way too tempted to include super mario bros 63 tomorrow 63. i mean that is a fan flash game this was real but yeah same thing like i mean i understand entries from the mainline games you know the mainline platformers like literally i wanted to include at least one entry from every platformer game in the series like i don't know did anybody notice this but the only platformer to not have a single entry on any version of the iceberg is super mario land 2. that's the only game i couldn't find an entry for because i was gonna say mario land but remember the the entry about uh gunpoi okoye being miyamoto's yeah yeah and also one thing uh one thing i could have mentioned actually looking back on it was uh how sumo lands bosses are based on norse mythology apparently yeah apparently tatanga is like an evil alien or something i remember hearing that years ago i think it was like in a very it was in a mario uh top 10 uh disturbing facts about mario or something well i i remember was like a nintendo focused channel that mentioned it i think it was i thought that entire channel had just this kind of eerie vibe wasn't it like todo nintendo or like tojo ninjas yeah i think that's what it was called yeah yeah it's a very it's a very creepy video oh yeah it's really disturbing that's where i found out about uh the uh uh super you know i don't really want to mention it right now but you know i'm referring to the uh the parody movie that was on layer 10 of the iceberg oh super horny over others yeah yeah okay uh next two are from gotta fist demol who suggested how the continuous coin block from mario 1 and the whole series and the weird mushroom super mario maker were also developer mistakes like the double cherry well well okay the reason uh the continuous coin block uh i actually i actually didn't really know that was a developer error and to be to be to be perfectly honest until i read until i read the questions before this i i reviewed the question before this until before i reviewed the questions i didn't even know that uh super mario bros had continuous blocks i actually thought it did wow okay yeah somehow somehow i forgot about that uh but yeah i suppose i suppose that that's an understandable mistake because that could be just like uh uh that could just accidentally they might have just thrown a loop in there by actually yeah yeah right and uh what about the weird mushroom mario maker where would you place these two by the way uh i i i probably i probably renamed the double cherry mistake to just developer mistakes and developer bugs that became features i'd probably just change it to that yeah uh as for the weird mushroom though i wouldn't have put the weird mushroom on there because like i said i was only keeping this to mainline platformers one day though one day though maybe maybe maybe long after the final iceberg is done i might make a mario spin-off iceberg as well if people if people have if people have enough suggestions for that i might i might do a mario spin on iceberg enough people want that yeah i mean it's mostly like mario kart and mario party entries but of course yeah yeah everything that isn't like the mainline platformers yeah well maybe i'll leave out the rpgs because those are extremely oh those are a whole you can make another iceberg on that yeah yeah i i i could do that one uh would you consider mario maker a main series game or a spin-off i mean in the concepts in the context of an iceberg i wouldn't include it this next one is from this user whose name i would severely butcher who suggested a couple things his first suggestion was uh half a presses half a person's body pan pan and co could explain that a million times better than tyson or i ever could oh definitely but where do you think you'd place it if you put it on the iceberg if i put it on the iceberg maybe somewhere around the middle right yes mostly because you know uh half a presses you know the middle haha i'm so funny yeah the memes and all of course yeah i'm so funny all right the final suggestion from this uh user whose name i cannot pronounce is the secret worlds in a mario one that were created unintentionally such as the other minus worlds or the levels after 8-4 well i feel minus world itself could have covered that whole topic you know they weren't supposed to be there you know it was if you're just there i i've heard there's like 256 rules yeah there is only and we only ever get to play eight by normal means which is like yeah what's that that's eight fourths that's like that's like 32 that's like 32 levels we got to play out of how however many someone can figure out what four times 256 is for me uh i i think it's 1024 actually so we only have to play uh 32 out of like the 1024 uh yeah 2024 but yeah like in general minus world could have covered that whole thing it just it's not redundant to add another entry for that and right um shameless plug if you want to join the little t discord link in the description me uh now john bunch of other cool people from the channel are in there so if you want to visit it feel free now here are some suggestions from myself for uh entries because i just thought of some afterward uh so what about oh wait i was gonna say the mario creepypasta but you already talked about it so forget it what about motos the scrapped robot mario 64 enemy that was assembled from the source code but what was he again i think i think some people i think some people found out that he was the he was the enemy that the spin kick was created for or whatever yeah yeah yeah that was virtually useless in the final game but apparently it was going to be used to defeat him originally yeah i mean he kind of reminds me of a chuck yeah but like with more robot kind of things but like he's still kind of who knows he could be he could have been an early version of chuck yeah yeah uh well that's cool uh how about the oh this is a very nostalgic one for me how about the beta's beta luigi mansion cut scene where luigi is depressed well once again i i'll probably be saving that further we just mentioned iceberg if that ever happens well we'll see we'll see on that one uh uh the louise mentioned depressed cutscene apparently that was never meant to be used in the final game at all it was yeah you just created for that trailer yeah i think it probably was what about the box art for super mario odyssey changing to remove sombrero mario if i knew about that before i made the iceberg i would have included it i literally only found that out after part two came out right yeah of course i i remember it being talked about but i didn't remember it like off the top of my head because most of the i most if not all of these entries were from the top of my head okay uh how about the most offensive mario game for this teleview that was recently brought to light by thomas gamedocs oh boy that that that that is something we don't need to delve into details but oh i i think that's another thing you might want to censor yeah yeah um again again i feel that's more suited for a mario spin-off iceberg because you know most of the mario games released for the television were spin-offs anyway i'm pretty sure okay um this next one because of the fact that you're in europe i don't know if this necessarily the best choice of words but what about the offensive word being used in mario party 8 oh yeah you're saying i i was like i was like what you're talking about before i but then i remember oh yes today is because europe uh yeah but where i'm from is an extremely offensive word uh that and it's used for those who don't know it's me it's a word mostly used to uh mock disabled people or and like people in wheelchairs and stuff it's it is considered pretty offensive over here i don't think it's too bad i don't think it's too bad over in the west yeah over in europe especially especially in the uk it was pretty bad uh like like the entire the whole game had to be recalled because of that yeah so you're not in the uk ah no i i'm not in the uk i'm i i i'm from ireland which is right next to the uk oh okay um yes yeah all the memes can come out now about home from the same country as jacksepticeye i was just gonna say that oh no fun fact uh or before nat or john i i originally planned to make my to make my username john septime uh naturally because because we're both irish but i scrapped that because that just seemed like that just seemed kind of stupid you know yeah okay uh so this one is a bit uh is uh how about wigger wednesday oh boy do you want do you want to do what do you what do you want i i i'm sorry guys but i'm not going to put a racial slur on an iceberg so sorry i'm doing everything i can to avoid cancel call for these days guys sorry he's not gonna pull a scott coffin oh oh no no no no sorry sorry it's not too bad if they changed it i think there was another case like that like an official mario strategy guide oh wait oh you stopped that was my last suggestion no oh you were gonna talk about the regulars weren't you well i mean yeah kind of i was gonna say like finally my last suggestion is the mario encyclopedia translation plagiarism where it copied the fan wikis used the wrong translations and all that yes that was that was a magnet for controversy oh i know i have that book i have two copies of it oh my god you were two copies oh my god i have the limited edition and the real and like the normal edition i i i never picked it up for i reasons i hope i've made obvious but you literally are a mario encyclopedia you don't need a book for it yeah yeah yeah especially but but well that is the end of our questions and by extension our interview i just wanted to give a big thank you to united john for creating this iceberg and taking part in the interview uh is there any socials you like to give a shout out to like your youtube or reddit uh yeah you you can find me on any you you you can find me on reddit on youtube my username designer john nader john is the name i use for everything i have so if you want to stalk me just look up now or john in your social media i'm probably there great uh anything else i have to say um i suppose i suppose one thing i will say i i was going to say this the start but i forgot to i i actually have a video uh that i'm going to make eventually uh it's like it's going to come out on my channel not on tyson yeah uh i i can't put a release date on it yet but it's basically going to be like a developer commentary video where i go even more in depth than i did in this interview and i might even show some behind the scenes things i might even show uh the making of uh the custom sprite signing because i i already mentioned the custom surprise i made of the happy face yeah we're talking that creepier as he went down but uh also um i i i i might have said this earlier but the the happy face ride itself and the hammer mario sliding sprite were actually remade from by me really you oh yeah on the original prototype i used uh stock images from the cutting room floor but they looked extremely blurry as you can see compared to the compared to the final iceberg okay so to get better quality ones i had to recreate myself from scratch oh my yeah i suppose that's it that's it really unless you have uh any more questions for me um in general about myself or the iceberg i mean yeah um i mean i want to say thank you to the audience of course for watching this video and if you want to see more of knight or john's amazing iceberg crafting check out my videos on the ultimate fanaf iceberg uh nader john once again i want to say a big thank you to you this was it was great to finally talk to someone who has such a wide variety of mario knowledge he was very nice yeah thank you and yeah if you want you can join the discord uh both uh tyson and i are moderators on there uh we'll we'll take good care of you and uh like like i said uh my social medias are all nether john of course again if if the mario spin-off icebergs that everybody seems to be asking for ever happened those will be posted on my reddit as well and i'll probably put them on the discord as well at some point and it'll probably become a video inevitably oh yeah yeah at some point we're gonna have to uh we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna make a video uh on them eventually too probably we're gonna run out of ideas at some point of course well uh again please check out matter john's uh iceberg commentary video when it comes out and of course and as always i've been your host little t this has been nada john and i'll see you guys next time you
