Don't move! Hacked Mario World levels play themselves

In the third video, it says "sadamasashi," "sadamasa" or "sadamasan" at about 2:32 on the clock, written in the rails, i can't tell if the last character is the hiragana "n" "shi" or just part of the system and nothing at all

anyone make anything of that?

It's a sly smiling face.

It's definitely "sadamasashi". Must be a name or a nickname or username or something.

lol

Greatist Post Evar!

PennyArcade did it first.

Yeah the part 38 seconds in really does go with the music

yes

Yeah. They must not have included a post to go with it...

Make sure to wear an eye patch me heatie.

I'm sure that's what you thought you saw.

You're wrong.

After closer inspection, in the first video there is a change that happens when he hits the information block, just before going down the pipe to fight Big Boo. I can't read Japanese, but if you look closely you can clearly infer that the information box is telling him to hold three buttons, which seem to be run, jump, and down; he holds these through the remainder of the video. This explains the fact that he slides down all the slopes, goes into pipes immediately, bounces higher off the note blocks, and holds the koopa shells rather than kicking them.

Anyone play the eReader SMA4 levels, especially the Japanese ones? They use the combined elements, sprites, powerups, etc. from Mario 2, 3, and World; if only Nintendo would release a WiiWare title that was a Mario level editor with all of that available to the player, combined with an upload system whereby everyone could put their levels online and browse through those made by others, it would be a huge hit. Imagine the automations that would be created, and without any hacking skills required. Then again, that's not going to happen. :(

Well for starters, you can take up ASM and such and insert various sprites and functions yourself. There are people who have put in the blocks that break ala SMB3, people have put in Bloopers with functions ala SMB, people have replaced the entire soundtrack with
Earthworm Jim, SMRPG, and other things. You can do alot more then one would think with enough knowledge.I'm from a Super Mario World hacking community, and I've even seen Chargin' Chucks with HP Counters and used as bosses.The elevators in that movie you speak of are in the original game, just not used more then a few times.

Heck, those booster and Mario/Luigi switch blocks in #4? I programmed those. :D

Wrong, Marios hitboxes are shorter then his head. Someone needs to hack Super Mario World more!

Get bentz.

Hey cool, there was one of these posted back here in June.

These videos were originally uploaded to nicovideo, which has a different encoding procedure (for maximum quality, you can encode your video using VP6 yourself, then upload it and have them serve it unmodified). When reuploaded by someone else to youtube, the a-v sync is often lost (a lot of backend media player stuff has flaky FLV decoding, and youtube's going to insist on re-encoding it to VP1...)

That was hilarious! Whoever is playing in that video is a true Super Mario World hero -- I couldn't believe he actually bested that level!

Fail. He edited the level. Notice the added warp in the bonus room, the lack of fire coming from the statues, and the change at the very end.

Yes, the original video description noted those (in Japanese) - though it's apparently still a self-playing level if you let it...
