Super Mario Hell

[Steben]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIXRgppi04M

Wow. Just wow.

Four remixed Mario levels, redesigned to properly demonstrate why Japan is one of the Top Ten Countries with the highest suicide rate. (Check the YouTube user page for that video to see the other levels.)

Should you want to try it yourself (I did, if just because of the Cheetahmen music), go here:

It's the top link. Good luck, all. I got halfway through the second level before I broke into tears. (And then decided to watch the rest of the videos instead of playing it myself.)

[Triad Orion]

I see your Super Mario Hell and raise you Asshole Mario:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r86NLwCYXfk

This one's got like ten levels and they're some of the meanest I've ever seen. Though most of them aren't just random things to piss you off. (Goombas don't fall from the sky, for example.)

[Imagist]

Those videos are hilarious. My favorite parts so far are when the player gets stuck past the pole at the end of the first video, when he has to use the mushroom on the spike-headed enemy in the second video, and when there's an invisible cloud that attacks him when he tries to go on top of the blocks in the second level.

New favorite: the secret area in the clouds at the beggining of the third level.

[Steben]

By the way, I dunno what the real name for this game is... I don't suppose anyone else knows anything about it?

[Broken]

I find it hard to believe that the first game you showed us is an actual game, Steben. Its presentation looks like someone added in new characters from microsoft paint.

And if it is a real game, that's some god awful level design. Even if it was done on purpose.

Meh, I'm probably just being grumpy and not realizing how funny this is, but still, if I ever played that game myself, I would make sure to kill whomever made it before I killed myself.

[Airwalker]

That first game video was on Digg this morning.

[q-pa]

By the way, I dunno what the real name for this game is... I don't suppose anyone else knows anything about it?Well the title of the .zip on that download page is "syobon-action" and the YouTube video title translated through Google is "Mario game for the senior-laden Homemade let him 1"


...Internet Engrish ftw.

[OrGoN3]

Pfth...easy as pie. Only took me ~190 lives. FYI, you "win" just as much as you can "win" in Cheetahmen II.

P.S. where's the ocremix?!?! I need some remixes before or for MAGFest!!!!! (need == Please)

[I-n-j-i-n]

Mario isn't the only one they torture-test though. It's just that he's one of the most popular examples. They did it many times for Smash Bros games and one of my favorites with Sonic:

PS- I love full game abuse updates like with the OP video. That one has to be one of the better ones. Not to mention the 2chan layout.

[Skrypnyk]

Wow, these videos are painful to watch.

[DjSammyG]

One of my friends downloaded the rom. He beat 5 levels, last time I asked. I think he's beaten the whole thing by now.

triad linked to a better one that does the whole game
*annoying SA player voice not included*

[Tensei]

Judging by the other reactions, some people considered the SA player's voice a welcome addition.

[Arek the Absolute]

The others are fellow goons. What did you expect?


Also, the one triad linked isn't tool assisted, so you get to see someone actually complete this by trial and (a lot of) error.

[DarkeSword]

Speaking of Mario stuff, anyone catch that Extra Mario Bros. speedrun vid on Youtube? It's like a combination of Mario and Metroid. I managed to get the IPS and patch a ROM earlier today, and it's a really well put together game.

[Tensei]

Both players use savestates/rewind button, so they're both equally TAS.


But fine, I digress, don't mean to start an argument or anything, either you like the commentary or you don't :)

[Drack]

As far as mario hacks go, I thoroughly enjoyed "Super Demo World"

It's not an extreme difficulty hack, it can be beaten without savestates (I've 100%'d it without cheating), but it's definitely several notches harder than the original SMW.

The creater of SDW released a SMW rom editing app. This is why there are so many SMW hacks out there. It's called Lunar Magic.

Also, Super Demo World implemented a lot of Assembler hacks that allowed the greation of new blocks and backgrounds and powerups. A few examples are Goomba Blocks (Blocks mario can't pass through but enemies walk through), a pyramid level (SMB3 style), Ice blocks that you destroy with fireballs, SMB3 style pipes (there's a highly reminiscent pipe maze level), small pipes only small mario can go through, fire cannons (like the ones in SMB3 airships and New SMB's final castle (this came out way before NSMB). It's a really neat hack that I heartily recommend. It's in English too.

Also, so no one misses out on the hardest levels in the game (extra levels spoiler) -> There is a second exit in Bowser's Castle, leading to a whole new area. Access it through ducking under a small space in the castle, then unducking. You'll slide through the wall. Here's a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhgh7181bjM&feature=related <- Spoiler

Also, so no one screws themself, when you do the star road, beat the levels the normal exit BEFORE you do the keyhole exit. The normal exit opens the path to the next level, the keyhole exit turns the level into a warp star out of star road.

Here's an example level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQJCpW1fSw

and a ridiciculous Star Road level, TAS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmpbFDc8ZCA&feature=related

I'm sorry, I'm not an SA goon or whatever but found that video to be the best. I love actual human reaction in my videos for one. And you're making it sound like there weren't hundreds of trial and error in those videos.

Fuck you.

[q-pa]

Hey is anyone having problems running the program under Windows XP SP2? It always tells me it's configured wrong and to try reinstalling it. :|


Edit: Yeah, Drack, Super Demo World is the shit. Hard, but fun and creative as hell. Me: I'm permanently stuck on the Backdoor Star World level where you have to fly through the spikes and saws and stuff. Is there *any* way through that??

[Brithor]

I finished yesterday in like half an hour with -313 lives. All that for a goddamn melon?

I have to say it was a fun little game though.

[I-n-j-i-n]

I love these games to death, but I haven't had the time to try them yet. But I agree that Super Demo World is a CLASSIC. Possibly better designed than most SMW levels.

Actually, most of these mods are almost universally better than the old versions, except for the times when they mess up the physics (like demo world) a bit.

[DarkAura]

He calls it "Cat Mario." (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3679C5E43B0FF9C)


He did a playthrough of the game, no tool assistance, and live commentary throughout the playthrough, lasting for 6 videos. Quite funny, most of it.

Aw. I was actually thinking of doing something like that. But it wouldn't exactly be original anyway.

Hahaha, quite good, his accent was amusing.

But damn, he cheated for the last part.
Try figuring out the way to get to the watermelon without looking at any guides... damn, took me like 100 more lives.

THE CLOUDS KILL YOU WHAT IS THAT

I beat this game, but I had to look up two things. One being killing the robot with the shell, and the other being getting the melon. They are just ridiculously absurd and if you figured those out on your own you are a danger to those around you.

I figured those out on my own... the shell thing was kinda obvious, the melon was just by accident.

I've got JUST the thing to add to this thread.

Automated Mario levels. I think they use the slide physics a lot because in some videos Mario's feet look so dang slippery. Enjoy.

Numbers 5, 7, and 8 are so amazing! It must have taken a long time to make art like this. ^_^

[uthlu]

Beat this after an hour or so...only had to look up the melon cause I didn't know if the chicken part was the end or not...wouldn't have put it past these guys if it was...

[Imagist]

Automated Mario is awesome. They really do abuse the physics in their hack, though.

[cobaltstarfire]

So does anyone know what the music is for the second level of the cat mario things? It's kind of catchy.

Does anyone know where I can find that hack? I'd prefer to be able to watch these with the audio in sync.

[RealFolkBlues]

Yeah, one of those automated Mario levels (the Big Boo one) was posted in the Internet Videos thread. Fairly freaking awesome. I still think all of these hacks need to be applied to Super Mario 2.

[I-n-j-i-n]

I posted this in the Incredible Internet Videos thread, but I wonder if the maker is the same as the automated mario ones:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DFyKGKhfRIg

[CHIPP Damage]

Well it is automated, but it isn't the same as any of the ones I posted, so cool. I like how this one had items involved and random shell kicking and stuff. But I feel like this one cheats by making the yellow exclamation blocks thrust you forward.

[dish]

So does anyone know what the music is for the second level of the cat mario things? It's kind of catchy.
It's the BGM from NES game called Spelunker. (There is a recent OLRemix project on the game if you are interested.)

[cobaltstarfire]

I'll definitely be looking out for it. If I don't completely forget before the end of the day anyway.

Edit: Meh, it didn't have the song that was used in the second level for the cat mario.

[TDKenyon]

I got halfway through the second level before I broke into tears.
Real men cry because of video games.

Fun shit, dude

EDIT: Is there any way to get past the part immediately after the cat bowser?

[Steben]

EDIT: Is there any way to get past the part immediately after the cat bowser?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: Use an enemy with the help of a hazard to give yourself a boost onto the roof of the stage, right before the 3 ? blocks at the end. (highlight)

[TDKenyon]

Thanks. I'll try that next time I decide to play. I lost power so had to quit.
