And after you watch this video, you'll hate him too. Just look at this scene from a modified version of Super Mario Bros., designed to bring even the most skilled players to their knees. Some of this crap is just sadistic... there's one section where you have to step on a moving girder, then keep it on the screen as you navigate through narrow tunnels at speeds that would make even Sonic jealous. This makes The Lost Levels look like Barney's Hide and Seek!

    Man, that narrator is annoying. I'm not particularly impressed that someone made Impossible Mario Bros. I'm just waiting for the Nintenerds to say its "great level design"

    I thought that was pretty funny. It's annoying that it keeps going back to the start of the game.

    Seriously, this would be far more entertaining if there wasn't a narrator saying "Fuk-fuckety-fuck" or making lame jokes involving Ann coulter.

    "This is worse than reading Youtube comments" is his latest gem.

    Yeah, I broke out the old Genesis about a month or two for a Sonic 2 marathon with a friend of mine and the only conclusion we could draw was, "man, Yuji Naka must have hated children."

    Lots of games back then were like that.

    Normally I would agree with you 100%, but this guy managed. A feat which I guess should be commended.

    To this very day, people still come to that conclusion. Although usually it's due to the quality of the games, not their difficulty.

    I will not accept your subtle jab. All the genesis Sonics are great games.

    Its not "great level design" so much as a cleverly made mod in that from moment to moment it is barely possible to advance. The jumps are just close enough to land if you hit it just right while every other manner of jumping ends in you getting fucked. It shows a good understanding of the mechanics in the first Mario game and how to enrage players by exploiting them to create nigh impossible levels.

    There is no way any man can find this fun or "inventive".

    It's literally designed to have ONE solution and ONE correct "time" to jump, etc.

    Fuck that.

    At 8:06 or so he breaks one of the blocks on the ceiling. He ignores this fact and continures to make stupid comments in a poorly done accent for the rest of the viedo while saying "fuck" far too often.

    Conclusion? Not only is the announcer an annoying douche, he completely fucks up making it look impossible.

    Fucking Group X rip off.

    Seriously, I can't be the only person that realizes this.

    Interesting note: the founding members of Group X went to Etowah High School in Woodstock, GA. I jammed with them on several occassions, played on a few track.s

    Wait, so, this guy just takes that video that was floating around, and adds commentary to make it seem like he was playing it, in the process making it much less entertaining and a ton more tedious? Naw, no thanks.

    I used to design levels like this for that Mario clone on the TI-86. I beat my levels twice, but no one else ever managed to get past the fourth one. My favorite was a level that was entirely dark. The only way to discern blocks was a single pixel on them that was grey instead of black...then you add Bullet Bills.

    The loss of those levels in a memory wipe of my calculator was quite tragic.

    I tried to put something witty and funny here, but I failed. I was trying to call the narrator a son of a b, but I guess it doesn't come through to well over the internets.

    I actually don't mind the narrator. Everytime he finds a new thing that kills him he kind of dismisses it nonchalantly. I think it's pretty funny so far.

    The non-commentator version is somewhere in the SE++ youtube thread. I think it's a page or two back. The best part in my opinion is where he's all "Okay I can make this jump. I can make it. I'm going NO WAIT FUCK NOT YET HEAD BACK okay okay. I can do this. YES! THE TIME IS NOW!" *Block*

    Also, I loved when he glitches through a section in the second level and jumps up and down on the other side in a "Yeah fuck you!" manner and then proceeds to hit another invisible block. I was saying to myself "No you fool! There will be an invisible block! Don't fall for it!". Then he fell for it.
