Super Mario level that plays itself?

halkun

I'm not keen on the whole Mario thing, but is this a hack, or really a clever level in the game itself?

Hack, but an awesome one.

Pata

Ahahaha that's clever.

That's a hack.

Pretty cute.

I thought this would be a clip from AIR though.

Wish that was real, that is awesome.

It's real.

Someone hacked Super Mario World and made that level, they managed to make Mario slip around like that by making the level "ice" without actually using the ice tileset.

Just cause it's a mod of the game doesn't mean it's not real. It's a pretty cool thing.

Crashmo

Yeah, hack or not, that is awesome.

HyperAquaBlast

There should be an Incredible Machine Mario style for DS.

eelektrik

Whoever made that is fucking brilliant. Thats just awesome.

Those Japanese hackers are pretty crazy.

That must have taken a lot of work to get it set up just right.

MrBlarney

Actually, isn't this a couple weeks old? And aren't there eight of them?

The page loads with errors and wont play on Firefox and IE. :x

I noticed at one point a turtle shell seemed to slow down. I don't remember if that happens in SMW or what, but that's the only thing that stood out as possible "cheating."

I meant more in the sense that Nintendo put it there as an Easter Egg of some sort.

Well I saw the first one and I was just amazed by the pure creativity and amount of work that had to go into that. I mean just the shear amount of time and energy going into all of the placement and the complete understanding of the physics ... I would consider it almost an art form.





Then I saw that there were eight of them and I proceeded to soil my underpants.

Speed Racer

The funny part is that the level looks pretty bitchy if you were to actually try and progress.

Zxerol

Hitching back on Yoshi after the goal was just an awesome touch.

Kind of old news, for me anyway. There are a ton of these, and I've seen better than this one. I can't seem to recall where I found it, however. I'll throw it in here if I can find it again.

EDIT: I found it.

Sound is REQUIRED to experience the full amount of awesomeness. Listen closely.


(By the way, I found it on Joystiq, here: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/22/dont-move-hacked-mario-world-levels-play-themselves/ )

Zombiemambo

I can't tell if this is awesome or pathetic.

AbsoluteHero

Christ I wish I could see the formulas they used to calculate the physics.

This is why Mario games are such quality platformers. You can't do this in shit like Donkey Kong or Sonic really.

Oh my God, i thought id seen all of these already on Destructoid, but that is just awesome. The syncing with the background, jeez thats amazing.

KungFu

hehe, that is pretty cool despite being modified.

And the yoshi coming back at the end was really the kicker.

Narket

pretty cool. hard to believe all the things that people can do with games and computers these days.

eric.

that is awesome! like a mario version of Line Rider

cooljammer00

oh my god.

Mario does some pimp Matrix type shit.

Joshua368

Well, hacking Super Mario World is hardly new or amazing these days. With a special and very user-friendly program called "Lunar Magic", anyone can pretty much make their own SMW hack. I've find more than enough on this website. Of course, it still takes plenty of time and effort to design anything worth playing. Still, I'd recommend any Mario fans with enough free time on their hands to check out those top 5, and maybe this one. ^_^

But anyway, even with plenty of experience in SMW hacking, these DDAs are extremely impressive... and I haven't actually seen one before. I expecially liked the first one shown in this thread. It utilized some extremely clever Koopa shell combos.

Donkey Kong Country, maybe not, but old Sonic games have way more physics than old Mario games.

Here it comes.

Well you probably could make a sonic level that played itself. But how could you tell the difference between that and a normal sonic level?

ZING!

Xenogears of Bore

Sonic games don't have physics.

Shitty water levels and unescapable deaths, yes. Physics, no.

You've lit the TSR signal.

I hope you're happy.

I will be watching this thread with great interest.

here's hoping he sees it!

This doesn't have to do with physics as much as how many ways there are for Mario to interact with the environment, obstacles and enemies.

I wish I could make Yoshi that dinosaur. Nintendo really blew it when they changed everything for the worse when you beat SMW. They really could have tried harder.

I like how the blocks had the face on them. An amusing touch.

Zombiemambo

Anyone remember the robot made out of LEGO that was programmed to play the first level of Super Mario Bros.? That was pretty sweet.

LewieP

saw this a while back, and it is wonderful.

Tig

This one is pretty sweet - Mario actually defeats a boss Boo at the end
