Just a heads up your code doesn't work if you try and get a subscription. I guess I'll order one pack and see if it's good first haha
Thank you again Kosmic. I was waiting for the 2nd quest. No let downs in this content.
if i remember correctly i think theres a channel called games haya who got a whole bunch of infinite 1up tricks
@@Quenlin bro -_- its called a sponsor. you pay them money to advertise your product. thats not a scam.
I tried this cereal and it was simultaneously the most expensive and worst tasting cereal I've ever had
It never ceases to amaze me that nearly 40 years later we're STILL learning new things about this game
Okay
Wait until you hear about chess
"Discovering" kind of means it was always there, we are actively breaking the game with unintended methods at this point
thats how good the game is
@@thechugg4372that’s also a discovery. This glitches and unintended methods always existed, they just weren’t known.
The clip at the end is almost HappyLee-tier. Well done!
haha, I'd never compare myself to what he was able to pull off in 8-2 of minimum A presses, but thanks! The double fast accel to save 1 extra frame was absolutely required (with my positioning at least) to get the shell to make contact with the final buzzy beetle
THIS is a HappyLee-tier TAS!

I love the way that you break down the technical details in these. There's something about how you cover it that always feels really approachable.
But have you speedran eating a bowl of cereal? Also why are you letting me know Mario is almost 40 😭 because that means so am I.
if it makes you feel better I'm 44 XD
Bonus 1UPs if it’s Nintendo Cereal System. Probably a bit stale by now though.
Mario games will be 42 years old this year (this July) if we’re counting Donkey Kong (1981), and though he was technically called Jump Man in it, he was retroactively named Mario soon after. I just hit level 50 in life. 😂 I’ve been playing games since 1976. Pong in 76, Atari VCS in 1979, ColecoVision in 1982 (all because I needed the DK pack-in game!), but getting the NES Deluxe Set in 1985 was a life changer for me. I wasn’t able to get SMB until February 1986 (I was 13) I had all the time in the world to play it, and worked a 🗞 paper route in order to buy new games for the NES. What a time to be a kid gamer. Those were the days… as they say. 👍
man, kosmic got some OG gamers following him ^_^
@@theonlymegumegu appears so. :) 👍
In all my years of playing SMB, I never knew that lifts did not count against chain stomps. I'll have to see if this still applies in SMBDX, as it would allow for much higher scores to be possible in Challenge Mode. I seriously learn something new about SMB every time I watch one of your videos!
I remember having a fun time trying to get as many 1-ups as I could with the star in 3D World 3-7, because high-value enemies like hammer bros end up just adding three to your current chain level in that game too (200+400 can become 1000+400 or 200+2000), and the way that interacts with stars (which reset the chain every 8 enemies in 3D World)... I actually forget.
Someone needs to do a maximum lives run that doesnt involve dying or infinite life combos
When I played SMB1 on SM All Stars, I was having trouble with world 8, so I got myself to 8-2 and painfully set up the infinite one ups trick on the second koopa on the stairs. It was totally worth it though, as it gave me enough lives to comfortably finish world 8. If only I could beat 8-4 in the lost levels 😥
on smb1 twds the end of 8-2 there is Another staircase with a jumping koopa that i was able to do the infinite lives trick on both nes and vs smb versions!
still cant pull of the stair trick
Me either
I'm impressed that I instantly recognised the last track as music from 'Top Gear' even after all these years. Excellent soundtrack.
Didn’t realize that stopping a shell doesn’t reset the kill combo counter in this game. Probably would’ve been a little broken in later games where you can pick the shell up after.
Great video! Thanks for using my footage of 1-1 and 1-2 1-Ups. Your solution of 3-2 is great. :D
just saw this. Thank you HappyLee! Oh you're welcome, thank you for teaching me about those things. I'm happy you were glad to see the footage! And amazing 3-2 solution of your own :)
@@Kosmicd12 I'm a big fan of your channel. Hope to see more amazing videos. :)
09:50 - You know you have arrived at the good part. It's all in the music!
*You have just exploded my childhood brain of my 1992 days* , when I have discovered this shell trick into the stair wall all by myself back then; no guide.
Such a weird staggering feeling. I thank you.
That ending combo is insane! Great work Kos
5:43 "This trick Andrew shows in 1-2 gets two 1UPs in a single shell kick" - but doesn't it show *three* 1UPs?
Correct! I didn't realize until watching it back after it was live 😔 the confusion comes from the 10 lives category I was talking about. In my head I thought that combo gets 2 1-ups, because in that route you only get 1 more 1-up than the previous route with the trick in 1-1. But that's because you skip the trick in 1-1... haha. 3 - 1 = 2
thats more of a glitch though. but still amazing cause its super hard! a glitch cause the turtle is walking below the ground with his head above it. so it would not count if NES "looked at it" or reviewed it
Love that top gear music track btw 👍 at 9:50
EXTRA thumbs up for the Top Gear Soundtrack!!! As a brasilian I can say this is hardcoded into the brains of most people my age. Super cool.
One of my favorite videos on UA-cam is footage from a Video Games Live concert in Brazil. Barry Leitch is introduced and the crowd reacts like he's a rock star.
Came here to comment this, based Top Gear music.
Jesus
@@Carlos-tz9iy Wtf
The romhack vids are great, but I always appreciate these tech deep dives
I knew some of these tricks, like how standing on sprite platforms doesn't reset your stomping combo (which is more well-known in SMB3, but doesn't work in SMW, where sprite platforms do reset your combo). Also, in SMB3, it takes 9 combo hits (not 8) to start getting 1-ups, since the point values for both stomps and shell-kills go 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 1-up.
Anyway, really nice 10-life combo in 3-2 at the very end of this video! (Man, I miss SMB35, which that kinda reminded me of, where you could easily fit dozens of sent enemies into a shell-kill combo, especially in world 3-2.)
Awesome video - I didn't know about a lot of these tricks and we will definitely try some of them! And we LOVE magic spoon - our daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and Magic Spoon has been a GAME CHANGER for our family! I cannot say enough nice things about them!
The Bomberman hero song was an excellent touch to another great video
Fantastic tech video. Lots of fun to see these weird and arcane variations on my 1986 era mornings before school. Thanks!
The locals in my region, back in the 80s, referred to the shell stomping trick as "turtle tipping." I've never heard the phrase used again since then but it was a cool name for the trick I thought.
It kinda makes sense to me that there's a lot of unexplored territory; consider how long the speedrun has been being optimized for, and how that only covers a small subset of levels. Presumably there's plenty of other stuff waiting to be found in the levels that any% runners don't go through, purely because of how many runs and eyeballs being on that critical path pulls to part of the game.
At the same time, wow.
yeah, pretty much just the speedrun has been so incredibly optimized. Other competitive things even, like high score, is nowhere near as explored. And when we worked on projects like minimum A press, brand new things were discovered/documented. Even after this video, happylee went and figured out a new thing with kicking shells!
This is the kind of video I don't need watching but I feel satisfied because I've watched it. So thank you!
I found a 1-up trick that involves a koopa/busy beetle shell kick, AND a well timed jump as the shell bounces back. Timed perfectly, you can get a 2-up in total
edit: Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels 1-1 has the potential to net 10 lives or more with a skill-based koopa shell smash and stomp. I worked out a 9-up smash/stomp combo and it is up
3:55 I get this 1Up by stopping the koopa as it rebounds and then kicking it back and forth until it clears every koopa, since stopping the koopa doesn't reset the kick counter.
3:41 it's pretty easy to get that timing down on 3-2 for both times to get the extra 2 1-ups.
i really like how you showed the memory addresses for the certain values used for this!
I would do stuff like this in the Genesis Sonic games as a kid, try to get as many lives as I could in one playthrough of a game and glitch out the life counter
well there is another way, run the game in 2 players mode, finish the game, start the new quest, go to 1-2 with mario and die on a first goomba, then go with luigi to 5-2, hit the block with the vine and when it grows up die to a hammer, then mario will be back in the beginning of 1-2 with the vine growing from the ground, so you can hang on it with beetle shell between you/vine and the left wall, infinite 1ups
0:38 I did that many, many times on the second quest, same for 2-1, you can do that when you have the second quest, but you've got to be pretty quick, because it comes down fast.
It would be interesting to see an any% speed run on the type B game because every other run has been done on type A
www.speedrun.com/smbce?h=Second_Quest&x=n2y16ve2
This is a phenomenal video. It rocks, you rock, this game rocks...good vintage games never die. :D I must go back and achieve these new found skills to add to my gaming portfolio.
Me: I can do the shell trick and get lives!
Kosmic: Meh, I can do that PLUS some extra.
I know there is a place in "Super Mario World" on SNES (forgot where,it's been a lot of years) where there is a turtle coming down stairs,and you can the same thing to get 1ups,like you could on the original SMB!!! :)
1 fun trick I used to do when playing SMB3 and even to this day is to jump on Gombas on 1-2 at the Gomba factory
By the way, Marionaire discovered the interesting ways to get 1-Ups in 2008, but he got terminated, and it wasn't until AndrewG dug up archive triumvirate videos where he rediscovered those tricks.
is there any way I could get a link to all of these archived things from Marionaire? I definitely want to give credit where credit is due, and learn lots of new things myself from them!
@@Kosmicd12 There is no link available. However, you can email AndrewG to see if he has more information about Marionaire and adika23560 as well.
I knew about the 8-1 koopa shell trick and when father saw us doing it he wanted to do it himself. But it was so funny watching him try again and again. We knew a few spots back then where it could be done but father would always shoot the koopa when pressing to run.
I don't know if it's been done before, but when I was a kid in the 90s I had a Chinese NES knockoff, and it listed hundreds or thousands of SMB games on it. However, all games were glitched out / unplayable SMB levels.
It would be cool to see those levels again.
You will probably enjoy this series!

Bomberman Hero music during the sponsor ad. Nice! I loved that soundtrack.
Without watching this video, I am predicting that it will be a banger.
I was correct.
8:01 Is it because these vertical moving platforms are sprites, not tiles?
no, because it resets on horizontally moving platforms
I didn't know anyone pronounced the word "dash" in the level names. Three One. Four Two. That's what we always called them.
what are you talking about? I've heard dash for level names my entire life
All I'll say is that the final background music is awesome
another banger video, always love learning something new about this game
It's incredible to me that a game from my childhood still has so much to offer.
This was so much fun to watch! Thanks for the hard work!
0:38 Hey, you didn't explore getting 1-Ups from Coins!
oh yeah that's true. I thought about how i wasn't talking about mushrooms, or coins, but then only mentioned not talking about mushrooms in the text. oops
3:57 not if you time it right, or keep kicking the shell over and over. I did it without ever stomping on a paratroopa.
I would kill for a breakdown of every bit of SMB's Assembly code from Kosmic
1:38 yeah yeah let me just turn a species into a completely different species, totally normal
Your knowledge of this game never ceases to amaze! Great video!
SmallAnt1 is a legend. He's everywhere; even those where he probably didn't even played
Ways to get 1-ups that if you're able to pull off you're already too good to need them lmao
That 1up trick was called turtle-tapping. I never could quite get it to work.
A cool thing is the lives counter can roll over back to zero, and if you rack up enough lives (probably 256) you'll get a game over at next death! Found this out while playing a hack... Doing the lakitu trick three times in a row, dying to repeat the level again and again. I was shocked. So, if there is a hack where you have infinite lives, depending on how it's implemented, it might still be possible to get a game over screen if you can get that many 1ups, which I think is really cool.
it's a signed number so after 127 it goes to -128 and you'll game over anywhere from -128 to 0
@@Kosmicd12 interesting! I wonder why it's signed though
Excellent video, kos. I enjoy all of your stuff but this one stands out.
You actually had a trick I did not know... well done. Definitely a thumbs up for that.
Nearly 40 years and this game STILL gives us new treasure!

Moving platforms are treated as enemies internally. That's why they fail to load in 5-3 if the enemy slots are full.
So honestly I'm not surprised that they don't reset the stomp counter.
they're simply sprites, not enemies. Horizontally moving platforms reset the stomp counter. The stomp chain counter gets reset in the "Land Player" function, and I'm not yet sure why that doesn't take place when landing on specifically vertical moving platforms (of various types).
@@Kosmicd12 I think you're mistaken. The horizontally moving platforms don't clear it either. (I overwrote the variable and it didn't get cleared when landing on said platforms)
Landing on platforms is handled by the "Position Player On Platform" routine (different offset depending on platform size). They simply forgot to reset the stomp counter.
Edit: The funny thing is, bullet bills (both variants) don't touch the stomp counter. Were you checking the behaviour in 1-3/5-3?
@@TakuikaNinja you know what, I was actually checking horizontal platforms in SMB2-J, since there were much easier spots to test. It's possible they fixed horizontal platforms in 2j? But they didn't fix vertical ones so I don't know why that would be the case lol. I'll have to test later when I have time.
I think it's amazing you found a basically legit 10up!
8:09 How do you rapid-fire fireballs like that?
Using the Top Gear theme from SNES on your closing really caught me off guard. 😳
Bro the top gear SNES music at the end though
There's deux one-up tricks on the stairs in the same level?

Magic Spoon should have their slogan be “If you want to spend five dollars on a bowl cereal this is for you!”
this video was great!
it also made me curious to see how this kind of technical video could mix with your other style of videos (where you record your life streams and edit them) since i feel your "fun" vibes in these streams could match pretty well with these deep technical explanations vibes
Great video as always :) nice and fun 1up tricks
If ever there was such a thing as having a doctorate is Super Mario Bros, I think Kosmic has it.
Very interesting stuff, love learning more about this game. Great work Kosmic!!
The top gear soundtrack is god tier
This was a really cool breakdown Kosmic! I'm glad to hear you have similar videos planned.
6:26
Doesnt matter anymore since you can just hold Select and then Start to continue on the last level you were last in.
holding A does that, and it takes you back to the last world you were on, not level, so game overs do matter. This video isn't about helping you not game over though lol, it's about doing cool new things in an old game. Not really sure what "anymore" means here, because you could always do that, and it also means it has to have once mattered but no longer does, yet these are new things.
That Top Gear Track A music has no right being as good as it is.
8:34 knowing how points work this way will seriously help with getting higher scores in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 👀
You only need 300000 to get everything unlocked. So yeah this definitely helps.
Does the score work differently in SMBDX?
I want some cereal and some 1-up’s now. 😂
I came here for Mario but stayed for that Top Gear music!
I love the scripted stuff, keep it up!
10 up, that is seriously impressive.
I wonder if you can use ACE to gain a bunch of 1-ups. Not as impressive as Bad Apple or Mario World running Mario 1 but yeah
5:44 *3 1-UPs
Dang it. I literally just changed my ringtone to Top Gear
Koamic. Thank you for your efforts finding new things in this game. I've always loved it. I played it in the arcade as a kid and I still play it a lot.
You know more about this game than the people who actually created it. You and andrewg
If the combo counter doesn't reset when a Koopa is stopped from bouncing around, infinite lives from any Koopa by a wall/pipe? I assumed the combo would stop once you stopped the Koopa from moving.
You will land on the ground. The famous infinite stomp is doing exactly this: kicking a shell and then stopping it after it bounces off the wall. You're in the air so you don't land on the ground before it comes back.
Kosmic: The 8000 points kick a shell, that is when you kick a stunt shell that is still in the air. unfortunatly this does not upgrade for the reason chaining jump on flying koopa in super mario bros. and Super mario bros. the lost levels however this will work in Super mario bros.3 and Super mario world since does game it is program to increase the score regardless if the enemie is in the air or not, and the remove the 8000 point kick. Why diffrent game as diffrent score for coins, in Super mario bros. And Super mario bros. the lost levels regardless where you take a coins is always 200 points, in Super mario bros. 3 takeing a coins in the air is 50 points each, while take it from a box is 100 points, while in Super mario world 50 points for taken it in the air and 10 point for taking it in a box.
This trick is much harder in PAL version in my opinion, i have only made this on NTSC version and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe where it is much easier
No sugar in Magic Spoon, does that mean it taste like wood chips?
I believe that mario universe will always have secrets which we will keep discovering
I still think its funny that people sound out the "dash" on the levels.
depends on the situation. Sometimes it sounds better with, sometimes better without. It's not like there's an objectively correct way
@@Kosmicd12 Shigeru Miyamoto says it's supposed to be "one hyphen two"

5:28, huh, mario doesnt despawn, he just turns black. Never knew.
Every time you refer to SMB as nearly forty years old I inch closer to my grave...
Now I really want to know how many unique one ups are available in the game. 100? 200? 1,000?
I have an idea like "How many lives are in smb" i might do at some point
This is my favourite series of videos
