SMB1 Glitched Worlds

  • You can access glitchy worlds (similar to the minus world) by swapping between Famicom SMB and Tennis cartridges without powering the game off. This works because without powering off, the RAM values are never cleared between these games. When you hold A+Start in SMB1 it takes you back to the world you last played. Tennis must use this RAM address for something, so when you swap back to SMB1 you're taken to whatever numbered world that Tennis stuck in that address. This doesn't work on the Toaster NES but it does work on a top loader NES. -- Watch live at / kosmic

    So I looked into it and found exactly which worlds you entered.
    2:52 World 94, 5E in hex (Blue Square) [Sadly, not in the 100s.]
    11:13 World 68, 44 in hex (Blue Square with a dot) [It's part of the empty coin block texture.]
    24:38 World 54, 36 in hex (Cloud texture) [Took so long to find.]
    27:14 World 118, 76 in hex (New Cloud Texture) [Actually a mushroom texture.]
    30:16 World 200, C8 in hex (Bullet Bill Launcher) [Exactly 200. :O]
    38:27 World 34, 22 in hex (Y) [Why not?]
    40:38 World 1, 01 in hex (1) ["Aw man, it didn't work." =(]
    41:29 World 123, 7B in hex (That's a coin?) [They were very right.]

      I stand corrected, Blue Square w/ a dot is a texture for the top left of the "SUPER MARIO BROS." text it the title screen. The dot is actually one of the bolts that are holding the sign up. Thanks to one of my friends for spotting it!

  • @warmCabin
    @warmCabin 4 роки тому +68

    Some insight into why this works, as I understand it:
    Nintendo wanted the high score to persist after reset. But power-on and reset both take you to the same spot in your game's code, so this couldn't be achieved without some trickery. The trickery was this: put a signature (maybe 3 or 4 bytes) at the end of RAM, and only initialize memory if that signature is _not_ present. They also checked whether the high score was valid (all digits 0-9).
    That was all fine and good for preventing corruption in most cases, but here's the problem: Tennis used the _same technique._ Same signature, same addresses, same everything. Maybe they copy/pasted their code from Stack Overflow...
    The upshot of this is that Super Mario Bros. considers RAM states from Tennis to be valid, and vice versa. That's why the world number isn't cleared and why you can explore all these places--and why the score persists when you switch from Tennis back to Mario!
    That's also why it _doesn't_ work on the rare Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartidge: the multicart reset routine does its own thing before Mario gets a chance, and I guess it clears the RAM no matter what.

    • @AlphaEnt2
      @AlphaEnt2 Рік тому +1

      And the way to set up accurately which world you want to enter is by counting the footsteps of your character right after the tennis music stopped.
      Each footstep increases the address value by 1.
      The footstep address is the same as the world addess.

    Could there be potential for a Super Mario Bros. speedrunning category called “Tennis%” or something? Where you start off in SMB, switch to Tennis, go back to SMB, and warp to World 8, and then beat the game.
    It could be a really risky thing to put your Famicom games through, though.

  • @arfansthename

    My theory said that, If you swap between Super Mario Bros. and Tennis carts, the Famicom is confused between the Tennis data, and the Super Mario Bros. data, as the games can only be loaded one at a time. So, when you're playing Tennis, a bit of Super Mario Bros was left off, the part when you took SMB, those glitched parts are left off, making its way to Tennis. Similarly, when you took off Tennis, the glitched parts are left off, mixing the SMB data and Tennis data, making their way to SMB, as a result, those mixed data mix with yet another SMB data, creating those levels.

    I have a guess as to why some are utterly random when others are real levels with the environment changed. I bet the first 2 or maybe 3 bits of the level number set the environment type, while the rest are the memory pointer for where to find the level layout. Thus, if you get 1011 1010 but a real level is 0011 1010, you’ll get a real level pallet-swapped, but if you read 1011 0001, and there isn’t a level with that address, you get weird garbage data. This is just an educated guess of course, but it’s probably close.
