In Cantonese there's a colloquialism called 等到頸都長埋, which translates to "waiting for so long that my neck has grown long" Mario has interpreted the sentence perfectly
My favorite thing is that it's a legit game mechanic, despite the thematic absurdity. The comedy had me smiling the entire time; my cheeks are a little sore now. I definitely hope we get the full length version of this one.
Fun fact...this is what Shigeru Miyamoto originally INTENDED for Super Mario Bros. to be like. He just couldn't make it work properly with the hardware at the time.
Yeah an then he proceeded to mount his magic unicorn throughout the sky with his flag earther friend and destroy Marth with laser beams thanks to his big powerup for revenge.
i wonder what a speedrun of this would look like needing to balance having the optimal neck length whilst also needing sections of small neck to avoid lag and having to play for which is a bigger time save with keeping a long neck and lagging but having to wait less and whatnot
I was wondering what would happen with the infinite 1-up trick. I didn’t even think about the 8k kick. That neck coming out of the pipe was hilarious. This was amazing!
What an utterly bizarre yet fascinating concept for a challenge hack. I think the only thing that would make this funnier is if the creator had edited Toad's sprites to make him looking upward.
The Lanky Mario intro story. 7:55 Has anyone in the history of Mario ever broken those two bricks? 16:27 I like how longcat Mario lags the game. 19:40 Extraordinary lag--the HUD glitches out. It's amazing how warped modifications like this can expose interesting dev decisions. Like: (vvvvRead more) 4:25 Placing Mario in a standby state entering a Coin Haven at a specific position instead of spawning Mario as soon as the vine is finished. 6:00 The timing of the deletion of Mario's sprite. 9:30 Mario being flung off screen, but velcroed to the left edge while continuing to fall for a few more frames.
I don't think Albatross exist in the Mushroom Kingdom but, at one point, you certainly had a *_Lakitus around your neck_* trying to prevent you from getting to the *_necks level._* In addition, those HammerBro's seemed like a real *_pain in the neck._* I can only imagine you must've *_had it up to your neck_* with all that lag, as well. If Mario wasn't perpetually *_rubber-neckin_* the Princess, none of this would be *_neckessary._* Thankfully, you were willing to *_stick your neck out_* for us to complete this challenge. You, Niftski, and GTAce should have a speedrun competition on this *_breakneck_* RomHack. I bet it would be *_neck and neck_* between Kosmic and Niftski, but there's no doubt GTAce would be *_breathin' down both of your necks_* the whole time. Regardless, the Wu-Tang Clan was head and shoulders above the rest when they so eloquently warned us, "protect ya fuggin' neck, ninja!"
Thought i'd be bored of this vid by the 2 min mark given that it only has only one new mechanic, but your reactions are so hilarious and i ended up watching the whole thing, busted a gut at cloudhead mario :D
I really enjoy the “Vanilla” rom hacks where it changes something about the original game, like this or the backwards-upside-down one. Great content, and congrats on 150k subs!

Mario has interpreted the sentence perfectly
That's a very interesting expression. I like it.
Wow. I had no idea
This takes it to a whole new level. It's neck and shoulders and neck
😂
Some say it’s not courageous to play video games for a living, but I think Kosmic really sticks his neck out there when playing these rom hacks.
Leave me alone b****
I was really hoping Peach would ask Mario how the weather is up there.
It's very practical for underwater levels. Don't have to worry about Mario running out of air.
He's his own snorkel!
This makes Weird Mario from Mario Maker look normal
Now we need a romhack where Mario becomes wider instead of higher.
One where his nose grows. Pinocchio Mario!
Peach's neck didn't grow at the end is definitely a CRIME.
She should’ve been a Rokurokubi
This out of context
Thank you Mario, but your head is in another castle.
It's because of racism.
If that happened I'd laugh till I cried
My favorite thing is that it's a legit game mechanic, despite the thematic absurdity. The comedy had me smiling the entire time; my cheeks are a little sore now. I definitely hope we get the full length version of this one.
You want a lengthier version?
This is the best meme hack of SMB1 I have ever seen
stone
chlorophyte
Props to the creator of this hack. Very impressive game design, a soft touch with the mechanics and just enough to make it playable and fresh
Fun fact...this is what Shigeru Miyamoto originally INTENDED for Super Mario Bros. to be like. He just couldn't make it work properly with the hardware at the time.
Yeah an then he proceeded to mount his magic unicorn throughout the sky with his flag earther friend and destroy Marth with laser beams thanks to his big powerup for revenge.
judging by that dark forest level in mario wonder im pretty sure that this is true
Imagine running through the glitched worlds with crazy neck Mario.
That moving downward stomp-mechanic really saved Mario's neck.
Mario may have his head in the clouds, but he's always willing to stick his neck out for the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom.
i wonder what a speedrun of this would look like
needing to balance having the optimal neck length whilst also needing sections of small neck to avoid lag and having to play for which is a bigger time save with keeping a long neck and lagging but having to wait less and whatnot
Are you the real viIlanunner
I imagine it would be on most levels long neck and get above thw cieling but i dunno how youd deal with bowser fire
@@julymorris6367 damage boost
This is one the greatest things I've ever seen...and I still have no idea what I just watched.
Now that's taking the lanky Mario power up from MM1 to a whole new level
Watching Mario go from 1-1 to 1-2 was actually comedy gold
This hack adds a surprising strategic element to the game and I like it
14:09 It... It's beautiful
Can't wait for the next hack where you play as a tiny flagpole and you grab Long-neck-small-fire-Mario to finish each level
I was wondering what would happen with the infinite 1-up trick.
I didn’t even think about the 8k kick.
That neck coming out of the pipe was hilarious.
This was amazing!
crazy they actually put this in mario wonder
The creation of this hack is humanity's greatest achievement.
Interesting the firebars can hit the neck, but not regular enemies
Yeah he made it specially like that for firebars so it would be beatable, haha
You beat this just in the neck of time.
This should've been called "Super Giraffe Brothers". Great video as always!
"Thank you mar- wait it's not mario, Mario is short"
Toad: "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"
Mario: "Yeah, I can see her from up here"
Therapist: Long Mario can't hurt you
Long Mario:
Long Mario: *is moving down
Man this romhack looks like a real pain in the neck.
I was really hoping that 14:13 would make his neck grow negative, but cursed small/tall fire still came out ahead of expectations.
This is way funnier than it should be, another glorious video as always!
Kosmic really went for the jugular with this video
This rom hack really stands head and shoulders above the rest.
No, it's just the head
This game is over 35 years old and 32Kb in size and yet it's still entertaining.
40 KB, actually, but yeah.
Finally, Mario is able to do Engineer’s “Nope.”
The fact that the neck was a powerful weapon but only while moving downwards made me laugh
18:16 that hammer bro just didn’t care about the shell hitting it
THIS IS THE BEST ROMHACK WEDNESDAY OF ALL!! I CANT STOP LAUGHING
They predicted Super Mario Wonder
Man I didn't know Mario could get this ahead of himself
This is probably the first romhack Wednesday video that had me in tears laughing! 🤣
This is so hilarious that someone even thought of this
Imagine if instead of vine growing it would be Mario's head slowly emerging from below the clouds
This romhack is so stupid yet somehow really well made? And not too glitchy at all? How??
3:16 his head is in the clouds... literally
By far one of your most entertaining videos
I couldn't stop laughing. I love everything about it haha
What an utterly bizarre yet fascinating concept for a challenge hack. I think the only thing that would make this funnier is if the creator had edited Toad's sprites to make him looking upward.
Never thought I'd see a man kill another by only using his neck
THANK YOU MARIO!
BUT YOUR HEAD IS
IN ANOTHER CASTLE!
Patrick: (guffawing) IT'S A GIRAFFE!! (continues on guffawing)
When mario BECOMES the flagpole
lol i also love how even when big mario the head stays as the small mario sprite
First you had Shiny Teeth and Me, now you have Doug Dimmadome, Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome
You finally did it. This is it. This is actually The. Weirdest. Romhack.
I see the designers had to stake their belief on "Fireballs from mouth" versus "Fireballs from hand."
I like in his "death" animation, it's his torso thats been made tall rather than the neck as his arms are up
The Lanky Mario intro story.
7:55 Has anyone in the history of Mario ever broken those two bricks?
16:27 I like how longcat Mario lags the game. 19:40 Extraordinary lag--the HUD glitches out.
It's amazing how warped modifications like this can expose interesting dev decisions. Like: (vvvvRead more)
4:25 Placing Mario in a standby state entering a Coin Haven at a specific position instead of spawning Mario as soon as the vine is finished.
6:00 The timing of the deletion of Mario's sprite.
9:30 Mario being flung off screen, but velcroed to the left edge while continuing to fall for a few more frames.
this is 100x better than what i would expect if you just tell me the only thing different from the vanilla version is his neck
Now lets see some fan art of giraffe mario staring down at the princess.
I don't think Albatross exist in the Mushroom Kingdom but, at one point, you certainly had a *_Lakitus around your neck_* trying to prevent you from getting to the *_necks level._* In addition, those HammerBro's seemed like a real *_pain in the neck._* I can only imagine you must've *_had it up to your neck_* with all that lag, as well. If Mario wasn't perpetually *_rubber-neckin_* the Princess, none of this would be *_neckessary._* Thankfully, you were willing to *_stick your neck out_* for us to complete this challenge.
You, Niftski, and GTAce should have a speedrun competition on this *_breakneck_* RomHack. I bet it would be *_neck and neck_* between Kosmic and Niftski, but there's no doubt GTAce would be *_breathin' down both of your necks_* the whole time.
Regardless, the Wu-Tang Clan was head and shoulders above the rest when they so eloquently warned us, "protect ya fuggin' neck, ninja!"
The "downwards kills" with the long neck just reminds me of the bow for a violin
This was so fricken funny. Shout out to your friend who made this. One of the best mario hacks.
Thought i'd be bored of this vid by the 2 min mark given that it only has only one new mechanic, but your reactions are so hilarious and i ended up watching the whole thing, busted a gut at cloudhead mario :D
This romhack actually has a really cool gameplay loop
Such an absurd romhack, you can't help but laugh along with Kosmic 😂
*"Super Giraffe Bros"*
I like how in the death sprite, his hands go above the neck.
When Mario literally has his head in the clouds.
I'm only a couple minutes into this and I haven't stopped smiling. You're the coolest man.
3:25 I died laughing when you died trying 😆💀
I love how it makes sense and doesn't make sense at the same time
I really wanna know how this works on a technical standpoint
Additional sprites and hitboxes for each segment of his neck, possibly? It would explain the extreme slowdown at times.
I hate it when Bowser shoots fire into my neck
Man, I wish I could experience the beginning of this hack for the first time again. Absolutely hilarious.
I can’t believe Mario does a great giraffe cosplay
Okay, this has to be the funniest rom hack ever, lol
When Mario gets excited, his head grows... Look how excited he is!
This is the greatest rom hack of all time
i watched and like all tomhack wednesdays , but this one was the best
I watched this mess unfold…it was spectacular
4:55 the real way Mario hold his breath for so long in underwater stages
You're the strongest Mario player. One who brings great strength to our hearts
2:14 that's cause you're not supposed to fight him, you're supposed to hug him, like I am right now 🫂
Roses are red,
this video ain't lame.
This is the WEIRDEST
Mario Game.
yes
This is what you say when you share this video in particular to someone else
I really enjoy the “Vanilla” rom hacks where it changes something about the original game, like this or the backwards-upside-down one.
Great content, and congrats on 150k subs!
The fact that this is even remotely possible…
[Hawk Hollywood theme starts playing]
11:15 that would have been so sick if that worked!
who would even waste their time making this?
(hi i made this)
b0b/jroweboy Appreciation thread
Amazing truly inspiring
Top quality programming as always!
9:35 when the damage sound syncs with the music
When mario has fire flower,he looks like he spits fire lol
Yo yo, my mans Mario here be spittin' fire, straight up, no cap!
Level up viewers know this is supposed to be Luigi
So glad that my greatest accomplishment in twitch-chattery was immortalized at 12:36
This isn't necksactly what i was neckspecting
you could say it's un-neck-spected
This is bananas, I've never laughed so hard on a mario 1 gameplay XDDDD
OMG what if the health system was specifically changed so that if mario got hit, his neck shrunk a bit instead?
I never would have thought of it but dang this really odd romhack was fun to watch. And now knowing they exist I want to see more lol
I really don't know how necksactly start to describe this ROM hack
18:16 That shell went through the hammer bro. Talk about glitch!
