      Beta64 You guys should show the linked Bowser rooms and perform the "Bowser can't breathe fire" glitch when you play live! I did this all the time as a kid but it appears virtually unknown online despite me trying to spread it. Also, if you play the Japanese version you can do the World 9 Warp Zone scrolling glitch without hacking the game (use a warp whistle while in the canoe then press left).

    The reason why some background details are on the sprite layer is to work around the 4 colors per 8x8 square limitation.
    As for the masking sprites at the pipes, the NES has two options for sprites. Behind the background, or in front of the background. This option can be chosen only for each 8x16 (or sometimes 8x8) unit of the sprite. Since the object that emerges or disappears into pipe can move smoother than that, a workaround is needed.
    They place a dummy 16x16 behind-the-background sprite at the edge of the pipe. This makes it invisible. However, when Mario, or a piranha plant coincides with the pipe, the PPU will not draw Mario at that location, because the PPU can only process one sprite per each pixel. And that opportunity is already taken by the invisible dummy sprite.

  • @Dwedit
    @Dwedit 7 років тому +204

    On the NES, there are two ways to draw sprites behind the background.
    The first way is to set the sprite flags as "behind background", then it will be behind *everything* in the background. This was used in older games. The sprite will be drawn behind everything that isn't a simple sky color.
    You see this effect in games like Super Mario Bros 1, and Hogan's Alley.
    The second way is to place a higher priority sprite (the masking sprite) as "behind background", then place a lower priority sprite (player, mushroom, etc) on top of it. The higher priority sprite (masking sprite) will prevent pieces of the lower priority sprite (player, mushroom, etc) from being drawn. This allows the sprite to appear behind a block, but other parts of the sprite can still be in front of a complex background.

      These days, you have thousands upon thousands of sprite layers to choose from... more than you'd ever need, especially with how dominant and easy to make 3D is.

    • @KuraIthys
      @KuraIthys 7 років тому +6

      Well, yeah, but that's because the concept of a hardware sprite basically isn't used anymore.
      On a modern system you mimic this either in software, or using texture mapping hardware with the camera locked to a specific distance and orientation.
      PC's never had sprite or background layers at all, so any 2d PC game that appeared to use tiles and sprites was doing all the work on the CPU.
      PC graphics cards were really dumb. Basically all you had was video memory and some framebuffers.
      If you wanted to do anything at all with that, you had to do it in software and calculate the change in the frame manually, then send the data to the graphics card.
      meanwhile something like an SNES had huge amounts of dedicated functions for dealing with background layers, tiles, scrolling and movable sprites, as well as various weird graphical effects.
      Then, later on, 3d accelerator cards happened and PC's suddenly gained a lot of specialist functionality too, but all of it was designed for 3d, not 2d.
      Nowadays GPU's are close to being fully programmable, and a 2d engine built to run on a GPU can basically use as many backgrounds and sprites as it likes, and the only real limitation is how much memory you have.
      For instance an snes background layer could have 3 backgrounds of up to 64x64 tiles, which are 8x8, and about 1024 such tiles.
      Each individual tile, if using 16 colours per tile (which is the most common type), uses 32 bytes.
      Which means 1024 tiles use 32 kilobytes.
      (The data structure for a 64x64 tile background layer is 8kb, so that's another 24 kb.)
      So... Leaving aside issues about how you design maps, what can you do with a modern, fairly low end GPU with 4 gigabytes of RAM?
      Well, if you keep the same type and amount of tiles... How about background layers that are 16,384x16384 tiles in size? Well, the tilemap for each such layer would take up 512 megabytes, so you could have 8 of those.
      Or... Let's extend the number of tiles allowed by making each entry 32 bits instead of 16 like on the snes.
      That means that same tilemap takes up 1024 megabytes, so you only get 4...
      But, now you get 2^26 (67,108,864) possible tiles, instead of 1024
      But what do you need to store that many tiles? Well, 2 gigabytes in fact.
      So you could have that many tiles, and two layer worth of such tiles...
      And you'd be able to fit it in 4 gigabytes of VRAM.
      Of course, 16,386x16384 is 268,435,456 entries which means you have to re-use the same tile at least 4 times...
      But This is the kind of absurdity that you could do on a modern system.
      It's not ACTUALLY unlimited, but it's so huge compared to the 8 bit and 16 bit era, that it might as well be.

      I think the Commodore 64 actually had a graphics card for 2d things like background layers and sprites. It's just that DOS computers were designed for office software rather than for games.

  • @CaptainSouthbird
    @CaptainSouthbird 7 років тому +265

    Shameless plug: I reverse engineered all of SMB3 into a disassembly and made the hack 3Mix. With that out of the way:
    0:30 All "level styles" generate a default expanse of tiles as appropriate to their theme. The Throne Room actually uses the "Fortress" style of tiles, with just a graphics set unique to the throne room. This texture is just a glitched-looking version of the (admittedly unusual) texture you see in the "wrong-way" portions of Bowser's castle.
    1:37 This actually isn't a specific "death trigger", it's an erroneous application of the routine that causes "crush death" in autoscroll levels. Mario is in "cinematic" mode and is running automatically to the right outside of normal movement code. Normally the game prevents Mario from moving too far to the right, but "cinematic" mode Mario is able to, which causes an 8-bit math operation to produce a technically incorrect result and think that Mario actually has fallen too far left (and thus was "crushed.")
    1:50 Really none of this should be a surprise. Even games today have alternate rooms and the like in the same level space. SMB3 specifically only ever toggles between a "main" and "alternate" section of a level, with a few rare exceptions such as the "Big [?] Bonus room" pipes. So there's only ever so much accessible grid space available.
    2:18 This seems cooler than it is. The world map code used to check what tiles can be entered is actually just a lot of lazy range checking. "If tile ID is greater than X but less than Y" type stuff. So there's quite a few tiles that just get thrown in the mix purely coincidentally. They do not actually indicate "lost" development or anything so fun. And of course, the "secret glitch levels" if you will is just that the game falls out of world map mode and into gameplay mode with mostly nulled out data, in particular there's no proper handling for the world map as gameplay tile data. Everything else is luck of the draw in the world map logic and chaotic memory to dictate where you end up.
    3:15 Limitation of the BG layer on NES of course... a sprite can only be fully behind or fully in front of it. So they used sprites to fake it being "under" the border. Also, if the map is scrolling left or right the border needs to temporarily be represented as sprites because there's no additional layer to the background.
    3:40 Again, no surprise here. SMB3 can only have the "main" level and its "alternate", so naturally all bonus rooms and goal are just there. I wouldn't call existing maps "inaccurate" because they don't detail the grid precisely as it physically exists, however.
    4:25 Correct that the pipes can't obscure as Nintendo wanted. Sprites can only be in front of or behind the background layer. This explains why Mario "vanishes" in the original Super Mario bros when he enters the pipe at the end of a water level; he flopped behind the BG layer. However, there's a quirk in the PPU that a sprite behind the background can overwrite a sprite in the foreground if it is in memory in the right order. Nintendo took advantage of that here so that they could have complex backgrounds in their levels but still have the player and enemies appear "behind" the pipe. The sprite choice incidentally is mostly arbitrary so long as it covers all pixels.
    5:05 Maps always scroll by default; it's an opt-in to disable that functionality. It's not disabled but it doesn't matter because you can't get there anyway. Also that rule of "Mario will wind up on the other side of the screen" applies to gameplay logic, not world maps. There's never a map that has Mario wrap horizontally so there's no code for that. He will APPEAR to wrap horizontally beyond a scroll end if you do that, but he actually logically thinks he's gone to the next screen and all data will be wrong.
    5:32 In this case, you did find something unused! There's actually a "Large Fortress" tile. When you compare it to the in-use "mini fortress" tile, there's an analogy there to the original Super Mario Bros. "little fort at the end of levels except the fourth" and the "big castle" after the fourth level of every world. This possibly suggested a direct reference to the original game would have been in place on the map at some point. Incidentally, the game is even coded to have the large fortress "crumble" like the smaller one does. (It does not have a unique tile for this, however, and just uses the same rubble tile.) The fact that it gets "devoured" by map animations does suggest it was cut early in development.
    6:07 Partially correct. But they also intended there to be other hosts (a Koopa Troopa and a Hammer Bro) so it made sense for that to be swapable. Though arguably you could do that with BG tiles too.
    7:20 Correct, all SMB3 levels by default generate a default stylistic set of tiles that were convenient for level builders and saved on space by taking care of the "greatest need." However, the "glitchy wall" would never be visible normally because the game locks the horizontal levels at a maximum of 15 screens of scrolling. Whatever method you're using to bypass the limit is allowing it to go further than the game would ever allow anyway. So really nothing "ends" with a glitchy wall, you're just breaking the game... more.
    7:45 This is actually the only special case exception to world map drawing if I remember correctly. But it was probably done just due to palette / drawing limitations of the PPU. That is, they could never have that complex, round looking cloud over the "way down below" part of the map without it being the wrong color on one or the other. The fact it covers Mario is probably just coincidence.
    8:23 It's square due to the technical limitation of how the background layer words. The sprite overlay just makes it look nicer.
    8:28 There aren't technically "brown skulls." What you've mixed up is the game is using special code to make the "spotlight" effect, but it lazily ignores the border, so it's overwriting it with a full skull tile that normally shouldn't go there. If you were to hack the game to break the darkness overlay completely or you view the raw world map data you'll find it's just a normal, bordered map grid like any other. There are a lot of additional skull tiles off the path, though. (Which becomes revealed by 9:20)

    Aren't the "glitchy walls" the game trying to read RAM as level elements?

      Gabriel Mann: The Glitchy walls the first screen of glitchy wall his the RAM, the 2nd screen of Glitchy wall his the ROM. When Mario goes through a level normally without any glitch, and/or hack, he his in the WRAM, and the WRAM his from $6000 to $7FFF(left to Right in horizontal levels but from top to buttom in vertical levels) and the level ending his way before $7FFF, so that his why you see empty space, way before you start to see the RAM the RAM his $0000 to $0FFF, and after that the ROM Start $9FFF to $8000( depending on the version your using the ROM that start after $0FFF, can be $AFFF to $9000, or $BFFF to $A000, or $CFFF to $B000, or $DFFF to $C000, or $EFFF to $D000, or finially $FFFF to $E000) Different version used different ROM, but they all have something similar the ROM his backward, if you continued going pass the ROM it goes to $1000 to $1FFF to finish the RAM, in horizontal level after that it start again after that on $6000, in Virtical levels after $1000 to $1FFF to finish the RAM it goes to $2000 to $3FFF(PPU Control)(still looks like glitchy wall) and then $4000 to $5FFF( That his the APU. EXT)and then you return to $6000 your back to the top of the level. I might be wrong on something if I am wrong on something @Shesez can correct me if he knows about this.

  • @MidnightMechanic
    @MidnightMechanic 7 років тому

    I believe A+Start mentioned this on one of his Son of a Glitch videos, the glitchy walls are actually used to host the RAM image of what's contained in a level/map. This means the game can be 'modified' by messing around with those tiles to change memory addresses that then have the possibility of warping the player to a mystery location. That's also the reason those normally inaccessible glitchy levels on the maps are there as well.

      From 5:18 in the video: "And if we speed the game up 6,400 times its regular speed..." He should have said "64 times its regular speed" (or "to 6,400% of its regular speed").

    Yes, NES has only 1 tile layer + the sprite layer, its so restrictive :D
    I think the glitchy wall is when the game start to read bites that arent alocated for the room. So it could be bites of code that the game try to read as graphic, so yes, you can picture code that arent pictures

      I theorize that A+Start is the triforce of power because he has the highest sub count. Beta 64 is the triforce of wisdom because he has to do the most amount of research. And Im just courage because what is courage really good for youtube

    I'm not sure how well known this is , but Mario is able to glitch through two walls in Bowser's Castle by flying while crouching and landing on the small space above the two separate statues. When he stands up, he will be pushed through the wall to the next area.
