    Super Mario Galaxy's LOST LEVEL ► • The Lost Level of Supe...
    The beauty of Super Mario Galaxy is that the worlds seem absolutely endless and appear to go on forever. However, this is also one of the greatest Super Mario Galaxy mysteries for me too. Does SMG's space go on forever? Or can we actually reach the end of what we see? Well, join me for a crazy adventure into space as we blast through parallel universes on our way to solving one of the biggest remaining puzzles in the game.

    Just wanted to clarify something: Skyboxes in Super Mario Galaxy are tracked with the player's position - always making the player the center of the skybox. When Mario's position coordinates are changed, the skybox's position updates as well. However, there's a tiny, tiny inaccuracy when this happens. That's our opportunity to reach the stars.

  • @deepmind5318
    @deepmind5318 4 роки тому +62

    Yes, I can definitely say that when Mario starts corrupting and mutating his body, it means that the game is losing track of its programming and no longer can behave in a stable manner. A similar body dismorphy happens in resident evil 4 if you take characters such as Ashley too far into the void. She will twitch and spasm, and stretch and collapse into her own body. Ashley becomes the most terrifying monster in the game simply by leaving the boundaries.

    • @nikkiofthevalley
      @nikkiofthevalley 9 місяців тому

      A game can't "lose track of its programming". That would just crash it if you mean memory corruption or a OOB instruction pointer. What's actually happening here is floating point inaccuracy. Floating point is a computer's version of the real numbers. (as in, 0, 0.1, 3, -2.6, etc) Since the set of all real numbers in infinite, and computers don't have infinite memory to store those infinite numbers, it has to compromise and only represent a "small" number of those infinite numbers. (It's still pretty large though, it can represent gigantic numbers perfectly fine) Floating point is also more accurate the closer you are to 0. When you're near 0, you can represent tiny numbers with very high precision. The farther you get from 0, the less precise it is. The reason for the glitchy models and such is because you're so far out, that the numbers that represent Mario's position and his model are so big that you can actually see the inaccuracies as you're moving. It's basically being rounded to the nearest floating point number. This is actually happening at all times, but it's so tiny that it's not noticeable whatsoever in normal gameplay.

    Hmm, interesting that Loopdeeloop Galaxy's second part is so far away from the starting point/hard to reach, especially given that you can reach the water in Loopdeeswoop Galaxy with a mere backflip and spin. Wonder why they set things up differently here?
    As for the wrong warp, well my theory is that area interiors are stored way out of bounds, with Mario warped inside them whenever you enter the door/loading zone. After all, those puzzle rooms you find 'underground' are stored in giant cubes outside the main portion of the level, so why couldn't the observatory rooms be the same way? Presumably then the Luma would be invisible since you didn't load it in properly by using the normal loading zone.
    Either way though, it's an interesting video, and one that demonstrates just how mind bogglingly massive the areas technically are in Super Mario Galaxy.

    • @smrpggenogaming
      @smrpggenogaming 4 роки тому +31

      Hiya! The dome areas aren't stored on the same map as the Observatory - they're their own separate levels in the game code. Lumas must be spawned into memory by a trigger, but their shadows are permanent objects that persist even when you aren't close enough to load them. This is why we theorized the parallel universe theory!

    there's a similar thing in the original Spyro games. In certain levels, you can trigger a glitch that allows you to swim through the air and go way out of bounds. In particular, Summer Forest. It doesn't take quite as long as here, but if you swim up for long enough, you'll eventually encounter a duplicate summer forest devoid of items and collision. In the Spyro games, this is how they stored spare textures used in cutscenes etc. This is likely what's happening in Super Mario Galaxy. Spare textures stored WAY off where the player can't access them through normal means. It cuts down on load times if things like this are pre-rendered elsewhere.

    Wow...that was cool! I always thought SMG's skyboxes never moved relative to your position, that you were always at the center of them because that's what it looks like. They do behave that way, but it's cool how they don't behave perfectly in that regard; it's cool how you can break that like this and eventually surpass them. With most other 3D games I've seen, Mario included, it doesn't take that much to breach the skyboxes like this, I guess they're much smaller than Galaxy's. Also, that Fountain warp was really strange, it's really surprising how that happened, since the domes as far as I'm aware, unlike the bonus rooms in galaxies which are on the same map but out in the distance, are on a separate map from the Comet Observatory and thus there should be no way to reach them. And yet there it was, complete with the shooting stars that appear on the world map once you grab the pull star.

  • @Lefty7788tinkatolli
    @Lefty7788tinkatolli 4 роки тому +1

    I write stories where me and some friends have jumped into a videogame and have to beat all the levels to escape.
    In one edition of this story, I did play around with the idea of breaking through the skybox by going insanely far out. My character somehow accidentally enabled a god mode (makes sense in the context of the story), and then set his speed to insanely high and flew out, because he always wanted to see what was beyond the skybox. One of his dreams was always to reach the skybox. With his god mode hacks, he finally reached it, but then came across a blue void. Unfortunately, right then, he accidentally broke out of god mode and was left floating in the blue void for all eternity until he died. A rather grim ending but typical of my stories.
    This story was inspired by Super Mario Galaxy and its skyboxes. As a kid, I ALWAYS wanted to reach the edge of the skybox in Toy Time. I always figured it could never be reached due to being centered around you. And now all these years later, you've come along and shown that it CAN INDEED be reached just by going insanely far out..... I can't even process this right now.
