Boss Analysis # 42 - Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels 

"My unimaginative mind" >1260 videos, about 20 playlists of active series and almost 75 million views Yeah, I'm gonna go with "bullshit". You're one of the most creative people I know.

I love how bowser desperately runs at you if you get past him *"NO! DON'T TOUCH THAT!"*

4-4. That one is a Spiny. Perhaps the game cannot have a spiny loaded unless a Lakitu is loaded simultaneously, and that extra hurtbox is where the devs hid the Lakitu?

According to the manual, the first "real" Bowsers in 8-4, 9-3 and D-4 are Bowser's brother. He is colored blue in the famicom version.

Fun fact about 9-1, 9-2, and 9-3: they're actually based on the minus level glitch from the first game. That's why there's a disturbing lack of enemies.

13:29 If anyone wants a reason as to why that happens, in a nutshell, because bowser throws so many hammers and there being too many active hitboxes (bowser,lava bubbles, fire breath, other hammers) some hammers themselves don't have hit boxes so you can jump past them. Its a common trick in speed running!

“lets analyze lost gay bowser”

If you don't include the two shitposts, whoisthigit has reached a new streak of 6 videos in relatively short time. That is quite impressive, good sir.

When this video gets uploaded at 1 am and no one has watched, liked or commented it yet.

13:25 Mario went full on Touhou on those hammers

Is this a boss analysis on the single most iconic video game antagonist of all time? We’re in for a treat. Jeez you’re really soaking him in that lava there.

Never thought there'd be so much to talk about regarding Bowser. Interesting

Mario 2 Japan/Lost Levels made me realize: Does Peach actually get kidnapped twice in the same game?

Fun fact! In the original SMB Lost Levels, the final boss is actually Bowser’s Brother! He looks exactly like Bowser but slightly bluer.

13:30 speedrunning manouvre right there.

"So there you go. Maybe it wasn't necessary, no one asked for it, but a Boss Analysis based purely on The Lost Levels' Bowser battles now exists." And we salute you for it sir!

bowser, one of the most used bosses yet, finally gets a video. In Mario games and in Super Smash Bros Melee's Giga Bowser , and the false bowser in Super Smash Bros Brawl's Subspace Emissary

-Bowser has minions disguised as him Nah -Bowser has [Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap] and is using the Bowsers of other dimensions Doiyan!

This gets uploaded the same day I learned Bowser had a brother colored blue in the Family Computer Disk System, appearing in world 8-4 and 9-3, he has full hammer and fire breath, but the lost levels recolored him green again

I'm inpressed you played through all 13 worlds of this difficult game just for boss analysis. You must like that game.

This is one of those pull the hair out your head games.

13:25-13:38 Whoisthisgit: All right, so how am I gonna speed run this part? Mario: I got you bro. KING CRIMSON!!!!!

Am i the one is too late too know about this channel...? Dude you're bring so much nostalgic moment. Thank you. Its really fun to watch your video... 🤘

Bowser be like “Hammer Time”

From what I know that Bowser you face first in 8-4 is supposed to be his brother.

The 14 dislikes are from the defeated Bowsers

13:40 Lucky for you there is something similar made by Level Up

*mario jumps through hammers without dying* I have several questions.

Check out the enclosed instruction book (Add any hints to help lost marios)

Fun fact: The world 8 first bowser is actually blue in the NES version. He's known as "bowser's brother".

5:25 I think bowser had too much Taco bell

13:35 I jumped through his hammers once. When I came out alive, my heart stopped for a second. The hitboxes were on my side for once.

A good way to tell Bowser is almost defeated is if he sweats (those small white circles over his head when you hit him 4 times).

A lot of people mentioned the Famicom version's blue fake Bowser in the comments, but here's another odd change. In the Famicom version, World D-4's Bowsers are both fake, and they're both Spinies. That's why they don't spew fire.

Oh, I wanted an analysis interface with Bowser like the ones you do in these videos. I love those.

That's-a lotsa of fun!

Wow, can't you just imagine, someone as cold-hearted as Mario, he just murdered a king, without turning back watching him melt. Think Peach is gonna be happy living with this psycho

Thank you I'm now ready for my final tomorrow

i'll get those plumbers! Such good times

This song is killing me xd

Something else interesting to note is that in the original Famicom version of Lost Levels, the first Bowser you encounter in 8-4 and D-4 has a different color pallet...and is actually a different character altogether, quite literally being Bowser's equivalent to Luigi. Referred to as Blue Bowser by the game's manual, he's apparently Bowser's brother? He's never since appeared in any game whatsoever. I guess he didn't take too kindly to being called "Blue Bowser" of all things...

Y'know, for how good of a compilation Super Mario All-Stars is, the last time we've seen Nintendo directly acknowledge the title was (if I recall right) the 25th Anniversary rerelease on the Wii; Closest we've got elsewhere are the Super Mario Advance titles, and the Mushroom Kingdom II stage from Melee and Ultimate, both indirectly; The latter doesn't even use the All-Stars rendition of the music.

Spiny wanted to be better than his peers, but ended up failing his goal.

Though to me Bowser was scary as a baby Specifically the final showdown on Yoshis island

0:41 now theres one thing we agree on

Imagine if D-4 Bowser spewed fireballs

Interesting, I've never knew there was more to these battles than what you see in the surface level, it just looked like more or less RNG with some different elements to make things easier or harder, but it's actually surprisingly deeper than it looks like. Even though it can be tedious when done excessively and it's generally not too great by itself, but there's something exhilarating about a non-pattern based boss in a game like this, as the alternatives in a lot of later Mario games is having a basic pattern that makes the boss essentially "free". Sure, a pattern based boss is more fair, but the problem is that later Mario games rarely have bosses that provide challenge, which makes the fairness feel like a moot point, as they just feel like beefed-up regular enemies than proper bosses. Not to say that there are no genuinely fun and challenging Mario bosses, SML2 has some fun bosses that actually require effort to beat, nothing really hard, but at least you have to try.

4:16 proves Bowser's a little jumpier than we thought.

Oh yeah. Time for some sweet analysis about one of my favorite fictional characters.

In 9-3, there's a hole in the ceiling right underneath where the pipe is, and you can jump on top of the ceiling from the left and just run past Bowser cause the screen doesn't lock like 7-4 or C-4 due to there being a flagpole instead of an axe.

real talk, Bowser lost his touch. We need a *S h a k e u p* on the typical peach-napping plot of each game imo Also that hitbox on 4-4 is extreme w a c k, Devs should've left it below the bridge(Or the wall, since nobody is gonna fireball the wall out of sheer curiosity). tldr; good video, keep up the good work for 2020 my dude

Fun fact: i the original lost levels, the first bowser in world 8, the one in world 9 and the first one in world D were blue

THERE WERE FAKE BOWSERS?? 😳

Happy end to Boss Analysis year git!

14:31 these toads have always confused me. Are they conjoined twins? Oh, and according to the original SMB2’s manual, the first bowser in 8-4 is actually bowser’s brother. He was blue in the original game to make them more distinct.

1 AM? ... ... Sure!

13:25 *Alexa play UI goku theme*

Yo guys, true story, I was playing Mario Lost Levels in All Stars (on the Wii because I'm poor). I was at world 7-4 at the King Koopa fight, he was throwin' hammers like (pew, pew, pew) and I was getting ready to jump. I took the leap, and he started throwing hammers. Then, a miracle happened. I pressed A at the perfect frequency to land in between the hammers and finish the fight! Ok, basically it was 13:25, but... sigh...

11:21 looks at the top screen... are you serious?

Will you do a boss analysis on the Kirby's Dreamland bosses, both normal and extra variations?

13:25 Ultra Instinct Mario

Ever analyzed Flash's bosses for Sega Master System? That car thing you know...

13:29 It's Matrix time!

13:27 basically Toby maguire spiderman

if nintendo can put hammer bros in the third/fourth level of their game, then they can give bowser hammers again not too much to ask, just adding some actual challenge to reaching the button/axe!

Thank

i hate it when people talk about the second NES mario game around this time of year usually means bad news for me

5-4 is a mixture of 2-4 and 3-4 because 2 + 3 = 5.

How much time you use too make this video not only the edit the fotage of this hard game?!

I came up with an idea in this game. Instead of facing the Bowser which you normally do, you face his stronger counter-part, Dry Bowser. Thought it would be fitting to give him an alternative design after this idea has been done in other games.

The Bowsers in the levels past World 8 are easier for a good reason. In the original NES cart, you only had one life to get through the extra levels! It makes the Bowsers a little more intimidating when you can’t die once to any of them.

5 Hits Till He Is Dead?! Weak! Though... I Know I Boss That Is TOO WEAK FOR WORDS. Introducing... The Cyclops King From Englanders Giants. If Whois Is Reading This, Take Notes.

what the heck was that pink thing? 14:20

Sup

snes al stars at least upgraded the games graphics 3d all stars did nothing

An entirety of a Boss Analysis video about Bowser huh? Whoisthisgit, your Bowser fanboy is showing.

Where's Bowsette ?
