It's a Troll Level With a Timer... HOW ABOUT THAT? 

I find I enjoy the SMM1 videos more than the SMM2 videos becauseit feels like there's a goal, what with there being 6 levels. It also feels more cohesive and like there's more variety and more challenge.

I enjoy 100 Mario much better than endless. Having the ability to actually complete the challenge is more enjoyable

I also really enjoy viewing Mario Maker 1 videos over its successor. All that stinky cheese like over the spikes on top of the level, the ancient very predictable troll meta, the overlay pipes... And the simplicity. The endless runs have become stale to me, but 100 man never gets old! Keep it up!!

Nice run, fast and clean :-) And not that I want to critique your videos, but what happended to the level-editor? I always likes when you pointed out if there was actually a dev-star hidden afterwards. Keep up the great videos and thanks!

Mm1 has more variety because there isn't a boo button. Most mm2 levels are either basic platforming, kaizo, or generic

I was very sad when it looked like we had abandoned 100 Mario for a bit. SMM1 is where the glory is at, 💯

I've been traveling a lot lately. Feeling lonely af but somehow the nostalgia from the Mario music and you're video styles make me feel so much better. Thank you for what you do and do trip about me, I'll feel better soon 😉

"I guess you're not really riding them, you're just using them." 🤣

I like SMM1 more as well, for two key reasons. The first is really just for my own purposes - I make music levels almost exclusively, and they're actually easier to make, less obstacles to get around, in SMM1. Second, you could download levels to view in SMM1, letting you get around stupid dev paths/blocks. (One reason they took that away in SMM2 was to stop plagiarized levels. Understandable. However, I've personally had my levels plagiarized two times that I was made aware of. I reported them both to Nintendo, and they were both removed. Simple. And for other possible instances that I didn't find out about? Well, if I never find out, then I also don't really care.) And then other fun stuff, like all the mystery shroom costumes.

I am very happy that you returned to making more SMM1 100 man. The runs in SMM2 have, as you yourself called it, no sense of achievement, no goal in sight. In SMM2 you will never be able to achieve such suspense as you did in your perfect run some videos ago. Keep it up and have a nice day :)

An all NSMBU theme run today, wasn't expecting that

I prefer MM1 because it is so much more random. In MM2 I sometimes find myself getting bored but never in MM1. Is there someway to find unclear levels and attempt to do them all? I think that would be awesome

I cant decide whether I like 1 or 2 more but I am very happy to watch you play MM1 as you seem happier and more invested.

i like watching you play MM1 more than 2, espically when you get random costumes

I still say I prefer the SMM2 stuff, butthe 1 stuff is good, too. I'd say a mix of the two is probably the best option.

I love your SMM1 videos, especially the 100 Mario. They never get old because the levels are so random and it is satisfying to see you finish, given the difficulty of the challenge.

Watching Ryu play SMM1 is WAY better than watching him play SMM2. The simplicity of levels, the crudeness, the cheese-ableness, the abundance of bad levels w/o a “boo” button - it all delivers a much more enjoyable experience. And that matters because, after all, Ryu is all about fun gameplay. Like, CarlSagan42 is about troll levels, and those are way better on SMM2. But Ryu? It’s all about the gameplay, and the SMM1 gameplay is just more fun. Plus the 100-Mario challenge and costumes raise things up several notches as well. All that to say, I’m glad he’s enjoying his return to SMM1 because I certainly am.

I knew that last level was gonna suck as soon as I looked at the time left in the video 😂

Yes Mr. Ryukahr, SMM1 more enjoyable. It is also way more enjoyable to watch you play. The variety of the levels is much better and there’s an actual goal. Please don’t stop doing SMM1 videos... ever!

We will never know what it's nice with pipe transitions 5:38

I personally prefer mario maker 1 when it comes to watching the game, I havent played either one of them, but the 100 lives expert/super expert feels way more enjoyable than the infinite runs in SMM2, kinda sad that they didnt add the normal 100 lives into that game, also the glitches/tech in SMM1 seem more fun

Gotta bring back ‘Get big for Peach’ It was like a victory cry. Feels empty without it

Same here, your return to SMM has prompted me to return to watching your stuff. SMM2 is just too…curated, not to mention the better format of 100 man in SMM. There has to be some Nintendo employee who is aware of this…

>"blind jump" >has indicators along the entire length of the jump :thinking:

I have been watching your videos for about 3 or 4 years now, I have really enjoyed watching your no skip series for 100 mario, I would say I enjoy 100 mario a lot more then endless, although having the extra content from mario maker 2 is still fun to watch, but I don't really enjoy endless as much just because the only goal is to get the furthest you can. mario maker 1 is just a classic, and no matter which game you play, its still a lot of fun to watch. love your videos, and keep it up!

MM1 makes for better storylines with 100 Mario. But I disagree that the simplicity makes it superior. I do think the extra content and extra years of practice gives an advantage to MM2 levels.

I really like both SMM1 and SMM2 in different ways. Like you said, SMM2 feels a lot more polished, and I think the quality of levels you can make and play is just a lot higher than SMM1. This being said, SMM1 has a whole different feel because you're just constantly trying to outsmart the most insane, Little Timmy levels, and that's super interesting to watch; it makes every single level feel like a puzzle. I would absolutely be in favor of moving towards more SMM1 content, but I'd like to see SMM2 every once in a while as well!!

Yes to SMM1 content. I prefer these crude videos

7:28 Thumbnail. 13:30 The actual title level. ): 0:45 YeeeEEEEET! 1:02 Benevolent level creator (who knows how to use sound effects). 1:14 🧀 4:45 I'd like to try, but the permanent non-discount price is above my rate. /: 8:20 SMM1 and SMM2 have their distinct charms and place here. I worry about burnout (creator or viewer) doing only one of them. A 50/50 mix of SMM1/2 Super Expert would be capital. (:

“You dirty beetle butthole!“ Gonna have to use that someday.

It’s a wonder why Nintendo didn’t bring 100-man to MM2… that game mode alone compared to endless puts MM1 over MM2 for me

Most of the time I see a sponsor in someone’s vids I fast forward through them but Ryu does such a good job at them I like to watch it! Love the content. Thanks RYU

My man barely started the level and he's already cheesing it, although I imagine the creator used the cheese to beat it.

100 mario challenge is definitely more fun and satisfying than endless, the sad part is the fact that there can't ever be any actually new smm1 content.

Awwwww. I was really curious about that last level. Probably my favorite aspect of your Mario Maker 1 videos is going into the level editor and finding the dev cheats. Gets a laugh out of me literally every single time and I think I always remember to like the video too.

That recovery to the platform followed by yeeting the p switch had me rolling.

I like MM2 over MM1 if I had to play it, but MM1 content on RU-vid especially from Ryu is much more preferable than MM2.

I love your hello fresh ads. Never skip them😂

Ryu for the win! Happy Sunday sir

I really don't understand how Ryu still does not have over 1M subs. He's so wholesome and fun to watch. I guess it's because retro games and Mario are not as popular as other gaming categories, but oh well.

Mario Maker 1 loves their new soup castle

From a viewing perspective the games are fairly similar. Watching a level in SMM2 isnt much different from watching a level in SMM1. Something i do prefer about SMM2 is the Endless mode. Always exciting when you have good runs. Sometimes you get down to 6 lives in 3 levels and still manage to complete 11 levels total with some insane clutch. While in SMM1 if you have a good run its like "Sure you completed 6 levels in 4 lives, but who really cares - its still 6 levels". So i would give my vote SMM2 simply for the content.

I like whatever you like because you're a joy to watch. Mm1, mm2 whatever gives us more content.

okay but in your mario maker 2 VS videos (3 or 4 only) you were laughing way more than mm1 videos. putting them in the top 10 most enjoyable mario Ryukahr videos.

You should try to do some kind of crazy series where you try to beat hundred man with EVERY power up you can. So Mario has to greet peach in a helicopter outfit, leaf powerup, shelmets, ect

I think a lot of it comes down to 100 Man Mario- and it seems a lot of the comments are in agreement. It would be so easy to add 100MM in to SMM2, I don't even know what the argument against adding it in at this point would be? If they ever decide to shut down MM1's servers, they have to add 100MM in to SMM2 at the VERY least.

"I love mm1 more than mm2" Then greatest troll level ever stomps on his face.

You can tell Ryu watched a lot of dashie levels...bringing out the momentemum

0:47 Nice throw! I Laughed out loud, never change Ryu! Also, beards looking good! I mean...SMM1 has costumes, 100 man challenge *that has a ending* SMM2 has....endless mode, multiplayer mode, and a boo system, which I like, btw. I really like the costumes, so I'd say MM1 is my preferred MM game

That spring drop ground pound save was impressive!!

I like SMM1 but would still like to see 2 from you every so often

He forgot to mention that Mario Maker 1 has better sound effects like the disco effect, the drunk effect and the ringing telephone

i still haven't decided which game i like more but I can say that 100 man is better than endless. if a mario maker 3 happens both modes should exist... actually custom modes should be included. starting lives, number of levels, skip or no skip, maybe even earn skip. it all should be customizable. point is mm2 needs a mode where you can actually win

I honestly don’t watch your Mario maker 2 videos. I love how simple Mario maker 1 is, just the level designs in general just feel more enjoyable to watch for some reason.

You know, you wouldn't be the only one, in the popular SMM YTers domain, since Ceave has the same preference to SMM1, but on the building than playing side Edit: Spammer in reply, please report

I like MM2 better, actually! I love the potential for infinitely long runs!! I like that 6 isn’t the last level and I love Ryuvenge! No way to go wrong with Ryu though, awesome content no matter what

I find MM1 better for funnier troll, hot garbage and kaizo levels but I like the amount creativity that can go into MM2 levels more with the newer features like Link and SMB2 costume and the Koopa kids.

I prefer mm1 but alternating is kinda the best, even if it's mm2 once a week just as a change of pace

Hello Fresh is my all time favorite sponsor cuz u usually use it to show off your fancy microwave.

Plus the costumes in SMB1 were great.

I haven’t come to Ryu’s channel for weeks, and just now when I searched for it, I noticed Ryu in this video’s thumbnail is looking cool, I thought at the moment “this is a very handsome picture of him in a while”, and next second I realized “oh he cut the beard, no wonder”

10:20 LMAO!

10:14 Famous last words

Mario Maker 1 is MILES ahead of Mario Maker 2. I'm glad you finally said it, as most of us were already saying and thinking it.

12:38 best part

1:08 hey, it's a me, Ryu!

“Dear Mario, please come to the castle. I got a Hello Fresh subscription to make you food. Yours truly, Princess Toadstool, Peach!”

I 100% enjoy SMM1 content better, that's my personal preference. 100 man especially, because there's a goal at the end it's always quite pleasing to watch.

I love 100 man way more then endless please keep doing 100 man

Thanks for them contents!

love mm1 pls don't ever stop 🙏👌

10:17 hahah, classic

Ryukahr another awesome episode today!

He never finished saying what the nice thing about pipe transitions is lol.

He looks about twelve without the beard 😂

MM1 "Feels better" because it lays out a beginning and an end. MM2 is actually better (even with dark levels) because you have more content, more variations of content, and no "kicky feet" problem. MM2 doesn't feel right because it gives you a beginning seemingly without an end where the end is your ability to retain lives and should you lose all your lives that run ends. There's actually more "risk factor" the more levels you've managed to complete consecutively.

Yeah man! Grab that fresh, tasty peach!

The comparison between MM1 and MM2 was well said.

LET'S GET BACK TO IT.

It’s been obvious since like the end of the first year of smm2 release that you enjoy SMM1 more, which is totally fine! Play what you like and your subs will watch

12:44 Imagine it was another... spiny!

Great Run!

All those HF plugs, dayum. Business must be slippin' like a kicked koopa shell.

You should sell a merch design with “stupid kicky feet” written on it

I like the Mario Maker 1 vids more too

Always awesome when Ryu uploads :-)

Good Jorb!! Nice vid

I never bothered buying a switch or mm2 so i definitely like this one more :) still waiting for ryu to find one of my levels in super expert gotta happen at some point

8:20 I'll find that poll later (if any) I agree, mm1 has more Speedruns and trolls.

The fact that MM1 has an "ending" makes it the better game. Human beings need a sense of closure after all.

Wassup Everyone!!!! Enjoy your day!

Yes stick with the 100 man! MM2 on occasion, but MM1 main

100 is THE THING that makes me like Maker 1 more than 2

Mario Maker 1 is what I prefer. You have a set amount of lives to defeat a set amount of levels. Side question: do you ever play the tmnt arcade game against the wall?

I like watching SMM1 more, its way more satisfying! 😊

Nice hoodie Ryu! is that part of your merch?

i do enjoy watching smm more than smm2 as well

I’ve long felt that Maker 1 is the superior game. Maker 2 has more stuff, but they also took away a bunch of stuff that really damages the experience. I’m with you on this Ryu, team Maker 1 all the way.

Looks delicious Ryu
