That first level is just epic: the half-assed, thrown-together-last-night aesthetic of the whole thing makes the ending feel like a real slap in the face, I love it. It makes you feel like you are putting in more effort than the creator the entire time, then at the end it was all waste anyway. Just perfect.
At first I thought he hid the flagpole halfway trough the level, making you finnish whilst there's still a bunch left so you have to restart to see the full thing lol 😁
I still can't get over that troll level. It inspired me to make my own mole-themed troll level, coming soon :D 0:48 Hilarious Troll Level (wait for it...) 8:48 Harambe's Revenge (LOOOOL) 10:28 Sheik Wave-Ride (Super neat SMB1 platformer) 14:16 Affrettando, con ardire (Epic NSMB speedrun level) 26:48 Link's Upside Down Hat (BOOOOOT) 31:06 There and Back Again (cool NSMB Kaizo w/ lots of spaghetti) 42:30 Rocky Road (extremely creative mole/thwomp level) 50:47 Mario Maker, Forever (beautiful musical platformer) 53:39 Viewer Questions/Science Troll Tuesday (and other Mario Maker races/chat!) discord.gg/nU8knhQ Enjoy!
That first level was a troll level done right. It was not frustrating and it made you laugh so hard at the end. That's what a troll level should be about. Not jumping around endlessly looking for that one hidden block or dying constantly because you have to choose from 6 different doors over and over again.
Yeah, good troll level design can actually be an art just like other types of levels, but amateur troll levels are the ones that just place doors or pipes above pits, or enemy spam, etc. I agree that kaizo blocks are ok as long as they aren't overdone and everywhere in level.
@@ArianaRosalia I actually came here from the video "The Misunderstood Mischief of Mario Troll Levels" and I totally agree. A great troll level is carefully constructed to evoke the "This is so evil, I love it!" reactions rather than "THIS IS JUST TOTAL BS!". Imagine if the first level didn't have the checkpoints and required you to collect all the coins again if you die, that would just lead to people being frustrated rather than amused with the 'twist'.
Affrettando , con adire means to like hurry through something.. so basically the creator is saying u must rush through this lvl as fast as you fuckin can
Just imagine you accidentally hit the fireball after getting the key on the first level, doing everything all over again, since keys don't save and *then* realize that the whole level was a troll.
That first level was absolutely brilliant. I loved the way that the doors and pipes actually like... showed what was going to be there before you actually went in, lending even more trolliness to the fact that you didn't need to do any of it, because the level was so well thought out :)
"I don't have enough time to play games anymore" -Spends 15 hours to complete 1 course. -has 3 episodes of "one more" course that extends to multiple hours
Hey Carl, I just started watching your videos here on youtube a few weeks ago and I just want to tell you that I think you're an amazing guy. You're very sympathetic and seem to enjoy life every second in every way possible. Keep up that positive thinking/life style and good luck on your upcoming exams. A lot of greetings from Germany :)
Thanks so much :D Life is sometimes full of loss and sorrow and struggle, but I try to counteract it and remind people that it can also be full of fun and love and cool science... and kick ass mario tricks :P
"Affrettando, con ardire" is not common modern Italian. It is one of those notations that are written at the beginning of musical scores to instruct the player about the dynamics, the rhythm and the loudness of the execution; they date back to the Reinassance Era and are traditionally italian terms, like "crescendo", for instance. This one does mean "Rushing, with audacity" and is a very unusual formula which really makes me want to know what crazy classical piece of badassery is taken from. A very cool name for a very cool level, clever, original and smart-designed. Keep it up, man, giving credit to creators who really deserve it.
Hey Carl, gotta say I've been subbed for a few days, don't play Mario maker, haven't played a Mario game in years, but love your channel. I'm not able to catch your steam because of work, so I've watched about 25 videos over the last week. Super entertaining plus science is fantastic.
Man, I wish more of your videos were this long. I usually can't stand watching people play Mario Maker, but with you there's never a dull moment. I've got way too much time on my hands, and these videos are a great way to kill it. EDIT: Actually, your videos *are* usually about this long. But they are so fun to watch that I automatically assumed they were about a half hour long. Derp.
Dude your content is so addicting to watch, and you seem like a genuinely good guy too. I don't even own, nor have I ever played this game, but it's so much fun watching you play it. On top of that, I like how you saw that it would be more enjoyable to watch the level at the end without commentary. It reminds me of one of my other favorite youtubers. It's relaxing, even though games like this can be frustrating. You also complete the majority of the levels too, which makes me feel good about the levels you attempt (other youtubers, especially big name youtubers, won't do that or give up too early). Love it! Keep up the good work! EDIT: I also find it funny that you seem to consistently get more views than subscribers. Shows your content is genuinely enjoyable
CarlSagan42 senpai why are you up so early!? also i bought mario maker because of you and have been playing your kaizo college levels hoping to get into kaizo levels in this game, are there good forums/sites to direct to well made levels or anything?
I've never been one for Mario, or even platformers in general. But you make it very engaging and funny. I especially like all of the biochemistry stuff that I learn as I watch as well. Great stuff man, keep it up.
Hey Carl love your videos man. Been having a rough day today, my grandpa had to go to the hospital today because he broke his hip falling down a basement ramp. I was helping him move a carpet down into the basement and he slipped. Just got news that he broke the top of his femur and needs surgery and a sling for his shoulder, other than that he will be ok. Your videos are a godsend and have helped through this rough time as I laugh with you. Thank you so much, I appreciate you.
"I take it back...that level was amazing" haha I love those moments! I just had one tonight on stream where I said, "I don't see how I could miss shooting this direction" and of course, epic fail shot. Anyways, I left a message on the Troll Tuesday Discord channel thingy about joining the race on Nov. 8 but to be honest, I am totally new to this whole thing (including Discord) and have no idea how I can sign up for the race and what I have to setup to participate in the race. Maybe some awesome person can help out a dude stuck in his old school 8-bit ways?! Or not, I understand, cause i'll probably destroy you all in the race ;)
haha! I'm not one to trash talk beyond Overwatch but ya know, just like being the new guy in jail, you gotta act tough in front of the vets! I will definitely be there next Tuesday, thanks for the info!
"Affrettando, con ardire" it's a poetic way to write, "You must go fast, with brave" (It loses with the translation!), Cool video as always by the way!
I got some questions for the levels in this video: 1) How do you clear the Harambe level when you need to upload it? (without checkpoints...?) 2) How come the munchers didn't kill or even damage you in that boot level...? (when they pushed you) 3) Was the death you had at 49:56 (the birthday cake one) the worst one you ever had? =3 Very cool collections of levels. I was especially impressed with the rocky wrench + thwomp one. And I'm looking very much forward to your troll moll level. It's gonna be goooood >:D
Hood point on Harambe; I think that the room you start in with the two doors and some munchers, I think you can actually go through the munchers using i-frames. That's the only thing I can think would be it, though.
Oh so perfect, I was scouting your videos maybe, just maybe, I missed one. nope. I watched them all. but here you are! a new video. keep up the good work
I am so happy you started adding science into your videos. It is so entertaining to listen to. Also nice to hear some win after seeing you fail so much trolol:D Love your vids man
Carl, this was my favorite video of yours yet. I've been watching your RU-vid videos for a while now, and your composition, and editing has come a long way. Thanks for all the great moments and science stuff, and good luck in the spring with school.
2 Things have to be said: Watching you while feeling bad helps a lot! Thank you man. The other thing: It is partially scary to hear what some people do not learn in school today. Thank you even more for teaching :)
"Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, it will believe it's whole life that it's stupid" - Einstein (something like this). Why this school system sucks... Wait, why did I say this?
School sucks because it's designed to. They ever teach you logic and reason? The very fundamentals of thought that will serve you no matter what you choose to specialize in? No. Kids were reading Moby Dick just a few generations ago. It's been designed to fail 'cause it used to work like a charm.
Thank you Carl, for the amazing gameplay and commentary. My main field is theoretical mathematics and number theory. But being a person who enjoys learning new things, I really enjoy listening to you talk about biology and medicine. Medicine has always fascinated me, even though I didn't have the work ethic to pursue it as a career when I was younger. Thank you again, Carl!
There was a small bit where you talked about weed curing cancer (or rather how it doesn't) but I just wanted to ask, isn't the reason weed is prescribed medicinally to ease pain? Making chemo therapy more bearable and such?
Is it just me or did the reaction to the troll level not seem genuine? Seems like he knew in advance. The 3 second world record is kind of a give away too.
The record was done by a completely different person. And to be fair, trolls are easy to spot if you actively search for them. Which he wasn't doing. If he knew about the level's ending and was just doing this for views, then he would have been exaggerating the entire time, and not just at the ending.
my comments on the levels, in order: -10/10 troll level -#DicksOutForHarambe -RIP Chomps -that speedrun level was lit -that level was bootiful -i experienced major deja vu during the Kaizo level (even what you were saying) even though i haven't been to one of your streams (yet) -looks like you got off to a "rocky" start on that one -the last level was feelsy
Dude, these videos are the best! And these level ideas are just stupendous! I kinda wanna get back to making levels and do some puzzle levels around some of these mechanics! Also, I just wanted to come by and say thank you for having such awesome, entertaining, and sciency content! I actually had an Informational Speech due today, and, remembering one of your more recent videos, I did my topic on CRISPR. Researching it was super-fun, and I really feel like I learned a lot more about just how awesome genetic engineering can be! (that, and I'm almost certain I got an A on the speech, which probably would not have happened if it were any other topic) Keep on being awesome!
I feel like it would have been really appropriate for the anniversary level to have one of the pipes at the end lead to a soft lock. It would capture the essence of 100 man super expert perfectly.
Crayo Gaming Channel getting paid $480 a month to go to college in the netherlands by the government cause my parents have lowest of minimum loan. as long as i finish college within 10 years the money will be seen as a gift. if not it turns into a loan you have to pay back over 30 years.
GOD I LOVE THIS NEW RU-vid GLITCH WHERE THE VIDEO FREEZES ON 1 FRAME BUT THE AUDIO KEEPS GOING. IT'S THE BEST FEATURE SINCE GOOGLE+ AND 7 SECONDS OF VIDEO LAG IF YOU SKIP THROUGH IT, SKIP AN AD, AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENED AT THE START OF THE VIDEO. THANKS GOOGLE.
Yavuzselim Akartuna I don't know, I've been on 4G, 4G LTE, 3G and 3 different types of phones, Samsung, LG, and iPhone but I always get some kind of RU-vid glitch where the audio freezes or desyncs, or the video stops and the audio keeps going, or anything, I have given up, I should just stick with the PC version... oh wait... it sometimes freezes my whole Google Chrome trying to load a video... nevermind... It's whatever but in the end these things are just pet peeves.
Man I can't get over how enjoyable Carl and poo make watching this game. I don't even play Mario maker and I look forward to these videos all the time:) you're awesome Carl!
Trolly problem in Mario maker: if you press the P switch, the shell train will kill a mole of moles for eternity and two yoshiis. If you do nothing, the trolley will do a sick loop-de-loop and kill one yoshii. Both endings lead to an epic automatic level complete with music and a sick dance party at the flag
