New Super Mario Bros. Ft.  

Not to mention he can literally walk on water

@@firesnakex8 So is Luigi the Jesus of the Mario universe?

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Luigi perceives time moving at the regular pace, Mario is just super slow haha

Luigi has Made In Heaven?

ain't you nathaniel b

Sure, 2D Mario might be great... buuuuut it's Not Melee! 2D Mario should be Melee rather than striving for originality.

Yo, it's NB!

About time you became a guest, and hosted a video!

Which if u think about it is kinda like Chuck E Cheese, I saw this being done in a TV show where someone was running a illegal casino behind a laundromat and a video store

is this what the rasta banana in the coin game is? is this an actual phenomenon? wow!

@@emmanuelzermeno1588 Young Sheldon

Meanwhile, here in the US you cannot find sports talk shows without them bringing up gambling odds. And don't forget about loot boxes and advertising for kids. FeelsBadMan

So it's just like the Game Corner in Pokemon

@@JeskidoYT Dude, the video just said that James got his stuff back.

@@HolySka1991 oops i just got to that part of the video my bad

So does writers just making up a story about Nintendo trying to make peace. Game "journalism."

@@JeskidoYT That's why we watch the videos before going to the comments section.

Agreed! I’m so glad to see NB and DYKG doing a colab! … so when is my DYKG Sonic episode featuring Chariii5 releasing? 😁

Now we need you to record a Sonic DYKG!

​@@bigdog1720 yeah that was awesome

And that dance even became a meme a while ago

Their dance is cute

It's not just the Koopas doing a little dance, the Goombas and power-ups also do a small leap to the beat.

BAH BAH

That’s so adorable!

Legally you can't demand someone to pay a debt in america. You can get away with not paying any money to anyone (above board that is... you on your own with underground shit and those never end well for you lolz) that is owed to them. That is what bankruptcy is. Instead society punishes you in other ways. Usually credit problems. But it's part of what makes America the home of the free. You cannot bind someone into indenture servitude of any kind and that includes monetary debt.

I doubt the story's true, anyway. Guy illegally distributes a major game to tens of thousands of people, and gets off with only a slap on the wrist? Sounds like a poorly executed publicity stunt.

@@mattpace1026 Knowing Nintendo I believe it, but I still do genuinely think its a publicity stunt on their part. I feel it was more than anything a warning to other people to not leak ROMs using him to set an example, which honestly has not worked in the slightest because basically every major nintendo release is on piracy sites a week or so before launch these days and they don't punish anyone for it anymore.

I don't like it. I come to DYKG for facts, not editorializing. He shouldn't share his opinion in a video such as this.

Me too

Super Paper Mario

Of all things, Paper Mario: TTYD had one! As part of Bowser's story, you play through 2 or 3 classic Mario style stages with him. Including, of course, an underwater stage.

I always thought it was a shame that there weren't more Wii U games that took advantage of the console's core feature by letting one person play as the villains.

Bland?

I’ve sadly not played it, but I think it’s great. The levels are unique, the coin gimmick looks satisfying and the enemy selection is solid. Not to mention they brought back Reznor. I wish they were in more games.

The Narraor is really good at being a Nathaniel B

Ain't you Nathaniel B?

@@yknow8008 🤔

And it FAILed

I don’t know if this is a jab at the NSMB series being “repetitive” or not, but they are not repetitive.

Wario wasn't really a Miyamoto thing. He was a creation of R&D1, where Miyamoto is more associated with EAD.

Yeah what the other guy said- he may not remember because he never made them in the first place.

Miyamoto just argues against innovation ever since the Wii era.

Miyamoto made Nintendo feel fun. Now that he's gone we have a tablet with corporate art style and minimalist menus with no music

@@chaytonfetterhoff5423 Miyamoto retired? Jesus

@@Max25670 Not true. Miyamoto is all about innovation. Every game of his has hardware gimmicks tacked on.

*Tezuka

I think it’s because it went 4 games without any innovation. Level design was predictable and bland. DKCR and Tropical Freeze are leagues better in terms of recent Nintendo platformers

Sure, on their own, they're all decent platformers you can have fun with. But I think people were looking more for the level of creativity and differences between games seen in other concurrent 2D platformer Nintendo series like Kirby and DK. You can make the argument that Mario was striving to be more simple, but for the same price as those other games and without very much visual distinction it's reasonable that people would think NSMB was just lacking after the fourth one rolled around.

@@sheriffmouser7569 No, I don't. There's plenty of new enemy types, there's a new powerup that lets you glide, each game does do something different (bonus world? purpose of star coins? unlockable content?), etc.

The first two games were great. But after that, you could tell that the devs were just phoning it in. Hell, the most recent game is literally just a port with the only thing to justify the $60 price tag being New -Funky- Toadette Mode.

Also, there's the fact that they haven't touched franchises like F-Zero in years because they "can't think of any way to keep them fresh" while continue to churn out NSMB games that all feel like the same game but with different power-ups.

Yeah hopefully the next 2D Mario is its own thing and not tied to the NSMB series

@@ImPhynsaI love the NSMB series, I don’t care what anyone says.

@@ImPhynsa Wish granted.

I thought he already got to narrate one

It was so much fun!!!!!

Definitely was a factor in 3D World where everyone has different abilities

@@fernandobanda5734 I'm glad they made Peach a heroine in 3D World

It was originally in the script for about 3 minutes but got cut in editing. Didn't have anything super interesting to say tbh.

@@DJIVision Fair enough

@@DJIVision Prove it

@@kingstarscream320 Lol okay, here's the script before edits. Gotta break it up into parts because YT won't let me copy-paste the entire thing. Too long. Here's part 1: Did you know? [0] The developers of New Super Luigi U cheated to make the game easier than they wanted you to think it is. [1] Luigi U was originally released as DLC for New Super Mario Bros U, but with harder levels that only give you 100 seconds to reach the flag pole [1] -- but the devs made Luigi seconds 35% longer than Mario seconds. [7] In an interview, they said even though they're the guys who made the stages, they were having trouble beating em that quick, and worried it'd be too difficult for the fans at home. [3] They considered making all the stages shorter, or doubling the timer to 200 seconds -- but they didn't wanna redesign the whole game, and 100 was such a nice round number, so... they fudged the numbers. [4] We timed it ourselves, and the seconds in most Mario games -- including New Super Mario Bros U -- aren't real seconds. [5] Each tick is really only about three-quarters of a second. But for the Luigi DLC, they made each tick one actual second. [6] In other words, 100 Luigi seconds are equal to 135 Mario seconds -- which makes the game a lot easier than you're led to believe. [8] Not only on Wii U, but also in the Switch Deluxe edition. We recently replayed all the New Super Mario games, read a bunch of old interviews, and did some digging to find some secrets, easter eggs, and behind-the-scenes for the entire series. [9][248] We're also gonna look at the Japan-exclusive arcade entry, as well as Super Mario Run -- it might not have "New" in the title, but it's basically the series' mobile entry, so we'll cover that one too. [10] First off, let me just say -- I know these games aren't the most highly-regarded nowadays -- [44] and a lotta folks say they can't hold a candle to Mario's 3D adventures. [39] But let's get one thing clear right off the bat -- in terms of sales, the New Super games are way more popular than 3D Mario. [40] The first one sold over 30 million copies [41] -- which is more than the entire Metroid and F-Zero franchises combined. And the sequel on Wii sold another 30 million. [42] Everyone and their mom played these games. With those kinda numbers, you might be wondering why they haven't made a new one in almost a decade. [43] We'll get to that later, but first let's get into some trivia. [38] For most people, when they think of Mario, they think of Shigeru Miyamoto. [203][246] But when it comes to the New Super series, they should really be thinking of another guy [204] -- Takashi Tezuka, who's basically been in charge of 2D Mario since the Super Nintendo. [205] According to Miyamoto: "Mario was created not only by myself, but also with Mr. Tezuka. I am kind of shy accepting all of the compliments myself all the time." [201] / "Tezuka's sort of my right hand man at Nintendo. And he's responsible for New Super Mario Bros. We talk a lot about the game, but basically he's in charge." [202] One thing that might surprise fans of the New Super games is why they have that distinctive art style. [207] Every 2D Mario that came before was made out of 2D sprites, but New Super Mario was more like 2.5D, and used 3D models as well as sprites made from pre-rendered 3D models. [208] All the sequels used that style as well -- at this point, it's become the series' iconic look. [209] But it wasn't actually an artistic choice -- according to Tezuka, it was mostly just because it was easier. [211] Back when the first game launched, he told Nintendo Power: "[We chose that style because it] makes certain types of expression easier. We can rotate characters, make them bigger, make them smaller, etc. [206] Those types of things are more difficult with 2D sprites. Also, current development tools tend to favor 3D graphics." [210]

Part 2: After the game's release, Nintendo ran into a little trouble in the European Union. [213] Their ratings board originally said New Super Mario was acceptable for ages 3 and up, like pretty much every Mario game. [314] But it later got bumped up to a more restrictive rating. That was all thanks to one of the bonus minigames, Picture Poker, where you play five-card draw and bet coins in a casino. [212] Europe said if you're gonna gamble with Luigi, you're gonna have to be at least 12. New Super Mario Bros on DS was originally supposed to have two-player co-op -- a few screenshots can be seen in an issue of Nintendo Power printed about six months before the game hit store shelves. The magazine says: "New Super Mario Bros features a two-player co-op mode -- a first for the series. Not content simply to keep Luigi out of the limelight, Mario now uses his brother as a human shield. Maybe next time Luigi should leave his hotshot sibling to rot in the haunted mansion." Well that's pretty much what happened, because co-op ended up getting cut, and replaced with a small versus mode with only five stages. [59] You can play single-player as Luigi with a simple code, [34] but he has the exact same physics as Mario -- no high jump or anything -- so it's just a cosmetic difference. [36] Gaming press reported seeing an early build where Bowser was playable as well -- possibly as a reward for beating the game -- but it didn't make it into the final game. [255] That idea for full-on co-op eventually made its way into New Super Mario Bros Wii but instead of just two or three characters, it had four -- Mario, Luigi, Ala-Gold the yellow Toad, and Bucken-Berry the blue Toad. [45] Although we should note those Toad names are contentious -- they're commonly used by fans, but the Super Mario Wiki refuses to acknowledge them. [259] Those names come from a Destructoid article claiming a Nintendo of America employee shared them off-camera, but some fans thought the article was a joke. So we checked in with Destructoid's author for more details, [257] and he said they were nicknames used by some members of the Japanese Mario team, but Miyamoto made it clear that he didn't want those Toads to have names, ever. [258] So whether they're really named Ala-Gold and Bucken-Berry, we'll leave that up to you to decide. [256] Regardless, all four characters controlled identically and didn't have unique physics or abilities. [46] Other characters like Wario and Waluigi were considered, but fans would've expected them to have special skills -- and Nintendo didn't wanna do that. [47] According to Miyamoto: "Mario and Luigi are the same as always, of course, and suggestions for the other two characters included Wario and Waluigi, Toad, and Princess Peach. The thing is that with Wario he'd need to have a fart attack, [49] Peach would have to be able to fly with her skirt, and so on. [50] With this game we wanted every character to play the same way." And I mean, okay Miyamoto, I suppose that does keep everyone on a more even playing field... but c'mon. [51] It ain't e-sports -- it's a party game. Peach flying and Wario farting would've been way better than two Toads. [52] After Mario Wii was already finished, the devs kept on playing it for fun, and during their play sessions they came up some ideas for a Challenge Mode. [11][250] But it was too late to add it into the game, and DLC wasn't really a thing back then. [250] They still wanted to share those challenges with fans though, so they posted them on Nintendo's official Japanese website. [12] There were a total of 89 challenges, all ranked from one to five stars -- like finishing levels with zero points, self-imposed limitations like winning with mini-Mario, [13] and speedrun times for every stage. [14] Nintendo released the challenge list in English too, but for some reason they later deleted it. [16] They also banned that webpage from the Internet Archive, so it's completely wiped off the internet with no way to find it. [21] Lucky for us though, one of our viewers printed it out on a piece of paper about a decade ago and sent us pictures -- so here they are if you're curious to see what all they were, or if you're a hardcore fan who thinks you've got what it takes to complete them. [15] Having to get those challenges off a website wasn't exactly ideal though -- which is why the devs built them directly into the next game, New Super Mario Bros U, [17] as a separate mode available right from the home screen. [20] There's actually less of them -- Mario Wii had 89 challenges, while Mario U only has 67. But they take place on their own custom courses, so it's definitely a more fleshed-out experience. [18] This situation of supplemental content being online instead of in the game itself was actually reversed for Hint Movies -- they were included in Mario Wii, but only on the internet for Mario U. [229] In case you don't remember, if you go to Peach's Castle in Mario Wii, you can watch videos that teach you how to do Super Skills, speedruns, and secrets. [223] There's some really tricky techniques in there -- so tricky in fact that some fans thought they were tool-assisted or made by bots. [224] But it was actually Nintendo's debuggers, with the director and other high-level staff breathing down their necks to make sure they did everything perfect. [225] Every time they went through a pipe, they had to go right down the middle; [226] if there were a group of coins floating in the air, they either had to skip them for speed or grab em all. [228] Only getting some was unacceptable, and meant they'd have to reset and start over. The debuggers replayed again and again until all 65 Hint Movies were absolutely flawless. [229] They did something similar for Mario U, but instead of Peach's Castle, Nintendo put all the Hint Movies on the game's RU-vid channel. [230]

Totally 😉

Definitely.

Why so?

I don’t see them doing that.

If it’s still 3D or 2.5D, don’t get angry.

Good news

Did you see that?? Because I didn’t when I first watched it…

Yeah, that part tends to get downplayed in the story - that it was a bad thing for him to do. Nintendo's got a lot of positives and negatives with the community, and I'd even argue they're too tough on fan games but the relationship only works if they don't have to be spending a lot of effort fighting the community over stuff like pirates. Getting his stuff back was amazing actually, pretty classy, but legit crime committed there and not like it was a mistake.

NSMBDS has a level in the first world that gives you very easy access to the mini mushroom. You need to beat Mummipokey from world 2, and Petey Piranha from world 5 with the mini mushroom in order to unlock worlds 4 and 7. And, I believe all NSMB games let you walk on water with the mini mushroom. I believe that NSMB2 has a level dedicated entirely to that concept.

Nice pfp

Already interviewed some of the devs. Won't be the next video, but it's coming.

That interview took place at a time when the Wario Waft was very new and relevant. He's basically just saying that Peach and Wario need a justifiable reason to be playable and shouldn't be a Mario clone. This is why Wario was in Super Mario 64 DS, he had his own abilities. Super Mario 3D World had a different design philosphy that was all about unique abilities which is why peach became playable (this was also talked about by Miyamoto in another interview). It shows that Nintendo thinks Wario and Peach just doing what Mario does is somewhat of a disservice to them as characters and they should be more distinct in playstyle that suits them.

Editor here - glad someone appreciated it!

Someone else commented that was an IGN poll or something asking fans what they wanted the names to be, and those two names won the fan poll.

@@DJIVision Oh? I maybe misremembered then. I did also read IGN at the time quite heavily, so I could have mixed things up.

I think it happens every time if you let the demo video play a little. I copied your method doing that on my Switch and it worked twice in a row :)

Allah Gold, the Hopeless Situation Warrior of the Presbyterian Church! In a *Mario game*!?

Plenty of the minigames are reused from Super Mario 64 DS, so you’re certainly not wrong there.

What about Bathaniel N?
