One-Screen Puzzles are Back! Brain is not back yet 

I don’t mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day... And the box said 2-4 years! 🤓

The phrase “brain is not back” implies that there was brain in the first place.

The way I found this channel was original through one screen puzzles in smm1 by seanhip, it's always awesome seeing you play these, brings back so many memories, and proves that just because your a scientist doesn't mean you're smart

Absolutely love that the meta for puzzle levels always has been *Player:* I'm done! *Level:* Well, yes, but actually no.

30:30 ... Is there a particular reason you couldn't just go in the door and respawn the p-switch? Edit: ok there we go.

To give a programmer's perspective on what might be happening with the mushroom at 33:00... Usually in tile-based games, when a collision occurs, you tend to re-align the object's x or y coordinates with the edge of the tile it collided with. My guess is that when the mushroom first spawns and has not hit a wall yet, it's x-coordinate is ever so slightly different. Which is then barely enough to see the cloud collision underneath it before it drops too low and falls through. Why the coordinate is different when the mushroom spawns can be many reasons. But my guess would be that something called the "tick delta time" (which is responsible for making movement the same speed/time independant of framerate...) might be ever so slightly disturbed as a level loads after entering a door. As more things tends to happen and you might get a tiny framerate spike. Or it could simply end up spawning with a more perfect rounded number than the collision might end up calculating.

30:17 the moment that carl decided to start over instead of using the doors to reset the p-switch and win.

I love how Carl solved the first puzzle, then completely forgot how, and then solved it again

mushrooms spawn going towards the right. the mushrooms in the hint door all started right but those two hit the wall instantly without you noticing. a mushroom has a slower speed because of bonk but very minimal

It's not a one-screen puzzle without Carl trolling himself.

17:22 That was almost the greatest scam in history, but it's also way funnier that way lmaooooo

Carl reiterates the idea that Int and Wisdom are 2 different stats

yeah, one screen puzzles are actually the reason why i started watching you all the years ago, happy to see them again

I want to see a compilation of Carl's involuntary noises. It'd probably be a few hours long, even if it was just the noises, no context needed.

Where has Seanhip been? Did he quit making levels for good?

A couple of weeks ago DGR got a big puzzle level in Expert where you do similar things with Morton's fireballs: KLJ VBJ Y6G

Absolutely awesome to see you playing puzzles again Carl! I started making puzzles because of seanhip and watching your playthroughs, so I am so glad to see you playing more again. I know you've said it's hard to find good puzzle creators, but hopefully this will go to show that there are endless puzzles out there yet to be found. Much love, karate

Thanks to Carl and streamers out there putting out this entertaining stuff to lift my spirit, makes me laugh, cheers me up. Going thru a sad time. All can say is hug and say I love you to your mother. Mine was one of the best. ❤️ We're only here 100 years or less. Make the best of it and smile.

Such a great first puzzle. The main mechanic is enough for it to be a good puzzle, but it gives the satisfaction of everything being multi-purpose and coming together nicely.

That troll in the 1st puzzle level was simple yet effective

So excited to see these puzzle levels are back again! Always enjoyed watching these uploads in the past and I look forward for more! Thank you!

"This is good decheese." But you could still go through the door and get a P-Switch to complete the level when you did that. Oh hey, he figured it out, that he's not smart, that is

That end troll on the first puzzle was great. Carl was soooooo convinced that he won, only to go through the door and get dunked on. Lol. I don't know who was more shocked, Carl or I.

Missed a good one screen puzzle ending troll, first level delivered in a big way

Hey man, these one-screen puzzles are my absolute favorite videos. Thanks for streaming.

this is what originally got me into mario maker and your content in general. so excited to watch!

Super excited to watch! One screen puzzles are always fun!

Finally watched a video of yours after over a year of not watching you, glad to say I’m back

That Morton puzzle is fantastic holy hell

26:22 You fell for it, fool! Thunder Cross Split Attack!

19:29 I love how the mushroom synced with the P music.

I think that first one can be optimized further by collecting the four coins and entering the door during the p-switch. You can then melt the top block by catching the fireball with the pow, and the pow wave will drop the coin. This should combine the wait times of the p-switch and the fireball.

“That’s the right number of eyebrow pulses” - Carl 2021

At 30:15 he could’ve gone through a door and grabbed another p switch to bring back down to get the goal

Hooray! One screen puzzles! And these were good ones, the first level in particular. Thanks for making this great content, Carl!

I'm loving these one screen puzzles!

Watching Carl solve puzzles is a trial of patience. 30 seconds in to the puzzle, I've got a pretty good idea of how to go about solving it, and I've got to wait through like 10 minutes of *edited* footage before Carl catches up. Then he's moments away from finishing it and goes "oh, I get it (he doesn't get it), but it's too late now" and restarts it.

I actually saw the first one live on stream and it was amazing. Keep it mr Sagan

A lot of people in the comments seem to think the mushroom's speed changes, but that's not the case (as far as I am aware) so I'm going to clarify to the best of my understanding what's actually going on: It depends on where the mushroom starts. The mushroom moves at a set speed, distance per frame, so sometimes it can position itself perfectly above that pit, and sometimes it just hops straight over. When the regular mushroom spawns when you exit the door, it's centered on the block, and lined up such that it can gracefully cruise over the pit. When it bonks the left wall collision puts it directly against the wall: not centered. It looks very similar but it's a subtle difference that the level was designed around. As for the 1-up, the parachute positioned it such that it would fall in the pit regardless.

“I thought I understood and I don’t understand” Carl literally every video

I'm so happy Carl is playing one-screen puzzles again! :D

FINALLY THE RETURN OF THE ONE SCREEN PUZZLES

Good morning sir, love your videos and streams. Thanks for uploading at the best times, been watching for years now.

has the clear condition and only has to reset with the door to get another P-switch... and starts over :O

20:25 **cosmic brain sound** "I.." **visible cosmic brain melt**

I’ve watched him go through the door at 12:16 and scream “what” about 30 times now.

I just noticed that the thumbnail for the first one actually shows the launcher, so that troll could have been dodged.

the mushroom that hasn't hit any walls are a little floaty when they fly over the gaps. the mushroom that has hit a wall actually accelerates and doesn't glide over the gaps and so it falls. Moon physics has this effect.

if mushroom has gone left it can't clear the gap. Notice how neither of the ones in the hint cleared the gap but didn't bonk anything, while the one going right skipped the hole.

Hey Carl! Rubens has another level Captain Toad's colossal conundrum that i think you'd have a lot of fun with .That maker's puzzles are brilliant.

Yay puzzles again! At this point your videos have basicaly become my saturday morning cartoons. Not sure if you're the hero or the goofy villain though ^^

you should try Recursed, a lot of the puzzles give me seanhip vibes from how you carry around items in small rooms to gain access to other items

17:23 When the Carlscammer becomes the Carlscammed

mushroom goes right faster. Once it starts going left, it is set to the slower "left speed" even when going back right

Carl: *works with micro-organisms* Also Carl: "That's the right number of eyebrow pulses"

For some reason on the 2nd puzzle level, it is as if the mushroom loses the tiniest bit of speed if it runs into a wall, which makes it unable to clear that gap. Which, after seeing so many levels taking advantage of weird mechanics, oversights and interactions, I don't find that surprising.

it's not bonk, it's direction based. In the hint room, the mushroom on the bottom right falls in the pit without ever bonking. It just moves left. Edit: unless standig still counts as bonking, (or starting up against a wall on the right)

Pretty stoked to see carl doing a puzzle lvl again! Used to love watching him do these!

When Carl got the mishroom and was perfectly able to get another p swatch and end the level, but reset: *FACEPALM INTENSIFIES*

32:20 to be fair you only restarted once after being able to solve it

it's good to see that you still haven't changed

Found Carl through GDQ but I stayed for the puzzles.

Rip to that one goomba or koopa that has to replace that P-switch every time Carl enters the doors

A much better Carl Troll would have been to have a 1-Up in the hint room for him to collect, knowing Carl wouldn't have gone into the cheese until after having tortured himself with the puzzle.

Dude I haven't haven't here in years. Glad to be back

When you think about it, Baba is You is entirely one-screen puzzles.

30:12 he could just gone through a door and respawn the p switches, god dammit Blarl (Blind Carl)

When Carl figures everything out it uses too much brain power and he forgets everything

14:51 I think he could have just blocked the launcher by putting the pow on the floor before he went through the door

Nothing is more amusing/frustrating than watching Carl overcomplicate a SMM puzzle solution.

I ❤ Karl doing puzzles

The sound Carl makes at 22:51 is absolutely killing me

6:38 "hey, why does my back feel so hot?"

Sometimes it hurts my brain watching you fumble around with a complex solution, instead of the obvious one xD

The mushrooms not clearing the gap was direction based despite you insisting it wasn't, it's just that is the mushroom had ever moved left since spawning it won't clear the gap, the hint room showed you that

When you got the clear condition, and then started over, i screamed

When the coins turned solid, I knew the solution

Noo, I wanted to see more of rubenscube!

YESSS finally something else than just troll levels.. I really like this

Hey great video, please make more!

who needs brain when you have CarlBox™?

yoo i love the one screen puzzles! i watched back most of the seanhip smm1 puzzles a few weeks ago so this is a pleasant surprise

I've solved a few OSPs, alas dozens more have me flat out stumped

Carl, don't you see? Baba has BEEN the one screen puzzles

YES PUZZLES ARE BACK

It's not only because of the bonking on the wall, right? In the hint room there was a mushroom that spawned from the right no bonk and it went through the hole. Is it that once the mushroom starts going from right to left it always falls?

It's not about the bonk, it's about if it ever goes to the left or not. If it bonked it went left before going right again

Yay! Puzzle days are here againnn!

I wonder if its possible to make the mushroom dodge a claw that way like if its clipping at all

I say this every video but it never ceases to amaze me that Carl is a Scientist....

Anytime i see 'one screen puzzle' in the thumb nail or title, all i think is 'Baba is you' now.

One screen puzzles were the first videos o ever saw from you!

Carl predicts mushroom will get trapped; Mushroom does not get trapped. Carl expects that the mushroom will not get stuck; the mushroom gets stuck. Is this quantum game mechanics?

Its going to get stuck Proceeds to get himself stuck

Finally my favorite videos are back!

One screen puzzles .... insta-like ... we need more!,

23:50 Mushy jank, you hate to see it.

All those times Carl started over instead of just going back into the door to refresh the p-switches etc...

At 32:51 in the hint room, unless the bottom right mushroom has a frame of moving left to right, then there's no bonk but it still falls through the hole. So it's possible that it isn't the bonk that causes the mushroom to drop, right?

Yes! More puzzles! We love puzzles! We love Larl brain puzzles!
