Out of Bounds Secrets | Super Mario RPG Remake - Boundary Break 

I hope next time we see shesez, he’s a blonde toad with a green vest

I would like to see Culex and his area explored, and especially the battle arena for Smithy's second phase. There's another Smithy head there and a good look around might help us learn more about him.

No sponsor this time so i can say whatever. Dude the audio recording was CURSED this time around. Took a whole day to record and edit. Then I find out a ton of it was peaked audio, clipped words, missing recording, weird stratchy stuff. It made me so sad because i know this vid will be a special one but i hope you guys dont notice too much. Tried to spruce it up. Anyways this may be my favorite video of the year. I mean how often do i get to take a game i loved from 1996 and in a weird way finally get to look at it from angles ive always wanted? NEVER is the answer lol. I freaking loved making this vid. and I hope it comes across for you guys too. Always reading your comments. Thanks so much for all your support and kind words over the years. Its the biggest highlight of what i get to do.

i LOVE that the art team somehow made it look like they found the Old 3D models used for the original game & just touched them up

I believe the 'unused' blinking animation is for the sleep status condition. Most enemies actually close their eyes when it happens.

Still can’t believe this game is even real.

For the shaman the reason they have "unused" closed eyes is even though the npc versions never blink, the shaman enemy that you fight close their eyes when they're defeated.

Chihiro Fujioka said that he still has a desire to create a sequel to Super Mario RPG... IMAGINE!!!

The hidden sky/clouds textures are probably used for the water reflections!

I never played the original Super Mario RPG, but you can tell this remake was very thoughtfully done by the team. it recreates the vibe of the stuff I have seen of it. it almost looks like they took the high res models from the original game to do it all over. it looks how your brain thought it might have looked as a kid playing it on your Super Nintendo

The Johnny thing is the strangest thing in this game cause it's never explained, or even really implied, that Jonathan Jones is not a real shark and the remake makes it abundantly clear that at least the "head" is part of a costume.

Just a blender tip for deleting meshes really fast, select a face of the object and press L. Should select every connected face around it and just hit delete.

Man the amount of detail in this remake is nuts.

I hope this game can sell a lot so it can generate a sequel.

Wonder how they handled Czar Dragon phase change

I’m pretty sure the toy convertible is only a convertible because the majority of car toys for dolls end up being convertibles so you can easily place toys in it So that’s actually good attention to detail!

That's easily the best looking classic Link model I have seen. I'd have much rather seen _this_ classic Link model in LBW instead of the one we got. Honestly if we were to get another top-down Zelda, I'd love a more fleshed out, properly built model like this (even if its not a full model, its clearly not chibified like LBW or LA) and have properly proportioned characters.

Those voices in your head? Turns out it’s blonde NPC Toad with a green vest.

This might be in the top 3 best remakes of all time.

This was the most eagerly awaited Boundary Break video for me just because of the game’s viewing angle. The way this game mimics the SNES style with the camera movement, it feels like the backgrounds are just a flat image and not 3d models. Thank you for showing this.

This is my fav 3d model boundary break we've ever seen. Thank you for putting your hard work into this. This video really hits at the nostalgia part of the heart, but gets us inspired for the future potential of these characters!

I absolutely love Mario RPG! This remake made me so happy. I remember all those years ago when the original Mario RPG boundary break episode came out too... We really have come a long way.

It hasn't even been out that long and the boundaries are already broken! Incredible!

"model viewer" aka Blender Press Ctrl+L when selecting polygons, to select all polygons of a specific type. You get to select type. Normal or UV are likely to give the expected result. Useful to delete, or hide (H), a lot at once.

After nearly three decades, I still wasn't ready for that Johnathan Jones revelation. I love how many things are just fully modeled in this game, even though they really didn't have to be

It feels oddly satisfying to see what was originally a 2D sprite game into a fully explorable 3D game thanks to the tools provided, always love your content!

Was hoping to see Exor's battle with this camera, see if the different things his eyes do are hidden inside the model. Would be interesting to see how the game handles Smithy's transformations as well.

You forgot to show Peach using her Psych Bomb attack, it would've been cool to see her using that attack in various angles. I wonder if Peach has any facial expressions after throwing the bomb.

I'd love to see close-ups of all the enemies. Not necessarily in a video, I just love the enemies in this game and want to see them in full detail somehow!

this deserves a follow up, especially a certain new post game boss

Well I think I have a new favorite episode. The booster hill bit is insane.

I laughed pretty hard when Booster happily ran off into the void with Peach

This was my first RPG game growing up, being in ESL as a young kid and having no internet, I never made it past the puzzle where you have to jump on boxes to answer a question about something found at the bottom of the ocean i believe? I'm hyped to play through this all over again, hopefully without getting stuck this time haha.

I never grew up with smrpg, but I was smiling with glee when the remake got announced, the fans are so passionate and I’m super happy for them

Never thought this game would be like this

it's been years and you still get surprised at things like good textures that you can't see ingame, or models that are fully modeled even though they aren't visible. you know, the modeling tools don't come in the isometric perspective... when you're MAKING the models, it would be way harder to make it culled from the get go. you just make a normal model and THEN cull it as necessary for the game. making a "high quality" texture is also probably easier than a good low res one.

yes! i was looking forward to this episode. i thought all the characters would be standing at an angle like in link’s awakening remake. but it’s nice to see they’re just standing normally

If you ever decide to make a part 2 of this, I'd love to see how the photo in Marrymore would look from the photographer's perspective.

This remake is soooo good! It stays almost completely faithful to the original while adding a few fun things. This should be the standard for what remakes should be

5:10 In the regards to the sails. This may or may not be the reason. But as a CAD drafter, I am accustom to doing changers per revisions. When changes require a complete redraw. I will put the original geometry to the side, and draw the new thing. This is just in case the customer changes their mind again, or they find out what I had originally was correct.

7:14 I'd love an A link to the past remake with that model.

Thanks for covering this stunning remake! 😊

Would love to see Smithy final form room see if there is any secrets

15:41 You pretty alright, Shesez. you pretty alright

Dude... As a long time fan, that section of Booster's Hill legitimately shocked me, like jaw dropped. It was like seeing an animal you've never seen before where it all fundamentally makes sense but doesn't follow the logic of any related species. Can't believe RU-vid is getting screwier with the notifications but I'm glad I still managed to catch this episode fresh excluding the clips you put on Twitter. This might even be my favorite episode of the year too given how much there was to see, especially Link's low key breathing animation that was separate from the blanket moving. Not only that, it's getting me excited for the effort and quality of other Nintendo remakes, so now my mind is racing with how fun an episode would be of The Thousand Year Door.

I’d love to get a better look at the final postgame superboss

I was so excited for this episode seeing the various posts on the community tab and Twitter, and this lived up to it! Zoom-outs, close-ups, birds, and body horror: this is definitely a quintessential Boundary Break episode.

This game was the biggest win for true Mario fans.

This 24 minute video just flew by! Love, love, love SMRPG and so glad you got to do an episode for the remake so quickly. The models look fantastic in the remake. I think the best attention to detail with moving the camera was looking at the Yoster Isle map in Johnny's place that had the race tracks. Also Booster Hill being completely modeled is hilarious lol.

Nothing gives me more existential dread than seeing outside the world of a video game

This is my first time experiencing the game all the way through and as a huge paper Mario fan I absolutely love it!!!! Gotta get around to finishing the Mario & Luigi series.

15:45 I love that they went the extra mile for little details like this. So cool

Excellent video, these were some great finds!

I we GOTTA see 3D Culex! Mario RPG is STILL my favorite Mario game, and seeing this on Switch is so awesome. And I ADORE the remastered soundtrack.

For that hooded mage model you zoomed in on, I believe the "closed" eyes are used when the enemy version is hit or is casting a spell.

Zooming in with the camera really shows how beautiful this game is.

The shaman at 11:00 closes its eyes when it dies. Its not for blinking.

Dude, the inplementation of random details on Johnathan Jones is so freaking clever lol

Most of the zoom outs are amazing, they are like an artwork like a big mockup you would see irl

This is the best possible remake we can get and I love it!

For the cloud, it was maybe for having dynamic cloud shadow on the ground

I wonder how Culex looks like in boundary break

Watching this from the Netherlands, your show literally knows no boundaries!

I had this game pre-ordered and beat it after my first weekend

That link model is amazing

I love that you're having so much fun with these :)

the first ever video I watched of you was the SMRPG classic boundry break, literally a few days after u uploded it, good old timess

Imagine telling myself 10 years ago they would Remaster this game in 3D Unreal

I'm really impressed with how much of this game's assets are modeled on all sides. I really thought there would be a lot of empty space when viewed from behind because, frankly, why bother? The way it's done looks almost like it would work if someone were to create a mod for the game where you could view it from a 1st person or behind-the-back perspective.

Booster walking endlessly off into the void is very Booster of him.

It’s actually insane that this was made! Thank you for sharing the secrets of this game!

Great work on this video shesez! Just seeing how high quality all the textures are shocked me! We need a first or 3rd person over-the-shoulder mod for this game!!

For the Marrymore unused entrance maybe the boss rematches took place in brand new areas but in the end they were cut. Also that Link model looks a LOT like the Link from the Oracle games. Hmm.

I’ve been waiting for this boundary break on the remake

I would like to see both Culex fights along with the Midas River part going down the falls and the caves for it. Also the Smithy fight would be amazing with the different heads along with the game’s end credits.

I have been looking forward to this game for ages, and your Video!!!

I haven't wanted to see a Boundary Break episode for a game as much as I did this one in a long time, and it did not disappoint! Amazing stuff!

17:02 looking at you, Alvin

This is really satisfying in terms of Game Development side. We got the Original and Remake dissected and we're seeing a 1996 Pixel Game in its 2023 3D Version.

I was hoping you'd show what it looks like when Geno lifts his hat to use an item, oh well

4:34 I think the sky texture on Tadpole Pond is intended for the water's reflection to show a sky being reflected!

Immediately being greated by floating angry yapping Mario right out of the gate, I'm sold.

There's an awful lot of information hidden behind the scenes of this RPG remake, maybe Nintendo likes Boundary Break and leaves surprises for Shesez!

I didn't realize just how cool the cliff side that Bowser's Castle is sitting on looks!

the 'unused' sky texture over Tadpole Pond is actually there to provide a sky reflection on the water

2:28 - Would an upside down Skydome be... a sky bowl?

Cinder Toad also has modeled eyes under his sunglasses. His sunglasses are also completely round which is different from how they look in his promo art from the original. It's hard to see without looking closer at the model tho

Regarding the Magitek armor from FF6, both that one and the concept art get used for mounts in Final Fantasy 14. There's the Magitek Reaper, based on the concept art, that you get for completing the A Realm Reborn story, and based on the sprite work is the Magitek Predator, which you can get in the Ala Mhigo dundeon in the Stormblood expansion.

I’m going to just leave a like for now and come back to this once I finish the game for myself. I just started it and it’s so beautiful!

amazing video, so happy to see smrpg content from you 😭💕

The four-button, analog stick Gameboy is incredibly cursed

I think the snifits in booster tower were what first made me notice the fabric texture on clothing in this game

I loved this video so much but I NEED to know how Weapon's World looks out of boundry! Please make another for the remaining part of the game!

19:35 Booster, running into the void: I’M WINNING!!!

The reason why some parts aren’t textured but still modeled can be explained easily. 1) Not having a texture saves memory resources. 2) Having the model is important for light mapping purposes. And while it’s true that you could create your lightmap and then have that wall not render while keeping the previous lightmap data, it would be too much hassle to keep track of. Lastly, when creating something like a house, it’s easier to create the whole model rather than leave out parts of it. Hope that helps clear certain things!

i think Mario birds are some of the best especially in this game, Mario is one of the best game universes

This was wonderful. Thanks so much Shesez!

No wonder this game runs so well on switch

0:00 bro spitting facts

truly, there are many secrets in the game (many of which drive some peeps insane)
