Out of Bounds Secrets | Super Mario World - Boundary Break 

RIP Buzzy Beetle. He died as he lived; stuck in a wall.

Only on this channel can someone say “alright let’s start talking about doors, cause it gets really interesting here...” and I believe them.

I feel REAL stupid that I never realized Bowser was flying around outside his castle on the world map. I thought it was a bat.

I would love to see more retro games!

"Marios adventure is over, may he fly off to his home world now!"

Let’s gooooo

The Bowser sign on the castle is different in the Japanese version, says "Koopa" instead of Bowser so that may be a reason of that.

Everyone: Don't Boundary Break SMW. Shesez: *What if I do ANYWAY.*

8:30 that's because the first lava tile is actually a water tile, I think this is done so that the platforms that float on water can also be used on lava

10:53 "Move Mario through Princess Peach" Shesez I know this show is called "Boundary Break" but come on, man

11:02 - "I have-a to go now, Peach! My planet-a needs me!"

It's not much, but boundary breaking is honest work.

3:16 so it really is a super mario world. wow. like, it goes around and around lol

As someone who's messed around with Lunar Magic in the past, I was not expecting to see all those submaps together like that in the same way they're laid out in Lunar Magic. That's such a cool revelation.

"Mario could have swim in lava at some point." Sadly they removed the Varia Suit upgrade from SMW.

With Peach, at the end, if you keep moving mario from one side to the other, will Peach turn around and walk the other direction?

"We might not find much..." Me: _Looks at video length_ *Here we go bois*

"Mario's adventure is over." and then here he goes nearly leaving the screen

8:17 I don’t think the swimming effect means that Mario was ever supposed to be able to swim in lava. I think it’s more likely that they just reused assets from water when they programmed the lava into the game. 9:57 As for the Bowser sign being it’s own layer, that may simply be so it could easily be changed for localization in other languages. Like how the original Japanese version says Koopa instead of Bowser

We have the power to go out of bounds. Quick, we must save the Yoshis from being sacrificed.

The Bowser sign being seperate is most likely because it was subject to localisation - it says "Koopa" in Japan. Probably easier to just replace the sprite for a single sign than the entire castle.

Others: "There's nothing to find outside game boundaries!" Shesez: "Observe."

That beam in the chocolate ghost house is actually a skinny pipe/log/bone. Why the developers put it there is most interesting. It's possibly there for anti fly over with cape (there are also pipes above Tubular to stop just flying over as well). As for the garbage sprite (that's what we call it the rom hacking community), SMW uses tile sets and can only have so many loaded in at a time. Sprites and titles overlap in these slots so while one thing can look correct, another won't. Also the reason it is in the air is it screen wraps. Something too long going under the map will come back up at the top over a little. The pipe is covered over by the dual platforms to the left. Lunar Magic is an incredible program for looking at most of this as well. I learned a few things so thank you Shesez, I love all your videos.

I think originally they intended the fortress cutscene to be interactive letting you jump on the switch to blow the fortress up and later changed their minds. Best guess

"Indicating that Mario could have been able to swim in the lava at one point." That wasn't the implication I immediately took. My thought is that when they added lava into the game, they just started with water tiles, copied them, and made them deadly and changed their appearance, meaning they kept all the properties that water tiles already had and didn't bother to remove those properties since the death property would obviously overrule being able to swim in it.

In this video, we're gonna go from Super Mario World to Super Mario Out of This World, so we can explore what secrets lie in this game

Cool stuff. Even if it's nothing groundbreaking it's still nice to see what's going behind the scenes of games that invoke your nostalgia.

I know 1-3 and Iggys castle has geometry above what the player can normally see, 1-3 has some coins and I believe a 1-up, you can also find this by going back with a cape, though the camera never pans up there. I was really hoping to see that in this episode!

It's hard to unsee this and go back play SMW normally. JK that game is awesome.

This is in my Boundary Break Top 10! I hope it does very well. One of your best yet!

9:58 The reason the Bowser sign disappears is because it actually is a sprite, not a tile like the rest of the castle. Sprites are rendered on a different layer than tiles (which have 2 layers, normal tiles and special tiles,) which causes what you speak of to happen when you remove the sprite layer. As for the save prompt causing the sprites to be removed, I believe that is because the game removes the overworld sprites currently on screen in order to display the save prompt.

I always wanted to see what mario buildings look like without doors. Thanks Shesez for the most useful information ever !

Even 2d games are interesting to explore out of bounds.

never thought we would be getting a Mario world episode. well now we do!

9:58 Regarding the reason the Bowser sign is on the sprite layer instead of the actual castle layer, it's for the color change effect. Instead of changing the colors themselves, the game just flips the tiles through a few different sprite palettes. It also saves a bit of tilemap space since they can reuse the castle's tiles instead of making duplicates with the bowser sign overlaid on top.

This whole episode made me smile. Thanks for the nostalgia and taking the time to prove that this old title still has some hidden tricks up its sleeve.

This will be the greatest

The water effect in lava may be due to the lava most likely being just retextured water as well. it would save on resources to make it like that instead.

One of my favorite games ever! It's probably nostalgia talking but this game brings back so much childhood joy. Thank you for doing this. 😁

I've been waiting for this episode. Thank you! Its neat finding undiscovered stuff in mario games.

Don’t let anyone tell you what to do, I’m sure half of the videos you make were previously considered “not a worth it” and yet you always find new and interesting things. Keep on breaking boundaries!

Let’s just hope Nintendo doesn’t take this down as well

Peach: Scared, screaming for her life Shesez: Peach looks absolutely hidous

I want to thank you so much Shesez for the continued content and your willingness to tackle projects people deem duds. Keep up all the great work. It's much appreciated!

"We can put Mario's face on princess Peach's body". okay.

There was nothing new in the video that wasn't known before, but still, good job!

I love it! A return to why I used to watch Boundary Break with every release! Personally I find out of bounds aspects of retro games much more interesting. The PS2 years and back have the games which I'm most interested in, that's for sure.

Awesome work! I hope everything has been going well for you this year, all the best

I always love the people that jump in just to dislike a video the first 2 minutes it's up without even watching it.

Commenting so your analytics are better 🥺 I know 2020 has been hard on you + your videos

YES THANK YOU! I have been waiting for this episode for so long!

Fun fact, that Super Mario Bros 3 video was one of the videos that got me into video games. Keep up the great work, and Thanks!

last time i was this early, i was born

I'm half expecting another April fool's joke (video not watched yet)

I'm already back to rewatch this Shesez. I LOVE this game. Certain games give me such positive nostalgia. When my WHOLE WORLD was my dad... He was an amazing person. Miss you my friend and I'll see you later. Promise.

I love this. I've been missing you in my feed lately, and I've been busy watching Super Mario Maker 2 gameplay on other channels, but I'm glad you popped up again! I'm hoping Age of Calamity is on your list, cuz I think that'll be a blast to take apart. Love your work as always, mate! Cheers!

People in the comments when they’re early gotta be real funny real quick to get likes rn

Early commenters reunite!

5:26 that was Luigi saying “ok” right there

That intro gave me goosebumps and I dont know why

Super Mario World holds a very special place in my heart as it is the very first game i ever played. Thank you so much for doing this ❤❤

Wow this came just in time for Thanksgiving (Context below lol). Great content as always! That's why I subscribed. You never fail to entertain 👍. I'm excited to see the traditional Vinny LOZ 2 and SMW randomizer streams. Kinda became a tradition for myself to watch them.

SMW was the first video game I ever played as a kid, and it has consistently been one of my all-time favorites! This was a really nice showcase of some weird things I never knew about in one of my foundational games, thanks!

I Love your videos Shesez and I can't wait to watch more of your Boundary Break episodes.

Awesome intro! But before I continue, I want to leave a like for my 100% all-time favorite game ever. Been alive for thirty years, and this has never ever been boring to play!

I loved this! Keep up the good work dude! :)

what a cool little episode - I'm surprised there's so much to see since I used to play with layers in emulators a ton myself and the trick where you can take sprites apart like that is neat.

5 year old me says thank you so so much! You answered some questions I spent hours and hours of childhood trying to figure out but never did. The best was especially on the world map and showing what else was out there. Keep doing what you're doing sir :)

Ngl, I think I actually like seeing these retro game Boundary Breaks more than the regular ones. A lot of what you find in them is so unexpected!

Major nostalgia hit from this, super Mario world was.my introduction to console gaming. Great vid, really interesting finds!

Huge respect for the game over remix playing at the beginning. Been listening to both of those for a few years now. Still some of my favorite idling relaxing music to have on in the background

11:06 music gets me everytime, the nostalgia I feel with it is immense,

Aw man I love the intro

There's just something so beautiful about obscurity. Way to overcome the odds and finding a way to discover cool stuff.

I used to be an active member of SMWC back in 2008-2012. Glad to see that the community is still going strong 8 years later. The kinds of ROM hacks that people made back then were incredible. I can't even imagine how impressive they must be now.

A retro boundary break series Is so needed.

At 8:05, I found out when I was really little if you get flying Yoshi and you pull it off just right, you can fly into the hole right there next to the pipe, and if you pull back up just right, youll be inside the wall, and you can fly all the way through to the other side. You have to sacrifice Yoshi to jump back into the stage though. This is so awesome to me because I’ve never seen this on RU-vid before today

I appreciate these kinds of looks at older games too. Don't worry if there's nothing mind-blowing or if everyone already knows about a lot of the unused content because we've been studying these games for decades. There's always something to find that's worth looking at.

Mario ascending at the end was hilarious, can't wait for more.

Holy shit dude. you just won the internet :D .. finnally ive always wanted to see a video on SMW .. thank you so much

Thanks so much for making this video! Thanks for not giving up!

Had no clue you could do this sort of video for retro games. My understanding of them is that there are layers like you covered, but the only things that render are things you are going to see. They really had to squeeze their memory budgets back then. Which, back then, meant only make what needs to be seen. Not have skyboxes, items or other worlds underneath your current world. So pretty cool vid would love to see more of this!

I just love watching these. You're great.

Just one day off super mario world's and my own birthday! Very excited to see what this video has in store.

10:35 "Loaded nakedLakitu.000"

God I love these episodes. Well done, Shesez!

I'm playing through Super Mario World on my channel right now! Crazy coincidence lol I love this game. Great boundary break episode!

Thank you Shesez, I appreciate the work you do!

Nice glad to see you branching into 2d games. I love your channel and think it has a lot of untouched ground left to cover. Keep it up!

Not quite a boundary break, but maybe the all time coolest Game Genie effect I’ve seen was in this game. If you enter a Game Genie code that alters Mario’s jump physics and watch the opening cut scene, he tries to jump at the same time as usual, but if he lands at the wrong time and hits an enemy, Mario *dies* in the cut scene (and the game plays the map music from the Special world when he dies for some reason). I previously assumed that scene was a recorded sequence, but clearly it’s a script of actions executed in the game’s engine, and changes to the game’s physics impact how it plays out. Very cool.

I love you Shesez! You're content has so much heart :)

Always a delight to see one of these episodes drop.

Super Mario world is my favorite Mario game from when I was a kid, so this was really cool to see! Retro games in general are still really neat to see on here

4:27 him: "alright, so lets start talking about doors" me: *Doors (in Roblox) theme starts playing in my head*

3:53 < This has to be the best part of the video. Nice video as always!

9:58 The whole bowser sign might be because I believe it had to be changed from it’s Japanese version where it said “Koopa” instead. I’ve never gotten to this point in the game, but it’s just a assumption.

after 9 years of development i can die

Amazing video as always

Great video as always, Shesez!

"We might not find much, but we're going to find as much as we can." This is the best attitude.
