Super Mario Bros. 3: Nightmare Edition - Livestream Highlight 

Laugh all you want. For a game made in 1122, this was cutting edge technology.

Made in 1122 according to the copyright. And it shows.

What? It's just an ordinary Super Mari - *OH MY GOODNESS.*

Since Bowser's sprite was perfectly fine... I'd imagine the story as if Bowser casted a hex on the Mushroom Kingdom that caused every physical object to become distorted and throw everything into chaos, but he can't even control it himself.

"We're gonna play SUPER MGURBHGURGHPH." Damn it, Jon, I JUST took a drink!

I almost died when Jon was killed by an invisible coin block XD

"I can't think of any proper glitches there are in Mario 3" "YOU GOT A BEARD!!!" *10 seconds later* *echo*"YOU GOT A BEARD!!"

The nightmare is not in the graphics. The nightmare is that the game became sentient and can actually fix and heal itself at will.

It looks like the NES sneezed.

3:47 pick aox iss comsemss aikk geko you om youq aay (silence) MORTAL KOMBAT!

I want to play some Super Grburburhegagueyer!.

sad part is, he plays the game when its glitched better than i ever could when its normal

Honestly, I'm still disappointed that he never went to any of the normal worlds' castles. I would have loved to see at least one of the King's cutscenes, Mario jumping onto the airship, Peach's letters...

Conclusion of why this is fucked up: You can see sound.

I love how the game is "Copyright 1122".

"We broke the fuck out of Mario 3" -ProtonJon

And this is where I come to the sad realisation Jon plays SMB3 better on a glitched game where he can't see a thing than I play on a perfectly normal game. :(

Prequel to Super Mario 64 Chaos edition.

EOUR█E EUEAR █OU GO█ A EARD!

Even in glitched games, invisible coin blocks still fuck with Jon.

I feel like this is what should have happened in Super Paper Mario, when World 6 was destroyed :P

And years later, TRG plays Mario 3…

Pictured here is what happened between when the Void from Super Paper Mario ate the Sammer Guys' Kingdom, and after you can return to the blank wasteland.

(c) 1122. Yeah, electricity totally existed back then.

the "MORTAL KOMBAT" just killed me.XD

Witness the story of Bowser's evil plan to destroy the mushroom kingdom, rather than rule it, with the power of "the glitch". A story in which he would have won, had anyone else been playing...

"YOU GOT A ฿₣ARD!" ... XD

Missingno's favorite game.

So good to see ProtonJon going back to Super Mario romhacks. Wait, someone used that joke in the video. I thought I was so clever.

Amusing as hell but just seems that the graphics are glitched, rather than anything particularly wrong with the game itself.

16:01 - "It's the best kind of water........... MAGICAL WATER!" I expected him to say something else there. Something beginning with "d", and ending with "eath water".

Super Mcgrgh Wrghgrgh Made in the year 1122 by NNitotodo It's a 2 PPayya Gagy

The TRG LP brought me back to this gem.

The best thing about this is the messed up text boxes and the fact that the video pokes fun at SMB3. This is better than a rom hack. n_n Invisible coins blocks and enemies... presumably worse than Cat Mario?

31:02 As I recall, when you're Raccoon Mario, the moment you jump with full P-speed, you have 256 frames (roughly 4.25 seconds) of flight time before your P-meter empties. Even touching the ground in the middle of this time doesn't reset the timer. This is why you felt like you didn't have much flight time: you technically wasted a few seconds of it on the ground!

Jon: It's time play SUPER MARIKRPRPRPPRPRPRPR.........on the NES =D

I actually saw this live and got reminded of it by looking through TVTropes. It brings back memories, I was honestly happier back then than I am now. But Jon, you just keep being yourself. Your crazy idiocy helps us all. See you on Twitch next stream

Looks like Jon's back to his normal upload schedule.

Pretend World One is a victim of the plot from Super Paper Mario. It's being sucked into the void.

Visible audio. Only at Jon's channel! But it's still anyone's missingno.

Man, Jon's knack for breaking games dates back farther than I remember

Once it said" you got a bard." OMG! THE SPOONY BARDS HAVE ESCAPED!

Let's Play Super Mario Bros. 3 with Jon as a physical manifestation of the Vinesauce ROM Corruptor.

Why do I get the feeling that this be almost as mentally scarring as "Don't Eat the Mushroom"? I mean...just...holy crap, man...O.e

Man, David Lynch makes some really cool romhacks.

"Thanks for subscribing! [gibberish]...MORTAL KOMBAT!...That's wasn't the right sound..." Solid gold.

0:42:55 Thank you, Butt Castle, greatest of heroes!

Copyright 1122 Nintendo. Wow, this game is OLD. LOL so glad you made this a livestream highlight. I missed the very beginning of this part of the stream because I was doing something else during intermission.

And THIS is why you don't drop acid before rescuing a princess.

I don't know how I watched this entire thing during the livestream without getting sick. I could still listen to Jon and the others all day though.

Is this what retro games look like to young kids?

Ah, I remember pappayya gagy like this with my friends when I was a kid.

EOURRE EVEAR OU GO A EARG Fuck, I'm dying

Why, oh why do I smell a potential Creepypasta here? O_O

Ah yes, Jon’s play through of the all-time classic game Superrggrggbrggrrbp. I remember this

This was such a treat to watch live, thanks for posting this as a great highlight. Probably my favorite ProtonJon moment of all time.

Okay, so I think they're right, and it's reading sound data as graphical data. Same type of bug that happens around Missingno sometimes in Yellow, but in reverse. As for why the game appears to be fixing itself? I'm guessing that it's the music in the battleship levels - notably the longer silent parts (or at least the overlap from the cannons/flames that cause silence because of the 1-chord limit) are interrupting the sound-to-video glitching, thus causing the game's graphics to revert to their usual form.

It was truly amazing seeing the game gradually melt into a pile of mush by the time Jon went back to world 1 and then seeing it magically pull itself together in world 8 and then start going back and forth.

"3.2k viewers? Patrick's drinking tonight." LOL. I assume pcull said that?

it's like vinesauce corruptions, i love it.

Apparently this game was made in 1122. How interesting.

Every year or so, I come back to this video and watch it again. I love this, it may very well be my favorite video on RU-vid.

So when's this getting into Mario Maker?

3:55 was too perfect. I lost it. XD

I watched this stream live, and I gotta say Jon's twitch is something you guys should all check out. He may just give you an egg.

YOU GOT AN EARG

It honestly looks a lot like what happens when someone uses the CORRUPT program on an SMB3 ROM. And that's pretty awesome considering this was on console, nothing to do with emulation or ROMs. That was one of the best things ever. Invisible Blocks, they come back to haunt Jon even YEARS after calling it quits on ROMhacks! Damn those invisible blocks! Also this is totally SMB3: Mortal Kombat Edition. Clearly Mario was trying to perform a Fatality on the cartridge while it was being used, and this was the result. Beautiful.

Somehow less glitchy then sonic '06

Jon, thank you for uploading this particular highlight. I saw this live, and I was laughing my ass off the whole way through. Now that this is here, I can watch it whenever I want!

You mean this was from an actual Super Mario Bros. 3 cartridge!? Why the hell did I have to miss this part of the stream!? Well, this is infinitely better than any ROM hack I've ever seen. Also, Jon speaking Glitch sounded MUCH more like German than when he tried to speak German in his Super Metroid ROM hack video :P

I broke out in laughter in this whole video, especially the part where Jon says, "You got a eard!" because it sounded like, "You got a beard!" and because he said it in such a weird way!

OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS!! I was hoping you would after the live stream. By far the best play through of Mario Bros 3 on the web

So glad I was there to see this live...fantastic bit

Its been a freaking long time since your last playthrough of a Mario-related game. You haven't lost the touch, you're still my favourite LPer

Love I got the double sounds I got for subbing. Now I definitely have to come to every steam. Keep up the fun humor of streaming Jon!

Wow, I never knew you spoke fluent Glitch, Jon! xD That was pretty impressive... This entire run was pretty impressive, though! I've never seen the graphics on a game mess up SO badly, yet still be fairly playable. ^^;; Thanks for this, Jon. It was a fun watch~

There comes a time in every man's life where he must decide between 1 PPAYYA GAGY and 2 PPAYYA GAGY. At which point he has to ask, "Which one is RGHHT?" Whether or not PRTNN JJN thought his situation through well enough is his own call, though the world may have its own input on the matter. Coming this fall: SSUUPRRR[[PPAA11YYGG22()NINTENDO

OH YES, OH YES. I knew this would come as an highlight. Watching it again right now!

This is my favorite Proton Jon stream

*YOU GOT A BEARD!*

3:30 Toad? You on drugs dude? 😂

Tim has the Stupoid run, Jon has the nightmare run

Best thing I have watched all day.

I don't think I've ever seen anything so beautiful in my life.

Y'know... Five years later and I realized that this video is more-or-less the perfect example of the game without the smoke and mirrors that the devs used to make it so good and run so well on the NES despite pushing it to its limits. Prime example being while Jon was up in the coin heaven in World 1 with the coin and cloud sprites. For the curious, there's a really good explanation (better than I could ever pull off) in the video of a SMB3 run done at a GDQ one year while it was still kinda small. They had a guy on the couch that knew the NES and the game (I think) inside out and was willing to field questions about the game. I just can't remember which GDQ it was and, let's face it, I'm too lazy to go looking for it.

This is amazing, but it hurts my eyes to even think about watching this for any length of time

"We're gonna play Super Mcgerhuhehgerk...on the NES."

Loved this part of the stream, this was one of the best parts of the night easily.

What games made in 1122 looked like.

I for one second thought jon was back at rom hacks his friends suggested, this is much sweeter

Everything about this was amazing.

I just watched this again for the first time in years and man I forgot how great this video was. Also I wish I knew how to grab audio and edit it together because man I would love to make a couple of "You will give me an" bits from golden pieces from this.

I keep coming back to this. It's so good! ;) And 44:23 is my favorite moment *by far*, but good job in general on beating that... that... thing.

Hands down Jon's best video yet aside from the Battletoads race.

Jon:you got an eard Me:*starts chocking on water that I was drinking*

Out ye Vinesauce! Leave this man's Nintendo Entertainment System! The power of Chris "Football" Redfield compels you!

I am shocked no one has made a rom hack of this yet. Or at least started it.

Is anyone else replaying the video at around 3:45 and laughing like mad?

This is the greatest playing of SMB3 EVER!!
