What Happens At The End of Endless Nintendo Games? 

What's scarier about the animal crossing one is that we are closer to the year 2036 than when the game came out now.

Just for those who want to know there is legit gameplay past level 29 in Tetris it just requires special techniques like hypertapping or rolling to achieve piece movement fast enough to continue gameplay.

The animal Crossing one is kind of sad. Like you’re just stuck in a 36 year time loop you can’t ever escape from

I remember my mom "beat" Dr. Mario when I was younger, and then seeing her continue on for another like 10 levels blew my mind.

When I was a kid playing animal crossing and saw that you couldn’t set a year after 2035, I genuinely thought that’s when the world was gonna end and got so scared

Something like this happened to me once. I was playing the Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon multi-player mode online, and I played a match with random players with number of floors set to Endless. It quickly went down to just me and one other guy, but we just kept going and going. We eventually passed floor 99, and the game kept going, but the floor counter was wrong; I think it just displayed 10 or something, I don't remember. We went a few more floors before we lost, but the highest floor reached that shows on the file select screen was maxed out at 99.

I find it interesting that we can reduce the endlessness of games previously thought to be endless. It's kind of what happened with the Pac-Man 256 glitch. Now I kind of wonder if a similar glitch can be performed in Mappy and Digdug.

I always found the ending from Dr. Mario really weird. Is the game trying to say that the viruses are actually aliens?

Love how the Tetris community completely demolished this video's statements

If Animal Crossing reached in the year of 2036, then the whole game would be like the Groundhogs Day.

The ending to Dr. Mario is actually kind of creepy. It gives the feeling that the virus's are not gone, and they will be back.

In tetris the strongest players in the world are now able to reach even the glitched colors, so level 29 is everything but a kill screen for them. Tetris does however crash after a few hundred levels because if I remember correctly the score becomes so high it lags the game until it crashes

about the tetris thing, last year a guy did a video where he used an ai called stackrabbit to go past level 29 and it went all the way to level 237 before the game crashed. people also usually go past level 29 in tournaments and stuff

The ducks are coming straight from the Duck Hunt anime. They're so fast that you only see them for a single frame

2:30 **MOON STARTS HURDLING TOWARDS EARTH**

There is an AI that got way past level 29 in Tetris once. The game will eventually use pieces of its code for colors (making brand new color schemes), since you've gone past the point you weren't expected to survive.

2:52 Ah the infamous Y2K bug

You gotta watch Tetris competitions. Those guys are insane and it is common now to go past the "Kill screen" aka level 29

Growing up, I spent hours of my life trying to get to Phase 99 in the Gameboy Advance remake of the original Mario Brothers arcade game.

Can't wait to go back to 2000 after 2036!

Update: it turns out Tetris is indeed beatable

Am I the only person that think Wario Ware just repeating the last game on and on is the creepiest thing?

3:50 getting past that is possible, just extremely hard

0:05 you cannot beat us

5:18 I love the dont move minigame its alot of fun to cheese

3:45 people have become so good at the game it's usual for them to go on forever, past level 29 and on

6:45 This ending is… so beautiful!

In tetris, the speed cap is at lvl 29, some players managed to make it past that level, one even going as far as lvl 143, im pretty sure this game is infinite, the only thing that changes from level to level is the colors.

1:20 this makes sense as Judge 8, in Smash Bros., freezes your opponent

There are tetris players that developed new ways to move the pieces called hyper tapping and this other technique where they use a glove and and "roll" their other fingers on the back of the pad. Rolling has led to unbelievable new high scores, including glitched out levels where the colors change. Very cool stuff

I don't know if it's already posted here, but the Animal Crossing 2036 bug is due to a bug in Unix coding. Year 2036 is the last year the time can count up to. Look it up. Unless devices are updated, the 2036 bug will affect them.

3:05 *If anybody wants to see, there's a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up.*

The interesting thing about Classic Tetris is that players have advanced their strategies to the point where level 29 play is now common in both regional and worldwide competitions. Level 146 is currently the highest level reached by a human player, to my knowledge. The colors on the screen had messed themselves so badly that the pieces were only barely visible.

3:41 actually the lvl 29 isn't neither unbeatable nor the last level, a lot of people went a lot past it and someone coded an ai that reached arround lvl 127 (color palletes started to glitch, sounds as well, until the game crashed) correction: iirc the AI actually went all the way up to level 238

I've seen TAS videos of NES Tetris showing that after level 255, it loops back to level 0, though an unmodified version of the game will likely crash before then because of how high the scoring gets as it scales up

3:50 You can actually get MUCH further than this, as the furthest legit run actually got to the “Glitched Colours” segment, although casual players cannot get past Level 29, which is why it is referred to as the Killscreen.

When numbers start over after a maximum of that number has increased.

5:13 lmao turn on captions

Reminder that a similar thing happens to WarioWare DIY as a mix of both Judge and AC:CF. Time based stuff can't happen until you restart your DS 24h after a time travel gone wrong or a time issue. However, if your system is set to let's say past 2100 (which my DS got set to via iirc a glitch either involving MW1 DS or getting past max score and still saving in WWDIY (I remember those 2 things happening around the time the save corrupt), you can't progress anymore with sales or even sometimes trading/giving microgames.

0:10 This duck has RD-601

3:24 why do i love the way how mario just goes "DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA"

5:02 I actually did this not only on an actual GBA SP when I was little, but also 2 years ago on a PS Vita with RetroArch, whilst 100%ing the Japanese version of WarioWare: Twisted (mainly to see all the differences currently undocumented on TCRF)

Technically Wrecking Crew has a second loop difficulty increase. If you keep going after looping back to the first level the fireballs appear more frequently.

Oh look, my childhood with Mario Bros GBA.

Wrecking Crew is one of the easier ones to figure out what happens since the game has a built in level select. As for Dr. Mario, I’m only familiar with the NES version, but the levels beyond 20 essentially max out on the same number of viruses in the jar. Special cutscenes happen every 5 stages.

5:24 this part sounds like an music playing

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a time limit instead. The game will say you have to reset the clock to continue playing at the start of 2061

04:56 ...even if your real score is 10,000 points, it still shows 999*

7:12 that's the UFO in Wii play motion

4:05 Mario: WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER 99 YEARS Luigi:

For micro mini games I use the monkey jumping from one tree to the next to reach maximum points when I was younger. It took me around two hours and a half, ha ha.

Literaly have never seen full ice climbers gameplay until now, which feels crazy because they're in smash

So now a 13 year old kid got past level 29 in Tetris up until the game crashed and AC on the Wii is 12 years away from 2036

I wouldn't call Tetris impossible to continue. Tetris: The Grandmaster 2 had Death mode, where the blocks drop without gradually falling, and I've seen people murder that. We watched some dudes at Magfest do it live. If you thought THAT was hard, there's also death mode +.

here's how you beat Lv. 99 in Duck Hunt 1: Hold tip of Zapper to lightbulb 2: Pull trigger 3: Win

I love how wario turns from a fun game to limbo

The Tetris one looks playable. At speeds like that, I usually just look at the next piece box and play like that (and trust what's happening on the board is happening)

The last game was my childhood and I never could remember its name

What i find odd is i actually remember beating tetris as a kid. When I played on the Gameboy back in 95 I remember getting to the part where a short cutscene played, showing a birds eye view of what appears to be a Russian cathedral. St. Basil's tower or something similar

The animal crossing countdown was so suspenseful

the WarioWare ones in these videos are so underWhelming and so overwhelming at the same time

2:53 TF, when did Tortimer put you in a time machine?

Wait you mean the lightning fast Ducks in Duck Hunt Behind The Scenes were real?

1:04 Hey, where’s you get that version of Judge?

About the Animal Crossing one, if you play Animal Crossing: New Horizons and change the system time to 2036, it actually works because the game follows real life time rather than it’s own.

I feel like I'm gazing into infinity and seeing things no man should witness

The duck hunt one is missing a duck makes dog laugh infinitely

I remenbered back in 2017 seeing someone reaching phase 99 in Mario Bros GBA.

Hello there, can you please do all of the fastest characters in Smash Ultimate including All DLC with the speed tier list? The last update you uploaded it ended with Steve.

Tetris past level 29 is possible. Humans have gone significantly past it. There was a bot that found the ACTUAL end to the game, thousands of levels in, where the game becomes unable to calculate the score because of it being too high, and it crashes.

The tetris one is hilarious as the world championship for it just concluded and in the past year especially most players have learned to play past the “kill screen” that is 29 through first tapping really fast and now a new rolling technique

I think the Judge softlock is a bug with the emulated version you're playing, since I have a physical copy and it resets after the alarm sounds.

It’s nice to see the retro characters from Smash in their original series, (some not all) Then to see how they changed a few jiggles into complete songs, pretty impressive,

thank you for sharing your expertise with such enthusiasm!

re: the Tetris one, that's just how the top players play, with crazy hand rolling techniques and over-under taps, etc. Wild.

Gonna be that person to bring this up. likely not the first and not the last. Tetris for NES, has no definable limit. as 29 is it's "Kill Screen" But is entirely still playable past it, and it even functions the same as it would if you just never hit 29, never increasing the speed. The highest i've personally seen is in the mid 60's as that's the point where your endurance is just gassing out, but to be honest. If you were just insanely long winded and skilled enough, you could play forever. with no real limit. The process of both Hyper tapping and rolling is something that was discovered to help players get past what is normally a great challenge, but i've even seen some traditional pad players reach high 30's just through sheer skill. It's become actually a problem, as tournament matches are growing much longer and thus, not ending on time.

3:16 DADDD THRER ******** CHEATING

if you guys dont know. there is not only Level 29 kill screen, but there is True KIllscreen and Rebirth screen. For true killScreen The game crashes in level 155. for rebirth if you complete level 255, it will loop back to level 0

3:47 Players who use rolling technice "Are you sure about that?"

Imagine if new animal crossing games were only released on the final year of each game

I think I already know what the Animal Crossing one will be. The reason behind the limit is that December 31st, 2035 is the highest possible date that can be represented by a Unix timestamp. So either it will just loop around to the smallest Unix timestamp, or it will overflow into other data and chaos will happen.

Actually, it’s possible to get past level 29 in NES Tetris, cause I heard that this kid called “Blue scuti” managed to get to level 157, and crashed the game!

A giant "YEAR!" sign while an animal crossing villager stares into your soul and the text "At the of time" is on screen is just so ominous

(2:10) Confusing international viewers by not putting the units in order of size.

You seem to have forgotten that the actual end to all of these games is "The end" Could've saved some time

Dr. MARIO for Game Boy soft locks on level 28. Level 25 and 26 are the two hardest levels, but if you beat them, level 27 is actually (comparatively) easy to beat. Level 28 will then load all its viruses, but Mario's evidently gone home because he's not there to throw any more pills, leaving you to simply watch the viruses dance on the screen. Forever.

Dr. Mario goes up to Level 24. That's as full as the bottle can be and still be playable. It just loops after 24.

This will be another epic video

that's actually pretty slow for tetris standards. the pieces are also still visible.

Legend has it Billy Mitchell can get past the kill screen of DK by starting in "super ape mode" that only he has the ability to do. Don't question it or he'll sue you lol

The animal crossing screenshot in the thumbnail made me burst out laughing, idk why but I was imagining, like what if for the new years celebration in NYC, when the ball dropped, everyone just yelled “Year! Year!” 😂😂😂

1:28 NiNe NinE

you know you've been reading too many creepypastas when you keep expecting something freaky to happen

3:41 Hypertapper's and Rollers: "Hold my beverage."

The duck hunt one was Nintendo effing With you.😂

Could you see what happens for Punch Out Wii Little Mac fighting until he loses 3 times, certain Super Mario 64ds minigames...etc

Small correction: NES Tetris players got past 29 I think

Very interesting, I never considered Animal Crossing would have the equivalent of a kill screen. Makes sense though

Reminds me of the time I used a Gameshark to hack infinite health into my copy of Starfox 64. I wanted to see if the boss fight against that golem on Venom 1 really was an endless hallway. Turns out you will eventually crash into a dead end. But because of the infinite health cheat, Fox clipped through the wall instead of being destroyed by it and the fight continued in a black void. I also tried it with the Train Boss on Macbeth. He will eventually try to take out Fox with an unavoidable divebomb attack. But with infinite health on it you're stuck taking infinite damage.

Ducks must have been achieving Made In Heaven tho..
