The Block That Developers Left Behind in Super Mario Galaxy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Freezeflame Galaxy is a vast level in Super Mario Galaxy. It's honestly pretty darn huge as is every planet associated with it. But deep inside on of its planets, cast out into space, is a block that was left behind by developers. When the scenario changes, objects unload but this particular block does not. So, can we reach this lost block? Can we open it? Let's take a closer look!

For anyone curious about jumping off the block and spinning underneath it: The problem with spin jumps are that unless the actual spin jump momentum touches the center of the block, you'll just slide underneath it and not actually break it. Getting near the block after jumping off causes Mario to either try to grab the edge or jump off it again. Touching the block while spinning also pushes Mario away from the block. I tried a lot of times and wasn't able to break it. If someone can do this though, I'd be really curious to see it!
do you know what that means?
MYSTERY GOOMBA PART 2!
@SwankyBox Could you not fly into the bottom of it with the red star power?
There's been something on my mind ever since I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2010. Look at the background of the Spin Dig Galaxy. It seems familiar. It looks as if its the remnant of the background of the last level in Super Mario Galaxy 1. It seems as if the background was that whole lava background but cooled over time.
Awesome Video
Hey man how you doin
Nintendo Developer: * left over a single block *
Swanky Box 2019: solid 10 minutes of content right here
Thats so true and frickin hilarious😂
Lol
Swanky:*ITS FREE REAL ESTATE*
@@mrsmartypants1987 I came here just to comment that haha! Great vid still Swanky, decent stuff!
Haha, yeah that's kinda sad
I love how this game is being combed down by the atom level. This game was wonderful.
This game comes from an era where Nintendo was shoehorning motion controls into everything even when they didn't need it and this game using the motion to spin is one example also using the motion to spin jump in the regular Mario Wii and also the motion controls in Super Paper Mario
@@bland9876 stfu dude
Is it weird I actually found the block alone, I was playing this galaxy and star and got curious what was up there, I found the block and on the other side I found a 1Up
I feel so bad that I never played either 😟
Ian Finrir I did, the game was amazing and earned a place in my heart
I love it when developers leave things in-game mistakenly.
It's like little Easter eggs to discover 😊
So true
WAS it even by mistake?
Sometimes it's intentional.
I think it's less a mistake, and more of a "okay, we got the polygon count down to where we need it for a smooth frame rate, on to the next level." Why spend time removing more geometry than needed? Especially when it could end up breaking something else. Game development and optimization is a complicated business.
Developer #1: damn i forgot to delete 1 block
Developer #2: dude just leave it there, no one is gonna see it
risseY
1:26 hey look it's me at the bottom
That's mad
Charkit it’s at 1:26
@@16-bitbrody82 so what? I expect people to look for my name instead of just assuming the person at the bottom of frame one in 1:25 is me. Edit: I corrected it to avoid killers like you.
Charkit people will pause it at 1:25 and look at the bottom only to be met with confusion
Charkit I made it easier for them to look for you
Developers: forget to delete box
SwankyBox: there must be a deeper meaning to this.
Mario: “yep, Ima stuck up here. Might as well relax & spend the rest of ma days getting some sleep.”
Guess I'll play this gameboy for the rest of my life.
Plot twist: Waluigi's smash invitation is inside the block
All we need is someone to open it and Waluigi will get into Smash
The Waffle Lord *Plugs Wii* Aight, lets roll
Waluigi after SwankyBox says he can't open the block: *sad wah noises*
Yes
Or possibly Super Mario Galaxy 3.
I was using a free cam and in toy time galaxy i found a block just like this one it was in the giant robot in star one I believe but I don't know what it could be there for
Poliokio 98 maybe its so u dont fall down and die when u beat the robot so mario is just on the block cuz i do hear mario or luigi hit a block then the cut sence starts thats maybe why its there
Super Mario Galaxy has so much secrets. This game is one of my favorite 3D Mario games.
Me too, but Mario Galaxy 1 give me an strange vibe and I don't know why
Yeah but that's not a secret, it's just a block left by mistake
@@teotab4293 is still interesting though
Damn. This game is over 10 years old yet we still dont know everything about it. Amazing
That block the developers left behind must've been a real Swanky Box
Christopher Moon oh hello there
I'm blocking you for this comment.
@@user-jl7cz2pe6d why??
Your commenter rights, hand them over
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see you EVERYWHERE
10:04 maybe so but Luigi is always w a t c h i n g
The luigi on the shelf
I'm surprised you haven't made a video about those unused 1-ups in Yoshi Star Galaxy in Galaxy 2. It's one of the most interesting bits of unused level design in the Galaxy games, and I think it'd fit your channel perfectly.
Yet another secret I wouldn’t know about if Swanky didn’t make an amazing video on it
Imagine being this developer accidentally leaving a block then discovering that you're part of some 10 minute video 12 years later
SwankyBox: Why are there all these random objects everywhere?
Nintendo: Oh! Thanks for finding those *random items* I dropped!
I feel Freezeflame galaxy is slightly underrated.
I watch a 10 min which talk about a forgetting block
What I have done with my life ?
wasting it away
@@Leo-zp3ot its not wasting, its using it with quality
@@Trubbsy 10+ min video about a box can be shortened down instead of rambling along a useless unnecessary story to start it off and literally stretching every second he can when he can get straight to the point. Swanky kinda lame for this ▶
You must have liked it, so that’s a good thing, so you have done something good for you. You deserve happiness.
@@Leo-zp3ot Be quiet, Crumb.
Now i thought he might of talked about the double black hole thats also in this galaxy that i saw someone post about somewhat recently its a really cool discovery
You have hacks. Why didn't you use moon jump to open the box?
I love when you make videos about the galaxy games!
So all those “can you collect every starbit” videos are IMPOSSIBLE (I also know that it is impossible either way, it’s just for a joke)
**.gets them all**
Nintendo: Leaves behind one number of coding in the game.
Swankybox: Right that down, right that down!
Nintendo: One frame drops.
Swankybox: A solid 15:59 minutes.
Nintendo: Makes there game perfect with no mistakes just make sure they didn’t get criticized...
Swankybox: Nintendo’s not being them selves, book us a meeting!
I don't mean to be *that* guy but you spelled write wrong
If you haven't already, could you cover that giant horizon that stretches across the entire background when you're in the Good Egg Galaxy or the Comet Observatory? I've always wondered what exactly that is. You're supposedly in deep space so there shouldn't be any kind of planetoid below you. Plus, there's the lights in the shape of stars below you too, which is also weird
Steve be like: *whoops*
It unlocks Waluigi in Super Mario 64 DS
9:15 I love that close Mario getting his butt burned while falling
I have a theory of how to hit that block! Jump of the ? Block, spin jump before falling down and hit the block
Gamdrew that’s what I was thinking. I wonder if that gives enough height...
@@joecremer3633 Im pretty sure it does
Actually, Shiverburn Galaxy is really more of a reincarnation of Freezeflame Galaxy. Remember that at the end of SMG1, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor imploded and Baby Luma threw himself into the resulting vortex to stop it from destroying everything, causing the vortex to instead suck in the entire universe and then spit it out, rebuilding all the galaxies but completely rearranging them, which is why a good portion of the galaxies in SMG2 have planets that resemble planets seen in SMG1.
Hey, is it possible you could cover the mysterious tiny choo-choo train in Toy Time Galaxy on the spring mushroom planet?
Soo.... i found it!
(tnx to Shiromi)
**swanky finds the most mundane thing in Mario Galaxy**
Hey guys! This is SOOOO COOL!
What does mundane even mean
Really cool to see details like this about how a level was built!
I watched a lot of your mario galaxy videos. They're great :)
@@develon3133 :)
@@glitchfish i love how you did the glitch in freezeflame galaxy. thanks to you i can reach the brown planet
@@sarasalomon4694 :)
Dev: *leaves something behind in game*
Swankybox: *and i took that personally*
I found the episode interesting, but there's something else that has had my attention for a while now.
You see, I'm actually a huge fan of Princess Peach, and I've always imagined Mario as specifically being designed to have flexible characters and lore. For example, Peach can be as smart or strong, or as dumb or weak, as you want her to be, according to the franchise itself.
This, in combination with a RUclips comment I once saw on there regarding a Smash Peach video, gave me the inspiration to imagine her as a super-powerful being (Super Mario pun intended), only unable to fight back against Bowser either because its too risky, or she's stripped of her magical powers and strength, and able to transform or save the world or more than hold her own with her wit, strength, and magic.
This combined with other thoughts like other Mario players that other characters such as Waluigi and Wario or Mona and Vanessa (of WarioWare) should have their part in the Super Mario series or others, among other things, means that I'm actually interested in your opinion on the matter.
Personally, I really think that Mario has had a lot of opportunity left on the table.
For one thing, I'm pretty sure I know for a fact that children can't really beat games at least not all that easily, at least not the main game, much less 100%, and another comment on YT stated that the games were built for children. Well, I disagree with that statement; I believe for a game to be built for children, it should be BEATABLE by children, at least the main game, and especially even failing that, it would have to be easy to learn how to beat the game for them. And I've known many cousins and friends of mine that may or may not have STILL beaten games like Super Mario World and Sonic The Hedgehog (and I'm speaking from experience), thus throwing the whole "Nintendo games were made for children" theory out the window. I mean, heck, I've played Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World since 2001, and didn't beat it until 2011 - that's how long it took for a child like me back then!
This makes Nintendo's argument about making levels simplified for children with little dramatic elements invalid IMHO. I'll be honest: I probably would've preferred a much more challenging version of New Super Mario Brothers than the version we got, even as a child and EVEN if I made much less progress on it myself; I would've found it more unique and more fun than the original NSMB could ever be to me, and even in any other circumstance, it would've made (at least for me) the worst or most uncomfortable Mario Saves Princess Peach plot(s) at least mildly acceptable (Odyssey, I'm looking at you.). With the current formula, I wouldn't really feel anything, leaving me to focus on the cringy plot of the game itself rather than the game and its mechanics themselves, which would always indicate a problem with the game, since I'm not enjoying it.
Other factors of this are that I really do think that Nintendo would design their games to be fun and enjoyable, and I personally feel like if they really meant it, they would've provided these new mechanics. Among other things that they could've incorporated along with them are new characters and kinds of plots, as well as new games starring other mechanics. If you seen channels like We Are Daisy and We Are Pauline (and I guess We Are Peach) before, you might know exactly what I'm talking about.
To top it all off, again, this means I don't really care how certain characters would be described, such as Wario and Peach, and that means I don't care if Nintendo "canonically" considers Wario and Waluigi villains; if I just wanted them to be anti-heroes who can't really decide if they want to be a hero or villain, and are interchangeably both, I have all the rights to consider them that. I'm just saying. That's what I've heard from Nintendo, anyway.
This means that I've decided to start up something called Nimio (which IS an original name, btw, in no way afflicted with Nintendo or Namco), which attempts to fill in these blank spots by giving certain characters as Waluigi and Queen Merelda more prominent roles, including star roles, and providing Peach with her own series that showcases her incredible power, wit, and magic from my own brain, among other things. Nintendo often says that they will eventually consider more prominent roles for characters as Princess Peach and Wario, for their fans. But I've figured why not just deliver them now if not for many more years, assuming it ever happens at all.
Again, as in the beginning of the comment, I'm interested in your thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance.
Slimy Spring Galaxy from Galaxy 2 has a black hole between the two main sections that you never see without hacks.
The super Mario Galaxy hidden content is my favorite content, it’s not only nostalgic af, but it interests me so much
Developers: accidentally leave a ? Block behind
SwankyBox: that’s a good 10 minutes of content right there
In the first Ratchet & Clank game, on the planet Metropolis, there is a floating swingshot target underneath the path the train takes. If you jump off, there is a gravitation pull coming from the train so you have to time your jump to get out of its gravitational pull and still enough time to get to the target. If you don't make it you die and have to start the train cutscene and the ride up again. I managed to get to it after something like 30/40 tries as I was convinced the last golden bolt was under there and I would teleport to it by grabbing the target.
Nope. I found out the hard way that it was left there by the developers. Not sure if they left it there by mistake, or just couldn't be bothered to remove it. You can interact with it and use it, but you're stuck there until you release the button and die.
This block is obviously the one from the mission in which you travel to this planet normally. In that mission, there is a block high up above the cage holding the fireflower on the lava side of the planet. It is apparent that this block was not unloaded like the rest of the planet in other stars.
Nintendo developers: (forgot to remove a block)
SwankyBox: that’s a good 10 minutes and 46 seconds of content there.
Developer: *accidentally leaves behind a singular ? block*
Swanky Box: It’s free real estate
I gotta compliment the comments on these videos. Usually youtube videos are full of repetitive unfunny jokes, but these comments are actually fairly unique.
Wow thats pretty interesting!
Nice video! Those excellent camera angles really do make the audio and visuals almost give the video a documentary-like feeling.
Me: I can karate!
Also me: 0:01
Freezeflame Galaxy was already quite mysterious for me in a way, and now I learn about this random block left behind xD
There is a pipe way below the level in good egg galaxy that doesnt seem to have anything around it
That last shot of Mario sleeping on the block was really cool
Thats meeeee. Its a Danish name. Also i have more comments on the same video.
What If it is a star in there and nintendo intended us to find it?
9:17 Mario re-enters the atmosphere
Sky trees always creeped me the hell out too
Keep it up with these good videos about the Galaxy Series! New discoveries are really cool.
The perfect music for that block is "left behind"
What about the anonymous and unseen voice of wisdom from Super Mario RPG? There is a person you can talk to behind the corner of the house in front of the castle in the Mushroom Kingdom, very near the location where Toadstool meets you outside to join your party for the rest of the game. You can't see them, they don't give you a name and they seem to offer advice until you reach Star Hill. After that they just repeat the same dialogue over and over again.
im surprised swankyBOX never made a video about the BOX on the pirateship in sm64's jolly roger bays. as a kid i tried every move on this box to open it. i came back after having 120*, i even tried dying to it 99 times after yoshi giving me the 99 lives lol.
Nintendo: alright waluigi we will challenge you to get into smash bro's
Waluigi: wahahaha
Nintendo: its open the box to get the invite
Waluigi: WAAAAAAAH
that reminds me of the mystery goomba
1:20 omg I'm spotted!
When you're so early you're not early
Tfw you're always early it becomes a hobby so in fact you're not early anymore
@@Trattt exactly
Can't you hit the Question Mark Block if you jump off and spin towards the bottom of it to hit it?
08:42 Lava planet? You mean "Crunchy chocolate-caramel bonbon that is pulled apart"-planet, right? 😁😋
Something i find weird about this galaxy is how that giant shine that usually shows where the star is always stuck on the 3rd star when you choose the other 2 missions
6:05 kinda like if you dug a hole straight through a planet
Being able to convert the subject of a single block into a 10 minutes video is pure genius
question mark (?) blocks from the Mario games are called Lucky Blocks in Minecraft, btw, so that's what i call them.
Mario's eating so much snow lol.
0:
you have just proved that it is NOT possible to beat marion galaxie 2 while collecting every starbit
If you slide down the edge and time a spin very well you can get 1 of whatevers in it out of it
I love how this game still has secrets to this day for hackers or glitchers to find :3
Love your videos bud ! Sucker for good nostalgia
Always interesting so many things get left behind!
Just want to say, I discovered another out of bounds launch star in Dusty Dune Galaxy! It’s in the 1st mission of the galaxy, where the launch star is located near a planet that has blue star chips (but the blue star chips only appear in mission 2). The planet is skinny and the sand moves really fast too, I hope you see this comment.
If you play in 2 player mode then you can spin Luma on the box which counts as hitting it.
sometimes i wonder if the Nintendo dev ever see these and think why do people like to point out the mistakes lol
No one:
Even the Viscos weren’t sksking
The developers: were done!
SwankyBox: *Are you sure about that*
Hey guys, Thanos missed a block
(8:08) Couldn't ground-pound question mark blocks in Super Mario Galaxy 2 either.
0:48 the lava kind of looks like faces...
those innaccessible things videos are my favorite
“A few lava planets” you mean stars?
Stars are plasma.
uhh..... no.
there "LavaSunMini Planet"
they are unused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry.
I've never played this game but I love this vids for some reason
Nice video! Keep up the good work. We like your videos swanky!
Im not sure if u made a video on this and im not sure if it even deserves its own video but I just noticed that in Good Egg Galaxy there are these *comets* that u can see in the background
luigi doing a demon spin kick
I am playing Super Mario Galaxy and just finished playing Freezeflame
I found a star oob in deep dark galaxy.
Dang. I thought you were going to see what was in the box....
My favorite type of videos from you
Wow first freeing the toads now the lucky blocks
Dang it man you're gonna make me wanna play this game all over again
I don't like how the Question Mark block sort of glows yellow. I think it would be prettier if the question mark was a solid white.
I think wasn’t accidental, but rather everything broke when they deleted it, so they just left it in.
Isn't it possible to jump off the block and do a very precise spin to hit the block from below though?
Wow, I never thought about travelling to that planet in the other stars. Interesting.
gmO
Very interesting as always
9:24 Imma gonna use this as a wallpaper
Super Mario Galaxy 1 left lots of things floating around
