Wow! Talk about a walk down memory lane. I recently lost my mom and this was her favorite Super Mario. She would play the whole game get 99 lives get to world 8 and hand the controller over to me and say "I don't know how to beat this world, you do it Charlie." Thank you for making this video, it brings back very good memories.
+Charles Gayman This is the last game I ever watched my mom beat, I feel ya. She's not dead, luckily, but she stopped playing games once controllers got joysticks. I got good at controller joysticks, and dad followed, and mom prefers sharing a save with dad while he plays lol
Thank you all of you. My mom was 69 when she passed. I'm just glad I was there to see her off. Yeah my mom coudn't get the joysticks down either but she did master Bust-a-Move for the PS1. She couldn't play anything else lol.
Final glitch for the less nerdy: You're entering a pipe in a glitched way that causes the game to derp out and run code based on enemies' positions. By manipulating their positions you can cause the game to skip to the end.
Can you please not stretch 4:3 game footage to fill the 16:9 frame? I understand the temptation, but everything just looks fat and weird. That's my only gripe. Besides this, amazing episode! My favourite RUclips series, by far!
Usually i would agree with you, but to be honest, I would rather have it like this than in previous episodes where most of the screen is static and not used. This is just showcasing a game also, with actual gameplay, I'd post in the ratio it was made to be viewed at. Funnily enough NES games are actually closer to 1:1 ratio.
Once when I was a kid, I played this game with a friend on his NES. I don't know if the cartridge was in the NES wrong, if there was something jut wrong with the cartridge, or if my friend just had a shoddy NES, but we turned it on, there was some glitchy images, and suddenly we were greeted with the end of the game. Never happened again.
I absolutely love your videos. There are so many shows about glitches that are just like, "LOL, look how weird the game behaves after this glitch." But you actually take the time to understand the glitches and explain why they happen. I appreciate that. You get my star of approval, a check plus, and an A for 'Outstanding'
Luz Celeste I don't think Andy knows what he said either. It sounds pretty obvious that he's just saying what the glitch-finders wrote. I certainly couldn't put it in easier words.
Luz Celeste What's hard to understand? You perform certain specific actions which write certain addresses to the game's memory. You them perform a specific glitch which causes the game to try and read that re-written memory. The re-written memory was re-written with specific code that tells the game to load the ending cutscene. It's similar to the more recently found Credits warp for Mario World on SNES.
Fenrir the Rrowdy I'm not into technical jargon really either..that's why I assumed it was fairly easy to understand. I wasn't trying to be condescending. I just honestly figured it wasn't hard to get. Certain moves in the game change certain parts of the code. A specific action activates the code. The code causes a thing to happen. Simple enough.
This was the first ever Son of a Glitch video I ever watched. I remember being 8 and mentioning it to my parents, who unsurprisingly weren't happy with the name. Thanks for the memories A+Start!
@@erroroliver I actually don't even think they ever knew the channel. I think I used "Son of a Glitch" as a phrase and they assumed I was being subtle with cursing.
The hammer suit sliding sprite seems more like it was an intended placeholder for the case of obtaining the power-up while sliding, rather than being an unused sprite. It IS used. It’s just a rare occurrence.
That final glitch in one sentence: By placing enemies in specific locations and using the glitch pipe entrance, Mario is sent to RAM and from there, he can manipulate the code and trigger the ending cutscene.
5:18 is an engine bug that exists in mario 1, mario 2 jp and mario 3. Spawning a mushroom will kill a vine growing, since only 1 item is possible to spawn. The vine stop in Mario 3 is only possible in that stage. The item spawned doesn't matter.
But Mario 3 can support multiple items on screen. There are big question blocks that spawn 3 1ups at once. But they somehow managed to overlook the overwriting of powerups 😢
@@IrisGalaxis At the same time. I guess I wasn't clear about that back then. The 3 1ups spawn in a row, not at the same time. If 2 items try to spawn at the same time the second item deletes the first, which includes vines growing, but once it's out it's fine. The vines that were already made don't get deleted but it's cut off early however
@@Shikaku2the example shown in this video are also in a row, not at the same time. He hits a 1up block, the mushroom spawns. Then he hits the next one, that one spawns and the first mushroom despawns. Why doesn't that happen with the giant question block 1-ups?
Optional: Bet your friends that you can beat Super Mario Bros. 3 within 10 minutes. 1. Beat 1-1 and 1-2. 2. Get the whistles in 1-3 and the castle. 3. Use a whistle and enter world 2. 4. Use a whistle and enter world 7. 5. Perform the 7-1 glitch. Optional: Win money.
Step 5 is basically TAS-only, and I'm not even sure about the "basically." It would take thousands of tries (no exaggeration) to get it correct as a normal player, and considering that if you mess up it has the potential to crash the game or the like... yeah.
TheGigaBrain This trick was done live at Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, iirc. I'd wager it's possible, just that it takes a *lot* of practice and research, like most speedrunning tricks.
iankeith Actually, I saw a video of that being performed in real time after I posted that comment :) I guess this will have to be an occasion where I admit that I was wrong.
TheGigaBrain Cool as hell to see though, isn't it? People have been doing a lot of research into doing these in a lot of games; it's been done somewhat in DKC and other games more and more often now.
iankeith Yeah, these kinds of glitches are always cool to see. You do seemingly random stuff at a fast pace, and the next thing you know, you're at the credits.
Here's a fun fact- in the bowser fight Nintendo forgot to program a hitbox in his body. His hitbox is actually in his head. So if you duck while bowser does a stomp attack and he won't hurt you.
For those of you looking to do no-fire bowser in the Virtual Console version, that's been fixed in that iteration! Also, the pit will be narrower, making the fight harder.
That last glitch reminds me of the matrix. When he ends up in the final room, peach is crying because she's realized her real world was a lie and they are now in the real world (inside a video game but whatever).
5:20 looks to be because the vine counts as a powerup, and spawning a second powerup makes it disappear. Note how it vanished with the flower's arrival.
ecwcwwf TASvideos.org explains it 10x better; the game has to do something. but what? the instructions are located at a certain place, which is changed when Mario goes too far below the level. such is located at the x-position and sprite slots of the enemies. by manipulating them, they execute things using controller inputs. the controller inputs basically say "go to credits", so that's what the game does.
Final glitch for the nerdy: This trick involves the pipe end trick glitch that takes you out of bounds where a glitch tile and enemy x-positions are used to execute arbitrary code to skip straight to the ending. Touching an invisible glitch tile makes the processor tries to update memory outside of the normal tile data at an address that reprograms how the processor interprets adresses. This causes executions to jump to an un-intended area of the ROM and execute incorrect instructions. Eventually the stack overflows and it starts executing RAM instructions beginning at a certain address which is just before the location of the player's and enemies' x-values. To get to the ending, three consecutive x-values are needed which come from the enemies on screen and their x-positions. By having these values and then using the pipe glitch in this way, Mario is taken out of bounds and then eventually to the end of the game, skipping the entirety of world 8. That's pretty mind blowing!
+Harrison DuRant yes it was the US-Version if you mean that. But it was tool assisted, if you want to the the fastest done by a human click here: www.twitch.tv/mitchflowerpower/v/3767813
replicagl I have not alot stuff to do with IT, but I watched alot SMB3 streams, and played the game too So don't worry it's rather important to know the game
The glitch with disappearing 1UP mushrooms is very odd when you consider that there's at least a couple giant "?" boxes in the game which release three 1UP mushrooms all at the same time, granted, they're in rooms with no enemies or such, so perhaps it's using sprite space which normally would be reserved for enemies? :o
I've watched pretty much all of your Sonic / Mario videos. You make awesome videos. I don't know how you find all of these cool glitches but it's very enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
These glitches would have made me a hero back in the day as I was actually around when these games first came out and glitching was basically unheard of and no one thought possible.

That's Pretty *MiND BloWInG* Lol, This is meant to be a joke, I know it's not that simple too, I just copied that part's script word for word, and I actually didn't copy it, I wrote this whole thing instead of copying and pasting, why? I'm CRAZY, or, am I??
Awesome video! I love playing Super Mario Bros. 3 so I loved it when you did a son of a glitch episode about one! That last glitch you did was totally awesome and weird at the same time! Did you do that yourself?
i did a glitch where i shot the king with a fireball(during the cutscene when you have no control over Mario, wtf?) at the end of world 3. the fireball hit him, and made a noise, but didn't hurt him or anything. but his body had slight screen tear for a second when it hit. it was the switch nes online version, i recorded it
At the start of every Castle, you have 2 frames (Or just 1 if the previous level was you beating a fortress...) when Mario spawns where you can either jump or shoot a fireball.
Thank.you for making a very cool video! I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but if you enter a stage with a p-wing and collect a tanuki suit, your turn into a tanuki Mario who can still fly indefinitely until the end of the stage! I found that glitch when I was a kid.
about 2 years ago i played the all-stars version of super mario bros 3, and when i accidently fell down a hole in 1-1 or so, i glitched my screen and it took me to the final boss and eventually the end of the game, and this all happend in about 10 minutes. fastest speed runner here
Those glitches/bugs shows how SMB3 had an glitch hunting timeline since the start... I remenbered doing some of these with the 3DS Virtual Console release, which is i first played this game back then.
On 5m37s: "This is because the game does not aloud more than one item on screen at any one time". Not true: there are several rooms in the game where you find giant question marks boxes containing three 1-ups...
@6:47 this is the part where lot of crazy sophisticated words explaining arbitrary code is perfectly explained causing my brains x value to turn into jello
1:49 this glitch occurs because water is bg layer, and Mario is behind all layers, meaning when he goes underwater, we can't see him. If you do the same glitch, but won't enter the pipe with water, just stay long enough in areas without bg elements and glitch will be corrected.
Ive found a glitch in sonic forces classic sonic in level 10 there where C.sonic falls through the floor and most way down he will look forward as if you are M.sonic and your character start of the level view 😄
At the end of 4-1, I threw a giant Koopa shell at the fire Piranha Plant. The shell clipped through the pipe and made some loud noises lol. It's surprisingly not that hard to do.
Is the arbitrary code execution at the end possible on an actual copy of the game? It looks and sounds so complicated, I'm willing to believe it's impossible to do so outside of properly hacking a ROM.
Doctor Who? Sethbling can, along with some other people though. You can do it on the first stage of the game, but it is much more complex in SMW, and takes 4:00 usually
so far on my 3ds copy all i have been able to accomplish is crash my game with a bunch of interesting results. i have the snes allstars and nes copy of it. i will be trying it on both tomm.
+Joseph Demjanick Guys, there is a simpler method, I can't get it to work on the 3ds vc but it works on Wii vc and on an original nes, find dotsarecoolp for stuff like that

Mario maker flashbacks
It’d be amazing if the last glitch involved Mario t posing 🤣
The content, editing, and voice over are fantastic. But the aspect ratio of the video is all wrong! It makes it a little hard to watch...
My thoughts between 6:49-7:36:
Me: "Square box, round pizza, triangle slices... I'm confused!"
Game:p-wing
SUBTITLES:PEE WING
You watch with subtitles
Who doesn’t.
I'll never forget being a kid and spending hours just looking for secrets and glitches. I love this game it's the best Mario Bros in my opinion.
i did a glitch where i shot the king with a fireball(during the cutscene when you have no control over Mario, wtf?) at the end of world 3. the fireball hit him, and made a noise, but didn't hurt him or anything. but his body had slight screen tear for a second when it hit. it was the switch nes online version, i recorded it
At the start of every Castle, you have 2 frames (Or just 1 if the previous level was you beating a fortress...) when Mario spawns where you can either jump or shoot a fireball.
@@TompaA I didn't knew that bug, but may try that...🤔
@@IvanFranco120 Go for it, not too hard to do =).
Hopefully the mini nes will support these glitches. Great Vid!
I watched this in class.
Did you get in trouble
@@ThePikminCaptain lol he said that 3 years ago
You madlad
Ok
Nice
I remember doing a few of these glitches myself. Thanx for bringing back some good memories.
6:44 and the best glitch starts
Wow interesting stuff. Also, for some reason I just now got your name A + Start. haha
Wow, this is insanely amazing! I must admit, however, that I am missing the true aspect ratio. Stretch to 16:9...meh. lol
@Asher Brown thanks!
AaronGrooves you remember how old this comment is right

Thank.you for making a very cool video!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but if you enter a stage with a p-wing and collect a tanuki suit, your turn into a tanuki Mario who can still fly indefinitely until the end of the stage! I found that glitch when I was a kid.
Mind freakin' blown!!

by the way you almost have 1m subs

At 7:07 I was lost, Oh, And when you started talking about it. I can understand a little advanced but... now my brain hurts.
about 2 years ago i played the all-stars version of super mario bros 3, and when i accidently fell down a hole in 1-1 or so, i glitched my screen and it took me to the final boss and eventually the end of the game, and this all happend in about 10 minutes. fastest speed runner here
it wasnt timed so no it dosent count ;)
If only it were recorded...
hmn... mention this at TASvideos.org.
This means that the GBA version is the hardest
Those glitches/bugs shows how SMB3 had an glitch hunting timeline since the start... I remenbered doing some of these with the 3DS Virtual Console release, which is i first played this game back then.
Last Glitch Explanation:
A+Start as I know it.
Recently purchased SMB3 for the 2DS. This was helpful, thanks! ;)
That dreaded wide screen...
Its an old NES screen resolution, instead using the original with the black bars...
My mind is blown 🤯. This is awesome
i just found a glitch: I had flower power, then I jumped under 2 flying goombas, lost my power, then went up in the air higher than usual
this is how you made this series:
*you lose in a mario game*
you: son of a s-
your friend: glitch
*you have idea to make "son of a gltich series"*
That last glitch HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Subbed btw.
theYTfox thank you :)
I wish I knew all these glitches back when I was 10. Thanks for sharing.
On 5m37s:
"This is because the game does not aloud more than one item on screen at any one time".
Not true: there are several rooms in the game where you find giant question marks boxes containing three 1-ups...
You don't need to say 5m37s. Just 5:37. 5 colon 37.
And you dont need to nit pick a stupid detail. Dickhead
@@danielsoderstrom1930 or he could just say 337s
Stonecon Rude
This is my favorite game of all time. I didn't know about the glitches but knew about the cheats.
2:34 Piranha Plant: WTF
@6:47 this is the part where lot of crazy sophisticated words explaining arbitrary code is perfectly explained causing my brains x value to turn into jello
Is it just that the Nintendo Switch Online does it or is it an unused room? (The Bowser statue glitch)
this is before the switch even came out.
5:45 muncha **sips on tea in brittish**

Unless it wasn't.
It was.
+Dr.Beef it wasn't
Thomasynthesis
It was.
You apparently just don't know the show, in which case you shouldn't talk about it as if you do.
Dr.Beef it wasn't
I love your voice. It's awesome :D
Wish video was in correct aspect ratio.
Earned my sub like all the glitches :)
0:48 I knew this one, I made it tons of times in the GBA version, doesn't needs P-Wing :T
This one is also listed in the Mario 3 strategy guide from Nintendo Power.
1:49 this glitch occurs because water is bg layer, and Mario is behind all layers, meaning when he goes underwater, we can't see him.
If you do the same glitch, but won't enter the pipe with water, just stay long enough in areas without bg elements and glitch will be corrected.
Ive found a glitch in sonic forces classic sonic in level 10 there where C.sonic falls through the floor and most way down he will look forward as if you are M.sonic and your character start of the level view 😄
At the end of 4-1, I threw a giant Koopa shell at the fire Piranha Plant. The shell clipped through the pipe and made some loud noises lol.
It's surprisingly not that hard to do.
Is the arbitrary code execution at the end possible on an actual copy of the game? It looks and sounds so complicated, I'm willing to believe it's impossible to do so outside of properly hacking a ROM.
No, you can do it on a normal NES
ShadowSilver1991 Yes. In fact, look up a video about it being done on SMW. Someone (I forget his name) can do it without the use of TAS or anything.
Doctor Who? Sethbling can, along with some other people though. You can do it on the first stage of the game, but it is much more complex in SMW, and takes 4:00 usually
so far on my 3ds copy all i have been able to accomplish is crash my game with a bunch of interesting results. i have the snes allstars and nes copy of it. i will be trying it on both tomm.
+Joseph Demjanick Guys, there is a simpler method, I can't get it to work on the 3ds vc but it works on Wii vc and on an original nes, find dotsarecoolp for stuff like that
I have found over 100 graphical errors in SMB3 while hacking it. Mostly 1 pixel off or missing type of stuff.
The Bowser who doesn't shoot fire is NOT a glitch, that was programmed intentionally as a reward in case you get to the end of the game with a P-Wing.
