Fun fact, if you played this game on the gameboy advance and you rage turn off the game it deletes your progress and you have to start over. Little me took a long time to beat this game.
Yeah that's why I charge it while it's Idle & I'm not using it it's really the only other way to complete it in more than 1 day I think what took me the longest was collecting stars for stuff like the boo house etc but the boss that really ticked me off was probably the pyramid section & blooper just difficult & same with the ice section fun fact: if you hit the penguins twice each they die I used that to help going to the other screens is irritating I wish they had an item to extend the pipe I beat this game a few times it's fun when you achieve it but irritating to play throughout I feel accomplished but think if a game over made you lose your star count!
Mario didn’t have to become a ball in this game. He’s not cursed, this isn’t a strange land that he needs to be a ball to maneuver through, he’s just choosing to make this harder for himself.
He’s had so many adventures to stop Bowser, he was just like “Y’know what? Let’s make this more interesting.” And then just casually becomes s p h e r i c a l
It’s funny that he says “tilting” so much, seeing as Pinball is where the term came from. “Getting Tilted,” “Hitting Full Tilt,” and “Tilting” all came from the term Pinball machines used when there was too much movement on the machine. It was an anti-cheating measure to make sure no one was shaking the machine or tilting it to maneuver the ball, and when it detected too much tilt, the machine would shut off and display “TILT” on the light up screen, indicating that it caught you cheating and would eat your money. Much like Vending Machines, people would get mad they were losing and try to shake or tilt the machine, only for it to fully cut off and they would be forced to rage quit and walk away mad. That’s why we have the term.
Its funny that tilting is now such an essential part of playing pinball games. Its like they knew its bs when you lose on a real machine to factors outside your control, so they just throw you a bone and let you save what would be a guaranteed loss.
@@Emberson-9000 Not to be an "um actually" kind of guy but tilting in pinball terms is just when you get too many warnings and end up losing the ball. The term for slapping the machine is called nudging, but you're absolutely right, it's an essential part of competitive pinball! The fun thing is how modern pinball machines are now fully aware and of this concept and are actually using it in some rulesets, such as rewarding you at points with extra tilt warnings for instance. A bit of a tangent and not related but I still find it really interesting!
In the climbing games, you learn how to control the character and get better. Here, you bang your head against the wall until it works. That is why this is the kids game.
Hell yeah, Shin Megami Tensei Pinball: Judgment!! The 2006 pinball spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for flip phones that is currently lost media! 🥴
@@ArshadZahid_nohandleideas Unironically, I’ve accidentally never heard about that till now. This sounds really cool though, so thank you for teaching me something new today!! I can’t believe Atlus had not one, but two different phone games based on one of their franchises that came out in the 2000s and is now considered lost media.
The Pinball sub game in Kirby Mass Attack was unironically superior to the actual Kirby’s Pinball Land game from the 90’s on the Game Boy. I’m actually sad they never made a Deluxe version like they did with the Sub Games of Triple Deluxe.
watching someone else play this after the quite literal years of my childhood trying to beat this game is hilarious, and after finally beating it I don't have a single memory of ever going back to it afterwards that being said this video makes me want to play it again lol
Sonic Pinball? Yeah that makes sense. Kirby Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense. Pokémon Pinball? Yeah, that makes sense. Mario Pinball? What were they thinking?
this is what happens when a pinball developer refuses to use scrolling-screen playfields on a portable game. thankfully their DS efforts (Metroid Prime Pinball / DSiware The Ancients Beckon) could take advantage of a great screen format for the genre
This is one of the only Mario games I’ve actually played and more importantly completed. I don’t think I’ve ever heard another person even mention this game before which is sad because I played so much of it as a kid. Notably, I actually did not understand the mechanics at all, I made it through with pure dedication to the art of ballin’
same, I actually remember beating this game while I was supposed to be going to sleep but was hiding under my blanket as a kid, I think I spend about a hour just trying to beat bowser till I got to the final phase and just the moment you realize its not over yet you just kind of panic and try to figure out what the game wants lol
This seems like the kind of game where you constantly feel like you must be missing some sort of important mechanic, but eventually you realize even if there was it wouldn't help because it's just that janky
This game honestly feels even more tilting than games like Getting Over It just because it's fucking Mario. This is not a game made to get you made. This is Mario. A game series meant for kids. And it's beating your ass. That's mentally destroying.
I decided to race this game with a friend after watching Jo play. I gained a significant lead through most of the game... but then I hit Bowser. I could not do it. I blew a thirty minute lead because that final boss is the most tilting thing I have ever experienced.
Jo is watching and cackling to himself in pleasure that you have to deal with this god forsaken game as well. I sat though all the Plus/Deluxe/Gold videos just for him to give up on the finally boss and I respect him for it.
I will never forget finding my old cartridge after a long absence, loading it up and pressing continue. ...and finding myself infront of the final boss room. And watching helplessly as Mario immediately falls. Straight down. Room after room, after room, after room. All the way back to the start. I threw my Gameboy to the side and put my head in my hands and cried. It had undone so much progress my child self had accomplished. It happened so fast.
I can’t in good conscience call this game bad. The presentation is slick as hell with AMAZING art and 3D work on GBA, almost every song is a banger (the boss themes are great, Under The Ice is a classic, and it’s helped by the songs that sample Hooked On A Feeling and Culex’s theme, and even the Yoshi bonus theme that sounds like Darkness Of The Unknown?!), and once you ARE able to land your shots, everything you do feels like a dopamine shot straight into the brainstem. That said, this IS a ragegame. I played it as a kid, and although I did eventually beat it, it put me through HELL. Beware.
If I had a nickel for every time a world leading video game mascot starred in a brutally difficult pinball based video game, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
After watching this game on Good, I also thought “oh this looks fun. Why is Jo stressing?”. I played it all the way through and I would like to apologize to Jo for thinking he was anything other than a gamer with Ghandi like patience
I remember beating this game ONLY because a long road trip became longer when my parents found out every hotel in the town we were going to stay in was booked, so we ended up driving for another HOUR. How I ever beat this cursed game at age 10 feels like a fever dream
Remember in Mario 64 where star 1 made you kill a bunch of guys, and then star 2 had you kill a bunch of guys, and then for star 3 you had to go into a different room and then kill a bunch of guys?
Kinda interesting how this game seems to be themed after Mario 64 dispite releasing in 2004 the coins have stars in them some tree assets are from Mario 64 and the font used is the same as Mario 64
This was my 3rd game I got when I was a kid, after Super Mario World 2 and Pokemon Leaf Green. And I recently replayed it like 2 weeks ago because I randomly remembered it again. I have no idea how I played it as much as I did when I was younger, this game is brutal XD . Glad to see Alpharad giving it a go as well :D
I remember feeling like a psychopath last year and 100%ing the game. Beating Bowser and then losing the ball was devastating. I believe for some of the optional bosses I even ended up using save states. This game doesn't mess around.
I remember this game and i was never able to beat it. Young me thought it was made to be impossible with the final boss area always sending Mario perfectly down the middle after the first hit.

There's no way to save your progress it's so annoying!

I never beat this game and I Always HATED we players couldn't Save Our Progress :-/
That's actually fucking evil, the game will always get the last laugh...
@@FudgeFace-kt7wx I know right are you winning in pinball Alpharad too evil? I did say it was hard. ;)

Mario just saw Kirby and sonic doing it and got jealous
Just like Kirby in 60% or Kirby spin-offs
He was feeling freaky that day
Toad and Peach made it look like so much fun tho

Holy shit so THAT's where TILT comes from
And yet this is a pinball game where you can't tilt, even tho that would've fixed so much of the pain.

Really Alpharad Golders will know this one
Real
The fear I felt seeing this notification.
Don't you mean alpharad deluxers?
I can still hear the swear to my bones outro 🫡
Plussy gang rise up
I finally figured out why Mc.Donalds had a Mario ball as one of its toys
Oh snap I had like 3 of those!
This game doesn't hit the same without the underwater music playing perpetually
Real.
Grrrrrrrrr
This comment caused my high blood pressure to skyrocket. Thank you
me when im a ball. an orb. a sphere, if you will
they will never be ballin
i WONT
me when i am rotund
“babe, when you come back you better not be a ball. an orb. a sphere, if you will!”
my ass:
Its a rarity to see jacob actually tilted in a game
Bowser making you go back 2 screens is mean as hell actually

Unless you're good then you just breeze thru it bc mario pinball is the pinnacle of gamer skill
well considering he just sucks at pinball, I wouldn't take him as the prime exemple for how the game is
if your favorite popular game series doesn't have its own pinball spinoff, is it really that good of a series?
Hell yeah, Shin Megami Tensei Pinball: Judgment!! The 2006 pinball spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner for flip phones that is currently lost media! 🥴

I love the fact that the hardest Mario game Is just about hitting balls until you kill everything to get a star
This is some kind of sick vindication for my poor 4th grade self playing this on car trips. I'm glad to know it truly is as tilting as I remember
watching someone else play this after the quite literal years of my childhood trying to beat this game is hilarious, and after finally beating it I don't have a single memory of ever going back to it afterwards that being said this video makes me want to play it again lol
Sonic Pinball? Yeah that makes sense.

"It's like if you were playing a Mario game and then every 20 seconds your ability to run and jump was just taken away!"
Things that stun you:
Yeah, but imagine that, but it can stun you in the air... huh, I wonder how that would play like...
yeah, I guess the better analogy would be if Bowser broke Mario's kneecaps with a crowbar every 20 seconds
Looks like you can stop him from doing the stun move by hitting him, at least... not that that makes it all that much better.
I feel like this is the perfect context in which to use the term "tilted"
This seems like the kind of game where you constantly feel like you must be missing some sort of important mechanic, but eventually you realize even if there was it wouldn't help because it's just that janky

According to Jan Misali (and me) this is technically a 2D platformer
No it's a 3D Platformer with 2D space (without gravity plane) and 1D time

thanks to jan Misali for introducing me to the existence of this and the fact that it was called "Super Mario Ball" which is funnier than it should be

Somehow despite most maps being more simplistic than regular pinball they're infinitely more painful
That's because this game has non-euclidian ball physics
Didn’t know this game reused so many Sunshine sound effects lol
Shoutouts to the McDonalds Mario Pinball toy. That was my adhd fidget toy from time of purchase all the way until I moved out of my parents' house
I still have it. It's such a fun ball

this game
is a great example
as to why quality control
is a necessary thing
noone else has gotten so much content out of this game as you
I want to see his played at events or something holy shit
Why did Jacob add music to this? We all know the soundtrack only has one song.
I remember the deluxe playthrough of this, that was rlly fun!
Collecting a star but getting the shine sprite sound feels so wrong
I remember beating this game ONLY because a long road trip became longer when my parents found out every hotel in the town we were going to stay in was booked, so we ended up driving for another HOUR. How I ever beat this cursed game at age 10 feels like a fever dream
Oh yeah, same here. I seriously wonder if kid me was high on something for having the patience to get all 35 stars for the secondary ending
that moment when the pinball table tilts _you_
Remember in Mario 64 where star 1 made you kill a bunch of guys, and then star 2 had you kill a bunch of guys, and then for star 3 you had to go into a different room and then kill a bunch of guys?
I hope whoever made this game knows life is worth living and they don't need to bring pain to others to relieve their own.
the bowser bossfight is basically any bossfight but the boss door isn't closed
Toad is a lifeless shell
0:03 for anyone who doesn’t know Mario lore, the bricks are all supposedly made of the Mushroom Kingdom, so they’re certainly staying true to…?
do you mean that the bricks are made of toads?
6:11 this song goes CRAZY
Balling over it with Mario Mario
this video would be even better if the music track “under the ice” played throughout the entire video
Super Mario Balls???? Don't mind if I do!
I can feel his pain right now.
tbh it wouldn't be too bad if your blue pipe only went away if it's hit like normal pinball. there's no titls so everything is outta your hands
As a guy who's played pinball games before, I can confirm that this is the worst Mario game.
This may be my favourite video from Alpharad of all time. Not really but I can't stop laughing
Alternative title: Jacob Alpharad gets real life mad at Mario
Just Alpharad, pondering his orb as per usual.
The true Mario Kaizo
This was one of the funniest god damn streams I've ever seen.
Finally justice for Jo!
i can SENSE this game being remastered on the switch in the next 2 years. MARK my words
I think I found my new favorite video, I ompletely forgot this game existed and how difficult it was lmao
*Some games really do be designed like they had Save States be part of the game Xd*

The "Getting over it" comparison is very appropriate

ITS FINALLY OUT
And Jacob has experienced the sum cost fallacy once again
Imagine if this game got the "Mario VS Donkey Kong remake" treatment
this game looks so fun I can't wait to play it
