40:05 I think this moment convinced me that a hardcore run isn't the way to go, because if it stifles exploration for the sake of safety, I don't think the trade-off is worth it. edit: lol that ending is troll
Yeah I'm not sure why you would do your first playthrough of a game on a hardcore run. Don't you want to enjoy the game as it is and understand what this game has to offer?
also, the final-final level is actually pretty challenging, even by non mario level standard. lol, 100% hardcore for the first run doesn't seems like it would be much fun.
@@jeanguylouisbourg I agree wholeheartedly. This game ramps up in difficulty pretty hard once you get halfway through, as is tradition for mainline Nintendo titles. Getting all the collectibles on one of the castles took me like 30 minutes of attempts, and the Jr fights are much more difficult than in New Supe
8:40 I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't playing with headphones, but when I saw the "are they singing?" line, I immediately paused the game to grab some, then replayed the level just to hear it from the beginning fun fact: each individual piranha plays its own separate "voice", so killing a piranha plant will remove that voice from the song. In certain sections, this just leads to really awkward silence for a moment before more of them pop out
"I wouldnt want to bother a sleeping goomba thats just mean" Hard cut to literally 30 seconds later Massacres all 4 of them with newfound elephant 'powers'
Blind hardcore is not the way to go on this lol. At the end of the video not trying something because you're afraid of dying is going to keep you from exploring. It will happen again. Plus by the time you reach the last few worlds it's inevitable you will die in pits or lava. Restarting multiple times when you reach the final world does not seem like a good choice lol.
I can't believe that he would just throw away his chance of having a fun and casual time with the first 2D Mario in a decade. (More towards the 2nd half of the game)
Restarting after dying isn’t a good choice if you find joy of beating the game quickly, but for the mind of a Larl he enjoys dying and can laugh when doing so even if it means restarting.
@@zukor2063We have to remember that many of the troll levels he plays, singular levels, can take over an hour to complete. Carl wouldn't be in the troll community if dying to something stupid and having to restart didn't bother him. That being said, I do think that he will eventually get far enough, and want to explore enough, that he'll drop the hardcore idea
My absolute favorite part of this game is how beautiful it is. Every single level has its own unique feel and design, that all fit well into actual unique world themes rather than desert world, grass world, snow world, etc. It's layers on layers of clever and fun artstyle in each level. The creative direction for this game is incredible
What I love about this game, and I can say with confidence after finishing it is that it feels like a Mario Maker level, instead of other Mario games where the courses feel so rigid.
I noticed this detail too. I think adding in more secrets and fun stuff in normal levels, as well as shorter bonus-style levels EVERYWHERE, really help give it that "alive" feel that Mario Maker has. They've embraced the fun and the silly
it literally felt like they programmed in bespoke functions that acted like certain mario maker contraptions. that piranha plant segment in the 2nd level felt very much like an autoscroller music level
I can't tell you how many times I was cruising through a level the first time, and the flowers hinting at the end of the level coming preventing me from missing the top of the flagpole. The use of the talking flowers for quick bits of relevant information is incredible design.
@@Endir.Lmao, it's been so long, they forgot how to have lives go above 99 even if you bought more than that. Crown Crown Crown in that one 2d game was great.
That second Level, Wonder Seed making the Piranha Plants sing is so amazing, i cant explain it. Its just… It reminds me so much of Loco Roco and there is just something that makes my Retro Feelings activate which i love.
I 100% ran the game and can say this is the most satisfied with a Mario game i've been in a while. I just wish they had something like the B-sides in Celeste for some endgame goodness
I really like how they adopted the same philosophy as the recent Donkey Kong Country games, where every single level is unique and its own experience. I also like the challenge idea to spice things up, since this game is very easy (though I wouldn't try that on the 100% for now lol).
You have the same New Soup habit that I do of spinning with every jump! My biggest gripe with this game is that spin jumps are useless - they don't let you bounce off piranhas or thwomps. They also have a fixed height.
I'm loving this game, and I'm looking forward to the ROM hacks that I'm sure are imminent. I'm hopeful that troll makers decide to use Nabbit as the troll Kaizo block standard. Imagine having Nabbit locked away from the player, but any time they need to put an invisible block in the way of the player, it's specifically a Nabbit block. Nabbit just feels like the kind of character that would be trolling players, so I'm hopeful we can establish that in the community cannon early.
Feels like as if all good Mario Maker levels were pushed together and skinned with fresh painting. Love it! Now, the functions to creative MM-creator techniques have been added.
Would love a full playthrough but am also voting for no hardcore because Carl isn't observant enough to get everything the game is throwing at him and it is inevitably going to result in haphazard deaths that destroy all progress. Like the only reason the video ended on that pipe is Carl never noticed the game explicitly had the pipe glowing and sending light down past the bottom of the screen because it only did it for a second because it assumes you're actually paying attention.
44:00 I completely agree. They decided to use X for social features, but when you're trying to go full speed and use powerups to their fullest, having to let go of run kinds makes things awkward. I checked and you can't change the bindings either sadly. You have to *choose* between X/A or Y/B for sprint and jump, rather than having both like in every previous mario game
The "Piranha plants on Parade" level is so awesome. It's my youngest daughter's favourite part of the game, so much that she plays it over and over 🤣🤣🤣
SMBW be like : Here's a composer level, what a joyful music level with beautiful choreography Also SMBW: Here's Lemmy ball--- i mean hippo balls! (Carl will 100% use these balls for EVIL if it came to SMM)
While I enjoy the plants, I can see how it may be jarring for some people to have this colourful cartoon world where everyone talks in sound effects and gibberish, and then the vegetation has the voice of a middle class white guy. 😆
@@blakksheep736 yes, exactly! I know the characters have voice clips for the different actions and whatnot they do, but that’s not the same as full voice lines.
Geeeez what an ending! Anyway, here's yet another comment saying maybe hardcore isn't the way for a first run. 100% seems fun though, especially for those of us who want to enjoy this game vicariously through you 😊
I swear someone proposed this idea to nintendo like a decade ago and they were probably like "That's stupid." This is such a huge change for nintendo, and I think it's a change for the better.
One thing that's kind of funny about his first death, is he totally could have gotten out of that pit with the badge he had selected lmao, obviously he didn't know that because it was his first playthrough but I thought it was a little funny
Im only gona keep watching this video up until the point i have played, but i am having a blast in this game. Its real fun. And the art is as people have said only adding to the magic.
The game definitely seems cool, and you can appreciate the art that is pretty much.. everything, and unique things that happen in every level. But still, this is just an early glimpse! Not sure if the entire game holds out like this!
Threw me for a major loop when Srcsqwrn made a chat that Carl responded too, since I used to play games with him like 6-7 years ago. I also had a Terraria video recommended to me on RUclips made by another guy in the same gaming group a few months ago. Kinda weird how these things happen.

He's addicted to insane challenges and somehow isn't bothered by starting over. What have we done to him with all those CP0s.
I think you mean, what has GEEK done to him?
Yes to both.
He is ready for celeste Goldens
Gave him a world of infinite fun
Why be bothered by starting over when the point is to play and have fun
If it ends up being too hard, turn it into a nuzlocke. If the character dies you can no longer use it.
WAY better idea. Actually doing this for my 2nd playthrough and it's so fun
This is genius
Specially for the final levels, this will save anyone attempting a challenge run so many headaches.

Yeah, hardcore blind isn't a good idea this time. There's no way to tell if a pit is death or a secret, except by jumping into all of them.

"I know nothing about this game. So I'm going to one-life hardcore it." ~Carl, every game, every time
Terraria is truly a crazy one though. MC wr is 7minutes. Master mode hardcore all bosses terraria is like 2 hours.
imagine doing this with a huge RPG like Xenoblade Chronicles, I shudder at the thought
The lesson of this video: "Every pit is a chance for glory."
"I wouldnt want to bother a sleeping goomba thats just mean"
Hard cut to literally 30 seconds later
Massacres all 4 of them with newfound elephant 'powers'

@@psychopiper8224 exactly how Mario should be.
This was especially true for the “search party” levels… hidden block spam…
it literally felt like they programmed in bespoke functions that acted like certain mario maker contraptions. that piranha plant segment in the 2nd level felt very much like an autoscroller music level
Specifically, it looks like a bunch of levels made with Mario Maker Quantum, which will be released on the Nintendo Quantum in the mid 2140s
If they make a Mario Maker 3 this has to be added. The amount of trolling and trolling magic is going to be infinite belly busting laughs.
bowser took drugs and blamed it on the flower people, so they got arrested. So far I understand
Some of the levels are incredibly trippy so it makes sense
"this pipe can't hold us!" was genuinely the most terrifying moment in the early game the first time
I can't tell you how many times I was cruising through a level the first time, and the flowers hinting at the end of the level coming preventing me from missing the top of the flagpole. The use of the talking flowers for quick bits of relevant information is incredible design.
Bowser stops kidnapping Peach and becomes something much worse. He becomes Home Owner Association, HOA.
If someone makes a romhack of this. The flowers need to say "feed me Seymour" and I would play the shit out of it.
no way! you left us with such a cliffhanger ending lol
This one feels loved and not just a product to sell. It has a special whimsy that reminds me of playing Super Mario World as a kid for the first time.
Truly the best 2D Mario game in a long time.
the only 2D Mario in a long time
Unless I'm missing something this is the first new main line 2D Mario game in over 10 years
@@sinom No, yeah, that was the point lmao.
@@Endir.Lmao, it's been so long, they forgot how to have lives go above 99 even if you bought more than that. Crown Crown Crown in that one 2d game was great.
Is it really a 2d mario game when you can transition pipes and go into the background or foreground though 🤔
I’m so glad to finally see someone else who appreciated the line “Aw yeah, my dad’s a castle now” as much as I did
That second Level, Wonder Seed making the Piranha Plants sing is so amazing, i cant explain it. Its just… It reminds me so much of Loco Roco and there is just something that makes my Retro Feelings activate which i love.
The whole game feels like the devs just had fun making it. That level was perfection. 10/10 would replay
I 100% ran the game and can say this is the most satisfied with a Mario game i've been in a while. I just wish they had something like the B-sides in Celeste for some endgame goodness

Theres no star world?

Is it any higher than a normal jump?

Carl really can’t see…
Wow a game that teaches you about the consequences of drug abuse. Didnt expect that
Apparently Nintendo wanted to confirm that yes, the mushrooms in Super Mario are hallucinogenic.
what happened to part 2 of this?
Carl is such an adorable dork. Never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Keep up the good work, both in science and in streams!
3:23 Mario Maker has ruined our concept of pipes
Mario Maker has ruined our concept of Mario
The "Piranha plants on Parade" level is so awesome. It's my youngest daughter's favourite part of the game, so much that she plays it over and over 🤣🤣🤣
Even though it's only been a few days it's good to have you back! Always happy to see a new Carl video!
Technically Andy video, but you get it :P
lmao you really ended it on a cliffhanger like that
There is no one I would rather watch play this game. Carl’s wholesomeness is so refreshing. Love your content. Keep it up.
22:33 you're welcome
Great editing bro. This 2D mario honestly looks like something from Rayman lol. Loving it
every pit is a chance for glory

Does anyone else find it weird to hear actual VOICES in a Mario Bros. game?
No, it's been happening for 27 years.

100% seems fun though, especially for those of us who want to enjoy this game vicariously through you 😊
i cant wait till christmas so i can play this on my kids switch!!!
LOL. looks amazing!
Ending the video like that is criminal
...part 2? Where is it? Why is it gone?
Prediction: he gon' die
For anyone wondering where he left off , it's at 1:58:30 on his second most recent vod on Twitch.
That cliffhanger got me
i cant wait to see carl steal from ruins again
man I'm excited for all the mario wonder mods
Wow composer really stepped up his game in that music level 😉
massive cliffhanger
THAT CLIFFHANGER >:(
Guess I have to watch the next one too.... (I was gonna anyway :D)
Ummm little big planet vibes anyone??
OMG the charging bull/dinosaur thing looks so cute when he's stunned! I want one!
I swear someone proposed this idea to nintendo like a decade ago and they were probably like "That's stupid." This is such a huge change for nintendo, and I think it's a change for the better.
Congrats on being the only person to get me to watch Mario Wonder content!
*starts watching the video and gets to the singing piranha plants* ... I'm not high enough for this yet... XD
"Tune in NEXT week. Same bat time, same bat channel."
So, is this new Mario game just a drug-trip?!
...what do you mean "always has been"?
...okay, I kinda see that actually.
I'll need to save this video for after playing through the game myself.
I looked away on that pipe and then looked back and I was there, I was searching for that seed for so long and accidentally found it
I swear with Carl being blind to what's right in front of him lol
The best super mario wonder run so far!
They hit a home run with this beautiful colors
Missed opportunity, when getting shrunken all the characters should revert back to their baby selves.
Somebody at Nintendo: "You know how we have mushrooms in the game? Well, how come we never have the characters go through 'vision' trips?"
Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy... 2
It's quite ironic that in the world of mushrooms, it's the flowers that get you high
8:08 Best part of the video, not for the game but for Carl's reaction xD
The talking flowers are so stupid I love it
One thing that's kind of funny about his first death, is he totally could have gotten out of that pit with the badge he had selected lmao, obviously he didn't know that because it was his first playthrough but I thought it was a little funny
Hey Carl, you missed the first big soloist singer on the piranha plant level both times because you were covering his exit pipe at 8:39 and 23:09.
This game is just "What if Mario was in a Kirby game?"
Im only gona keep watching this video up until the point i have played, but i am having a blast in this game. Its real fun. And the art is as people have said only adding to the magic.
CAAAAAAAAAARL! You’ll pay for this!
(They ended the video on a cliffhanger, just so you know.)
8:55 fun fact.
If you listen carefully you can hear that the piranha plants sing 'Piranha' and 'Piranha Plant'
So Basically they're pokemon now 😂
We need a Maker for this. The troll potential of the Hoppos is unreal.
I want a mario maker with all the mechanics so bad.
Mario Wonder is the newest dead horse to beat.
Ha.
The game definitely seems cool, and you can appreciate the art that is pretty much.. everything, and unique things that happen in every level. But still, this is just an early glimpse! Not sure if the entire game holds out like this!
23:30 they're not just properly lip synched, if you kill them all the singing stops until more spawn!
"Do you or do you not have GUTS!" you tell him twitch chat!
Nah what a wacky ending
Don't do that to us
100% hardcore blind is going to be *exciting* for the 5-star difficulty levels.
Super Mario LSD
This game will make you feel like youre on drugs.
Playing this game on drugs will definitely trip you out if you never seen the trailer.
Oh my god this game looks amazing!
5 out of 5 singing Piranha Plants
those hardcore playthroughs have truly taken a toll on him 😔
8:06 I’m literally here for this 😂
BRO i thought that was a fake ending to the video because that's actually the right path LMAO
For those asking where part 2 is, I asked him and he said he finished the game off stream
What a sick bastard
awwwww that edit is cruel, but a good cliffhanger.
4:18 There is a splice, run us invalid 🤖
The 5 star levels are going to be the cause of so many start overs.
