That was so perfect. It had that "oh, this is how you avoid the troll, I'm so smart" instinctive spot it presented to you, and just when you get there you realize what you've done. And in that moment of realization, you are feeshed. 🤣
I'm pretty sure it's his way of vocalizing his rationalization to make sure it makes sense to himself even though rationality doesn't mean much when you're just at the mercy of a specific level creator
Decent troll level. Great job, Ryu. For future reference, "benevolent" connotes no back-to-CP1 setup involved, and is sometimes used to describe lack of anti-softlocks, both of which this level fulfilled.
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 that's an oversight, and kinda the player's fault to some degree. Anti-softlock refers to the "takes effort to die" scenario where you're shoved into an annoying minigame to kill Mario. So you can get back to the previous CP.
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 Yea, I was thinking that. I hope it was just the guy who missed or failed the actual anti-softlock mechanism (like waiting for a conveyor to drop something etc).
In most circumstances, softlocks are unintentional. That's why you see version numbers in titles or descriptions; levels are revised in attempts to eliminate softlocks. There are certain scenarios where they're intentional, but you have to be a savant of level design or you have to be very obvious in demonstrating that it's part of the storytelling of the level. So it's not prohibited, per se, but it's frowned upon to carelessly include them.
Honestly troll levels like this are some of the most fun (to watch, I've never played MM); every turn is surprising and crafty and the whole experience is like a pseudo puzzle.
The most hilarious thing is like at 10:30 when Ryu (or whoever) dodges a troll then they go into this delusional and jokey state of thinking they're the best when they're only riding the crest of the false sense of security.
I hope he makes more dedicated troll level videos in the future. Ryu is awesome and it's always been a sad thing that he wasn't interested in the most fun part of SMM2. I hope he finds the Curated Trolls website and gets hooked :D
@ryukahr I'm so glad you play troll levels. So many other people try and dissect the level at every step and make 4 hour videos. I like how you just enjoy it and go with the flow.
I like seeing you play troll levels. It's always a lot of fun because you're an amazing player but are not used to troll levels so you do some things that streamers like Carl and DGR wouldn't do and that's refreshing. Also, when you're playing a well done troll level, don't go around jumping trying to find hidden stuff because that's not that they do (except for some very specific cases and never to hide a key or something like that). You're more used to playing poorly done troll levels or just hot garbage with hidden stuff that's why your instinct to jump around kicks in. BTW this is a fantastic troll level!
The troll level community from MM2 is amazing and there are some priceless jewels among them. Now I crave and we deserve a “Carl vs. Ryu” series (there’s not if my memory serves).
Troll levels are great Ryu! Do more of them! They don’t even have to be this well designed, it’s you we come to see. Watching you battle through a terrible troll level can be just as fun as watching you enjoy a good one.
Ryu said that this level wasn't benevolent. But it didn't CP1 him and it didn't require multiple playthroughs to win. It was much more benevolent than he knows.
What a level. You should take up Carl Sagan's habit of not pause-buffering for troll levels. Obviously for endless it's different, but doing it in a troll level kind of kills the fun/tension.
Ryu doing troll levels has a different feel to it, it's definitely not his thing to do the "good trolls" usually but it's still fun to watch as always.
@@Jesse__H An antisoftlock is a dead-end room wherein the objective is to die (so that you can respawn at a checkpoint instead of having to replay the whole level). Generally they have all sorts of nonsense making this difficult to do.
Ty Ryu for all your videos. I always look forward to a new one. If you ever get burnt out on troll levels I understand. I just like watching you play, have a nice day
That level was crazy! Who thinks this stuff up? Excellent puzzle, but dang, many levels above me. And then to have the strength of will to sit there and play it! Good job! Hey, what happened to that platformer with the little square robot that could pick up different powerups like Mega-Man? Did it just die off or get unpopular all of a sudden? I thought that was going to be the next Mario.
So glad to see you back on a troll level. I know you've said before that you don't really enjoy them, but thank you for suffering for our entertainment. :)
I love when you play good troll levels, this one was really harsh, but there are many very creative you should try!! Talk with Carl Sagan, I think he will give you good suggestions!
_benevolence_, in a good troll level atleast, usually refers to things like _no back to cp1_, _no cp0_, or _no brutal, absolutely soul-crushing antisoftlock_.
For some reason I want to see your Ryu's alter-egos come and review your Troll level fails. Bring in special guests(Poo,Barb,Feeney, etc), but they have have to copy your alter-ego form. Nigel-Ryu for example.
@@shieldser9645 maybe technically more adept, but no one else can match the character of a Shieldser level. You’re like the Matisse to Defender’s Magritte.
Generally there are two types of trolls, the fun/creative and the brutal/tiring. Would like to see more of the fun ones, but avoid the brutal ones, especially avoid anything marked with a #DGR like the plage, as they tend to suck out your soul like the devil!
Ok @ryukahr, it's time for you to experience my two favorite troll levels ever created by the community. These levels will have you laughing, crying and questioning your own existence. One even has one soft lock in it. Good luck. 1. Troll Ja Vu by Symp (Symplectic) 6TV-KCT-XFG 2. Carl's Trash Can by Shano19: TL0 - 6DM - GYF (play them in that order). Your mind will be blown. (Neither have fish in them, btw)
Troll levels are where the cutting-edge creativity is in this community. Talk to Carl, Chichiri, Geek, Defender, et. al. about sourcing extraordinary troll levels. The ones made by the masters are absolutely worth your time.
I feel like this is a perfect example what a troll level should be like. Genuinely funny stuff like when you wait for that mushroom and that crane comes out of nowhere and grabs you lmao
You're a bit out of practice with troll levels 😆I think it's time to check out some of the incredible levels that are out there now. There's some truely mind boggling stuff that's so fun and well worth a look!
1:23 Well you are definitely not playing a level by the right creator then. Shieldser is only a couple of steps above STEVO, Carl, and Bearware when it comes to high octane trolling.
After seeing Carl, geek, defender play troll levels and that's what they're known for and then seeing Ryu who's definitely precision and speedrunner do troll levels is really refreshing
I have watched almost VERY single Ryu video. I have to say troll videos like this are BY FAR my favorite to watch. His reactions always make me laugh. Quality content sir!
'Ahh, Sundays.' Ahem,, what he meant to say was; *Some* days - you find an absolutely Genius bit of level design like this! A total Masterpiece of Madness!
Yea to more troll levels. Any level of troll level is great. Either it’s fun to watch you react when you die or it’s fun to watch you cheese the poop out of the bad ones. Win-Win!
That was an amazing troll level. Expertly designed. That blue snake scenario he made was unreal
That was so perfect. It had that "oh, this is how you avoid the troll, I'm so smart" instinctive spot it presented to you, and just when you get there you realize what you've done. And in that moment of realization, you are feeshed. 🤣
Ryu got one of Shieldser's levels in his recent run, so I guess he decided to do more of his levels :D
@@LeoStep93 hopefully he makes more . Absolutely brilliant level creator.
I couldn't get over the Abduction Crane loool!!
Dunno why, but I always laugh when Ryu says "See what you wanna do is..."
because it's karma time, he literally die everytime when he say that
@@valentds Yeah,it just cracksme up.
It's one of those phrases that causes instant comedic timing, similar to "watch this!"
I'm pretty sure it's his way of vocalizing his rationalization to make sure it makes sense to himself even though rationality doesn't mean much when you're just at the mercy of a specific level creator

Anti-softlock refers to the "takes effort to die" scenario where you're shoved into an annoying minigame to kill Mario. So you can get back to the previous CP.
Or the omissions of any actual Softlocks. Or correct me if wrong or are those banned from 'Community accepted troll levels altogether even?
@@youtubenightcrawler9571 Yea, I was thinking that. I hope it was just the guy who missed or failed the actual anti-softlock mechanism (like waiting for a conveyor to drop something etc).
In most circumstances, softlocks are unintentional. That's why you see version numbers in titles or descriptions; levels are revised in attempts to eliminate softlocks. There are certain scenarios where they're intentional, but you have to be a savant of level design or you have to be very obvious in demonstrating that it's part of the storytelling of the level.

Ryu, I gotta say, you have a patience that is simply unmatched, and it is what makes your videos a true joy to watch.
In a Troll Level, Benevolent simply means it doesn't send you back to CP1, or make you recollect all the Red Coins.
That's not benevolent, that's just basic decency. Though by troll standards, I suppose it is actually pretty benevolent, now that I think about it.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 context bro. It means something within the context of troll levels
I'm here for the crazy platforming skills but tossing a troll level episode now and and then would be fresh.
I watch other creators play troll levels, but Ryu never fails to make me laugh. Combining the two is beautiful
Glad you enjoyed this one. There’s a lot of great troll creators out there, hope you play more of them.
I miss seeing ryukahr playing troll levels, I'm not complaining, I love troll levels.
I hope he makes more dedicated troll level videos in the future. Ryu is awesome and it's always been a sad thing that he wasn't interested in the most fun part of SMM2. I hope he finds the Curated Trolls website and gets hooked :D
Watching Ryu and Panga playing troll levels are fun in such a different way compared to watching Carl or DGR playing them.
I was thinking the same.
since they are not doing it regularly, they seem so innocent in the troll lore :D
i can’t watch dgr anymore. the shit he does that he thinks is him being funny is just so cringe. just got to be too much
@@nickroe11 I've been skipping dgr lately too. I now mostly watch his Uno Mas videos.
@ryukahr I'm so glad you play troll levels. So many other people try and dissect the level at every step and make 4 hour videos. I like how you just enjoy it and go with the flow.

It's really refreshing to see Ryu play trolls. An expert player totally unfamiliar with the troll meta, just getting completely bodied.
amazing level, lots of innovative stuff in it. i especially loved the mechanism that perfectly delivers your link bomb onto the key door
The troll level community from MM2 is amazing and there are some priceless jewels among them.
Now I crave and we deserve a “Carl vs. Ryu” series (there’s not if my memory serves).
Generally I hate troll levels. This one was brilliant. Genius. Extremely well designed. Props to that creator ! Fun to watch, I must admit.
👍🏻
anything but genius. There's an infinity of levels like these. They're the troll version of copypasted kaizo levels
@@PatchiKnowledge lets see you make one then loser
@@PatchiKnowledge Shieldser is one of the best troll innovators, so this is not a very fair comment.
@mak. You should check out fanchen playing rush e then if you've never seen it before 😂
Troll levels are great Ryu! Do more of them!

Ryu doing troll levels has a different feel to it, it's definitely not his thing to do the "good trolls" usually but it's still fun to watch as always.
Also yeah Shieldser is notoriously unforgiving from what I remember
I guess the benevolent is the lack of his trademark antisoftlocks and CP1s though Ryu could have just avoided them
@@PydraxAlpta correct 👍🏻
what is an antisoftlock?

There's a ton of good troll levels at this caliber out there. Definitely a fun episode and would love to see more.
That was very beautiful. Definitely keep the good troll levels coming!!!
9:31 I’ve watched a lot of troll levels, but I don’t think a troll has ever made me laugh quite like this one
Keep the troll levels coming! Very entertaining to see you go through Troll levels.
I love watching you do good troll levels like this one.
Ty Ryu for all your videos. I always look forward to a new one. If you ever get burnt out on troll levels I understand. I just like watching you play, have a nice day
Wasn't paying attention in the beginning then after clear I saw it's a shieldser level - and all makes sense now!
God how do people even make such levels.
These must takes months to craft. Simply brilliant
I swear he's trying to hit every troll possible on purpose.
私は彼がわざと可能なすべてのトロールを打とうとしていることを誓います.
I love when Ryu plays troll levels. The style is much different from Carl, Geek, Defender, and Juz.

Hurray! I love it when you do troll levels! I know you don’t like them. But you create pretty great content with them!
I really love good troll levels. I want to see more.
After watching Carl for so long seeing someone new get introduced to troll magic is hilarious lol please play some of steeeeevooooooooos levels lol
I love seeing Ryu get in on some troll level fun!
Yes!!! More troll levels with Ryu. Best day ever man
My favorite part is when Ryu starts "What you wanna do"
actually playing proper troll levels by a master maker makes you really appreciate the work behind it
That was a great troll level. I wouldn't mind you playing good trolls levels once in a while. You can get level codes from Carl Sagan :)
Generally there are two types of trolls, the fun/creative and the brutal/tiring. Would like to see more of the fun ones, but avoid the brutal ones, especially avoid anything marked with a #DGR like the plage, as they tend to suck out your soul like the devil!

A shieldser level with no crazy anti? Incredible.
Ryu should play Carl's trash can if he wants a real mindbender lmao
That would end his troll playing days before he even gets started 😂
That level was superbly put together you've just got to sit an laugh at all the imaginative ways you will be killed.
I love watching you play troll levels!
These troll level creators have such big brains 🧠
One of my favorite trolls is a single hidden block, 5:34 because the paranoia it causes. All those extra jumps here had me rolling.
Ryu and troll level, is like a kid who just learned to talk. So fun to watch.

Kaizo block: not today

Please tell me this guy has made more than the one level. This was the best troll level I've seen a long time
They have constantly been producing great levels since the beginning of smm2
I love the troll and gimmick levels, funny to watch and figure out.
Imagine getting this as the final 1000th level in a try to beat 1000 expert/super expert levels run haha.
That kaizo block 5:25 actually was funny cause it was so obvious.

Shieldser Timmy rawr and defender are amazing troll level creators,
Thank you for playing more troll levels.
7:07 Ryu is broken down so much that he's trolling himself at this point
this level is benevolent as it doesnw require insane reflexes so you usually don't fall dor same troll twice
I appreciate that he doesn’t try to soft lock you. He leaves suicide option. And when you get baited, you always see what to do after.
I love you playing troll levels! Please play more!

My favorite part of troll levels is when there are rooms with implemented self killing mechanisms for when you get troll locked lol
Wow such a well made level. fun to watch but was hard for you for sure ^^

I always love watching DGR play troll levels; it could be a great thing if you added some to your content.
