This style may feel different from the other analysis videos and that's because most of what you see here was unscripted as I was looking over the map of each level! I made some mistakes while talking, but those got edited out obviously. I've been wanting to get better at on the spot analysis like these so that there isn't as long of a gap between videos :)
Also there isn't a hidden blue shell in 1-Tower, I accidentally made it look like that cuz I didn't show the power-up in the inventory beforehand.
Ok that's absolutely incredible!
The way you narrated was so consistent and convincing, it's not the type of thing I would expect from an unscripted narration. Awesome work!
I would not have expected such a thorough look at the game to be unscripted, god damn
Cool
I really enjoyed this video! Great work! Especially cos this wasn’t scripted! You should Do world 2 next! Or maybe move to another NSMB game?
You can keep doing it this way because I honestly barely noticed a difference (other than you sounded more excited than usual, probably because you were reacting on the spot as you were making it up lol). Great work.
The warp zones in the original SMB weren't intended for speedrunning, they were meant for people who already played the game to be able to return to a point that challenges them since saving games didn't exist.
And you know this, how?
@@beta511ee4 common sense, speedrunning wasn't really a thing when SMB came out
@@beta511ee4 also I like your pfp
@@jodieburton1827 It's not common sense, because SMB1 invented speedrunning on purpose with the run button.
@@jodieburton1827 speedrunning in the modern sense wasn't really a thing until doom made it possible to easily share gameplay recordings, but plenty of games released in the 80s incentivized players to beat them as quickly as possible - outside the obvious racing games, metroid is a great example of this
16:47 "with a 1-up as a reward" *one up falls down pit *
ah yes, a classic move
Kinda feel like a missed opportunity to not talk about the hidden blocks in the stair case at the end of world 1-1 if you only destroyed part of it with the mega mushroom, so you don't get soft locked but also tells you about hidden blocks.
Will be brought up in the sequel!
@The YDKJ Saga This too, but it's fair to say it should've been here as well
Stairy lives on in spirit!
theres something special to note about the hidden exit in the tower too. did you notice that the path that actually leads to the secret exit has the platform move differently then all the other blocks in that room? the fact its the only one moving oddly hints that theres something special in that spot.
Your pfp makes me paranoid
Very Nice pfp.
ponies are honestly very fucking cute
Your pfp is my ptsd
@@JulianR2JG why? it's a pfp that actually makes sense, unlike your one and literally everyone else's on youtube.
You mention the Mega mushroom in the first stage. And tho I agree with your point, it also does a form of teaching. If you take it, you'll notice that you don't have all the collectables. So it teaches that the direct path won't get you everything and that depending on your power up state, you can't get everything, as if you comeback and get it and try a pipe, you can't use them when mega. Which in turn is also taught that if you smash through the pipes you can't use them later.
Also, its a great way to intise new players to stick around. Turning godmode for a while and keeping the shroom under lock and key afterwards makes you wanna save them as long as possible, as you dont know when you'll get another, and toad houses dissapear after using them unless you 100% the game.
also to mention that the slabs in 1-castle that are covered with spikes actually helps you a bit because if you get squished you will first take damage and not instantly die. and when you get smaller from taking damage it's easier to avoid the slabs.
Very glad to see a Zikedown on NSMB. I think this game is genuinely up there with the classic but sadly people don't appreciate it as much due to the "New Super" branding being milked.
Out of all the games in the New series, this is probably the one I want to play the most...
...and maybe NSMB2 as well. The fully 3D sprites on a purely 2D plane never did much for me, honestly. With the DS and 3DS games, the pixels honestly make them look better in that department, at least to me.
I think the Wii one is way better. The DS one is honestly really mediocre.
Well, that's a game design lesson in itself-don't oversaturate your brand.
@@notthephonz you said it brother 🙏
@@master106 the wii one has empty level design and is only fun in multiplayer
This game was one of my first few games ever, and my first ever 2D platformer. It's so fun to watch this, because it takes me back to when I was an eight year old kid playing this on my DS having absolutely no idea what a platformer was, figuring out what I was doing as I was playing through the game. This video practically explains the thought processes I had subconsciously in those childhood gaming sessions.
Oh, and not to forget, this video showed me tons of secret areas I never found as a kid. I wasn't looking for secret areas and trying to get all star coins, because with that little experience in video games at all (my only other games pretty much just being stuff like Mario Kart or Mario Party), I genuinely didn't even think of secrets as a possibility. I know it sounds mad, but like, I barely knew how video games 'worked' at the time, so of course I wouldn't think of it in more depth. I had the same with cutting corners as a shortcut in Mario Kart for example, I'd always just follow the course even if I had a mushroom. So weird to look back on a time where that wasn't practically etched into my system.
This video made me realize how much I've been missing out on in New-Soup-DS. There's more to explore in familiar levels. World 1-2 was what got me to learn about the Blue Shell, while 1-3 for Red Coins.
Something else about the secret warp pipe thing in 1-Tower: the concrete block under it is moving half as fast as the others, encouraging players to investigate it.
I honestly love the spontaneousness and joy-inducing energy this unscripted video has! I would love to see more videos like this!
At this point, it's starting to feel like he's doing anything BUT Identifying Luck: Mario Party 6.
What I love about this channel is that there’s a nice mix of consistent videos as well as entirely different styles of videos. Keep up the amazing work Zike!
The music in this game is just....iconic
The first level’s theme is probably the fourth most iconic song next to the main theme of SMB1,cave theme,and the Super Mario World theme
I KNEW finishing your analysis of Mario 1 sooner or later was a good idea, because seeing so much appreciation and love to me and everyone from my generation’s first video game ever. Of course the double Z here being the one analyzing only makes it better.
Absolutely great game brought down a bit by its successors. Glad it’s getting some attention!
I'm very excited for this series and to hear what you think of NSMB 2 on 3Ds as it is massively over looked, along with just your reviews being amazing to listen to.
That off-screen pipe in 1-Castle makes me believe that Nintendo removed vertical scrolling for the level later in development and simply forgot about it. Otherwise I don't think it would have passed production.
Maybe they thought the lava bubble would make the pkayer jump and see the pipe. But players know how to jump, not high jump.
This man really recorded this in 4:3 just to make it look right. Props
Ah love the detailed breakdown of a game content. It tickles the wiki loving part of my brain.
Your commentary on my favorite 2D Mario game really warms my heart, reminds me of the times I spent replaying this game and your talk on how the game is trying to teach you through pure level design just gives me a feeling of content, almost like you're complimenting it as you go along. If it's coming or not, a design commentary on the whole game similar to this video sounds awesome!
Zoomzike videos are the only reason I’ve been getting my art assignments done this month, glad to see a new series to the roster
Man I love seeing this vids that give me a different look at levels I loved as a kid and THOUGHT I inspected but like I DONT REMEMBER HALF OF THIS STUFF
I plan on sticking around for all this beautiful content
Also the improv like on the spot analysis style really works! I'm sure you'll only tweak it and refine it more to your liking but yeah this is already fantastic!
I'm excited for this one! Loved your level review video about the NES Super Mario Bros. This is gonna be just as great!
Oh!! I really liked this video, it felt fun and fresh? Like I was listening to someone explain it all to me for the first time. Definitely will be looking forward to visiting world two with you :)
This was my first Mario game and the first game I tried to 100% back as a kid. Looking forward to this video and a trip down memory lane!
You're such a great youtuber that you managed to make me watch a 30 minute video about a game I never had any interest in playing. Good job! :D
So glad I stumbled upon these videos, I absolutely adore this kind of level design breakdown stuff, specially when it's about a game I love
I have to say, I'm glad that you're making a separate video for each world instead of trying to fit everything into 1 video, it makes room for more nuanced discussion, which is something sorely needed when it comes to the NSMB series
Can we all agree this is OBJECTIVELY the BEST video game anyone can start their life with? It wasn’t mine for obvious reasons, but my family and younger friends definitely seem to recall this being their first video game ever, and it was my first on the DS specifically, no wonder it sold the best of any title on it, it’s a perfect starter for anyone getting into gaming young or old.
Yes
It was mine. Love it.
@@fiammaorsmth9840 w
This channels gotten real juicy keep it up bro, keep it up
these videos of yours, going through every level piece by piece for different games is a really great format
Let's go ! Exactly what I was waiting for
I really like when you do these and I enjoy your channel. I hope you and yours are well.
This is my favorite game in the series BY FAR, and I love hearing someone talk about it this in-depth
Also 4:3 aspect videos are beautiful 😍
Never played any mario game before because I don't feel like this gameplay is my thing, but you explain things in such an interesting way, that even a game series that I know nothing of sounds entertaining! There's just something about this excitement in your voice that makes it fun to watch.
When I first saw that Bowser death scene as a kid, that freaked me out and Mario acting casual about it left me pondering what I just witnessed.
Then I wondered if Bowser was perma dead.
Pretty good series! Great job breaking down those levels!
I think it was actually an alright decision to put the mega mushroom in the very first level.
The mega mushroom teaches you, in the most blunt way possible, that power-ups can be very helpful-- but that you'll need to find them first. It's the game's way of rewarding you for going out of your way to hit blocks that could have items in them, and it encourages you to hit more blocks. This may seem small, but to 4 year old me playing NSMB as his very first Mario game, it was pretty important. Without it, I might've spent a few levels or even a world or two without fully realizing the importance of items.
I to this day wonder why 1-5 and 1-A were not switched. Paying 5 star coins to play what is 1-5 would be so much nicer and rewarding. 1-A is my least favorite level in the game and I agree with you in that I don’t like water levels in this game (well minus 8-3 which I think is kind of cool).
the ideal of water levels in mario is that they are easer and strate forward.
Really like this format!
This is genuinely a good analysis of W1, looking forward to see the rest of the game!
I loved this game still do as it is my favorite mario game. The level design, the music, the pixels. Just perfect, kiss from the chef.
I can safely say that I didn't know how to get the third star coin in the castle until well after I beat the game and began looking for star coins for completion. Great video!
Good job again man!
I found the secret exit on my first playthrough when I was 5. I noticed the two-block tall gap and went through. Since I got lucky and hadn't lost the blue shell I got from a flying red block, I swooshed through and happily broke the blocks. I was shocked to find that I had then reached World 5, so I excitedly showed my dad.
this is gonna be a cool series this is my favorite new super mario bros game i just played it again a few months ago
Man, I love this game. Nice to see another video on it!
Wow, that’s cool! I learned that you can explore more places in the first world.
Let's name these levels because why not
World 1: Friendly Fields
1-1: Jumping on to a New Adventure
1-2: Down The Pipe
1-3: Mushy Jumping
1-Tower: Slab Slam Tower
1-4: Uphill Course
1-5: Bounce-Shrooms Challenge
1-Castle: First Fortress
1-A: Sweet Swim
One thing I noticed is that in the big crushing platform section of 1-castle, one of the safe areas that you’re guaranteed to reach at the end of a cycle had a multi-hit block. Since the player is trapped, they are essentially forced to see the interaction with this block and have time to explore hitting it multiple times waiting for the blocks to rise again. Another cool learning moment enforced solely by level design
Love that you are also looking at this masterpiece! I've always loved this game, It clear it had alot of love put on the game.
It really felt really original, fresh, and easy to control and master.
One thing I liked this game over the others is the bosses are really original as instead of just the lame overused Koopalings we had Petey Piranha from Mario Sunshine which i really liked.
Also the Mutiplayer this game offered was amazing and really impressive. You got an amazing, thrilling, and balanced 1v1 via Mario Vs Luigi. Love how you can't kill each other via jumping/fireball as it only knocks Luigi/Mario slightly back but you could get creative and knock them down to a pit to lose a life. The other ways to actually kill the other player was Mega Mushroom, Blue Shell, and Star but those power-up are more rare in the way as it most likely appears to the losing player. But if the starts to "camp" you could just race to collect the stars around the map/level and win. Also the map selection was nice with a easy map progressing to harder ones.
But thats one, we also got the mini-games in which honestly could be an entire game on it's own as it the amount of mutiplayer value and just content is amazing. It has everything: action mini-games, puzzle mini games, and actual cards mini-game like freaking poker!
Really hope one day this game gets a remaster on better hardware like Bowser's inside story.
It's lame that they milked it with successors and then just straight up stopped making 2d games going "make it yourself"
I’m actually replaying this game right now. Very excited for worlds 2 through 8!
Haven’t even finished watching the video, but this honestly gave me a new found appreciation for the game. Prior, I had like no respect for it, just saw it as some dumb Mario game, possibly because by the time I played it, I had so much experience with Mario that I already knew all the tricks and was instead just trying to 100% the game as fast as possible and going for crazy tricks, not really appreciating anything else. This video showed the game in a new light, from the eyes of someone who has never played Mario before or even video games as a whole. It honestly feels like a playground, just something to explore, experiment, and have fun in, like Super Mario 64. And from a game designers perspective, it’s absolutely fascinating and completely eye opening. Thanks for showing this complete other side of New Super Mario Bros. and teaching something new about game design as a whole. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the series!
I had NO idea you could get the 3rd star coin in 1-4 like that. Now I can say your video taught me something new!
It feels weird to think that ALL of this quickly got processed in my mind when I was like 6-7 when I was playing this as my first Mario game. God this brings back nostalgia
This makes me appreciate the level design philosophy of this first NSMB entry more. It's kinda different in the later three games.
This explains why I preferred that one over the sequels.
I played this game so much as a kid and I never knew about the little hidden mega mushroom room in the second level??? Shows how well secrets can be hidden that even though I have 100% this game and played through it more times than I'd like to admit during long car rides there are still things to find!
New series let's goooo!!
I LOVE THE DESIGN ON THE DOORS TOO FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE
Omg I'm so excited for this, I played this game so much when I was kid. Plus being unscripted I didn't notice until you mentioned it!
This has got to be one of my favorite 2d super mario games, people that I know normally sleep on this one because "it was on a handheld" seriously its such a classic now for being "new" ;) glad people are finally giving it the recognition it deserves
trust me mario saying "that'sa so nice!" means he's an empath guys c'mon
I didn't know there was a Blue Shell in a hidden block in the Tower secret exit room, that makes so much sense now. This game's design is top quality Nintendo, you love to see it.
29:35 love the smash reference lmao
I really want to see you cover all the other worlds and give lessons on how certain level mechanics work. It’s very fascinating seeing in depth vids on my favourite Mario game NSMB1!
thanks to this video, I learnt there was a hidden block in 1-1
EDIT: Actually I didn't know most of this stuff existed
Please tell me you're going to cover all the worlds like that, this was awesome!
I'm sooo glad to see a new zikeywikey video
The shark level was probably an autoscroller because of how the sharks are meant to spawn.
I've noticed this while making Mario Maker levels. It's much easier to make enemies appear in a specific way if the level scrolls automatically.
If it doesn't, it's very likely that the player will spawn a bunch of things in a pace that messes up the flow of the stage. They might go right for a bit, just enough to spawn the next sharks, but then they might go back again, and by the time the sharks swim by, they're not in the intended place anymore.
But when everything always appears in the same place, you can carefully construct a very specific challenge the player is meant to overcome.
8:33 this video unlocked a memory of me getting absolutely spooked at the music for the tower levels. The music was so eerie, especially through the speakers of my DS. The dry bones moved so abnormally and that combo made me shit myself as a kid.
Would love to see you analyze the other worlds in this game! Enjoyed the video!
Born in 03, Grew up with this game. That cannon secret was the pipeline drug my brain needed to become a true super player. I’m constantly checking for secrets always nowadays.
Found out from a RUclipsr named King of Skill that when playing Sneak and Snore that there is a way to have an idea of when the Chain Chomp has a possibility of waking up. If you look at the bubble when it’s sleeping, it will only pop when it is as big as it can be. Stopping for a second each time could be a good strategy to be able to win it more consistently.
New Super Mario Bros. is one of my favorite games. One time I played through the whole game start to finish in a road trip.
Yay I love analysis!
can we talk about how Nintendo never brought back the masterpiece that is the Ds Castle music in a mainline mario game? 😭 it's my favorite.
The best thing in this game is the pure terror in telling your opponent you got the mega on the pipe stage in the vs mode
Unrelated but the 4:3 aspect ratio makes this feel really nostalgic and I really love it :)
Yo. I just realized that you have exactly 99 videos. The next video you post will be your 100th. It better be awesome
Yoshi game veterans (such as me, who was in Yoshi's Story's target demographic when it came out, and played the crap out of it) might have figured out the ground pound easier, since it was Yoshi's Island on the SNES that debuted the mechanic.
Actually, Yoshi's Story might be a fun one to dissect, if you want something different. It's a game made specifically to introduce small children to games, and I enjoyed it very much when I was one myself. I honestly also think it works really well for older audiences as a leisurely, low-stress game.
The tutorial world in this game is so good. Way better than most tutorials Nintendo makes
this series is surprisingly really entertaining, I think it would be neat to maybe see you do a similar style series but for Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island.

I've had this game since I was born, I just now learned of that hidden block, Wow
This game is my childhood. I remember watching my sister play this gem as a kid :')
7:41 Careful, your inner Sonic fan is showing.
Fans: Identifying luck 6!
ZoomZ: Here's identifying `New` Mario level design!
22:04 No cap, as a kid this KILLED me a few times. Once resulting in a Game-Over.
I had a temper tantrum so bad that my mom took my DS for the day.
This game is practically perfection
The "New" in New Super Mario Bros is a descriptor. It like the "Kart" in Mario Kart and the "Party" in Mario Party. It tells you what series you're playing.
And then even the "Super" in the first Mario Kart was only used for the first game.
@@ikagura "Super" Mario Party, anyone?
7:41 used to sonic, eh? Nice video!
ZoomZike! The level design guy!
Zoomzike's reputation boosted
“With the ring trails...” lol, nice way to let everyone know that you’re a true Sonic fan 🤔🤣
A video i would love to watch is identifying luck for wii party i have been watching quite a bit of Poofesure who has been playing that game for years however it always seems like the AI are able to boomerang up to the players position and am quite curious if there are any RNG shenanigans there
also keep up the amazing work you're doing on you're videos!
The first new super Mario Bros is my favorite and one of the first games I’ve ever played
I can already see it, you about to have a heart attack when explaining how some bosses can be fought as mini, to access the other worlds...
Those kind of secrets like the one in the Castle used to be so common, I always hated secrets that are just too hiden, normally going against stablished rules or that make you bump into every single pixel to find them, literally just to make you buy official guides.
I'm glad the internet solved this since its common for people to upload guides, that made this kind of stuff go away since most developers won't make this kind of bad level/secret design stuff, at least not on porpoise to sell you a guide.
It’s been over ten years since I first got this game, I’ve played it multiple times, and I had NO idea about the 1-tower secret exit… blew my mind. Guess it just goes to show how well-made this game is, since I’m still discovering secrets as an adult lol
