[How About No]

hmmm, not sure what you're talking about bro... You mean the Special World? That was pretty well known and discussed by friends... the Top Secret Area tho (where I added the arrow), I only found that years later, it blew my mind.

Heh we have the opposite experience then! I've used the secret area to grind 1ups since I was a literal babby, but only learned about Special World a couple years ago. Before that I thought Star World was just a way to unlock shortcuts through the overworld only. My dad had his fucking mind blown when I showed him and it was like we were playing a new (and frustrating) game!

 

[Cyrus_Saren]

What the hell! Never knew this and I've played a lot of Super Mario World.

Dude! Mind blown.

 

[Masterspeed]

I thought pretty much every none boss/fire enemy was killed instantly via sliding down a hill or stairs.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Oh.... "Boos"....

 

[Yukinari]

This is like when people realized you could use mario's crawl in mario 64 to go up steep inclines.

Also you know what blows, you can spin jump off buzz saws in mario world but not in mario maker. Whats up with that shit?

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

My thoughts before entering this thead: "Boos in an audience? No problem! Cue audio track and slide down stairs."

lol

 

[Berserking Guts]

Huh, I never knew that. After all, what crazy bastard would slide into a Big Boo??

Edit:
Did anyone know that you can sneak past Lickers in RE2 by repeatedly tapping the d-pad instead of holding it? I've been holding onto that secret since '98!

 

[raidenandsolid]

All of those wasted movements and action! Oh the regrets.

 

[The Real Abed]

I'm shocked at how many people never discovered this back in the day.

I mean it is a pretty rare thing though. I never even lead that big Boo to the stairs anyway because there's no reason to. But I've done it.

 

[golduck342]

Pretty sure I've seen this done, but have no proof

 

[specdot]

Lmao at the people who say that they knew this. Y'all a bunch of liars.

 

[Brazil]

WHAT

THE

FUCK

Thought this was known.

I can't remember how I discovered it, but I always used it.

Discoverable if you flew everywhere.

 

[Sapiens]

 

[Professor Beef]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost certain it's mentioned in Mario Mania.

It is, that's where I learned nearly everything that is revealed as "mindblowing" to people nowadays re: SMW

Lmao at the people who say that they knew this. Y'all a bunch of liars.

Read the strategy guide, bro. This info is decades old.

 

[BiggNife]

Super Mario World is my favorite game and I never knew this what the fuck

 

[breadtruck]

Hmm, who woulda thunk that would have worked. Crazy

 

[The Real Abed]

This is like when people realized you could use mario's crawl in mario 64 to go up steep inclines.

You mean like that one in the first level with the red coin on it? You can just keep running full speed and eventually will get it without having to go all the way around the mountain.

Lmao at the people who say that they knew this. Y'all a bunch of liars.

Nope. Some of us actually liked to experiment back then.

 

[inky]

Well, shit man.

Phoenix

DOWN

When I heard that on the Bombcast years ago it blew my mind.

 

[FallingEdge]

Knew about this back then. I thought more knew about it.

 

[Mentok]

And Big Bubbles too.

Witchcraft!! I didn't know this! I accidentally figured out the boos though.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

Well then. Played this game like crazy (and still do, it's my favorite Mario game) and never knew or even would have thought that.

EDIT: And the green bubbles too! Either way, it's not terribly useful in any case.

 

[Icebergslim]

ITT gaffers discover they are a bunch of n00bs who don't play good.

Bro, if it wasn't in Nintendo Power I didn't know about that shit.

 

[///PATRIOT]

Came for the big boobs, stayed for the Big boo slide down kill.

Or we're better speed runners than you could ever hope to be.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

And there's more.

You can do this in Forest Fortress (and other places? not sure).

 

[Rebel Leader]

Why read something that tells me how to beat it?

There's no fun in that

Now that I did know about. It does happen racing through a fortress the umpteenth time.

[13ruce]

Did you read it as Big Boss too?

I did i thought well a new method of killing Big Boss in the MSX games has been found.

Anyway pretty cool did not know this yet.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Mario Broth is cited as the source, but I'm not so certain about that.

Now this one does get to me. Holy shit

 

[jjasso21]

Can't say I ever tried this. But then again, I had no idea you could slide down stairs either.

 

[Oblivion]

Holy shit, WHAT.

I thought those stupid things were immortal. This changes EVERYTHING.

 

[Esque7]

I need to lie down after this thread.

"Playing Donkey Kong Country Returns, one might notice that although the environments are in 3D, whenever DK and Diddy would pass through a platform, they appear to be floating in front of it instead. This is because DK and Diddy are not 3D objects in the environment, but 2D renders of 3D models that act as sprites. Zooming in, we can see the pixelation of the images. "


HO
LY
FUCK

Wait, is this real? They looked fine when I was trying it out in a ridiculous resolution in dolphin

 

[names2hard4you]

What the heck

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

Haven't played SMW but I can relate in stuff I've never known for years.

Case in point, from Flying Battery in Sonic 3:

WHAT.

*DKCR trivia*

HO
LY
FUCK

So they're not 3D models, they're actually 2D pre-rendered sprites.

Just like in Rare's original DKC trilogy.

I....just.....

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Which mario is this?
