Fully agree. Like the cartoons do, You use a spool of paper (mario levels) that simply spin to move mario. Im sure you can be creative and make a marking system on the paper that a LED and sensor can read to indicate where walls are, so it will stop unless mario jumps..
If just moving the platform then the "game" cannot "force" the player to move/walk along with the game/mario. And Mario will then just stay almost in the same place physically (more or less, he can move a bit forward and backward ).
except the screen doesn't scroll left in super mario bros. and remember Donkey Kong? it had a still background. it never moved. in fact, that's actually how a lot of games were back then.
All these people seem not to be grasping the true beauty of Moving Mario.
Of course there is no point in playing this game, and the explanation may be a little too long (perhaps even humorous).
It is obviously not meant to be 'played', it is more like a piece of art (even if accidental), and one of the greatest I've ever seen! Congratulations!
I don't want to be rude, but what is up with the negative comment ratings that say what this really is? Good work, you have nice mechanical skills I'll give you that.
But the reasons why an actual game will always be better than this are virtually infinite. Good looking, but try something different next time you build. How long did that take to make, anyway?
Pretty cool idea, but have you actually even PLAYED mario!? @_@
Really weird that you spend so long explaining how the character stays still and the background moves, when this isn't how Super Mario Bros actually plays AT ALL!!! He can move independently of the scrolling, plus can't actually move the screen left once it's scrolled right.
You spent 3 minutes describing how it moved, which I understood after 10 seconds. However, you blaze through all the interesting stuff (making of) without explaining anything. Thanks a lot.
Nice concept, miserable attempt. Now that you've wasted your talent on something useless, now try doing something with a point, like researching Western and Eastern medicine for years until you have a solution to the AIDS epidemic.
to 4dville: what a dumb ass comment... do researchers who combat viral epidemics create circuits with microcontrollers and steppers? i can't even see how you derived your comment. its like asking a plumber to figure out a solution to side-effects of genetically modified corn..
He studied that shit and made a Mario game. He could've spent his time studying viral epidemics or ozone depletion or alternative fuel sources instead. He could've still studied electronics and made a cardiogram machine or something. Something USEFUL.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
All that trouble to make some crappy version of mario where you have to shuffle along just to see what you're doing? There's a reason that the game's physics only allow for the platform to move and not Mario: that way you don't have to do what's displayed in this video.
I don't think this is true. If it were, Mario would always be in the middle of the screen, but sometimes he goes to the left of the screen or to the right of the screen
You're only a couple of decades behind... and still wrong about some things. Ex: When the character is on the left-hand or right-hand extremes, the platform doesn't move. Instead the character does.
Platform movement vs character movement is a matter of perspective to the viewer. The game itself is performing a combination of both.
In Mario Bros. 1, the platform only moves to the left. Any time you move Mario to the left, the platform does NOT move.
i think he explaind that the left button makes the screen go right and right button makes screen go left a bit to much. we know wat the buttons do im sure weve all played every mario game a trillion times over alredy lol
Great video...but for the love of GOD...stop explaining the same thing over and over again. YES. We KNOW the A-Button is for JUMP! The TV SCROLLS! We get it!
The point was to physicalise the player's movement, not the game's virtual movement. Its meant to make you think about your relationship with the game.
....................wow i have no real words to discribe it sept wow and maybe "IF YOU WANT TO PLAY MARIO GET AN NES!!! THAT MIGHT HELP!"........... but WOW it is sorta cool i think! =?
this is the largest piece of shit i have ever seen. instead of moving a digital platform you move a piece of paper with a picture of mario printed on it. wow,fucking amazing. what a clunky and worthless piece of crap.
This was a VERY interesting concept! I don't understand why poeple think this is stupid;I think they just don't understand it.People who are interested in the video game industry should really take note from this! 5/5 I loved it.^^
Also,there's a reason why this vid is called "Moving Mario" because the concept is that the game "Super Mario Bros." is NOT moving Mario but instead,moving the background! This person built a mechanism to show the actual game as you're MOVING MARIO and NOT the background.Since Mario HAS to stay in the middle(since it's a side-scroller),the whole t.v has to move! This is the concept of a side-scrolling game. Something that people tend to over-look.
1) Mario doesn't stay in the middle, and sidescrollers move when you've moved past the middle by a certain distance
2) Mario Bros. 1 doesn't allow you to move left (the background will only scroll left, not right). So even if this was done in 1980 it would still be wrong.
He wasn't trying to actually reenact the actual game. He was showing the concept of a side-scroller in another point of view. And the side-scroller moves to the right once the player is in the middle. People like you think that he's trying to re-invent the game or something,saying crap like "playing that would be boring". That's not his goal in mind.
Idea stupid. Intelligence required to put the idea into action: more than average. Sorry, I just don't see the point in this... It's nothing but paper being moved across paper... Just really stupid.
Keep crackin' on it, and fix that business about SMB scrolling to the left. The art world might not know that you're cutting corners there, but deep in your heart, you know and it keeps you awake at night.
so...is the idea of advancing virtual reality the goal of making it so real it will look no different than reality thereby encouraging basement game addicts into reality? lol, just kidding. except you dont get infinite lives in reality lol so cant be a dumbass.
good job! looks like it took a long time to build, i wonder what took longer, the construction of this replica of world 1-1 or the actual original programming of world 1-1 for the NES?
its a good idea, but you could see the things infront, and there isn't any body to kill, plus the brick movement is way to slow. get a plastic cover, add a bigger cog to the brick mechanism, and insert the mushroom guys, put them to a convare belt, thats about it, good job!!!
Nice work, and great idea!
