S. Mario - 2 - more pipes

[LetsPlayOnkel]

use save states man -.-

[pieisgod12345]

raocow is it possible to make it so the site isnt geting block by malwarebytes anti malware or can someone tell me how to unblock the site.

[ArktikAlice]

Mario transmutes into one-thousand donkeys?

That's pretty groovy.

[PowerXeta]

WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL DEM BOXES

[Weirdsupermilkshake]

1:20 Yugioh reference! Believe in the heart of the cards. :D Awesome

[Deliphin11]

@Weirdsupermilkshake Around 8:40 he says "Completing my magic deck here" :D

[Deliphin11]

@Deliphin11 Or something like that. lol.

[Inarabitta]

You are my new rolemodel.

[choupetto85]

where the song come from in this level ?

[AGrayPhantom]

I love the color pallette for this level.

[AlexusPius]

How come the BLACK block's gotta be the one that don't pay taxes? HMM?

[AnUntitledStory]

@AlexusPius No, they painted the normal blocks that didn't pay their taxes black.

[xZaCloudx]

Also, yet another vote for keeping the audio level like this... though of course that's your decision.

[xZaCloudx]

Seriously, I'm lovin' this hack so far! It seems to focus on reflexes, and each run is like an action movie take to get the perfect headlong-rush-scene. Or a professional runner training on an obstacle course until he can clear it. It just has juuuust enough safe spots to give some breathers to keep it from being an auto-scroll type rush.

It's unique, and really works well with this game engine as a platformer. Reactionary gameplay seems to be Raocow's strong point, and this caters to it nicely

[murraywall1]

yesterday you ended as big mario... today you started as small mario... what gives?

[endeppa]

@ 1:20 ~ Believe in the heart of the cards.

OH BOI A YUGIOH REFERENCE :D

[MountainFudgecake27]

1:15 heart of the cards FTW

[Magetat]

Yugioh and MTG in the same video... Raocow plays ALL the card games!

[FallingSnowLegends]

This game sucks. It has piranha plants coming out of blocks.

(Well, it doesn't suck, but that's annoying)

[ZaazaaTFM]

Nope, the title theme isn't alliteration. Second guess: A four letter word, followed by a five letter word.

[SuperKaizoMario]

@ZaazaaTFM Or both words end in "e" and "s"

[bensons999]

7:20 - "...probably, probablow, probafire..."

Best piece of cow in ages.

[trazac]

I keep thinking the S. stands for Super.

[InuYashafanboyee]

Ah....

raocow, when you say "ree-gister" is that you saying "register" (either "comically" or because that's how you think it should), or is it a completely different word?

Because one day it hit me that that is what you may be saying, and it's been bugging me since.

[randoguy101]

YES, SPIN JUMP INTO THE FIREBALL RAOCOW. FANTASTIC IDEA

[TheStrongBadMan]

okay, was wrong on the naming theme.

[ShamanJ]

I like the game audio at this level because normally you cant even hardly hear it.

[StarkMaximum]

Your deck's full of walls? Well that's not gonna win you many games.

Also, even if this hack is short, if the one-level-per-video theme keeps up, it's gonna be just as long as Raocow's other series. Amusing.

[TeamRAR]

Wow, this music is awesome. What's it from?

[xnamkcor]

Raocow stares death in the face. And then dies.

[1a2b3c4d5e2427]

A lot of Yugioh references in this one.

[Sjeele]

There is only one level in each video?? I Don't care, I just love to watch Mr.Raocow :)

[flamingspinach]

0:44 he's actually saying "I've prepared a continuation just for you. Am I being too much of a busybody?"

[Callipotech]

Why I get panic , too :D

[heehomaster]

A swinging velma is that like a scooby gang bang?

[TheGangstagnome]

Thus far, it seems to me that this hack is just replacing legitimate level design and difficulty with "Oh, man! These plans shoot fireballs that are REALLY FAST and that's difficult and it's hilarious, ohoho~!" Here's hoping it improves later on, because I'm not that impressed as yet.

[PureRok]

@TheGangstagnome I concur.

[xZaCloudx]

@TheGangstagnome So... what constitutes "legitimate difficulty" then? Because in my opinion, keeping the player on their toes is just that. This gives more reflex-based gameplay than most hacks, which is the epitome of a good platformer.

[TheGangstagnome]

@xZaCloudx Well, that's a difficult question to answer, but for something like a Super Mario hack, I would say more legitimate difficulty would be based more around challenging platforming segments and clever enemy placement as opposed to just increasing the speed of some fireballs. It just seems lazy to me.

[xZaCloudx]

@TheGangstagnome But the levels are built around having to dodge those fireballs. They have limited trajectory angles, yet most of them manage to be dangerous, which shows that the level was designed with them in mind. There are just enough safe-spots to keep it from being unfair, but it takes good reflexes and reaction to find them in time. You have to balance care and speed.

Just because a gameplay mechanic is simple doesn't mean it's ineffective. Platformers can be simple.

[TheGangstagnome]

@xZaCloudx I'm not saying simple is bad or anything like that. I just don't think this particular mechanic was the best choice, especially not for two levels in a row. The way raocow talked about learning levels and finding safe spots, it sounded like he was playing a Mega Man game, not a Mario game. The focus of Mario hacks, IMO, should be more on platforming and clever gimmicks instead of segments that are needlessly hard and frustrating. And we didn't need TWO fireball levels...

[spongbros]

The game audio is NOT too loud. Please have it at this level from now on!

[Redfordcrate]

Lives Lost Today: 19. Total Lives Lost: 42

I was expecting a bit more then "The same as the first level except creepier colors".

[raocow]

@Redfordcrate man I really hope you keep this death count going, I'm honestly curious to see how high it'll go!

[xnamkcor]

@raocow Do you include all deaths in the video?

[raocow]

@xnamkcor no but you can do the math with how many lives I got left at the end. let's just give a small error margin for possible 'coin-brought lives' or something.

[SomeGuy712x]

@raocow:

I think it's 20 deaths today, actually. It looked like your coin counter must've hit 100 at least once during all that (between 4:28 and 4:32 in the video). So, that would make your total deaths so far 43.

[zeldafan024]

@Redfordcrate He got a life from coins, make that 20 lives lost, and 43 total.

[Gotenks070]

@Redfordcrate Well that's being a bit blinded huh? The idea was the same as the first but they felt very different.

[SuperCopter]

@Redfordcrate It's actually 20 Deaths today.

He got a life at 4:30 from coins.

[Sawneyrath11]

Wait, do you play Magic the Gathering?

[GargusSCP]

"Mario transmutes into one thousand donkeys"

Wut.

On a related note, I'd be happy to have Raocow as my ambassador.

[choupetto85]

Satanic Mario

[SodaScarletMachine]

Only me who found the game audio to be kinda perfect? I really nice balance on the game audio and raocows voice, being able to listen to both without problem.

[CollyWogs1]

@SodaScarletMachine No I agree. One of the things I love about hacks is the cool music people put in the game, so being able to clearly hear both Mr Rao and the music was pretty perfect.

[xZaCloudx]

@SodaScarletMachine Also in total agreement here. I think this was the best balance. I always feel left out when he comments on the music, but I can only barely hear it. This would have been nice for him to keep, in my opinion.

[Fawriel]

"mawaranai kisoku"...? Oh. Hmm! I think I know what the gimmick next time's gonna be~

[NightmareStation]

I wonder: Will raocow struggle on castles but destroy the bosses (assuming they're different/exist) or have difficulty with both?

Let's take bets.

[DSUltimate]

@NightmareStation He'll probably struggle on both. I already beat the whole game and know what's coming up, and I can say that there's not one castle level in this game which is particularly 'fair'/easy.

And don't expect much from the bosses, they're barely classifiable as such.

[InsertHereBrain]

Salame Mario.

[anonymousbl00dlust]

@InsertHereBrain obscure reference ftw

[InsertHereBrain]

@anonymousbl00dlust :D

[CosmoFishhawk55]

The definite sign that I've been ruined and spoiled by youtube's lifted time restrictions- I'm disappointed whenever I see a video under 12 minutes long :(

[14nakedmen]

This is soo fun to watch thanks raocow!

[desuMaKun]

I really liked the game audio.

also loved the video!^^ Really interesting gaming learning proses going on.

[tovarischkrasnyjeshi]

Anyone else still stuck in "Oh no, don't jump in the coins, Raocow!" mode?

[Fawriel]

@tovarischkrasnyjeshi Not this video, no. ... Until I was like "WAIT RAOCOW you've gotta get the bar at the goal oh no, oh, wait"

[AWentworthP]

@tovarischkrasnyjeshi YES!

[EndymionLIV]

@tovarischkrasnyjeshi I kind of flinched to myself when he missed the tape at the end of the level, so yeah, I'm still a little ascetic in my heart.

[PowerXeta]

@tovarischkrasnyjeshi no, 'cuz i skipped most of his ascetic mario pray-threw because it bored me alot

[MrMentat2]

Didn't know you were into MtG. Interesting.

Sadistic Mario seems alright. The 99 lives are a nice touch.

[ExcellentCaptain]

@MrMentat2 Raocow actually mentioned Midrange style play in MtG a while back wich really surprised me.

[AwesomeTactical]

I must say, that rendition of Walking the Plains that serves as the Overworld theme is quite nice.

[TopHatTragedy]

I like it when rom hacks have different colored tile sets and new skins on enemies!

[Stevothehuman]

4:54 Raocow is racist!?

[2hakkabakka]

@Stevothehuman I'm pretty sure that those blocks don't pay their taxes as well, but I may just be another racist.

[MasterAsra]

@Stevothehuman Racist can't be racist he's from Canada.

[Nanospark5]

@Stevothehuman I'm sure that was not the intent of that statement. Blocks can't pay taxes anyway because they don't get paid at their jobs. It's more along the lines of...volunteer work...except they really aren't volunteering. I'm not too sure how that works, though.

[Jethrotex]

@Stevothehuman Well, in all actuality, it is mainly the rich, white people who do not pay their taxes. So the thought you should gravitate towards is that Raocow was merely telling a joke as opposed to being a racist; seeing as that is not a typical stereotype for that particular race.

[Faybe13]

These levels have to get longer. Only about 10 minutes of raocow a day just is NOT enough for me. :(

[DSUltimate]

@Faybe13 They get much longer in world 3.

[Baximus]

Castlevania password music for a stage? What an odd choice, honestly.

[bitesh]

@Baximus is that what it is? which castlevania?

[Baximus]

@bitesh Actually I may of gotten confused, since I think it's the map screen from Castlevania X or 5, whatever you want to call it, not the password screen from Super Castlevania 4.

[Superdimentiobros]

Also WALL OF PANIC!

[Superdimentiobros]

At first I thought it stood for "super" mario

[2hakkabakka]

Hey, listen! *insert shameless plug for the Gaki no Tsukai No Laughing Airport subbing going on, here.*

[Phandiw]

Oh god, those shows are awesome.

[2hakkabakka]

Raocow's editing is superior. (I should have stated this about a thousand videos ago, but I'm kind of luddistic about these things.)

[MudScarf]

@2hakkabakka

Superior to what?

[2hakkabakka]

@MudScarf Superior to all other LPs. I haven't seen better editing than Raocows.

[Blazeboyx]

Hey Rao, do your lives reset to 99 everytime you restart the game?

[Jolpengammler]

@Blazeboyx yes they do

[Findeco]

I tap 3 islands and counterspell your wall of panic.

[Kyuubi780]

@Findeco I tap an island and a swamp to mana leak your counterspell

[shanara99]

I don't think the music was too loud. You were easy to understand, the music was nice, and everything was ok, I think

[peteyboo]

I like the audio level here. You can still hear your voice, and game audio is always good.

[MetalJo98]

Love that fast fireballs :3

[D3M0NCHR15]

How the heck can you read that text at the beginning of the level?

[skawo90]

@D3M0NCHR15

People translate it to him.

[MathewWii]

@D3M0NCHR15 Someone translated it for him.

[MathewWii]

@D3M0NCHR15 Also, it IS possible to learn another language. English isn't the only language we can learn.
