[meowistforlife]

wow that last section was evil

[dmitrishosta]

raocow this is why a save state is exist

[ChaoticFox9900]

@dmitrishosta You know that raocow is just gonna say no to savestates, right?

[SpinyStarCraft]

this is something a kaizo would do. i dont mean the japanese hack i mean just any old asshole

[cashmike75]

Nice

[AlDiesel18]

I think Roacow is broken. Is there a warranty?

[LORDMETALMAN]

9:54 D:

[Xaenoth]

You know, I'm sure nobody would complain if you used savestates to get through the really stupid levels like this, and in the end it would make for better videos since you wouldn't be all frustrated and angry.

[octagonoid]

Nice Force Your Way remix. Brutal level. Amazingly perseverant raocow.

[ViperKirby]

wait, does this mean you'll get to see a level similar to this again later on that is harder? Because the last thing I'd want to realize of a level that made me lose 244 lives is that there is another that works the same but is harder

[Nokiaar1]

My headphones exploded cause of the zoo in you´re head coming out of your mouth! :DDD TATATA :DD

[moralapostel]

Raocow, you are the king of videeo games!

[eMsylf]

@moralapostel No, he's the Greatest Videogames.

[DecepticonFlashDrive]

shame, the level looks like it would be really fun if it weren't for the flame generator

[foxxyrin]

I think an ascetic run of this would be impossible.

[TheLuigiMarioFan]

@ 10:12 I was like NOOOO YOU BEAT THE LEVEL BUT THREE COINS-Oh I forgot this is ascetic mario...

CRAZY SALAD LETTERS! - Tags

[PeachisAwesome]

*Totally scraps good comments about this hack from yesterday*

Random Generators are so bad when used in the right context of a level. @_@

In this case, horizontal RG on a mostly horizontal area = ACK

[Ziiiv]

Raocow, I think those fireballs from the generator aim at you. I don't think they're random.  You could probably fake them out like the clapping charlie.

[Magnaillusion]

I'd have thrown in some kind of precision falling with teleporting gimmicks on the level along the spin-jumping mechanics, personally. Not that it would have changed the fact that it's already a horribly hard level, mind you.

[BobombDom]

At 10 seconds it suddenly zoomed in for no reason

[Darklink99]

oh Raocow, you and your self imposed challenges. The solution is simple, self imposed midpoints. also known as savestates.

[JustAGamerFan]

@Darklink99 but the reason ppl enjoy his gameplay is because he is above the savestates, aside from his 3 second science projects. =3

[Gotenks070]

Wow. I know this is supposed to be hard but man. Putting that generator in just turns it from hard to completely unfair. Like really now.

[ZaazaaTFM]

Guess I was right about the "Four letters, then five letters" title theme. Also the first word always ends with E so far.

[shadowweegee25]

See, flames-WOOOO DATATATA DATATATA DATATATA

[Phandiw]

Raocow: The Masochistic Gamer.

[lomionjones]

Raocow, do you have any insight into why both sadism and masochism are named after French dudes?

[Labtop215]

You didn't do that very astheticly man.

[Redesignated]

/hugs Raocow

[Sephiko]

At least they didn't throw in podoboos.

[BaconFlavouredRobot]

@Sephiko And wind. And homing bullets.

[dinosaur521]

Thanks for the video!

[LordMonSeigneur]

For those who didn't understand at 10:00 "whooo datata datatata" means "FUCK YEAH I DID IT !" in french x)

[Stripehat]

Good job Raocow!

[Kirbyluver2]

RAOCOW SAID RETARDED? I feel like that is too pg-13 for a raocow video! Lol

[Elnanful]

Amazing level, it looks really fun but it would be even better if it had a zillion checkpoints or something.

[imegachocohalic]

Dear Raocow,

..i was watching this with my llama...... when Raocow gave that mating call my llama got excited! please Raocow control your ability to use mating calls, im thinking of others too who have animals you may know the mating call to.

A fan of yours.

[thecreator315]

This is the happiest I've seen you after completing a level. Makes me happy in response.

[FoulMouthedMoogle]

This level looks hard for all the wrong reasons. Most of it is you have to be lucky on where and when the fireballs come onscreen. If it weren't for that fireball generator i think you would have had more fun on that level.

[endeppa]

69 lives lost. 177 total lives lost.

Mortal damage is vital, Mr. Naocow

Also; your "frustration run" was neat @ 7:55

[AgentCack]

888888888888888888888888888888­888888

(sorry. I think I've spent too much time on NND)

[Stupidmonkee11]

i wonder how much cussing raocow has to cut out.

[Svbterfuge]

Had to replay the sounds Raocow made when he saw the goal several times :D

[DishonestAbe0]

Mr. Cow, where do you find your craaaazy japanese hacks?

[ReconUnit415]

Slipping right into the sadistic character, I see. Don't deny it, raocow. You're a Mario saddist.

[deyv87]

"See, flames OH TATATA! TAH TATATA! TAH TATATA!"

[ltsMeSB]

Let's see... Blind enemy appearances, unnecessary generator, and an annoying gimmick. Yup, perfect asshole level!

[SomeGuy712x]

Death count:

Previous total: 111

Presumed deaths yesterday: 170

Deaths today: 74

New total: 355

[AdasiekkkTrzeci]

@SomeGuy712x I don't think we can't consider "170" to be a valid number :P

[TheGangstagnome]

Still not really feeling this hack. Like I've said before, it's hard for all the wrong reasons, and I don't really feel that the level design is all that good. Mad props to raocow for playing this hack at all, let alone for the YouTubes, because god knows I sure as hell would've given up long ago.

[kevsmith238]

That level is total bollocks.

[KyleFeline]

omg, is this a tune from the crash bandicoot games.

[veba3108]

too bad the megaman X music port is so bad, cus that song is awesome.

[UltimaXG2]

9:58

And then I was watching Fist of the North Star.

[EphraimWolf]

I thought the silence was to make it through hell and add suspense to your end gate excitement :D....

[PureRok]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: generators are cheap difficulty. I personally feel that if you have to use generators to generate difficulty then you need to rethink how you design levels. Basically, I think you're lazy if you put a generator into your level.

[EvilLemmy]

@PureRok Agreed. Generators can be used effectively, but it requires the level to actually be built with them in mind. Just slapping one on an already difficult section is incredibly lazy and bullshit design.

[kirokyo]

hoorayyy!!!

[KiddKoopa19]

Raocow. You're my hero!

[choupetto85]

So stressful this level.

[B00Cwis]

I remember back in the day when I used to want raocow to use tools to save his sanity. The concern is nice, but toolless Mario hack runs seem to be raocow's trademark (along with his ZANY commentary!) nowadays. And maybe it helps show ROM Hackers to make their games toolless as well!

[SuperJeenius]

This level, while not looking very fun, does live up to the name of 'sadistic', however. Small silver lining.

[Kaizoman666]

@SuperJeenius Well, you're probably the one of the last people I expected to watch raocow. XD

[SuperJeenius]

@Kaizoman666 raocow is one of my favorite lpers there, duder, and one of the only ones I watch consistently. :3

[XXiniteXX]

@Kaizoman666 Pretty sure he made a reference to raocow, in a video he co-commented on. Just sayin'

[RetroTM]

@SuperJeenius Back to battletoads for you ;D

[TheSidGunner]

Wow, that level could really do without the flame generator. There was that part where raocow used one of the flames to jump over some black blocks, but I think that jump would be totally possible without bouncing on the flame. Really, the level would have been much better and much more legitimately difficult without the freaking flame generator.

Still, nice job there, raocow! You played very well. Let's hope that tomorrow's level is similar to the first few levels of this hack.

[Tzelemel]

That looks like a horribly unfair level. The least the creator could have done is put a mid-point just before the area where you need to be big.

[TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

raocow is like the most patient guy in the entire world.

[Laian41]

somebody should make an alternate flame generator

[Callipotech]

Can he REALLY read japanese?

[endeppa]

@Callipotech No, he is reading translations such as "Message box @ blah-blah level reads as; The cookie ate my monster." As an example. World 1 has been translated as of now.

[kurzfilm]

Amazingly patient raocow respect!

[AGrayPhantom]

O_O

I can't wait to see what that Roo person animates to that audio.

[elblogdelfeno]

Clear example of a would be fun but challenging level turn into cheap bullshit because uf the use of a generator.

[mariodude89]

Difficulty level: Asian

[kilon666]

it's lifes revenge for not doing hyper 6.

[LegendarySock]

The Toolness Wonder.

[Onmur]

Congratulations you masochist

Now remember to avoid a repeat of this: watch?v=sdZoST9kaRM please

[DivineJayce]

Wasn't there supposed to be a different level between this one and the one before it? You know, the one you put at the end of the last video with all the wigglers and flames... I recall hearing you say something at the start of this vid about losing 170+ lives but did you actually pass/record the last level?

[PlaguedByCats]

Wow, lewd

[xxxDarkAngelFrankxxx]

9:59

Awesome!

[masic88]

i am so proud of you, sammy!

you are truly a man amongst Cows!

[McCargot]

Maybe you shouldn't play the whole levels with savestates but put an extra mid point at the quarter of each level. ^^

[trazac]

The disco makes a lot of apperances in this hack

[UltimaShadow7]

Wind, you have met your match!

[BlubBlaub]

Woah that has to be the most reliefing feeling ever, when you beat the level without tools.

[MichaelSaniyan]

Kinda tired of people keep telling Raocow to use tools. He most likely knows his audience well enough to know that we're fine with him using them, and if it gets to the point that he needs tools, he'll use them. Besides, this was nothing compared to things Raocow has done in the past.

[wiimoterevcon]

@MichaelSaniyan I kinda agree that Raocow knows that his audience has no problem with him using tools, but this isn't really "nothing" compared to stuff in the past. This was 2 and a half hours on one frustrating level.

[MichaelSaniyan]

@wiimoterevcon Yes, because Raocow has never had to re-record a level before ever. Give the guy some credit. He's not a child.

[OhLookNoNumbers]

@MichaelSaniyan I know Raocow likes to do levels without tool assistance, but when it gets so bad that he's only doing one level or sometimes even PART of a level in a single video because of bad design choices or insane difficulty, it becomes not only visibly frustrating for Raocow to play, but painful for us (or at least me) to watch. I don't like seeing Raocow upset like this.

[MichaelSaniyan]

@OhLookNoNumbers That isn't the point I'm trying to make. Do you think I like seeing Raocow upset? My point is, it's HIS choice whether he wants to play with tools or not. HIS video, HIS experience.

[LaZodiac]

The fact that this is true, that this ISN'T the hardst thing he's ever done, kinda scares me.

[RulerOfTheAbyss]

I still think it's fun to watch. When Raocow wants to use tools he knows we accept it. But don't make him use them. Maybe he won't have more fun.

[heroinpenguin666]

How about using just one or two save states, in order for you to preserve yuor sanity a little better. XD

[MrMentat2]

This has been stated by others in this thread, but seconding that nevertheless: that was seriously dishonest difficulty. Still, I suppose this would be expected from a game that is called "Sadistic Mario." I guess complaining about the difficulty in this is sort of like complaining about a suicide booth killing everyone who walks into it.

[wiimoterevcon]

Wow, this level was beyond just challenging or difficult. The random fireball generator made plenty of random "Oops, guess you're dead." situations, and the disco shell and needing to remain big was just the icing on the cake. Jeez, but still props for beating it Raocow.

[pipolopopopo]

This level seem to be hard.

[unaniem909]

Didn't ZNES had tools build into it for a reason, Raocow?

You know, so you can stop torturing yourself?

And your videos can becomes much more amusing for both you and your viewers?

You do know right that people like your videos better if you're having fun, right?

And you know that that can be acieved by using the tools, right?

Because none of us minds you using those, right?

[Mirr0ga]

@unaniem909 I think you're forgetting the reason why Raocow gains fun and fulfillment is finishing levels without tools.

[haganebr]

@Mirr0ga if the fun of beating a level without tools is worth the hassle of editing later on, then more power to him.

[unaniem909]

@Mirr0ga Official: I'm a complete moron.

[XordHacker]

Raocow said retarded... 

[MrSavage0henry]

@XordHacker so?

[XordHacker]

@MrSavage0henry dsdadsssssssssssssssssssssssss­sa

[KBroly]

Raocow, you need to start using tools/save states before you go crazy. Seriously, this hack seems to be much harder than anything done before.

[XXiniteXX]

Raocow... I wouldn't mind you using tools with this one... you've certainly proved your skill in the marios, no need to stress yourself this much... at least allow yourself some sort of checkpoint system, if not for your health, for the quality of your videos. We like a happy raocow...

[Zorpad90]

@XXiniteXX:

I think a level with an annoying design flaw like this wouldn't be much fun to play, with tools or without them. Also, I can totally understand raocow getting angry, being exposed to an unreasonable level like this. His occasional anger doesn't make his videos any less entertaining in my opinion, it just shows that he's a human being like all of us. Just my two cents.

[skawo90]

Told'y I didn't like this hack's attiude.

[nintendosweepon]

RAOCOW :D

[HerrTiMMeY]

that looked kinda kaizo~ish to be honest

[ninjamex89]

when raocow is quiet.. that means, he is eating potatoes

:D

[tape4684]

Sorry*

[Lodratio]

yeaaa.. if this trend continues u might want to consider using tools... after all a let's play should be fun to watch :P

[Baximus]

First Castlevania map music, then Mega Man X boss music. I do like the choices of music so far.

[2hakkabakka]

10:00 - Suddenly Crowcow.

[RetroTM]

Raocow for your next project, you should play Amnesia: The Dark Descent. :D

[heroinpenguin666]

@RetroTM That sounds like fun XD

[tape4684]

You should use save states I feel bad :(

[BillyandBoby]

Darn, I didn't get any snow D;

[tape4684]

Cool I'm one of the first few :)

[BlueJirachi]

What is this level doing to poor Raocow D:

Oh well, although he mostly doesn't recognize is, Raocow is really REALLY good. He beat the whole level without savestates. And didn't reach down his throat and tear out something uncomfortable.

[KleinerKokiri]

1:35 but you've been to slow raocow! Don't blame ~that~ on the generator. Also: scrolling might have helped... on some parts.

[Nixitur]

Oh wow, what a neat gimmick! That could be so fun if it wasn't so brutal.

[arciks11]

And this is only World 1...

[GoroWannabe]

I want my sound tests raocow! I PROTEST
