Super Marisa World - 20 - house of madness and rodents

[bahamut416]

Haha, I am the 9001st viewer.

[strangecommentboy]

it's not a pentagram. it has six points.

[firemblemrules9]

This misunderstanding is driving me crazy, and despite the oh-so-true words of Enter259259 and maplecheez8 I have to clear it up.

A pentagram is a 5-pointed star is a pentagon, while a pentacle is a 5-pointed star in a circle. The midpoint, is a hexacle, I suppose, because the suffix gram means something completely different. Look it up. While a pentacle is commonly associated with satanists or magic, it is also symbols of Paganism and Wicca, real world religions, look it up. Facts people.

[Ingicrali]

The midpoint is not a pentgagram!

It's the Star of David!

Its used to ban evil stuff or something like that, I dunno...

[ChipmunkiousD]

kinda the wrong vid to put this on (should've put it on the first part) but those fuzzy things remind me of the fuzzy things from the game "Chuzzle"

[AbsurdistLover]

Lol, the intro, it's the metamorphosis into rao-cat! Do it again!!!!!!

[InuYashafanboyee]

lol BOO FUZZ!!!

[GrehamAdelphis]

Sadly, I can never win at this stage for one sole reason:

Whenever I go into the pipe at the end of the bomb block run, my program errors and closes.

[xTsukiNekoChanx]

I have the same problem. :(

Could anyone help please?

[GrehamAdelphis]

I actually went out to try and fix the problem. I found out that the problem with mine (and likely yours) is that they aren't the 1.05 version patch. Mine was 1.00. If you go online and find the 1.05 patch, download it and run it on the game, and after a while, it'll boot up to 1.05. Just keep clicking yes when prompted.

[legice]

update?

[enter259259]

come on! Who really has religious debates while watching a let's play!? especially by raocow!!

[maplecheez8]

Everybody just shut up about the pentagram! He mentioned it once, less than half a minute into the eleven-minute video and over half of the comments are about pentagrams and their satanism when upsidedown or whatever. The worst part is that Raocow just mentioned it as a random word just like the other random words he mentions. It's not exactly like he meant something by it. So shut up about whether or not it has to be upsidedown or whatever and start leaving some actual comments on the VIDEO.

[posthumanfetus]

It always cracks me up when he says "New Recored"

[GauRocks]

All this pentagram crap... ugh.

Did you guys know that the swastika used to be a symbol for good luck? Before anyone brings up flipping: both versions. But when you see either version of a swastika today, you think of nazis.

Symbols evolve over time and start to mean different things than originally intended. Right now, to most Americans, a pentagram means satanism.

In this case, though, we're talking about Japan, and they do use pentagrams for generic 'magic' a lot. I'm with Raocow.

[TheRougeStallion]

pentagram started in Greece and Rome. It was the symbol of their gods. and it was always there with all forms of paganistic belief. But Christians claimed that there is only one god so they told everyone that if one is shown to follow the pentagram that that person is a follower of satan. it is rather irksome I agree.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

@TheRougeStallion

Actually you're wrong..

The pentagram is used as a Christian symbol for the five senses, and if the letters S, A, L, V, and S are inscribed in the points, it can be taken as a symbol of health (from Latin salus).

Medieval Christians believed it to symbolise the five wounds of Christ. The pentagram was believed to protect against witches and demons.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

(continued)

Most Christians, probably due to their misinterpretation of symbols used by ceremonial magicians, came to associate it with Satanism and subsequently rejected the symbol sometime in the twentieth century.

And in case you were wondering, I am a christian.

[TheRougeStallion]

hmmm, you did your research. But your research fails to determine one thing. The five wounds of christ and the 5 senses were something used to make the pentagram holy from the tainted hands of the romans and greeks. I am a large Greko-Roman history buff and have studied these things thoroughly. The Pentagram was originally a sign of the gods for Greeks and Romans. But that tradition did end. I will admit that what you say has merit, But Christians were not the primary users of the pentagram.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

Yea the I know Christians aren't the primary users of It, some different religious groups and such had adapted it at one time in the life span of their religion.

[brink808]

actually, the downward pointing pentagram isn't the symbol for satanism.. it was once a symbol for witchery, but due to christians and all their bullshit said that whitches is the devils wife, and so it became known as being the symbol for satanism

[ragnariii]

the background makes it seem like Super Marisavania World

[Demented101]

I say you should skip everything and just show us the secret exit considering the guy who spoiled it said it's at the end of the normal path, no use seeing what we already have seen.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

@Raocow

Pertaining to what you said at the end I think you should just skip until you get to the part before you are on the path to the secret exit.

[raocow]

are people making fun of me in japanese D:

[flamingspinach]

nah we're just making fun of kilga

[EvaristoH]

Actually, I don't know if you didn't notice but you only need to kill the last two group of enemies or so, the third to last pipe I think leads you directly to a B block and then you jump (through a slightly narrow place) and you start running almost in the end of that room.

And apparently some people gave you a Japanese version of your name huh... I don't know what's going on here.

Good luck next time anyway.

[thefakepsychic]

Could be a devil's trap. Keeps demons away

[EvaristoH]

Huh, I'll give a wild guess and say the pentagram is related to magic, and our protagonist is a witch so yeah.

Besides, this level is the Devil's Mansion, the most adorable devil you'll see, maybe.

[aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1]

the pentagram is the "symbol" of satan as is the cross for christianity.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

just for your information the pentagram is not the symbol for satanism. The pentagram is actually the symbol for Wicca. The downward pointing pentagram is the symbol for satanism.

As it has been pointed out, for any who ask

"How can a star be pointing downward" well It only has 5 sides. The star of david in a circle in this game, is not a pentagram, that has also been pointed out. Well I just wanted to inform you that a pentagram is NOT the symbol for satanism.

[Nofxthepirate]

The pentagram actually is the symbol for satanism, what you are referring to as the symbol for Wicca, is the pentacle, which is the upwards star, the downwards star is the pentagram.

[StarPowerCantSaveYou]

@Nofxthepirate

A pentacle (or pantacle) is an amulet used in magical evocation, generally made of parchment, paper or metal (although it can be of other materials), on which the symbol of a spirit or energy being evoked is drawn.

A pentacle can be any type of magical amulet, it is not only a pentagram, but many other amulets with different symbols are still pentacles..

Like I said before, the symbol for Wicca is a pentagram.

Simple google search would get you all this information.

[raocow]

Well, remember that most japanese people aren't christian, and sometimes they use symboles without truly knowing their meaning.

I think they used it as a midpoint there trying only to refer to 'magic' as a whole.

[aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1]

Oh, i never thought of that, i suppose that would make sense as well.

[veryformal]

to be exact, a pentagram has 5 points the star thing for the midpoint made me think of the jewish star thing in a circle so....you just got offended for nothing

^^

[aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1]

oh, yep you're right. well dont i feel stupid.

well a pentagram and star of david look similar so i was close. thanks tho =)

[veryformal]

no problem, happy to clear things up ^^

[Mordain607]

@aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1When you think about it, it's just a geometrical shape... you get hexagrams and icosagrams etc. as well.

But yeah, agree with raocow... they are just reffering to "magic".

[cyborgtroy]

@aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1 - It's actually a hexagram, it has 6 points, because contrapositively, everybody likes Jews.

[theunborn89]

@aErOpOsTaLeTeEn1 Pentagrams are actually supposed to ward off evil spirit and demons.

[vincanthofred]

everyday i watch my raocow with a bowl of cereal :P

[GVirusG]

I´d say skip everything old, because all that again is kinda boring

[RabiEnRoll]

For future reference, you can kill Boo fuzzies with drill kicks if they're solid. It's not necessary for stages like this, but you'll be tearing your hair out in later levels if you let them all live.

Normally I would avoid something like this, but I think it's worth it this time to save you some aggravation (as well as perhaps some more "crappy failure" videos).

[Kil6969]

[JessePrower]

Skip it. The secret exit is on top of the last thwomp before the end, so basically, you need to beat the level twice. You need to ride it to the top.

[raocow]

thanks, euh... thanks for spoiling it I guess?

to be fair I was suspecting something like that, but, ah, okay!

[deathsoul101]

@JessePrower YOU DUMBASS!!!!! I HATE PEOPLE WHO SPOIL SHIT!!!

[katarani]

If you wanted to make the "hey this is just like finding items in Kamek's Revenge *throw self down hole*" bonus video? Go right ahead! But don't make it required watching. That puts the event next stage (PROTIP: Make sure you have your translation ready) even further back.

[die4fun2]

skip... xD this level is just too much for me to watch 3-4 times... xD

[BonePizza]

I just noticed. I think the long hallway is mabye the same same same as World3 Fortress1 in SMB3. But instead of doors....we have pipes.

Anybody agree?

[198419841984]

skip. this level was tedious enough to watch twice. a third time would be overkill.

[Zemed87]

Unless you run out of mouth juice easily, I'd say make a bonus video not in the main playlist of looking for the secret exit, then the normal video where you start off where you found the secret exit.

[VagueZ]

We've seen you fall into hundreds of holes. Thousands, maybe. Only worth filming if it's something novel about it.

[yoshicookiezeus]

This level kind of reminded me of an extended version of that fortress in SMB3... The one with a lot of doors, some Boos, and the occasional Thwomp...

[Psychorina]

I'd say just skip to the exit. If the next level is like the others we'll see you die anways ;)

[TheFinnGamer]

skip to the exit is my vote

[TennisKristian]

Skip to the exit is my vote.

Because these levels are getting kind of insane.

Just Sayin'.

[StarkMaximum]

Raocow, do you or have you ever actually played Magic: The Gathering? It's interesting to hear you reference it.

[GauRocks]

In one of his videos a LOOOOOOOONG time ago, he had the rulings for Panglacial Wurm in the background. Also, Doran, the Siege Tower was his desktop wallpaper for a while.

Wow, that didn't come out creepy or stalker-ish at all. I only remembered it because I'm a pretty hardcore collector (and a decent player) myself.

[katarani]

There've been hints of it here and there - he often has MtG art as his desktop image if he accidentally quits out. I get the feeling he's a closeted Magic nerd :ssh:

[StarkMaximum]

I will use this knowledge to make an awesome Raocow Magic card.

[Tr0tim]

You can make a death montage and then show where the E exit is.

[TLs4]

Agree with Tr0tim!

[EvaristoH]

Agreed. Show us a death feast!

[CinnamonMilkshake]

As fun as it is to watch you fall in holes, it'd probably be more fun to actually get things done and all that. So I vote for finding it/knowing where it is before filming.

[EinDose]

I'd say don't show us the whole thing. That was painful enough to watch the first time around, especially seeing you curse your own menu choice. (Though to be fair, we were cursing it too.)

[Dealth0072]

Keep going
