Video game glitches part 2 - Super Mario Brothers

This is an example of getting to the minus 1 level on super mario bros.
Just a example of a documentary I will be making to show examples of video game glitches.
In this video I mention D.Hawkins faq, the link is here:

0:28 you don't need to break the second block.

[glisignoli]

That is true, but I do find it easier,

[DeathProdigy]

what happens after you finish this stage?

[glisignoli]

It just starts again, but the timer doesn't reset. So yu eventually die

[iluvalima]

Isn't this level accessible during regular game play. I'm referring to the actual level (water, fish, green rocks) not the level number. I remember playing that level but I was never aware of the fact that I was performing a glitch.

[glisignoli]

The level you might be thinking of is 2-1(I think). The first water level in the game.

The difference is the layout is much different and that level -1 just keeps looping making it impossible to finish.

"it's likely the programmers were so nice and didn't just kill you for it"

hahah

:D

I really enjoy these videos you have made on video game glitches.

[MercedesCars454]

make more videos!!!!!

[Ellisthemechanic]

Is this also in the Super Nintendo version?

[TitanicNeoTyphlosion]

my thoughts:

i believe this was going to be a real level in the game and was out but never finished (which would explain why it keeps looping) but they took it out (or at least thought they did) in the beta and was never discovered in the final project and was accidentally left in.

i don't needed to go to the warp zone to get to that level:

i just started the game normally and then the level would begin.

after i pass the level it toad would say:

"Thank you Mario, But the princess is in another castle"

and then it would freeze the game

Wierd...

Note: the game was original, unedited. Thou it was on an emulator

Since there is only one pipe in the second warp zone, and it leads to world 5, loading the data for that onto the first warp zone naturally leads to the central pipe warping to World 5 with the other pipes warping to nowhere...or to Blank tile 36 in hexadecimal code: otherwise known as the Minus World.

[WhoMelissa]

The minus world is a level that shouldn't exist ,but it only exists because the level data that it pulls up is actually level data from World 7-2. The reason why it loops is because of the way the player got there. It's actually a very complicated glitch primarily caused by going through the pipe in the warp zone before the words "Welcome to Warp Zone appear."

The reason why the middle pipe would take you to world 5 prematurely is because it's using data from the second warp zone.

[WhoMelissa]

Actually, World -1 is really World 36-1, not that it matters. It isn't a testing level that the programmers accidentally left in.

@SPR00KS Interesting... btwdubs... click between the "you" and "Tube" in the url, type "win" and hit enter. :o

[ThePlanetRobloxia]

if u use a level editor and put a flag pole there u can continue but level - 4 will give u a game over
