Thank you so much for letting me record for this! It was a lot of fun

10:40 Some of the gambling parlors in Japan get around these gambling laws by using degrees of separation. Let's say you bet big and win a golden ball. The golden ball is just a toy with no value in the parlor you're in but if you go down the street there's a "collector's store" that will pay you 1, 000 bucks for that ball that happens to be owned by the same company that owns the gambling parlor

Luigi is so fast he perceives time as moving slower. He is a God among men

[DonutBurger]

James Burt winning Ganondorf from a contest makes a lot more sense than Nintendo giving it to him for no reason.

[Charriii]

That's an awesome narrator you got there. Surreal as hell to hear Nathaniel in this!

[benschiemer]

“They also banned that page from the internet archive” is the most Nintendo thing they’ve done that I haven’t heard yet

[breawycker]

I'm always impressed how these videos always have facts I didn't know and that y'all are able to get in contact with the actual people involved. Really high quality stuff

[Kaybeeguy]

I love how Nathaniel occasionally acts like himself throughout this video. It shows the guys at DYKG are pretty chill when it comes to their guest narrators recording their lines.

[kelvindavis]

It was super cool to see Nathaniel narrate one of these! I'd just like to make a slight correction for 14:11: the Golden Plains stage in Smash Bros. actually first appeared in Smash 3DS, not Ultimate. That's probably not what the video was trying to say, but it just sounded like it.

[ChillaxingJay]

Probably my favorite aspect about these games are the fact the Koopas do a little dance to the beats of the level's song.

[KJR_Whatever]

Well, that whole “One for the Switch” aged like milk. But that’s a good thing. Cause we got Super Mario Bros. Wonder! Woohoo!

[scrimblocoded]

I am glad to hear they didn't completely ruin that man's life. I've heard the story a ton and they always implied he ACTUALLY had to give them 1.5 mil

[neilmcdermid]

It's awesome watching this AFTER the Release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

[diegog]

I would love to see an evolution on 2D Mario, rather than just another new super mario bros game. The original on the DS was truly a novelty, since 2D games were not very popular at the time, and this return to form was refreshing, the GBA didn't even have a new 2D mario game.
But now 2D games are more popular and refined than ever, with all the indies coming out. A more fluid momentum-based approach like Rayman Legends could be awesome, or maybe a more high budget cinematic take like Donkey kong country returns, tropical freeze. I would even take a new pixel art or hand drawn 2D mario over another bland new super mario.

The Vs mode in New super mario bros ds was fricking amazing. I still have a lot of vivid memories of playing with my friends and cousins in Vs to the point that we started discovering new bugs and "exploits". We pushed that mode to the limit XD

[demontamerbf]

I can't believe it, the guest narrator, the title formatting, the "Did you know?" Nathaniel says at the beginning of the video, it's like the good old days, I love this, I mean I like the longer modern DYKG videos too but this reminds me of the time when I first started watching the channel, I love this video format.

[Meervo]

NSMB2 is definitely the most underrated Mario game, the level design is great and there's a lot of unique gimmicks

[MegaSceptile]

Now I want to see a bowser mode in one of these games.

[bobosmith]

Actually really great series, I hate that people think it's bad just because they use the same models or whatever. The powerups, levels, and gameplay are really fresh and solid and easy to get into.

[dmann]

Blue Koopa Shell in DS is one if the best powerups in the series
