The tiniest and most inconsequential obscure bug: pressing select on the title screen can prevent the flashing coin in the HUD from updating. For one single color change.

By the way, the tenth thing was actually discovered by Marionaire in 2008, and it was used in some of his TASes. However, he got terminated and it wasn't until AndrewG dug up several archived videos of him when we were able to discover this trick. Also, Mastermind explained this glitch in one of his recordings of Marionaire's TAS videos.

Bruce also has official lore. And it's confusing and contradictory. Basically depending on when you ask Nintendo he's either Bowser's brother, one of the weird clones, or an unknown character

Always nice when a list of "things you don't know" are ACTUALLY things you didn't know :) great vid 😎

[Bismuth]

Didn't know the palette glitch in 1, didn't know 6, 8 and 10. Great video! 10 is definitely the most absurd and obscure quirk.

I did not expect to laugh at number 10 lmao. The best thing about the community is how when you get _everyone_ together, you can truly find _everything_ there is to offer.

[CerisuHakka]

The original Super Mario Bros. is truly the gift that keeps on giving

[Pixelcraftian]

Here's something I wanna know; like the mystery goomba in SM64, can you kill the Mystery Koopa? I'd assume yes cuz you could probably get a fireball there easy

Number 10 definitely surprised me haha, awesome video!!!

[yelir]

I love the small glimpses of footage about the SMB1 speedrun tournament!

I can't wait for it to come out

[ethansvault]

Never once have I watched a video saying 10 things you didn't know about Mario and have all 10 things be stuff I actually didn't know, until now, good video

[AndrevusWhitetail]

I actually knew about the shell-killable Bullet Bills on -3 stages. Retroachievements has a challenge of "Kill every possible enemy with a shell in one sitting (continues allowed, no hard resets) " and that challenge does include those types of Bullet Bills!

[PierceArner]

The teased green Cheep video has arrived!!

[Boooo]

I could listen to obscure facts about smb for hours

[UltraAryan]

The parakoopa/bullet bill behaviour was my favourite. Its so simple that it makes you wonder about how they even managed to do that, like you would have to take an extra step to add such oddities in nowdays.

[JoeRoe-wpmu]

I only knew about three of these:
2. Color palette change at the end of a castle
5. Different underwater tiles in world 8
9. Small castle in 5-1 and railing in 7-3

The rest were all new to me, though, and I'd love to learn more specifics on why they work!

[nicholasharvey]

Didn't know the one about the Bullet Bills. Also, I always assumed the underwater tiles in 8-4 were just regular castle tiles but with a green palette.

[flibidydibidy]

Color me SHOCKED! Thanks again for coming to the tournament :-) Awesome video!

[KaceyTime]

as someone who thoroughly enjoys the weird game knowledge i've picked up from watching you play this game, i went into this expecting most of what i'd see to have been aware of to SOME degree, but no you got me. great vid.

[DavidRomigJr]

Neat. I knew a bunch of these, but a bunch were new to me.

My favorite trivia I learned just a few months ago was there’s an invisible object on 1-2 that sets a flag to lock the screen scroll so you cannot see the warp zone. It’s supposed to unlock only if your are up in the hud but the code that controls the screen lock itself is broken.

[lior_haddad]

Thanks to you, Kosmic, I already knew like half of these, but seriously, number 10's wild
