I love the way that you break down the technical details in these. There's something about how you cover it that always feels really approachable.

[Schlimtor]

It never ceases to amaze me that nearly 40 years later we're STILL learning new things about this game

[Bismuth]

The clip at the end is almost HappyLee-tier. Well done!

In all my years of playing SMB, I never knew that lifts did not count against chain stomps. I'll have to see if this still applies in SMBDX, as it would allow for much higher scores to be possible in Challenge Mode. I seriously learn something new about SMB every time I watch one of your videos!

I remember having a fun time trying to get as many 1-ups as I could with the star in 3D World 3-7, because high-value enemies like hammer bros end up just adding three to your current chain level in that game too (200+400 can become 1000+400 or 200+2000), and the way that interacts with stars (which reset the chain every 8 enemies in 3D World)... I actually forget.

But have you speedran eating a bowl of cereal? Also why are you letting me know Mario is almost 40 😭 because that means so am I.

When I played SMB1 on SM All Stars, I was having trouble with world 8, so I got myself to 8-2 and painfully set up the infinite one ups trick on the second koopa on the stairs. It was totally worth it though, as it gave me enough lives to comfortably finish world 8. If only I could beat 8-4 in the lost levels 😥

Someone needs to do a maximum lives run that doesnt involve dying or infinite life combos

[jdmjesus]

I'm impressed that I instantly recognised the last track as music from 'Top Gear' even after all these years. Excellent soundtrack.

[TT-rlpu]

Didn’t realize that stopping a shell doesn’t reset the kill combo counter in this game. Probably would’ve been a little broken in later games where you can pick the shell up after.

8:34 knowing how points work this way will seriously help with getting higher scores in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 👀

09:50 - You know you have arrived at the good part. It's all in the music!

[HappyLeeHL]

Great video! Thanks for using my footage of 1-1 and 1-2 1-Ups. Your solution of 3-2 is great. :D

[DJeimaXe]

*You have just exploded my childhood brain of my 1992 days*, when I have discovered this shell trick into the stair wall all by myself back then; no guide.

Such a weird staggering feeling. I thank you.

[DougSalad]

That ending combo is insane! Great work Kos

[ChamblesRNG]

Blows my mind how there is always more to learn in this game even after so many years.. This game is like life itself

[BiffHorrific]

Love that top gear music track btw 👍 at 9:50

[artsykristy]

Awesome video - I didn't know about a lot of these tricks and we will definitely try some of them! And we LOVE magic spoon - our daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and Magic Spoon has been a GAME CHANGER for our family! I cannot say enough nice things about them!

[marcosassis]

EXTRA thumbs up for the Top Gear Soundtrack!!! As a brasilian I can say this is hardcoded into the brains of most people my age. Super cool.

5:43 "This trick Andrew shows in 1–2 gets two 1UPs in a single shell kick" - but doesn't it show *three* 1UPs?
