I Remade Super Mario Bros From Memory

I Remade Super Mario Bros From Memory

I remade Super Mario Bros from only my memory, challenging myself to recreate the art, gameplay, and levels without using the internet or any reference images!

subscribe... or you will look like my goomba drawing

Now you need to recreate your recreation from memory and then recreate that. See how distorted the game becomes after several iterations.

[Legocoder]

The “that is clean” towards the end of development while he was making the most janky bootleg super Mario just cracked me up

[CodingWithLewis]

Im actually impressed at how well the sprites were based off of pure memory lol

[jeremyandrews]

I notice that the goombas you drew and the Mario colors actually resemble Super Mario World. So if you've played the SNES game, those memories could be interfering.

[NaudVanDalen]

9:04 At least your Mario has better colors. But that's only the fault of their limited technology, which was cutting edge at the time.

[costelinha]

These blocks do not tile correctly. I like it, I think it adds character.


I think I've found the pixel art equivalent to "It's not a bug, it's a feature".

The mario maker 1-1 remakes from memory just got a new competitor for being incredibly innaccurate

[danandtab]

that's a fun challenge, also a great way to learn Unity for those who haven't yet. you were probably thinking of some of the characters/NPCs looks in later games, especially Mario himself.

7:59 That mushroom just falling sideways killed me hahahah

[djtpj]

wow, I didn't know that Nintendo used GIMP for all of their art assets when they made Super Mario Bros :O

[FlaccidFella]

8:00
"such an accurate remake"
As a mushroom falls and lands on it's side like it forgot what it was doing

[eyesonthey]

You made the sad bargain bin version my mom would have accidentally bought me back in the day. God love her.

[SpaceCadet]

That koopa troopa from the thumbnail is like. 1000X better then mine when I remade the game in game maker garage

[brotherdaniel]

I loved watching you do this, but at the same time, the pixel artist in me was screaming during the art creation

[lawrence]

The first level of mario is like the perfect tutorial. First trying stuff out, having one little thread coming towards you so you HAVE TO act. Then you are introduced to powerups. Next you learn you can jump higher by pressing longer. Every jump is getting more difficult

[orangenal]

I could probably make 1-1 and then I'd forget all the levels after that

[Inveestigator]

2:14 my dude made a galoomba instead of a goomba I'm dead

[bnjmnyt]

This man deserves more
especially for his art skills

[asierx]

I knew things would go wrong the moment you made the list and left out the star
