Wow! Talk about a walk down memory lane. I recently lost my mom and this was her favorite Super Mario. She would play the whole game get 99 lives get to world 8 and hand the controller over to me and say "I don't know how to beat this world, you do it Charlie." Thank you for making this video, it brings back very good memories.
+Charles Gayman glad you enjoyed it dude, and hope you're ok. Take care :)
+Charles Gayman how old was your mom..im so sorry
+Charles Gayman This is the last game I ever watched my mom beat, I feel ya.
She's not dead, luckily, but she stopped playing games once controllers got joysticks. I got good at controller joysticks, and dad followed, and mom prefers sharing a save with dad while he plays lol
I'm sorry for your loss
Thank you all of you. My mom was 69 when she passed. I'm just glad I was there to see her off. Yeah my mom coudn't get the joysticks down either but she did master Bust-a-Move for the PS1. She couldn't play anything else lol.
Final glitch for the less nerdy:
You're entering a pipe in a glitched way that causes the game to derp out and run code based on enemies' positions. By manipulating their positions you can cause the game to skip to the end.
or "you put enemies in certain places then go in a invisible pipe" in a more short way
Or "You go into an invisible pipe"
*derp out*
Or "Glitch the game to win."
or "break game, win"
"He's not coming back is he" haha love it when you say that
Reminds me of my dad

Once when I was a kid, I played this game with a friend on his NES. I don't know if the cartridge was in the NES wrong, if there was something jut wrong with the cartridge, or if my friend just had a shoddy NES, but we turned it on, there was some glitchy images, and suddenly we were greeted with the end of the game. Never happened again.
Dragonrider1227 It was probably the cartridge.

Gonna be honest here, I listened to it 5 times and I still have no idea what you said in the last glitch.
Luz Celeste I don't think Andy knows what he said either. It sounds pretty obvious that he's just saying what the glitch-finders wrote. I certainly couldn't put it in easier words.
Luz Celeste What's hard to understand? You perform certain specific actions which write certain addresses to the game's memory. You them perform a specific glitch which causes the game to try and read that re-written memory. The re-written memory was re-written with specific code that tells the game to load the ending cutscene.
It's similar to the more recently found Credits warp for Mario World on SNES.
+TXF Not everyone is a smart arse like you.
crushbeast29 I was explaining the glitch? How does that make me a smart ass?
Fenrir the Rrowdy I'm not into technical jargon really either..that's why I assumed it was fairly easy to understand. I wasn't trying to be condescending. I just honestly figured it wasn't hard to get. Certain moves in the game change certain parts of the code. A specific action activates the code. The code causes a thing to happen. Simple enough.
For those of you looking to do no-fire bowser in the Virtual Console version, that's been fixed in that iteration! Also, the pit will be narrower, making the fight harder.
That final glitch in one sentence: By placing enemies in specific locations and using the glitch pipe entrance, Mario is sent to RAM and from there, he can manipulate the code and trigger the ending cutscene.
mario achieves apotheosis
I absolutely love your videos. There are so many shows about glitches that are just like, "LOL, look how weird the game behaves after this glitch." But you actually take the time to understand the glitches and explain why they happen. I appreciate that. You get my star of approval, a check plus, and an A for 'Outstanding'
Xondak Thanks dude, really appreciate that. It's always interesting to know why these glitches occur rather than just the strange ways they look.
***** lol
“A for ‘Outstanding’”
The hammer suit sliding sprite seems more like it was an intended placeholder for the case of obtaining the power-up while sliding, rather than being an unused sprite. It IS used. It’s just a rare occurrence.
3:34
A+Start: On World 5-9 **CONTINUES TALKING**
Me: **Looks at World Number**
Game: **Shows World 3**
Me: I Know, it's hard to Talk.

Optional: Bet your friends that you can beat Super Mario Bros. 3 within 10 minutes.
1. Beat 1-1 and 1-2.
2. Get the whistles in 1-3 and the castle.
3. Use a whistle and enter world 2.
4. Use a whistle and enter world 7.
5. Perform the 7-1 glitch.
Optional: Win money.
Step 5 is basically TAS-only, and I'm not even sure about the "basically." It would take thousands of tries (no exaggeration) to get it correct as a normal player, and considering that if you mess up it has the potential to crash the game or the like... yeah.
TheGigaBrain This trick was done live at Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, iirc. I'd wager it's possible, just that it takes a *lot* of practice and research, like most speedrunning tricks.
iankeith Actually, I saw a video of that being performed in real time after I posted that comment :) I guess this will have to be an occasion where I admit that I was wrong.
TheGigaBrain Cool as hell to see though, isn't it? People have been doing a lot of research into doing these in a lot of games; it's been done somewhat in DKC and other games more and more often now.
iankeith Yeah, these kinds of glitches are always cool to see. You do seemingly random stuff at a fast pace, and the next thing you know, you're at the credits.
6:24 Bowser: (breathes heavily)
Mario: Umm...
Mario: eat a mint please!
This was the first ever Son of a Glitch video I ever watched. I remember being 8 and mentioning it to my parents, who unsurprisingly weren't happy with the name. Thanks for the memories A+Start!
"unsurprisingly weren't happy with the name"
lol it didnt contain a actual swear word plus imagine if she heard today he is verified by youtube itself
@@erroroliver I actually don't even think they ever knew the channel. I think I used "Son of a Glitch" as a phrase and they assumed I was being subtle with cursing.
@@CoolGorillaGoAnimate7000 oh
5:18 is an engine bug that exists in mario 1, mario 2 jp and mario 3. Spawning a mushroom will kill a vine growing, since only 1 item is possible to spawn. The vine stop in Mario 3 is only possible in that stage. The item spawned doesn't matter.
But Mario 3 can support multiple items on screen. There are big question blocks that spawn 3 1ups at once. But they somehow managed to overlook the overwriting of powerups 😢
@@IrisGalaxis At the same time. I guess I wasn't clear about that back then. The 3 1ups spawn in a row, not at the same time. If 2 items try to spawn at the same time the second item deletes the first, which includes vines growing, but once it's out it's fine. The vines that were already made don't get deleted but it's cut off early however
@@Shikaku2the example shown in this video are also in a row, not at the same time. He hits a 1up block, the mushroom spawns. Then he hits the next one, that one spawns and the first mushroom despawns. Why doesn't that happen with the giant question block 1-ups?
Thanks for 15,000 subscribers guys! Here's another episode! I worked really hard on this one. Thank you for the support and enjoy!
Hey man, Star Fox 64 and Kirby 64 have glitches?
***** every game has glitches except for Cave Story (not Cave Story 3D)
Can you please not stretch 4:3 game footage to fill the 16:9 frame? I understand the temptation, but everything just looks fat and weird.
That's my only gripe. Besides this, amazing episode! My favourite TH-cam series, by far!
Usually i would agree with you, but to be honest, I would rather have it like this than in previous episodes where most of the screen is static and not used. This is just showcasing a game also, with actual gameplay, I'd post in the ratio it was made to be viewed at. Funnily enough NES games are actually closer to 1:1 ratio.
Understandable, and it's your show. I'm still going to watch, regardless!
Loving these. I remember my neighbour showing me the easy bowser back in 90 and couldn't belive he found something like that.
The last one in English

You eat dead rats?
Imao is he eating ded rats LOL
@@elicenyne ofc he does, he’s a weeb
The glitch with disappearing 1UP mushrooms is very odd when you consider that there's at least a couple giant "?" boxes in the game which release three 1UP mushrooms all at the same time, granted, they're in rooms with no enemies or such, so perhaps it's using sprite space which normally would be reserved for enemies? :o
***** That, or they might be using sprite space normally used by enemies, since there's no enemies on the same screens as multiple 1ups. ;)
@@Pixelmusement I can almost hear your teeth grind as you weepily attempt to cling to your original assertion
+Mega Zeta I'm sure the TASers have this figured out for sure, but I'm not a part of that scene so I have no idea where to go to check that info. :/
That's true, I never realized that
Your presentation is spot-on, and the content is super informative. Keep it up, A+
I'm glad you appreciate it :) Will do!

That last glitch reminds me of the matrix. When he ends up in the final room, peach is crying because she's realized her real world was a lie and they are now in the real world (inside a video game but whatever).
what an absolute throwback of a video. I remember watching all of these in middle school... graduating with my bachelor's this year ! o_0 !!
That last glitch .... holy Moses
About the invisible Muncher: The pipes themselves are actually hurting you, not the Munchers. Think of it as an invisible damage field that pops in and out. The Muncher is only there as a graphical effect. I learned this one back when I was editing SMB3 levels myself.
5:05 Mario is like.. "Fuck it, let me do it Sonic style". Lol

I love learning about old glitches and how and why they happen its so cool! its kinda like getting a close up view of what went into coding these games
I actually recently played through this game in its entirety Andy it's actually a lot more difficult than I remember! What a great video, very detailed! Well done :-)
Thanks for that last one. My brain hurts. :(
Yeah, me too haha. Plus try saying everything I say in that section in one take, and you'll get another headache :)
A+Start that last glitch: could you please explain how to do it one more time? I'm REALLY confused...
ecwcwwf TASvideos.org explains it 10x better; the game has to do something. but what? the instructions are located at a certain place, which is changed when Mario goes too far below the level. such is located at the x-position and sprite slots of the enemies. by manipulating them, they execute things using controller inputs. the controller inputs basically say "go to credits", so that's what the game does.
Not for me
The code is "JSR to i forget the address of the end credits"
I love this episode. I especially love the son of a glitch series!
Owen Branch Thanks, thats really awesome :)

Was that last glitch even in English??
+Harrison DuRant yes it was the US-Version if you mean that. But it was tool assisted, if you want to the the fastest done by a human click here: www.twitch.tv/mitchflowerpower/v/3767813

+Harrison DuRant i understood some of it, and i been in IT for over 10 years, but at the same time im not as good as i should be by now.
replicagl I have not alot stuff to do with IT, but I watched alot SMB3 streams, and played the game too
So don't worry it's rather important to know the game
+Harrison DuRant no
Nice Video man. I started playing MB3 the other day. Feel like a kid again. Priceless.
I've watched pretty much all of your Sonic / Mario videos. You make awesome videos. I don't know how you find all of these cool glitches but it's very enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

This is probably one of my favorite episodes. Like!
I remember doing a few of these glitches myself. Thanx for bringing back some good memories.
How did I never know there were so many cool glitches in this game? I played countless hours of it and never ran into any of them.
In going into this episode, I knew a few, but it was a longer list than I ever imagined :)
I'm going to have to hook up my NES and try some out.
6:00 AVGN quote from Cheetahmen. Said exactly the same way, too.
Bloodbath and Beyond Haha, I just watched that episode, and that's amazing I managed to somehow quote AVGN. Awesome! Well spotted!

Hey, I'm really the son-of-family!
Those glitches/bugs shows how SMB3 had an glitch hunting timeline since the start... I remenbered doing some of these with the 3DS Virtual Console release, which is i first played this game back then.
Final glitch for the nerdy:
This trick involves the pipe end trick glitch that takes you out of bounds where a glitch tile and enemy x-positions are used to execute arbitrary code to skip straight to the ending.
Touching an invisible glitch tile makes the processor tries to update memory outside of the normal tile data at an address that reprograms how the processor interprets adresses.
This causes executions to jump to an un-intended area of the ROM and execute incorrect instructions.
Eventually the stack overflows and it starts executing RAM instructions beginning at a certain address which is just before the location of the player's and enemies' x-values.
To get to the ending, three consecutive x-values are needed which come from the enemies on screen and their x-positions.
By having these values and then using the pipe glitch in this way, Mario is taken out of bounds and then eventually to the end of the game, skipping the entirety of world 8.
That's pretty mind blowing!
5:20 looks to be because the vine counts as a powerup, and spawning a second powerup makes it disappear. Note how it vanished with the flower's arrival.
2:34 Piranha Plant: WTF
These glitches would have made me a hero back in the day as I was actually around when these games first came out and glitching was basically unheard of and no one thought possible.
Recently purchased SMB3 for the 2DS. This was helpful, thanks! ;)
Been watching too many of these
+Kobechet hope you enjoyed them :)

The content, editing, and voice over are fantastic. But the aspect ratio of the video is all wrong! It makes it a little hard to watch...
On the final glitch, I have no idea what you said.
Russell Wallace it's complicated haha
Russell Wallace It's so simple!

Lol, This is meant to be a joke, I know it's not that simple too, I just copied that part's script word for word, and I actually didn't copy it, I wrote this whole thing instead of copying and pasting, why? I'm CRAZY, or, am I??
_dude for real, didn't know any of those glitches, knew some secrets but not glitches OMG. Suscribed._
Thank.you for making a very cool video!
I don't know if anyone mentioned it before, but if you enter a stage with a p-wing and collect a tanuki suit, your turn into a tanuki Mario who can still fly indefinitely until the end of the stage! I found that glitch when I was a kid.
That last one looked like a Super Mario Level from hell.

I remember playing SMB3 on the Wii Virtual Console. And I also remember beating it in one go. Something that I couldn't do because I was interested in playing my other Wii games at the time.
I recently found a circuit board of this game lying around in my garage. It works flawlessly (although it's a little difficult to boot) if put on a cart. A nice find! :D

about 2 years ago i played the all-stars version of super mario bros 3, and when i accidently fell down a hole in 1-1 or so, i glitched my screen and it took me to the final boss and eventually the end of the game, and this all happend in about 10 minutes. fastest speed runner here
it wasnt timed so no it dosent count ;)
If only it were recorded...
hmn... mention this at TASvideos.org.
This means that the GBA version is the hardest
This must be the first time that the 'Recommended video'-section actually worked! I love your work and subscribed! Hope to see you do a Did You Know Gaming video in the (near) future, you defenitely deserve more attention.

5:23: I've found this one too. Vines don't grow to their full length if you walk offscreen while they're still spawning.
Ive found a glitch in sonic forces classic sonic in level 10 there where C.sonic falls through the floor and most way down he will look forward as if you are M.sonic and your character start of the level view 😄
0:48 I knew this one, I made it tons of times in the GBA version, doesn't needs P-Wing :T
This one is also listed in the Mario 3 strategy guide from Nintendo Power.
I love this video i have watched it like 3 times in like 4 days.
And all your videos.
Best Mario game ever! So much fun! Game boy advance version is my favorite just because of the lines mario says when he gets power ups lol.
Wish video was in correct aspect ratio.
Is it just that the Nintendo Switch Online does it or is it an unused room? (The Bowser statue glitch)
this is before the switch even came out.
I'll never forget being a kid and spending hours just looking for secrets and glitches. I love this game it's the best Mario Bros in my opinion.
This game was so damn fun. Brings back memories of my childhood.
now for someone to test these in the Nintendo Entertainment app on the Switch
These glitches should still work if you're playing it on the switch online version because I have done the iconic Minus World one there a few times
I have to wonder how people find some of these unbelievably complicated glitches. And if they're wasting their lives on video games.
but not a+start. His channel is freaking amazing. why does he not have 2 million subs at least?
Ayyyyy mate fuck off.
BluePopsicleCereal I discovered a new glitch on Super Metroid when Ridley freezes completely I have it on TH-cam it's called Super Metroid Ridley Freeze glitch.
They study the way the game works and manipulate the code via certain actions, it's called "arbitrary code execution".
Ayy Lmao Y U KILL PEOPLE IN AGARIO
That last glitch just blow my mind!!! I wish I could do that!!
3:08 this glitch have got absolutely another result in SNES. In NES Mario glitched sprite will appear onscreen. In SNES if you get some 1-UPs at the end of level and prefer the glitch, 1-UPs sprite will glitch out and game softlocks. Nice.
