The Nintendo Iceberg: A Deeper Look

  • Join me as I talk my way through the Nintendo iceberg, with my own personal anecdotes, opinions, and theories behind the many strange and mysterious points this iceberg has to offer!
    (by the way, I recorded the audio for this video while getting over being sick, so, sorry if my voice sounds a bit different!)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is a small section I'm adding for missed facts, or things I got blatantly false, that I would like to add here for posterity. Comment if you feel something should be added to this list!
    1. The Super Mario 64 "so long'a bowser" quote was originally removed from the "Shindou Pak Taiou" version. basically, a version of Super Mario 64 with rumble, and some fixed glitches/oddities, such as no longer being able to do backwards long jumping, a popular speedrunning technique.
    2. the hell valley sky trees return in WarioWare Get it Together on the Switch, and with that, Nintendo officially acknowledging them.
    3. Mario's stereotypical Italian accent provided by Charles Martinet, can be blamed in regards to many mishearing "so long'a bowser", sort of like how he says "it's'a me, mario!" I didn't think this was something that needed to be said, as it's a bit obvious how heavy Mario's accent is, but I get comments about it a lot so I'll include it.
    4. In regards to Metroid's Justin Bailey password, samus having the pink leotard and green hair isn't a unique color pallet. it's the color that she changes to when she wears the Varia suit. that's it. the color is NOT special or something given to samus because of the password. when samus doesn't have the varia suit, but is wearing the leotard, she has reddish brown hair, and this switches to blonde when you switch weapons to missles. when you have the varia suit equipped, her hair simply changes shades of green. I always thought Justin Bailey was unique because the color samus takes, but no. its just special because it gives you everything, including the varia suit equipped right from the start, hence the green hair.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (I used so many songs in this video, it would be quite a task to name them all, so, if you're curious about any, just leave a comment and I'll do my best to get the song name for you!)

    Mario actually says "So long, eh Bowser?!". The reason the line is missing in the Switch version is because it's actually the japanese Shindou version, which added Rumble Pak support and the Peach voice over that was previously not in the original japanese version. The line "So long, eh Bowser?!" is missing from every japanese version and the reason is that, in Japan, Bowser is not named Bowser, but rather "Kuppa". So, having Mario randomly calling him Bowser in one of the voice lines would have just confused japanese players. Since the Switch version is the Shindou version on which a patch for textures and language is applied, it makes sense why the line cannot be heard there. Hope I was able to explain this well!
    EDIT: I didn't think this comment would be this popular! Thanks for the MANY people who reminded me he says King and not eh. I learned that a long time ago but for some reason, a memory of someone saying it was "Eh" left a bigger impression on me so I guess it took over my memories. Thanks for many replies though.

      I feel so dumb, not knowing about the Shindou version. I've gotten multiple comments already specifically about this, so it seems to be common knowledge, but totally went over my head. I really wish I could update videos after uploading them and replace them without it having to be an entirely new video. Oh well. I do appreciate you all pointing these things out though! I do plan to make a video going over all my mistakes, and this will certainly be on there!

      Well, technically, you guys know that RNG is 100% dependent upon Hexadecimal set values and their specific, key‐logged values which produce the numerator/denominator ratios of variability, which is based mostly on interactive, and often even unacknowledged, yet still tracked, and stored basically as telemetric data, and recorded IRL as input/output log reference statistics. So, technically, i hate to be this guy but, You COULD actually affect the RNG ratios for wild encounter/shiny or vary the probability of encountering a certain pokémon. Even up to the point of glitching a particular pokémon into a generation/region/place that it, nor any pokémon, are supposed to be encountered. So this means you could discover a way to tap/hold the buttons during a catch, which could allow for a more solid catch/miss percentage ratio. Like how you can just "Reload Save State", with an Emulator, you could just repeat the random encounter until the pokémon ends up Shiny, or the one you want, or like i said you can glitch, whichnthat itself has certain RNG effects, but i digress. I'm sorry to even do this...may God have mercy on my soul

    The change in switch port is actually because of bowser’s new sexual identity. He used to be gay, but recently found out he was attracted to women, which mean he is actually bisexual. Mario, being an ally of the LGTBQ+ community, respected his new orientation, which is why when you throw him he says “Bye, Bi”.

      Anyway, why Nintendo would allow Mario degrading Bowser with such homophobic quotes? Even if Bowser is gay or bi, Nintendo will never be allowed to let that go. Otherwise, Mario never say that it was an ally, and will never say it any way, because of the low rating games. Is not because I don't support the LGBTQ+ community, is because logically, an homophobic insult is like being racist with someone, and allowing a family-friendly character saying that is just weird and a little shocking

    Not a correction, but an addition and fun fact
    The fact that the original Legend of Zelda's dungeon maps line up so perfectly is actually by design - it's how they were able to most efficiently fit the data on the cartridge. What's neat is the programmer realized he had made an error in determining how much data they had to work with and had only used half of the available space for the 9 dungeons, so they made some more and that's how the second quest came to be.

The consequences for spoiling things is that you enjoy more of the game's content. The game would be near impossible without trading rumors with other players, and the active chat will definitely engage in that without ruining the fun, but the game is absolutely enhanced by also looking at the guides.

    Arbitrary Code Execution ("ACE") is basically a way to make the game or program execute code it wasn't supposed to execute.
    This is often relevant to viruses and hacking, but can also be applied to games.
    For example Super Mario World can be beaten in less than 1 minute, because you can make the game execute code which immediately jumps you to the credits scene.

    Actually what disproves the triforce, being obtainable in OOT, is the fact that when Link, pulls the master sword, Ganondorf, gets into the sacred realm to obtain it himself so the triforce is located in the sacred realm, and when he went to pick it up it was split into three pieces, and the reason he needs to bring Zelda, Link, and him together to obtain the complete triforce to rule, so it’s spilt up after the childhood timeline before the sword is pulled the first time.

    Fun fact: Despite Stop ‘N’ Swop being scrapped for the N64, a use for it was found by the Paper Mario speedrunning community. By using a series of glitches in Ocarina of Time, it’s possible to store certain data in the expansion pack. This data is not cleared when starting up Paper Mario, so a series of glitches there allows you to execute the stored data, warping you to the end of the game. The whole speedrun takes less than half an hour.

So, one of the things I did with this newfound power was to set up the warp point to the entrance to the kokiri forest and race the running man, using my powers of exploit to warp to the finish line.

      keep and mind by 1990 Nintendo was primarily focusing on their new console the Super Famicom, in fact Super Mario World started development for the Super Famicom in 1988 right after Super Mario Bros. 3 released in Japan
      Link to the Past started development in 1989 and was always intended to be a Super Famicom game and not once was it ever a Famicom nor NES game
      the Famicom by the end of 1990 was more or less a dead platform so why would Nintendo focus on making a sequel for a dead console?
      while the NES was still doing well around the same time, Nintendo didn't really focus too hard on their 8-bit system compared to their new 16-bit one especially since it wouldn't be long until Nintendo released the Super Nintendo internationally

    1:24:00 there's a pretty substantial length of time between when a game is finished and when it's actually released, during which time it has to be rated, QA tested, and have physical copies manufactured.

    If the "subliminal message" in the Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros 1 shown at 2:43:15 reminds you of something, it may be because it's basically the same thing as the "subliminal message" in the original Lion King where people looked at a bunch of fireflies(?) and thought they spelled out the word "sex."
    I think that's also what the old TH-cam video shown in this video is trying to hint at, since you tilt your head a bit and "read" the moss textures diagonally, you can _kinda_ see it thanks to the blurry resolution of the upload, though needless to say, I can see why this one didn't get picked up by any gaming news outlets or other official sources, lol.

    Id say the major difference between args and creepy pastas is user interaction. Args, for best effect, make use of videos or websites or occassionally real life locations to help sell its storytelling. A great example of an arg is "This House Has People In It." Which while on the surface is just sort of a strange video. But has actual websites that you can visist and interact with to continue learning more and "unlocking" the story further.

    This brought back memories from my childhood playing Metroid on NES with my little brother. We were playing around with the password screen and entering random letters and numbers and sometimes we'd randomly have success and be started on a random part of the game or with power ups. We also borrowed a GameShark from a friend for N64 and put in random characters all night and ended up somehow hard coding Invincibility and Big Head mode onto Goldeneye, I don't know how this is possible but they were on the cartridge from then on.

    On Tara A Devlin's video-I watch her religiously. She specializes in popular japanese creepy pastas from the 2000's and translates them into English. So basically internet culture from a decade or more ago written in anonymous forums. Shes the only one doing it, so there isnt much crossover into English which is what makes her channel so special. It's very, very niche-stuff you will NEVER know unless you speak japaense fluently AND know where to look. Basically, EVERYTHING on that channel is talking about things from the perspective of a Japanese person in Japan, speaking Japanese. She has such great insight into their internet culture that you wont find anywhere else.
    It isnt surprising at all that you couldnt find anything about it. Tara is most likely the first person to translate it into English. If you were searching in Japanese, you would have found much more results.

    I believe the reason the shadow for luigi is messed up (making him look like he is floating) is because the light in the scene is below the floor.
    The reason why there would be no shadow for the floor is because the 3D model for the room has no backface. (backface culling: When a computer does not render both sides of a polygon to render twice as fast)

    Green-hair Samus is just what she looks like with the Varia Suit upgrade, but without the suit graphics. You can start the game as the brown haired one and it will turn green after getting the Varia Suit, so there is loads of codes that can produce a green-haired Samus. Also on the subject of the NES Metroid, kind of surprised you didn't include the secret worlds/hidden zones. Though it seems like whoever made this list grew up in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s, where as the secret worlds was more of a late 80s early 90s rumor (though I remember a site dedicated to them in the early 2000s and what they were was still not completely known).
    Also the "Pegasus Boots" were the name of the boots that let you run super-fast in the ALttP (SNES), so it would be logical to claim those were hidden in OOT if you were going to lie that there were boots that let you run fast.

  • @liddolbee
    @liddolbee ปีที่แล้ว +21

    love the video! overall really well researched, i only have one minor correction that honestly doesn't matter that much, but here it is: ben drowned has always been an ARG and never really a creepypasta in my opinion even though it was easily lumped in with the likes of sonic.exe and lavender town syndrome. it's not a new thing for it to be considered as one even though ARGs are CONSIDERABLY more popular to make than they were 10+ years ago. what separates a spooky ARG from a creepypasta is that a creepypasta is normal one or multiple installments of a story being told in a singular format (however at most i've seen creepypastas be text AND video which is still only two formats), but an ARG almost always requires people to interact with it-- piecing the clues together, people working together to scour through websites or hidden messages in code, and in ben drowned's case, interacting with posts/websites made by characters in the story of the ARG to make the story progress. even though the story of ben drowned is very close to my heart and i know a decent amount about it, even i didn't know it was an ARG for years! it's really easy to consume the story without knowing that people had to make it progress, especially with the ARG being over now. it also had a sort of reboot/continuation 2 years ago which i don't know too much about bc it scared the crap out of me too much to watch though lol, so it's guaranteed there's even stuff that i wouldn't know about ben drowned let alone the average person

    • @NEScRETRO

      did Ben Drowned really have a lot of viewer interaction with it? the only thing I remember from being present at the time of the development was going on cleverbot and asking it about ben, and it would acknowledge what you were talking about and reply things in regards to Ben Drowned, which I always thought was really cool, but outside that, I'm not sure if the ARG aspects took off much. I wasn't involved with Ben Drowned during the whole moon children cult thing, so, is that when it started to be more "ARG"? thanks for the comment, I'd really like to learn more!

    • @liddolbee
      @liddolbee ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@NEScRETRO first of all thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate it and here's the best answer I can give you: for sure the ARG really kicked off during the whole moon children cult thing, which is one of the parts of ben drowned story I didn't know until I took a deep dive into it when Night Mind made a video about it back in 2016, and that Night Mind video (titled Ben Drowned: The Full Story & ARG) could definitely explain all of this way better than I could lol so I'd highly recommend checking it out. I should say it can get a bit complicated and convoluted, so if you wanna dive into learning more about it yourself, don't expect it to be concise and easy to follow; in fact this lack of conciseness is a reason why I don't know every nook and cranny of the story and ARG of ben drowned, let alone the continuation of it in 2020. I'd also like to say again, most people who watched the videos on Jadusable's channel or read the 4chan posts (i.e, consumed the story) throughout when it got really popular had no idea it was into ARG territory, so your understanding of the story wasn't wrong by any means and I wanna make sure I'm not coming off as an "umm actually" type of commenter lol

    • @NEScRETRO
      @NEScRETRO  ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the video was a lot of people's first introduction to vinesauce, and that bit is kinda iconic lol. i guess it could be in reference to a lot of things, since a lot of things have been called super mario 65. the fangame thing is probably just as likely.

    Dude I love you man, you had me crying when you were talking about how the dynamic background is not really that dynamic 🤣 and don't feel bad about the settings, I still go the long route when accessing my settings, honestly I rarely use the tabs at the top and I miss my games and apps being in the block on the lower left corner, like there are way too many shortcuts just to go to the store which I rarely ever go to unless I'm looking for something specific, my opinion , I really like how they added events and my friends post and updates to the home screen but I think it'd be really cool if they added those to the tabs up top and they had their own dedicated page or tab bar

    God I love how freaking long this vid is, I normally have a crap ton of time on my hands and 30 min vids about a topic I’m interested in simply not cutting it. Thanks for these videos I truly appreciate it

    The Pokémon Luigi one is kinda funny because there did eventually end up being a pokémon you had to hold your console upside-down to evolve, Inkay!

    The fact that the justin bailey only gives ALMOST every weapon shows its coincidence.
    On top of that, it is not a custom colour. Its the varia suit equivilant.
    The suitless look is normally acquired by restarting the game after one of the two best endings, the code is just easier.
    You could use the code "000000 000020 000000 000020" to get basic suitless samus, then play until you get the varia suit to see?

    26:01 The version of SM64 that is being used in the Switch All Stars is the updated Shindou version which was exclusive to Japan and over there he is called King Koopa that is why the line is just bye bye.

    I think the ironic part about alot of the pokemon hoaxes is that these very oddly specific ways to evolve into some super powerful pokemon sort of became ways to evolve pokemon in later games, like for example inkay evolving by holding your 3ds or controller upside-down as it levels up
