If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you watch "part one" here: th-cam.com/video/7Kzoc4pOvZU/w-d-xo.html. And if you've already seen it, then go watch it again, 'cause reasons.
Honestly, I probably would rewatch it, because your content is so good.
Edit: I always rewatch videos from you, so I don’t need a reason.
Good enough reason for me 😂
I already watched the clone one like 3 times. It never gets old 😂😂
I love your stuff
You should make the mushroom boys experimenting on all the coloured yoshis?
For the Toad scientists, they'd be perfect for a Jurassic Park themed scene with Yoshies. The laboratory prop would also work well with it.
My thoughts immediately went to this exact idea when brought that up in the video! I second this.
Bumping because this is SO perfect and I hope he sees your comment in time to do this lol
Had the same idea. Do this!
Or a giant piraña plant experiment gone wrong
is this stolen
What’s absolutely amazing about this is that on the first video, a guy named Kevin commented that you should use infinity mirrors to make it look like there are hundreds of them. He literally predicted the future
He probably gave him the idea
@@deiisirae shhh let him have his moment
@@deiisirae no because he said he was gonna use them for a future project 😳
He probably just took inspiration from the comment
@Garbage Guy they make sure the original Mario and Luigi don’t die
Love that the mirrors reflect their poses, so at a quick glance they actual look like distinct clones! Sucks half those Luigi clones are unusable though since their L's are backwards ;P
They are good for the mario kart double dash box art
Nah it's just Mr. L ^J^
Those ones get turned into waluigis
@@x3Lilly that's brilliant it's the Luigi's that find out the lies behind the power-ups and the one ups and all that which is why they're shunned by the entire Kingdom sets that they can't tell the truth
Always that one guy!
With all due respect Mr Miyamoto, these weren't the design choices we were curious about.
as a Sister Location enjoyer
i get that reference
Wow, this is actually genius! I honestly would like to see more stuff like this, maybe toad instead.
Edit: maybe toad would have a 1-UP painted as a regular mushroom in his head.
Edit 2: maybe make the toad scientists should be used for like a Yoshi lab, kinda like a Jurassic Park theme, with them making Yoshi eggs.
True
Choice 2 is genius
and mixing them wit like, koopa troopa dna.
You haven’t watched the whole thing yet
I was going to suggest having the toads overseeing an industrial mushroom farm, but gotta admit the Jurasic-Yoshi park sounds way cooler
oh HELL yeah. i love the reflecting mirrors trick- normally i see it in a fantasy / magical context but the sci fi cloning facility gives it a whole new spin!!
awesome pfp
Ok
They can't all be libraries, right?
Man, I just love watching artists work and do what they love doing
i gotta say this came up in my recommended and peaked my interest and i’m so glad i checked this out
this is like one of the coolest art projects i’ve ever seen and it’s masterfully done
absolutely fantastic work keep it up man
I'm laughing at the idea of a robber breaking into Adam's house and just seeing all of these horrifying yet amazing creations lining the shelves.
What happens when he hosts the neighborhoods Christmas dinner? 🤔
he confirmed he just throws them away after

@@Sonic-Maniac the video??

The true sorcery is hidden in those mirrors.
A nice concept would be maybe a goomba clones controlled by super mario cappy.
Cappy is terrifying enough in his own right
9:58 Imagine calling the blocks from super mario bros, "Block's from super Mario world"
Definately an " Aliens" film feel to it.
Very unique layout and marvelous Mario / Luigis pieces.
Cant get over your attention to detail , Mr North .
..even in the set and walls...
Love this mirror, never seen this before .
Its basically a see through mirror .....
..which works in the dark.

i know the acrylic tubes holding the characters up in the epoxy was supposed to be invisible, but it honestly gives it more detail to me. looking at it i couldn’t help but see them as sort of like “mechanical umbilical cords” that are feeding the clones the nutrients they need to grow. not the desired effect, but i think it turned out to be the right one. i wonder what it would look like if there was a way to drill up through them and somehow dye them green or something along those lines.
Yessssss
I thought this exact same thing!
Yeah the bad thing is I haven't watched the previous video so I thought that was literally what they were, and THEN I realized where the tubes were actually going and I was like "Oh..." XD
@@NotASpyReally to be fair, mouth tubes wouldn’t exactly work well and they are wearing overalls, so there really would only be one other entrance for feeding tubes
@@vbgvbg1133 Does the umbilical cord attach to the mouth? No.
Mario and Luigi not being symmetrical make the reflections look so cool and organic like there are truly infinite amounts of them and they are all a little different. Beautiful work as always.
Maybe an evil scientist Peach and her toad minions would be a nice addition?

GUYS LIKE THE COMMENT SO HE CAN SEE THIS
This is brilliant. Beautiful sculpting and infinity mirror effect. Well done.
I appreciate just how much of this process you show in these videos. Seeing all these disparate materials come together in this wholly different looking, imaginative display is always a joy.
I know you said that planning isn’t really your thing, but I just gotta ask: are there any drafts for visual concepts you do, or are all the little details on-the-spot improvisations based on what you feel fits best?
As for the scientist toads, I agree that they’re adorable. I think they’d be cool in a lab that creates power ups. A Ghostbusters-style scenario where they’re studying a ghost house or a flock of boos could also be fun.
It’s crazy how everything is the exact size you need it. Especially once you cut it to the size you need.
This has to be one of the most well executed infinity mirror builds ive been. The illusion looks so real, incredible job as always
Mimics be like:

Oh ye

@@bencoiris848yeah
I was hoping you'd do something with mirrors! This is awesome!
I love how their legs alternate in the reflections, it really lends itself to the illusion
A suggestion for the toad scientists; maybe they've opened a portal to a 2d Paper Mario world and are looking in on their alternate dimension selves?
Ohhh
i was about to suggest that!
Or an 8-bit Mario world since they're somewhat hi-def...
Great build! I approve of LED filaments for every use.
I found my solder after the fact, but the prayer and duct tape seems to work well enough for all future builds too
Very handy!
Exactly. The airport runways are going to look fabulous...
Just a little though.
Oh wow 2 of my favorite youtubers interacting
Creators like you make my day and blow me away.
What an awesome idea. Love the creativity here.
The only thing i can think of for the mushroom scientists is like….
“Why is princess Toadstool a human? She’s their queen, and she’s human?”
So maybe a mushroom monster lady or something?
Just a thought though!
I like to believe it’s the crown, but I don’t think that’s canon?
Real explanation is apparently she was adopted by the previous rulers.
Cool idea though!
You should keep the series going by making the clone room a part of a haunted mansion that Luigi may have inherited? Just an idea but seeing Luigi walk in on that room would be pretty cool
Yesss!
I love it it looks so realistic and cool and I love how the mirrors made it look like a long hallway with multiple of them you did a great job keep up great work❤❤❤
You make cool little nerdy things that I like. Thanks.
Let's be honest, the glue and prayer method of holding the light up combined with the metallic colors on a black primer gives the whole place a very distinct underground lab vibe and is the sort of worldbuilding I would want to write into a sci-fi horror novel. I love it so much, amazing job yet again!
I think this has to be my favorite "infinite mirror" diy I have seen, absolutely brilliant. It is too bad you cant seen the mushroom tube tops as well, but still, two thumbs up.
alternate title: how 1-ups actually work
Adding another tube light above each vat would probably be enough lighting for that, which would be amazing.
This is absolutely hilarious and lovely! what a great idea!
Your videos combine two of my favorite things; beautiful artworks and narrations by Mark Normand.
Absolutely incredible. When I see figures selling for hundreds of pounds, I ask "why the hell would people spend that much money for this", but if it was of this level of quality I hands down would be joining in with throwing my money away.
Truly, truly impressive work. I wish I were able to come even slightly close enough to this level of talent that I could make similar stuff.
And if you get bored of it, it works as just a fancy framed mirror!
You can do anything you want just practice and eventually you will be able to make stuff like this.
@@NorthoftheBorder and then you notice the transparent catheters in their asses. cant unsee that.
Love the clone Mario idea. Two thoughts for the Toads, 1) make a lab where a Mario clone went wrong and resulted in Wario or 2) in a more Jurassic Park vein- have a lab where Yoshi was grown and escaped. Either way, Toad scientists die.
With the wario idea, no toadstool traces would be left
@@ruinhunter2281 true
@@aprilcaldwell9457 my favourite part was when warriors said it’s “waaa” and waaaed all the toads
Wow man this is gnarly! Love Mario and Luigi being in the test tubes looks crazy cool!
Once again, you made something awesome. I love it 😊
I'm completely blown away by this. The creativity, the meticulous attention to detail, the paint job. The whole thing is absolutely amazing. As a artist myself, I am both humbled and inspired by your talent.🤘
i read that as "the malicious attention to detail", and didn't even question it because it was so on brand for him
I love this! It looks so cool! I feel like you should put the lab and the Toads on the top of the entire box.
My new favorite North of the Border creation!
So that would mean if the mario brothers ever went mad from having to save peach over and over again they could start and win a war in the mushroom kingdom with an army of themselves. That’s very reassuring.
Also you saying that it is clear by now that you do not have a plan reminds me of the joker calling himself an agent of chaos despite planning out every single detail of what will happen.
Jesus no!
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
@@wigligigly3375 no, we have literally never met
@peter No 🔥
love the part 2 format. Would definitely be interested in seeing more stuff where you add on to previous projects. Maybe more planets being destroyed by inter dimensional beings.
So many TH-camrs seem to drive themselves crazy trying to fit big projects into videos. Just make them a series! It’s awesome to see that continuity.
Absolutely love this keep up that amazing work!!!
Practical effects in film making are just unbeatable
The science toads could be in a lab engineering super Yoshis for the infinite Mario brothers. Or breaking down and creating the typical power ups you collect in the games.
Great work as usual!
This was awesome to watch and the ending shots were so satisfying. Took me a second to figure out why each 'clone' looked different from the one next to it. I haven't actually seen some one do an asymmetrical item in an infinity mirror before. At first glance it looks like all the clones are in slightly different positions which makes it look some much more interesting!
As for the toads I was going to suggest having them, with a lead scientist Princess Peach, making Bowser in a lab as a kind of origin story. Who doesn't like a 'creation turned on its creator' story. But then I saw a comment about a Jurassic park yoshi diorama and I like that idea too... as long as Peach is still apart of it.
bro i love ur creativity this is great
you really do make some of the coolest nerdy stuff, I would love to have anything you make in the arcade
My first thought with the Toads was "Oh, they're growing the Super Crown". You know, that crown that Toadette can wear that turns her into a Peach clone? The Toads probably had to make that, I think. Or maybe they're making power-ups in general and you can pick your favorites.
Wait, what did I just read? Let's rewind. Can you elaborate for me?
@@steamfunk6889 I think it would be neat to utilize the Toad scientists in a scene where they're engineering power-ups for Mario and friends to use. The first power-up that comes to mind for me is the Super Crown, which looks like it contains a mushroom and is meant to work specifically on Toadette.
@@Dukeofnachos I've never heard of the Super Crown. That, and the fact that I initially read that Princess Toadstool has a powerup that turns her into Peach, which would have some VERY interesting lore implications, made me double take lol
i'd say that a use for the toads is:
Make a scenario of them studying Bowser's Body, or even if you want it, put bowser in a X-ray chamber, so half of his body is actually See through and the toads studying him
This gives me haunted mansion vibes. Like that endless hallway. Nice knowing how they did that effect.
This came out so sick!
I always thought North of the Border meant Canada. The dialect also seems basically Canadian/ American. Learned something new (along with the double mirror trick). Nice job!
I think he was from Canada? Isn't his logo a maple leaf too?
Well I’m sure that there are a lot of american viewers and sure that a lot of them wouldn’t watch his content if he paraded that he was scottish. It’s a very adam thing to do as well, I think.
I believe he's originally from Canada but moved to Scotland, which is why the name: Canada is north of the US border and Scotland north of the English.
@@dodgeremerson This is actually genius.
@@JACKHARRINGTON ???????
I NEED merch with "Planning isn't really something I do here" I would love that 😂
And btw: it's always so impressive to see how much creativity you have and how you come up with so many new ideas in such short time frames!!
I love your humor, and the work was pretty good to.
It's cool how the foreground tubes refract the line of "clone" tubes in the background, makes it believable that there actually is a long line of tubes going down the hall.
I'd love to see a backrooms diorama. You could use a similar trick to give an illusion of infinite halls. You could shove the toads in there as well if you wanted lol
Amazing idea
omg yes
Ummm... YES
seeing my fave hobby builders mention each other in their videos always feels like a fun little easter egg (boylei, studson, north, etc)
very cool, something to note is the "copies" will be alternating between normal and mirrored so it is best to try and use simetrical props that are hard to distinguish when they are mirrored. For luigi unfortunately it easy to tell due to his L on his hat.
For reference, see 3:38 😂😉
this 2 parter is still one of my favourite pieces youve done
I think you should keep expanding this, continue to add bits and bobs some new rooms even until eventually you have a massive mario making laboratory.
i love how the mirrors swap the positions of mario and luigi as it goes down the line, very creative and super beautiful to look at (:
This looks amazing, hall of clones looks great. Where do you get the two way mirrors from? Been wanting to give this kind of thing a go but struggling to find them anywhere.
Awesome work, as always! I believe the hardest part of this project, for Adam, was avoiding a face reveal 🤭😄
I really enjoy that because they're mirrored, they aren't the same as the one next to them. Really makes it look like a full hallway
Hey North, do you have a room where you display your statues? If yes, then PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO TOUR! Btw I’ve done some similar “floating creature in tank” animation, made it breath and drop bubbles :)
Adam mentioned in several videos that he's selling his art pieces, as otherwise they would just gather dust on his shelves, forgotten.
But for those he still has, I totally agree it would be rad to have a tour!
@@jaromir_kovar I thought it was just for the patrons, or that he just sold the ones he didn’t like best
@@jaromir_kovar he no longer sells pieces actually. I messaged him on Patreon and he said due to shipping issues he no longer does.
@peter yoooo Peter, what you doing here man
@peter th-cam.com/users/shorts2dIoZVCnfJ0?feature=share
This is by far amazing!!
I see this as the "Behind the Curtain" view into one of the real world horrors that is Mario Bros! Either as a twisted take on a "Free Life" box or as the giants awaiting the choice of which Bros to morph out as! I could see making a comedy horror story where it's a Documentary on technologies, wonders, and terrors of playing the game!
This turned out really well - reminds me of your book nooks you used to do. The frame block painting was actual witchcraft and the lights look really snazzy
Where do you store all these when you’re done with them?, I’m sure everyone would LOVE to see a full tour of all your past projects
He did a mini tour on his Patreon!
@@NateSearson yes, but the problem is that not many people have bought his patreon
The lab is a good idea man, it's like a second ago it was this cute and friendly lab, and boom, it's human subject research
So good! Awesome toad scientist, as well
Hey North, although it may take some time, what you can do with the toads is make a laboratory with different rooms in it (Mario/Luigi cloning station, Yoshi hatchery, etc.)
Psst: his name's Adam. At least, I'm pretty sure that's why he says "my name is Adam," at the top of every episode.
@@simianimp Liar!
@@simianimp thanks
Hell yeah I love the mirror builds, they're so cool
that is really cool. good job
This must be what 1UPs do in the games - Just summon a clone when you die? Nice work! 😎
9:00 make doctor mario themed hospital room and the toads are doctors.
I love this Mario series so much!! I got a few ideas for you. How about the Koopalings? You can change Ludwig’s hair into a frill, make Morton’s star-eye have a scar instead, and instead of making Roy pink just “because he’s pink” he could be albino. Anyway, if you don’t see this or have the time to do it, those are just my thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!!
thats a pretty neat decoration for somebodies desk
Wow, I just found your channel and my kids and I love it! We would love to see Toothless from a how to train your dragon.

this looks so cool. due to the mirror images mario and green mario even alternate their orientation within their tubes. Maye you can build your little toad lab on top? maybe like a research area with a secret cloning basement?
Love that idea!
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They're always so impressive, uplifting, and humorous! Have a lovely/better day!

Looks very good!
the toad laboratory sounds like it would’ve been such a cool idea 😳
Genuinely one of the coolest things you've built, and that's saying something. Absolutely loved the final product.
"And providing you with top quality second monitor content" Ironically one of the few times I watched this on my MAIN monitor thank you. For real though second monitor content just means I can watch it again and again while doing other things. Absolute fire
nice
I noticed the "Boylei, I'm sorry", nice touch
This explains the whole lore behind Mario's extra lives and continues...
10:37
*Finger-guns back*
In all seriousness this whole thing is stupidly impressive - great touch with the cool boarder 👍
Loved this idea! Its awesome that every clone is reversed from the previous so they dont look all the same. Mirrors! I personally think it would be better if u could add a bit more lighting somehow.
Me too. Something, something hindsight, though.
those scientist toads would be perfect for the mad science lab for mushroom power testing and gadgets Mario seems to find around so easy on his adventures!
Use the scrapped toad scientists and monitor setup for a new diorama. You could make a "video screen" that's monitoring Mario/Luigi on their adventures (ie: it's the TV that the game is being played on), with the toads framing the bottom.
I love just hearing his voice and what he does it’s just calming
It’s such a shame as the lab and toadie scientists looked so good!
Amazing build.. probably one of my favourites so far!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the frame!
