Without a doubt one of the best internet essays I have ever seen. the editing is indcredible, the topic is interesting, and the style is outstanding. Thank you for this masterpiece .
I had a fun time watching your video, there were a couple of times that I thought about what I should comment about while I was watching, but it was funny how you sort of answered those thoughts a couple of minutes later, such as how I thought about how interconnected the worlds feel in the Donkey Kong Country series, and how that game world feels like natural since the platforming kind of makes sense, as there weren't really any platforms just floating up in the air, like there tends to be for most of the Mario series, where all forms of logic just flies straight out the window, but you talked about that and even showed footage of the DKC games, and I also have to agree that it feels cheap how the devs designed the secret worlds for those games, because you aren't really rewarded for exploring the stages in the game, its just a collectathon chore where unless you collect everything you can't see all there is to see, unlike how Super Mario World just allowed you to randomly come across secret exits and stuff, and then immediately rewarded your curiosity by showing you cool interesting stuff later, such as when you first encounter the different colored Yoshi's in Star World, as its the only place where you can find those Yoshi's at except maybe for the Blue Yoshi, where there are a lot of levels that have the wings that turn any Yoshi blue to fly those alternate routes, which honestly I kinda wish that they did more with that idea, as it would have been fantastic to have some secret exits and stuff be hidden behind places, where you needed a specific colored Yoshi to progress, as besides them being in the Star World, there really is no other purpose for them, and thats sort of a shame considering that you can take them with you to any sort of level out there, and I kinda feel that they did the Blue Yoshi a little dirty, as the guy in Star World literally is shown in an underwater level, yet he doesn't have any special properties for being in the water, despite the fact that technically his egg being in that water level means that he should be a Yoshi species suited for water, so it would have been amazing if he would've had better swimming or something, just to make him stand out against all the other Yoshis, because technically all the other Yoshis can fly with either a blue shell or wings, and I still wish that they all had unique abilities to them, but I believe that the staff behind Super Mario World didn't have additional time to work on the game, as they had to crunch in order to make the game a launch title for the SNES, but I sometimes wonder if maybe those devs kind of had ideas like that to make the game more unique, as I really like a lot of the changes that they made for the GBA Super Mario World remake, but its a shame that they didn't give Super Mario Advance 2 the same treatment they gave Super Mario Advance 4 (SMB3), because that other game has a ton of new additions that weren't in Super Mario Bros 3, through the use of the E reader cards, and I would have liked that they had done something similar with Super Mario World, as to me it always felt as the superior game. PS. I think you should look up Super Mario World level by MM102, as that person literally created a whole level to play with just the overworld sprite which was pretty genius and unique to all the romhacks and weird stuff out there.
14:50 The player has some context, because someone in the castle says "HELP". So the player can see that he is probably helping someone. Riveting storytelling.
how this guy have only 200 views??? the content of this channel it's incredibly well done I thought it was a channel with thousands of views due to the type of editing and the duration of the videos. He deserve more views and subs
Thank you for the kind words it means a lot :) I try to have a mindset of “focus on improving your content instead of your numbers”. Not to say wanting viewers is a bad thing, but I want to improve my skills first and foremost! Plus, advertising them makes me feel a lil scummy tbh haha.
I would like to point out that a certain GB Donkey Kong game that starred Mario had quite an interesting world that you actually progressed through and could even find hints of what the next ones were if you paid attention!
I don't think I've ever seen a person care this much about what's going on in the story of a 2D Mario game. Good video though. Surprised it doesn't have more views.
The worlds of Odyssey were supposed to be more separate, because they were originally set in alternate dimensions. Earlier on before the game was released and things were finalized, the way the game was talked about from Nintendo gave the impression that you'd be going between different universes (which makes sense following Galaxy 1/2), where as in the final game they made it on all take place on this one world globe + the moon and the other side of the moon, and the other other side, and the other-er side. Now maybe I'm just imagining or remembering things wrong, but come on look at the game and tell me that wasn't the idea. It explains why you even go to something Dark Souls, and the nightmare before hat-christmas worlds. Just how otherworldly the Hat world at the start of the game even was, so much more of the games settings make more sense if you're going to different dimensions. Even the world full of "Humans" of New Donk City isn't quite right for the type of humans we've seen in the Mario universe before.
Excellent video man, I think now that worst game mode in Super Smash Bros got popular (what is also a good video, I Just prefer this one) , this Channel will get 1K subs in no time!
New Super Mario Bros. was great IMO. The first original 2D Mario in a long time and one which properly modernised Mario with new graphics and by incorporating some moves from newer Mario games. Many of the levels were also very fun and create and the Mega Mushroom, Mini Mushroom, and Blue Koopashell are all really fun too use and are great power-ups. New Super Mario Bros. is like A Link to the Past in this regard: Both games were innovative at the time and were really fun. But both games were so good that their ideas got recycled many times over. And as a result, both games are sometimes seen as not innovative by people who first played the modern games which copied NSMB or ALttP, and then played NSMB or ALttP because those people sometimes get a reversed perspective, that is, they see history as if the newer games came before the older games. I think that when viewed in context of the time in which NSMB was released, many people might consider the game to be pretty good (as is suggested by it's great sales). At the very least I know I do. (Though I think ALttP is better and was more innovative.) BTW More on-topic, I agree that NSMB's world is bad even though I like the game as a whole.
52:05 As a principled person myself, I tend to find that most people don't give a fuck about principles, this argument falls flat on most people unfortunately.
going from mushroom kindgom to mushroom world implies that between mario 1 and mario 3, princess peach was just colonizing also sorry about not having anything else to offer with my comment, i haven't finished the video yet and i was using the bathroom when that thought came into my mind
That could be a possibility, but what throws me off is how each kingdom across Mario 3 has their own separate king/leader, which is who you save from Bowser's magic at the end of each world. So the way I see it, Mario 3 was showing us what lies beyond the mushroom kingdom specifically (peaches territory).
You trashing on the ability to warp to the end in mario 1 and 3 but skipped over going straight to bowser from donut plains and star road is a war crime. you dont have to play levels in every sub world. telling lies of omission to make your point better is is telling lies.

Underrated TH-camr imo
This is an excellent video and sums by my thoughts on this type of design perfectly.
Ayo thanks for the kind words :D

An hour long TrashBoat Inc. video?! We have truly been blessed.

This video gave me a newfound appreciation for the little details in SMW. Trashboat, You truly have a knack for this. Keep it up!

awesome video
So you are saying city escape is garbage when I can cause multiple acts of vehicular manslaughter?
Mhh well now that you put it that way that certainly IS world building in some regard 🤔

2:36 I forgot about the fact for some reason they put a level there lol
They went a bit wild in the office that day
Where does Mario maker 2 fit into overworld design??
It could be the best or it could be the worst! It’s up to the player to decide that hehe
i was da pool boy
