After so many people asked for it and months of work the Evolution of Super Mario is finally here! Next week we'll release the second episode :) Thanks for Squarespace for sponsoring this video, go to www.squarespace.com/flatlife to get a free trial and 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain!
Quick side note: The original Super Mario Bros 2 (the Japanese version) was released to America via Super Mario All-Stars on the Super Nintendo. The Famicom Disk System version WAS released via the Virtual Console on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS afterwards.
Even though the Mario Archie comics sadly didn’t get to happen, The Super Mario adventures comic is everything I’d want in a super Mario movie and I’ve heard the Movie is taking some inspiration from the comic and that has me hyped! :)
Fun Fact: the blocks and question marks in the first Super Mario Bros. game in 1985 were actually people in the Mushroom Kingdom who had been turned into blocks by Bowser!
The ,90 children, seem to had the best era of music and entertainment in the world. Will never be another era of us. Children again. The parents , must felt like , a change happen but didn't realize their sacrifice , of the children made that happen.
7:23 CORRECTION Super Mario Bros 2 was actually localized in the US as “The Lost Levels” WAY before the Wii. I was part of the Super Mario Allstars game for the Super Nintendo back in 1993
Incorrect information at 7:15 Super Mario Lost Levels came out internationally in 1993 as a part of the Super Mario All-Stars bundle for SNES! 14 years before it released on VC in 2007, as claimed in this video.
Fun fact about the International version of Super Mario Bros. 2. It was a prototype for a vertical & horizontal scrolling platform game & the designers put Mario elements into it. But a promotional deal came through with Fuji TV so the team adapted the promotional characters into this prototype. So while Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic had different characters than what would become International Super Mario Bros. 2... ...spiritually this was ALWAYS a Mario game from the outset. That's why you see POW Blocks in the Doki Doki Panic version of the game. That's from Mario Bros. arcade. And if you notice the design of Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3 matches his International Super Mario Bros. 2 appearance in comparison to the one seen Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. The whole thing with Power Jumps & Holding Objects was carried over into Super Mario Bros. 3 in different ways. Even Bob-Omb who came from International Super Mario Bros. 2 was carried over into Super Mario Bros. 3. So in effect, the Americans got the REAL sequel to Super Mario Bros. while the Japanese got a Hard Mode Expansion Pack as a sequel. That's why I call Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 "Super Mario Bros. 1.2" instead. It's not a true 2 to me. And that's why internationally that game is called "The Lost Levels". Super Mario Bros. 3 perfected the seamless vertical/horizontal scrolling they attempted in International Super Mario Bros. 2. So Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros. 2 will always have more connected to Super Mario Bros. 3 because of that.
Well said. Also, Doki Doki Panic had 2 more Mario elements: the Super Star which carries the same power and effect as in Super Mario Bros 1, and Mario's coins. Did I mention Mario's coins also emulate the exact same 8 bit sound from his first Bros game in Doki Doki? 😎
@@hectorcollazo8845 EXACTLY! And isn't it true that Shigeru Miyamoto was more involved with International Super Mario Bros. 2 than he was with Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2? The Starman & the Coins you mentioned along with the POW Block not to mention Bob-Omb PROVE that OUR Super Mario Bros. 2 was probably the true sequel all along!
@@johnlucas1543 Yes, Mr.Miyamoto was greatly involved. Nintendo of Japan had already canonized the Western version before its release. One other detail I forgot to mention is that Peach's 8 bit sprite in SMB2 was copy pasted or based off of it at the end of SMB3 if you look closely. 🧐
*Let's a go!* - Mario and Luigi, various games *Mama mia!* - Mario and Luigi, various games *Mario time!* - Mario, various games *Luigi time!* - Luigi, various games *Mario number one!* - Mario, various games *Luigi number one!* - Luigi, various games Anyway, I love Mario Brothers! You can do it and keep it up!
This is one evolution I've been hoping for for quite some time! Can't wait to see how many episodes this one will have, especially compared to the Evolution of Sonic the Hedgehog. Also, one thing I liked from the _Super Mario Bros. Super Show_ was all of King Koopa's (AKA Bowser's) alter egos in many of their episodes. Two of my most favorites are Professor Koopa-arity in _The Adventures of Sherlock Mario_ and Al Koopone in _The Unzappables._
Wasn't Lost Levels included in the All Stars Nintendo game in America? I know it was in Europe as I have the game. Really really hard. Otherwise amazing video's, hard to believe you don't have ten times the subs! Enjoying the sh*t out of these videos, keep it up!
I have seen what grow up with Mario, The one Figure that stands out as a Father figure of all video games. And can we all appreciate these comics, artworks, games and of course it's characters. Mario is truly Number One Even though I come for Mario
There's another fun fact you forgot to add: Super Mario Bros. is also best known for saving the video game industry from the crash of 1983 alongside the NES.
Before i comment, i just wanna say that TH-cam NEEDS TO ADD RECAPTCHA ON THE TH-cam COMMENT SECTION SO YOU'LL NEVER SEE SPAM COMMENT BOTS ON TH-cam EVER
I remember make request if this channel can make evolution of Mario or Crash Bandicoot because Sonic already have. And here we are now to know evolution and journey of Mario franchise thank you Flatlife
Today Is my bday and it's a charm to see this becuase it's been 10 years since I played my first ever game Mario bros Wii. And another great video from flatlife!
This video is factually inaccurate. For example “The Lost Levels” wasn’t available first in 2007 outside of Japan. It was part of Super Mario All Stars, released in Europe and the US in 1993 for the SNES.
Fun Fact: Id software, the creators of wolfenstein, doom and quake, made a super mario brothers 3 port prototype for PC's. Not a fangame, not a ripoff... Super Mario Brothers 3.

@Slipstreamz Mario is not just a legend... He is a God.
Mario is GOD of the Nintendo-verse!
Do an evolution of Samsung phones PLZ! :D
Don't Forget the Super Mario Land!
This Mario video is getting me more hyped to see the Super Mario Bros Movie. Thank you, Flatlife.
Me too, I can't wait to see the movie! Thank you too!
Same
We’re planning to see it in theaters.
@@Flatlife thanks 🥹🥹🥹
Ditto
Those super show theme songs are the best thing to grace Mario!
You know what…….YOU haven’t aged well…
11:24 I’m sorry but The Mario Rap has aged EXTREMELY well tbh
Something about your voice and animation style is so appealing to me. It's like an addiction to watch you explain all the classics to us.
Looks likes Nintendo like to watch this video
Looking for a reason to copyright strike it
@@IaconDawnshire say it again plz
All the Lost Levels footage is from the remastered version included for a collection of 4 of the classic 8-bit games, Super Mario All-Stars.
Quick side note: The original Super Mario Bros 2 (the Japanese version) was released to America via Super Mario All-Stars on the Super Nintendo. The Famicom Disk System version WAS released via the Virtual Console on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS afterwards.
Thanks for mentioning this. I’ve got lots of memories of playing The lost Levels as a child in the All-Star pack for SNES.
Thank you for being one of the few people to call this guy for having some factually incorrect information especially pertaining to the Lost Levels.
More like the found levels…cause they aren’t lost anymore
Right!! Super Mario All Stars came with my Super Nintendo that I got Christmas 95!! And Smb2, Lost Level was definitely a challenge as a kid lol!!
And Super Mario Bros. Deluxe renamed to Super Mario Bros.: For Super Players
6:29 LMAO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EYE OF THE SUPER MARIO WORLD ONE 💀💀
Flatline is goated asf like no question, videos are so high quality it’s insane.
Even though the Mario Archie comics sadly didn’t get to happen, The Super Mario adventures comic is everything I’d want in a super Mario movie and I’ve heard the Movie is taking some inspiration from the comic and that has me hyped! :)
Fun Fact: the blocks and question marks in the first Super Mario Bros. game in 1985 were actually people in the Mushroom Kingdom who had been turned into blocks by Bowser!
It’s nice to finally see a Mario video, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
@@Flatlife I can’t believe you actually noticed me, this is cool 😎
The Lost Levels was also available on the SNES
The ,90 children, seem to had the best era of music and entertainment in the world. Will never be another era of us. Children again. The parents , must felt like , a change happen but didn't realize their sacrifice , of the children made that happen.
Bro I still don’t get why this does have at least 3 million subs. He deserves it more than anyone! Thank you Flatlife
You finally made a Mario video. It’s about time.
Yeah.
11:29 If it didn't age well, why did Illumination use this rap for a fake commercial for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing?
7:23
CORRECTION
Super Mario Bros 2 was actually localized in the US as “The Lost Levels” WAY before the Wii. I was part of the Super Mario Allstars game for the Super Nintendo back in 1993
I stopped watching after hearing that. Video lost all credibility.
There are always so many glaring errors in this channel's videos, not sure how they get away with it.
Incredible video I follow your channel closely and I’m incredibly impressed by the videos you release keep it up!
Super Mario was nostalgia.
i didn,t knew super mario bros 1 had so much history behind it man, thanks for the video
7:11 2007 is incorrect because it came on all stars for SNES in 90s (?)
Bro its so nice to see this channel grow I’ve been here since 30k
This is an amazing video, and I remember watching it so many times back in March. It's been 8 months since then, and now I'm back in November!
Incorrect information at 7:15

I was getting PTSD the whole time from the music from Mario Kart. I was getting hardcore flashbacks 😂
We have needed this since the dawn of time
The goat. Mario will always be my favorite video game series 🥱🐐
Fun fact: Goombas are super mushrooms, but 6 bottom pixels were shifted for room for their feet
Great video as pear usual
Thank you flatlife for making this mario video its the best video of Mario's evolution
I love this video and it explains all the facts of how Mario became a legendary video game character and I love Mario

I actually like the N64 Mario Character and Nintendo switch Mario it looks so cool it was the mario Icon
a great way to celebrate the legends birthday
Flatlife: “Super Mario Bros. is the sixth best selling game of all time”
Editor: It’s seventh.
the mario rap is reused in an smb plumbing ad for the movie
nice vid
The 64 Mario in the thumbnail is kinda terrifying
Mario is so cool and great video man :]
Marios always been there as my childhood memory 🎮
Agreed.
"Was Mario or Donkey Kong the original franchise?" That's about the same as asking whether the chicken or the egg came first.
Man the nostalgia here .. can't wait for episode 2
Didn’t watch the full video and already hit that like button.
One of the best performances I have ever seen
I’ve been waiting for the Mario evolution for a long time
I would like to be a huge fan of Nintendo and Super Mario forever once again!

Those scenes are all from the trailer no spoilers right?

My friend this is super video thank you ...
Nobody who worked on this video ever played Super Mario All-Stars on SNES. That’s when we first got The Lost Levels.
YES YES finally Mario evolution 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
another great video
He's wrong about 1 key issue.
Super Mario All Stars was released on the SNES in July 1993, not 2007.
It had The Lost Levels on it way back then.
14:57 Miyamoto ain't letting that slide 💀
Actually, I believe that Super Mario Bros was actually from 1985, whereas the thumbnail says it came out in 1981.
Super Mario games and bowser and koopalings is so awesome🤩👍
Fun fact: Mario was first named Mario in Donkey Kong Jr.
Today Is my bday and it's a charm to see this becuase it's been 10 years since I played my first ever game

Super Mario Bros 3 is still VERY fun to this day. For me Mario World just didn't feel as fun as when I played Mario 3.
You forgot the fact that Mario's full name is "Mario Mario", and Luigi's is "Luigi Mario"
could you do mario bros with luigi's mansion and mario and luigi series inorder even yoshi island
These videos be coming in faster and faster
Can you make an evolution of Xfinity cable box?
Lost levels was first re-released in Super Mario Bros all stars
This video is factually inaccurate. For example “The Lost Levels” wasn’t available first in 2007 outside of Japan. It was part of Super Mario All Stars, released in Europe and the US in 1993 for the SNES.
Very interesting I like super mario
a mistake: the super mario bros 3 was in october 1988 not 1990
fun fact: Luigi's first appearance wasn't from the arcade super Mario bros, he came from a game and watch title.
Amazing video as always. Hey flatlife I have a video idea evolution of your Channel how about that?
Flatlife when are we going to get part 2 of Super Mario
Mario a gaming icon of my child hood
