Hey Kosmic, what software do you use in this video to edit the levels? I already downloaded a few level editors a few years ago and the only one that seemed relatively good was detected as trojan horse by my antivirus, so I just threw all this crap in the garbage... If there is one that is good and not bundled with some malware I'd really like to try it.
Blue lava is also a thing in real life. I don't know the technical details, but from what I understand, it has something to do with the amount of sulfur and other elements in the volcano at the time it explodes.
This is a cool idea and I love that you made different difficulty levels to meet a wider audience. Did you consider flying koopa bounces for levels like 3-2 and 5-1?
Blue Lava is real btw. There is a volcano in Indonesia called Kawah Ijen (or Ijen Crater) which is infamous for its blue lava. This phenonenon occurs when a large amount of Sulphur conbusts when in contact with lava (the usual red ones) which creates this blue flames. Kawah Ijen is known for its large sulphur deposit which causes this to happen. Actual Blue Lava has to reach the temperature of abou 6.000 degree Celcius which seems to be a lot hotter than the natural red lava we usually know.
I made a level like this on Mario Maker 2. It was an exact copy of 1-1, but the floor was all made of spikes. Maybe it is just because Mario Maker has different physics than the original, but I recall only needing to make the invisible 1up block visible to make it beatable. If you went into the pipe on my version, you would just fall into spikes and die.
Simple idea turned into an amazing hack. It's crazy, but it reminds me of how some artists come up with a simple set of rules for a work of art, and stuff just seems to fall in place.
Just played the "easier" version and it was very good. The only I didn't like were the inside pipes midpoints where idk what to do, but it was a pretty nice challenge.
@@kartikjain6935 you gotta take a regular rom of smb+duck hunt(i think) and then patch it with the ips files in the description. the tutorial for patching roms is also in the description.
the comedy part of this demonstration in 13:41😂and oh dear that softlock at 15:04 i guess 1-1 but different challenge and floor lava things really go viral in recent years modifying on official stages is pretty fun, just like remaking music built from your memory speedrunning experts are just never out of ideas❤
Thank you for your efforts Kosmic and all of those who worked on this hack. This was an interesting and cool way to keep Mario Bros fresh and different.
I find a little glitch in 1-2, where I get a checkpoint in a place that’s almost lava and you immediately die. The good part is that doing a precise jump just after you spawn you can actually get to the block, it’s actually funny and can be useful.
Hey Kosmic! Could you make a video explaining how the maze levels of SMB1 work? I'm curious about what goes on in the background to make them loop and whether they loop endlessly.
This reiminds me of the Portal 2 Backwards mod that one speedrunner made/there are different versions depending on weather you know the glitches or are just a casual player who does not need to remember every minute detail. A really good idea if you both want a challenge but also want a lot of people to be able to experience it.
I have just started to dabble with making my own Mario hacks myself. Haven't a clue on how to use the hack tools, but decided to go with a new cop style side scroller called the LawWonder Files. I did a few pallet changes so that Mario would look like my typical cop character. To be honest, I am quite clueless on level designs.
Watching this reminds me just how varied people's usage of Time truly is. And it also had to do with popularity, coin, connections, clout, crews, computer code, control, communities, and opportunities.
Kosmic, i just wanted to say i love your vids! you were the one that inspired me to buy an NES with the only game Super Mario Bros. you will get to 200K super soon! keep it up!
Id love to see you and top players make SM1 levels for each other. See how far you can really push it! Love that you had an easy version on this mod too for general audience
I find it incredible that people are still talking about and finding new ways to enjoy a game made 38 years ago. What game made this year would still be relevant 38 from now?
If Nintendo decides to release a Mario game this year, then probably that. Mario games in general tend to gather a large modding community, a large speedrunning community, lots of youtube content made about them, and all sorts of other things.
I can do a better V than that... or is it something to do with sprite limits or something? I would genuinely be interested in a video on why that is the best V that you could do, and what sorcery would be required to do better.
Great video! By the way, I think that you could’ve just replaced the now unused underwater tiles’ graphics (ground, coral) with the missing title card ‘L’ and ‘V’ corners.
this is top tier content. I'm impressed, and now I'm curious about what other games someone might be able to feasibly do this on. SMB3? SMW? Mario64? Celeste?
Technically, under-lava stages should be impossible to swim in… because Mario would shoot to the surface as fast as the viscosity allowed, with no way to descend. Even liquid stone is a lot denser than a human body.
I know its not water. that lava at 1-4 is not actual lava, it doesnt hurt you either but its not solid and takes you to the pit instead, meaning thats not-solid lava.
I'll never play the hard mode, because I am quite unskilled at SMB1, but I love the idea. Now if only the NES had better palette hardware to make the lava red.
LOL. I love the proof that the blue lava is functionally lava, and the accompanying proof that blue lava is legit according to lore. You have irrefutably justified the blue lava. Let every mouth be stopped.
In 8-1 I jumped onto the buzzy beetle, between the two pipes with the 1-up, and landed on the second pipe. It bounced me pretty high. I'm not sure exactly how I did it but it was cool. Would a bounce off an enemy save frames or be faster in any way? It looks like it jolted me forward a bit. Though eyes can deceive.
I made a The Floor is Lava stage like this [1-1without ground] in Mario Maker back in the day, it was possible in that version at least I also did a sequel, SMB3 1-1 without ground

Do you have the VOD of your playthrough saved anywhere? I really want to watch it
Are you going to upload your playthrough (or highlights) to your youtube channel?
@@IFD78 my playthrough is highlighted on my twitch if you're interested!
10:51 my lawyers are on their way
Nah he summoned salt 💀
lol
Is it the most infamous though?
@@Bismuth9 BRUH
how to summon salt
number 1: make a kosmic video
I dont get why bowser filled his castle with swimming pools of red water. Seems like a strange design choice to me
Turtles need water so of course the castle for one needs water, and he turned it red like the koopa shells to intimidate enemies during the war

Don’t lie, it’s about the flavor of Kool-Aid that God puts in the lava before it erupts.
From what I’ve seen online it seems to actually just be burning sulfur and not actually lava
That mushroom at 8:34 was insane!
Loved that! Felt like something Kosmic would do (as a player) too, haha
4:32 That, sir, is a moustache, and a fine one at that.
This is a cool idea and I love that you made different difficulty levels to meet a wider audience.
Did you consider flying koopa bounces for levels like 3-2 and 5-1?
That's the solution for part of 8-2, and it's an alternative solution to 5-1. The thing with parakoopas is they often won't behave the same way

0:37 That background noise actually had me taking my headphones off like "tf was that"
It's "freshwater", not "blue kava", because Mario is a saltwater fish, that's why he dies to water on the "normal" stages

This reminds me of that old “Super Mario Bros without touching the ground!” video. So ahead of its time honestly.
remember my mind being blown when I found out that was the Dog of Wisdom guy too
I think it's cool as heck that he made multiple versions of this for less experienced peeps.
Awesome project Kosmic. Your love for this game is contagious, I'll definitely be downloading this hack. Lots of work here, but it paid off. Bravo 👏
Awesome concept and execution. I especially like the decision for underwater, running in those stages is oddly satisfying. Well done!
Hey, that title is wrong, it should be "Can you beat Super Mario Bros. If the floor is Blue Lava?"
Blue lava is hotter than red or orange lava
It is sometimes red lava.
Blue lava is still lava, don’t discriminate.
#LavaIsLava
@nn4284that's green lava
I love all of the creative possibilities you've discovered while making this hack! Great job!
Finally we have a romhack creator who is also a law-abiding citizen!
*lava-abiding!
@@KernelLeaklavabiding
So cool that you got Niftski and GTAce to test you romhack. Those wall jumps by Niftski were insane to get that powerup! Really cool video Kosmic!
This is awesome! Can’t wait to check out all the versions myself, and hopefully get good enough to do the Hard version without save states😅
This is dope. I love that you made multiple ROMs.

I would love to see a speedrunning community form around this hack :]

He... literally mentions that in the video, at 3:46. It's deliberate.
@@SeanNicholsEh Yes, but that happened to me on 1-2 instead of 1-1.
I love how one of the stages has inverted platforms from normal. The creative decisions here work really well
This is amazing. Tempts me to get back to this game I haven't played in ages!
I really enjoyed watching your playthrough, and this breakdown was really interesting. Well done on both videos!
I've been a fan of this game for the forty years it's been around, love it. Great material Kosmic!
2:17 to skip the sponsorship ad.
Thx ❤
this hack is absolute genius, thank you for making this
now, i'mma go watch your playthrough of it if you don't mind if i do
11:06 it's also possible to do a wall jump on the blocks to the left of the pipe. That's what I ended up doing, as I couldn't hit the intended method.
This channel is so cool.
Silly Kosmic, the so called "sorta w-shaped thing" is OBVIOUSLY a mustache!
Yeah, just like Mario has!

Knowing how much you and others have played the game, I wonder how accurately you could recreate it from memory
So much fun to watch and I'm sure so much fun to play. Thumbs way up.

YOOOO wassup guy i forget where ive seen you a million times already but i know you have good taste
@@spimbles It was probably here on Kosmic and maybe Flats and Roll for Sandwich, and Simpleflips and probably pikapetey lmao
This is awesome! And thanks for making different difficulty levels. My fingers will thank you lol
super adef bros 2 ideas are brewing
I will try to do a TAS on it, the Gameplay was very interesting to me :D
I love you used Marble Zone theme music of Sonic. It really fit the theme.
Id love to see you and top players make SM1 levels for each other. See how far you can really push it! Love that you had an easy version on this mod too for general audience
When a game has water that you can't swim in I call it blue lava
Really enjoyed this video and idea of 3 romhacks with various difficulties :)
This is such a nice project with bold idea behind.Very inspiring
I appreciate that you used Super Monkey Ball’s lava music toward the end
He also used Sonic's Marble Zone music :)

Literally the best rom hack in smb
This is neat, and a hack I'm surprised hasn't come earlier. Now will there be an Super Underwater Bros to complement?
Super Glitch bros. Start at world 8-5.
Nice music at 4:17. Don’t think we didn’t notice!
The Lava themed music from Sonic Games... Chefs Kiss
Hearing Sonic music with smb1 is breaking my brain. Good work as always, sir.
Aha, I said the same thing, just 7 months too late apparently :)
This is one of the best videos you've ever put out!! Amazing
8:16 I hope the easier versions inverted the L shape, so the three block stack is on the right. That way it still looks mostly right.
I just got rid of the wall so it's a flat platform
Love this new Rom Hack "Super Laua Bros"
can you pls make a video about how to clip in to walls/go threw walls
I can do a better V than that... or is it something to do with sprite limits or something? I would genuinely be interested in a video on why that is the best V that you could do, and what sorcery would be required to do better.
Laua indeed is blue (not to be confused with lava, which is actually red!)
EDIT: turns out Laua is a language of Papua New Guinea. TIL!
This was an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! By the way, I think that you could’ve just replaced the now unused underwater tiles’ graphics (ground, coral) with the missing title card ‘L’ and ‘V’ corners.

I find it funny how you were like "it's blue lava. Come on 3d world has blue lava"
Very freaking cool. Great vid, great project. Very fun to watch.
Blue lava exists on Venus because of the sulfur so my headcanon is that SMB simply takes place on Venus!
Blue lava exists in real life in parts of the world. Also blue fire is hotter than red fire - so yeah, that would work.
blue lava is gorgeous
I'm impressed by Bowser's floating ability.

that 7-4 bowser fight reminds me of the underwater boss from SML
I can't believe I'm only just now learning about the Power-Up Jump.
I'll never play the hard mode, because I am quite unskilled at SMB1, but I love the idea. Now if only the NES had better palette hardware to make the lava red.
Very cool! Want to try this myself some times. Probably, uh, the easy version though. I don't do those wall jumps and wall clips and such, eheh. 😅
The Floor is Wawa.
The amount of time it probably took to make THREE versions of this is insane nice work!
THIS IS SICK
Why not make it act like the lava in Super Mario 64?
Because that's a ton of extra work. It's a lot easier to just have it function like the way lava does in the castles in this game
Why don't you just play Mario 64
Now I wanna see a speedrun of this
This is an awesome project. Great job.
Great job, i know that took a lot of effort!
LOL. I love the proof that the blue lava is functionally lava, and the accompanying proof that blue lava is legit according to lore. You have irrefutably justified the blue lava.

0:00 maybe
Letttssss goooooo that was sweeettttt, super cool concept and having a variety of difficulties makes it even more fun!
