Another Mario romhack, this time sent to us by 1upclock. There are two branching paths eventually both leading to the end. This video has the first three levels of the speed path.
Jesus, coming back to these videos after years has certainly been a treat. Jon, azure blade, icrangirl, all of them. Im really happy all of these are still here ^u^
Jack Registeel Ah, okay. I know that feeling... I started working on mine several years ago and still haven't finished it because I keep taking reeeeally long breaks XD
Frantically remembering watching this 10 years ago and rushing to watch it again and still love every minute is a testament to the greatness of this video and ProtonJon himself
God, there's a lofi quality to romhack videos that's really starting to show through. They're so genuinely unscripted, have lower quality mics, and this strangely anarchist vibe. I know that sounds dramatic, but our closet popular relative now is the curated Mario Maker. This just hits different, even more so after all this time.
My guess was that Proton Jon was being a smartass and didn't want to do the Kaizo type stages, so he stalled for a bit and chose the speed stages just so that he doesn't have to suffer through Kaizo once more.
There's a massive different between how they're used in the original game and how they're used in difficult hacks. Usually in the original they were used to accent a secret in the stage, but 9/10 times in hacks they're used as cheap kills.
Man....sometimes it's nice to go back to Jon's romhack videos and see where it all began. He was the first LP'er I ever saw, and still my favorite. I've probably gone back and watched all these hundreds of times, and I'll be damned if I ever stop.
Watching just the beginnings of Jon's videos from the start is awesome, you can watch his resignation grow with every new romhack as they break his spirit, one by one.
I've played all three Kaizo Mario's and still like invisible blocks, but I like them much better when they are used not, to kill you, but like to prevent you from getting a 3up, or secret exit. I use them like that in my romhacks. Clever placement of invisible 1up blocks isn't used often either.
The first video of Jon's that I watched. The first Let's Player I ever watched. Before Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. I still find myself coming back to Jon's channel and watching all his old RomHack videos. I still love them.
This was one of the first videos I watched on youtube, and yet I still remember this video so clearly. Also that "still 4 minutes left" got me, I almost forgot the youtube video length limit was a thing, and all the stuff you had to do just to get custom thumbnails
I love invisible coin blocks when it comes to you, Jon....it makes me laugh because you ramble on for like 5 minutes about how you despise invisible coin blocks. Everytime I see you get one I laugh. xD
Super Mario Maker can never replace the experience of real rom hacks. Why? Because you can't use Chargin' Chucks! To this day I STILL wanna play that Koopa Koopa Mob level.
Hey good commentary! Almost as fun as psystarcraft. Good points on the invisible blocks! I really like most challenges in Kaizo Mario but invisible blocks takes the fun out as you say =)
"It landed on its corner" I was drinking at that time, and a whole lot of water came out of my nose, it was worth it though, since i was laughing for about 3 minutes straight, AWESOME!
ROFL!!!!!! I think many small pieces out of the whole video are very funny. especially when you said "it does not rain football players in mario land" at 5:26
Invisible coin blocks are the greatest. It is that same joy you get from (nerd alert) spending hours setting up a D&D game, rolling the dice once, and everyone dieing from a cavein/lightning strike/whatever. I know I am the last bastion of a losing fight here, but: -"forte" is a MiddleFrench word meaning "strength" pronounced "fohrt" -"forté" is an Italian word meaning "loud" pronounced "fortay"
Going to have to try this one. The invisible block puzzles don't so much annoy me as just present a reason to constantly be on edge, and be prepared to always have a backup plan when jumping.
"It does not rain football players in Mario land!"
I hate to break it to you, Jon, but this is Mario WORLD.
Football? I hear that's what you use to save Africa from not-zombies.
BiancaShiro In addition, I always thought they were 'baseball catchers', not footballers (of any nature), despite the charging.
"FOOOOTBALLLLLL"
DEET DEET!
ProtonJon's channel is the Alpha of "Send me your Mario Maker levels"
Do yo notice the similarities between bullshit Mario hacks and Mario Maker levels?
@@hoovy5147 still is
@@hoovy5147 yeah, except the mario maker levels are bullshit and hacks are good
Remember when most let's plays were Mario romhacks and we could at least imagine that the big video game developers were run by cool people.
Then Twitter happened
even 12 years later i still consistently quote this video.
Jon is the reason I started watching lets plays :)
Same here! Him and chuggaconroy.
I actually first watched his Kaizo Special Stage video before I had even heard of Let's Playing... So yeah, he got me into it, too!
TRG!
5:54-6:04
Accurate representation of my PE class in football when I have the ball.
+MrDrProfessorRabbit
I'm picturing that one gif of Jack Sparrow running away from natives, except with football players.
It’s raining chucks hallelujah it’s raining chucks
Jesus, coming back to these videos after years has certainly been a treat. Jon, azure blade, icrangirl, all of them. Im really happy all of these are still here ^u^
years later, the yoshis island cart would come back in full force
7 years ago... Damn. This got me into Romhacking.
Same. To be exact, it was his Mario's Wacky World LP that first made me decide to try making my own.
179marioyoshi971 Lol I was too young back then to be watching him, I still have my old drawings for my made up hack "Big Boo's Revenge."
Jack Registeel Huh, I think I've played part of a romhack with that name before!
179marioyoshi971 Oh nice. Guess someone got it before me. I started map development and shortly got bored.
Jack Registeel Ah, okay. I know that feeling... I started working on mine several years ago and still haven't finished it because I keep taking reeeeally long breaks XD
I agree, invisible blocks are just a cheap tactic to make easy rom hacks harder.
Nice reference.
Frantically remembering watching this 10 years ago and rushing to watch it again and still love every minute is a testament to the greatness of this video and ProtonJon himself
Like I was 10 when this came out and now I have a college degree

how a game cartridge being flipped managed to land on its corner is beyond my understanding of physics

Jon is my spirit animal.
+Matthew Stroup
Waluigi is your spirit animal by proxy.
That second level has so many of Chris Redfield's family members and clones.
FOOTBALLLLLL.
Does the video look like a higher quality than 240p, or is it just me?
this game is rendered at 240p anyways :P
Don't mind me, just watching 11 year old videos of a guy playing a 29 year old game.

Interesting - The Mario Maker Invisible Block Rant... 7 years early!
The first video of Jon's that I watched. The first Let's Player I ever watched. Before Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. I still find myself coming back to Jon's channel and watching all his old RomHack videos. I still love them.

Looks like Mario declared war on the NFL in that second stage. XD
2nd level with football players, epicly funny and awesome to watch.
1upclock, the legend will never die :D
This was one of the very first videos I ever watched on youtube. respects
lmao its hilarious seeing you rage at the invisible coin blocks. maybe that's what rom hackers are going for. xD
Ridiculous that's ridiculous. Nothing is more ridiculous than ridiculousness. How ridiculous are you?
This isprobably one of my fave videos of yours.
Jon's just brilliant, since all of his humor is natural, it's not forced. My favorite TH-cam LPs by far.
Wow, eight years and there was no change whatsoever in Jon's voice. Perhaps a bit lower-pitched now, but largely it's the exact same.
+Gunner193 Well he's in his early 30s now I believe, probably not gonna have his voice change much at all for quite a while.
Thunder Ryu Maybe, I wouldn't know.
MarioMaker is going to be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
Not sure how I missed these. I could have swore I'd seen most of your rom hack videos. This one looks fun as hell. In a masochistic kind of way.
Protonjon.thank you
You introduced me to lets plays and set a high bar.you're the best
8 years, jeez I feel old...
How about now?
Takeshi is refering to Takeshi's chalenge
it feels nostalgic watching 10 min videos again. Reminds me of the old ways of youtube....
LOL!! The superfluous amount of koopa troopas and bullet bills is just hilarious.
Jasper: Invisible coin blocks are just a cheap tactic to make rom hacks harder!
-redo- Jasper: Invisible coin blocks are just a cheap tactic to make weak romhacks stronger!
Good times, soon to be remastered.
For fun I hope.
I vow to only use those invisible blocks at the start and end of levels for fun though.
hahaha I've watched this about 5 years ago, seeing it now still makes me laugh.
"It does not rain football players in Mario land!"
Makes me lol every time I see it.
this guy hates hidden coin blocks
Wow the SNEStalgia
I love invisible coin blocks when it comes to you, Jon....it makes me laugh because you ramble on for like 5 minutes about how you despise invisible coin blocks. Everytime I see you get one I laugh. xD
This looks insane!
Super Mario Maker can never replace the experience of real rom hacks. Why? Because you can't use Chargin' Chucks! To this day I STILL wanna play that Koopa Koopa Mob level.
Your reactions in this video are PRICELESS!
Wow. The path you took looks awesome, even despite those invisible blocks.
"Chocolate death... Chocolate brain, some stay dry and others feel the pain!" I subscribed to you because of awesome stuff like this!
I like this one. It's not the ridiculous type of challenging. The speed paths seem quite fun, actually!
this video plus his commentary is just great!!
put it in my faves...
happy 10 year anniversary Proton Jon!
That second lvl is one of the best romhacks lvl I have ever seen
i loved the second stage, loved the raining football guys
You have a great sense of humour!
im just re watching a bunch of your old vids... and yep they are still funny
i love these rom hax
Hey good commentary! Almost as fun as psystarcraft. Good points on the invisible blocks! I really like most challenges in Kaizo Mario but invisible blocks takes the fun out as you say =)
LOL! I love the invis coin blocks. constant death LOL
dude, youtube recommended me this old video. damn i remember watching it when it came out.
i love your commentary thing. it makes it more funny :p
"It landed on its corner"
I was drinking at that time, and a whole lot of water came out of my nose, it was worth it though, since i was laughing for about 3 minutes straight, AWESOME!
"...because I don't trust my luck." Jumps, hits a hidden coin block, falls into lava.
Invisible coinblocks aren't for annoyance, it's for a good laugh. XD
Love the commentary.
the second level was too funny!!!! XD and thanks for the tip, i'm gunna put m0ar of those invisible blocks :D
you know, at least in this romhack, it seems like he put the invisible coin blocks for a reason other than just a cheap way to make it harder
Great playthrough.
Charging Chuck, the best enemy in any Mario game :D
subscribed, because your commentary is so funny
lol I love the Chocolate rain reference in there.
Okay, just gotta say this; Homg, you know MXC. I used to love that show, a few years back, when it still aired on Spike TV.
5:30 ITS Rainin' men HALELUJAH
this game looks awesom, better done than a lot of games i´ve seen
LOL. "it landed on its corner."
you rock.
"It doesn't rain Charging Chucks in Dinosaur Land."
- Someone unrelated to Jon -
That was awesome!! Very funny.
CASE IN POINT: I AM YELLING.
That's gotta be my favorite line you ever said in your videos.
"i gonna forget where the last one was aren't i... nope, none so far." jumps, hits the hidden coin block "oh. there it is."
"Would you stop raining!" Classic.
ROFL!!!!!! I think many small pieces out of the whole video are very funny.
especially when you said "it does not rain football players in mario land" at 5:26
first level with the raining football koopas was friggin hillarious! lol
I think that is the funniest gag, raining football players.
Awesome video
OMG I wanna watch more stages I don't know why it feels great watching XD!
All I can think about when hearing Takeshi is Takeshi's Castle. Which is awesome, as is Craig Charles.
XD i love how at 1:34 ish you said it landed on its corner and the music made its note change into the sad part xD

-"forté" is an Italian word meaning "loud" pronounced "fortay"
Oh hey, I didn't know about this hack. And you're a funny guy when it comes to LP's it seems. Subscribed, my friend ;)
4:45 Why are they falling outta the sky??!!! That was hilarious :D
How fitting that jon talks about yoshis island
i love your videos
Oh man, MXC is awesome. xD
And I think you were talking about Takeshi's Castle.
Aghhhhh *pinches bridge of nose* I can't believe you just did that, bravo sir, bravo.
Ah...the good old days. I want to see this guy play Mario Maker.
Hmm..I would love to try some of these out :D
Watching this since 2010-2011...
so old me...
Going to have to try this one. The invisible block puzzles don't so much annoy me as just present a reason to constantly be on edge, and be prepared to always have a backup plan when jumping.
