Super Mario Maker 2 has tons of glitches and exploits scattered all around... And the one we're covering today certainly breaks the game. With the combination of three specific items while making a level, a creator has the ability to glitch out the game and transform the world around Mario and Luigi. Join Mayro and I on a deep dive covering this "freeze glitch / door glitch", and the bizarre properties it contains.
Special thanks to Mayro for helping out with this video! ► / @mayrosmm

If its a Mario game, Then it has to be broken somehow.

You mean a bethesda game.

I've seen videos on the glitches but not one on the explanation, thanks Swanky!
Wait, alex. Can Cat break mario maker 2?
Thank you Alex, very cool!
Love your vids alax
It's the deepest of deep lore.
RelaxAlax Angry Birds confirmed for smash.
I’m waiting for people to find a glitch that lets you switch between game themes, mid course.
Or, I’m waiting for Nintendo to implement it as a feature...
Either works!
I think it'd be really slick! A level where one side of a mountain is grassy and the other is snowy comes to mind. The tunnel through the mountain could transition it all. It'd really amplify the idea of scale and distance between areas, like how the overworld pipes in Super Mario 3D World behave.
+SwankyBox Nintendo would probably limit it to one change per area, honestly.
Another cool idea would be to have the ability to switch between, say, Super Mario Bros., and NSMBU, mid-level.
Hii
I’d think I’d be cool to have the same exact room copied over and over but in each of the 4 themes and each way is solved differently since there is different physics for each theme
SwankyBox yep
The smear thing in computer 3d game terms is called the void, it's what happens when there is no skybox. Basically there is no background.
furthermore it's basically because most rendering setups will render a single-color background before anything else in order to create a canvas to place objects on. note that this is NOT the background or skybox, just a referential canvas.
the hall of mirrors effect happens because this layer, the 'background', is not rendered. the background is used to basically delete the last render by overlapping it and thus dumping the pixels, but if it doesn't do that, then the pixels remain even as the render continues updating.
it's basically what would happen if you made a little sticky-note stack flipbook, but extended the animation off the page with scotch tape and sharpie. the images overlap because there's nothing between the last frame(s) and the current frame.
(and yes this is regurgitating the video to a certain degree but i think 'frames haven't refreshed' is obfuscating the terminology of what's happening a little)
@@simonbelluci Neat way to explain it with the tape comparison.
It actually is, I can confirm this; I've worked on some game projects and that's obviously it.
@@simonbelluci yes! Someone else knows what's actually happening!

Hey Chris

The word "he" has never hurt so much before.

Why
Mayro is a trans-woman.
thank you, i was wondering why swanky was misgendering her ;-;
Yea she didn’t say she was trans publicly by then so you can’t blame swanky
I'm suprised A+Start hasn't made a Son Of A Glitch video on the game already.
He's probably waiting for more glitches to pop up. There are a couple of glitches but probably not enough to make a whole episode
Ikr
Months later, and I still doubt it's gonna happen. A+Start personally performs and demonstrates most (if not all) glitches in his videos, and walks you through the explanation and process. Nintendo is super adamant about eradicating bugs and glitches as soon as possible, so it would be extremely difficult to make a glitch video of that fashion out of SMM2 without it being a long-term ordeal.
Actually, this reminds be of Doom's Hall of Mirrors "bug". When a wall in that game is untextured, you can paint in very much the same way as seen here. In the original DOS version, it flickered too because of page flipping, kinda cool effect.

In a few ways, Mario Maker is like a computer-coding systems. Having so many ways to work, the system can get really confused sometimes. I think that’s why the background changes, it just freaks out and needs to reset itself.
holy shit
we got almost the entire MM2 Community in this one video
All we're missing is Beardbear, Ceave Gaming, Smashy, Matayas, and Tobias

How do you know your part of smm2 community
What about streamers like dgr
And ryukahr!
But what about alpharad and desbug?
If this is possible, I wonder if resetting the timer mid level is possible, so you could make some weird near death experiences. That would be funny for a Majora's Mask level.

what if you go through a door in the glitched area? will the screen turn black?

Whta happend if you do the same glitch again in the glitch world?
Im gonna try
Edit: Sadly, nothing happen. Its the exact same as the first time
*HA*
I Thought It Would Be Interesting
This is a late reply, but if you or anyone reading this is wondering still:
Yes, most likely. The background simply prints every frame without clearing the background *constantly*, as there is no skybox to hide the void. Pausing or causing the screen to fade to black would cause the game to keep showing these visuals under new information

You have great content, this video included, full of mysteries and relatable experiences and just fun randomness that it's not surprising you got this far. You deserve it, congrats!
How did my two favorite youtubers do a collab!? This is heaven!
Me: mom i want marios trail
Mom: we have mario trail at home
At home:
i played this level in mario maker 1, it was called "were dey go?" so what happens is that there is a wall of pow blocks, or was it side-ways trampolines? anyways, after some time, the pow blocks glitch underneath the lava, so you can continue on.
The texture smearing glitch is called the "hall-of-mirrors effect" and can also happen when there are missing textures, typically in games running off the Doom engine.
Congratulations SwankyBox! And for the record, we watch your videos because we like you. I am especially fond of your nostalgia videos. Keep being awesome dude!
Congradulations Swanky Box I am a big fan of your youtube channel and you defenetly deserved all those veiws! Keep up all the good work!🙂
The frame refresh glitch will become a creepypasta.
It's very fun to analyse glitches and it can show you something new that you didn't know!
The glitched out bg is definitely due to having the horizontal bg. It's called the hall of mirrors effect and happens when there's no data to refresh a draw pixel, thus not updating the pixel. It's been a thing since the very first video games.
Crossover of the century
The smearing effect occurs because the color buffer isn't being cleared every frame. It just draws on top of the old image every frame. Since the background fills the entire screen, you would never notice.
Kind of like painting on a canvas, if you continuously paint over the old painting, making sure to fill the canvas every time, you'll never see what's behind it. But once the entire canvas isn't being filled, it becomes obvious you're just painting over the old painting.
SwankyBox sounds and reacts like a gamer version of Saberspark, and i'm 1000% okay with that
This sounds like a dev-exit that's nearly impossible to find.
I can't wait to see the Mario paint levels...
Have you tried having the sub-area be night theme?
I remember the visual glitch in 3D world lol
I call it "windows XP error"
I’ve encountered a weird crash: In Story Mode, with Luigi’s parts, if you stack a theme specific power up on top of a POW block, the game will crash.
That smear glitch you're talking about is known as "Artifacting" And it's a common thing in many games and errors for windows. It's easy to accidentally make this occur and intentionally force it to happen. It's really fun to do.
I've been watching your videos for so long, but I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed!
This is trippy and cool! So broken!
6:27 OH GOD
You can hold up instead of pressing up at the exact frame
I knew about this for awhile, but good video
You can't even call that glitch "new" anymore

Love you both, mayro and swanky
The "Hall of mirrors" effect, as it is known as, is caused because computers "draw" images on a "surface" that is then displayed on screen. Unless specifically instructed to do so, the surface is never wiped clean, and instead each new frame is simply drawn on top of the previous. Under normal circumstances the previous frame is completely covered by the current, but if there are areas that don't have anything drawn over them, that area just stays as is, creating the HoM effect.
@SwankyBox It's only the missing background!
You can see this as the background of the background: The NULL Layer.
Normally it moves an constantly renders the background, but if, for some reason, any backgroud is missing, it draws the foreground layer.
You can test this out by drawing holes into a background image of a customizable game, M.U.G.E.N. for instance. You will see that this effect does happen right after a foreground object passed the hole, but get erased right after the background once drew over it.
I've seen a level that makes use of that max height break and was wondering how they created the "trippy" feel as they called it.
I love this collaboration! I cannot wait to see more content and collabs! :D
(more Mario Maker 2 content too please)

I’v ever found a glitch in link’s awakning.
If you Climb on a ladder wile holding the flying chicken above ur head and you get hit by a rock when you are close at the ground the rock will push you trough the landscape and you get out of bounce
There’s the weird glitch in the game where putting a track over a ? Block, putting a coin on the track, and removing the track, it somehow becomes corrupt data. You can then load a new level, and with a little bit of luck, you will get the 3D world theme, letting you get tracks into 3D world style.
remember the SMM1 invincibility glitch, that was super fun
I experienced that same type of glitch, except when I went through the door and collected the fire flower at the same time, I hit the flagpole and could move around until the level completed itself.
Hey congrats on 50 mil! This video is 9 months old so I’m sure you have many more by now 👍🏼
These are my fav glitches!
6:30 It's actually called a "house of mirrors" effect, if I remember.
Close! It's "hall of mirrors".
I like your theory on the horizontal/vertical scroll glitch, but I have a slightly different theory. I think that Nintendo programmed the rendering sequence to begin by rendering in the background, then anything on the foreground. The error comes into play when the vertical level has a horizontal background, meaning there is no data to draw a background from above a certain position. The reason the smearing effect happens is because the background, which serves as a form of reset, never gets rendered in, leaving the previous renders of every other element on the screen.
Yeah, Swankybox and Mayro, two underrated TH-camrs!
A glitch i seen was the icon say dummy
5:15 They said "Truly Bizarre" and I felt like I was watching a Nuke's top 5 video for a sec
Swanky box you are one of my favorite youtubers I'm sure some other people might think your amazing but I think your better than amazing
Diavolo: *sweats profusely*
basically, the game isn't clearing the framebuffer in between frames, it's just drawing the new one on top of the old one, so if there's void where there should be background, you just see the previous state of the buffer there
The real mother of the Lumas in super Mario galaxy is dead. When the lumas eat star bits, they turn into galaxies and planets. But if they don’t, then they get bigger overtime, just like that purple luma from super Mario galaxy 2. When the lumas sacrificed themselves to stop the black hole, a super nova occurred, and the baby luma in the second game was born and so were many more. The mother Luma must have been a red super giant that collapsed and exploded. The gases were than used to make the other lumas. Case closed
Congrats on the 50,000,000 views Swanky!
i love your videos so ,much your content is so cool
To the people saying that he was misgendering mayro. He isn’t required to have known that, he just wanted to talk about Mario. And plus, he probably knows by now. I see comments from less than a month ago correcting him.
SwankyBox: "3 items can break mario maker 2."
Trolls: "Time to unleash my masterpiece!"
Fun fact: nothing almost EVER clears the screen. They _update_ it. And yes, there's a difference.
Consider your normal piece of computer memory. Programmers define the concept of a "variable" in memory as this box that can hold any kind of data for you. Setting a variable to any value makes the box keep that value until you change it, and its current contents only ever disappear from your reach if the computer loses power or is reset, you free that memory because you no longer need it, or you overwite the contents with a new value.
In the case of games, well, when things work correctly, the game will always update the entirety of the screen with every new frame. But the screen's buffer is a piece of memory like any other. If for any reason the pixels on the screen are not updated by an incoming frame (like for example, having a void in your scene), those pixels will remain in their last state, simply because that is how all computer memory works. Actually clearing the screen buffer (blacking out the screen during Vsync before drawing) is an additional step that is generally considered a waste of resources. Other systems like the Windows and Linux desktops themselves even take advantage of the void. Unlike games, they only update specific pieces of the screen each time, and most of the time, they don't update the screen at all. They only update the pixels that need to be updated, and leave everything else be, saving tons of processing power and energy when the system is idling.
As a bonus, try performing this glitch on a level full of tiles with all sorts of screen effects. They should be amplified by the void and give all kinds of cool results, since the effect is applied over what has been previously drawn and has already been distorted.
This is like that mario odyssey glicth where you throw the cap at a goomba when its on top of the life shroom
That last part is interesting, something else that could be possible is some kind of dev exit under the floor as well
0:01 am i the only one who hears “Super mario maker soup”?
@SwankyBox This is happening because every frame, the game draws the background first, then draws the level objects (mario, enemies, coins, terrain, etc.) As a result, under normal conditions, when the background is opaque, you can only see the most recently drawn background and everything drawn on top of it on any given frame, since the background is drawn over everything drawn in past frames. In a sense, the background obscures the past. However, just like with the lava at the start of the video, once you go too high and the game has nothing to draw, the background is essentially transparent; the background draw does nothing. As a result, the game is effectively only drawing objects, and with no background to obscure it, the trail of past draws is visible. A similar glitch happens in the original DOOM when you do the void glitch.
the foreground is smeared when there is no background
because everything is rendered on top of the last frame.
most game engines are set by default to start rendering every frame by filling it with a color, so that most game devs will not see the smear background effect - this is named 'screen clearing'.
but many big studios disable screen clearing because their games always have much more advanced backgrounds that completely override anything (this means, they already clear the screen, and make the game engine's built-in screen clearing effect just an unneeded extra step).
only in cases like with this glitch do we see what happens when a game does not have screen clearing enabled and does not have a background set to override empty spaces.
some indie games also have advanced backgrounds that make screen clearing redundant,
but indie devs tend to not disable screen clearing because
• their games always start out with a 1-color background
• when they make advanced backgrounds, chunks of the original background from the screen clearing effect may still be visible
• even if they switch completely to self-clearing backgrounds, they don't think to disable screen clearing
• the impact of disabling screen clearing is almost nothing. there are always bigger performance issues that could be fixed
If I had to guess, the game doesn't clear the screen before drawing the next frame, it just draws layers in ascending Z order. That means that it is constantly smeared, but the backdrop hides the smeary mess. It is more optimized than clearing the entire screen every frame. Since the backdrop has limited height, it isn't drawn if Mario is too high on the level, allowing the player to see gaze upon the V O I D.
Huh, neat. If I had to guess the game is using a front and back buffer. The rendering pipepline renders to the back buffer, switches it with the front buffer and the back buffer gets cleared. If the back buffer doesnt get cleared, it will take the old images and redraw elements on it creating this painting effect.
Hey swanky!
The idea of a level that can only be beaten using this glitch like the tunnel you said would be cool, but isn’t it impossible to create, since this glitch isn’t possible to reproduce in the stage editor?
Awesome video, thanks for making it!
If I remember correctly the "smear" effect is called "HOM" or "Hall of mirrors" as named by the DOOM community.
3:08 it also seems that the castle “bridge” is in the smb style.
Probably in every style, maybe a placeholder they forgot
Tiny bit more informative info about the redrawing glitch
Basically, nintendo only erases the bit of the screen that the player should see, if they tried erasing more of the screen, it could make things a tiny bit slower. Its just basic optimization. I think nintendo only erases and redraws areas that need to be redrawn or erased, again, for optimization. things could slow down the more boxes the game has to draw. Probably a minor performance improvement, and most likely an automatic game engine feature too to speed up improvement
Source: i made a dumb basic platformer in python, and had to do a little bit of simple graphics work, and had to optimize it a lot. Use game engines kids, or dont, because its fun to make your own
Love your videos
Pausing in the messy painting area makes it even worse
8:04 whoa, that was so satisfying
Congratz on 50 mil views!! ❤️
Well no, but actually no
@@raggebatman Thats pretty sad mate
Lol I had the same vertical subarea glitch in my game, but for weirder reasons.
Rather than waste time blanking the screen, because the background is always there on the whole screen the game just draws that over everything. Since there's nothing to draw, that's why it's a mess.
So that's what causes smearing in games...I've seen this happen, but in a different game. Specifically, in Petz 4 from PFMagic, in the "playscene editor" there is a tutorial playscene "TV Room" where it teaches you how to make them. After saving the new playscene, and then going into it with your petz, there is a button on the "TV screen" part of the playscene...if you interact with it (i.e.: turn it to 'on') it doesn't really show anything on the 'screen'...until your petz moves in front of it, and then that small area of the playscene does the smearing effect. I always found it so weird, but this makes me understand it better...kinda? It's probably something else innitially causing it that I don't understand, but it does look very similar.
3:57 Aye Dragon Ball Z/GT/Super reference I like this guy Black60Dragon
Mario paint has really changed
I love the Paint glitch
Mayro that’s why I’m here. Also it’s good
You may have a small misconception about how the game “clears out” the area involving the background. In most game engines, clearing the screen before drawing sprites on top of it is inefficient. Instead, the game just re-draws the background image first, then draws the other objects on top of it. But because there is no background being drawn, the previously drawn image stays behind. The game’s drawing process isn’t “glitching out,” it just isn’t drawing the background in front of the old drawing
You could probably make a twilight lv with that background glitch if it works.
My mind just said "So? Plenty of things crash paper mario."
