Just curious, Aqualung, is there a particular reason Bullet Bill are your favorite Mario enemies? Bullet Bills are awesome, I'm just curious as to if there was something to it, like how I like Koopa Paratroopas becuase I like turtles and things that fly and Paratroopas combine that, and Boos because I like supernatural/ghost stuff and because I find them to be adorable with how they hide from Mario, especially with how they're depicted in the Super Mario World comic and other stuff.
Man, I never knew about all these one-ups. I did get the one in level 3-1 before and when I tried to get it another time, I couldn't find the block anywhere. Your explanation finally cleared that up for me. Thanks.
@spongebobcrazy24 Actually, to get the hidden 1-UP in every succeeding stage you will have to collect all of the coins (and I do mean all of them, miss even one and you'll be disappointed) in the third round of each preceding world.
You have no idea how much time I spent trying to jump over the flag in 3-3(because I heard the same thing). I was never able to and I'm pretty sure it isn't possible.
that 99 lives trick, i remember doing it as a kid. if i tried it now it might not work, my luck, i relate. i heard a rumor they took the glitch out after while.

@Gambit17 well, I always pronounced it "La" as in the musical note, "ki" as in the thing you use to open locks, and "tu" as in, "me, too!" my way would be closer to the Japanese pronunciation, but w/e
on World 3 level 1, the whole trapping the turtle to get 99 lives trick. my cousin knows how to do it. he showed it to me but even I have trouble perfecting it.
@radavis76 Tell us what things are like in your twilight zone. I've always wanted to hear about the experiences of an alternate universe from a research subject like you.
I remember the first time i beat mario, I was regular mario (not super) Bowser was chucking his hammers, I prayed i would make it and I actually made it through the middle of his hammers and pulled the switch
They couldn't have, because it isn't even a glitch. All you're doing is bouncing on the shell repeatedly without landing, therefore you get a one up each time you jump on the shell.
Well, that's what they are. xD So that works for me. Now all we need is Little Richard (or whoever it was...) to come out and start singin about 'em. >.>;

Yes, it was indeed that Great Balls of Fire song. If only I'd realized sooner who did that song...ah damn...

"Using cheap cheats, or the game genie is like taking steroids to break home run records."
You're damn right Aqualung!
Thanks. I could never figure out why the 1-up on 3-1 wouldn't be there every time.
@DragnSly Yeah I actually pronounce it that way too. I just always thought that's how you do say Lakitu. How do you say it?
World 5-4 has a long firebar. So I have decided to leave the power up behind because it’s so hard to get to without getting fried.
Bullet Bill is a bad ass. I always a fan of the Boo Ghosts, though. I love the lil ghosts. Solid/Walkthrough review, Aqua.
I never got that 99-lives trick to work either. I got a few rebounds ONCE, otherwise, I got shrunk, or go kaput.
Right on man this walk though is still looking awesome. Now on to part 3!
V. entertaining (and informative - am currently working through this game). I love your dry delivery dude.

you should review lost levels / Mario bros 2. Its a pain but a good challenge.

Using the Game Genie is also a good way to fix some bad game design elements that make games harder than they should be.
Kudos to The Game Genie.
you forgot something in world 5-4. the last firebar in the castle rotates a lot faster.
@DragnSly I've always pronounced Lakitu like him.Is it pronounced differently?
lol, nice analogy with breaking baseball records
@Gambit17 well, I always pronounced it "La" as in the musical note, "ki" as in the thing you use to open locks, and "tu" as in, "me, too!"
my way would be closer to the Japanese pronunciation, but w/e
4:08 Does the top part lead to another warp zone?
Yes, he says it at 3:39
You know the only Enemy i never saw right now in 3D is the The Metal Turtle. I wonder why
on World 3 level 1, the whole trapping the turtle to get 99 lives trick. my cousin knows how to do it. he showed it to me but even I have trouble perfecting it.
7:20-7:29 where's the music and sound?
I only use it for the games that clearly don't give you enough staying power or are punishingly difficult for the wrong reasons.
I just noticded when ever theres a water lv pipe dont take it and there should be a vine....

@spongebobcrazy24 so umm...which one of you guys is right?
@AqualungGameReviews You're hillarious. I love the honesty.
Where I can play this mario?please tell me:)
@dorourke105 I always pronounced it "law-kee-too" which is closer to the Japanese pronunciation...
The part at 0:56, I used to do that all the time. It was a habit I guess heh.
If I read right "Bullet Bill" were called "Killers" in Japan...screwed up name don't ya think?
i wonder if anyone sed this but what ever the flying fish world is the third level, not the second aqua.
They couldn't have, because it isn't even a glitch. All you're doing is bouncing on the shell repeatedly without landing, therefore you get a one up each time you jump on the shell.
@batursi Beat Metroid to see what's a twilight zone.
3:05 Jason who?
I'd love to see video proof of someone jumping over the flag pole in 3-3, or any level for that matter.
it's very rare but you have to be above the screen. it's a never-ending run until you run out of time
0:55 The hell is mario doing with that vine :D
XD
Yeah, and wasn't it 'Great Balls of Fire' too?
Lol, bad images for random references are just commonplace on the internets
Heh, more "get all the coins in level x-x and get a 1up mushroom from level x-x" tricks I didn't know of :D
I like.... kickass vid
practicaly walkthrough
6-2 is my favourite level.
in two player game the secound player is luigi :)
warp zones are bullshit. if you skip over 75% of the game, how have you beatin it?
Lakitu's Japanese name is "Jugemu."
like jason voorhees^^ haha
Yeah. Bullet Bills FTW.
Well, that's what they are. xD So that works for me.
Now all we need is Little Richard (or whoever it was...) to come out and start singin about 'em. >.>;
@TheShorty312 By skipping it
I believe they're called "Podoboos"...
i hated the fish in world 2
from friday the 13th
...Whoa. Bad mental image. Damn, that's what I get for making a random reference. @_@
you sure pronounce "Lakitu" weird...
Hi me lol.
you take steroids in video games?
Hes a baseball player who takes steroides
