In one of the next levels I recall an invisible coin block even. >_>

Only one?

I'm afraid of Hard mode. And terrified for any mode after that..

as far as I can tell, those red underwater plants are capable of eating things. watch the vid of the easy version of the cave water level, right here you see one eating Torpedo Teds

If you run into a red plant you get instakilled.
Guess how I know this

The Red Switch is my favorite level thus far. It's awesome.

Time travel asked us how he knew that the red plants were instant kill, I made my guess

I suppose I really should tone down the lunacy shouldnt I? okay from now on nothing but mostly Cohereant posts from me

He does say "legit" funny. There's more stress on the first syllable.

Also, the Green Switch is the best level

Seriously, are suggestions welcome? I just played a really good game.

Heh, that reminds me of TT's period with sarcasm tags.

I laughed my ass off while watching today's videos. I have never seen such glitch-o-rama in SMW hack ever before

That were some really interesting glitches. But I really love those switch palaces. They are so cleverly made.

May I ask how long it took you in total to beat it?

I had a bit over an hour of footage.

Good move moving to Cam Studio. Camtasia isn't a very stable program...

edit: fixed as of 10:30pm pst, disregard the below message


to anyone watching the SDM videos through raocow.com this morning: the archive is bugging out and showing them in the wrong order, for reasons i can't figure out yet...so make sure you watch the 2nd embedded video before the first one!

And that is why you should also check the high bytes of Mario's position when making sprites that interact with him. Those flowers seem to have only checked if Mario was in the same relative spot on the sub-screen as they were, and thus interacted with him even when he was on an entirely different screen.

Oh, they're custom sprites?

...


Wouldn't it be simpler to just make invisible 'only interacts with sprites other then mario' blocks under the pipe?

Well, no?
raocow uses Camtasia, but he recommended two other programs (fraps, camstudio) that you can use for free. I guess rao just answered a frequently asked question via video?

And it's the other way around...

Camtasia is a very stable program that records with good quality, while Camstudio is just a piece of trash.
Honestly, I do not recommend using Camstudio, it's just not a good program.
Crappy quality, unstable and is far less efficient than any other program I used by now.

It's the only reason I can come up with that would explain the seemingly random getting of fire flowers in that room and the fact that one of them was missing on your successful run. But I agree, your solution would be much easier.

These extra stages remind me of Touhou's Extra mode if anything else... Lots of trial and error and quasi puzzle-based stuff involved but what you know what you're doing and what you're supposed to do, it's really not that hard.

(I'm only half through the second red switch video so I might be wrong though!)

I wonnt lie about this, i thought it was pretty fun, Sorry raocow, its quite awesome that your not stating for non scientific reasons, and although it seemed as though your brain had broke at the end you still pulled through

Man I can't wait for the other palaces


also oh man 1000th video in 5 videos
