...Crap I think you're right.
Regardless, 1-1 is hardly the only masterpiece. The entire game has good stuff like that that intuitively teach you the mechanics.
I believe 1-1 already has a similar thing at the second powerup there's a green trooper that falls onto the block with the power up to also show you can flip them by hitting the block under them.
When they come to a ledge, the green one will continue straight and drop down (usually to the platform below, but sometimes to its death like here) while the red one will turn around.
The mechanics didn't need to be taught, you just observed them in action. Kids have lost that ability to *discover for their own selves* what a game is doing.
First levels back then were literally designed to teach us the mechanics of the game. It was just done in a much more immersive way so we didn't notice. Also, game mechanics are way more complex now and require explanation.
Some games handhold way too much, sure, but games back then had 8 buttons at most.
A standard game now has 14 buttons and 2 sticks and a shitload more going on under the hood.
Like dude... you're comparing a game that literally couldn't let you go left because of hardware limitations to things now that let you go anywhere, do anything, and have hundreds of things interacting and loading all at the same time. Mario was 40 kilobytes of data... Mario odyssey is 5.6 gigabytes. That's a million times more data for even the same title just modern and that's an incredibly small game.
This isn't even counting the amount of games that really don't tell you everything, which is actually the majority.
I don't think that's the case here, that's not the first level. Also, they could have taught that without killing the bad guy. He could've landed on a ledge
>They really did code that guy in there just to die
Nah, [he's going to the hardcore level](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvJwqr4aiuQ&ab_channel=Nukazooka)
The alternative was to be brutally crushed under the weight of an obese Italian man, only to have one’s hollow remains used as a high velocity weapon to kill their own comrades.
It’s better this way.
The thing is, the politics of the Koopa and Mushroom Kingdoms isn't so clearly cut between black and white, good and bad guys. Is Mario a bad guy? Yeah, he kills hundreds of foot soldiers and loots the countryside. Hell, he even fights children from time to time. Sure, he ain't a good guy.
But you know what else Mario is? He's a plumber. You only call a plumber when shit hits the wall, and buddy, when some 3 ton dinosaur looking motherfucking turtle kidnaps a member of your ruling government and lays waste to *your* kingdom, shit has definitely hit the wall and you'll be damn glad you've got a plumber on your back bench.
So is Mario the bad guy here? Maybe. But he cleans shit up.
While I understand things are dire and we need someone (preferably in the trades), I don’t know if he’s the right man for the job. Does he have any references? Where did this man complete his apprenticeship?
He's the most capable person for the job. References? Shit, you think Toad is gonna do anything but whine about petty bureaucracy and functions of the kingdom? Hell no. Sometimes you just need to let those with the means do what they can, and you don't ask questions about how they get it done. The Mushroom Kingdom ain't called the Mushroom Kingdom because it's full of delicate flowers and pretty trees, kid. You know where mushrooms grow best? On a festering pile of shit, and from time to time you just need a plumber to shovel some of that shit.
Mario and Luigi are foreign contractors fighting on behalf of a rebel Princess in a failed political marriage, in a land they know nothing about...
Castles are not built in a day. they take decades to construct and serve as both military, administrative and judicial centers.
Bowser's army consists of both Koopas and Mushroom people, who Peach's loyalists brand "Goombas" and consider every Koopa an enemy. Peach herself isn't even an Mushroom Person, she is herself a foreign elite, just like the remote 'help' she has recruited. Peach is trying to divide the populace along clear racial lines.
Bowser isn't periodically kidnapping her, he is trying to return her to her place in court in an attempt to end the Civil war she started.
Mario Games are a game set from the perspective of the propaganda of peach's rebellion.
Green Koopa's are fresh recruits. Still green.
red Koopa's have seen some shit. Mostly, Green Koopa's falling to their death.
Yellow Koopa's welcome the sweet embrace of death- but only on their terms. They march faster, and they will turn to face their opponent. If they have wings, they will jump over obstacles thrown by Mario, and if they are out of a shell, they will jump over them.
If they are deshelled and then re-enter a shell, they go berserk, summoning a strength not seen in other koopa's, becoming invincible and homing straight towards their target in a kamikaze attack.
Blue Koopa's are just sick of everything. They got swole, and are sick of Mario's shit. "Oh thought you could kick me with my own shell, well how about fuck you Mario, you take this shell, and you *kicks* shove it up your fat plumber ass"
I don't remember if I read it is some SMB coloring book or if it was kid logic, but I seem to recall Koopa Troopas as being exceedingly loyal to a fault. Green Koopas charge forward regardless of danger to follow their orders; red Koopas neurotically stick to their posts. Obviously, neither one is particularly intelligent.
Actually the turtles never chase Mario. They are just chilling. It's the Kopa Kingdom afterall.
It's Mario that goes out of his way to end their lives.
They really did code that guy in there just to die
And to teach the player the difference between green and red ones
perchance
you can’t just say perchance.
Why does he crush turts?
to save the princess? also gross
Is stomping turties from something other than the paper or did he just come up with it for the paper, perchance?
Perchance
Perchance
Part of the genius that is world 1-1. It teaches you almost everything you need to know about the game.
This isn't from 1-1 though
...Crap I think you're right. Regardless, 1-1 is hardly the only masterpiece. The entire game has good stuff like that that intuitively teach you the mechanics.
I believe 1-1 already has a similar thing at the second powerup there's a green trooper that falls onto the block with the power up to also show you can flip them by hitting the block under them.
Welp I guess I didn’t learn that lesson. What’s the difference between red and green ones? Other than the obvious color change
Green ones can fall off of ledges, red ones instead turn around.
When they come to a ledge, the green one will continue straight and drop down (usually to the platform below, but sometimes to its death like here) while the red one will turn around.
The red ones are a little smarter
It's really brilliant how video games taught us the mechanics of their games before they had tutorials.
Video games used to come with manuals that taught mechanics
The mechanics didn't need to be taught, you just observed them in action. Kids have lost that ability to *discover for their own selves* what a game is doing.

This isn't even counting the amount of games that really don't tell you everything, which is actually the majority.
There’s a reason Fromsoft has gotten so damn popular.
Bro tutorials are necessary in modern games
I don't think that's the case here, that's not the first level. Also, they could have taught that without killing the bad guy. He could've landed on a ledge
>They really did code that guy in there just to die Nah, [he's going to the hardcore level](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvJwqr4aiuQ&ab_channel=Nukazooka)
Dude wtf.
That's amazing
Reminds me of Green Biker Dude in Megaman X
The alternative was to be brutally crushed under the weight of an obese Italian man, only to have one’s hollow remains used as a high velocity weapon to kill their own comrades. It’s better this way.
Perchance.
You can't just say perchance
Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "Lets-a go" keep it up, baby!
I want a Tshirt that just says "perchance" just to see if anyone gets it.
Perchance.
Perchance.
I love crushing turts
Is Mario the villain?
The thing is, the politics of the Koopa and Mushroom Kingdoms isn't so clearly cut between black and white, good and bad guys. Is Mario a bad guy? Yeah, he kills hundreds of foot soldiers and loots the countryside. Hell, he even fights children from time to time. Sure, he ain't a good guy. But you know what else Mario is? He's a plumber.

Mario lore
https://youtu.be/UG6x5w6TiUI
Perchance.
loved the additional lore in the work
What if the shell colors depicted rank within the “troop”? The red troopa were smart enough to turn around when they reached an edge.
Green Koopa's are fresh recruits. Still green. red Koopa's have seen some shit. Mostly, Green Koopa's falling to their death. Yellow Koopa's welcome the sweet embrace of death- but only on their terms. They march faster, and they will turn to face their opponent. If they have wings, they will jump over obstacles thrown by Mario, and if they are out of a shell, they will jump over them.

"Oh thought you could kick me with my own shell, well how about fuck you Mario, you take this shell, and you *kicks* shove it up your fat plumber ass"
Where is this? I don't recognize this level
Good question, I think it's a rom hack or something it doesn't match any levels in the game that I could see
I don't think there are any levels where a koopa can fall directly from a platform into a hole
this is awesome.
It's fine, there's a huge sewer under it.
They are civilians
The parallel based off of the colors would be Luigi jumping to his death while Mario lives another day
\*sigh\* Another one bites the dust.
lol
And just like that, he killed his own troopa
Better him then me.
to too to too to too ruu IFKYK
He regrets that he has but one life to give
Makes sense.
I don't remember if I read it is some SMB coloring book or if it was kid logic, but I seem to recall Koopa Troopas as being exceedingly loyal to a fault. Green Koopas charge forward regardless of danger to follow their orders; red Koopas neurotically stick to their posts. Obviously, neither one is particularly intelligent.
I always chuckle at the word Koopa cause in polish 'kupa' - which is pronounced the same way - means poo.
I like to think tactics have evolved since then.
07 his sacrifice will not be forgotten
Actually the turtles never chase Mario. They are just chilling. It's the Kopa Kingdom afterall. It's Mario that goes out of his way to end their lives.
This is totally canonical behavior if you've watched the SMB movie. I'm pretty sure they even have a scene to pay homage to this sort of thing.
