After watching this video in its entirety, I'm kinda concerned about how original this level is. While it's clearly a JP version of the game I have no real way of knowing that the second half of that level even exists. Can anyone help me out?

And by second half, you mean flying through the sky? There's no way it's real. That would be impossible to do as a regular player. That first gap HAS to be done by jumping off the backs of those koopa troopas..

hate to butt in, but the way this brain is wired, this seems some of the most mind-numbing activity one could engage in....besides other stuff....mario bros....hrumppph!

this is hax

I still have my old Super Nintendo somewhere. If I can find it I want to see if this really works.

this seems some of the most mind-numbing activity one could engage in

rotflmao - Choggie has a problem with mind numbing???? Come on. Some folks call it meditation, others intoxication. Still others, altering one's consciousness. All the same if you ask me.

This is not the original game... it's a rom hack full of these kind of levels.

Indeed, this level in the real version Mario World is the green switch.

Rube Goldberg: Of, relating to, or being a contrivance that brings about by complicated means what apparently could have been accomplished simply.

This is more like the opposite of the definition of Rube Goldberg, i.e. simple means to accomplish something that is complicated. Perhaps this should be retitled, "Super Mario World has an Ant-Rube Goldberg Level"

On the contrary, Solmed. It would be so much simpler to just put a finish line at the start of the level. ;-)

Can someone take off the "unmodded" tag, seeing as this is clearly a custom construct?

I was going to post this, so I'd like to upvote it, because I think it's even better than the other one.

But I really can't stand the title and description. As EVERYONE said, that's a mod, not an easter egg or what (and how ANYbody could think it was, I dunno, look at the MarineG. comment).

So please correct title, tags, and description. This is not fucking youtube. It's not the place for dumb retitlings such as "OMFG Steve Irwin's death" and crap like that.

The only thing that makes me not be the one to type * discard is the age of the dupage. They are the same. So I think I'm being a coward here....

Someone braver?

As I stated in a previous sift talk, this was a copy of one that was submitted two weeks earlier by krupo...

Please discuss this and see that this is a dupe and to see that the proper action is taken.. Thank you...

Looks pretty cut and dry. Sorry Reylor, but Krupo beat you to it. *discard
