And here's a bonus one

Also, if you use an emulator you can see that items are indeed random, but are not calculated when you enter. It's when you open a chest.

There's a hidden block in World 2-1 of the first Super Mario Bros. that's only present if you warp to it.

Why? Try something else, man! There are so many greater things out there in the world of gaming.

The newer games are far too complicated for me. And I don't have a lot of time to learn. My kids try to teach me but I'm a lost cause.

I love old games for this reason. Not only are there secrets that were spread by word of mouth only, but even after 30 years...

Also, the tune the warp whistle plays is the same one from Legend of Zelda.

Im happy to say that I actually knew about the warp world and the whistle thing, but all these other ones blew my mind.

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

To be fair. Even if you wait and warp from map two, you can get to map eight. You skip a stage or two total from map one basically.

Didn't they reveal what two warp whistles could do in 'The Wizard'

It still doesn't matter which chest you pick. It randomly generates it when you choose; left/middle/right has nothing to do with it.

But Raticate and Super/Hyper Fang suck after you get to, like, the level 20s.

Super Fang always cuts HP in half, it never stops being useful.

Just tested the one about the chest, and it's bullshit. The item is not calculated when you enter the house, but when you open the chest.

12 years ago | Likes 62 Dislikes 6

And how did you figure this out??

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Emulator with save-state after entering the house.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

How did you test it?

12 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

Using an emulator. You can save a game state just before picking a chest and experiment.

12 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

This would be tested by playing the game in an emulator. Play until you get to a mushroom house, go inside, make a save state. Then (1/?)

12 years ago | Likes 33 Dislikes 0

open a chest. Record its contents. Reload from your save state. Open another chest. If the contents are different, OP is a liar. (2/?)

12 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

Note that this does NOT confirm that the chest you open matters. It's quite possible that opening a chest 100 frames after entering (3/?)

12 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

, for example, would yield the same contents regardless of which chest is opened. This would require more stringent testing to be (4/?)

If you open the one you opened first again is it the same?

Some of us played SMB3 on an NES, you know.

12 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

My guess is he ran it on an emulator, save-stated as he entered the mushroom house, selected a chest, then reloaded and selected another.

12 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Correct, also I tested a European, North American and a Japanese ROM, all with the same result.

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Have you thought it didn't matter for the original game but the emulator had different programming for it?

12 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

That implies a shitty emulator and/or a hacked ROM.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Emulators run the original game. Roms are literally the data from the cartridge's chips dumped to a file.
