I see all, hear all, and know all. (At least about SMB DX.)

Well 'Fritz' I've been camping all weekend but i'm back to answer your questions. First, SMB was first released on the original NES in Japan on Friday, September 13th, 1985. And as KoopaKing said, The Lost Levels were released on Super Mario All Stars for SNES. Next, Boo comes in 4 colors. First white, then green, then red, and finaly black. And as for your high score... I laugh at it, mine is 2830700. :- P
And 'Fritzie', I hate to break it to you but it is IMPOSIBLE to get your 'score' of 1527591. You can only get multiples of 50 and higher from smashing empty blocks, Fritz 300 is a fake, a liar, and probobly has a very low High Score :-( Sorry Fritz, cheaters never prosper. what do you have to say about that?
I told you I knew it all. Fwaaaahhhh ! ! ! ! !

I am proud to anounce my completion of SMB DX. Five minutes ago, I finished my high score meter and earned the Toad award.

Well has anyone been on the other side of the pipe leading into 1-2 in the original SMB? I have been

Mega 2 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 07, 2000, 10:02:14 AM »

Really? When I was younger playing the original "Super Mario Bros." I tried that a lot, but never succeeded. By the way, how do you get to the "secret world" from 1-2? I've been told that on the warp zone at the end of the world there is a way to get to a swimming world otherwise unaccessable, but I've followed the instructions but it never worked. Is it just a myth? There are a lot of untrue rumors about secrets in "Mario" games, like Luigi in "Mario 64" and such.

JoeyL21988 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2000, 10:50:05 AM »

The Rumor is true, there is a way to it, it's just a little hard at first. The level is -1 (the negative or "minus" world) and it is a copy of 2-2's swimming level, except when u get to the pipe at the end, it goes right back to the beginning of the level, so it never ends.

TRM04 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2000, 01:19:54 PM »

It is sorta hard to do and it must be on the SMBDX version for you need game shark. Theres a code that lets you go through walls. Well you actuivatee it as Mario starts going through the pipe and you can go right through but there isn't much on the other side.
As for the Minus World it is true. You must bash the second and third top blocks from the pipe. Then stand on the end of the pipe, Mario facing left. Jump backwards while ducking down and you should go through the wall. Go into the first pipe and you are there. It may take a few tries to get the procedure right. And if you go in the second pipe you warp to world 5!
I also herad a rumor about a chocolate factory in the game. Is it true? And the minus world is taken out of SMBDX and SMB Allstars.

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2000, 03:43:39 PM »

Well Fritz, I thought you were gone for good. I hope you don't try to slip one by me again, I hope you learned your lesson. As for your 'chalenge' sure I'd be up to it , but I don't have a WebCam but you can have my word, which is just as good as any screen shot ( at least in the case of Mario ). And remember what I said, I don't want to catch you cheating again, just read the quote down below....

You know, there _is_ a Nesticle movie showing how to get into the Minus World on this very site, along with some other interesting bugs (like jumping over the flagpole in a certain level).

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #15 on:** July 24, 2000, 05:51:21 PM »

Hmm... I guess Fritz chickened-out earlier than I thought he would.

Yoshi2 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2000, 05:52:53 PM »

If you care for my explanation of the minus world glitch, here it is.
SMB has a engine it uses to process data while you're scrolling through the levels. It processes all of the data on the screen and a little more so things won't just suddenly "appear" near the edge. This processing results in the appearence of enemies, blocks, etc., and also of course reads the data telling the Nintendo about all of these objects too. Well my explanation is that there is a certain point on the top of those blocks that you jump off of over a warp zone that tells the nintendo to set the world numbers over the pipes, show the "Welcome to warp zone!" text, etc. Well the game knows that that certain type of pipe(warp zone pipes) must always take you to a different world. However, when you go through the wall and enter the first pipe that leads to the "minus world", that "switch point" has not been processed yet, thus the game does not know which world to send you to. Thus, if you were to get there successfully, you would be taken to 4-1, but instead there is a blank space where the world number is, taking you to world _-1. So if it was really a "minus world", it would say "World -1-1." Of course, you probably don't get a word I said so never mind me anyway. I'm always trying to find out the real reason for these glitches. (Shrugs)

Yoshi2 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2000, 10:57:12 AM »

But of course SMB probably uses something different than that "scrolling engine." Well, it seems logical anyway.

Woohoo.

CodeHunter64 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2000, 10:29:41 AM »

Answer me this, MarioMasterDX:

How come I didn't get the picture for aquiring all the Yoshi eggs? I did that thing it says on this site to save your game after you get the last one but that didn't work.

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #19 on:** August 03, 2000, 12:10:39 PM »

I'd be glad to help! I know exactly what to do, but first I need to know if you have gotten the high sore and red coin medal (wether they appeared in the album or not).

If you have or haven't (it's better to wait untill you've EARNED all of them), then call 1-800-255-3700, the Nintendo service line. Once you get through to a person tell them about the glitch and they'll know what to do. They'll have Fed-Ex come pick it up and send it to them. They'll fix the glitch and return it as soon as they can. It is free but there's a catch, you have to go without Mario for a little while. They say 6-8 weeks but it only took one and a half with me, yes that's right i'm speaking from experience. NEXT TIME you EARN a medal go to the original mode and save in any world, then you turn off your GameBoy. THEN you can go look in your album. And in case you are wondering if there's anything you can do to fix the glitch, there is no other way. Once it never appears you have to get it repaired, but trust me it's worth it.
If you need anything else... just ask.

You have to turn it off? Crap. It didn't say that. That must be what I'm doing wrong...

Deezer · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2000, 11:45:01 PM »

MarioMasterDX: What exactly is the deal with this bug? Is the way I explained it on http://www.classicgaming.com/tmk/smbdx_bugs.shtml correct (except that I don't mention turning off the GBC...)?
Or, will the glitch also appear if you get all the Yoshi Eggs before you get all of the Red Coins and Score awards?

(I don't have SMBDX... yet. :)

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #22 on:** September 25, 2000, 05:44:37 PM »

Deezer, first of all, my sincere apologies, my modem has been down for a long time but I'm finally back on As for your question, according to Nintendo of America, right after you achived the requirements to get the picture you have to play a regular game, save it, and turn the GB off. Although I wasn't able to try this myself, NoA promptly FedExed my SMB DX. cartrige to them and repaired it. That's right, and they gave me back MY cartrige, they shipped it fixed it and sent it back all free of charge. Now that's service! But back to the question, your explanation is pretty accurate, maybe slight modifications are in order. And just so you know, the Yoshi egg isn't the only medal that may not show up. On mine I was missing the Toad award, and all three chalenge pics. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

I see all, hear all, and know all. (At least about SMB DX.)

Um can you help me i beat red boo and he turned blackbut my friends say it's dark blue
which is right?

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #25 on:** September 26, 2000, 06:33:31 PM »

The boo is black, if it does look dark blue don't worry about it, there's no such thing as earning a "dark blue boo".

black44 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 30, 2000, 05:40:59 AM »

It seams like I can't get a single highscore medal what should I do??!

MarioMasterDX · « **Reply #27 on:** September 30, 2000, 08:30:00 PM »

Well, there's not any easy way to 'cheat' and get them if that's what your asking me. Practice makes perfect. When I first started playing SMB DX. I had the exact same problem as you, I could hardly get any high score medals. But look at me now, I have every single last one. The best thing to do is practice with the easy high score levels first, for me that would be all the Bowser levels (i.e. 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, ect.). For me speed worked on many levels, try running through the levels, only getting the enemies directly in your path. Try NOT to stop as much as posible, just a quick stop for those high-points mushrooms and fire-flowers (coin boxes work too!). And last but not least try reaching the flagpole at the top (duh) and doing so when the last digit of the time-remaining meter is at 6 (i.e. 126 sec. left 056 sec. left, ect.). In case you didn't already know, that'll get you 6 fireworks at 500 pts. a piece. Well I gues that's about the best I can give you on that subject, and remember, it (the points) all adds up!
