Mario Chat / Re: King Koopa/Bowser

I always thought the reason why he was never called Bowser in some of the cartoons, the movie, and a few other things, had to do with copyrights.

His kids had different names in the SMB3 cartoons.

I do think the name "Bowser" slipped a few times in some of those cartoons though.

I don't know, I could be way off.

As mentioned, his name was Bowser in SMB.  I remember I misread his name and called him "Bosser"...

I was young and dyslexic.

You sure it's just a few bars?

I KNOW the sound doesn't cut itself off then repeat...

It plays a whole melody.

Why do they list it as a "bug"???

It's obvious that it was put in the game intentionally... if it WAS a bug, than why would they record the whole SMB original song in the game?

Mario Chat / Starman trick in Super Mario Bros. 2

« on: March 17, 2003, 02:06:57 AM »

I long time ago when I was young, I was playing Super Mario Bros. 2, just messing around. I stumbled upon a trick that I haven't, to this day, met ANYONE WHO KNOWS OF IT!

The trick is, you get a Starman right before you enter the Sub-con door, (the one you get when you hurl the bubbling red potion on the ground). You wait about a "one one-thousand, two one-thousand", and enter Sub-con (it will probably take a few times). By the time the Starman music stops (while you're still in Sub-con), Sub-Con's music (old Mario theme) just starts... as you leave Sub-con, (if timed right), the music continues to be (a FULL version) the old SMB's music as heard in Sub-con... it lasts until you enter a situation where the music is set to change (i.e. Birdo encounters). Try it... it can be done on the first level!!!

Tell me there are other people out there who know of this! It's such a kickass little trick, I wish more people knew of it.

It DOESN'T WORK FOR SNES GAME, I don't think!
