People who are just finding this:
SMW2 has a really active hacking community, which you can learn more about here.
Download an emulator and give ASMT (A Super Mario Thing) a try - It's a collaborative romhack made by members of the talkhaus.

[–]XavierMendel 0 points1 point ago

Indeed so. If you're interested in checking out romhack playthroughs/commentary, TheRealNinjaBoy has made over 2,000 on his channel. (Along with other games such as Super Meat Boy, Minecraft, Super Mario Bros. X, Super Mario RPG, and stuff like that).

[–]TehWut 1 point2 points ago

this community is awesome! There are tons of mods and tools for SMW. My favorite is Brutal Mario, it's just what it sounds like, so if you're getting tired of vanilla give that one a go.

Pshh, I still play on the actual SNES console. It feels great to have carts instead of emulators.

[–]Emblematic 17 points18 points ago

Whenever I see this gif I always think it is so amazingly smooth. SNES in 60fps yo.

[–]R68000 40 points41 points ago

The SNES is a 60fps system. This gif is just really sped up for some reason.

The system did not have enough memory for a frame buffer. Because of the demands this placed on the video hardware, frames always takes the same amount of time to render (regardless of their complexity - a black screen took the same render time as a bullet-filled space battle), and data could only be uploaded "between" frames, during vertical blank. The hardware is designed to make this easy, sending an interrupt once every frame at the start of vertical blank.

Almost all games have their main loops synchronized to that interrupt, and therefore run at 60fps. It was actually harder to make a game that ran at less than 60fps than to make one that did - physics engines were designed around the idea that one run through the main loop is 1/60th second.

This also explains why SNES games slow down when there are a lot of enemies on screen instead of getting choppy framerates - if the main loop ever takes longer than one frame, the physics engine does not correct for it.

Games that appear to have visual flaws induced by low frame rates are usually suffering from separate issues. Animations may be choppy because a game without a lot of storage space would find it very budget-friendly to use fewer frames. Movement may seem jerky because multiplies and divides were pretty computationally expensive, and there was no hardware floating point. A sine calculation was usually limited to 8 or 16 bit fixed-point arithmetic, same with square roots.

[–]MoonDaddy 7 points8 points ago

I don't have a clue about anything you just said here but you get an upvote for knowing what the fuck you're talking about, or at least being able to sound really convincingly like you do.

[–]Alaskan_Thunder 2 points3 points ago

Basic summary of this excellent post: Super nintendo is at 60 fps. A game is composed of a mainloop. A mainloop updates data about the game, such as sprite locations, physics, and more. It then draws everything at the updated locations and updates the screen(called rendering)

When rendering, there is basically two ways to do it(I think there are more, but meh): directly to the screen, and with a screen buffer. Imagine the screen as a 2d image. When you render to the screen, you place everything you draw on top of that image. When you render to a frame buffer, you have a second image. You draw everything to this image instead. When the game loop renders, you replace the screen image with the frame buffer.

The reason frame buffers are good is that you can see all the changes at once in the case of slowdown. If you render directly to screen, it is almost like loading a picture on the internet with a slow connection. A background appears, then sprite A, then Sprite B, and so on, until the entire screen is loaded.

[–]ff04 2 points3 points ago

...and the PAL version is 50 fps...

[–]Kriem 0 points1 point ago

Which I always thought was a shame.

[–]firepelt 3 points4 points ago

I want a 60fps SNES so badly.

[–]Sharrakor 8 points9 points ago

emulators...

[–]SheeEttin 3 points4 points ago

I recently tried Dolphin on my computer... I can run Metroid Prime,and it looks damn sexy.

Now if I could only run it at 1080p and with anti-aliasing...

[–]bejayel 2 points3 points ago

Having never used Dolphin, you can't? Is it just too intense for your system?

I thought we were well in to what would be considered good enough for Dolphin at this point.

[–]SheeEttin 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, my choices of computer to run it on are a laptop with i5 but integrated graphics, or a Pentium D with Radeon HD 5750.

So yeah, there is hardware that'll run it at full speed (my laptop does, usually), but if you want all the fancy features (high resolution, anti-aliasing, graphical enhancement hacks) and a good framerate you still need top-of-the-line stuff.

[–]itstevens 19 points20 points ago

Which one is this? Super Mario World?

[–]ripvision 10 points11 points ago

Yup, you can run through the chain links just don't touch those big spikey balls.

[–]itstevens 8 points9 points ago

Thought so. This is probably my favorite. On SNES anyway. Super Mario 3 is my all time favorite.

[–]BlueJoshi 2 points3 points ago

It's the only one on SNES.

Edit: Hey guys, read the other replies before you tell me I forgot Yoshi's Island, 'kay?

[–]salgat 2 points3 points ago

Everyone forgets Yoshi's Island, the second mario.

[–]BlueJoshi -2 points-1 points ago

[Yoshi's Island] was on the SNES. It was also completely different from a Mario game and the first entry in the Yoshi series, of which Yoshi's Story is the second.

Before you say anything else, no, it did not have "Super Mario World 2" in the title in Japan. That was something added for America to try to help it sell.

I could never forget Yoshi's Island. It's my favourite video game of all time, and it's where I got part of my name from :) But it's not much of a Mario game.

[–]NSNick 0 points1 point ago

Just like Super Mario Bros. 2 was Doki Doki Panic in Japan and had nothing to do with Mario.

[–]salgat 0 points1 point ago

Mario 2 wasn't even a true mario game (it was a reskin) and it's considered a mario game.

[–]Yuhwryu 0 points1 point ago

Did you know that Doki Doki Panic was first developed to be Mario 2, but deemed too different, making the developers change the skin of the game to a non-Mario game?

[–]Nonbeing 1 point2 points ago

I don't give a rat's ass whether Mario 2 was a reskin or not, it has earned its place in Mario canon. For fuck's sake, Shy Guys are a Mario staple now. They wouldn't be a Mario thing at all if not for Mario 2.

I loved that game. I will never understand all the hate.

[–]salgat 1 point2 points ago

I consider it canon too, just like Yoshi's island.

[–]Nonbeing 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, didn't mean to snap at you like that. I just reread my comment and it seemed a little hostile.

I just really like Mario 2.

[–]Nonbeing 0 points1 point ago

I could never forget Yoshi's Island. It's my favourite video game of all time

Fuckin A, brother. I can't say it's my all-time #1 favorite, but it's definitely up there.

I have very fond memories attached to it. I was in my mid-teens, and I had a little sister who was like 2 or 3. We would play it together.

It's also just an awesome game. Great design, and just plain fun.

[–]DumbDumbFace 4 points5 points ago

Super Mario RPG

[–]itstevens 0 points1 point ago

I did not actually know that. It seems like they should have had more than one video game starring their flagship character.

[–]thecoffee 0 points1 point ago

They were messing with a sequel, but it got nixed due to some development hell for a Super Nintendo disc system.

[–]itstevens -2 points-1 points ago

And then they came out with the N64...IRONY!!!

[–]Ontolodox 0 points1 point ago

Apparently you got too dizzy from Fuzzies to remember correctly, friend.

[–]crymsonnite -5 points-4 points ago

Bullshit Super Mario all stars, which is like 5 Mario games, Also yoshis story is part of the super Mario bros series and that's on the snes as well, learn you sum knowledge for you speak sun

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

You misspelled "some". And "son". And mangled the grammar there.

Super Mario All-Stars is a compendium of 4 NES games. I suppose you could count it. I don't.

Yoshi's Story is on the N64. Perhaps you mean Yoshi's Island? That one was on the SNES. It was also completely different from a Mario game and the first entry in the Yoshi series, of which Yoshi's Story is the second.

Before you say anything else, no, it did not have "Super Mario World 2" in the title in Japan. That was something added for America to try to help it sell.

[–]Toaka 8 points9 points ago

Mario is Missing! ;)

[–]busdriverbuddha 0 points1 point ago

Ugh.

[–]BlueJoshi 1 point2 points ago

Alright, you've got me there.

[–]salgat 4 points5 points ago

Um...the Japanese Title had "Super Mario" in the title.

Super Mario: Yoshi Island (スーパーマリオ ヨッシーアイランド Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando?)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_World_2:_Yoshi's_Island

And Miyamoto considers it to be a core part of the Super Mario series.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/09/24/miyamoto-tezuka-interview.aspx

[–]BlueJoshi -2 points-1 points ago

Alright, I guess I was misinformed on the first part, thanks.

Edit: Actually, now that I'm rereading this when I'm more awake... okay? So it says Super Mario in the title. Lots of Mario games have that in the title. You wouldn't consider Super Mario RPG to be a sequel to Mario World, would you?

[–]salgat 2 points3 points ago

No, but Miyamoto considers it part of the mario series, see my second link (might be in my other post here).

[–]jibbbbb 1 point2 points ago

Mario KART SNES ...FUCK

[–]iworkedatsubway 0 points1 point ago

false

[–]DocJawbone 0 points1 point ago

You know it was one of, if not the first, game on SNES and also one of the best. I'm hard pressed to think of another that was as much fun as Super Mario World.

[–]itstevens 1 point2 points ago

Oh it was definitely the best and most fun. Super Mario 3 is still my favorite though, for...sentimental reason. :)

[–]curly123 2 points3 points ago

Yup. It's the first part of Ludwig Von Koopa's castle (world 3).

[–]blogorg 5 points6 points ago

This is from the castle in World 4. . .

[–]curly123 2 points3 points ago

So it is.

Nah, you can keep it. Got plenty of 'em back in storage.

[–]NSNick 0 points1 point ago

It's OK, I didn't remember which world this was from either.

But I do remember that after this, there's a false spot in the ceiling you can jump through to get a Mushroom and go down a pipe.

It's like repost haters think that the entire internet is in perfect synchronization, and every person sees every post at the exact second it is posted for the first time (or if they don't, they should).

"What gives? The chains don't hurt me?" -Arino Kacho

[–]dethb0y 0 points1 point ago

I always wondered how you'd dial in the difficulty on something like that? Some sort of mathematical or formulaic thing, or if you just playtest it out again and again till it feels right?

[–]falconfetus8 0 points1 point ago

You playtest it out until it feels right. As a general rule of thumb, you will spend more time playtesting your game than you will programming it.

However, the developers of Super Meat Boy have released their "difficulty formula" as sort of a joke:

difficulty = (% chance the player will die) X (penalty for dieing)

[–]dethb0y 0 points1 point ago

Interesting.
