Noooooooo not Morio!

That doesn’t trigger a bug?

I think that depends what you consider a bug. I thinj Mario not being present makes sense as he's dead. The princess was saved even though Mario died, so I think it's reasonable to say the win condition is met. What I think is definitely a bug is that you can hear the death sound way late (a 2nd time) when you do this (jump and hit the axe at the same time bowser touches you).

Noice. I beat Morio.

It's a testament to the quality of the programming and testing that they show Mario on the screen only if he's still alive. It would be easier to just show him without conditions.

At least she wasn't in another castle anymore

Itso me, Morio!

Mori Mori Mori..

It's not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It's functionally just part of the level.

Oh okay... Never mind then :)

This is slop. Or a sloppified screenshot. Why?

Why is it slop?

I see. Does it not look like that when upscaled by an emulator?

Are you familiar with scaling shaders? There are several that are designed specifically to round out pixels, like superSAI, XBR4x, or HQ4x.

Personally I think they’re hideous, but some people do use them. It’s not AI.

Also I'm pretty sure Morio falls under the screen when he dies, but still exists there and can be controlled under some circumstances.

*Morio

I never knew I needed Morio in my life.

These upscaling filters have been around for 20+ years. They're not AI.

Mario and Sanic at the Ozempic Gains!

You’ve never played Soper Morio?

Lemmy's finest detectives on the job.

Soper Morio Point is my favorite video gome

There is a type of beetle grub used as reptile food that some people call a morio worm, you could fairly easily set up a colony of those if you need something morio.

Wait why isn't this so-called screenshot made out of pixels, did you AI generate this shit? If so why?

Also if it's somehow real I'm curious to know what would happen if you press the button to continue.
