Hey friends! Welcome to the first episode of a new series, Squiggy's SNES First Level Quest. Woohoo, new series!

As explained in this video, this series is a shameless ripoff of Only Level One's concept, where he is doing the same thing for the NES. I saw him on VidMe and ripped off his idea wholesale. Even if it's not the most original, it should be a lot of fun.

This is basically my attempt to extend Squiggy Seven: First Impressions to SNES games. The thing I really like about this is the definitive goals. I never really know when to end a Squiggy Seven episode, and some run long and some run short and we always see a random amount of the game. This gives it a little more structure, which I think will be a lot of fun.

Most episodes will probably be pretty short, around 5 or 10 minutes, which should also be nice. Squiggy Seven runs about 15-20 minutes on average, which is about where I like to keep ROM Hack Romp Episodes too. We have Abandonware Adventures for longer form content, and now SNES First Level Quest will fill in the shorter content. Something for everyone!

Anyways, as you can probably tell, I'm really excited for this series. Don't worry though - it won't interfere with the other series. The episodes should mostly be quick and easy to record and edit, and will give me something to produce when I'm short on time or in addition to other content. I can't see five minutes of recording and five minutes of editing getting in the way of other series too much.

Speaking of which, we will be back Monday with the newest episode of Squiggy's ROM Hack Romp. I know there's a lot of people waiting for it, I just wanted to make sure I have time to record it and release the episodes on time before I start the series. See, SNES First Level Quest is already helping out!

Thanks for watching friends, and I hope you enjoyed it. Please let me know down below what you think of the new series. Cheers!

Oh, and check out DemonTomatoDave for the credit song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vubw2q44FQ Good stuff, and much better when it's not sped up and cut into pieces.


---[ Wikipedia ]---------------

Super Mario World is a two-dimensional platform game in which the player controls the on-screen protagonist (either Mario or Luigi) from a third-person perspective. The game shares similar gameplay mechanics with previous titles in the series—Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3—but introduces several new elements. In addition to the running and jumping moves found in past games, the player can float with the aid of special items and execute new types of jumps such as the spin jump.

The player navigates through the game via two game screens: an overworld map and a sidescrolling playfield. The overworld map displays an overhead representation of the current world and has several paths leading from the world's entrance to a castle. Paths connect to action panels, fortresses, ghost houses and other map icons, and allow players to take different routes to reach the world's goal. Moving the on-screen character to an action panel or fortress will allow access to that level's playfield. The majority of the game takes place in these levels, populated with obstacles and enemies, with the player traversing the stage by running, jumping, and dodging or defeating enemies. The player is given a certain amount of lives, which are lost when Mario is attacked by an enemy while small, falls into a pit or lava, or runs out of time. If all lives are lost at any point in the game, the "Game Over" screen will appear, in which the player can continue from the last level played by selecting "Continue". Each world features a final stage with a boss to defeat; each of the seven worlds feature fortresses controlled by one of the Koopalings, and the player also battles Bowser in his castle in the seventh world. In addition to special items from previous games like the "Super Mushroom" and "Fire Flower", new power-ups are introduced that provide the player with new gameplay options. In addition, the "Spin Attack" jump is initiated with the "A" button. The spin attack allows Mario or Luigi to break blocks beneath him.


---[ Series Information ]---------------

Squiggy's SNES First Level Quest is a series where I attempt to beat the first level of every SNES game. Some will be chosen randomly, some chosen because I liked them when I was younger, and some chosen by viewer request. This isn't necessarily a review or first impression or anything - the only true goal is to first define "What is Level 1 in this game?" and then beat it.
