Hey all! just to clarify...This video is supposed to be a JOKE, a MEME. So, just enjoy and don't stress your brain cells! Since, I am a 90's kid, we were subject to BIT WARS between two major video game companies, they screwed with our little minds. So, this video is a MEME on that era. Cheers!

There is a bit of a mix up: the “4-bit” is clearly 8-bit. In fact, it appears to have been made on the Pico-8 or TIC-80 fantasy consoles. Most likely the former because of the 128 x 128 pixel grid limit.

I don't think 0-bit is a thing or it's just literally just a dark screen. Also I think 1-bit da be just extremely rudimentary b&w graphics, much like pong

I know it’s a joke, but bits has nothing to do with graphical fidelity. Also, you aren’t going to get lower or fall on bit boundaries that aren’t multiples of 8 bits (I.e 1 byte) as that is the unit a computer uses. Older computers and consoles used 8 bit processors like the Z80 and the 6502. This number specified the instruction size that the processor used. This would also affect how it addresses memory and how many colors it could use (of course this is an even bigger can of worms since we would have to talk about indexed color modes and such too).

My Favourite 3 Versions of this Game: 1. 16-Bit (SNES) 2. 64-Bit (Super Mario Bros. 64) 3. HD (High-quality)

0 bit means a blank sceeen. 1 bit means black and white (or any combination of 2 colours). For example you could draw Mario's shape using mode 256x192 x2 colors (8 pixels per bit) on a MC6847 VDG. The available color modes are buff & black, or light green & very dark green.

Wouldn't 0-Bit Mario just be a black screen? Also, wouldn't the Wii version would be 32-Bit, not HD, since the Wii's central processing unit is a 32-bit IBM PowerPC-based processor, despite the console's other processors giving it more power in general?

1:41 Super Block Bros.?

Fun fact: 0 bit Mario was actually a placeholder for Mario in the first SMB game.

0:40 this was before circles were invented 😅

The 4-bit version is amazing! I love that version. The grafics is so cute.

Why does 4 bit looks better than 8 bit 💀

I would totally play (and enjoy) the 1-bit version. The 2-bit one is awesome. When the base mechanics are strong, who cares of graphics?

when will people understand… the BITS determine THE RAM, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GRAPHICS, if you just lowered down a bit value of a game the game will be broken

First picture would be 4-bit, as long as those pixels are 4x4, Second picture would be 8-bit, because of the detail for each block, just different sprites, third picture would be something the Atari 2600 would be able to produce, which is 8-bit, fourth picture will need at least a Z80 microprocessor (8-bit), like on the GBC, due to the pixel density, fifth picture is Super Mario Bros. for the NES, which is 8-bit, sixth picture is correct, 16-bit, like the Sega Genesis or SNES, seventh picture is a rom hack of Super Mario 64 for the N64, which is a 64-bit CPU, but this can be played on a 32-bit CPU, as long as the code is rewritten or emulated on software like Project 64, eighth picture is New Super Mario Bros. U, which has a version for the Wii U (64-bit) and the Nintendo Switch (64-bit).

why do people keep slapping bits on everything not knowing what it means

Me encanta la version de 4 bits esta muy agradable

0, 1, and 4 bit would be incapable of the music or the floating scoring when grabbing coins. But this was a fun watch!

Each "block" is 256 square pixels, or 16x16 pixels. If Super Mario Bros was 4 bits, then each block will be 4x4. If it was 2 bits, then blocks will be 2x2. If 1 bit, the blocks will be individual unit squares, without anything inside them. Also, blocks are grouped into "chunks" that have 16 blocks. So, each chunk contains 16x256 blocks, or 4096 blocks. Each block has 256 pixels, so each chunk has 1048576 pixels, or 1 megapixel. Each pixel has a chance to be 16777216 colors, as there are 256 slots for red, 256 for green, and 256 for blue. So that means there are... 16777216^1048576 "individual" chunks! That means up to 256 "chunks" can be registered into a world, and there are 256 worlds. That means up to 65536 chunks can be registered. That means the simple, 8-bit NES can register up to (16777216^1048576)^65536, or 16777216^68719476736 combinations!!!!!!!!!!!!! That produces a number that is more than 10 to the power of 80 billion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moral of the story: Never underestimate Nintendo consoles (or anything!) And don't get me started on 16 bits, then 32, and even 64!!!!!!!!!!! Those bits will give me a number greater than a googolplex!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know why it is called NinTENdo? That's because if you want to dig deep you need to know your powers of TEN! Even if the NES was 2-bit, (that will produce a pixelated Super Mario Bros.), there are still 5.8e924 combinations the NES can render. In n-bits, each chunk contains 2^(3n/2) blocks, each block has 2^n pixels, so each chunk has 2^(5n/2) pixels. Each pixel has 2^(3n) colors to register, so each chunk has [2^(3n)]^[2^(5n/2)] individual possibilities. There are 2^n chunks in a world, and 2^n worlds can be registered, so the system can register up to 2^2n chunks, or 2^{[2^3n]^[2^(5n/2)]^(2n)}. If the total number is x, then log base 2 x=[2^(5n/2)]*3n*[2^(2n)]. If that number divided by 3n is u, then log base 2 u=5n/2+2n, or 9n/2. That means u times 3n is equal to 3n[2^(9n/2)] Then, the total number is 2^{3n[2^(9n/2)]}. So that means in 64 bits, it will be 2^96 blocks in a chunk, 2^64 pixels in a block, 2^160 pixels in a chunk, 2^192 individual colors per pixel, (2^192)^(2^160), 2^128 chunks can be registered, so the amounts of a 64-bit system can register is [(2^192)^(2^160)]^(2^128), or 2^[192(2^288)]. This is why algebra is the best solution for any math problem, as it makes the work easier.

I love how 2 Bits just looks like Nintendo asked a kid to draw Mario

All that's missing is ½-bit, ¼-bit, and THE WRIIIIIIIIIIIIIST GAAAAAAAAAAME

Esto me recuerda que originalmente mario iba a ser un rectángulo amarillo sin mas, pero mario bros fue tan popular que lo cogieron y desde ahi nace una leyenda

I also like how the “1-bit” is just the “used power-up” blocks filling in for the player and creatures.

The Pico-8 version is really good!

Pls don't confuse de Bit concept, beacause the bits are data information by electric pulses. We can classify depending of the type of the component, for example the sound, video, data, etc. So that classification can sort or classify the technological objects. For example a console, denpending of the conponents you can categorize it, some of them has a 8 bit precessor but can handle a 16 bit video card and colour depth, and has a 8 bit sound card. The bits is an important and a wide topic.

You missed a golden opportunity for a dad joke. I would've called the 2-bit Mario "Shave And A Haircut".

This is really cool to see all the bits evolution lol of Super Mario Bros

What is the criteria for the bit count? It seems to be a freestyle interpretation, like when people call "8-bits style" when it is the default 24-bits.

0 or 1 bit likely wouldn't even have a sound chip capable of multiple notes. I imagine it would basically sound like a smoke alarm playing the same beep to the beat of the music. Nathan Fielder approved.

16 bit will always be peak retro perfection. The 90s , sega vs Nintendo...good era 💯

THATS NOT HOW BITS WORK

1:48 I never thought there'd be a game where you control sliced ​​cheese

Just so you know, bits has nothing to do with pixels. It actually means color variety. Pixels means pixels.

The first time you have a chance to play Mario kart 🤯

Tetris meet super mario bros in the 1bit version ❤❤❤ looks playable too if you love tetris 😊

Ngl 64-bit looks fire 🔥

何が起きているか分からない映像を観て、 何が起きているのか分かることに任天堂の偉大さを感じた。

I remember playing the 4 Bit version all the time in elementary school

0 bit: Pong; 1 bit: Odyssey; 2 bit: Atari; 4 bit: Colecovision; 8 bit: Master System; 16 bit: SNES; 64 bit: N64; HD: PSP.

I love the HD version of this

What happened to 32 bits? Could you make a video called "Similarities Between Sonic 3 and Knuckles and The Super Mario All-Stars Games"?

The text used in 1 bit actually is pretty sick

0 bit got me laughing 😂😂😂

I see 2 bit lower quality than 1 bit, but still a great video!

0-bit having more colors than real 1-bit is funny lol

This is an awesome nostalgic video for me as I grew up in the 80s and 90s.

Kids of the 0-bit era remember their parents talking about how when they played video games that they didn't even have screens to see it, they had to use their imagination.

Seems to me the fancier it gets, the more difficult it is to play

I Like the 16-Bit Version(SNES/Known As All-Stars) And The 8-bit (NES)

Alt title: That Time Mario Got Stuck Inside A FedEx Box Right Before The Quest

I know this video is a joke, but there real two main different meanings towards bits, when it comes to computers and consoles. First is the CPU power, how many "bit" the system is is how many 1s and 0s the CPU can read at one time. The 8 bit systems were the Original Nintendo, Commodre 64, and even the Atari 2600 was 8 bit. Intel made a 8 bit cpu, the 8008. 4 bit cpus can't do much more than be simple calculators, and include the Intel 4004 chip. 16 bit was the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, and the original PC, running dos, and the Intel 8086 chip. 32 bit was developed later, and includes the Playstation and Sega Saturn, and PCs started running that with the 80386 chip. Eventually, Windows would come out for PCs, and windows 95 was a 32 bit os. The 32 bit processor was the standard for a long time. (Side note, the later 80586 chip was dubbed "Pentium" being the 5th version of the chip, and modern Intel CPU branding was born.) 64 bit systems are quite more modern, starting with Windows XP, and only getting popular with windows 7. Game consoles adopted 64 bit faster, with the N64 being ahead of its time, an having very unique architecture. The PS2 is 64 bit, but PS1 and Game cube are 32 bit, so the cpu bittage doesn't always correlate to how advanced the graphics card is. Again, the number of bits in the CPU is relates to how much data the CPU can process in one of it's cycles, and can often be different to how many bits the system can address. Although 32 bit CPU usually also have 32 Bit memory addresses, which is 4 GB of memory. And 64 bit CPUs have 64 Bit addresses, which is effectively infinite memory for our current technology. 16 Bit CPUs often had different sizes of memory Addresses, as 16 bit memory was only 64KB of data, usually not enough. 8 Bit memory is only 256 Bytes of memory, which isn't really enough to display a picture on a screen, so they'd almost always need a larger address size. The second type of bittage, is how many bits of color the images have. In this case, 1 bit color is monochrome, only allowing black and white. 2 bit color has 4 color, like the original game boy, black, white, light and dark greys. 4 bit color has 16 different colors. Usually following the same color scheme with Minecrafts colored blocks. If you make anything using those 16 colored block in minecraft, you are using 4 bit color. 8 bit allows 256 colors. This is usually paired with a color palette, so you can choose which 256 colors you want to use for that picture. 16 bit color was lifelike, but didn't last long, it had 65536 colors, a lot for full color, but not enough. 24 bit color is the current standard, with around 16 million colors. The standard here is 8 bits of Red, 8 bits Green, 8 bits blue. The standard net colors, like 0xFFFFFF being white, or 0xFF0000 being red are all 24 bit numbers. (Each Hex character = 4 bits) 32 bit color is usually done when you want to add transparency information to the image, adding an 8 bit alpha data to the RGB.

The 16-bit version is the best of all of them

Actually it could be a really nice programming challenge to replicate any of those specially 0-8 bits in any game engine…!!

4 bit looks like something you would see in the background of the actual show

0 Bits: Nintendo BubbaSystem 1 Bits: Nintendo BubbaSystem Advance 2 Bits: Atari 2600 4 Bits: Atari BubbaSystem 8 Bits: Nintendo Entertainment System 16 Bits: Game Boy Advance 64 Bits: N64 HD: Wii U

Can I ask what a bit is? Is it like a kilobite and a mega bite I'm just wondering looking back at these retro consoles. And they say 8 bit 16 bit 64 bit. But I never understood exactly what is a bit

0-bit? Can we expect Super Mario Bros to be released 20 more yrs ahead in 1965?

16 bits: Remake de super mario all stars 64 bits: mod para mario 64 HD: mod para New Super Mario Bros Wii

I think 16-bit actually looks and sounds the nicest out of all of them.

I was first focussing on the melody and not the graphic and wondered, why 4-Bit and 8-Bit sound the same

Would be nice to know exactly what each systems were for the bits that are less than 8.

The 2-BIT Koopa sprite looks like the original 3:10

Wow 4-bit is Cool! Congratulations nice job.👏👏👏

Atari 2600 version of Super Mario Brothers @00:41

0-bit is just all hit boxes

1:51 "BLOCK" 💀

HD is still 64-bit since we never progressed pass the 64 bit processor. Difference is there is just way more memory and power to smooth those polygons now.

64 bits, 32 bits, 16 bits, 8 bits, 4 bits, 2 bits, 1 bit, half bit, quarter bit, The Wrist Game!!

I want to play this under the 0-bit setting!

Dear friend/s, I thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful video. Keep on doing such nice videos.

0 Bits is just vectors

where's the wrist game?

8-bit means the processor processes 8 bits in one cycle (the real concept is more complicated, but this is a simplified version). So there isn't a 0-bit at all.

I love how 0 bit is 1 bit per pixel whereas 1 bit would need to be 2 bits per pixel...

I’ve played bootlegged versions similar to the 0 bit and 1 bit and 2 bit versions.

This was oddly satisfying.

I would love to play the 1bit version!

0 or 1 bit would be games for Minecraft characters would play. 😂

2-Bit Mario looks a lot like Pitfall Harry from the Atari 2600 Pitfall!

I'm never resting right ever again because you forgot about 32 bit, which is the sprite from Mario Clssh. I'm saying all this cuz i love the virtual boy

Wow cool video

1-bit: what if Mario was Tetris

2-bit reminds me of early on South Park

面白いネタですね。 0ビットはスクロールは出来ないはずです。 1ビット　滑らかにスクロールできるはずがない。カタカタのスクロールの筈です。 2:29 1ビットなのに、綺麗なお城を描いてる😂おかしいでしょ（笑）

1 bit the best ever🎉❤

0:00 - 0:05 Mario in 1984

The 2 bit game is my favorite!

@Retromantra: I already know it was a joke the moment it was a 0bit video game, but without jokeing arround I accidently play in the pass is one bit video game claim, that because that happen when my cartridge was too dusty and still playing for some reason. And returning to joking I get the joke 2bit mario is just lego mario.

The 4-bit one looks like a game boy color game

2Bitだと昔のカセットビジョンを彷彿させる。

6:35 que buena música y calidad

Pienso que el de 0 bits y el de 1 no son como en el video, el de 0 solo debe ser música sin gráficos, el de 1 bit solo una linea horizontal y sin colores

Man, those 0- and 1-bit versions gave me Atari flashbacks.

Because it gets more realistic about bits
