Video: Relive The Wonders Of The Super Nintendo's Famous Mode 7

I remember when this came out, it was ground-breaking stuff!

I love Jeremy Parish's channel !
Probably the best series about old nintendo games on Youtube.

I remember having an argument with another kid at school over what was better - his SNES or my Acorn A3000. I so won that argument........

(Mad Professor Mariarti laughs in Mario's face)

My third favourite game..ever. I made a 20min video celebrating this game if anyone is interested. The details are in my profile

Cmon Nintendo! Make F-Zero NX!

I first played F zero in the shop and my jaw hit the floor. I can clearly remember the day I got the game. My then girlfriend bought it for me because I'd no money.

It was such a step up on anything I'd seen or played before. Incredible. I think you had to live in them times to really appreciate what was happening, the games Nintendo were spitting out. Nintendo were ruling the scene. Yet all my friends had Megadrives. They hadn't a clue.

@LegendOfPokemon, it may already be made...

@The_Top_Loader what did you put above this? F-Zero X and GX?

All of stage 4 in Super Castlevania 4! Whether it was the rotating room or, my fave, that spinning hallway. I know that sounds like such small things these days but back then that was impressive!

I have no idea why anybody thinks Mode 7 is anything special. Genesis had rotating levels in Sonic 1, 3, and in Sonic and Knuckles and Contra: Hard Corps had rotation as well. It's not like GEN couldn't handle rotating sprites.

Nice analysis, though Parish's mispronunciations and misreadings were eye-roll inducing ("adjust your attitude on a jump" instead of "adjust your altitude on a jump"? "poly-GONE-al"? etc), considering his characteristic pretentious tone.

@samuelvictor
Sega certainly looked more arcade in them days and they had the "cool image", I originally went downtown to buy a Megadrive back in 91 (a year before SNES hit Europe). As faith would have it I came home with a NES. The MD was £150 with NO GAME. So I didn't fancy going home with a new console and nothing to play on it. I bought a NES that night for £120 with Super Mario bros and Duck hunt included in the price. I knew nothing about Nintendo but I had heard about them on TVs. I love the NES but with the 16bit graphics of the MD and the looming release of the SNES.

I sold the NES a year later with 5 games for £150. Headed downtown and bought a SNES with Super Mario world for £170 and never looked back.

I didn't really know much about gaming but I knew what I liked and what a console the SNES turned out to be. For me it wasn't the multi platform games (Street fighter being the exception), it was the first party games that brought it to the next level. At the end of the SNES era I truly believed Nintendo were the greatest video games company of ever. To me Nintendo were Coke and Sega were Pepsi.

@NTELLIGENTMAN I have no idea why anybody thinks NTELLIGENTMAN is anything special.

@Mode7 what do you mean?

Bah. This video was interesting up until the part where he dissed F-Zero GX. Honestly, I thought the original was neat but way too frustratingly difficult for me to attempt to get good at it. On the other hand, even though I don't especially like racing games F-Zero GX was video game perfection, and I doubt I'll never find another game where I'll be able to master the controls so thoroughly.

@davidevoid ha ha funny man. But since you asked Super Mario World at 1 and Street fighter 2 at ironically 2

@NTELLIGENTMAN You are right but the snes is just all kinds of awesome. Dont worry the mega drive is almost as good...I even have the streets of rage in my profile pic

@NTELLIGENTMAN
Comments like that are very UN-NTELLEGENT. Dream on dude.

@The_Top_Loader do you have a list of your favourite games online? My top three are 1) Tetris (GB) 2) Super Mario World 3) F-Zero GX.

@TheNinGuy It was a joke. The article is about Mode 7. My username is Mode 7. @NTELLIGENTMAN said Mode 7 wasn't special. I said he wasn't special. Joke explained.

@Mode7 oh lol

@davidevoid No but I have a whole video dedicated to F zero. Just youtube search The Top Loader F zero.. ooh and F zero GX is AWESOME .. I love it. It's the sole reason why I had a gamecube initally (then resident evil 4 etc). I will make a video of that too one day guartenteed.

@123akis My video or this websites mode 7 video lol Thanks ! >> if it's for mine >> and hey if not I'm sure the one at the top of the page was good too

@123akis lol sorry. But hey F zero is awesome either way
