| The '''Minus World''', or '''World -1''', is an impassable [[glitch]] [[level]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' that can be accessed from a [[Warp Zone]]. It is an underwater level, exactly like [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-2]] in geography and enemy locations. However, the destination of the [[Warp Pipe]] at the end is not updated, so it returns the player to the start of the level. As a result, once the player is there, it is [[Unwinnable state|impossible to leave]] without getting a [[Game Over]] or resetting. The Minus World is well-known, and it has been referenced in several later games. | | The '''Minus World''' is a [[glitch]] level found in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' It is an underwater level (exactly like [[World 2 (SMB)|World 2-2]] in geography and enemy locations) that has no end, meaning that once there, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is doomed to lose a life by either running out of time or being defeated by [[enemies]]. The level got its name from fans because, when in the Minus World, the top screen says that Mario is in '''World -1'''. This is because of a glitch in the panels displaying the numbers. Because the Minus World is actually '''World 36''', the game displays a space (its graphic for the never-used number "36") for the World number, leading to -1.<ref name=world36>[http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/computing/mario-minus-world/ Minus World] Accessed 2009-01-04 "The 'Minus World' isn't a secret bonus level, and in fact isn't really numbered "−1" at all. The level is actually numbered "36–1", but the number "36" happens to be represented by a blank tile in the game. This gives the impression that the screen reads 'World −1'."</ref> |

| | Mario can get to the Minus World by going to World 1-2 and standing on the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that leads to the [[Flagpole]] at the end of the level. Mario should break two blocks, leaving the one on the far right. Now, Mario should move to the far left end of the pipe, then duck while facing left. While ducking, jump. While in the air, Mario should move right, so that when he comes back down, he moves through the wall and appears in the warp room. If everything was done correctly, Mario should see three pipes in front of him. If Mario enters the pipe to the far left, he will find himself in the Minus World. |

| |
|
| The Minus World glitch has been removed from remakes of ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', if the trick is performed, the Warp Pipes will still take [[Mario]] to their respective [[world]]s as if the pipes were reached by walking along the ceiling. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 35]]'', the ability to perform the trick is removed entirely. However, the glitch remains in the [[Nintendo PlayChoice-10]], the ''[[Classic NES Series]]'' and [[Virtual Console]] ports, the [[Classics|NES Classic Edition and Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer]], [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], and ''[[Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.]]'', as they are direct emulations of the original game.

| ==Methods of access==
| | The Minus World glitch has been removed from remakes of ''Super Mario Bros.''. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', if the trick is performed, the Warp Pipe will still take Mario to 4-1 as if the pipes were gotten to by walking along the ceiling. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', the ability to perform the trick was removed. However, the ''Super Mario Bros.'' that is available for download off the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] is an exact copy of the original game, meaning that gamers can once again enter the Minus World. Using the same trick in ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'' or ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' will take Mario to the room where the player should get out of the pipe at the end of the level, where the player come out of a pipe and see a stair and the pole. |
| ===Warp Zone===
| |
| [[File:SMB How to Get to Minus World.gif|How to pass through the wall and reach World -1|thumb|Performing a variation of the wall-clipping glitch to enter the Minus World]] | |
| The player can access the Minus World from [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]], using glitches to reach the Warp Zone without scrolling it completely onto the screen, namely by clipping Mario (or [[Luigi]]) through the wall before it. The [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]] form is required to perform this glitch.
| |
|
| |
|
| A very common setup is to break most of the [[Brick Block]]s forming the ceiling near the Warp Pipe leading to the normal exit, so that it leaves one Brick Block hanging near the vertical portion of the pipe. Next, the player has to face left, then [[jump]] backwards towards the bottom left corner of the single Brick Block. [[Crouch]]ing while jumping is optional, but it can be used to avoid accidentally breaking the Brick Block while performing the setup. If the action is done correctly, Mario/Luigi will clip through the block and slide through the wall, and from there, the player can enter the first pipe without showing the "Welcome to Warp Zone!" text to access the Minus World.<ref>[https://youtu.be/TqtSXD3JKcE Video by "selsine gaming" on how to perform the glitch]</ref>
| | If one is to use a gaming tool that can set the level that Mario is on, the Minus World goes all the way to -8. These levels are very strange and may have been used as test levels when the game was being developed. Specifically, World -2 is a version of 3-4 with water graphics; world -3 is a version of 3-4 with overworld graphics, and world -4 is just a blank screen. |
|
| |
|
| Another setup is that the player must jump right at full speed while crouching and without breaking any Brick Blocks forming the ceiling, then land in a very precise spot on the vertical portion of the normal exit pipe. Due to the more precise nature of this setup, this often takes several tries before the player can successfully clip inside the pipe and into the wall. In all setups, the camera has to scroll enough for even one pixel of the first Warp Zone pipe to show, otherwise the player is [[Unwinnable state|softlocked]] until the [[Time Limit|time limit]] runs out.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptsqEvqmuz0 A video of the glitch performed, on YouTube]</ref>{{dead link}}
| | ==Famicom Disk System== |
| | [[Image:MinusWorldJapan.png|thumb|right|Mario begins his trek through the bizarre Minus World of the Famicom Disk System.]] |
| | In the [[Famicom Disk System]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'', the Minus World is accessed the same way, but is very different in design. World -1 is just like [[World 1 (SMB)|World 1-3]], but with underwater gameplay (despite lacking actual visual water) and featuring bizarre elements such as multiple floating [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstools]] and a floating [[Bowser]], as well as an overall glitchy palette for several objects. It marks the only instance of underwater [[flagpole]] (sans the flag), which can easily be swam over if touched too high; if touched halfway down or lower, however, this flagpole will actually take Mario to '''World -2''', a level identical to [[World 7 (SMB)|7-3]]. There is finally a '''World -3''' after this level; -3 is a version of [[World 4 (SMB)|World 4-4]] that lacks its [[False Bowser]] and maze elements, is colored differently, and is filled with flying Bloopers that can be stomped. (Though intentionally-programmed Bloopers nearly identical to this would be featured in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.) Beating World -3 takes the [[player]] to the title screen as if the player had beaten the game. If the player starts the game again after going through the Minus World, it will replace all Goombas with Buzzy Beetles and will be like Mario's second quest. Touching any of these flagpoles and generating a fireworks display will stop the game from progressing. |
|
| |
|
| Once the player is in the Warp Zone room, entering the left or right pipe leads to the Minus World. The middle pipe leads to [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]]. (This advances the player further than normal, although it skips past the Warp Zone from [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]] to [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]].) However, if the screen is scrolled all the way over so that the "Welcome to Warp Zone!" message appears, the Warp Zone is correctly loaded and the pipes lead to their intended destinations.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[The Underwhere]] is called "World -1" by its residents. |
| It is not possible to enter the Minus World from either of the Warp Zones in World 4-2. Through hacking, the pipes in the zone above the [[vine|beanstalk]] are shown to lead back to the beginning of that section while the pipe leading to World 5-1 functions normally.<ref>[https://youtu.be/1bEgOm84dFE?t=347 Video of 4-2 Warp Pipe experiment]</ref>
| | *Also in ''Super Paper Mario'', there are three pipes in a secret room in the underground section of 3-1, referencing the way to enter the Minus World (as well as the warp zone). |
| | | *The ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' manual's description for [[Minus Barrel|Minus Barrels]] makes a Minus World reference by jokingly attributing the ability to take the player to the Minus World to them. |
| ===Cartridge swapping===
| | *On Smash Bros. DOJO!!, when demonstrating how to send [[Target Smash!]] videos, one of the Wii Friends was called "World -1.", which is perhaps referencing this level. |
| Another method of accessing glitch worlds, including the Minus World, involves swapping cartridges with ''{{wp|Tennis (1984 video game)|Tennis}}'' while the power is on, which can potentially damage the console's hardware.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0LY8LVsM0 Experiments with the Tennis cartridge]</ref> This glitch is due to the coincidental usage of the same RAM area between the two games that prevents a fail-safe from clearing the value that would normally store the most recently played world, which is used when the A Button is held down on the Start screen to continue a world after a Game Over. This value is overwritten by a footstep sound effect counter in ''Tennis''.<ref>[https://youtu.be/hrFHNgJlJSg Access Glitch Worlds in Super Mario Bros. via NES Tennis]</ref>
| | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Luigi's Final Smash [[Negative Zone]] may be a reference to World -1, due to its name. |
| | |
| ==Cause==
| |
| [[File:SMB 2ndCHRMap World36.png|thumb|right|The first 48 characters of the second CHR table within the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' data, with tile 36 (blank) marked in red]]
| |
| The graphic that enumerates a world appears in the heads-up display and Warp Zone, and it is unbounded to the actual number graphics. For any world higher than 9, the game will start using graphics for text and level objects. This is used intentionally in World 4-2's Warp Zone, which has only one pipe in the center, even though all Warp Zones are designed to support travel to exactly three worlds. The left and right pipes have destinations set to World 36, corresponding to an empty background-colored tile in the second CHR table.
| |
| | |
| Entering the Warp Zone in World 1-2 without activating the "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE!" text causes the Warp Zone to behave like World 4-2's, with the center pipe sending the player to World 5. Since World 1-2 has three pipes, the player can actually enter the pipes corresponding to World 36, sending them to a level indicated with "World 'Blank Tile'-1."
| |
| | |
| ==Related glitch worlds and levels== | |
| [[File:SMB World --1 Glitch.png|thumb|"World --1" (actually World 40-1), one of the 256 worlds]]
| |
| ''Super Mario Bros.'' actually has 256 worlds in total; however, World 0 (which starts with an underwater version of [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]]), World 9, and onward are glitched and reuse pointers from other levels in the level data. The Minus World (internally World 36) is the only one that can be accessed legitimately in the original versions of the game, and the rest can only be accessed via hacking, cheats, or via performing the cartridge swapping glitch.
| |
| | |
| It is possible for each world to have up to 256 levels, however most of these levels beyond the ones that can be normally accessed are glitched and either require hacking the game to access them, or by completing the fourth level and so on by using [[Goal Pole]]s as exits. Common descriptions of these glitch levels include:
| |
| *Duplicate levels - some glitch levels simply reuse the original data, including the exact enemy layouts and properties, however warps do not work properly and send the player back to the beginning of the level instead.<ref name="Kosmic">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Eev2YdrKY YouTube video titled "SMB1 Glitched Worlds" by Kosmic], at 8:41 into the video]</ref> | |
| *Incorrect graphics and palettes used in the level - for example, World -2 (36-2) loads [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]] with the palette and tilesets used from underwater levels
| |
| *Randomized enemy and level layouts, sprites and properties as a result of the game loading garbage data as a level
| |
| **Sometimes, a glitch level could involve spawning into a [[Coin Heaven]] with a blank timer, which causes the player to instantly lose due to the game thinking the time is up.<ref name="Kosmic"/>
| |
| **It is possible for glitch levels to also load the pipe entering cutscene (which is normally used before underground and underwater levels), usually up to three times before the level actually begins.<ref name="Kosmic"/> The player may also end up being in the cutscene state in some glitch levels and walk in an endless hallway until Mario/Luigi collides with an enemy or falls into a [[bottomless pit]].<ref name="Kosmic2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMIvFqZi8-o YouTube video titled "Glitched Worlds in Super Mario Bros!" by Kosmic], which also features some glitch levels crashing</ref>
| |
| *Black screens or instant death due to bottomless pits or no timer, which put the player in an [[unwinnable state]] until they either reset the game or (if the game is still playable) lose all their lives.
| |
| *Sometimes, there are glitch levels that the player cannot move around in, such as World -A (36-10).
| |
| *Some glitch levels may even end up crashing the game if enough progress has been made into the level, usually from loading an invalid enemy or object.<ref name="Kosmic2"/>
| |
| | |
| In glitch worlds above [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]], beating a glitch level with a castle exit (hitting the [[Axe]]) will cause the ending to be treated as if the player has completed the game, even if it only displays the [[Mushroom Retainer]]'s "Thank you Mario! But the princess is in another castle!" line. The player can return to the title screen as normal by pressing {{button|NES|B}}, and [[Hard Mode]] will also be triggered as usual. | |
| | |
| ==="World 9"===
| |
| [[File:Super Mario Bros.glitch world 9-1.png|thumb|"World 9-1" in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
| |
| The existence of these glitch levels created a rumor that sparked in Japan: a lightning strike on a [[Family Computer]] was said to create a ''Super Mario Bros.'' level never seen before, thought to be part of a secret World 9 (World 9-1 being an underwater version of [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-2]] that requires waiting a little to complete).<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/misc/ Legends of Localization Super Mario Bros.: Miscellaneous]</ref> According to an interview with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in ''Family Computer Magazine'' issue 9 in April 1986, the creation of [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' was inspired by the commotion surrounding the World 9 glitch.<ref>{{cite|url=archive.org/details/family-computer-magazine-issue-9-april-1986/Family%20Computer%20Magazine%20-%20Issue%209%20-%20April%201986%20%28Compressed%29/page/69/mode/2up|title=''Famimaga'' issue 9|date=April 1986|page=68-69}}</ref> World 9 in this game also contains levels that are designed like overworld levels but with underwater properties, graphics, and palette, alluding to the descriptions of these glitch levels.

| | |
| ==Other versions==
| |
| It is possible to perform the Minus World glitch in other versions and direct emulations of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', as well as ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. However, the way this glitch behaves varies per version of the game, with some versions sending the player to completely different places in the same level or sending them to a different version of World -1 altogether. This does not include remakes of the game (such as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''), which completely remove the Minus World glitch due to various differences in the games' technical data.
| |
| | |
| ===Family Computer Disk System port===
| |
| [[File:MinusWorldJapan.png|thumb|The Family Computer Disk System version of the Minus World]]
| |
| In the [[Family Computer Disk System]] port of ''Super Mario Bros.'', the Minus World is accessed the same way, but it is very different in design<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB2i-QOsBpw A YouTube video of the FDS version of the Minus World]</ref> due to the game loading different level data than the cartridge version.
| |
| | |
| World -1 is just like [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]] but with underwater gameplay (despite lacking actual visual water) and some unusual elements, such as multiple floating [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstools]] without hitboxes, a floating headless [[Bowser]], a misplaced [[Hammer Bro]], as well as all objects using the "underwater" palettes (that is, green is replaced by gray), causing odd visuals. If the player defeats the headless Bowser, the game will crash near the flagpole, though there is a small chance for the game not to crash and the player will instead receive a few fireworks. | |
| | |
| The level has a [[Goal Pole]] (without the flag), allowing the level to be completed normally. It can easily stop the game from progressing if touched too high, however. The level eventually leads to '''World -2''', a copy of [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-3]]. However, the [[checkpoint]] is placed beneath the bridge, leading to an [[unwinnable state]] if Mario dies during the level. This level can also be completed normally and leads to '''World -3''', a copy of [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]] that lacks its [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] and maze elements, is set underground, and filled with flying [[Blooper|Bloober]]s that can be stomped for 1,000 [[point]]s. This weakness is otherwise unused due to Mario having different physics underwater, though it does appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. In addition, upon the player completing the level, Toad's message of "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" plays as normal, despite Toad's sprite being missing.
| |
| | |
| Beating World -3 takes the player to the title screen, as the game treats completing a castle level in World 8 or later as beating the game. If the player starts the game again after going through the Minus World, [[Hard Mode]] will be activated as normal.
| |
| | |
| ===''VS. Super Mario Bros.''===
| |
| [[File:VSSMB Minus World.png|thumb|World -1 in ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'']]
| |
| In ''[[VS. Super Mario Bros.]]'', some bricks located above the end pipe are removed to prevent the trick from being performed. However, it is not impossible to access, as the player can clip through the bricks under the pipe<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzoziO7geG0 A video of the glitch being performed in the arcade version.]</ref> or the pipe itself.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3fl8xvzm7Y Another video with a slightly different method.]</ref> This version of the Minus World resembles the underwater portion of [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-2]]. This room is actually the first level to exist in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' code in all versions.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''===
| |
| Attempting to do this with the Warp Zone pipe to [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 4]] in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-2]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' will lead to two possible outcomes. First, it can send Mario or Luigi to the bonus area in another part of the level.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSeEby9qncA Glitch to 1-2 bonus area]</ref> Second, it could send him back to the underground bonus area of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-1]]. The game will still recognize the level as World 1-2 and the time will not reset. Completing it will send the player to [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-3]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/pCN4EziwS8k?t=910 Tutorial: How to Beat Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in 7:56]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHPCK8sGuuo TAS run showing the glitch to 1-1 bonus area]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===''All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.''===
| |
| By using the same trick in ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'', if Mario enters the leftmost pipe, he will instead be transported through the end-of-level pipe and be able to progress to World 1-3. If he enters the other pipes, he will be sent back to World 1-1, but it will be labeled 1-2 with the time not having been reset and all pipes hosting [[Piranha Plant]]s. If he completes this level, he progresses to World 1-3, but dying sends him back to the real World 1-2.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlsvjKF94Gc All Night Nippon 1-2 Warp Zone Oddities]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090922184453/http://sydlexia.com/all_night_nippon_smb.htm All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===''NES Remix'' series===
| |
| Most instances of ''Super Mario Bros.'' throughout the ''NES Remix'' series are direct emulations of the original game, meaning that most glitches, including the ability to access the Minus World, can be performed once again. However, due to the short nature of the various challenge stages throughout these games, any instances of accessing the Minus World cannot be performed. Although it is possible to perform the glitch in ''[[NES Remix]]''{{'}}s Remix I-16 (as it is a full run of World 1-2 but mirrored and playing as Luigi), attempting to use the Warp Zone in this stage will count as a miss, and as a result the glitch cannot be performed there.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Luigi Bros.'' (''NES Remix 2'')====
| |
| The Minus World can be entered in ''[[Super Luigi Bros.]]'' from ''[[NES Remix 2]]''; however, due to Luigi's higher jumps, it is trickier to do so than in the original game. Like the rest of this mode, it is mirrored so Luigi has to swim from right to left.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSngR733xdE Minus World in ''Super Luigi Bros.'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====''Speed Mario Bros.'' (''Ultimate NES Remix'')====
| |
| ''[[Speed Mario Bros.]]'', a version of the original game that plays twice as fast, is a mode found in ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]''. The Minus World here behaves like the rest of the mode.<ref>[https://youtu.be/NYPjZg-nTiU?t=268 Minus World in ''Speed Mario Bros.'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====Championship Mode (''NES Remix 2'' / ''Ultimate NES Remix'')====
| |
| [[File:UltimateNESRemix_MinusWorldChampionshipMode.png|thumb|right|The Minus World as seen in Championship Mode from ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]'']]
| |
| The first stage in Championship Mode in ''NES Remix 2'' and ''Ultimate NES Remix'' is set in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', starting at World 1-1 then progresses as normal until 50 [[coin]]s are collected or if the mode's timer is up. With this setup, it is possible to visit World 1-2 and perform the glitch to access the Minus World in this mode. Notably, because the coin counter is saved across worlds, it is possible to collect coins in advance in the first two levels to get enough to easily complete the stage while in the Minus World.
| |
| | |
| ===''Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition''===
| |
| Various challenges in ''[[Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition]]'' are direct emulations of the original games, which also include ''Super Mario Bros.''. However, while the Minus World glitch can be attempted in the challenges In the Zone and Mario Master, the game will detect doing the wall sliding glitch for the Minus World as a prohibited strategy, then rewind the player back to a point prior to doing the glitch, or (in the case of Mario Master) back to World 1-1. The timer will continue to run in these circumstances.<ref>[https://x.com/taktak7095110/status/1813615874760470913?s=46 Video by taktak7095110 on X] showcasing that attempting to enter the Minus World is prohibited in ''[[Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition]]'' (Japanese)</ref>
