Kosmic Finds Minus World in The Lost Levels on SNES All-Stars After Nearly 40 Years

All-Stars’ save–load behavior enables a chain of glitched warps into an endless loop that players can now verify.

Overview

  • The newly documented glitch exists in Super Mario All-Stars on SNES rather than the original Famicom release, as shown in Kosmic’s video.
  • The route relies on advancing into glitched stages, performing save–quit–reload steps, and exploiting a warped pipe in B-9 to continue progress.
  • Clearing through lettered worlds to B-D triggers corrupted values that generate an endlessly looping level state recognized as a Minus World.
  • The find echoes the famous 1985 Super Mario Bros. Minus World, underscoring similar glitch behaviors across versions and releases.
  • Nintendo Life and other outlets linked Kosmic’s YouTube walkthrough, and he credits the discovery’s delay to high difficulty and limited player interest due to required deep progress.
