Few games have glitches as visceral as Mario literally strolling out-of-bounds right through memory locations with individual bytes conveniently represented as various types of blocks. In this run, dwangoAC and link_7777 wander through strange areas and show how interacting with various blocks has a direct impact on how the game behaves, culminating in a surprise ending.
