We finally got another Direct!!
Like I said at the beginning, my bad on the lack of channel activity. I am hoping that changes very soon. Anyways, we finally got a the long awaited 2024 Nintendo direct, I think you already know what I'm gonna say. I could've been really good or really bad, unexpectedly it was above average, hopefully we get Switch 2 news soon.

5 Major Similarities between Super Mario World and Super Mario Wonder
First off, thank you all so much for the recent support on this channel. Especially on the last real video. I honestly didn't know how well it would have done, and the fact that its over 4k views is just amazing to me. Also this is the first video fully made in Washington DC. That includes everything from writing, audio, and editing.
The last video I did on Mario Wonder and World did really well, and since that video focused on the more philosophical similarities, why not also look at the more physical similarities as well. As stated in the video, this was the original idea for that video and instead of doing 10 smaller similarities I condensed a few smaller ones into one big one 5 different times. But in terms of the more smaller direct similarities, if any of you want to throw down some of your ideas in the comments I would love to have a further conversation about the link these two games share.
I know I'm making Mario Wonder Content months after its release, but I guess its working. But after this, I think I'm done with wonder (on youtube).

Mother 3 is Never Getting Localized
I know its been a little while since I've actually made a real upload, but this should hopefully hold some of you over for now. I wasn't planning on covering the partner showcase from this week, and I still won't. But this thing needs to be discussed. It's been a fun last few days.

Mario World/Wonder Up edit
I don't know why it took me this long to put this separate clip up but here it is.
This clip originates from a larger video I did last week here:
https://rumble.com/v4bo5e0-the-new-mario-world.html
I'm not sure if I stated it in the description of the last video, but this video was very special to me, this clip in particular. All of the live action segments were done the last night I was at home before moving to Washington DC. This clip in particular was also the first piece of content made for the video as well as just content in general. It was heavily inspired by a similar styled video (that I can't seem to find for some reason) but the premise was Mario Odyssey and Galaxy. Decided to make this a separate upload as well so if anyone was looking for it, it would be here and easy to find.

The New Mario World
This video is very long overdue. Obviously life has kinda been in the way over the last few months which explains why I'm late to this.
This is my long awaited take on Super Mario Wonder, kind of. See I know there really isn't too much to bring to the conversation that hasn't been said already about this game but no one seems to have touched upon the connections between this game and Super Mario World. In this video I talk about both Mario Wonder and World and how the two are more similar than many would assume, with some of my own gaming history and 2D Mario thrown in.
This video has definitely been in the back of my mind for a while now and I am happy to finally have finished it and be able to share it with all of you guys. And if we don't count the 2023 recap video (because I sure as hell don't) this is my first official video of 2024! And what better way to open up 2024 then talking about a game that came out in 2023!
What's also big about this particular video is that this is the first video on this channel made while I'm in Washington DC. I've been here for a little under a month now. Now that I'm settled in, hopefully I can start to have some more semi consistent uploads. One can only hope though :)
Also, I obviously used someone else's 2600 Donkey Kong footage

2023 a year in review - Aidan 548
So I know this is coming out way after then when I originally intended but I still feel like this was important to make an upload regardless. Hopefully I don't make this mistake again! Anyways, 2023 was defiantly a come back year for the channel. I just wanted to take some time to reflect upon the last year through the ups and downs just to give you guys a little more context, and hey maybe this becomes something historical for me, probably not, but hey you never know.
Either way it truly was an amazing year content wise and I plan on continuing with it, even though I'll defiantly have some hiccups along the way. I still have tons of video ideas that will hopefully get me through the next few months while I'm in D.C.
Here is to an amazing 2024!
Can't thank you guys enough!

What Exactly is Video Game Christmas Music?
Truthfully, I was not really too keen on releasing this on Christmas Eve but hey that's what I get for being a little lazy. Oh wait, it's actually Christmas Day, well there goes that. Honestly, the video was too far through to scrap it. Makes me want to revive an older video from March. Anyways, my excuse is that there's gotta be somewhere currently where it's still December 24th.
For the last few years I have been enamored with the idea of Video Game Christmas Music. In this video I go into this topic much further and in depth. If you guys disagree or feel as though I left out some important candidates (which I already know that I have) feel free to start a conversation down in the comments. Anyways, this seems like its the semi Christmas special for the channel so enjoy the video!
And as I said in the video everyone enjoy their Christmas and New Years!
-Aidan 548
With the amount of games I talked about, there were some samples I needed to borrow from other people here on YouTube. Although these creators are credited in the actual video, its only right that their original videos are linked here as well.
In order of Appearance:
Earthbound footage by Yoshiller:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCHLkjTjwE0
I have Earthbound on the SNES classic, but I had already completed the snow section. There was no feasible way for me to reproduce the footage myself
Super Mario Bros. 3 footage by silksofsweden:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EcUzsm_U-Y&t=7s
This was a case of no way in hell was I able to get this footage in time, truly done for a pure convince factor.
Kirby's Epic Yarn footage by Zephiel810:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCHLkjTjwE0
I have played and completed Kirby's Epic Yarn but for some reason I can't find my copy of the game.
Yoshi's Woolly World footage by NintenU:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=derl8Hx3m6A
As I said in the video, I don't own a Wii U and it really is the only true way to play it.

Christmas Shit
This was a last minute idea I had, and now that it's finished, I actually really like how it turned out. Anyways I used to do this back in the day when I did gameplay videos, and no, I am not unearthing those videos. Kinda weird to be able to do this for the first time since 2020 but still nice none the less.
Since I made mention to it in the video here is the link for the Aidan's Bricks Channel and Instagram:

A Complete Overview of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass
With the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass finally coming to a close, I thought it would be a good time to look back and go over the entirety of this thing from start to finish. This video goes through a brief enough overview of all 6 waves of the booster course pass that has spanned over the last two years. Anyway, this has been my life for the last two weeks, hope you guys enjoy ;)
As promised, if this is the first Mario Kart video you have come across and want more detailed opinions on waves 4 through 6 here they are:
Wave 4:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu1sC-8b0lo
Wave 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ_oY51h2Mg&t=152s
Wave 6:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDp265x7qCc&t=353s
If you're wondering why there are not extensive videos on the first three, simply put, I didn't make them. I probably should have and have been kicking myself for not doubling down back then but this will have to do.
Again I had some help on this video and want to thank Crim, Ryan, and Jake for the help on some of the smaller segments. Anyways, I think this might be it for Mario Kart related content for a little while on the Channel, its been a good run, if you've stuck around since the fist installment on wave 4 and are reading this, I cannot thank you enough.

Mario Kart Wave 6: The End of an Era
The final wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is finally here bringing an end to this two-year-long experiment. It's kind of weird to experience because it's a day none of us ever felt like we would get to. But alas it's here. And of course, for me, it's the end of this almost year-long journey making these videos. Overall it has been a wild two years and wave 6 is most definitely a satisfying conclusion.
Let it be known that this is the quickest turnaround for a booster course video I have ever done. I have been running on fumes but hey it is finally here. Anyway, if you enjoy the video give it a like and share, I've put a lot of time and effort into it so any recognition would be greatly appreciated!
Also, as you could tell, I once again had some help with this video.
So a special thanks to Ryan and Crim for the help on this video
(Fun fact: they were both somewhat involved with the first video back in Wave 4)

Amiibo Hunting
Yes, if some of you remember me from back in the day, I still collect amiibo quite frequently. About a week ago me and a few buddies went out to get the two new Tears of the Kingdom Amiibo. I decided to make a video out of it. Thought it would be a funny video, but you guys will be the judge of that. Also Wave 6 is on the way!
As you could tell, I had some help with this video so special thanks to Ryan and Jake for the help
They didn't want me to link anything :/

What Happened to Piranha Plant Pipeline? (Mario Kart Wave 6)
Yes it's true I did make this because I saw a meme from here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoNe5RezA9Y&t=11s
Anyway its an interesting conversation piece that I think we should look at a little more, it is still really strange that Nintendo did this because all the tour tracks seemed like a guarantee, guess not.
I have a few things in the works currently so stay tuned, once I'm out of this rut I am back for sure.
Also I am well aware now that it is called Piranha Plant Pipeline instead of Pipeway, my bad

Mario World Tribute in #supermariowonder
This was a section in the first world in Mario Wonder. It is essentially a tribute to the bonus rooms in Mario world with the same music. As you can tell I absolutely love this room.
Also this was a clip from a larger video I'm working on

How Likely is Booster Course Pass 2?
How likely is it that we will be getting a second booster course pass as a part of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Today I go into some of the most popular arguments for a second booster course pass.
Disclaimer:
I am not saying that these reasons confirm a second booster course is coming. Even after making this video I am still unsure if it will really happen. Rather I want to start a discussion using some of the strongest arguments for why people believe it may be coming in the future.
In all honestly, as much as I find these arguments to be very strong, I'm not 100% sold on the idea of a second booster course pass.
At the end of the day, one can only hope and dream ;)
Anyway if you think this video had some good points or the video was somewhat well made, please like and share!

Is the Switch 2 actually the Switch Pro?
Yea that's right, I said it. If you watch the video it starts to make sense. Accounting for Nintendo's actions during the Wii U and 3DS days gives us some good indicators as to what this new switch might be. Let me know what you think in the comments down below.
Thank you for watching and checking out the description down here ;)

How Daisy Circuit Changes Everything (Mario Kart Wave 6)
I was both lazy and way overkilling it while making this.
Anyway Daisy Circuit kinda changes everything in terms of what we thought wave 6 was going to be like. Kinda weird to me that no one is really talking about this, so I might as well throw in my two cents.
Also thank you guys for the support on the pikmin video, a lot of effort went into that one and the fact that it is almost at 400 views is really cool to me. I start gaining subs again and gave me a little boost of confidence :)

Something about Pikmin
Since I've completed Tears of the Kingdom, I have been obsessed with Pikmin 4. It's the first real pikmin game I've ever played and it is one of the most unique experiences I have ever had. Anyway just wanted to encapsulate that in this video along with some funny sketches I added to suplement it. Enjoy ;)
Also thank you guys for the support of the last video. If you enjoy this video, give it a like and share it around, meme it if you want to.

So much Mario!: Nintendo Direct September 2023
Sorry this is not coming out right after the direct, as I said in the video I was in class as it wrapped up. Anyways keeping up tradition with another Nintendo direct breakdown. I think it's safe to say Nintendo is truly back and is here to stay.
Also, I mentioned this in the video but I have been super stressed lately with school and all that fun shit. But I still have this huge passion for making videos. I'm going to try and upload semi consistently from now on starting (hopefully) next week. At this point, it's more about just making rather than trying to keep a consistent schedule. If you don't mind commenting or just sharing my stuff around I would really appreciate it!

Wave 5: The one that just came and went
I know. A little earlier compared to wave 4's video. It should've been out this past weekend but I was out of town. Anyway, this is my overview of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster course wave 5. It seems that this wave kind of went under everyone's radar due to how much content Nintendo has been throwing at us recently. Normally this wave would be a huge deal, but it hasn't been that way. Either way, it was a solid wave 5 with some amazing tracks.
Enjoy the video ;)
