Why the need for this trash

I've wondered this as well.
In fact, wasn't there another level with this setup, but they changed it for the US version?

>>7764012
There's a whole lot of levels like that, hence my question, but the butthurt squad is already here I see

>>7764012
Looking back, I'm assuming it is some sort of limitation with the game. No World 4 level has you end while things are in the "big" graphic set, they all make you go to a standard set with the exit.

>>7763991
I want to tell you the technical reason why, OP, but not as much as I want to make fun of you for not appreciating the simple fact that having to take a warp pipe to an area outside the underground/underwater area you were in makes the stage as a whole feel just a little more interesting. In other words, why NOT just take the extra step so the player sees two different sets of scenery in one stage rather than go the lazy route and place the end goal right smack dab in the middle of the water level or whatever so that some anon who wasn't even born when the game came out won't question it decades later.

>>7763991
Because there’s a wall in the way, dumbass

Mario 3 is best Mario.

Judging by the clouds it looks like you're exiting Giant Land back to regular land.

>>7764061
Yes. Yes, it is.

>>7764039
But I was referring to levels where it's the same scenery, like I posted in the OP pic. In underground or underwater level it's understandable.

>>7764085
OP btfo a second time, incredible

>>7764094
Hmmm yes getting a sensible reply that resolves my doubts is a savage btfo

>>7764089
OK, well the technical reason is that the game needs to switch to a different CHR (graphics) table, and the only way to do that on the NES without it looking jarring is to either fade to black (accomplished here by going down a pipe) or enter a middle area where the game can preload a new table. An example of the latter would be the hallways between vertical shafts in Metroid (used more for palette switching, but still) and the corridors between the doors leading to the stage bosses in Mega Man games.

Thanks for the explanation anon, very cool!

>>7764103
How will I ever recover

>>7764106
No problem!

>>7763991
Probably so they can reuse the same end screen for several levels, such saving space. Instead of having 2 different level end sections, you use the same one for two different levels.

>>7764089
> it's the same scenery

it's probably not the same scenery. On the left it's the big version. The chr is divided into several parts, it's possible they kept part 1 the same but part 2 of the chr had to be changed for the ending.

>>7764025
This is the reason. Tons of the levels have unorthodox designs that don’t mesh well with that final goal bit. The pipe warps are an easy way to link them together.

>>7764039
I mean, copy pasting the same level ending for every stage is quite obviously the more lazy option.

>>7764112
You won't, because you're frail and gay, which is why you are now initiating your descent into becoming a tranny gaymer.

>>7764098
i don't think the reason is smooth CHR swapping, but actually to save space. SMW does this too often, there's a special goal room used by many levels.

>>7763991
So they can save space by reusing ending screens.

>Tons of the levels have unorthodox designs that don’t mesh well with that final goal bit.
Nah, it was to change the CHR tables

>>7765305
chr changing is a nice bonus but the legit reason was to save space on room amount

>>7763991
becoz fuuuk a uuuuu

Hey come on, they don't ALL kill themselves. Maybe OP will, against all odds, pass well and become a pretty lady. That's a win for everybody! The world needs more pretty ladies, and less OPs.
