  • In this video, I find out how many jumps are actually needed to beat Super Mario Galaxy (2007)
    Jumping is any time Mario pushes off the ground with his feet.

    The 100% run is up now! (also at 2:58 you can see I jump but the counter doesn't go up, this is because I accidently added a clip where I jump. you can clearly see that it's possible to complete without jumping though)

  • @lamenwatch1877

    That's really neat to see someone defining a "jump" in a realistic way, as opposed to "an a/b/x/y press". I mean, those definitions are fine, and they make the rules simpler, but it's nice to see a jump just be... a jump.
    EDIT: 10:38
    I'm serious, every game developer ever forgets the backwards speed cap.

    • @KatherynneF
      @KatherynneF Před rokem +30

      I just hate when people use their own definitions to say "well I didn't mention this earlier sooo technically it's not a jump" instead of a logical "would someone call this a jump in a casual playthrough."
      Like using the jump button to jump higher on a spring because mario isn't doing the animation so it doesn't count? That's a jump.

    Hey Ansel G! Somewhat-pro Galaxy player here, and I'm here to report that I found eleven jump saves in different levels! Here's the breakdown:
    Honeyhive 2: I came up with an insane solution to saving the star grab jump. Play the level just like you did before, but when you get to the tree trunk, fall down onto the intended platform. Then fall off and die. This is important later. You hit a checkpoint there, so now go up and hit the switch (which IS possible) and defeat the boss. Now, fall back down onto the Launch Star that takes you to the higher planets. This is why you died earlier: the piranha plant RESPAWNS, so you can do the tricky jump again! Then, get up on the tree trunk like before and carefully fall right on top of the now-spawned star! 1 jump saved.
    Beach Bowl 1: There exists a dumb, inconsistent glitch called a shore launch... the video will explain it. Anyway, do it once to break the cage, then again, but angled to fall right onto the star. (It is possible, but not pictured.) 3 jumps saved.
    Toy Time 2: Yep, you can make it. 1 jump saved.
    Star Reactor: When you crouch spin, you can bonk twice. If you bonk twice, Mario goes into a freefall state. He can grab ledges in this state, so that saves one jump on the staircase. 1 jump saved.
    Melty Molten 1: You can go into first-person to activate the Pull Star from far away without jumping. This also works in other levels like A Very Spooky Sprint, which makes it easier jumpless. I'm surprised you didn't know about this. 1 jump saved.
    Sea Slide 3: Solved with the power of crab. 1 jump saved.
    Space Junk 1/Space Junk Comet: It was mentioned in another comment, but here's video proof. 1 jump saved for each.
    Toy Time 3: There is a solution: just don't play this level! Instead, you can play Deep Dark Secret. It's easy to get to the boo in a box, but the box itself is a little tricky. You can spin-bonk to grab the nails and go off of those (not a jump by your rules), and precisely damage-boost to some spring platforms. You do need to jump one time to grab the star at the end, but that's still better than two jumps to beat Toy Time 3. Better route, 1 jump saved.
    The video proof (bad quality): czcams.com/video/YhcmWIrvK_Y/video.html
    That should be everything! The total jumps needed is now 44! I'll edit this comment if I find any more!

      I will neither confirm nor deny if that was on purpose

    Small note with Pull Stars: if you're playing the 3D All-Stars version, you can grab them without jumping by using the touchscreen in Handheld Mode.

    This was a fantastic video, it was really well paced and some of your ways of overcoming the challenge were really creative! My only bit of feedback is that I think it could've been more compelling if you'd turned it into more of a narrative rather than just a counter. My favourite challenge videos tend to be the ones where a goal is established early on - if you've seen CMeeCraft's "Mario Galaxy 2 with no Star Bits" video, you can really feel his resolve to fulfill his goal and the insane lengths he goes to in order to do so. Obviously "no jumps at all" wouldn't have been a viable goal here, but I think it would've been good to establish a goal early on (say, "I want to get 61 stars in less than 60 jumps") and let that drive the narrative of the video.
    Again, this was fantastic, I just think that change could be a step towards something even better :)

      true, I was originally going to do 60, but I decided not to for some reason

    Great video! I believe that a 1 jump run for the first space junk Galaxy star is possible. There is a pull star momentum exploit you can use at the beginning of the stage to skip the 3 balls with the star shards, which in theory should remove 2 jumps.

      I saw someone say this in another comment and I am 100% sure that this will work
