I had 2 games in a row of Bowser's Big Blast where it ended with my brother and I being the last survivors, and in both games we went 9 times each (18 presses) before one of us found the bomb. And we did this without ever changing colour. I chose yellow every time, and he chose green every time. So the bomb was in purple every time. You think that's unlikely? After that I had a game with my mother, and 2 CPUs. We went 24 turns before ANYONE was eliminated. All 4 players got to press a switch 6 times before the first player exploded.

One time on Horror Land, DK used a triple dice then went across of the map via the eye, collected the star at the top of the map, opened the gate with his key, then got King Boo to steal all our coins. It was the sweatiest thing I've ever seen a CPU do. And he was on Normal. Edit: spelling error

Daisy was actually kinda crazy. Jacob spent the first section of the game basically bullying her and fighting Birdo instead only for her to become his arch enemy and biggest threat. Everything about that last game was poetry.

[@florence.5088]

To be fair Luigi didn't do absolutely nothing since a lot of strategy went into the board play. Alpharad bought and used a lot of items very strategically, and he also carefully chose who Boo should steal from. So It's more of a "Luigi won by losing every minigame" challenge, but it's still very impressive nonetheless. I think it would have been impossible to win by doing truly nothing.

i literally can't believe that Alpharad once again makes a perfectly suspenseful video. literally putting a twist at the VERY end of his successful run, staring in the eyes of the same fate he's seen all too much. overcomes that fate that wasted him hours of time before. making the release of tension not similar to other stories by cracking a joke. he literally made an unexpected story, by DOING NOTHING. god i WISH i could write plot like him. good storytelling, great video, i should watch your videos more despite being subscribed for years.
