How Many Jumps Does it Take to Beat Super Mario Galaxy 2?

[@Ansel_G]

The 100% run is here, there's a lot more tricks in this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXIdnWwgdagppo

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

Minimum jumps is fun.

[@Sabagegah]

Oh hey this was exactly what I was going to ask for in the comments.

[@Boomey99]

7:49 “It does require a jump to get into the piape” *shows clip of him getting in without a jump*

[@Ansel_G]

It’s either jump before the pipe area or jump at the pipe area, I fix it at the start of the 100% video

[@SawBSketch]

Honestly using the rule "A move that has Mario using his legs to push off the ground" is a very accurate and extremely simple rule, it should be the baseline

[@VlanimationTales]

I agree with you!

[@treyg1]

The Galaxy games are two of my favorite games of all time, and your videos on them are outstanding! All the strategies you've concocted must've taken a LONG time to create and master

[@Ansel_G]

They did take a long time, I’m glad you liked it

[@HiddenBush64]

@@Ansel_G I wish I could be as skilled at games as you are

[@HiddenBush64]

I gotta say though, if you decide to make a 100 percent run is SMG2, man those green stars are gonna be rough

[@donaldducksavechina3298]

im actually blown away i didn’t know about the hidden section at 6:00!!!! I had a mini heart attack when i was like NOOOO WAY that exists!😭 COMPLETELY blown away lol

[@Ansel_G]

I didn’t know until I was actively searching for ways to not jump

[@PWLfr]

Guy broke the physics of the game to save a single jump

[@nady2296]

The flipping slides planet trick was amazing :O

​@@Ansel_G Exactly, you know.

[@portavin13]

Here, my guys, is easily the best video game ever known to society, THE example of perfection in game development. Everything from the first game, but better and more, a pure legend.

[@horizon3064]

Your Super Mario Galaxy series has been crazy. The first videos already blew me away and your style of making these is just amazing

[@Ansel_G]

Glad you like them

[@calebp6114]

Really impressive stuff! Would love to see a 100% minimum jumps sometime!

[@bennickss]

It’s criminal that SMG2 wasn’t included in 3D All Stars

[@minimoomi]

I love the insane alternative things you do for the challenges it impresses me every time

1:34 so much emphasis on that Octoomba 😂

[@Ansel_G]

it's a fun word to say

[@xx_g4m3rsw4g_xx]

Impressive platforming skills! Didn't expect to see such obscure movement and tech in these types of runs.

[@Ansel_G]

I’m glad you enjoyed it, bringing games to their limit is always a pleasure.

[@hotrodhammee]

After all this time this game is still one of my favorite games ever, and I genuinely believe that this is the best mario game, even if it is just part nostalgia, or if its just the spectacle and variety of the gameplay throughout the game.

[@ParkerWillLose]

I love how people still remember this game, it is probably my favorite mario game

[@ireneguoz7088]

Galaxy Master right here! Great job, Ansel San!

[@mackeralface]

What I’m earth was happening to the main menu at 28:50? I have never seen that before. I love it.

Messing around with freecam haha

[@sirsquidpotato3027]

this guy casually pulls out the most insane techs out of nowhere and barely explains lol, its so cool.

[@atsukana1704]

Best run I have seen so far of this, I believe you cut the number in half of the last one I saw

[@Ansel_G]

Wait till you see the 100% run (pinned comment) I slightly lower this score and then get the remaining 170 stars

[@fluxie31_old]

I saw your SMG1 vid a while back, and after seeing this, I am very excited to see a part 2, since I really think 2's gameplay outshines 1's a lot c:

[@dyjhjfrtt6607]

I have never seen some of the insane ways you can break this game! Great video!

[@lowkeydangerous7706]

Some of these mechanics used like bouncing off the luma to ground pound and using the goombas to bounce across the deadly goop is so impressive. How you thought of this is amazing

[@Bennen12]

You ARE good at the game :) Not that I ever doubted that, of course, esoecially after completing a minimum jump challance of the first SMG. But I'm impressed that you beat the prankster comet of yoshi's galaxy at the start of the game (can't remember what that one's called) - I never managed to beat this one, even with jumps

[@KOxArtist2]

The flip side trick made me want to keep watching

[@madlad255]

An original challenge, nice strats and high-quality editing: I'm definitely gonna take notes from this. I especially like the attention to detail for the text you add in during boss fights, for example at 24:43 part of the text goes behind King Whomp but in front of the background. That must have taken some time to get right! But yeah, keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it well!

[@Ansel_G]

Thanks, I hope you’ll enjoy the 100% run as well (linked in the pinned comment)

[@deleteduser8574]

Whenever I watched your SMG1 min-jumps run, I was really impressed by the amount of effort you put into it. You definitely deserve all the love you've been given, and then some. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@GDRhythmic]

I tried doing this a few months ago and got to world two. I didn't see your video at the time but somehow I managed to use pretty much all of the exact same strategies??????? No idea how that works.

[@UniversalGalaxy2]

Bro I was thinking it will take around 80 or so jumps to do this but 23 is insane. Big props

[@GrainSummoner]

Genuinely shocked at the number of subs you have, considering the quality of this video I would've thought you'd had a couple hundred thousand subs. Keep up the good work man 👍

[@jayjam_]

I cant wait for my little autistic self to receive a whopping entire playthrough of mario galaxy 2 in the near future c:

[@monsterdenmaps]

I have a big problem with the fact this doesn’t have more views, and you don’t have more subscribers. Like, this is amazing editing, and I’m genuinely angry you don’t have more attention. Bravo, take my like and subscribe

[@Ansel_G]

don't worry bro, I just uploaded it. it'll surely get more views later on

[@adammaxson3516]

I feel like this video is about to blow up

[@fernando98322]

6:00 no idea that was behind there. You always learn about a new hidden 1-up in Mario games every so often

[@Ansel_G]

I've gotten so many comments about this area, I'm happy I wasn't the only one who didn't know this was here for a while.

[@darkraixhu]

Yknow I’ve been playing this game since it came out and Im still learning some very neat tricks that I never hear anywhere in glitch or exploit videos

[@Ansel_G]

these tricks are pretty "underground" not many people know about them.

[@thumbpolkm3511]

dude this video is sick, plus the editing is hilarious and super high quality. hope this gets more attention cause you deserve it!

[@deadpoptart2348]

I finally got a psychical copy of this game ,you made it look so easy I might try it my self lol. Seriously tho impressive as always

[@theiscomaster]

That was awesome! I love challenges like these. I'd like if the jump counter was always visible on screen in the corner so it's easier to see your jump count without having to wait for the next one. But overall, very impressive video!

[@Ansel_G]

Thanks, I might have the counter on all the time for the next video.

[@gubbothehuggo2771]

Miyamoto gets another grey hair for every "can you beat (x mario game) without" video.

Finally a Mario challenge done by an actually skilled player

[@Ansel_G]

I'm glad you appreciate the skill I had to gain for this

[@aapopaunonen8404]

You HAS to start speedrunning super mario galaxy. I started it after ive completed both games many times, and it brought me so much more fun to do with the game. I recommend to speedrun the 1st game because the second has the stupid yoshi trick which kind of ruins many levels. However ur content is amazing and your videos are fun to watch so I would love to see videos about how u improve your speedruns!

[@notaskdtr9144]

Mvp of this run: goomba

Lovely video as always, Galaxy 2 was one of my favourite video games as a child so I was looking forward to reliving it through this challenge. A lot of amazing tricks, can't wait to see the 100% now ! Some green stars especially shall be interesting

[@Ansel_G]

I am dreading those green stars a bit haha the jump counter will definitely move up a ton

[@Sabagegah]

Could you skip the jump to the first launch star in Supermassive by repeatedly spinning between the thwomps to get on top of them?

[@Sacrifice4Hades]

Production quality is top notch and some of these exploits are wild! Great video!

[@TLoZforever]

[@Grane1234]

Great video, you knew alot more tricks than I thought you would. Just a thing though if you're gonna do 100%, you'll be able to save at least 1 jump in puzzle plank 1 by using a trick called the Mega Sideflip and skip the wall jump section by using only 1 jump

[@Ansel_G]

wall costs 1 jump, the boss also costs 1 jump. there is also a strat where you could use a flipbug above the wall but it's ultraprecise. it's possible for 1 jump but it's one of the hardest ones

[@pkdesuwu]

well, lucky for you there is another video for the remaining 172 stars

@@Ansel_G I will definitely watch that one too :D

[@torterratortellini6641]

26:39 for me, this is the hardest star to get in the entire game. I say this because I have not gotten to the point of being able to do the perfect run.

[@kattnip500]

Fun fact! You can save a jump in sky station 1 and I think gobblegut by using a trick called crystal leviation to just Float up to the star

[@Ansel_G]

You need Luigi to do it, I’m pretty sure Mario is unable to get the height needed (It’s also extremely difficult)

8:15 Lol when I first did this a year or so ago, I spent ~20 minutes and many fails trying to use the momentum from the flip panel to launch me up & above the star (did the same for the green stars, later). Took an incredibly long time, but it did eventually work!

You know, you could have collected the comet mission in Sweet Mystery Galaxy, it probably requires 0 jumps and could have replaced the star of Supermassive Galaxy that requires 2 jumps

Come never showed up, still one available even after endgame for some reason

[@TheCloudyoshi]

@@Ansel_G based on guides, I think that one didn't show up because you didn't do the Puzzle Plank Comet, which in turn didn't show up cause you didn't do the Cloudy Court Comet

@@TheCloudyoshi purple coin comet in cloudy court unlocks other purple coin stars but it also costs like 12 jumps to do so it wouldn’t be worth

[@rioluwu5921]

Just watched 100% run, absolutely amazed & I really, really love it. No way I can replicate it lol but I'll try. Anyways, I just had an idea related to the Bowser's Castle galaxies, specifically in W6. This requires several things to be true, but maybe. If you could continue to infinite flutter with Yoshi up & over the gate (so long as there isn't an invisible wall), then you may be able to make it to the cutscene activation area (if that's how it works at least) and start the fight without spending any jumps trying to open the gate. It'd would be less cool unfortunately but hey, less jumps

[@Ansel_G]

that was the first thing I tried, you need the door to be open to activate the cutscene unfortunately I even clipped inside the door and nothing happened

[@rioluwu5921]

28:43 Yoo he made it to the cool kids table!

[@Ansel_G]

yupp

[@avdollo]

i don’t mean this as an insult, but your videos are really good to fall asleep to imo

[@Ansel_G]

I've had another person say this before, I think it's a good thing

[@TheYodelingViking]

Any level you can reach Yoshi without jumping is achievable through the infinite flutter as you don't count that as a jump.

[@Ansel_G]

Not necessarily, you can’t do certain things with yoshi. (Pretty much just ground pounds)

[@TheYodelingViking]

@@Ansel_G Oh yeah, but pretty much every level not 2D or requiring specific actions to make the star appear.

[@rangermansgaming7717]

Think spinning should count as jumping. Because you are mostly. Just seems little low on jump to believe. But you good for, serving you splatoon 3 story video.

[@Ansel_G]

Spinning while not grounded gives Mario height, he never jumps from it but he does get lifted up by the force of his spin. Sort of like link’s recovery move in smash bros

[@whosthatfighter]

6:02 I’ve beaten this game 3 times and never knew about this secret area…

[@Ansel_G]

I've gotten a lot of comments about this area haha, I showed a few hard to reach areas in the 100% run also.

[@Manny_09]

I’ve beat this game 100% 4 time and never knew about the passage in 6:00

[@The_Clanker]

Now the real question is how many jumps does it take to 100% Mario Galaxy 2?

[@msunflowers]

oh hey! i tried to route this a while back but never ended up finishing. it’s actually really cathartic to see this challenge come to completion, and you did a fantastic job putting it together in this vid! (so satisfying seeing the tech with prince picante work bc i knew it was possible but couldn’t do it… yess!) here are some of my ramblings upon viewing: it’s funny seeing your experiences with smg2 jumpless vs mine, and recognizing the techs i had to use. little things like the tiny section with onion-looking enemies at 4:52 were so fun to puzzle out… and i ADORED the beat block stars too! they’re actually more fun jumpless than not imo we had slightly different rulesets but ran into similar bottlenecks. the intro to yoshi star galaxy almost made me quit there and then, it is soo annoying 😭and you’re really selling yourself short with the meteor tech! trying to pull it off MULTIPLE TIMES should be considered a form of torture. made me laugh when you admitted you rerouted for fluffy bluff, because when you skipped some of those stars i was practically yelling at the screen lol. but wait… regarding 21:16, what did you do about the little watery planet with the shadow clones and the comet medal? i was shocked too that it took no jumps to get there, but don’t you have to jump on the wooden platform to get to the launch star and leave? i only managed to get atop it once MAYBE with janky spin/bounce physics but i was convinced i had accidentally pressed a. unless you got the height from holding a midair? also you got 12000 for the chimps stomp challenge??? i may just be a lot worse at smg2 lol but i could barely get 10000 after multiple tries! maybe i just missed some of the extra 1ups?? that is shocking to me. (despite having trouble i found this to be another one of the most fun jumpless stars though!) and finally… at 6:10 you had to jump? this is the one thing i was able to do jumpless that wasn’t in the vid. i thiiink i used the janky cloud physics but maybe i’m misremembering? but yeah, this video is incredibly well put together! challenge runs on games like these always strip them down and show off how their mechanics tick and it’s always so rad. here’s hoping the video blows up like the first jumpless smg!

[@Ansel_G]

I’m glad you liked it! The comet medal in fluffy bluff isn’t needed so I skipped it.

[@msunflowers]

@@Ansel_G right! but how did you get on the wooden platform to access the launch star? i’m talking about 4:17 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSTZZeeeNhrgM0

[@Ansel_G]

gain some kickback height from the wooden platform and let a shadow clone knock you onto it. (I don't remember exactly what I did but I would assume I did that since it's definitely possible)

[@msunflowers]

@@Ansel_G ok i’m so sorry for harping on about a little detail like this 😭 but how could that be possible when the shadow clones vanish when you collect all 5 star pieces and activate the launch star? hmmmm i only ask because i wasted a ton of time on that little planet and i was surprised it wasn’t mentioned. you probably just spun onto it somehow though
