"I've never seen or heard of anyone doing this, but you actually jump on the penguin's head and ride him." That's the only way I've ever known how to cross that bridge. Ever since I was a tiny child. And I didn't have a strategy guide or the internet or friends that played it as well. Yet if you asked me how I figured it out, I really don't remember. Especially when getting on the penguin's head can be a struggle sometimes. Maybe my brother did it or told me.

@@TetraBitGaming Yeah sure it is...

[@conscious-ness]

Fun fact: The toads in SMB1 were originally called "Mushroom Retainers" for some odd reason. It's possible the person who wrote the guide was somehow unaware of the updated name, although that would be pretty unlikely given that the name Toad had been in use since at least SMB2.

[@noname-jt6kl]

It could have been related to how they were trapped in the blocks in SMB1?

[@ponteirodorato]

I guess that was actually a translation error, but that's just a theory, a book theo-

[@pokepress]

“Retainer” is also used at least once in the Mario cartoons, for what it’s worth.

[@robertanderson9447]

At one point he shows a page with a "Toad's Tips" section. So the guide's writers were seemingly aware. Maybe they just wanted to be corny again.

[@conscious-ness]

@@robertanderson9447 You know, now that I think about it, the guide does refer to them as "Peach's loyal mushroom retainers", so maybe the writers used it as a title for higher-ranking Toads? Still a confusing decision nonetheless.

I think you should do a challenge where you try to time yourself to see how fast you can complete individual stages in Mario 64. The time ends when you get the last star of the stage. Then try it again to beat your personal best on that stage !

My favourite ability in any Mario game BY FAR, is the "Pound the Ground" move. Definitely the best.

No Tetra. You get the stars in Order they come on the screen. Thats common sense since you cant see the other star descriptions until you get the star before it. This needs to be re done if you want it Nintendos intended way. AND YOU KNEW THAT!

[@Charadoesthatgaming]

I love these kind of videos

[@myrmatta1]

I did something similar recently when replaying Super Mario Galaxy. I only performed actions that were expressly taught to me by the game. Not even a long jump or wall kick was allowed until I found the relevant instructional sign. It was pretty neat. I had to restrain myself from using the crazy maneuvers I usually do.

[@galeforce3192]

And here I thought the reason you never jumped on the penguin's head in all those earlier challenges was because of the limitations of the controller setups. I remember jumping on the penguin's head when I first played the game, although I think I found that trick by pure accident. XD In later runs I almost always used the cannon, because I usually had the Vanish Cap by this point, so I had a reason to go into the igloo. That and I didn't like the risk of being blown off and losing my cap if I missed the jump. That penguin can walk pretty quickly. When it wants to. Another reason I use the cannon is the penguin's seemingly inconsistent movements. There probably is a pattern, but I've been using the cannon too much to take the time to figure it out. P. S. If I had this guide as a kid, I think I'd have been the only kid I knew who'd have caught that AC/DC reference. That's what happens when you grow up listening to classic rock radio. XD
