[@abaddonarts1129]

Aw you could have used the 3D 8bit costume for mario when he wasn't 2D! That would have been cool, also if there's ever a way to have Bowser be 2D as well because he can hover just like Mario can

[@lukeblack8146]

The sprites for 2D Bowser are used in the escape sequence, surely it can't be too much harder for that to be added to the mod. Then again I've got no experience in switch modding.

I've always wanted a Generations-style game where Mario teams up with his past 8-bit self, and I hope that rather than copystriking this video Nintendo actually takes notes from this if they see it.

[@forg_is_real]

they would take it down as soon as they saw it or like you said, copyright strike it

[@j.b.5422]

and they would only be more likely to strike it if they actually planned to make a game like that

[@ItsDragonPlayer]

i think they would take it down because it encouriges homebrewing your switch or an emulator and then editing the game and nintendo dosent want that

[@Ultigames2nd]

@@ItsDragonPlayer I think Nintendo has good intentions, but striking down modded videos is not a good thing to do, especially when it’s their games

For anyone wondering, you cant save a swap by running up into the wire as a pokio because if you do so you will just turn back into 2D Mario.

Bowser definitely should also be 2d during the ending sequence

Yeah, I hoped there was a "this is the end of the 2d and SIKE! BOWSER IS 2D" kind of plot twist but no. Lame

[@Erik_The_grate]

20:37 the reason it looks wrong is because Mario had a swimming animation in Mario Bros but here he's just in his jumping pose

[@bb010g]

His physics also aren't changing for the water, aside from gaining an infinite amount of normal jumps.

Oh this was such a cool idea! I loved this video very much, it was so cool to see how much the mechanics of 2d Mario could carry you through! Thanks for the video, very much!

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I wanna see you do a Super Cappy Odyssey mod (doesn't currently exist). Where there is no mario, and you only play as cappy using the control scheme that player 2 would usually use. How much of the game is beatable with JUST cappy?

[@missingnumberaxolotl-9079]

Do you think you could do Darker Side as 2D Mario? Great vid, and I love your content!

[@Roman_Holiday]

Great content as always, keep it up!

Yo Fir, bring the pokio up to the last wire in bowsers kingdom, the pokio will die and Mario will go into the wire, he shouldn’t become 3d when this happens

Fun fact: in cap kingdom, after he died, I saw my own message from eleven months ago. Back then I was brandonboii 😅

[@giftgiver23]

I’m not sure what prompted this, but now I want to see someone make a mod where you play as bowser the whole time and see how far you can get.

[@Winged_Spider]

25:30 I believe you could have saved a swap by walking to the wire in the pokio similar to the trick you used at the 2 wires on the shop island.

[@reigndoesthings]

I think the 5-second timer includes captures. it just doesn't take effect wile in a capture, which is why he instantly swapped back after un-capturing the second wire.

[@elifriedman5128]

Hi fir love ur vids keep up the work

[@ardynizunia9709]

While it would be boring, technically the strategy for the lowest amount of swaps would be to just swap at the start and play the game entirely as 3D Mario. Obviously not the point, but I wanted to point it out, because in theory it fits all the criteria of the run and is the lowest amount of swaps possible xD 4:55 Nevermind, should've mentioned that timer earlier lol.

[@Gaming32i]

This "gaslighting" trick reminds me of the saveload glitch from Portal lol.

[@Shavocs]

Something that would have been cool was whenever Mario is 2d, the 8-bit version of where you’re at would play and when you swap to 3d, the original song would play

[@TheBreadLord_]

25:35 you can acually poke a wire to get on it so ANOTHER RUN RETRY

[@Pokenite_Animations]

Let's not let this video distract us from the fact that Mr. Krabs sold Spongebob's soul for 62 cents.

[@ryderfitzhugh4354]

9:13 I used to not know how to talk to the sphinx in wooded so I ran across the wall falling in the deep woods several times and immediately getting out cause I was scared, (now I’m not) and when I finally did it I felt good and 12:38 you can do lost kingdom cappyless but it is hard to do deathless and easy to do with a couple deaths and I’m not telling which moons to get. If you really wanna make sure you don’t mess up and use him just let Clepto keep Cappy and after you get the moons just take back Cappy

[@electroenjoyer2437]

I feel like moon skip could be done better using 2 player floating, along with some other things that might be able to be cut out.

[@ecofunkblues]

yes omg this video i wwas thinking you were going to do this mod again

[@TELofficial]

The "NOOOOOOOO" in metro Kingdom was hilarious

[@Pantactrum]

27:23 Cappy without the cap, just eyes

[@beefbaby8312]

Imagine being the bird in sand kingdom and getting swatted away by a piece of paper

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I really don't get the difference between this and captureless. Like other than pick things up, interact with seats and vehicles, dive, roll, backflip, triple jump and wall jump, it's pretty much the same. Like, I know that's sounds like alot of things I just listed, but other than wall jump and dive, they are trivial at best. Like, the fact that you still have cap-bounce. . . that, to me, just blurs the line completely between this and captureless but with a model-swap. Like when you hear the title of "2D mario" you think none of 3D marios main movesets. Cap-bounce and cap throw is like the main of main in this game tho.

[@maxuniverse7801]

10:11 this is why bowser thinks Mario is shit. Never would have guessed honestly.

i never knew that the spiny room in snow saves your progress when you only kill some of the spinies i guess that makes sense since it's on the same map as the rest of shivaria

I would love to see you try this game blindfolded while a friend guides you

[@eimazd]

Wow, 2D Mario is absolutely glued to Bowser there, huh? I guess that Chalkeaters song was right...

[@awesometomxd]

You should have referred to the gaslighting trick by name only the first time and called it something else the rest of the time and you can figure out the rest

[@peterblanchard8566]

I'd like to see this mod but with a timer instead of a counter. That way you can Speedrun it and then compare both game time and 3d time

[@velvetbutterfly]

You can just use your own timer?

[@stephaniedyal4555]

this awesome i wish i had this mod

[@angzarrpsyco]

Best way to have had the mod put "2d" mario into the cutscenes/Misc animations would have been to have Mario always have the 8-Bit mario outfit equipped

[@mrrfyW_]

The fact that the 2D tech is called gaslighting baffles me

[@jmullis0199]

He is right about the hover. I tried to jump in 2D while being player 2, and my friend, being player 1, hovered. I only did this in sand, tho
