Can You Beat SUPER SMASH BROS With Only Bombs?

Time to revisit the joy of playing with action figures.
...and making them do extreme violence upon one another.
You know. For fun.
The N64-era was definitely a wild time to be alive. AI was wonky, item lists weren't the size of entire books, and in order to play with friends on a videogame you had to be in the same room. But was that era any good for challenge runs?
You didn't ask, but I'll answer anyway :
Can you beat Super Smash Bros with only bombs?

Lemon: Starts career with souls games Also Lemon: Yeah, imma go play vastly different games if they have explosives

[@Lunaraia]

Didn't you know? Lemons REAL name is Torque. His home? Planet Pandora. His favorite pastime? EXPLOSIONS!!!

[@BlitzAce1995]

Now is the Question when he's gonna play Dragon's Dogma with only Dragon's Spit, Throwblasts and Blast Arrows.

[@sanderodermatt4557]

He made the channel to go through the backlog of games he's got on steam and hasn't played. That's why his channel is named backlogs

[@UtterlyShagged]

His wife might have influenced him on that

[@darianclark3980]

Yay, the Firebomb/Bomb challenges are back!💥💣💥

[@ruileite4579]

these challenges are always bombastic

[@rand0m_s0me0ne3]

YEEEEEESSSSSS FIREBOMB ONLY!!!!!!!!! 💥💣💥

[@MrSC219]

God damn, the feels from seeing that intro after... over 20 years. I feel old now.

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

This is not even close to the challenge I thought I'd see next... That said, this is something I didn't know I wanted. Kudos Lemon. Melee Samus Side B next? Just my suggestion

[@Ovroc_LA]

Crazy, I wouldn't have thought about this game, even less of a challenge run like this !!

[@goreobsessed2308]

I always thought it was hilarious that a bomb of all things has little knock back

[@grfrjiglstan]

Ah, the good old days, when each character had an average of one launching move, and players thought twelve fighters was a ludicrously high amount. If you plan to bring this challenge forward to later games, there's a fun little tech you can do where you throw a bomb up, step back, and use Link's grounded spin attack to launch the bomb forward. It's not particularly useful, and you're list as likely to blow yourself up, but it's fun to try and use.

[@enlongjones2394]

Also, don’t some of the variant links have better knock back on bombs in later games? I’m pretty sure I remember Link’s bomb being a kill move in Ultimate.

[@isaachepworth7860]

@@enlongjones2394 It can be, but you have to detonate it yourself, and need to not be in the blast radius.

[@DisplayThisOkay]

@@enlongjones2394 None of the bombs in any of the pre ultimate games were kills moves except a couple of the custom ones in Smash 4. That includes Samus as well.

[@enlongjones2394]

@@DisplayThisOkay not even mii gunners bomb? Huh.

[@DisplayThisOkay]

@@enlongjones2394 I can't remember if the smash 4 version does have killing power. If I had to guess It probably does.

[@ironwolf5802]

I had an N64 but no one to play big multi player games like this. Brings back memories of hearing what other people were doing in the game, but I see it now too.

[@ajrjvincent4088]

you are my favourite youtuber rn. no one else on the site that does gaming has your charm or sense of humour. you're awesome man. maybe consider doing a turret only run of the first border lands. it actually has some good damage the hardest part would be getting to level 2 to get enough points to get the thing. anyway your amazing man.

[@necoborgirarc]

This video was great man, I loved it. Looking forward to more variety like this in the future

[@KainaX122]

Wow. Wasn’t expecting to see this today 😂 I actually have my same N64 console and copy of Smash from when I was a kid God I remember playing Story Mode _SOOOOOO_ many times. I never played on harder than Medium, though 😂

[@axltheriolu8791]

When he said to Marth this guy has the power of god and anime I laughed so hard, why? Because as a fe fan I know his blood was blessed by a DIVINE dragon and had a anime and manga focused on his game. So The Backlogs WAS COMPLETELY CORRECT saying he has the power of god and anime lol

[@EquivalentInsanity]

This was such a delight!! Love all of your videos and this was a great surprise

[@inconspicuousrobot2685]

Missed opportunity to call this a firebomb run

[@waynekreml3036]

Love your content! It's always a good boost for my day :)

[@creepergod3692]

I teared up at the intro... God I miss my smash64

[@hollowednight5290]

Definitely wasn’t expecting this, but I like the mix up!

[@HumbleNearlKnight]

Oh, your videose always cheer up my day and I did not even watch that one yet. Thank you for that.

[@TardustheToasty]

Ah nice too see someone else enjoys the same pastime activity I enjoyed as a kid. Thanks for the video it was very entertaining!

[@Shirker12]

This has to be one of the dumbest videos I've seen in a while. And I loved every second of it. Keep up the awesome work!

[@delphy2478]

well, this was a real trip down nostalgia lane, thank you

[@Lowro]

i'm not enjoying dark souls content that much, but i'm really enjoying your production in general and i am looking forward to more zelda stuff!! nice work!!

[@unprankable666]

I'm going to be honest, watching all these challenge runs on KZbin makes it feel weird whenever I get to the game on my own. I'm so used to restrictions and rules that to not have any is somewhat strange.

[@pizzapanda8159]

Ive been playing dark souls for 5000+ hours but also go to smash ultimate tournements. Didnt know I needed this crossover. Please do more smash!

[@DarkCT]

as if your dark souls and monster hunter runs haven't already got me calling you the challenge bomber man. gods. you already had me trying to do such a build in Monster hunter world and rise!

[@boxhead976]

Melee had some of the best design decisions ever made straying just enough from the fluffy feel good colors of the other games.

[@fallingskymedia4421]

This is a cool run, it'd be pretty fun to see future games even if they have less singleplayer beyond Brawl

[@shoehunter3928]

Challenger Andy did a similar challenge a while back, for both Melee and Sub Space Emmisary. Can't waut to see it on the N64

[@jacksmith3148]

Well, Andy's was harder, technically. If he'd had Link the whole time instead of losers like Lucas he could've done a lot more.

[@shoehunter3928]

@@jacksmith3148 Andy had to do platforming and save scum, I'd say his was definitely harder

[@KainaX122]

Ah yes, Adventure Mode Without Jumping

[@darkhawk2463]

My childhood lol. I loved this game on the N64

[@yolsil775]

The intro to Smash Bros is forever burned into my brain. What a great game.

[@someguy4262]

For me the challenge would be (and always was) "your friends won't let you play as Samus anymore". Never got past that...

[@archmagetyler]

Fun fact throughout most of the smash games there has been a link with fire damage on his bombs. You all know what that means, at least title wise

[@jacobriley2358]

Out of curiosity, have you played any of the King of Fighters series? Been playing it a lot since I played Terry in smash ultimate.

[@alexxb2047]

Person: I love (Insert game here) the combat is so thrilling and engaging! Lemon: So, does it have bombs?

[@taylorcook7262]

The amount of nostalgia I got from this is crazy thank you Lemon!

[@TheLostCakeOfficial]

2nd? I think? Thanks for the great content! Really makes my day to see your uploads!

[@dieukal6263]

I love how this started with miss lemon playing dark souls with fire bomb and now lemon just plays every game that has bombs with nothing else. Prays the firebomb godess

[@hunterotte9555]

I remember this game was my jam when I was younger. I love playing old Mario. (N64& GameCube)

[@zanderjo]

Now THIS, THIS is content. I think that you should try ratchet and clank (ps2) next. It has a ton of challenge potential

[@misdemeanor7083]

damn I love this. what a creative challenge

[@Terminarch]

I've always wanted to see a "self damage" only run in games like this. Like those bombs or consumables, there are many ways to harm yourself and the enemy at the same time. Imagine if you could ONLY deal damage if you also take damage! What a wild ride that would be, always in 1-shot range.

[@LarsonPercussion]

Super Smash bros huh. Never heard of this entry in the souls series

[@jaksongraham9516]

Love to see more

[@shubhanshudixit3515]

Smash Bros was my fav game growing up. I used to play it everyday till I could beat hardest comp difficulty 3v1. My fav challenge run though was the Jigglypuff hardest classic mode to Ness.

[@vulpinitemplar5036]

Samus being a hassle until she accidentally slipped on a platform interestingly enough is what happens to really damn good Metroid players all the time.

[@Robokitty01]

Who knew that all this came from a single teeny tiney firebomb...But it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

[@Demonboy007]

Hearing the N64 announcer's SUPER SMASH BROS... That's that good stuff.

[@theashendevil]

"How hard can it be" 5 words no-one should ever say in that order.

[@manateemanatee-eb6kn]

Never played it but this video makes me want to.

[@Bluecho4]

At least in Smash Bros, you never have to worry about running out of bombs. Thank goodness for small mercies.

[@wesleypage7697]

You could do this in ultimate with several different characters. The links, Snake, the Samus' if you count side B or are just really stubborn, peach if you're prepared to pull items for ages, mega man, Bowser Jr, Steve TNT, and hero if you count some of his down B menu other than kamikaze. You could also go online with all of these characters and just turn on all of the bomb items and play until to get an arbitrary number of wins.

[@lokylollygames8118]

yooo the n64 one was my fav in all of the smash games, so many hours in the damn game

[@shinyrayquaza9]

Can't wait for subspace emissary but snake grenades only! with the stickers it would be sick

[@emoimo4171]

Hearing “knock away” so much instead of knockback hurts my soul

[@limenade5941]

Firebombs sequel? Amazing. Truly wonderful. To be honest, delightful. Lovely. Yes, yes. Indeed

[@bopobodachocobo]

Never thought OG smash would have a challenge run... pretty epic if you ask me \[T]/

[@Demogarose]

I never got to play the original, but I did have Melee on the GC. Good times. BTW: Have you ever played Remnant: From the Ashes? 3rd person shooter souls-like. Would love to see you give it a shot on the channel.

[@EJN64]

That pika KO is super replicable and can even be done Pacificist

[@khaeldranis2564]

You should try this in Melee, Brawl and Ultimate next. I'm curious if it's possible

[@CallMeZorbin]

Oof thus just hit me right in the nostalgia

[@creaturehorns]

i coughed on my donut watching that ending clip

[@andreworders7305]

The long awaited return of firebombs

[@tycol322]

Random idea. What about only using fox's reflect attack? It's slightly offensive at close range and reflects all projectiles. Even turns pokeballs thrown at you to your command IIRC

[@jayjaytigue3287]

Aah yes, The Return of the Firebombs

[@user-wr3gn2wr8d]

what a blast this video turned out to be. And yes I mean that completely unironically.

[@gammathefool]

So fun fact, Pikachu's AI in the english release can only use Agility (Up B) at 90 degree angles, making the helli pad an awkward spot to land

[@thirdwordbird3011]

You should do the melee campaign. I remember it had a bunch of unique levels

"knock away damage" ....jk I love the video, another great one, and creative!

Skul the Hero Slayer Bomb only and explosion related items only for your final load out (explosion items are more uncommon than non explosive)

I remember feeling a sense of accomplishment when I beat the game ( N64 ) using just Jigglypuff - the absolutely worst character in the roster.

[@Estus1999]

I am so down for watching melee bombs only. just try not to hurt yourself too much. lol

I recall getting Pikachu to teleport kill himself on his level. Had to get him to the right side platform and bait him to fall down the middle and he'll teleport to the right off the side. Pacifist kill. 60k points?

[@draemocksi]

I has an idea for a challenge video Lemon! “Can you make leveling in Salt and Sanctuary not feel like astrophysics?” Because my brain hurts when I even try to think about that damn tree thing!

[@TheBacklogs]

Its actually pretty easy if you simplify it. Ive got a video in the works to help with it coming soon!

[@draemocksi]

@@TheBacklogs yay! It probably is easier than I think it is, I have a awful habit of my head making things or seeing things as more complex than needed. Looking forward to such a video! I shall just say this “Curse you Lemon for being so bloody entertaining with games I would never normally want to play!!!” Lol

Can you use the other moves as long as you don’t attack with them, or not at all?

It might be a bit of a stretch, but if you come back for Melee, you could try Roy. His Neutral B is a full on explosion after all. And I'd just love to see some justice for him. Roy's our boy, but he doesn't have melee love.
