I think the bosses are harder in this one because their health is set way higher than usual to account for four Kirbies attacking at once. The game assumes you have a team of four, since you can always call your teammates to help you in a moment’s notice. This makes all of the bosses significantly harder if you’re fighting them one on one

[@blueyandicy]

Nope, this only works if PLAYER kirbies are in your party. If it's all CPU kirbies the game doesn't scale the health, since ai kirby bad.

Just a tip, as someone who has been playing Amazing Mirror for an unveliebably long time, there's this technique I like to call "Float Cancelling". It consist of pressing A (or in a case of no-Jump challenges, up on the D-Pad) to let Kirby inhale a little bit of air to puff up. However, before he actually puffs up and starts hovering, quickly press B to cancel the float into your standard "B attack". You gain a little bit of altitude without the need of hovering/jumping, and you could go up some ledges if you're good ennough at it, or even gain infinite altitude if your timing is extremely good. It's way better and easier to do in Squeak Squad and you could gain a lot of height if you use it multiple times with Hammer. This technique is only available in these 2 games.

I was wondering why he didnt mix the Cupid and Sword enemies!

[@luckyloomagu]

I think Squeak squad would be fun, being able to hold different copy abilities at the same time would mitigate the problem of "I need this ability but it's only in level X" and the main gameplay shouldn't be TOO bad without being able to jump.

[@teamawesomeness7137]

Nice job on the challenge! Only idea I have to improve the run is when you get to sword and cupid in the beginning I believe you could inhale both at the same to get the mix copy ability to get a jump replacement. (I’m not entirely sure if mix is in this game, but I believe that it is)

[@lyoukeefen7199]

Mix is in this game and that particular mix is in the speedrun

[@amandaletcher1320]

But still it would only get rid of one jump but no jumps is better then 1

[@Antifrost]

The Amazing Mirror was one of the first Kirby games I ever played and it's still one of my favorites. My first thought to clear a challenge like this would have been Cupid, but I guess I forgot that you needed to jump before flying with that, and even then it could be considered a gray zone in terms of the rules. I am surprised that you didn't use the UFO ability, that offers free movement around the screen with the only downside being that you can't drop through platforms.

[@catriamflockentanz]

Finally! I kept hoping for you to try my favorite Kirby game and now it's here! I wonder if and how often you will take detours to avoid jumps.

20:43 "It seems that kirby & the amazing mirror bosses are just...built different" -CMeeCraft Gaming Or perhaps it might be due to more gracious damage output in later games, as well as simpler patterns (ahem, Zan Partizanne, Francisca, Queen Sectonia, Likerally everyone in super kirby clash, basically every planet robobot boss) and much more busted copy abilities (Fighters good, but there are some better combat abilities, like bomb and cook, or the angling provided by cutter and ESP, the burst moves and projectiles of ninja, the reach of spear or staff, elemental yoyo or whip in star allies)

[@CodeKirby]

Another tip: Your cpu companions gain abilities at random, and trying to sabotage them into dropping their ability is actually pretty easy. Just avoid doing it near hazards, and try and stick to common enemies.

Recently got this game for my DS, and this is by far the hardest Kirby game I’ve ever played. The level of detail and dungeon crawling makes finding all the treasure chests extremely difficult. Oh, and don’t forget the annoying boss battles (Mega Titan being the most frustrating). Still probably one of the best Kirby experiences though, and love the recognition this gem is getting!

This game rocks! Just played it for the first time this past winter. I'd love to see a Kirby's Dream Land 3 no-jump run.

[@spidey5108]

Sword was your bread and butter for these challenges, so doing one without it was pretty tough from the get-go. Great work. I don't recommend doing the other old games without Sword's Upward Slash either, though.

[@flerpybird9175]

I managed to figure out how to shave off one jump, the first one actually. If you run up to the ledge and crouch next to it (I'm not sure if crouching matters), the waddle dee will walk off the ledge, hit you, and then bounce to the left. You can then slide kick the waddle dee to get just enough height and distance to get on the ledge. I also saw someone else mention mixing the sword and cupid to potentially get burning early, which would shave off another jump, making the total 10.

maybe u can inhale both the sword and cupid to roulette for some jump replacement, by which u can reduce a jump count

[@Hamantha]

I honestly love Mega Titan. Such a satisfying fight for me. I love bashing him into the fences and the detail that the electric abilities cheeses him

[@SeaToon]

I’m gonna say right now, with the idea of multiplayer possible, as an idea, I know it wasn’t for you, but at the beginning, you could’ve had a teammate grab cupid, you call them back to you, and then they give you their ability, but then it’d still technically be the same amount of jumps because of the other player being controlled by a human, not a bot, just a thought though

[@jaredcramsie182]

There are 3 jumps that can be skipped during the tutorial section, bringing the total number of jumps in the tutorial to 9: 2:20 The 1st jump can be removed by running up to the wall and allowing the Waddle Dee to fall down on you, then performing a slide-kick, using the knockback to make it on top of the ledge. (note: this must be done from a new save file, otherwise the other Kirby's will inhale the Waddle Dee before you can slide in to it) 2:41 The 9th jump can be skipped using the 8th jump. Wait at the button for the other Kirby's to arrive, then slide dash at them and hold right to stand on top of them (the switch they are standing on causes you to receive knockback after sliding into it). Jumping while standing on another Kirby will cause you to super-jump, gaining extra height, letting you cross the gap. 4:18 The 12th jump can be avoided using 'mix', by inhaling the first 'cupid' and 'sword' enemies simultaneously, as speculated by other commentators. The enemies are not close enough together to allow you to get both at the same time, but this can be fixed by moving one of the enemies, going back through the door to reset their health, and re-entering. You might be able to have another kirby get the cupid ability, while you get sword, them force it to take damage, discard carding your own ability so you can inhail them both together, but I haven't tested this method. Edit: There is another way that might be easier. When the AI teammates are in a different room than you are they sometimes get random power ups (seen at 2:46 when Green Kirby gets a beam copy ability, despite there being no enemies in the prior room). By going back and forth between the two rooms you can make it so the Kirby can get a movement ability (I got one with tornado) which you can take after they get hit. Congratulations on completing the rest of the game jumpless!

[@majora4]

I came up with yet another way of skipping the 12th jump. It's a lot more difficult to pull off, but the upside is that my method doesn't rely on any random luck whatsoever, and I was eventually able to do it reliably once I figured out the tech. Start by obtaining Sword and go the end of the screen, thus stranding your allies there. Then go back and stand near the right edge of the cloud box containing the Flamer enemy, while facing right. Finding the exact right spot is tough but the sweet spot for me is where approximately half of Kirby's body is to the right of the cloud box. Once you're in the right position you have to time it so Flamer's in the right position too. You need to use the Up+B move just as Flamer starts to round the bottom right corner. Too early and you'll miss completely (which is actually okay because you're still in the perfect position and can just try again); too late and Flamer will either die or else end up orbiting the outside of the cloud box, *just* outside of inhaling reach. If you got the position and timing correct, Flamer will fly upwards a slight bit then descend, ultimately dropping to the ground, where you can safely inhale it without ever needing to jump or hover.

[@jaredcramsie182]

@@majora4 Your method is EASILY the best. It non-random and easier to pull off than mix ( which was a pain to get, on top of the chace of failure ). It is pretty incredible that you found it.

I've also been intrigued by "can you beat X without" videos (but I don't record them myself) and this is my favorite game. So I also tried "without left" (Tornado ability to bounce off walls) "without jumping", "without floating" etc. challenges. This game's a big metroidvania though. Thanks for making this video, a great watch!

[@kkob1733]

This video is pretty good except for missing one CRUCIAL... POSSIBLY... Gameplay detail. You'll notice at 2:43 on the top left of the screen that the green Kirby gets a beam power up, and you can't get those until later on in the grass area. What does this mean? Well what if, you could get one of the kirbys to get a power like tornado from one screen randomly to use to skip some of those pesky jumps in the tutorial room. I can't test it right now to make sure you can do it on the room, but it's just a possibility.

I dont remember if ufo has any particular hangups beyond dropping through platforms but if not would it have helped at all? I consider it different than cupid as it floating by default. I dont think theres any easy way to get it, but i noticed green kirby ha Ufo a few times. If by luck you could snag it from them certain level traversal would have been easier, right? The random nature might have made it more trouble than its worth though
