Odyssey’s was the GOAT, it took literally every mechanic in the game, and ended with the first CAPture.

[@theemeraldninja5038]

I completed Super Mario Galaxy 2 about a year ago. I died over 130 times to complete the Perfect Run and I feel very proud of myself for beating it

[@jimmyplayz6341]

And to top that off, I actually beat champions road in super Mario 3D world + bowsers fury (and to top THAT ON *THAT* I 100%-ed bowsers fury)

[@Creeperkid735]

@@jimmyplayz6341 100%-ing bowsers fury isn't that hard. I 100%-ed it 2 times, almost 3.

I like when Final Levels are chill but I also like when they're super duper hard ^^

[@ILoveEatingCheese]

what about the star festival?

[@DittoGTI]

​@@ILoveEatingCheeseStar festival always felt amazing to me, a soft and magical ending to one of the most magical games of them all

[@bLueguysixty]

I remember completing all the Super Mario World levels, and the last one was definitely the best. It was very nostalgic just watching that section. Really gave me the chills

[@ostrichmanthatmakethebestvideo]

I like when games don't focus on the final levels being too hard, just a nice place to relax and reward you

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - "I want to thank you..."

[@magnusb9783]

For me.. the hardest of all of these was champions road in 3d world. even harder then the perfect run if you can believe it. That boost panel section was always really hard. Also damn the mario odyssey final moon.. when you’re climbing up the spire everything about that moment the music, the atmosphere, the feeling ugh.

[@meep7895]

the boost panel and beat block sections of champions road were easily the hardest imo

[@susiehaltmann3342]

Its hard. But I managed to beat it with mario and with no powerups. Its not that bad

[@marioboi3407]

I played perfect literally 30 minutes ago, it's way harder than champions road, I've beaten champions road no power ups like 20-30 times and I've beaten perfect run 2 times

[@Theworstyoutuberever2]

mario odyssey isn’t hard, i got to bowser’s kingdom at 4 years old

[@DittoGTI]

​@@Theworstyoutuberever2That means ur not old enough to be on this platform...

[@BobbyJCFHvLichtenstein]

It feels so weird that 3D Land came out 1yr after Galaxy 2...

[@srgwcov]

Thats why nintendo reused assets from galaxy for 3d land, just like odyssey was based off 3d world

[@INFERNOKID]

Yea I remember super Mario world secret levels man. All I can say is, it was weird to see as a kid, but a nostalgic moment as a teen, but a never forgotten moment for a bunch of adults

[@ZarahOkazaki]

Tips for galaxy 2. If you die at the beginning the cycles work out much better for the first part for the 4th part of you back flip you won’t get hit by the red rings (if you don’t make it with 3 clouds). These are some of the strats we do in speedrunning.

[@cosmicdunsparce]

Star Festival and the end of Darker Side when Cappy is being very emptional really brings a tear to my eye

[@DJ_Funkee]

MARIO WORLD!? THAT LEVEL LOOKS SO COOL WHAT!? WHEN HOW WHY?! ITS SO COOL!

[@Strangeisntit_real]

Basically, when you beat the last level in the special world (the world after clearing all courses in star world) you unlock an autumn theme for the whole game. It replaces some enemies with mario masks and pumpkins.

[@CymariaDariaminaj29]

Nice video, nice gaming. God bless you. :)

[@SamuelPlaysGames]

Idk if this counts as a Mario game but, Mario + rabbids kingdom battle has 1 secret level in all 4 worlds, but I think you have to beat the game first, and I have. Also each on has crates, I think in world 4, there is 2 silver crates and one bronze

[@DJ_Funkee]

MARIO MAKER LUIGI LEVEL!? WOW!

[@infinitygamez2761]

Love how in follow that shell they need two people to beat it XD

Getting all costumes was an hell for me but I figured out that the fastest way to obtain coins was the Luigi minigame

That sm odyssey final level is crazy. Its one year since i have the game and I still cant finish that course.

[@nadie4221]

Mario last level is always a big wave off and a thank you for playing either being a show of all what you've done or the ultimate challlenge to test your abilities. With kirby the true final boss always resides inside the true arena and will make you suffer through and through and kirby must purge for all the evil soul of whatever had the unfortunate luck to face kirby

So i got super mario galaxy 2 as a present, when i was 4 years old Its my favorite game from mario, i dont think any other one is better. From the other side, as a Kid i went crazy finding all green stars, until i had the perfect run. I finally took the courage to beat it last year (i was 15yo) seems a bit exaggerate but i was shaking literally, my heart pumped, think I almost cried for 100% the game that was my total childhood.

[@Iron72frank]

I don't even remember how many curses I threw at that purple mario in super mario 3d land 😂

[@fab4kleydestiny892]

What about the secret levels in Super Mario Bros 2, the lost levels?

[@moronribbons5774]

I cannot forgive them calling it the "grand finale" galaxy. It takes place in the world of Mario where things usually are and peach's castle and shit. It could have been named the super mario galaxy. It would have tied in so well.

[@hoplabobla]

Nostalgia 👍

[@SonCosmo]

never could beat that 3D world level

[@benallen895]

Also thanks for using the Widescreen hack and not just Stretching out like the rest,

[@Quirino26]

Champion’s Road is the hardest level in Mario for me. The beat block section and especially the boost panel section are harder than anything else imo. Also I was too lazy to get the cat suit/raccoon suit every time, so I had to beat it with no power ups. The Perfect Run is a close second, but since in playthroughs it comes right after The Ultimate Test, some of the challenge is taken away as you already beat it.

[@pudgesnextturnaround3112]

I remember I beaten the darker side of the moon twice, I felt proud

[@raszze]

Where’s D-4 from the lost levels?

[@space470-1]
