[@TheTrueCopyUniverse]

5:04 Not correct, Chugga! The Excellent Ring restores 10% of your *maximum* SP whenever you get an Excellent attack! Doesn't matter if it's a punch, fire, or any of your Troop-based attacks, if it's Excellent, you're getting a chunk of your SP recovered. It's quite useful if you've mastered attack timing!

[@biribofukuro]

With Fury, I always made it activate by constantly healing Bowser, probably tricking the game into thinking the player is struggling and helps temporarily

[@LocalPlagueDoc]

Wait, that actually makes more sense than just taking too many hits. You use a lot of recovery items anyway, and it's easier to count those 🤔

[@westonmyers239]

The turn amount could also be a factor because when I was a kid, I couldn’t mash X fast enough to inhale the Sea Pipe Statue, and I only could attack it by countering, which took so long that it activated fury.

[@axtj_]

I believe it follows a formula like perecntage of health remaining and hits taken but based on my testing it was around 10-14 hits but I am at the end of the game so I'll do more testing

[@waffledoctor87]

As I said in a different thread: The chance to get Fury each turn goes up by 2% each time Bowser gets hit, starting at 0%. (It goes up by 3% per hit with the fangs.) And it can not trigger below a 20% chance, meaning getting hit 10 (7) times is indeed required

[@prof.laytonfan764]

Ah, Tower of Yikk. The thing that kinda just shows up and coincidentally happens to push the plot forward.

[@BlazingPhoenixGames]

A thing about the “alternating X and Y”, mashing both buttons also helps. It makes Bowser’s vacuum more powerful which is why you got more honey from those Beehoss. This also works to get more coins from Trashure enemies. Edit: About Fury status. All that’s known about it is if Bowser takes too many hits in a battle, it activates. There’s nothing that really indicates what actually happens in the code or how it works.

[@slimballs9650]

They also gave it to bosses in the remake, basically as a second phase.

[@daltonobrian2596]

I know. When I first learned that trick, it helped me beat the final boss. I'm not a good button masher, so this helped me.

[@waffledoctor87]

Fun fact: jdaster64 figured out how Fury works! There's a "Rage Counter" that goes up by 2 (3 with the irk fangs) every time Bowser gets hit. While it's at or above 20, Bowser has a [Rage Counter]% chance to become Furious at the start of each of his turns. Please consult him for his prize, if you haven't.

I actually want to add some things about the excellent ring. First, yes the crawfuls can drop it, but it’s extremely rare (took me over an hour for me). Second I disagree about the usefulness of the ring. It’s one of Bowser’s best rings as it combined with an sp restoring ring gives him practically infinite use of koopa corps, which will oneshot any regular enemy in the game. Great for casual play.

One problem. You can only equip one of the specific Equipment

[@lewiff]

I’m just gonna come out and say it. Sure the giga-carrot was a minigame that caused a bit of a struggle the first time around, but the pollen minigame was my first softlock, with how unresponsive the touch screens are, every spiky pollen felt like unavoidable damage. I remember my first major baby rages when the game came out.

[@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

The DS and 3DS Screens are great, but the Pollen game feels like typing on the Switch version of Among Us. I can still vividly feel how the minigame controls years later.

[@stug6974]

Yeah, it's a really awkward one. The level of precision movement they demand just isn't really suited to the actual controls of flicking a tiny stylus across a poorly responsive screen, especially since you have no way of stopping your movement so you're just violently shooting all over the place constantly. Then again, I also got extremely frustrated by that one section in the Lung Zone (or whatever it's called) where you use the stylus to direct a platform through an electric maze -- which I've never heard anyone complain about -- so maybe I am the problem after all.

[@Xeno-The-Wanderer]

I think probably the biggest issue with the BIS map is the lack of landmarks, the tower of Yiik being there is great but other than the obvious toad town, peach’s castle and Bowser Castle there’s… no landmarks at all, nothing to give this world a sense of space other than vague regions that aren’t really properly represented in terms of space on the map

[@proking2354]

3:54 when you actually know things about Mario games you realize more and more just how common it is for the Mario wiki to be wildly wrong. You have it claiming for years that pokeys in PM64 were weak to fire and explosions (they have no element they are weak too), I myself corrected the unlock criteria for one of the ttyd remake superbosses (it erroneously and inexplicably claimed you had to be in post game which is demonstrably false), and its drop rate calculations for ttyd badge drops from enemies is genuine, mass misinformation. The badge drop rates are hysterical because the source _they cite,_ when they wrote the article, literally said “these are not direct odds, these numbers are fed into an equation and I do not know how it works yet” and now the source has been updated to actually have the correct odds calculation, and yet the Mario wiki _still_ lists the original numbers as they are _before being fed into the actual equation_ as though they were direct odds, explicitly against the instructions from their own source.

[@Yuti640]

So, The Koopa Corps challenge it is ab-so-lute BS!!! Because of the way you can hit the Koopas a little bit late, you can desync them to the point where two will come at you at the same time making it impossible to hit them both, then when a new one spawns in it can spawn and hit Broque Madame at the same time as another shell, making a loop of impossibility, ultimately giving a chance for failure due to no fault of your own, Koopa Corps is genuinely awfully designed and i have NO IDEA how I beat it.

[@jdaster64]

The MarioWiki has separate bestiaries for the two releases of the game; enemies might have differing drops and drop rates between them (I can't speak to the 3DS release, but the original Excellent Ring is a 1% drop naturally, for what it's worth).

[@ShosuCeladon]

This will sound strange but when I did the challenge for the Koopa Corps I would use that white like of Bowser's shell to aim for the Koopas. This worked so well I didn't just beat the 350 record but I started using the Koopa Corp attack way more frequently. I was that confident in my ability with those guys.

[@Blahydra]

Ah the excellent ring. A pretty decent piece of equipment... if you LOVE SP. It can work, but imo you'd need 80 base SP to kinda make it worth it as it clashes with at least another ring and the fill up ring depending on if you expect to finish a battle before you run put of SP or if you want to play the long game (i'd argue 5+ turns, which yeah, never happens really).

18:55 Weirdly enough I kinda found out back in Superstar Saga. My thought process when my brother was playing was "Weird that you can only upgrade HP on these levels". then I tried it myself and just kept upgrading POW. Not much better, I had less HP and other stats. 21:07 In the remake : All Bosses have Fury Status. When Bowser gets into Fury in the Remake when you fight him in the Doctor's Office, he'll eat a drumstick. I've also once made a Fury Build in the Remake. I got Dizzy Status so I was out for a turn, against a boss no less. Boss hit me a lot and next thing I knew, Bowser had 20 HP left,snapped out of it, and got Furious. Clocked close to a thousand damage on the boss my next move after I heal. It was fun having a Fury Build.

[@wizwitch5318]

[@HunterIsRad]

Inside This Episode: We deal with more of THAT DAMN SNEEZING MINIGAME and fight a tower! This gives me the chance to talk about some more things I missed back in Dimble Wood: Rump Command and the Giant Battles! Rump Command is easily my favourite Minigame besides nearly every other Minigame. I’m a sucker for shmups, and despite the simplicity of this one, it really works well with the idea of the Bros working together…plus rapid-firing the ‘boss’ at the end of each section feels really great. Do well and Bowser grows in size! Guess it *wasn’t* the vegetables that made him grow, then… The Tower of Yikk (not YIIK) is a great use of the Giant Battle mechanics, be it the sheer power and force behind your attacks, the chance to go to town on the thing’s head after making it vulnerable, even just the sole fact that they turned what looked like a cosmetic thing in the last fight (pushing the enemy with your punches) into an actual game mechanic with the ‘ring-out’ style that gets emphasized with later fights (even in later games, looking at you, Earthwake!), the tower makes it completely worth the extra round of THAT DAMN SNEEZING GAME. Giant Bowser is a blast to play as, and it makes me so glad they brought back the gameplay for Giant Luigi, but even then the feel is entirely different for the two characters; as Bowser, you’re unstoppable. Doesn’t matter how many attacks and minions the other guy sends at you, you squash ‘em without a second thought! Your punches send even the biggest opponents flying, and your flames could rival that of any volcano! It’s always a blast to play as the behemoth…but what if he were to face a foe that’s not exactly his size?

[@DefinitivNichtSascha]

01:33 I was! xD 02:36 With Koopa Corps, you can tap anywhere on the screen and Bowser will follow; you don't need to touch his shell. So what I do is that I slide along the right side of the screen so I can see. 03:04 I'm pretty sure you can just select your hand in the remake and the giant battles are mirrored depending on what you selected. It was also like that in Dream Team. 04:06 So we would've actually heard the Inside Bowser-version of this track there but only edited in the video without the audio? _We're getting robbed! Robbed I say!_ 05:28 You're also going to be really overlevelled. I'm usually not level 19 with Bowser until way after the next are with Mario & Luigi. 22:14 Not to mention reaching Gold Boss rank. I definitely never do that before the second Giant Battle. 05:56 Yeah, hitting Y as well as X during the vacuum is really powerful. 09:46 I now wonder if I got into these games so much as did because I read them aloud when I was a kid. I'd already watched lots of Let's Plays when I was young, so I made it a habit of mine to actually read out the dialogue of the games I played, which was mostly Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario. I even did different voices and everything (yeah, I was a bit of a theater kid if you couldn't tell). And maybe that's also part of the reason why you like Xenoblade so much: Its story is presented through dialogue that is actually read to you instead of having to read it for yourself. 14:02 No Emile, teeth are not the same as bones. Just as an example, bones mend on their own, teeth don't. They're very different in composition. 16:39 This is like the most redundant shortcut in the game. You save like maybe 10 seconds with it by not going one screen further south. 17:54 It's probably because you ended the video and then went to do something else after rescuing the Koopas last time. It would seem logical that the whole sequence involving two sneezing minigames and a huge ship wasn't just to obtain an optional special attack. 21:10 I don't know where you got this from, but Midbus can't get this status effect. In the remake, pretty much any boss gets it once its health is low enough, but not in the original game. 21:32 Yeah it seems to be based on amount of hits, so attacks where you get hit in quick succession are usually when it triggers (Dark Fawful's orb-attack is a prime example). 23:26 You're right, we're not going to see this one again. 25:30 I haven't made a comment about this yet, but I love how much fun you seem to be having with this project. And it's especially nice considering all that you went through at the beginning of this year. You seem really well, and I'm glad that you do. ^^
