How I Got EVERY Coin in Super Mario Galaxy.

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

YOU CAN KILL THE JELLYFISH?! AND THERE’S A SECRET ROOM IN THE MANSION IN GHOSTLY GALAXY?! Galaxy is one of my favorite games of all time, and I’ve been playing it since 2007! How did I not know these things?!

[@CassiusStelar]

[@idkmanlol1485]

ok

[@ooc329]

I'm curious as to what was discovered for each of those galaxies

[@underrated1524]

@@ooc329 Here's what it looks like to me, just from the coin counts: Gusty Garden's Gravity Scramble: An optimized route was found with the Rainbow Star that obtains every coin from the thorn bushes on the chain chomp planet. Additionally, for the two cannons that seemed to only give 2 coins, it turned out there was a way to stomp on the cannonballs right before they explode to stall them and allow cannonball C to spawn without co-star. The Golden Chomp: A method was found to reach the last cannons of the level, then backtrack all the way to the chain chomp planet to collect the Golden Chomp star. The optimizations for Gravity Scramble also apply to this star. Deep Dark Galaxy: A method was found to escape from the Ghost Ship section without co-star, probably involving the mega shore launch alluded to in the video. (For Bubble Blastoff and Guppy and the Underground Lake, this lets you route in the 6 coins that can only be obtained by clipping back into bounds in the ghost ship section. For Boo in a Box, this lets you switch to the Bubble Blastoff version of the level. For Plunder the Purple Coins, this lets you hunt for the gold coins from the rest of Deep Dark, although the cannon isn't available in this mission, which means the coins from the Gateway ripoff planet are still inaccessible without co-star.) Underwater Cosmic Mario Race: Presumably, some very precise route was found that lets you detour for an extra coin and still win the race, at least when you're up against Cosmic Mario and not Cosmic Luigi. Treasure of the Pyramid: Your guess is as good as mine, though it may involve a way to backtrack from a later portion of the normal level to reach the pyramid after collecting a few extra coins.

[@kyleeeee_c]

In all my time playing Galaxy, I never knew the secret room in Ghostly Galaxy was a thing

[@LB_]

19:31 while playing the game again last year, I was grabbing that multi-coin block during the boss battle, and a fireball hit Mario and caused him to repeatedly slam upward into the multi-coin block and rapidly deplete it in a second. I checked my footage and it didn't give me more than 10 coins, but it could be useful as an annoying speedrun trick.

[@Jandro_33]

Well, something similar happened to me. I was replaying the game and I accidentally get burned under a coin block with nearby fire, which caused me to clip through the block, it was very weird...

[@jof4467]

Funny

[@zanmolecules4105]

43:10 this dude got every purple coin and expected us not to notice

[@zanmolecules4105]

You are so much more dedicated than anyone else who has ever tried a challenge like this. Most people would’ve given up super early in levels like battle rock or ghostly galaxy but you pushed through and I respect that

[@DTgamer_Shiver-is-best-waifu]

32:50 Slingpod is hard for me personally but it's atleast fun to farm starbits.

[@PenguinBoi27]

Insane video Great job Glad to see that some people still give this phenomenal game the attention it deserves

[@ConnorTheUndying]

I'll be real, my only criticism with this video is the mic quality, though I know not everyone has the cash (heh) to get a nice one. Plus, the clipping when you were yelling made me genuinely laugh, so I'd say it was worth it. This is a SERIOUSLY cool video, I'm glad I watched through it all. I'm surprised how thorough you were, and how involved the challenge was. I haven't really seen a lot of Galaxy challenge runs, so it was refreshing to see one pop up on my feed. Great job. You've EARNED my sub.

[@GoldenTGB]

Galaxy 1 is the most interesting 3D Mario to do this in, at least from what I heard Nate said, 64 and Sunshine were pretty easy/easier compared tothis

[@nathanielsmith1879]

@@GoldenTGB Yeah, Super Mario 64 does have some interesting coin stories, but they're mostly related to coin duplications and the one "impossible" coin in Tiny Huge Island, both of which have been thoroughly documented already. Sunshine also has interesting coin challenges, and actually that might make for an intriguing video as well, although it wouldn't be nearly as long as this one since there's only 8 high scores in that game. Also the raw gameplay for Sunshine's max coins is overall more tedious because you can get 999 coins in half of the levels.

[@nathanielsmith1879]

It was an honor getting to work with you on this project, Golden! Thanks for putting up with me over the course of these months! To answer the questions you asked in the outro, the hardest max coin challenge actually appears to NOT be Airship Armada anymore, but is actually Gusty Garden's "The Golden Chomp"...! [This one is WILD!] As for my favorite max coin challenge, I have fond memories of doing several of these missions, but I remember doing "Mario Meets Mario" while having a stupid grin on my face the whole time since I had just figured out how the tox box launch trick works. It is really fun!

This is an absolute gem of a video and it’s shocking it was made by someone of your relative size/experience, especially at the time. Of all the “Mario Challenge” videos on youtube, this is one of the best. Waiting with bated breath for the addendum/follow up video.

All right KZbin do your thing, Give this man the credit he deserves. This was absolutely amazing. From the editing to the pace of the video everything was perfection.

[@eggboy902]

Super Mario Galaxy is the most nostalgic Mario game for me, and I often feel like it doesn't get as much attention in speedrunning, challenges, ect, as other Mario games like sunshine or 64. This is a Super video, and as someone who's really only played casually, the tricks and techniques in this video are crazy amazing. Pushing the boundaries of what is possible, not accepting defeat or limitations, the whole team of people required to make this video are Super Cool People.

Amazing video, really helps show the extensive work and tricks used to obtain all these coin records. It’s fun to know I was recognized in this video, even by small standards. I will say I was also the person to first realistically understand and explain the cannon mechanics, but both you and Nate have brought it up a notch. I used to be the one to hold the most max coin records before being beaten by Altar and then Nate. I still am somewhat keeping up with the new coin OOBs and mechanics and I hope to find new ways to obtain more.

1:22:25 This part of the planet can also be reached with a backflip followed by a wall jump, as there is a ledge to the left of the three loose coins that is a bit lower than the larger platform right next to it. I mention this only because getting to it is most likely less precise than a well-placed triple jump.

[@nathanielsmith1879]

Yeah, I found out afterwards that I was accessing the upper area using a WAY more difficult method than I needed to... 😅
