How I Solved Mario Maker's Impossible 500 Block Jump

I’m willing to bet this challenge is possible by one human actually using four controllers at once. I mean, I think it’d be incredibly difficult but I do believe it’s possible

[@sagetarus1]

It definitely is. While chaining is already difficult for one character, the real difficulty comes from swapping to another character to start a new chain. The brain power to remember which controller belongs to which character while reacting to when you'd actually need to switch, all while holding run and to the right would be absolutely insane.

[@shashankmahalingam5254]

@@sagetarus1 But it does make it easier that the game pauses every time a player dies.

[@0SkySniper]

My thoughts exactly

[@danielostrowski856]

You only say this to make him suffer

[@KinuTheDragon]

@@sagetarus1Potentially if the controllers were color-coded to the characters it would make it easier?

[@AdrianWoodUK]

4:25 - "...Increasing the maximum number of players I could control at a single time from two, all the way up to the console's maximum of four." The Switch standard controller management page undersells it. The system can actually handle 8 simultaneous controllers, which is how you get 6 players in TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, or 8 in Bomberman R.

[@dragonair3018]

Kinda poetic how the double cherry was conceived from a programming mistake when they were making SM3DW and how your whole "2 players, 1 controller" idea was ALSO conceived by a programming mistake. Anyways, awesome job with the vid man. Keep up the amazing content!!

KZbinrs’ ability to make a 3 minute video 15 is honestly impressive

[@Deranth]

"How I Solved Mario Maker's Impossible 500 Block Jump That I Also Created Because I Already Knew How To Solve It From Some Cheese I Did Earlier" 13 minutes of backstory filler BS of them finding the cheese strat and then making a specific challenge for that cheese strat, followed by 1.5 minutes of them doing the challenge, and then a 30 second outro. Complete with the required 'Would we be able to do it, or would we run out of time?' rhetorical question before showing them do it.

It was IMPOSSIBLE TO DO! (In my very specific controlling two people at once to make it easier way) (Also it was always possible with four players) (Also also I didn't even discover this) This felt like watching a clickbait thumbnail

Literally nothing to do with the level that was supposed to be the topic, or the technique needed to complete it. This is like a textbook example of clickbait.
