Nico: "We can't grab a single star in Mario 64 without jumping!" Pannenkoek2012: "Pathetic."

[@Zalied]

do they do it without jumping or without A. off the top of my head i actually dont know

[@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal]

@@Zalied I think it might be without the A button…

[@EndermanInASuit7]

​@@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal...which is tied to jumping actions.

[@DK64_FAN]

Simple dive recover. No parallel universes are even necessary.

[@autranaut9645]

​@@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal It's without the A button. You can beat the entire game without jumping, since the only mandatory A press is to fall off a pole.

[@EthanGreen617]

Nintendo’s obsessed with putting Goombas at the start of the first Mario level!

[@LugborG]

It actually serves as a mini tutorial, specifically to teach players to jump without having to put button prompts on the screen. It’s a tradition at this point.

[@GoofyMoaihead]

That is a tradition at this point

[@chloetocalife5485]

Lol yeah

[@Cliffordlonghead]

11:32 As established in jumpless run the game does not in fact count this in Toadette stats.

[@thenew3dworldfan]

The full-length quest in Mario Odyssey, utilizing the jump counter, has made it possible to play jumpless games, despite Nico's lazy decision to turn it into a full-length quest.

[@AidanRatnage]

Even if Toadette doesn't count it it still looks and acts like a jump.

[@luginess0]

It doesn't count and I think nico is lazy because I know for a fact he's as least seen the thumbnail of gamemaster3000's mario Odyssey jump less video because that video was shoved down many people's throats back in 2018 and 19. ​@@AidanRatnage

[@furret1907]

​@@luginess0 Even if he didn't know the video existed, he at least could've looked up guides on beating games jumpless.

5:22 you can dive in sm64. 7:03 you can use Player 2, and use quirks with the geometry to reach the terrace where you can do EVERY star except for the boss without jumping. 9:25 I think this is possible with multiplayer since you can bounce on each others heads to get a power up that lets you gain height in midair. The whole game should be possible. (Same with Mario Wii) 10:19 once again, multiplayer should make a lot of this game possible, probably the entirety of it. 11:33 this game actually has an in game jump counter, and I don’t think this jump actually counts even though it IS actually a jump 13:18 multiplayer. I think you need to get someone to play with for these challenges haha

[@JPMario]

For bowsers fury, there is a way to get a cat suit by getting 100 coins, but only in the earlier versions, as latest versions only give you mushrooms

[@Ansel_G]

@@JPMario that’ll definitely get you somewhere if you’re able to rollback

[@plague4661]

this video is a joke lol

[@JBKiser]

Nothing multiplayer or 1 person controlling multiple characters should count. This should only be 1 player using regular controls.

[@Ansel_G]

@@JBKiser in that case, Mario 64 still should go on for longer, you can at least get to bowser 1 without any tas tricks (getting into the pipe is crazy precise)

[@Gametoon05]

This feels like an April Fools video.

Super Mario Bros. Grandma Edition "You need to jump over the Goomba" "How do you jump?"

[@mautrongg3224]

You can point out that at the end of Super Mario Odyssey you can review your stats and one of those is Number of Jumps. Technically speaking the game can be beaten while having that number at 0. The game doesn't detect as Jumps towards that stat the following: First Jump to wake up, cappy jumps, jumping with almost every capture, hoping out of a tree or poles, and few other specifics to each world. Weirdly, talking to NPCs count as a Jump unless you talk to them in first person mode.

[@theMemeDetective]

I randomly found this video and it just relased 💀

[@bigjalapeno7061]

Lol

[@lucashall2013]

[@jesse4437]

I like how sm64ds is the thumbnail but the game itself isnt even covered

[@cylasbreakdown6140]

I know this is kind of a gag video, but GameChamp beat 3D World, Odyssey, and Bowser’s Fury jumpless.

[@bigjalapeno7061]

Idk who that is but that's impressive

[@thedabmaster287]

also the ABC for mario 64

[@e.sanghvi5657]

Nico is not a trans girl, so he lacks this power.

[@octi4684]

he had different rules tho, he just allowed jumping if your not standing on the ground, just like how the game detects a jup in the files

[@FireSonicYT]

but you need to jump to even be able to start playing. no, i don't care what Toadette's counter says, its still clearly a jump.

[@justinebidulopoutchini9774]

Id say not a lot of the main games lol

[@secretjazz93]

i did not even watch the video but i know that the answer is ZERO

[@idoshanintendo]

Fun fact, pressing jump in the intro to odyssey does not add up in the jumping counter at theend of the game

[@bigjalapeno7061]

Interesting

[@micahheyward5342]

It's probably still impossible to beat the game though

[@idoshanintendo]

@@micahheyward5342 Someone was already able to do so

[@Royalej0923]

Nico, it's actually possible to beat Mario Odyssey without jumping. I saw another KZbinr finishing the game with the jump counter at 0. I challenge you to take it further by collecting 500 moons without jumping and then beat dark side and darker side jumpless.

[@asiatikagaming]

Honestly, I wanna do a video now to revisit some games that MIGHT have some potential that Nico didn't do

[@snookerdooker471]

Nico: we can’t start Mario odyssey without jumping. Gamechamp: dude it’s a unique animation and you need coop to beat the game fully and act like it’s COVID with social distancing for the non cutscene trigger characters aka characters who are just npcs you can speak to.

[@rho-starmkl4483]

AND she also beat Super Mario 3D World jumpless by using Co-op.

[@jacobjude6319]

Try them all again but with Multiplayer, you’ll find that you can get a lot farther with being able to pick people up and throw them, and then hopping in a bubble to travel

[@scatlinksean]

10:24 Odyssey can be beaten without jumping. This "jump from knockout" and the "jump from knockout" in the Lost Kingdom doesn't count as a jump according to the game. Only the "jump from knockout" before the "Escape as Bowser" sequence counts as a normal jump, but you have to enter that moment in 2-player to launch Mario out of that state to move again. Also, any Cappy Capture Transformation "Jump" is also not a jump according to Toadette in the game. 0 Jumps is possible.

[@Progaming-gx8ul]

bro forgot you can dive in SM64

[@maddisondevine2821]

Not dive it is a roll out

[@GuanlongX]

[@paolobusub9222]

Hi, I'm an Italian, I wanted to tell you that in sm64 there is a way to enter the painting without making a jump. You will have to have a little luck to do it but it is doable. The way is as follows: you have to take a dive and as soon as you touch the ground click the jump button to get up quickly, if you do it at the right time you will be able to enter the painting. If for you diving is equivalent to jumping this method you won't need it.

[@jotanuki]

i'll trust you just because you're italian

[@Bradorks]

Super Mario 64 is different in that jumping is defined by the a button. Diving and recovering from a dive with the b button does not count as a jump. But getting the star might stop you.

[@mariotheundying]

Does it stop the ABC Challenge? Most likely not (if you don't know, that's the group who tries to beat sm64 with as less a button presses as possible, it's a years long project)

[@insertdumpunherereee3715]

Fun fact the “jump” at the start of SMO Doesn’t actually count towards the games in game jump counter so technically it’s not a jump

[@bunnyhatzuicecream]

Nico activated Captain Toad mode!

[@RugTAPgy_YT]

In super Mario bros 2 USA I did a TAS to see how far you can go without jumping and I reached the semisolid after that pow block. I also did that in Real-time but it's still impossible :(. Super Mario world was beaten by a TAS (it's hard to do in real time) in 5 jumps! Super Mario 64 (enter in painting by doing dive-recover ez real-time) was beaten by humans in ~70 jumps and a TASer called Pannenkoek2012/UncommentatedPannen beated it TAS 120 stars in 13 A presses (jumps). On the Wii it was beated Any% in 0 A presses hurray! You can beat NSMBWII really easy without jumping but you need 2P: Pick up your friend and make him bounce on the Roomba then he will bounce on your head and activate the "? Block" so the propeller will come out and it's over. Instead of jumping shake the controller to fly easy peasy lemon squeasy! For SMM2 I think that Luigi's parts could help you a bit more... I must check. I must check NSMBU right now.

[@ShadwSonic]

"Can't get into the first painting in SM64" Absolutely untrue. Diving and flipping out of a dive isn't jumping, but it _does_ grant some height. It's already been proven that you CAN beat that game without jumping... but I'm unsure if it needs glitches. I don't _think_ it does, since the total number of A presses needed for a 100% run is about a dozen (and that includes A presses that don't jump, like when you hold the button to enable slope kicks).

[@FireSonicYT]

there's 1 required A press in bowser in the fire sea for jumping off a pole. except for wii VC, but you have to wait 3 days for the platforms to raise lol.

[@theAstarrr]

Odyssey and Sunshine need exceptions lol Sunshine: Maybe using Fludd to go high doesn't count as jumping after you start Odyssey: After you get Cappy, is it possible never to jump? Does vaulting off of Cappy count as jumping?

[@snookerdooker471]

Also some “jumps” like the first two times you have to jump to wake up Mario from being unconscious have a unique animation and trigger a cutscene the third and final time Mario just does a regular jump also you can skip the cappy getting kidnapped part in lost kingdom by just doing some very careful jumps.

[@gamerogre5356]

"How many Mario games canI beat without jumping?" Goomba in the first level: finally my time to shine

[@catherinekerrigan4711]

You can actually beat Super Mario 3D World without jumping; you just need to utilize the multiplayer mode. For basic jumps, you spawn a second player and make him/her throw the first player where they need to go and then make the second player bubble to the first player. You'll also need the Cat Suit for most of the run for climbing and scratching. You'll also need to use the touch screen for some parts of the run to interact with other things. AND PLEASE BEWARE of Fuzzy Time Mine. You can also technically beat Super Mario Odyssey without jumping because the jump at the beginning doesn't count in the official jump counter as well as jumps performed while using captures. So if you use Cappy bounces, skip moons, and cheat the two-player mode, AND if you bounce off Cappy and talk to Toadette (who has the jump counter) while performing a ground pound in the air in the little frames where you can talk to her, you can TECHNICALLY beat the game with ZERO jumps Just take my word and don't do these challenges

[@ZingaMadinga]

The only time the Goomba has ever been a threat. Poor Mario, that must be embarrassing.

With the New Super Mario Bros series, the jump the goombas do can actually be slid under with proper timing. Adeal's TASes did an entire jumpless series, where 4 players and a lot of deaths and waiting were able to make it all the way to 1-Tower the normal way before getting softlocked, only due to a lack of mini mushrooms and couldn't use the cannon because of a restriction on using bubbling. If they didn't have that restriction, they would have made it all the way to 8-airship before getting softlocked there due to a restriction on ALL Wiimote shaking, including the screw portion to open it. Without that restriction which was needed three times, they would have made it then all the way to the end credits. It was ONLY one instance of needing to bubble in 1-Cannon and three instances of needing to use screws in 8-Airship.

[@NokiDoki]

For Sunshine, you apparently didn't run around on the title screen long enough: as glitch-hunter Grégoire P. discovered, running into the options side and immediately back out lets you start a game without jumping into any of the blocks! It only works if the memory card is out though, which means the Switch version is still stuck, but on any GameCube version, you can get pretty far without jumping, and if you allow wallkicks (which don't count as jumps in Odyssey) you can even get all 120 Shines!
