Is It Possible to Beat Super Mario Galaxy While Permanently Crouching? -Crouch Only Challenge

[@Awoken_YKW_Fan9001]

I like the part where he overcomplicates backflipping.

[@YoloYester94]

“So the whole video” That’s not the point of the challenge.

[@Quilquala]

My favorite part was the part where he was crouching

I love how much more expressive he's gotten over the years. He used to be relatively monotone throughout most of the video but now he puts a lot more character into his lines. It definitely helps make the videos a lot more interesting to watch.

[@frankonaig7278]

[@uncann130]

Actually, it should be possible to get the race star in Sea Slide Galaxy. Speedrunners use a trick where they swim at the surface of the water and continuously shake the controller, which allows them to go much faster and maintain their air level while doing so. I haven't tested it out while crouching yet, but it should be possible nonetheless.

[@emilee4268]

Really enjoyed the vid as always. The "spirit of the challenge" rule is a great addition. It makes it feel more earned

[@gnericc_mistyck]

I still stick to my word after all these years that Bowser 2 in Galaxy is one of the best Bowser Boss Fights in Mario History. Making the two parallel each other with what moves they have is something that makes a lot of these fights unique, but the fact that they took away the spin move in the final fight is dirty and a disservice to Bowser.

[@segtendo3218]

Difficulty wise the 2nd fight is better and harder and i can understand why you prefer it, but overall i still prefer the final fight.

[@TheBlueWizzrobe]

I feel like the rolling green galaxy definitely violates the spirit of the challenge. Mario is clearly standing and moving his legs while in an upright position.

[@crexalbo]

Agreed. Maybe if you could be in the super-fast state the whole time, where Mario rolls on top of the ball.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

I would consider it a power up that fundamentally changes your movement scheme- if the bee suit is allowed, the rolling ball with a star is allowed too.

[@dannyfoxboi]

Yeah, I was wondering what justification he had for that. I'm not upset with it, just confused.

[@sagacious03]

@@CMeeCraftGamingOh and I've also accidentally found a bug that could've help you in the race against the penguins, basically when you're swimming on the water (and not IN the water, otherwise the bug won't work) and Luma spin in a certain position, you'll get incredible speed, but it's pretty hard to do. To get in that specific position you have to jump out of the water with a Luma spin, then while in mid air hold your joystick downward to make Mario going up, so he won't go under the water after the jump, but on the water, and then you're capable to Luma spin without jumping out of the water (like you'll normally do in that position on the water) and gaining great speed while spinning, but still with you're joystick pointing downwards and spamming Luma spin. Oh and you can't turn abruptly while in this position or it won't work, so it works only if you are going relatively straight. I'm also saying that I've found it because I've never seen anyone doing it, even on KZbin...

[@CMeeCraftGaming]

Yeah, I stumbled upon it accidentally during an attempt and initially thought that the game might just take mercy on you and slow down the bunnies if you fail for long enough. Further experimentation though showed that it was the water.

Pro tips : If you spin at bowser you can cancel his fire attack. If you spin near the surface of the water, you can get extremely far. This is the basic way to speedrun water parts, and probably shouldn't go against the spirit of the challenge.

You know, it's nice to see a challenge lately that isn't Catan easy or Triple Deluxe hard. This feels like a great middle ground. That said, I guess you really like Mario Galaxy, huh? Edit: Ok, nevermind, bunnies and Bowser crank it up several notches. That said, I know of a speedy combo that gets past Thwomps. It's called: ZL + L + A = Long Jump. If you crouch before and after the leap, you fly forward without breaking the spirit of the challenge.

Finally another challenge video. I've been yearning for one of these. Plus, since Mario Galaxy is my favourite game of all time, it gets bonus points. Also, as someone who has beaten a few levels while permanently crouching (In the 3D Allstars version), it is possible to long jump by hold back a tiny bit after the backflip, then holding forward all the way, and then you should have enough momentum to long jump.

Since "Spirit of the Challenge" is so vaguely defined, I did notice a pattern to the violations which largely revolved around giving Mario standard ground movement. Really, any time Mario stands up and can walk.
