Mario Speedrunner Reacts to Jaiden Animations - "Mario but I’m Blindfolded" | IMPOSSIBLE...

Today @jaidenanimations is back at it again with "Mario but I’m Blindfolded". In my Mario but I’m Blindfoldedo reaction, I use my Mario Speedrun and randomizer skills to watch the Jaiden Animations kaizo Mario challenge!
This isn't Jaiden's first video game challenge. She's done Pokemon nuzlocke challenges in "I Attempted my First Pokemon Nuzlocke" and "I Attempted a Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke". In my reaction today, like my "I Attempted a Speedrun (and got a world record)" reaction, I'm going to look at what Jaiden Animations did right, and where she slipped up.
As always remember to watch the original on @jaidenanimations "Mario but I’m Blindfolded" here: • How hard could BLINDFO... and don't forget you can SUBSCRIBE to my channel here: / yobgs
Jaiden Animations is a bit of a pokefan, and pokemon challenge aficionado, having discussed "The best pokemon game you never played" and having animations of "Animated Pokemon Shorts (ORAS Special)." She also has taken on speedrunning challenges in Cooking Mama 2. Today I'm reacting to I Attempted Impossible Mario by Jaiden Animations because it is intense and incredible!
Thanks for checking out the channel and have a great day! #jaidenanimations #mario #reaction #jaiden #speedrun

Maybe this is what I need to get back into speedrunning since it's been a minute but I miss it. Props to Jaiden for being a God-tier sport to try all these challenges!

[@frozenfiredarknight3764]

so, question, how is ANYONE supposed to know the Mario Bros continue button Normally or blindfolded? we aren't all experts like you Dude. and Jaiden doesn't even see the buttons

[@Blaze23124]

@@frozenfiredarknight3764 Given how old YoBGS is I'd think he'd have probably seen it in a game magazine.

[@DrewconicSorceress]

"Alpharad sounds kinda like Ranboo" during Jaiden's subathon she did D&D with the two of them and it is very difficult to tell them apart

[@YoBGS]

I have to go back and watch this, I LOVE DnD and seeing the three of them together is hilarious

[@DEV-gz2eu]

I don't know if there is any lore with Jaiden and her little companion. I just call them Big Jaiden and Little Jaiden respectfully. In Jaiden's earlier videos, Little Jaiden would have some screen time by herself, doing her own things as Jaiden narrates. At some point, before or around the Mario Kaizo video, Little and Big Jaiden started to share the screen together. In Jaiden's recent videos, Little Jaiden not only interacts with objects around Big Jaiden, but also other characters. Little just became her own character overtime, but she and Big Jaiden share the same voice and thoughts. It's like if the inner you became a physcial being and you could interact with it. I think. I find any moments with Little Jaiden to be very cute and they add a bit of extra fun to every video. Great reaction video.

[@YoBGS]

Haha I appreciate this so much. I swear this is one of the first times I saw the two of them actively hanging out together in one of her videos. Little Jaiden is a chaos demon and I'm a fan

[@black97_0]

You know I never did question the lore implications about Jaiden, and little Jaiden My theory is that LJ is an extension of J If you watched JOJO, you can think of LJ as J's stand Which is also why I prefer to call little Jaiden "Animation" Jaiden, and her stand Animation

[@YoBGS]

This may be the best comparison I've red so far, I love it!

[@TiBunCosplay]

I think little Jaiden is her inner child. We first started seeing her in storytimes that touch on her childhood but lately she's been showing up more in the background just living her best life no matter what big Jaiden is doing. I think Jaiden just started doing that to visually show the things that excite her inner child. like in her Digimon video where big Jaiden is struggling with playing the game and wishing for death but little Jaiden is having fun ordering Digimon plushies because inwardly she is enjoying the Digimon designs and finding favorites to love.

[@TrueN8-bit]

5:14 I was a bit disappointed about this segment as well, because of the continue code thing. However, considering they also opted against SMB3 for similar reasons, I think even starting over from the beginning of the world would be too much for them (continuing is a per world basis, if you continue in 4-4, you'll start at 4-1. Just wanted to make it clear for everyone, since that continue thing is bizarrely obscure knowledge given how popular the game is). Based on how Super Mario World went, I don't blame them. Needing to redo any of the levels probably would have driven them (by which I mean specifically Jacob) insane. Fun reaction, as always. Looking forward to whatever you have in store next.

[@YoBGS]

Yeah I kinda realized toward the end I think the goal was to beat 1 world, not just 1 level. BUT that said, 1-3, the flying fish level in Mario 1, would've been a nightmare lol

[@DragonSongStudios]

Finally someone else noticed his voice sounding similar to Ranboo! There was a part in the soul link with Jaiden where o was like “…he sound like Ranboo a little bit-“

[@cpcoultertweedles7216]

Alpharad recently held an award show for all his friends (long story), and Jaiden ended up winning the award for Best Gamer. Honestly, I doubt anyone was surprised (except maybe Jaiden)

[@rebelx2023]

These are the kind of videos that really have me wanting for YoBGS to do some speed runs of his own.

[@YoBGS]

I need to get back into it. I think all 40-some of my records have long been broken at this point. I guess I just worry people won't care about my gaming content or, idk, I need to get over my self-consciousness I suppose

[@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness]

I think it'd be interesting to see Jaiden do a blindfolded Portal 2 co-op run

[@cipherusplays7511]

I absolutely love your Jaiden reaction videos!! You're extremely entertaining, your opinions and perspectives are great due to your extensive gaming background and you're always respectful!! You certainly deserve many more subs than you have. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's to you!🌵

[@YoBGS]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@DrewconicSorceress]

If you want similar content to what Jaiden does, RubberRoss occasionally does similar video structures but his stuff is usually more art focused, and DougDoug does all kinds of challenge like what Jaiden does but without animation

[@YoBGS]

I love DougDoug and have watched him a bunch. It's just this weird thing where I have to find people who folks want to watch alongside me and that's complicated.

[@friedpinnapple]

I’d love to see you get back into speedrunning. Ive got over a week with no work so i’ll be trying to record a cult of the lamb 100% speedrun. I can actually get the WR pretty easily its not a competitive category….cause the current WR is just under 9 hours…

[@BlueSodaPop_]

That sounds like an absolute drag, oh my goodness. Then again, the game doesn't seem particularly - breakable

[@friedpinnapple]

@@BlueSodaPop_ 100% gets no attention, literally there are only 2 run’s currently. Any% NMG mostly boils down do getting golden fleece as soon as possible and then playing perfectly, any% with glitches actually has this really cool one to get to different areas before unlocking them so they go to midas cave early and get Golden Fleece a bit sooner. Yeah its not a very breakable game. Either way i prefer the routing aspect of runs more then skill based execution. 100% play mild time management as we get everything else needed before grinding devotion at the shrine. Which takes a few in game days when your good.

[@BlueSodaPop_]

@@friedpinnapple I've tried speedrunning a few different games before and learned about myself that I *really* struggle executing techniques that need very specific, fast button presses. So routing is usually what I'm most interested in as well, lol. I might take a look at the run then, though nine hours would probably still be - uhm, TOO long for my taste lol

[@YoBGS]

People with the patience to speedrun 9 hours are incredible to me. I've done FF6 and Earthbound runs and both were I think in the 6-8 hour range and I almost lost my mind

[@friedpinnapple]

@@BlueSodaPop_ 9 hours is an amateur time. I easily get runs in under 7, sub 6 is pretty possible. Its actually an interesting run to do since there a lot going on that you’re trying to balance.

[@acetheinadequate]

Woke up to this on Christmas vacation with my cousins. Life is great

[@YoBGS]

Happy Christmas Vacation! Hope you have a great one!

[@PixelPandas]

5:07 i haven’t finished the video yet but wouldn’t she had to do that blindfolded?

[@YoBGS]

That... is something I had not considered lol

1:23 first, hahaha, my time stamp And 2nd my nightmare was always the flipping ground slam stun guys, especially when they are next to hammer bros!

[@GloomyFish]

wow I had no idea there was a continue in Mario 1 learned something new today!

[@Bardic_Knowledge]

Alpharad did a video of him and three friends playing Mario Party blindfolded.

[@YoBGS]

Alpharad rules. Now I'm just thinking about who would've played with him... Smant, Pointcrow, and DougDoug are my guess lol

[@makerofthebroken]

I imagine the 'real' Jaiden and 'Animated' Jaiden is a reference to Lizzie McGuire, where Hillary Duff played the real Lizzie and the Animated version would step in to fill the audience in on Lizzie's inner thoughts and emotions.

[@geekasaurusrexy]

I love that you remember the layout of the levels, speedrunning will do that I guess?

[@YoBGS]

In games like Mario World the speedrun is sort of like a dance. The enemies and platforms are always in the same spot if you do it the same way every time, so you just remember when to jump, even if you don't remember what you're jumping off of lol

[@wesleypatterson2989]

I didn't comment this on jaiden's video because mental health can be a touchy subject, but I wonder if she has dyscalculia? I have it and not being able to tell my left and right is one of my biggesy symptoms along with having trouble counting money, guessing measurements etc

[@hatandhoodie_]

Even with the continue code, starting at the beginning of a World is still quite brutal for this challenge.

[@DamienSMM]

Hey Yobgs nice vid! I was wondering when your next stream will be because I have been looking forward to a new one.

[@YoBGS]

Sorry! After Christmas! I had a good schedule planned then a loved one got Covid and I’ve kinda been looking after them!

[@AngelicGuardian36905]

May I suggest reacting to Jaiden playing Fossil Fighters next?

[@u140550]

Even if they knew how to continue, try explaining that to jaiden who is blindfolded just the other instructions he’s given… I’d rather it start at the beginning; unless it’s further in the game as they’re not so far in. If you know what I mean.
