New Super Mario Bros DS’s CRAZY Vs. Mode

[@piranhalettuce]

There's a fan remake of Mario Vs. Luigi called Mario Vs. Luigi Online, you can play the game with anyone online and play with up to 10 Players. It even has power ups like the Ice Flower and Propeller Mushroom.

6:01 This actually ended up being the reason Shy Guy would end up becoming my favorite Mario character and by extension my "identity". I played Mario Kart DS a lot in high school but I didn't own the game so I was forced to always play as Shy Guy. His design would end up growing on me.

Quick tips that I gathered from playing this mode: Ground pounds attacks makes your opponent lose 3 stars. You have I-Frames entering and exiting the pipes meaning you can stall your opponent's starman if they are camping at the pipes. There's an upper layer on the pipe stage only accessible by wall jumping using the mini mushroom powerup on the right side. Around 4 coins are located there and you can drop down at the spawnpoints. I don't recommend using your storable item because it cannot reach there. If there's not enough space for a mega mushroom to be used, you'll revert to big mario/luigi and store the mega mushroom in your inventory. Be carefully using this tactic since the audio of the mega mushroom reverting CAN be heard so your opponent can know what just happened as well. The amount of stars affect your 8 coins bonus item odds. I'm not sure the exact numbers but when I play, it's pretty common to see the losing player get a starman or mega mushroom while falling at 4 or more stars behind (I pretty much play exclusively on first to 10 stars games) In the 3 by 3 alcove of the castle that has the bomb and the question mark block, there's enough space to have the bomb explode on one side and keep you safe if you are on the other.

[@StevenJones851]

That's interesting too know

[@Naito9874]

Imma add onto this since I played it a lot as a kid and it's my first video game as well I don't remember there being any sound cue for the Mega Mushroom reverting, if anything, the tell was that you don't here "Here we gooo!/Alright!" with your opponent's footsteps Entering a pipe gives you I-frames, but also pauses the starman, meaning the infamous "pipe gamble" can then begin. You have a few options both as the defender (vulnerable) and the attacker (starman), and it all comes down to the distance between you and them: -As a defender, if they're entering the pipe right behind you, keep the loop going, they either have to leave or see if you'll crack first. It doesn't last indefinitely. If they're further beyond, wait for them to start appearing through the pipe on your screen, then enter the pipe, here's why -As the attacker, if you're too far behind, and you know your opponent while try to re-use the pipe, either try to get a loop going or stay on the pipe without moving at all. The goal is to trick your opponent into entering the pipe at a moment you didn't. The pipe gives you I-frames and you can just hold down on the D-pad to re-enter as much as you want, however there is one or few frames of vulnerability before the game allows you to go back in. So if you trick your opponent and remain on the middle of the pipe, they take damage and lose a star. This is somewhat huge, because then you can give up on the chase and go for the ? block instead, effectively denying a reliable way for your opponent to get a power-up. They might be somewhat desperate and try to make a run for it, which can be even better for you. In that case, don't greed, go steel the power up from the block first, then go for them. If when you entered the pipe you were too close to them, wait a bit before entering the pipe after around 2 to 5 pipe entries (or be sneaky and wait a tiny bit each time), then continue the loop now that you're a bit more late. You probably get where this is going: the goal is to set up a situation similar to the one I described prior, but to work, your opponent really needs to blunder and enter the pipe without checking if you're coming out of it. On the castle level, you can move around at running speed if you repeatedly jump while crouching (and holding the run button obviously) This is very, very useful if you need to chase someone when the ceiling comes down, since you effectively get the size of Small Mario (no power-ups Mario) for the trade-off of nothing (in the context of a chase) There's a well-known "anti-mega mushroom" spot on the ice level, below the Bill Blaster. Go there if the opponent used a Mega Mushroom. If you have a mega mushroom, make sure to be close to that zone when you use it, as well as being between your opponent and the zone, to maximise your chances of landing a hit In the underground level, while using a mega-mushroom, you can jump above the blocks that are above the void below, and avoid death by jumping again as you touch them (which destroys them). The time window is strict, but it's quite useful if you want your opponent to lose a life, especially if they easily manage to keep their distances. Overall a very fun strategy, but I wouldn't recommend it to people that don't have many time spent on the mode yet. The reason why is simple: if you get a mega mushroom, chances are (if you're playing with lives) you have a life deficit compared to your opponent. In that case, losing a life or even just trading can be really bad. But if you have the same number of lives or a life advantage, then definitely go for this, the more you train this strategy the better (iirc) If you stop holding the down button after ground pounding, the g.p will be canceled after the first breakable block you break. For some reasons... doing so while being Koopa Mario/Luigi often makes them do a little jump afterward, I don't know if it's always the case but it usually is. You can use this to destroy blocks that are above a death pit, such as a large part of the underground stage, or the blocks around the ice in the ice level. This doesn't have many applications, but it can definitely end up in a funny moment if you're lucky enough/use the red koopa's shell to your advantage by throwing it, which brings me to the next point (do note that you can also can the g.p at anytime by pressing up) Koopa shells (the throwable ones) are useful projectiles, learn to throw them and at the right spots. These can be above a pit, near obstacles... You want to bait your opponent into jumping (or appear with a shell by surprise as they did so), then throw the shell while they're falling. Try to be relatively close, or else they might use a ground pound to avoid your attack. The shell can also protect you from a fire ball but will disappear if it happens. Use your opponent's peace of mind as they comfortably use their fire flower to your advantage: try to dodge the fireballs, then throw the shell to your opponent when you're close enough. One person can only have two of their fireballs out at all time. In this mode, the whole stage is permanently loaded (from what I understand), so fireballs have to hit something to disappear, meaning the further you are from a wall the better. Starman's full speed is significantly faster than normal while running, but this doesn't apply if the character is using a blue shell, so feel free to just run away in a straight line. In fact, the blue shell is sliiiightly slower than normal running, and the star doesn't change its speed whatsoever. If you have a star while being Fire Mario/Luigi, you can hit your opponent with a fireball and hit them with your starman before their I-frames start. As a result, they will drop two stars total, and lose a power-up/life. Ground-pounding someone makes them lose three stars, yes, but also has significantly higher knockback and longer hitstun (time during the opponent cannot control their character). You can use this to make someone fall into a pit they would've not to with a regular jump (usually making them take the "face-off" with less caution than if they were close enough to the ledge). This can be especially useful on the grass, ice, or castle level, but also applications in the two others (the less obvious one being the pipe level, using this to push someone into a piranha plant, but usually, a regular jump would've made the cut as well) This is all the advance stuff I can recall from memory, maybe I'll make a guide one day, that'd be fun

[@StevenJones851]

@@Naito9874 thanks for the information!!!!

[@ashleycd6487]

the mini area isn't only for the mini mushroom, if you're super or fire mario/luigi you can wall-jump off of a pipe and by triple jumping on the left yellow pipe and wall-jumping, you can get there

[@PrettyKoolCrocodile]

NSMB VS is probably the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer DS game, I spent hours playing it and your video sums up my thoughts perfectly. I commonly play off DS Download Play which has a load time that isn't the worst thing but afterward does consistent loading times throughout the rest of the game. I wish it returned in later NSMB entries but sadly that's kinda impossible now without awkward screen splitting.

[@StevenJones851]

NSMB VS mode is so incredibly fun

[@MineCrapSteve]

This and Nintendo Land were by far the most fun I've had with any local multiplayer game.

[@TheRealHedgehogSonic]

For those who only came for Mario vs. Luigi content, the video starts at 7:44.

[@StevenJones851]

Thank you so much

[@taiphonix9232]

How is the main point of the video under half of the video?

[@ShiGuy55]

Recently replayed this battle mode during a camping trip with a friend, the amount of shouting and adrenaline rushes that happened during those games was incalculable.

[@clumzyn7892]

That game mode was my childhood I have so Many strategy's it's insane 1:if they get a mega mushroom and you in grass world you can walk jump in the hole if your good enough to not get hit the entire time, you can also hide from them in the ice world beneath the unbreakable blocks rendering it obsolete 2: if they get a star and your in the pipe world don't worry use the pipes to go back and forth you have invincibility frames each time you go through so just rinse and repeat if you see them coming from the other side, you can also escape the mega mushroom that way or hide up on top the red pipe 3: stealing power ups is key in this mode so hover over your opponents and steal their power ups especially if they get a star or mega shroom this becomes especially viable in the brick world 4: ground powneds are incredibly powerful and useful if you hit your opponent with one they lose 3 stars instead of 1 and when near pits are incredibly powerful since it launches them farther than a normal bonk on the head losing 4 stars and a power up if done correctly 5:in the castle mini mushroom and shell are king these are the most power power ups in that world based on the increase viability for movement and destruction if you have the blue shell since you become a ricochet machine 6: if you hit the bomb in the castle stage and are stuck in the tiny space don't worry move it to the other side and move to the opposite side if you hit the bomb giving you optimal space 7: losing your stars in the beginning dosent matter only when enough stars have spawned is their a risk to losing the game and if you ground pound them effectively you will have no trouble dealing with them 8:coin stealing and hoarding is an effective way for the opponent not to get any power ups since if their not able to get coins they can't get power ups and the coins respawn after every star so keep that in mind 9:do don get ground pound as a mini mushroom since you will die and loose all your stars in 1 easy death plus a normal hit counts as a normal ground pound hit so be careful 10:being tiny or small mario(not mini) has its advantages since you have a smaller hit box if you have advance movement capabilities you will be able to travers the map effortlessly making the game feel and be funnier in general 11: learn the movement for each map, the spots, power up locations, hiding, attack points, etc so you can be as optimal as possible. if you say but theirs not much to do movement wise your right but you can blaze through the map if you know how to move and trust as a kid playing this none stop with my brother trust me you can def move crazy in this game 12:crouch jump in castle is your best friend since when standing your hit box is bigger crouch jumping will be the way you move around without dying and barely making it to that one spot you wouldn't without it plus your speed if done correctly isent hindered at all only when touching the ground so spam jump We'll now you know some of things I remembered as a 12 year old and now considering buying 2 3ds to play new super Mario and play with friends again as a 18 year old lol

[@autismandgaming4532]

To rub Salt into the Well deserved wound that is New Super Mario bros. U deluxe, It removed the admittedly really fun Boost mode from the original Wii u game, which in term removed the 5th set of challenges all about the boost mode making the re release feel incomplete, AND YOU MAY AS WELL REMOVE BUCKIN BERRY AKA BLUE TOAD WHILE YOU'RE AT IT

[@Mr2Secs]

MelonDS already allows local multiplayer and Download Play since December of last year. Also, this mode got a fangame remake called Mario Vs Luigi Online that has more stages, alternate colors, more power-ups and up to 10 players! P.D: Blue Shell best 2D Mario item!

[@JoJoboiWav]

AINT NO WAY???? SO YOU CAN PLAY ONLINE DS GAMES ON MELON??

I tried playing this on MelonDS and it never worked.

0:57 Nintendo wasn’t doing so well in 2004? Metroid Zero Mission, Super Mario 64, WarioWare Twisted, Pikmin 2, Mario Party 6, Paper Mario TTYD, and Mario Power Tennis!

[@SevenThirteen]

I believe someone made a web browser version of this game, having up to 10 players. I'm not sure whether or not Nintendo has taken it down yet tho.

[@SmokePudding]

It's still there, I think my comment about it got flagged or deleted 😭

[@magmarxiogaming6717]

funnily enough there's a really good fangame that is literally just this cranked up to 11. It has online play, can have up to 10 players, powerups from New Soup Wii, and more levels and themes. it's called Mario vs Luigi Online and it does exactly what you want with this Dane

[@cryolitegem]

The ice stage was always my favorite. The large size was great because it gave more room for running away which leads to a competition of platforming skill. As for the launch pad, I have had a good number of great moments where I’ve landed right behind somebody after dropping from above, plus air chases are surprisingly tense because of the limited maneuverability. Lastly, that blue koopa is the blueberry on top. Also while I agree that the castle stage is not great, turning on limited lives makes for some close calls that are made even closer by your opponent trying to keep you from escaping death.

[@CDeity]

My family hated playing this cause I'd always steal their stars lmao

[@ShokyoLeaf]

BLUESHELL IS THE BEST POWER!!! i have a legit save on my old ds where i got the blue shell and i still love it

I want to go back in time to the ds days seeing the new super mario bros game again brings so much nostalgia playing that game when i was a kid

[@TravTravRA]

Im the oldest in my family, and having my younger brothers (2) or younger sister play against me was GREAT- I distinctly remember hearing my younger brother's footsteps coming to the spin launcher right as I grab the star then following above me trying to nail me for it, the Ice stage was my favorite because it turned the other player into a looming threat you could run the other way from.

[@wags696]

Dude, Mario Vs. Luigi is so goated. This is basically the only Mario game that me and my dad play together, because of this mode.

[@PerishStupid]

Yes finally I’ve been waiting for a review on the vs mode, I made my brother rage when ever we played it

[@GenoTheAxolotl]

I remember playing this with my brother and it was some of the few times we would genuinely get along, also we would be willing to kill each other arguing over who got to be Luigi

[@TheContestants]

I will say that the castle level is not trash if youre playing with lives. Fireball stunning your friends til to crush them was chaotic and fun as hell

[@amesstarline5482]

I'm still surprized Blue Shell isn't back, or that in levels, Blueshell Koopas weren't in.

[@YOSHBAG]

They could literally make a game that’s JUST Mario VS Luigi with like more characters and stages, case & point, the Mario VS Luigi online remake & its mods. I would pay good money for a game like this, it would be an absolute blast.

[@SuperFitzieZX]

I always got the blue shell and ran into my opponents(my little sisters and best friend). That was the most op strategy for vs battles in New Super Mario Bros.
