[@RandomParanoia]

Even after beating the entire game, chugga hasn't figure out that the reason he keeps failing his hammer parry is because there is a limit of how long you can hold out the hammer.

[@miguel7888]

He actually brings it up pretty early on, but then midway through the game he started playing Brothership and Paper Jam where you can hold it indefinitely and I guess forgot after that.

IN DA REMAKE: When Bowser X gets low on health and goes into Fury mode, he eats a drumstick and fully heals.

This also activates fury, so Bowser becomes twice as dangerous, but he takes twice the damage as well.

Emile at the beginning of the LP: "Don't worry too much about buffing speed or defense." Emile at the end of the LP: *_Constantly losing the bros to attacks he can't dodge, and complaining he doesn't get to attack much during boss fights._* Surely these statements aren't connected... Probably.

[@argentum1738]

This whole video is just comeuppance for his poor stat distribution.

[@LeMuDX]

Not really due to poor defense as much as he just isn’t that great at dodging boss attacks, but he is low on SP regardless

[@ShockInazuma]

To be fair, one of those bosses he fought in the remake only gave him trouble because he was severely underlevelled and underpowered due to the save file being a speedrun save. I’m pretty sure he even ended up one-cycling the same boss in the original.

[@DrakeSilver]

@@ShockInazuma yes, you are broken and the game auto defeats itself against the normal bosses, but if you then try to go for the harder bosses and you have no idea how to dodge their attacks since you never got to see them regularly AND you have nothing besides "i deal a ton of damage" you are not going to be having a good time.

Seriously, I know Emile isn't a Pro Gamer™ and is more so the chill, funny guy, but it's become *painful* seeing him flub easy dodges by either mistiming the jumps (especially when he does it for BOTH bros???), or erroneously holding the hammer buttons down due to muscle memory from the later titles.

Alright since you admitted it is your first time fighting Bowser X - 43:20 for those who might ask - Emile, fun fact, Bowser X is IMMUNE to status effects. Meaning you wouldn't have been able to inflict Defense Down no matter how perfect you were with Falling Star and if Bowser didn't vacuum up Bros Attacks.

[@ashelygordon669]

If I am genuinely honest here, I actually hate the fact that this specific let’s play is just about wrapped up and I am very excited about the next one, don’t get me wrong but I personally won’t mind seeing more content from either this or Bowser in general because I really appreciate all of the dedication and hard work Emile has put into. And even then, I would love to see more Mario and Luigi content from Emile because this has been a blast and will always be my favorite let’s play that he’s done and won’t be remotely close. I would have a hard time pronouncing his game but whoever created Bowser is a genius because while Mario and Luigi are more popular, I can tell they put a lot of love and passion into his character design and I also would love to see Bowser have his own game because he’s the most interesting character outside the Mario brothers and I wouldn’t mind seeing Bowser being the protagonist more often because sure, he has been in multiple entries but never had an actual solo game and it is weird how Antasma kept his theme in his X version than the Dark Star, I think I understand why they did it but even then, its perplexing yet some still criticize Bowser and Antasma‘s roles towards the end of the story in Dream Team and sure that game has its problems such as the tutorials and gyro controls but at least its interesting enough and kinda wished Paper Jam had a different plot instead of recycling the same story of kidnapping Peach. But I definitely would love to see more Bowser content for sure!!!! #chuggaaconroy

​@@ashelygordon669Dream Team involves Peach getting kidnapped at one point too, though.

Also wearing equipment with zero defense

[@luciuseclipse]

The game 100% intends for you to beat the end game by about the end of shine rank, achieving star a little bit before the final battle at most, that's about the level where Dark Bowser's fight still has the amount of challenge you'd expect from the usual Mario and Luigi final boss. The extra content expects quite a bit of grinding as a post game.

[@KnightofFunnyJunk]

Am I the only one who thinks its odd how in order to justify the Bros having screentime in this game they create a super boss arena exclusive only to them but they couldnt think of anything for Bowser to do in the post game? You'd think they'd at least give him his own version of what the Bros are doing inside him since why else give him an ultimate equipment piece when its essentially worthless for him to have on him. Its like they made the bowser sections "too good" so you barely need to prepare him for any real danger It reminds me in Earthbound how when you fix the Broken Bazooka you dont need the Gaia Beam. If anything, the Gaia Beam is so not worth the trouble that by the time you get to Giygas you wonder why you even grinding the IQ needed to equip it come the end of the game.

[@CorruptEngieJR]

Darn right, I checked my original save file for the game and my Bowser’s defense was well above 500. Chugga- “defense doesn’t matter if you don’t get hit” ok man, but it kinda does if you do, like in this video.

[@ashelygordon669]

Defense is just as important as offense and saying it doesn’t matter is coming back to haunt him because the latter of boss fights are no joke!!! 😮🤡

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@ashelygordon669 Well, evasive action is also defense. It just so happens that, if you are good at the game your numerical value for defense does not matter, as all damage received will be zero. Chugga is not that good at the game (Sorry, Chugga). A player who does not have the task of commentating a playthrough will probably perform much better and get hit much less.

[@ScootsLounge]

I will say, maybe he did that to troll himself, as he has stated he does, but either way it was at least funny.

[@lucasmueller5038]

it is impressive to me that chugga instead of just stopping the danger mario attempts just grinds to level 50 instead, ignoring a safer albeit slower setup. I remember taking 2 tries at the gauntlet myself at level 40 first one going to the turn limit and second one winning. the Turn limit itself isnt your actual enemy since you will run out of items and BP probably before that hits so its safer to rely on a setup that prioritizes survival instead of raw damage like chugga over here did. also the excellent !! is amazing and chugga is doing it somewhat a disservice since it only empties luigis side of the badge meter if it isnt full. you only need a tiny sliver from luigis side too since marios side can just fill all the way and the bonus being basically double the effect of the excellent badge makes it worth the risk especially since you can use luigis turn using either easier bros moves (or just be a god) or doing a basic jump or hammer. That and once the badge meter is full I believe it cant empty or if it does I never noticed because full badge meter use it. other notes of course being chugga talking about the tank luigi setup yet never using it despite this being the best way to actually show off the tank luigi setup. Last note being that it is interesting to me how many people just get wrecked by the defensive hammer commands both because it cannot be held eternally and because the later hammer counters often try to punish spamming hammer swings with both bros by adding slight delays to follow ups or straight up having alternating patterns that will hit the second bro if you time it for the first hit. the shyguy squad is being probably the final boss of hammer counter timing. anyway great video and my condolences for grinding to level 50 that is a truly brutal grind. Also personally my strat for bowser X was using the lower BP bros attacks to fill the badge meter and then use the triple damage you get from it on the high cost ones.

[@silverflight01]

35:21 You know it's an ultra difficulty spike when everything else in a superboss rush is being destroyed with barely any effort, yet this boss is giving massive trouble

[@zacharylandrum4789]

I understand that's the point of a superboss, but cranking the difficulty up to 19 just isn't fun. A strict turn limit, being directly punished for not knowing the attack patterns ahead of time, losing access to your Special Attacks after just ONE USE and having almost zero items... This is honestly way more frustrating than it is fun. And when all you get are useless Coins because you already beat the game, it's just not worth it. Hence why I'm glad there's no boss gauntlet in Brothership, it's just a waste of resources.

[@WooperK]

i mean... the X bosses i meant for people who want a final challenge in their M&L games, it's a true test of their skills, and i had such a hard time fighting bowser X for the first time but it felt SO DAMN! GOOD! when i finally beat bowser X, learning the attack patterns is the challenge of M&L, and actually using other bros attacks other than falling star and magic window and mighty meteor. if it's to hard... just don't do it

The Dark Star actually does that attack against Starlow in the vanilla version as well! I remember well as a child when I was close to beating him and got punished for staying in the air.

[@ethnictendo]

Personally, I always let go as soon as the "blip-blip-blip" sound plays, so as a kid when I saw that attack for the first time, I was like "Whew, good thing I didn't stay there!". That said, I understand the mindset, I would've freaked out too in your place.

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

@@ethnictendo If I remember the Dark Star X fight correctly, I think that the speed of that attack varies sometimes, so I think it can range from between 2.5 "blips" to 3 "blips", but otherwise, yes, I learned to heavily rely that strategy a lot on my playthroughs too while challenging myself to beat Dark Star X at level 35. Of course, it always becomes awkward when fighting vanilla Dark Star on repeat playthroughs, due to the different timing of the attacks.

[@antiguy6474]

I think one of the main reasons that Bowser X really ends a lot of people's Class 7 runs is because of just how much health he has. Not counting Chakron or the food items in Midbus 1's fight (or Brothership, since I don’t know things stat-wise there), Bowser X is the single strongest enemy in the entire sub-series, sitting at 7,155 HP (or if you're really crazy, 10,732 HP if you have the Challenge Medal equipped) along with no exploitable weaknesses aside from stat drops. It really is the end-all be-all challenge of the series, and there's nothing that I can advise on that isn't simply just 'get good'. Frankly, that's all you can do.

[@yaboipktendo]

Brothership does have an Enemie with 10,000 HP (there may be a boss that actually has more idk)

[@halyoalex8942]

​@@yaboipktendo many bosses in brothership have more hp than bowser x, but only bc the bros attacks in brothership are nuclear

While brothership has enemies with higher HP, none of them are as damaging nor as tanky as Bowser X. (Brothership difficulty is comparable to superstar saga's aka baby mode). Bowser X is still the strongest boss in the series and I'm mad that brothership didn't follow suit of what BiS, DT or even PJ did with the boss rushes...

[@silverstar6589]

13:39 ...or, you know, spam Mighty Meteor until Rank 5 to get items.

[@silverstar6589]

As for the final fight, the gimmick of it is losing every special attack you use as a counterattack. And to clarify, every fifth turn, the boss returns the latest special attack lost. So, try to be conservative with your higher damage output special attacks. Super Strike badge is your friend both on the sixth and the final badge.

[@ashelygordon669]

And from what I heard, Bowser has roughly over 10k in HP with the challenge medal equipped which I am honestly relieved that Emile didn’t do it if he was going to struggle this much. While I wholeheartedly agree that Dark Star X fight went atrociously wrong for him, the fight against Bowser X is the real challenge and honestly fine with leaving Bowser at level 31 and he may short end of the stick in terms of superbosses but he’s definitely the real superstar of this entire let’s play!!! 💛🤡😂

@@silverstar6589bros badge & tight belts is the best strategy A ok wear on both because you do not want to get a status ailment on bowser X it’s essentially game over if you’re struggling with counterattacks DX pow boots or Tip top boots if you’re capable of keeping your health 100% any damage negates the effect but it’s a nice 30% pow boost in return this build is beatable at level 44 that’s how confident I was it took me 1 attempt but i was struggling a bit at Bowser X his ultimate attack is devastating ☠️😣

It's actually the opposite, the problem is that he is not using daredevil boots. If Mario is already getting one shot by every attack bowser throws, the daredevil boots might as well have no penalty. Specially on challenge medal runs, mario has to solely focus on pow, otherwise you won't do enough damage (without being overleveled) to win. Mario is not the bro that should have the defense route.

Boss Gauntlets are always a rough experience, even if you have no trouble with any one given fight, each one serves to wear you down bit by bit before you reach the finale. Especially the pressure of knowing that if you fail, you have to run the whole gauntlet over again. Had a similar experience with the True Arena in Kirby Super Star Ultra.

[@zacharylandrum4789]

At least with Kirby games, there is an incentive to keep trying and get better at it by improving your best time. But RPGs have a huge problem with this type of stuff since it's just pain and the reward is so useless that it's just not worth it.

[@CrumbySoulsol]

Fun Fact:You can beat Bowser X without dodging! Shyguymask found a strategy to beat him even though it was thought impossible, even at level 99. (In case anyone wants to know, it’s in his “can you beat challenges that don’t deserve their own videos” video)

[@ceej5690]

[@SentinelX-24324]

I also wished Bowser X used the rest of his special attacks beyond the Goombas and Shy Guys, especially him using Broggy against the bros lmao

[@freedomish3420]

The way to dodge the first half of Bowser X's attack where he turns giant is to look at his hand. When he clenches his fist that means the fireball he's shooting is aimed at either Mario or Luigi, if his hand is open that fireball will miss. Since there's enough time between attacks to land after a jump you can safely jump with both bros whenever you see a clenched fist and you'll be fine.

[@sonicgamingkirbyfan2005v-xm2rl]

How to clear the final class of the gauntlet. 1. Make sure to aquire the tiger belt from the star rank item shop. It'll make the sp cost drop to half and makes spamming them have no consequences. 2. Have A-OK wear and the power boots/gloves on. This should give you the most power you can get without gimmicks. 3.Spam mighty meteor. The gauntlet didn't acount for it dropping items, so use it defeat the weaker bosses and hoard all the items you get. And don't mess up ONCE! Get as many items as possible. 4. When fighting the final battle in the seventh class, start with your weakest bros attacks. It'll start taking your atracks one at a time, so keep your strongest attacks in hand for as long as possible. Your special attacks will eventually come back, so once they do, basically rinse and repeat. 5. You'll likely won't beat it the first try, so study as much of the last boss as you can. Take notes, on its attacks, study it's new ones, and adapt to the fight. 6. Once you've got a handle on the attacks, you'll need a God level of patience to win. Similar to Elder shrooms boss fight in p.i.t, the last boss here will test your endurance and will power. Steel your will, and you'll eventually be able to defeat the true super boss of Bowser's inside story.

[@Ninpalk]

Let's Play #50, Ending with Mario and Luigi each on Level 50, and it is going to end on episode 50. You cooked emile, you cooked.

[@psychoDon525]

This is definitely the fight that tests "are you familiar with the limitations of your dodging skills?" The hammers only being able to be held out for a little bit, plus the fact that the attacks come hard and fast enough that you can't possibly dodge them all if you press both buttons at the same time. Definitely a bit frustrating to watch someone clearly capable of doing it at his current level, then lose due to not learning the fight, then deciding "levels will fix this"

[@shiningmagneton469]

I guess this s our first bonus episode. This LP really came and went in the blink of an eye, didn't it. And considering I can't imagine this game really having much of a postgame past these super bosses, it seems very likely that LP 50 is going to end with 50 episodes. That is a fortuitous coincidence. It's been a fun ride, and a wild one at times, but all good things must come to an end. May the new year bring even greater adventures. And hopefully start better than the last one did.

[@paddythelegend1671]

Kinda funny fact, you end up fighting Bowser X again in this games sequel, Dream Team, but he is significantly weaker since he's only the 2nd boss in the gauntlet

[@smackjack78]

What I like about that fight is that it remembers this game’s version of Bowser. In his Dream World fight, he uses his typical flames, but he also uses the sliding punch and the spike ball, things he picked up from this journey!

[@silverflight01]

I beat Brothership a few days back, so it's a treat to see this video uploaded where Chugga tackles the remaining BIS Superbosses

[@Masked_Mastermind]

I think the reason why Dark Star X uses the regular boss theme in the remake is because its new theme wouldn’t sound fitting in a battle arena type of background as opposed to the ominous shadowy background in its original fight. The reason why it made sense for Antasma X in Dream Team to still use his own boss music is because that fight still took place in the same area/background as his original fight. And as for why they changed the color of Dark Star X to yellow in the remake, my guess is that they probably thought yellow would be a more fitting color for it since it kind of resembles how a Star Sprite looks, and maybe they thought the red color blended into the background a bit.

[@ish1014]

[@kirby5790]

Couple notes on the Excellent!! badge (or as I call it, the Super Excellent badge) - If an attack doesn't get Excellent because it was cut off from the target(s) dying, you don't lose any badge energy (though you don't gain any either). Also, if you do flub an attack, only the bro whose turn it was loses badge energy.

[@Intrinity_37]

Some helpful tips for Bowser X: 1. While he didn't do it, he mentions this in video and it's echoed in the comments a lot. Use the Mighty Meteor in the earlier fights- it does great damage, doesn't cost much SP, and can get you valuable items for the harder, later fights. Try to get as many items and finish the fights before Bowser as soon as possible to maximize the amount of turns you get. 2. If you have trouble dodging Bowser X's attacks- a viable strategy could be to equip Luigi with the Bro Socks (2x Defense while holding a KO'd bro) and the Giant Shell (negates all damage that does

[@queenofglitch]

4:47 I always assumed the Dark Star X being yellow was because the art style no longer has outlines on its sprites and the background is already red.

[@Bobb11881]

Just give it an aura.

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

The amount of times that Mario got one-hit KO-ed even after Emile de-equipped the Daredevil Boots is exactly why I almost never increase POW on level ups on my playthroughs. It's always good to have something to fall back on in case you aren't good at dodging attacks, especially in the Dark Star X and Bowser X fights. Of course, in this case, you also have to take the turn limit into account as well (take it from someone who still hasn't beaten Bowser X yet), so at least some POW oriented equipment would definitely be optimal for the final gauntlet class, but DEF should definitely not be neglected like Emile did for Mario here.

[@righteouself9928]

I feel like making this an universal statement is a bit much. Is ignoring defense bad if you get hit? yeah. But that's not for everyone. I honestly personally enjoy learning a fight until defensive stats are not needed anymore

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

@@righteouself9928 I didn't say that this strategy necessarily was for everyone, I'm just saying that this is my preferred playstyle in the Mario and Luigi games.

[@shadowsa2b]

Once upon a time, Emile had a significant advantage in Mario Party mini games over his fellow Runaway Guys because he developed a button mashing technique known only to himself. It was so good, that Jon even joked that every button mashing challenge was basically a guaranteed win for Emile. Fast forward to now, and Emile's itchy trigger finger repeatedly gets him in trouble on timing challenges. This is his gift. This is his curse.

[@DannyJS1]

I remember fighting Bowser X for the first time. The Shy Guy Squad attack was the bane of my existence and I ran out of 1-Ups during the fight. I was sure he was almost out of HP, but then Mario got ko'd and Luigi had no health left. I decided to risk it all and try hammering with Luigi...and I failed the move, only doing 33 damage. And then he was defeated. An unbelievably lucky win. I don't think I've ever had a Mario and Luigi boss fight that close since.

[@zekromtrainer1222]

​@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle Well he was suprised seeing both Bowser X's unique gimmick and attacks

[@slolstar]

Okay, so! Chuggaaconroy has gotten hit at total of 502 times throughout this entire playthrough! He got hit 392 times on-screen in battles, at least 61 times in off-screen battles, and 49 times in minigames! I can finally rest... I no longer need to count these things anymore, my job is finished... phew... I hope those of you reading this find it uh... entertaining >w< ...I guess I could also share my thoughts on the superbosses. None of the X bosses have any new attacks compared to their original counterparts except for Bowser X as far as I'm aware... which is why I like the Bowser X fight a lot more. With the other X bosses, I think the more rare attacks are just made to occur more frequently and attacks that would normally only be used when the boss is at low health are now instead able to be used always, also some attacks have been adjusted to be more difficult than they are in the original. For example, the Dark Star will always try to hit you after the laser attack. In the original, it waits for about a second before looking at starlow and only then it launches itself. Dark Star X doesn't wait and instead looks up and then immediately launches itself at starlow after the laser ends, practically forcing you to let go right before the laser ends to avoid either bro getting hit. Another example is that Bowser's Shy Guy attack in the original fight doesn't require you to hit bowser as many times as it does in the Bowser X fight. Also that Shy Guy attack only exists in both fights if you rescue the Shy Guys, which is a fun little detail. Also I think the original boss theme works really well for the Dark Star X honestly. Maybe I just love the original boss theme. Also these super bosses are pretty fun but are WAY overleveled compared to anything else you see in the game which is really unfortunate. Bowser X is a really good superboss too. He can be pretty difficult even at level 50, and beating him with the challenge medal is one of the hardest things you could ever do (basically requiring you to play near perfect). 25:45 "When did goombas get so tough?" It's not tough, you just keep jumping with both bros instead of only jumping with the one that needs to jump, so you don't have enough time to actually dodge all the goombas. 34:55 I don't know the frame data on this move, but I think you could be right. I'm not sure if that move is possible to do with only one bro either. I should take this time to mention... in the Bowser X fight, you can get your special attacks back by waiting 5 turns. It's not gone forever. 41:45 Yeah, idk why Chugga thought it was a good idea to hammer with both bros when he mentioned earlier that he wasn't sure if this attack was possible with only one bro. 42:37 like I said earlier after 5 turns you get your special attacks back. This fight is meant to force you to be good at getting excellents on all of your special attacks, not just one attack you practiced or are naturally good at over others. GG!! Not many people have the patience to 100% complete this game, Bowser X is sooooooo beyond overleveled that it's ridiculous.

[@ashelygordon669]

Indeed. Not everyone has the luxury of patience to do 100% completion and wouldn’t be a bad idea to invest some defense or reflect of what Emile could’ve done better because sure Mario is more offensive and offensive builds can work, they do have their consequences. No offense to those who love offense but it felt painful to see Mario being KO’d via Daredevil boots and I honestly don’t like equipment that involves high risk strategies!!! And entries like Paper Jam and Dream Team get too much hate!!! 🤪🥲

Ironically enough, class 7 of the gauntlet is where I went with the daredevil boots, alongside the master wear for Mario. The extra boost to special attacks WITHOUT the increase in SP cost is a lifesaver.

[@AeonKnigh432]

I doubt the "if Mario reaches it too" text is that remote. You were consistently getting levels on Luigi before Mario earlier in the game because of the Daredevil Boots, so if someone is using it and consistently finishing fights with Mario dead Luigi will have enough extra exp to get the level first.

[@Offline219]

There are also gear that give bonus exp to one bro at a time, so if you gave it to Luigi, you'd probably see the mario text too.
