The level "Kick it, Outmaway" is intended to be played by dodging the ice cubes the whole level, which grants you the Wonder Seed when he runs out of things to kick. Playing it that way is more fun than just killing him outright.

[@V1G4M1]

Liteally! I never even thought about killing it tbh xD

[@ruskii_is_off]

I just melted the blocks instead of killing him or avoiding the blocks!

[@SomeRobIoxDude]

I never knew you could kill the Outmaway

[@Mr.Q_Dude]

9:08 The reason it stops the autoscrolling is because it's dousing the flames that moce the ship and block your path. You're essentially braking the airship.

[@moritzlinden7169]

That would imply that the level autoscrolls because the airship moves. But why would it? You are on the airship, so the relative speed stays the same. And other autoscroll levels don't move at all. Why is autoscrolling linked to movement only here and nowhere else?

[@Mr.Q_Dude]

@moritzlinden7169 Your relative speed as the character does stay the same. But the camera isn't on the airship. It could be an SM64 system where the camera is secretly controlled by Lakitu. He's sitting still in his cloud with his camera as the airship passes by him.

[@geanmichaelzipagansanjuan1090]

So according to @@Mr.Q_Dude the reason the game stops scrolling is because lakitu is too lazy to move his cloud

Honestly I'm glad they put checkpoints in the final test badge marathon. Ive always found challenges built around having to redo the same section constantly just to get back to where you were tedious.

[@Danbo22987]

Perhaps a "No checkpoint" badge could've been a compromise

[@manime3079]

​@@Danbo22987But then you wouldn't be able to use it in the level due to it auto setting your badges throughout

[@donutmaxgaming9674]

Maybe like a pipe where it removes the checkpoints, and beating it gives you a secret medal

[@19Szabolcs91]

I think SMG2 did it best where you have two versions of the same level, one where you can actually practice, and another where you have to do it without checkpoints. It really sucks when you have to redo everything just to get one try at a new hard part.

[@lucrayzor9657]

This is an extremely common misconception I’ve seen about the disappearing blocks in the raarghs level… it’s not that they appear when you’re close to them, but rather they appear when you’re LOOKING at them. The info blurb on the loading screen says so right before you enter the level To clarify though, it IS partially proximity based. Your vision only stretches a certain distance, and coming into direct contact will make them solid regardless of where you’re looking

[@timothyboland1048]

oh my goodness i never knew, definitely thought it was proximity based

[@jordanpatton3622]

Yeah when I was playing the game I noticed that they only appeared when you were looking at them. It was such an interesting and creative object 😊

[@steverman2312]

16:10 a small detail im surprised you didnt mention is that the flowers' personalities change based on which color is active. red is more welcoming and blue is more snarky

the search party levels are actually quite fun when you're playing them online, which I believe was the intended way to play them.

[@V1G4M1]

They‘re also fun when playing solo, I had a blast figuring out the more obscure coins for 3/4 of those. He honestly just sounds kinda butthurt about it to me ^^‘

[@Eowyn126]

Agreed! But I do think it’s fair to rank them under the criteria of doing them alone, since online play is locked behind a paywall for the switch. It really annoys me that I spent $60 on this game, then to unlock a part of it, I also have to be paying for switch online. IMO if you own a switch, you should be able to connect to Wi-Fi, like how the 3ds did it. It’s crazy that I have to subscribe to something to connect to the Wi-Fi I pay for on a device I paid for

[@jclkaytwo]

@@Eowyn126 I agree that switch online is stupid, but nathaniel has switch online so I don't see why he should rank them using your criteria. that's a you problem, not a him problem. what probably happened was that the idea of using online for those levels didn't cross his mind at all, so he went into them solo.

[@Eowyn126]

@@jclkaytwo I wasn’t saying he should rank them however I wanted him to, I was saying that it would make sense if he did avoid online on purpose. But yeah he may also have forgotten 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love the fact that Nathaniel already loves Mario Games, so when he's giving his opinion on some matter in the game, he's not trying to analyze it in some impartial, distant, "journalistic" way, he just says what's fun and what's not, like with the wonder effect of the dragon. It's just great because it looks and plays in a fun way, you don't have to overanalyze it

Edit: I agree that the KO Arenas and Wiggler Race stages generally do a better job at that, but the other types I listed earlier still do that job pretty good.

[@coralmaynard4876]

Yeah, I honestly feel like the ranking was kind of unfair in that regard. Yes, it's fun to blast through 1-1, but realistically, levels like the Jet Run Challenge and the Wall Climb 2 are more challenging and exhilarating! I mean, who DIDN'T want to throw their controller against the wall trying the last section of Wall Climb 2, then celebrate once they finally cleared it? Even getting to THAT point was no cakewalk!

It's amazing how much you can tell about a player from how much they like levels. For example you can tell Nathaniel is a lot better at the game than the target demographic of literal children and finds it too easy, he doesn't know the meaning of "short and sweet" or "break time", and he didn't play with online mode for any of the search levels. Please just enjoy the experience instead of focusing on winning

[@pepsiman7033]

i agree with you on how its his fault for not enjoying the search levels, but to be honest the majority of the break levels were just boring

[@nachogeez42]

1. Winning is the point of the game. 2. You can’t enjoy the experience if it’s too boring for you. 3. I’m sorry you couldn’t make it past World 1, but many people playing the game ARE good and are not in the wrong for wanting a challenge. Why would the special world exist if not for those players?
