How I Beat Kirby Super Star Ultra Without Jumping [CHALLENGE FINALE]

[@Average_K]

I remember how painstakingly difficult it was beating Helper to Hero with every character as a kid and how disappointing it was to discover that it had absolutely no bearing on completion percent.

[@Neop0litan]

But you get a nice medal lmao!

[@Average_K]

@@Neop0litan it is a mighty fine medal haha

[@SampleChample]

Exactly the same for me. I had 2% left to do and I thought it was Helper to Hero. Turns out I just missed the buttons in Dyna Blade like an absoulte bozo.

[@aipompous9500]

You unlock the intro videos from SNES Super Star for doing them all so there's at least a tangible reward

[@Average_K]

@@SampleChample lmao my last bit for 100% was some rando power in Milky Way Wishes. I wonder if there’s some crazy challenge run to be had in H to H. An every character TAS would be cool simply because Stone and Hammer see so much more time in boss rushes compared to cringe powers like SwOrD. It would be dope to see every power’s DPS pushed to their limit.

[@Saltience]

Something to note about the whole "That's the last we see fighter in great cave offensive": Great cave offensive is a perfect loop, and allows you to loop through it as many times as you want, meaning any ability is infinitely obtainable since you can just go back to the start and go through it all again. I know this because as a kid I never actually got the warp star and just kept looping through great cave offensive forever.

[@aurastrike]

If you can't get through the entire loop without jumping there isn't a point

[@dorktriogamer2865]

​@@aurastrikehe obviously can, the problem is collecting the treasures as well, the commenter is talking about a theoretical strat to get through any chest that takes fighter away, forgo worrying about chests to beat and loop to get fighter again, however this would be way more tedious so it obviously wasn't pursued in the video or necessary

[@ConquerorsHouse]

Just wanted to use this early opportunity to tell you something. You currently are the author of my favorite go-to comfort video, your commentated Superstar Ultra TAS. I fall asleep to it quite often and I’ve watched it a dozen times, it’s one of the most interesting, well done, and nostalgic videos I’ve seen :)

[@Legoluigi26]

After watching jumpless for so long, those small clips of jumping in the TAS felt like blasphemy.

The fact that you can only use Meta Knight's abilities in save rooms in the Japanese version makes me wonder if they found a glitch involving using abilities in save rooms & they disabled 'em instead of fixing the glitch. Or maybe they just did it so people wouldn't accidentally spend points when picking up putting down their DS.

[@SampleChample]

ooo I thought about that too but I seriously can’t think of what sorta problems it would really cause. My best guess is that it might cause problems if you use an ability at the same time you step on the save button but I didn’t end up testing it.

[@Wizzkidwas]

[@bigsammichthoughts]

I did a no jump 100% challenge in Kirby Squeak Squad, and the chest that defeated me was the one wheel level in Secret Sea. Literally every other chest in the whole game can be gotten without jumping except that one. It hurts real bad. If I were a tas master like you maybe I could figure something out.

I am so excited for the squeak squad TAS! You're an excellent commentator and show off your TAS skills very well

[@thankfulguardian9033]

10/10 IGN, you’ve shined a completely new light onto this game that no one else could.

[@potentialPizza8]

You have absolutely become one of my favorite youtubers. It's not that it's about games I love and interesting challenges/routing/tricks, but that damn, you've got the editing, flow, and general entertainment value REALLY down. Can't wait for more. Any chance you'll do any challenges for Amazing Mirror?

[@SampleChample]

ayo thanks for all the kind words! As for Amazing Mirror, I’d definitely be down but some games are harder to find good challenges for than others. I don’t know how interesting jumpless would be in that game for example since you could just keep the best ability for the entire game once you find it.

[@mr.sniffly5297]

@@SampleChample CMeeCraft Gaming already tried it. He used one jump in the tutorial. But Amazing Mirror would be interesting since you have a bajillion different routes you could take

[@potentialPizza8]

Yeah that's what I really want to see. Jumpless may have already been done, but there's gotta be something cool that lets you take advantage of all the different ways you can route Amazing Mirror. I wonder if any Kirby game would be good for a no walking challenge.

All of the different tech you’ve showcased in these videos have made really made me want to try more Kirby games for myself!

[@syrelian]

This level of tech variety largely doesn't exist in the GBA era games, since outside of the Smash ability, most GB/GBA Copy Abilities are one, maybe two tricks, like Fire as you see it in Superstar is split into Fire which has the Fire Breath, and Burning, which has the fireball dash attack In addition to the original SNES Superstar, this level of ability largely only exists in the DS games onward Definitely check out the GBA games anyway, just don't expect as much options, Amazing Mirror is an amazing and unique game for the series

[@jarpout]

my DUDE you spent so much time on this i must applaud you. this sounds incredible difficult! amazing job friend

[@gebis8515]

Couldn’t you have beaten the “sleep room” by using multiplayer and using the helper to clear out all the copy essences in front of Kirby while he follows behind? Granted, I suppose it’s better to beat the thing in singleplayer only

[@SampleChample]

ooo yeah that definitely should work. I was pretty sure multiplayer was mostly useless in this challenge but that’s absolutely a potential application.

[@daltonbecker4494]

I've got a good challenge: Can you beat Kirby Super Star Ultra using only Copy? Rules are that if you want to use an ability you have to use Copy to get it first, if you lose that power then you have to get Copy first before you get another one. You also aren't allowed to use the ability pedestals, even in Milky Way Wishes (The sole exception being to get Copy itself). Mixing is banned in this challenge as well.

[@HollyBunnySilly]

Hey, I just wanna say before my melatonin kicks in and I become a rambling incoherent mess, that I loved this series. The insane walls that seemed insurmountable, only to be destroyed by an absurd strategy. The desperation to find a new strat that would somehow save the run. The nutty levels of planning that went into each move. And the cruel reality setting in that it truly couldn't be done jumpless, only to be replaced by a newfound determination to keep the count as low possible all combined together to make an incredible challenge run. Am I getting a bit too overdramatic about a Kirby challenge run? Yeah, but I just really love it. So, thanks for making the TAS that introduced me to you, and for making this wonderful series. (btw mirror is a goated ability and you cannot convince me otherwise why did they shaft it again in star allies????)

I've watched all 3 parts and I've got to say, this 3 part series is awesome! Also I didn't know you could just get that Great Cave Offensive Treasure where you press the button and run to that door (Chest 34)! I could never get there in time to enter the door and guides told me I needed another player to enter in time, and I didn't have anyone that I could help with and it was the only treasure I couldn't get! Now I can finally 100% Kirby Super Star Ultra! (Once I find the game again, that is)
