Is it Possible to Beat Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time's Bosses Without Dodging?

After I uploaded the M&L: Supertar Saga "no dodging" video, many requested I do the challenge with another game in the series, so here it is! Is it possible to beat Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time without dodging or blocking/countering any attacks at all?

I've played this game for a long time and dodging was probably the most important thing except for attacking or healing. I just bumped into this video and thought that it would be someone proposing this challenge to his subs. Even though he tried to do it, he though it was too hard and it would lead to nowhere. But that is my way of thinking. In the end you did such an amazing thing that I'm so glad that I've casually bumped into your video. I'm not able to express how amazed I am right now. Hope that you keep doing this stuff and being such incredible as this video shows you are. Congratulations for your incredibly awesome achievement!!!

There’s literally no way you can beat Partners in Time without dodging unless you spend CRIPPLINGLY LONG amounts of time grinding to the highest level you can, and even THEN, it’s still pretty much impossible. There’s a reason they let you choose how and when you dodge. Edit: Lmfao, swiggler WITHOUT this challenge is hard enough. I never beat him, meaning, sadly, I never finished the game ;;

[@Royalomg]

Kevin Ng Paper Jam is impossible as well. As far as I know in the end you have to fight Morton, Iggy and Ludwig. The only way to defeat them is to counterattack to make them dizzy and then that’s when you are able to attack them

[@Royalomg]

Plus I’m pretty sure if you fail to counterattack you die instantly

[@nicholasali3566]

Kevin Ng actually, I think BiS fails earlier. Giant battles are tricky to figure out, and because of the limited healing items Tower of Yikk may be impossible. If he isn’t, I think Fawful express is. Those stone arches need to be punched down in a counterattack, otherwise the express nukes you until you die.

lets just say after you get crushed e.gad grabs the poltergust and captures elder shroob here is some advice for dream team. before a boss fight with big massif there is a boss that does not give you a chance to attack but you can damage it with surprise boxes. giant battles may be impossible so I think those would be an exception considering it literally changes the game-play and some attacks wont stop until you counter or die.

Makes you wonder if Nintendo ever remade Partners in Time, would they have nerfed the enemies and bosses HP? Because they had way too much of it in this game which makes me wonder if that's why they skipped past remaking it?

[@finalsurvivor1]

The funny part about this comment? They already did. After the initial release in NA, Nintendo and/or Alpha Dream realized how horrendously balanced the bosses were and fixed them for the other regions, typically by lowering HP and raising POW. In particular, the final bosses' HP were lowered from 3000-3500-3000 to 1700-1800-2000, though the Elder Princess Shroob's arms and feet actually got more HP instead. Some enemies also got changes, though not nearly to the extent as the bosses.

@@finalsurvivor1 What they said. Both the Japanese and European versions of the game are much better balanced. (Plus, they include a nice song after the credits).

@@finalsurvivor1 There was a share of other fixes as well. Things cost less, some attacks did more damage and some did less, and bizarrely enough, some glitches were patched out that nobody would realistically have encountered in the first place.

@@finalsurvivor1 Hmm, I still had the old version, and it wasn't that hard. It usually took way longer to find what I had to do/complete it. I was done with the game in 18 hours. (17:58 for the story and about 5 minutes for the Shrowser fight) so was the balance really that bad?

[@finalsurvivor1]

@@rryumi It wasn't that hard per se, save for maybe the final bosses since you had to do all of it save Shrowser in one go. The bosses just tended to drag on because of how much HP they had combined with gimmicks that usually made the fights longer, with Commander Shroob, Princess Shroob, and EPS's second form being the main offenders.

[@lordfawful9469]

The Superstar Saga video came out after the remake did.

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

You forgot to count the Shroobs in Hollijolli Village (the first true bosses of the game). And the answer is, yes, you can get past them without dodging since their ray guns only deal 1 HP of damage each.

[@Mysticshade59]

I found shrowser more like a minigame than anything, the main reason is because is too easy and I feel it really unnecessary, filler more than anything. Gonna admit the idea was real nice and I wish there were bosses like that but you know with actual difficulty (hadn´t played dream team or Paper jam so idk if there´s bosses like that)

[@miwestraveler3986]

One boss in Dream Team is counter only, and at one point in Paper Jam all your action blocks get stolen, leaving you with only counters and first strikes until you get a block back.

[@teamplayz6354]

I dont get why the final boss is easier than bosses before it.

[@recksroller2220]

When I fought the Elder Princess Shroob for the first time, conveniently, Baby Luigi was the one to finish her off, as he was the last one left and had no one-ups.

[@DahHourglass]

Quite fitting

[@flameonoodle1172]

I know the premise of Kirby 3, but i've never played it. If I did I would probably have context, but since I don't. What the hell is that hamster doing to Kirby in your pfp?!

Just like classic RPG just keep grinding until you get strong and that's what brings the challenge

I love that you know that it's impossible and you still do it.

Shyguymask: You can beat Partners in Time without dodging Bowser: *Sike, you thought*

[@DuoFaceGaming]

After rewatching the Elder Princess Shroob 2nd Phase boss here (I won't spoil the outcome) I just noticed that her boss theme doesn't seem like a properly epic song for a crazy difficult boss, the theme really gives off a vibe of Hopelessness and Consequence. This fight will be what determines the fate of the Kingdom, and the general vibe just feels hopeless. I know this isn't too big of a revelation, but the song even has some quiet, sad sounding parts. It almost makes the player feel dread, and lots of it!

Better known as the best game in the series

Not really, it's good but BIS and SS are better

Shy:I DID IT! Shrowser:Hold my beer

[@pumpkincat8336]

SS: Possible PIT: Impossible (Shrowser) BIS: Impossible (Dark Star) DT: Impossible (Thunder Sass) PJ: Impossible (Morton, Lenmmy and Iggy) SSRemake: Impossible (Ludwig) BISRemake: Impossible (Dark Star) Superstar Saga (Not Remake) is the easiest M&L game because it is the only game you can beat without dodging.

[@rryumi]

This was an awesome game. Loved every minute of it.

[@awesomespurr3606]

If offence is the best defense, does that mean you can't attack since attacking would be considered a good DEFENSE and you can't block in ANY way?

[@trickstertwister612]

In my opinion, shrowser counts. I mean the goal of the challenge is to defeat the BOSSES without blocking or dodging. And shrowser IS a boss so.. Sorry.

[@Aeko420]

Is this a joke? Read the beginning

Shrowser is a slap in the face comfirmed!

[@gengarzilla1685]

It's not just a boss, it's an unskippable boss that you must beat to see the end credits. Shrowser 1,000% counts.

WOAH, I didn't know I was watching a cinema sins production!

I'm actually doing a very similarly difficult challenge: The Mario & Luigi series with minimum kills. It. Is. HELL.

The guy who made the showser fight: Yeah i know there is a lot of crazy peoole who maybe complete the game without blocking, lets just make that you cant attack and only block cuz why not.
