[TCRF] Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - Unused Enemies and Enemy Behaviours

[@zakwilson2606]

(Again) The reason why there were glitchy enemies from the Choomba is because the Choomba spawns Coalbits which glitch out when fought by the bros when not inhaled.

I don't know why, but Wisdurm shrinking out of existence and then resetting the game is hilarious to me

It's interesting that Bowser can't fight himself, because I can't imagine they'd specifically write code to prevent it from happening as it should never happen in gameplay anyway. I'd theorise that the player Bowser uses the same resources that the enemy Bowser uses and only one of that resource can exist at any one time, hence why it crashes.

[@someonerandom704]

My guess is that there's a race condition happening, where both player bowser and enemy bowser are trying to access the same block of memory/code at once

[@tjmario64]

The naplock vs bros almost looks like the attack was designed with fighting them in mind. The projectiles being blocks seems like it was meant to be a hint you could jump to break them. They could rwally look like generic rocks and it would still look fine against bowser.

[@jolmner912]

In the remake, the bubble is green to, like it was made for Luigi

[@TheTrueCopyUniverse]

That's just one of Naplock's attacks in the original DS game, too. It's meant to be avoided because it causes the Sick effect.

[@EricMcNugget]

So nostalgic. The original upload was one of the first Skawo vids I watched.

[@Camzie99]

Same here, I found Skawo after looking through TCRF (one of my favourite pastimes) and finding this video in the BiS article, from there I kept looking round the channel and I've grown addicted to the videos haha.

[@UnrealSuperSonic04]

I dont know what was the first time I watched Or it was this(original upload) Or was an episode of PP:CS where toads insult mario to death

[@mc_sea]

No wonder this video seemed familiar. I remember I saw it a while back but I wasn't sure if it was on this channel or a different one.

[@apersoniguess_]

yeah this video popped in my recommended and somehow I went from there and just kept watching him

[@IvanFranco120]

I remenbered watching the older (and audio broken) version as a kid. Never thought those enemies wasn't used at all...

[@linus6718]

The Bros-exclusive enemies probably think Bowser is Luigi because he stands in Luigi's spot in battle

[@noob1n8or]

Also he's more green than red.

[@choboy46]

2:40 I am actually bewildered that they considered this to be a counter.

[@Skawo]

Yeah, that's definitely the coolest one.

[@rajkanishu]

they probably programmed them like that on purpose because they were meant to be encounterable by the bros at some point in development, the dark cloud enemy countering itself when hitting Bowser's shell from the back however...

[@carpydiem]

Now that i think about it, it makes sense that mario can dodge the naplocks attacks like that

[@classymarowak7001]

Judging by the unused behavior for some enemies. It's possible a lot of the areas in game had a different geological design that would make it possible for certain "bowser enemies" to be fought by Mario and Luigi before being changed.

[@danklaxranimations4808]

4:28 You really pounded the “B” outta him.

11:37 Even more proof

[@speedymatt1236]

0:01 Is this anything noteworthy?

[@aidencook5524]

In the Bowser vs. Bowsers body enemies section, it reveals an interesting thing about some of the attacks. Some of them are coded to target an actual character, making them work pretty well with bowser. Others just attack where mario and luigi WOULD be, which works fine with mario and luigi, but makes it so attacks like the speedy pep-up straight up misses bowser.

[@linus6718]

[@muffet1536]

Dark fawfull montys CAN be fought with bowser In 1 specific room with a green fawfull bot, these enemies always spawn besides the bot Even when bowser

What I really wish is that bowser could find the guy you get the last star cure from (forgot his name) and he would reveal himself as the one guiding him through the chakroads, and he would allow you to enter the depths of your mind to refight the bosses in stronger forms, THAT would be the way to fight bowser’s EX bosses, and god would it be great if you could

[@dan_the_swag_man6937]

That sounds really cool

[@TutojuegosNabil83]

The enemies that the choomba generates are not invisible if you fight in the tunnel (under cavi cape) where this enemy spawns (you would need to use a code to walk through walls to access with Mario and Luigi). I think that problem of invisible enemies is due to a problem when forcing a choomba to spawn in other place

[@metaloverlord99]

I was gonna ask about the reupload, but the description already answered it, so nevermind. I will say, though, that one small enemy that can be fought by Bowser is the Sneed. Sometimes, when a Flifit fires a Sneed at you, there's a chance that the Sneed will stick around instead of immediately planting itself or running away.

3:15 Trashure can in fact be fought as the bros, yet the dark version (that one in the video) cannot, I thought I should clarify that. Also some small enemies can be fought as bowser when a battle with a bigger enemy includes one, such as a dark fawful-mole spawning in a battle with a regular mechchawful outside the castle

[@kyleyuen245]

The fact that some things work perfectly and others don't makes me think that they were probably coding every overworld enemy to be fought by either bowser or the bros. I assume due to time constraints or feasibility they decided to block off some area's so the bros can't fight some bowser enemies and that bowser instantly beats bros overworld enemies

[@5UPREP1CG4MER]

10:06 bowser exits the kitchen for a bit and misses the target with his punch who is also far away from him.

[@levidesforges-moxon7485]

Regular Mechawfuls can be fought as Mario and Luigi. You can fight Dark Mawful Moles as Bowser. It rarely shows up when you fight a Mechawful and they behave like the small enemies in this video.

Awiibo managed to get all of the Bowser bosses working as Mario & Luigi, as well as Bowser vs. himself. The game either softlocks or crashes when Mario & Luigi try to attack most of the bosses. The game crashes once Starlow tells the player to grab onto her during the Bowser vs. Bowser fight.

The chaboomba's though, that's the definitely the strangest of the pack.
