Super Mario RPG dodo statue minigame

[@powerONdelta]

I love how dodo casually breaks the laws of physics and goes out of bounds at the end

[@supergeno128ds]

Definitely one of my favorite moments of the game. The way the music lined up with Dodo's movements and confusion... just perfect! Kinda wished the player hadn't moved when he shouldn't have (I can forgive the fakeout though.)

[@orelas167]

I jumped in front of him my first time through. It was awesome.

[@Podcastperronesixtlenses]

Gaslighting from Mario to Dodo.

[@JackLiberty0]

This was the funniest part of the whole game, this is comedy gold.

[@ownerofbathingape]

I see what you did there

[@loganmansiongames]

"Gold" good one!

[@bsgambati1]

24 karat gold?

[@netherfreakultima4498]

Lol Literally

[@EmikaYamane7521]

Get it guys!? BECAUSE MARIO IS LITERALLY GOLD RIGHT NOW!? SO GODDAMN FUNNY WOW

[@MrBigTAnderson]

One of the rhythm based minigames in this rpg that I did not completely blow at. Although did anyone just think of dodo as a big chicken literally? That was my first idea of him when he came out and then trying to be mallow all I could think playing this for the first time "that wasn't very nice, calling mallow a chicken."

[@corjonbett]

He's a puffin

[@Garl_Vinland]

I thought he was a Dodo bird...

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

He looks a lot like a crow in my eyes. Just like Raphael Raven.

[@JC-tg1gf]

My mother was not exceptionally bright..and yet she conveyed to me that the dodo bird had in fact been hunted to extinction..which was made possible by the fact the "Dodo's" were exceptionally complacent and passive which made them easy prey for the first humans to inhabit the islands they were indigenous to.

[@zennvirus7980]

Design and musical perfection married together for one hell of a funny experience. Fail or pass, but especially if you pass, you are entreated to statue-perfect comedy gold.

[@El_Penguino.Roblox]

0:28 dodo don't look at me like that

[@JeremyB381]

Can't wait to see how this looks in the remake.

[@papyrussemi2848]

Basically the same except the new aspect ratio means you can see Dodo run the entire length of the room out-of-bounds.

[@Runescythe9852]

@@papyrussemi2848 The one thing some people criticize about it is that the helmet doesn't go over Dodo's eyes when pecking at the statues. Which kinda makes sense when you consider that Dodo feels more of the statues when pecking than actually seeing them.

[@Rediscool9]

@@Runescythe9852 I’m confused. What exactly is the problem here?

[@arcticbear4083]

@@Rediscool9What he’s referring to is that in this version, the helmet covers the dodo’s eyes when pecking where Mario is, meaning he didn’t even see that he was pecking at nothing. In the remake, his eyes remain uncovered when doing this, which is probably just something Nintendo didn’t notice.

[@arcticbear4083]

@@Rediscool9(Which is really the only reason how the dodo is fooled by Mario)

[@VicJang]

One of the many, many highlights of this legendary game. Mario RPG is one of a kind.

[@Beigemage0621]

Now that there is a remake, I truly hope out of all the moments in the game important to us all this is the one they get right. 😅😅

[@Max1996YT]

Seems mostly correct, except for the detail that actually makes the whole thing work: Dodo's helmet briefly covering his eyes only in the original.

[@rickylucas6503]

just played this sequence this morning. just as hilarious as before.

[@Rediscool9]

@@Max1996YT What’s the problem here exactly?

[@Max1996YT]

@@Rediscool9 Only reason Dodo couldn't see Mario jump was that his helmet briefly covered his eyes when he leans forward to peck the statue. A detail that the remake doesn't have.

[@Rediscool9]

@@Max1996YT I mean Mario can still jump right in front of Dodo when he doesn’t have his helmet blocking his eyesight in the original and he doesn’t react as well so it honestly doesn’t make sense either way.

[@Shadowwand]

It's also funny to fail by jumping a lot in front of him, he complains to Valentina that the statue is moving. Much like Chef Torte, she doesn't believe it

[@JoeBee9]

I love this mini-game; especially the music.

[@Not_Maës-Gaming]

The fact that Nintendo forgot to remake the animation of Dodo's helmet covering his eyes, making the scene impossible 💀

[@rjante2236]

Now we just assume that Dodo is really, really stupid.

[@wolf-16_Adept]

I love how the music stops every time mario jumps.

[@spongyoshi]

This is such an great rhythm game! It's like Rhythm Paradise level of quality!

[@highgonejhin666]

These games felt so much richer when the graphics weren't like today..they had to do more with less which gave the art a unique feel and they had to lean more on good story telling, game play and creativity..miss these days

[@joshualam9746]

I don't know about that, just watched the new version and it seems quite as nice, might be nostalgia goggles.

Pfft, I hear laughter when Mario entered the next room meaning whomever is their boss is (IDK Mario RPG lore nor gameplay) they're laughing up a storm in the background. I mean just think one boring day your doing your thing then your co-worker comes up to you & says: "dude, this statue is moving!" nobody including you is gonna believe him until you see it for yourself.

[@DiavoloandDoppio]

I don't know if you have played Mario RPG yet, but that laughter is the BGM

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

His "tf?" Look after Mario jumps the first time.

[@ReloGP14th]

i love that from 0:03 to 1:49 we got some Comedic Waltz piece and then when we enter the door 1:58 Yoko goes full Baroque like Bach lol

[@Fungal_yi]

Fun fact: in the snes version dodos helmet covers his eyes when he polishes the statue so thats why he doesnt notice mario jumping, but in the remake they removed this feature

[@alaeriia01]

He isn't polishing them. He's pecking them because he's in a bad mood.

[@JC-tg1gf]

@@alaeriia01 my feeble young mind also interpreted it this way - though I left room for doubt that it was just cheap animation conveying the action of "polishing"

[@semihyesilcennet156]

how panicked I was at this scene when I was a child

[@usov656]

This was the funniest thing in the whole game and I loaded multiple times just to take part in it again.

[@JC-tg1gf]

I once argued on social media this was the most humorous sequence in any game ever..let alone mario rpg..and i am a harsh critique mind you!!!!!

[@LuckyDucky114]

[@deuceydee3506]

Wait, so, if you manage to get through the whole thing, you get to skip the Dodo battle?

[@Unclevertitle]

+Deucey Dee Yep.

[@darkdill]

It's better if you skip it, as you get the Feather, which gives +20 speed. Very handy.

[@MarioSonic46]

Deucey Dee I didn't know there was a battle if you messed up lol

[@sysvjbjr]

yep, not that Dodo is really a remotely hard boss except the one unskippable fight when Dodo takes the middle character away for a one on one battle.

[@GSonic313]

Vince Barry I recommended having the Middle Character as Bowser

dosent he still notice you if you like jump to avoid his peck

[@DisplayThisOkay]

If your timing is way off he does. Watching this video made me realize the timing isn't that tight but as a kid I remember having him go in and complain to Valentina even though I never got hit.

[@bob1986]

If you look close his helmet falls over his eyes mid peck which is the moment you need to jump. Presumably he doesn't see Mario jump but does notice he didn't seem to hit anything, which is why he gets confused.

[@felixmcnuggets]
