Can you beat Super Mario RPG with ONLY MARIO? (Remake)

[@tantacles]

It's tanta with an a not tenta with an e cause tanta with an a goes klees not culls

[@Galaxyhoppah]

Listen, that first frog coin I didn't even know where the heck it was in the og.

[@SolusEmsu]

My first run of Switch Mario RPG is currently entering the Volcano, and I have made it a point to use Mallow and Geno because gotta fill the monster list, and Geno. Mallow + Work Pants + Speed accessory (Zoom Shoes into Troopa Pin) is just so bonkers effective. Mallow has legit been my most powerful character in this run, and I love it. ♥ Also, every time I learn something new about the Tantacles Cinematic Universe (this time, the vegetarian thing) is always amusing.

[@troymartin4260]

In the remake, you can grab the first hidden treasure chest at any time because they put a toad walking near the door now

[@tinkerer3399]

Oh thank goodness. That treasure chest has haunted so many people's dreams.

[@apollolux]

No, it’s because they changed the physics from jumping off of the existing post-Marrymore hallway Toads.

[@mistahl5350]

It's that they removed an invisible wall that blocked it in the original

[@apollolux]

@@mistahl5350 So it was confirmed to be an invisible wall blocking the original after the Mack scenario? I remember that was one of the top theories but I never went into an editor like Lazy Shell to confirm it myself.

[@mistahl5350]

@@apollolux I'm not 100% certain that it is, but it makes sense when you could get close enough with the toads roaming the hallway in the original and still get blocked. A few 'Differences Between Remake and Original' videos point it out as an invisible wall, so that's what I'm going off of.

[@ArmorOfBartuc]

This may have just been a coincidence, but I noticed for the ants that when I was going through, if I came up from behind them, they would skip the fight.

You had me at Molé-ville. 🤣 Also now I'm hungry for Mexican food.

Never been on this channel before, I got pretty confused when he kept saying "the squids tantacles" and then I had the moment.

[@skyl13]

You can skip fighting the ants - you just need to walk up to them and when they make that whooshing sound of emerging, angle your joystick to run away from them. They’ll jump back in the whirlpool and you can then just quickly follow before they pop up in the other whirlpools or the same whirlpool

[@BradleyNoble-gw3fs]

Believe it or not but Exor was pretty much the bane of my existence for much of my late childhood and spawned many many nightmares and restless nights due to how scary and difficult he was when I first fought him. Sure I took me many more years to get used to the timed hits in this game but.. come on bear with me. This boss was even harder than Smithy himself! So... I think Exor deserves a spot high up on my list of the scariest video game bosses of all time.

[@MaxsMarioMania]

Dude you should totally do some challenges for other mario rpgs as well, like M&L superstar saga or paper mario

[@mpmmuirhead]

To avoid the ants you let the ant pop out of the vortex and it will do two little hops and go back underground. If your timing is good you can follow it underground without fighting it and get to monstro town

[@SarahPlaysVideoGames]

Are you going to be doing the boss rematches with only Mario as well?

[@GhostOfRazgiz]

Not possible. They're all gimmick fights that generally require all 3 party members.

[@tantacles]

Watch me

[@GhostOfRazgiz]

I will, and I hope you prove me wrong.@@tantacles

[@SarahPlaysVideoGames]

@@GhostOfRazgiz Well, if nothing else, we do know Johnny Jones can be done with only Mario... you know, because he specifically challenges Mario to a 1-on-1 duel.

[@Gamerman-lu9bs]

Who would win? Croco or barny

[@KirbyGamerEX27]

13:05 wait why can't you super jump in phase 1 to be specific?

[@XainArchives]

Anyway, I can help you out on the second form smithy. Essentially the head has 9999 HP, and he shifts between 3 forms. The thing to note however, is each form only has 3333 HP, and after it reaches that threshold, he will never use that form again, which is why you kept getting mage form, as that's the one you did the least amount of damage to.

[@costby1105]

Correction at 15:54, Bless your heart ArtePiazza.

[@cemeek89]

5:31 sorry, but I have yet to play the game. But ‘moley’? Is it not just mole?

[@tantacles]

Just go with it. I make not serious video

[@Kami7YT]

Thanks for the entartaining content as always 😁 Loved seeing the cat 😍

[@PhantomAarantula]

I'd say this run was fire, but jumps are better. So Tantacles, your videos got mad hops!

[@xxProjectJxx]

I'm going to say, probably yes with little difficulty

[@war1011]

Hear me out. But as you know original smrpg Geno was the lowest about 18 right and Mario was bit over 20 and now he was able to beat it at level 15 in this so. So how much is different for Geno specifically would he be able to beat it at level 10 or something?

[@mistahl5350]

That Mage Head luck... I've had plenty of final fights where he just loves the invincible form. Back in the original and before i knew how to get more elemental bombs lol

[@XainArchives]

Each head form has a damage threshold of 3333 HP, once they hit that, he will never switch to that form again.

[@ClassicBentobox]

I would say that partners being targetable doesn’t necessarily make it “Mario only”. You’d have to have your partners dead so they aren’t targets of attacks. Not sure if it’s even possible that way but it’s worth distinguishing

[@tantacles]

“Artistic license”

[@SuperNickid]

@Tantacles: His it posible to only beat it with mario, the answer is no because you already broken the rules. I'm not talking about the one that force you to do a tripple attack, you still attack with Bowser and Geno and that was obviously not force to do so. So your test become invalid. Unless somehow the top part of the cake only gets defeated if all member attack at least once, but I really thought they program it that way.

[@tantacles]

I did not break the rules. The cake fight is clearly noted as an exception in the rules in the description.

[@lens_hunter]

I wonder why some of the bosses got their names changed.

[@mistahl5350]

Mack was an obscure reference even to the original's time (similar to why the Bruce Lee comment got cut, I'm pretty sure). Spearovich is a pretty good translation of Yaridovich (yari is spear in Japanese, but it'll make more sense to western audiences).

[@Allthingsmisspriceless]

Did you forget miitopia on switch

[@ryangibson8727]

Don't. Buy. A. Boat.

[@calemr]

OK, Why do these videos always tell people not to buy boats? Like, I know buying a boat is usually a bad idea, but its a very specific piece of advice to recur. If someone tells me "Dont bite bricks by the way." Frequently, I assume they or someone they know bit a brick.

[@tantacles]

So… it sounds like you bought a boat. I’m really sorry I wasn’t there for you in your time of need.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

What do you mean, that Mario's special attacks are getting stronger? Do they power up as you use them?

[@tantacles]

Yes! Mario's regular degular jump attack gains extra power every time you use it.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

@@tantacles Damn! I just googled it and it's in the original too. Lmfao how did I not ever figure that out

from what i remember you can set a lot of stats in the files... if youre going to do this with the other characters, I can try to get you a mod that makes the 4 characters you arent going to use have 1 hp (if you want it).
