The 1 Month Journey to Beat Nintendo's HARDEST Game

In this video, I attempted to complete a challenge that I call the New Super Luigi U Nuzlocke. In this challenge, I only have 3 lives to beat the ENTIRE game of New Super Luigi U. Can I even do it? Is this challenge possible at all? Probably not, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to give it the old raysfire try.

this video was worked on for over 4 months and almost didn't get finished at all, so if you liked it and aren't already, i'd appreciate a sub 💙

Yo the editing on this was so good, I love the way you explained how the nuzlocke worked

[@Brixster]

I love how Ray personifies his gameplay in a way where Luigi, Toad, and Toadette accomplished it together as a team-how wholesome 😊 By the way, Ray, I'd love to hear your perspective on the SMB movie, considering you're basically a dedicated fanatic. If you saw the movie, I'm curious how many references you saw and enjoyed regardless of what you think of the movie.

[@jedredder7820]

A different idea would be to, instead essentially just giving yourself only three lives, make it a power-up nuzlocke. You can only equip every power up once in the whole run, if you lose it it’s gone. This probably wouldn’t include the mushroom and 1-up, but could include baby yoshis.

this is why I am subbed to you, when you are challenged by something that seems impossible but if there is a way to complete it you always continue, the fact that you dont wimp out of a challenge, and how you finish what you started B], what a guy

9:38 gotta be careful litterally 2 seconds later *dies to a very easy to dodge boo*

[@elijahmeilak2906]

Great video, but I've got some feedback. When you said that you were going to do a Mario nuzlocke, I got really excited, but was kinda disappointed when I realised that the challenge essentially boiled down to "can I beat the game with only three lives?" As all the characters play pretty much exactly the same way, the whole concept of switching characters every time you die is really just a cosmetic thing. So, I think it'd be more interesting if the nuzlocke revolved around power-ups. Get a fire flower, lose it - you can't use another fire flower for the rest of the run. It's interesting because you'd have to strategise about when it would be best to get a power-up, and you'd have to be extra careful about not losing it. Just an idea!

[@realdogking]

I never got the actual NSMBU. I only had Luigi U. I… couldn’t beat it legitimately and ended up just using Nabbit.

[@HarryMario_]

raysfire: next to no new super luigi u challenge runs exist literally me:

[@Souless_mario]

Now try doing this with no powerups beside mushrooms and do starworld aswell.

[@BensBullFrog]

Not dogging on you or anything, but I feel like this obsession with spins and ground pound cancels caused a lotta deaths
