Unlocking Luigi: The Nostalgia of Super Mario Galaxy

The Nostalgia of Super Mario Galaxy is undeniably a very unique and almost sad feeling to a lot of people, myself included!
Today, I wanted to make a quick Super Mario Galaxy retrospective where I chronicle one of my most cherished childhood moments and fondest memories...
This is the story of my quest to unlock Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy, the first game I ever finished 100%

[@oozqwerc]

[@AdrielDoesGaming]

Awesome video! This takes me back to when I grew up playing Super Mario Galaxy as a kid

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Galaxy will always have such a special place in my heart💕

[@bandlabman462]

100 days mapping mario's world, this is my second vid,IM SUBBED NOW!! I LOVE UR CONTENT

[@animal245533]

This motivated me to clean my apartment after a long work week for some reason. Great job!

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Ayeee we take those!!

[@Yahir0427]

i really thought you had thousands of subs, this video really is good. I’m glad the youtube algorithm brought me here

[@CharlieAndLuke]

That’s so kind of you to say!!! Thank you so much for watching(:

[@awcolorcat]

This is EXACTLY what 100% mario galaxy is like. You basically said everything i felt when i 100%ed this game as an adult. I can't imagine what it was like for child you. The Bone pen, Luigi's purple coins, and the garbage dump were so brutal and for what. Also as a kid I would sleep with the instruction manual under my pillow. That's how I knew about all the jumps, hahaha!

[@BertaGil-j7g]

Dreadnought galaxy in my most recent playthrough was the one that drove me insane. I didn't remember it being so hard back when I was a kid (I was wayy more traumatised by Bouldergeist's and Kamela's daredevil runs). But now... DAMN. Those bombs and especially those purple coins made me question my sanity!

[@dylbeep]

Great vid, super glad this showed up in my recommended. Unlocking Luigi for the first time was such a cool feeling and this vid captured that well.

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Thank you!!! It was a truly magical experience seeing that message pop up!

[@macedawgy]

The star I saved for last was the Bouldergeist Daredevil Run. Broke two of my controllers over that, but, eventually, like you, I prevailed.

[@nesradub360]

For me the star that was the biggest pain in my backside wa Snow Cap Galaxy.

[@BmanXY]

I had a pretty easy time with Luigi’s purple coins

[@liltoad9050]

gusty garden galaxy purple coins is the one star that kept me away from luigi. i can safely say i can play as luigi

[@swizzamane8775]

Imagine how much easier this task wouldve been, if you just paid attention in Maths class 😂

[@JustAPaperface]

9:47 the last level i beat, i came back to it multiple times, it was my final boss

[@blazyart6183]

This video is just a constant handshake

[@cheechunlimited]

I'd love to see this get the attention it deserves

[@CharlieAndLuke]

That means a lot!! Thank you!(:

[@TheFangirlOtaku]

"When was the first time you felt true determination?" When I played Undertale of course lol

[@Kai_075]

And then you can do all of that again as luigi lol

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Now with 100% more GREEN!

[@----x-----]

But dude your journey isn't over, you have to 120 star the game as Luigi too

[@tf2godz]

Got to do the bomb mission four times

[@N3Selina]

Loogi is top tier~

[@curdleddrip]

very good video, great comedy and great story

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Ayeeee thank you for the kind words!!

[@mysticthi3f924]

Did you then go and do it all again as Luigi for the final secret level? Lmao.

[@nenntmichbond]

Loooved the video. Pleace keep geing!!

[@CharlieAndLuke]

thank you so much!! We don't plan on stopping! (:

[@kma4835]

For me it was Sister Friede in Dark Souls 3...it literally took me a year to beat her and I exhausted every other avenue got all covenant items just so I could get strong enough to beat her still struggled

[@CharlieAndLuke]

Dark souls is always really interesting to me because everyone has a totally different “hardest boss”, I struggled with Friede but I beat her in an hour or so! Fume knight on the other hand… Took about a weeks worth of 4 hour sessions dedicated JUST TO THAT BOSS before I beat it, insane!

[@kma4835]

@CharlieAndLuke yea I'd say Fume was that for me to maybe worse because he had 1 of his healers active the whole fight thanks to those limited spikes I used up...I couldn't have done it without the help of a summon so I feel ya on that!

[@CharlieAndLuke]

@kma4835 when I played there was absolutely no summons around for some reason so I had to solo it😩

[@amirbrown8470]

Personally I like version of Luigi super Mario 3D Land.

[@chimericalical]

I got Luigi without knowing he existed in this game… but uh… yeah, fuuuuuuuuuuck Luigi’s purple coins. And worse, I decided to get 120 stars with Luigi and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Luigi’s purple coins while playing as Luigi.
