  • Can New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe be beaten while permanently holding down the crouch button? At first glance this might sound impossible since permanently crouching not only robs us the ability to walk, but makes tons of other mario obstacles a lot more complicated to platform through. But as it turns it actually is possible to beat New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe while permanently crouching. But what about permanently crouching, while also being mini mario? Is it possible to beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe in the absolute smallest way possible? In this video we are finally going to answer this eternal question!

    I wish people would just stop asking dumb questions like "How was your day?" or "May I borrow a pen?" and ask real questions like "What is the smallest way to beat New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe?"

    To answer your philosophical question:
    Becoming “bigger” is considered a failstate by the rules of the run. Letting go of crouch, eating a mushroom, were these instances to occur you would reset the run/level.
    The conflict presented only really comes about because of how you’ve framed the purpose of the run: to beat the game as small as possible, which leaves room to interpret the goal as “average time spent small throughout the run,” rather than the more typical “avoiding ever becoming big” conceit that most challenge runs would follow.
    The fact that becoming bigger than your beginning state is never required throughout the run if you take the desert path means that there’s never a point in which you have to intentionally invoke a failstate, which seems truer to the style of run.
    Think about it in the context of other challenge runs:
    In coiness, it pays to bite the bullet by collecting coins now to save coins later, because the end goal of the run is a cumulatively low score of coins overall, while in a damageless run, the individual instances in which the player takes damage are failstates, and since damage is never required to be taken, there’s no reason to take it intentionally.
    It really depends on what kind of challenge run you want this to be. I personally agree most with the path you’ve taken, being the desert path. It’s treated more as a “failstate run,” rather than a “cumulative score” run.

      If it would be a failstate run then technically you would fail at the start because you could make your mass 0 in an emulator and completely ruin the game, but it would still work. So yeah, you're right.
      Or just get a mini and replay the game from the start like nothing happened.

    So, I think being a lil bigger to be smaller faster is the answer. Because if we add up Mario’s size over those 7 levels, it is going to be larger than the 3 regular levels + a swimming level, thus being bigger to be smaller faster is the correct choice, also I think beating the first world, but then coming back to finish it as smallest Mario would have been a fair choice as well.

Alternatively, the rules say you must have a mini mushroom if you can, and you have to be holding down unless entering pipes or moving on the map. Swimming is entirely valid under those rules.

    One thing I really like about Ceave when he does these challenge videos is how he presents the challenge and when hiccups occur during a run. As much as I love the challenge runs done by Nicobbq and Nathaniel Bandy, they just don't compare. When one of them hits a dead end, it's just "It's not possible to beat this game using this method, but let's see how many levels we can do". When Ceave hits a dead end, he starts contemplating the meaning of life and if it's worth it to put Mario through more of this challenge.

  • @whimsicalstew8646
    @whimsicalstew8646 3 роки тому +38

    I believe I have a mathematical solution to Ceave’s philosophical dilemma near the beginning of the video.
    Firstly, if we look at the individual level speed runs for all the levels Ceave would have to complete after 1-2 (aka from the world one fortress to the world one castle) it would take 275 second to complete. And if we compare that to the secret level, that only takes 74 seconds. Now if we take those times and convert them into frames using this game 60fps we can find that completing all of world one would take 16,500 frames, and completing the secret level would take 4,440 frames.
    Secondly, if we look at the infographic Ceave provided, we can see that swimming Mario is around 22.22% bigger then crouching Mario. With this information we can take 22.22% of 4,440 (986.65) and add it to the total making 5,426.65 total bigness frames, as compared to the 16,500 of going the other route.
    So therefore I believe taking the secret route would lead to a lesser total amount of bigness. The only disparity I can see here is that Ceave can’t play at world record pace while crouching, but that only proves my point further.
    So hopefully I fully explained my thought process, and if there’s any reason you think I’m wrong, please let me know.

    Mathematically Mario has been less big in the swim route, since he had to be sorta-big for a whole world otherwise, which really adds up, especially when considering the size difference between Mini Mario and sorta-big (crouching) Mario and the difference between sorta-big Mario and big (swimming) Mario.

    Here is how i would solve the dilemma:
    Check how much bigger Mario is when swimming, complete the level as fast as possible and multiply the time it took by the increased-bigness-factor. Compare that to the time it takes to complete the route to the desert mini-mushroom. Taking the route with the over all lowest time will have the least big mario per time spent, giving you the lowest average in height for your run.

    "Which of the two options is smaller?"
    Take the time-weighted average height of Mario throughout each path. Multiply that by the length of each path, and then you will have a measurement of each path's "height time" (height x time). Whichever has the smaller "height time" is the correct path, in my opinion.

    I think the best way to tell is to do a measurement for each state of mario, swimming, crouching, and mini crouching, then calculate how much bigger the swimming and crouching sprites are then the mini crouching mario, then apply that size difference to each stage and see which route has the lesser amount of "larger" mario (like if swimming mario Is twice the size of crouching mini mario then you'd do the 2x size times the 4 stages for an 8x waste size or something and then route from there)

HOWEVER, if the run is a permanently crouching run, then yes, due to crouching mechanics existing in water levels, it would not be allowed.

    The route that goes through the water level would be smaller, because of this:
    If you attach a value to crouching, say 0.5, and crouch through 7 levels, you get a value of 3.5. If you crouch through 3 levels and swim through 1, you get a value of 2.5. 2.5 is smaller than 3.5, therefore water level route is smaller.

    I think Mario will need another vacation soon because this is definitely gonna cause some back pain... and maybe hurt his ego when he compares himself to tall Luigi

    Thank you for all your hard work. What an amazing journey, and some great philosophical questions.

    I honestly agree. I feel like swimming is cheating. At least you’re still crouching through the whole world instead of moving the way Mario normally does.

    “Crushing Co- ummm” that got me lol, if he said Cogs, he would be demonitized because youtube is dumb

      It's mostly because of his accent, he pronounces g's like k's...

      There was one point where he just said the name of a level called 'Candy Cogs', and his comments were full of people making dick jokes.

      It's because of his accent. The first time he said that name it sounded like cocks and everyone made fun of him.

      Whenever he plays Super Luigi U. he always avoids 8-4(?) as it's called Hot Cogs

    Be big to become even smaller.
    Here's why: you spend 1 level ~10-20% smaller, but you also stay smaller for like 10 more levels, so 15% is much better than 100%.

      I'd just scrap the math and the overthinking, and just take the route that still allows you to crouch. Better to break one rule than two.

    because he is approximately 25% bigger when you are swimming, that means that he should spend 4 times the amount of time going through the desert to get out as the water, but it takes 3 levels to get through the water and 7 levels through the desert 7 is not 4 times 3 or greater so going through the water is better because although the average size is increased, the TOTAL size is smaller

    I'd saying doing an entire level swimming big doesn't matter, as how many times will you do the accidental bigness jumps and slide-jumps in 3 extra levels? And you even get the smallness faster.
