It continues to amaze how you can still be in the intro of a game like halfway through the video, and somehow cover the rest of the game in the remaining time without it feeling rushed. I think you've really nailed pacing.
That actually is what makes most challenges videos so good. It's the ups & downs! The moments of doubt! The triumphs over seemingly impossible obstacles! The watering of plants!
I just tested this and it doesn’t seem to be the case if you’re holding B the whole time. I think aiming the camera at it just points your flashlight at it, unless you’re doing something special.
I happened here in a mini-binge of "can you beat _ without _" videos that led me here, and thoroughly enjoyed this short but sweet special. Love your use of PVZ music and even though it makes the challenge, not much of a challenge. It's still really cool to see such a glitch used to bridge the gap into avoiding nearly any more flashes. That being said how dare you close the video with Mari's theme I didn't plan on shedding a tear to start my day but HERE WE ARE
Hey I dunno if this would work with the fortune teller, but the 3ds version lets you use the strobulb from dark moon instead of the flashlight to catch ghosts if you prefer. It's way worse and the controls are worse, but the strobulb by definition, is not the flashlight...
This was fantastic. I love how the vast majority of these challenges are just "okay HOW do we make it through the first area" and then you just breeze on by.
Fun fact, time being a Human invention was the original basis for Halloween. Samhain as it was known was the Celtic New Year, and as the night between two years it wasn't part of the Mortal year & therefore not subject to Mortal laws, resulting in the night the Dead could return.
Awesome video! Your videos never cease to amaze me with the quality. Despite how confusing the out of bounds glitch is, you managed to explain it really well! Also, pvz music?!?! Top tier background music. If pvz challenges weren't already done everywhere I would love a pvz challenge from you. P.S. you almost got me at the end
I’m the dude who originally found the out of bounds glitch like, idk around ten years ago when I was one of the only ones speed-running this game. However, it was others that saw my video (posted on another channel) of the glitch that discovered how to tilt Luigi and eventually be able to skip to the game! It’s honestly a good but also weird feeling to see people take your discovery to beat the game in less than 10 minutes, and also create content like this.
I counted 4 emeralds, 2 sapphires, and the Gold Diamond for plant rewards, which makes up 24.2M gold, so saying that plants make up 25% of the money is quite the understatement once we consider gold bars, bills, and coins…
Thank God I was going through a kirby phase when you released your Superstar Ultra TAS, otherwise I don't think I would have ever found this channel. Keep up the great work
For some random reason, this game scared me shitless as a kid. I don’t know why. It wasn’t even that scary, looking back, and I am still not even an adult yet. I was like 8 at the time, now I am almost 17-
The background music you used was from binding of isaac? Dude, that's awesome. Based youtuber, you deserve the attention you've got. It's even one of the modded themes too, I think!
I trinken this is the one most entertainment speedruning/challangerun Chanel i Know the commentary and Strukturen is just great I would love to See you trying different Kind of games and challanges just for that variety
Thank you for mentioning spiders and not putting an actual spider in the video. It's so often that people talk about it being a fear then decide to just put it on screen and force me to have a panic attack. Thank you so much for not doing that. I'd subscribe if I wasn't already lol.
11:35, wish I had seen this video sooner… could’ve saved you a heart attack! Not sure why it happens, but you can respawn the key if you exit to the balcony (or any other area, perhaps) and then re-enter the room.
I've known about the clipping glitch for years, but I never knew the elements can deal damage to normal ghosts, I thought it was only damaging to ghosts weak to it
Hey man, I love your content. And I have no issue with minimum possible runs like this, but considering the 'Is It Possible Without' run died at the first actual enemy, I do feel it was a bit disingenuous to title the video as you did. If the run had gone on a while before hitting a brick wall where the 'is it possible' became a 'no', then sure, makes sense. The title would be asking a question, and a fair amount of the video would be exploring to find the answer. But since there's practically no exploration of this question here, it likely would have been more honest to simply title this video "What are the minimum possible uses of the flashlight to beat Luigi's Mansion?" or something. But as you said at 2:37, it's not nearly as flashy a title. So I get why you'd want to stay with what you did...but I still think it's a bit misleading given how quickly the current title's question became obsolete.
This guy is in my top 3 favorite youtubers, simply because of how much effort he puts into his various challenges, which are always entertaining because they are usually original. Cant wait until he gets more recognition.
i've been a fan since the Super Star TAS, and I just have to say I love your background music choices for everything! OMORI, PVZ, TBOI, all that! just awesome
Can you do a challenge where you try to beat the first 3 FNAF games ( I know that in FNAF 2 it’s required to turn the music box but he can just turn away from his screen) ( I also know in FNAF 3 you have to play audio to get spring trap away from you but just look away from the screen) (And this is only the first 3 because 4 has no camera’s 5 is very different from the rest of them, 6 has no cameras, security breach doesn’t have a focus on it, I didn’t know the VR game existed till now
Man Sample you’re absolutely great at this. All of your videos, be it challenge or something else is just beautifully crafted. Happy Halloween and great vid. 👍
Obligatory UA-cam thing. FR this I absolutely LOVE this content. It's the same reason I love watching Bismuth's videos, but you add a lot more personality to it as opposed to explanations which are equally alluring. FR everytime I'm like Shiny Hunting in Pokemon or doing the dishes or eating, some long menial task that doesn't require much attention, I turn on either the DK64 TAS Speedrun explained, SM64 TAS Speedrun explained, or any of your Kirby vids, seriously they're all fuckin' mastahpieces.
This is so weird because I was playing this game last night and at one point I questioned if you can beat it with the flashlight, but then I realized you need it fight Ghost. If it involves a glitch then I can see it being possible.
I just bought Luigi’s Mansion about 2 weeks ago from the local game shop, and the nostalgia is hitting me. Me and my brother used to play this game a lot as kids. Right now I’m entering area 4 after the Boolossus fight. I’m just wondering what music is is playing at 10:00 mark, but I think it’s from Plants vs Zombies since I recognize the beat.
you actually can get the key in van go room. you have to leave the area and come back and the key should respawn i had to do that a few times because i missed a boo or two
You are like actually the most entertaining UA-camr I have encountered throughout the last 3 months of scrolling through UA-cam shorts and barely looking at actual videos. A++-+ Ranking Love you gn
It continues to amaze how you can still be in the intro of a game like halfway through the video, and somehow cover the rest of the game in the remaining time without it feeling rushed. I think you've really nailed pacing.
I think it helps that a lot of new stuff needing to be explained happens early on the game and only need to do minor additions for the last half
It isn't about the challenge, it is about the story telling. What a pleasant seasonal special
I thought you were going to say “it’s not about the challenge. It’s actually all about the mets”
Lol ok
That actually is what makes most challenges videos so good. It's the ups & downs! The moments of doubt! The triumphs over seemingly impossible obstacles! The watering of plants!
@@WaddleDee105 True. The reason most people have for doing or watching challenge runs is not really the answer, but rather the journey
Maybe the real seasonal special is the friends we made along the way?
"You have to water plants in this game for the best ending"
Man I can't believe Omori really ripped this game off like that.
yo hold up actually true
Does this mean that Mario is Basil?
So that's why it means everything was used
@@itsluig9700 JHBFJHS OH MY GOSH NO WITH LUIGI AS OMORI I CANTTTTTT thats too good gjhsghjsgbjsgblnbjhnGVBJHJsk
@@itsluig9700 wait
Mari
Mario
Oh my god
The ghosts scared Luigi so much, he forgot that he could jump really high.
"It's hard to jump when your legs are made of jelly" 😔
- Luigi
Yeah sam great video and all but I'll admit it would be a lot scarier if you beat luigis mansion with only spiders
You can activate Clairvoya's crystal ball by aiming at it in scan-mode, so the actual minimum is 14 flashlight uses total
I just tested this and it doesn’t seem to be the case if you’re holding B the whole time. I think aiming the camera at it just points your flashlight at it, unless you’re doing something special.
@@SampleChample Ohh, that's interesting. I always thought the scan reticle just had the same properties as the flashlight. Thanks for confirming
It's not about avoiding the flashlight, it's about avoiding the friends we made along the way.
You’re under arrest

What in the world I had no idea they added that in the remake that’s kinda neat.
You're a fantastic script writing and reader, even since the first Kirby TAS video
Absolutely he is, which is unfortunate considering the reality that he has yet to answer “YES” the question posed by any of his videos.
@@joshuapatrick682He succesfully beat cuphead without jumping and hollow knight without collecting soul
This was fantastic. I love how the vast majority of these challenges are just "okay HOW do we make it through the first area" and then you just breeze on by.

So you mean to tell me THIS WHOLE TIME, LUIGI OWNED HIS OWN MANSION AND JUST LIVES IN A LITTLE HOUSE WITH MARIO?
I never thought a challenge run of this game would actually be interesting. Looks like I was wrong. Great video
Good job Sample, you gave Luigi a permanent fear of the dark and PTSD, even breaking his bones with al those dang clips, are you happy now.
the pvz theme coming in had me GROOVIN', excellent music as always
PS: the negative zone is a baller reference
Awesome video! Your videos never cease to amaze me with the quality. Despite how confusing the out of bounds glitch is, you managed to explain it really well! Also, pvz music?!?! Top tier background music. If pvz challenges weren't already done everywhere I would love a pvz challenge from you.

Consistently excellent scriptwriting. Always fun to watch!
the "footage unrelated" part with luigi spinning around while you talk about the ice medallion made me laugh so hard

Luigi’s mansion, but Luigi doesn’t want to use too much flashlight battery.
the editing is especially good in this episode! great job

First time seeing your videos, I am so happy the algorithm brought me to your channel! This is great content, keep up the good work!
Thank God I was going through a kirby phase when you released your Superstar Ultra TAS, otherwise I don't think I would have ever found this channel. Keep up the great work
Your soundtrack choices are always on point. You have excellent tast.
Whoop! Whoop! You honestly might be my favorite challenge run UA-camr at this point!
Always look forward to and love all your videos, thanks so much for the great content!
I wonder how a Dark Moon minimum flashlight run would go
Wouldn't that be minimum strobulb?
Too bad you can't toggle your flashlight, only the strobulb
It was a terrible idea to watch this right before going to bed
Definitely going to have nightmares now, thanks SAMPLE

These videos are just amazing your voice is just chill and smooth and great for commentary
holy crap, it IS Halloween a year later when this was recommended to me D:
Honestly seeing a challenge run of this game is such a joy, with the added plus that it's another Sample video, doubling the joy!
Oooh, never heard about you before, your voice feels great to listen to, and the rhythm is great, subscribed right away
Great video once again Sample
6:24 got a really good chuckle out of me.
Keep up the good work man!
Luigi's Mansion videos never fail to make me happy
luigi, luigi, oh yeah! oh yeah! (x2)
4:07 suddently hearing “it means everything” from omori shocked me
I trinken this is the one most entertainment speedruning/challangerun Chanel i Know the commentary and Strukturen is just great I would love to See you trying different Kind of games and challanges just for that variety
Got this in my recommendations, perfect timing. Happy Halloween!
The thing is, if this was just gameplay and no commentary I wouldn't watch it.
The way Sample story tells and makes commentary is just so good!
Suuuch a cool episode! Love the story telling, very nice vibe
2:36 uhhh idk, I'd argue it's...more "flashy" now
"the real challenge was the friends we made along the way"
Accurate. Far too accurate.
Thank you for mentioning spiders and not putting an actual spider in the video. It's so often that people talk about it being a fear then decide to just put it on screen and force me to have a panic attack. Thank you so much for not doing that. I'd subscribe if I wasn't already lol.
...I never realized van gore has a softlock in two different ways.
...seriously, it's a miracle they fixed both in the 3ds version
Time is indeed a social construct, but a social construct we really need
Fantastic vid! Every time one of your videos pops into my feed I smile cause I know im in for a treat
This was a very entertaining video to celebrate spooky day glad I watched
I don’t know what it is about this channel but I love this little community… always good vibes
11:35, wish I had seen this video sooner… could’ve saved you a heart attack! Not sure why it happens, but you can respawn the key if you exit to the balcony (or any other area, perhaps) and then re-enter the room.
You made it in time congratulations
I've known about the clipping glitch for years, but I never knew the elements can deal damage to normal ghosts, I thought it was only damaging to ghosts weak to it
This is some of the highest quality content on UA-cam right now, hands down. Do you have a Patreon page yet?
This game was a childhood favorite of mine glad to see some recent content of it
6:24 Wow look a Luigi go. I wish I could breakdance into unrelated footage. Seriously though, loved this video. Keep it up!
When I got to 9:38 I had completely forgotten what the challenge was and was completely blindsided at the flashlight counter
Great way to celebrate my alone and boring Halloween.. thanks for the great vid
The PvZ music makes me want to see you do a PvZ challenge, but I don't even know of a creative one that you could try
This reminds me of how when I first played the game I didn’t know how to turn off the flashlight.
Awesome video, love your commentary
That was pretty spooky, made me yell "jeepers!" and piss my overalls.
Hearing 'by your side' by omocat at the end was one heck of emotional whiplash.
This video is an attempt at 100% without playing the game correctly like you expected. Then fails immediately.
Hey man, I love your content. And I have no issue with minimum possible runs like this, but considering the 'Is It Possible Without' run died at the first actual enemy, I do feel it was a bit disingenuous to title the video as you did.

"Quadruple the age I was when I beat this game,"
"He's 40?!?!?"
My first thought was 20
Most likely not. But I’ll watch anyway!
You should try this with the other Luigi's Mansion games
You beat Ceave to the punch. I was seriously expecting the intro music. Great video
*that moment when your flashlight dies in the middle of the night*
Goated Channel, no 🧢.

0:32 I love the delivery of this line!
You know it's about to get good when the pvz music kicks in
Luigi is one step closer to entering a mansion with no polyturgust (which sounds like a living nightmare)
4:24 epic PVZ music. Would be cool if you made a PVZ challange👀

Man Sample you’re absolutely great at this. All of your videos, be it challenge or something else is just beautifully crafted. Happy Halloween and great vid. 👍
When in doubt, just use speedrun skips

Luigi’s mansion without a flesh light is super hard, those ghosts really get me goin
This is awesome please keep them coming

Kicking it into high gear with these challenge runs!! Extra love for the commentary in this one. Keep it up Sam 🙂
luigi rotating through the ceiling to accomplish things feels very in character
I just bought Luigi’s Mansion about 2 weeks ago from the local game shop, and the nostalgia is hitting me. Me and my brother used to play this game a lot as kids.

I’m just wondering what music is is playing at 10:00 mark, but I think it’s from Plants vs Zombies since I recognize the beat.
It is indeed, earlier he used the roof theme from that game too
What music did you use? I love the soundtracks!
Plants vs Zombies and Omori it seems
Awesome video bro!

Love you gn
Also please do something with Mario and Luigi’s Bowser’s Inside Story, that’d be cools
I was hoping to see the Speedster in the coat room, trying to catch that with all the bananas would be hard
Still my favorite game, very fun and challenging at times.
Can you do Luigis dark moon mansion? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
