Don't buy a bus.
Don’t tell me what to do 😂.
@@bradreed4414FINE. DO IT
I'll buy a bus, but not a boat
Heard from a wise man it's a bad idea
My buddy Darius keeps buying buses 😂
Ride someone elses bus instead
The fact that you can SOLO Culex and not the cake is honestly pretty damned hilarious. That stupid candle mechanic sucks so much lol.
Because the top part of the cake must be hit 5 times, and recovers one hit when it attacks a team character, in other words, with only mario you will be stuck in the battle, no matter how much level you got.
@@Dark_Mario_Bros. But if all your party members are Mario is it still not a Mario only run 🤯
I actually loved the fact that the candles required such a mechanic. They put did it on one boss, and didn't have gimmicks like that on every boss.
So having one boss first way through made me enjoy it a lot.
The Banjo Kazooie music totally made me giggle during the sunken ship part lol. Awesome run! I'm super looking forward to playing the remake when it comes out, as I never played the original. Thanks for another awesome video!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video, I haven't seen any of mario RPG before so this was really interesting.
Nice video. :) I adored this game as a kid and it’s nice to see I’m not the only one, based on the overjoyed reaction to the recent announcement of the remake.
Top 5 games of my life, no doubt.
You can beat the cake battle with only Mario if you master the super jump. Unless I'm mistaken.
I’m far too unskilled for that to ever happen but if you have a video I would LOVE to see it
8:54 That's funny, because she HAS the crown on her head!😂👑
I have been playing mario rpg when i knew about the safety ring i was going to get, but i already got and then i remembered "oh i don't read stats i just get the one that give me more defense or something so i must have sold the ring"
SAME
4:44 Sounds a lot like the gym battles in Pokemon Indigo League. First couple badges are obtained pretty early on, but then several side plots take place and leave the seventh and eighth badges to be pushed aside until the next Pokemon anime, Adventures in the Orange Islands.😉
I hadn’t thought of this but it’s quite true
This was cool to watch & definitely hyped for the remake as it’s my favorite SNES game & Mario game.
Lol all the Chrono Trigger music in the background :)
Always!
There is no point of no return. You can leave no matter where you are
Eyyyyyy that would have saved me like 3 hours XD
For an good time and always struggled at the first boss since It was my first rpg and always tried to avoid the enemys, and to beat the bow mofo from the geno part was an miracle
Congrats on completing this challenge!
😍
@@tantacles ah also! Just got Discord Yesterday (my friend got me to) so your the first channel i have followed!!
Amazing! 😍😍
I've heard it before but can't remember... what is the song that Tantacles uses when Mario dies?
It’s from Pokémon black and white, I believe.
Love the editing, love the commentary, love the humor, my new favorite channel!
Thank you!
I challenge you to beat Sonic Chronicles with only Sonic.
beat sonic chronicles without feeling an emotion
@@davidthecommenter
I felt nothing when playing it XD
The way you call her Cathy 😭😭
The Chrono Cross reference was super out of pocket 😂
I don’t even remember anymore. What was it?
@@tantacles"Draggy's mom"
Oh yeeeeeeeah
The little Cathy segment got you a subscriber :)
Hey tantacles, i love your content! Im glad i found your channel! How do you feel about star ocean? Im psyched about the remaster of the second story, all about ashton!
I haven’t explored it much, but I’m going to at some point!
@@tantacles it's a great series. Seeing the kind of classic RPGs you like, im pretty sure it'd be right up your alley. Keep up the amazing content! Always makes my day when I see a new upload :D
34:08 so what, you didnt realize that when you fought valentina?
Im not smart and you know that
@@tantacles ope
10:41 nah, its hit kill tho, i inly use jump with them
I'm confused. Did he ever circle back to the cake fight?
Omg. He did it.
AHAHAHA i love the progression of these comments.
@tantacles I was like what if I forget the thing I'm thinking of? 🤔 my brain was like don't forget!
yes it is possible to get 100 coins in midas river :D Nothing interesting happens though haha
You kind of sound like peppermint Larry
The video was very fun, thank you for this. But I can't be the only one that was triggered by the Fletz music from Legend of Dragoon. Hate that damn town lol.
BLASPHEMY.
😜
@@tantacles You're just there TOO LONG in LoD lol.
Yo tantacles, i’ll beat, Mario RPG remake in level 20 and 14 game overs,3 being me stupid.
You’ll NEVER be stupid. My stupidity I’d exceptional
He is
The moon channel recommendation confirms you're a man of culture
Bacterial culture, but don’t worry, I’m taking my antibiotics.
And Cathy says hi.
There is not a point of no return in the Smithy Factory.
You can go all the way back to the entrance no matter how deep into the factory you are.
It is true that after you beat Countdown, the room won't have a way back initially. But if you leave and return to that room, you CAN go back.
Waaaaaaaat
That would have saved me like 3 hours XD
I was just about to comment
I wish they'd included a way out of the factory dimension right before the Gunyolk boss. Or near that Toad merchant. A portal back to the overworld map. Because the way back out is GRUELING!
"...And she also can hit enemies with a frying pan."
Wait, wait, wait. A blonde princess in a pink dress that uses a frying pan as a weapon...I think Disney has some explaining to do!
I am now imagining both Rapunzel and Peach standing side by side with frying pans and with the red menacing glowing eyes filter on ready to strike-
This game takes me back..
When I was a kid, the final boss was remembering to talk to Frgofucious to gain access to the second half of the game
Facts!
The first time I ever played the game I was stuck at Mario's Pad, not knowing you had to walk to the little patch of grass jutting out to leave the area
6 year old me couldn’t figure out the Sunken Ship puzzles and got stuck until my uncle helped me beat it
Having played so many Super Mario RPG randomizers, I knew from the very start of the video that Cake was going to be the run-ender because of its gimmick. Sure enough, lol.
It was interesting to see how the rest of the game unfolded at least.
I had an inkling but wasn’t sure… and then was promptly SMACKED DOWN! 😂😂😂😂
The fight against Jinx 3 would have been interesting to see.
I also thought attack items would have had a more prominent role in this challenge especially the Star Egg.
To answer your question, yes any magic attack (Including Jump) will one shot the dry bone enemies
Bowser is genuinely one of my favorite Mario characters, and it's all because in almost every single Mario RPG, he's just such a fun character. He's always goofy, kinda dorky, so full of himself, and yet always has his intimidating presence. He's so lovable, and SMRPG started that trend.
Speaking of amazing characters in SMRPG, I feel like Mallow doesn't get enough love. He goes through such a character arc and genuinely has the most interesting story of the playable characters imo. I wish people respected him more. He'll always be my favorite Frog Prince.
There will definitely be mallow and bowser solo at some point. I just have a million challenges to do and so little time to do them!
@@tantacles Hey, guess what? By the power of the Randomizer for this game, you can just not select any of the randomization options, and just check the options of starting as Mario, and exclude all 4 other characters so they never join you at any point, and the randomizer fixes so you can defeat that BUNDT cake solo; it makes the candles not light back up once they go out.
I'm going to do my first ever series of videos with Commentary in them, going through the "Vanilla" game, true solo, just Mario, with no punching bag other characters ever turning up. It removes story moments to make it more straightforward to just gameplay, but still, for the purposes of seeing the challenge, I think that's fine. Now, just because I think watching grinding is boring, and I don't edit what ever I upload, I enabled the Triple XP option, so the flow doesn't have to bog down anywhere too much.
You can get 100 coins on the Midas River, but not the first time you go down. There are frog coins on the waterfall in place of regular coins that time, and they don't count towards your coin total, even if you get every one.
To get 100, you need to fight the current on the waterfall a lot, crossing back and forth and even scaling against some rock walls once or twice to get to the other side.
On the barrel run, you just need to follow the pattern where the most coins are, and change lanes at the right time. And if you hit a single fish, your run is messed up.
It was during the race up Booster Hill that I realized that this run was going to be impossible.
Hopes for the remake:
All magic works like jump in that it gets better the more you use it. In various ways besides just damage though. Like hp rain gains a Def up boost and evade boost to them.
Rework characters some. Bowser gets some buffs. Along with Mallow.
Hard mode. The game wouldn't hurt to have some new challenges as well.
Mario getting costumes. Captain Falcon, Kirby, Link, Ness, Samus. And so on
These are all great ideas. How about Rosalina as the hidden character that you find on star hill?
Bowser is a goddamn treasure in the Mario RPG games
Except for Sticker Star.
the Mario rpg remake is the game that has me considering buying a Switch, so thanks for making me want to play it even more
Do it
I didn't know that about Mario's jump attack powering up! Thanks for the content!
Never thought i'd type this but for you Tantacles i'll make an exception. #ForeverAloneMario
Edit: Fun fact about the Hotel, pay for the highest cost room and stay like 10 times so you overstay 9 days that you can't pay for. You then become the bellhop and you can make Flower Tab/Box Tips every so often from the guests, This is how i maxed to 99 FP back in the day. Not many know about that feature most just break their own record at the whack a goomba to max FP.
😂
Man I can't wait for the remake. Nostalgia usually doesn't ever hit me, but holy hell is it full force with the remake. I'm so excited - this and Dragoon were the two big RPGs of my childhood. I guess Mega Man X Command Mission (super underrated RPG) also can be in that lineup, but that was more during my teens.
Finally, someone who appreciates command mission
A command mission enjoyer I see
Command Mission was lit, it was X9 to me and I want a continuation.
@@avengersassemble887 Damn right. I need more Marino in my life. I've thought about it, and personally, I want a sequel that takes place right at the beginning of the Elf Wars. You can see the transition period in the design between the X-era and Zero-era reploids - I want that explored even more.
Mallo wasn't a Tadpole? I've been lied to my entire life.
Yeah, he’s actually a bus
Wait whaaaaaaaat?! You can bounce back the eggs back at birdo?!
I swear i keep learning new stuff about this game even today.
First reaction was "Yeah, duh. The game's super easy."
Then you reminded me the cake existed and...well...right. Yeah. That. Maybe if this were Legend of Dragoon, where the speed stat determines how many turns you get vs. an enemy's, but nope. One turn for each round of combat per character.
He is called SUPER Mario for a reason :3
Just beat this game with my 7 year old son. It was fun going back to memory lane with this game and it got us excited for the remake coming out in November :D Loved your video btw, that's a hell of a challenge haha.
Who is your son’s favorite character, though!
All magic, including jump damage, one shots dry bones. Dry bones are invincible against physical damage but die to ANY magic damage.
Thank you!
I was actually had plans to do this a while ago but I guess I don’t have to anymore. Thank you for making this. Great video
Great video! Can't wait for the remake. I'll be like a kid on Christmas when it drops~
Funny anecdote, I wasn't old enough to pick this game up when it launched (I was born in 1990), but my best friend's older brothers had a lot of SNES games. They didn't have Super Mario RPG but I rented it once and loved it. So we tried to find it at a local flea market (I was probably 9 or 10 at this time) and we stopped for lunch before we got there. During that time we were at lunch, someone went to that flea market, sold their Super Mario RPG copy to a vendor there, and I was able to buy it. Perfect timing. If we hadn't stopped for lunch, I wouldn't have found it.
Lunch: officially the most important meal of the day.
STEP ASIDE, BREAKFAST!
Random: I remember my friends told me to put the lazy shell defense on Peach, because you want to keep her alive to revive and heal others. Well, I put the lazy shell defense and attack on Mario, and he was really strong.
Loved the Final Fantasy Mystic Quest music in this video!
One of my favorites
It gets a bad rap for being too easy but nobody can deny that battle theme kicks ass.
I love how peach is characterized in this game. It's almost like the movie, like you said she's more rebellious and more willing to take risks. Which are characteristics people usually give to Daisy and then complain that Peach has no personality 💀
Whoa I had no idea Jump increases in power the more you use it. I've always just dropped it pretty much as soon as I get Fireball. I'll have to use it more in the remake
Indeed, I knew it got a little bit more powerful with each use until it capped. I didn't know the cap was so High though. I never bothered as I got super jump pretty early
@@minostaurian “why do I need Jump when I have SUPER Jump” 🥲
when i was young, i beat the game by just filling my entire inventory with pick me ups. seemed pretty busted. can't do that on a mario only run, lol.
So your side characters use defend in order to have only Mario attack? Makes sense.
Exactly.
I knew right away when I saw the title I was like well you can't take party members out and we all know that its the equivalent of magikarp in mandatory double battles for solo runs. @@tantacles
Now do it with Geno
Dry Bones die to any special attack. I remember just jumping on them and them dying.
Who'd have thought that seeing a snazzy shirt would lead to finding one of my favorite creators in a long time.
Tentacles, you're amazing and your content simply rocks. 🤙
❤️
🚌🚍🚎
SMRPG is my favorite game of all time and I love seeing challenges this to make it harder. Awesome video! Keep up the good work!
Also Dry Bones can actually be killed with any magic attack including jump.
My fave of all time, too! Is it November yet!?!
honestly your knowledge of the game (before the remake made all this knowledge obvious) is quite impressive, such as knowing that there is jump elemental type or that using jump many times slightly increases its strength and getting secret op items as you go. it's a shame that you didn't get star egg tho cuz it would make this run a lot easier and less tedious cuz you wouldnt have to kill every enemy 1-by-1
If you keep one of the little sharks alive during the johnny battle, the battle is much easier.
This actually makes it harder in a solo battle because Mario gets fewer turns per round so more chances to miss action commands
If something fails the run, be upfront with it as soon as it happens, don't just conveniently "skip" the fight in the video until the end. I'd keep watching anyways but the dishonesty shown here irks me.
Thanks for the critique.
I remember playing this game in my childhood and literally only upgrading HP and still managing to beat the game. I didn't understand why you wouldn't want to max out health 😂
Are you Chuggaaconroy? lol
The axem rangers hmm reminds me of a show I used to watch (power rangers series)
And plus has all the colors from the og series Exept for blue
nice vid man, i'd say it died having to use bowser on valentia, but battle mechs aside, well done, i would be tempted to grind out lvl 30 early. btw i swear to god you can block dark star. I did it as a kid but who knows if i made it up lol anyone?
You’re probably right! I might just be bad at the game XD
3:35 i tried that. it requires frame-perfect inputs
I don't validate this as a Mario-only run. If the other characters are present, they're absorbing attacks meant for Mario. If you want a true Mario-only run, you have to somehow use exploits, if there are any, to bypass getting the other characters.
Opinion acknowledged.
I set the rules for the challenge, then I do the challenge. Then I make a video about it.
@@tantacles that's true. It's your run so it's your rules. 😊👍
As for the Midas River, someone actually got 100 coins. I obviously don't want to advertise someone else's channel here, so just look for Midas river - 100 coins!
I have done a Mario RPG run of each character (Hacking them in form the start while also having my friend code it so you can only have one person in your party. It is slightly glitchy as you still have three party members on screen but they don't have any turns and cannot be attacked.)
If you get knocked out the game softlocks.(Since you still have party members that the enemies cannot attack)
second iteration had them enter with 1 HP and poisoned, so they faint on their turn.
Both were a run ender at bundt So yeah, instead of working it so that one fight gave you proper stats, we just removed the top half of the cake.
And then Dodo happened... In the end, we just redid the whole valentina fight. It took him a lot of programming but he got something that actually worked out very nicely. It felt refreshing too. Johnny also challenges you 1 on 1 right from the get go.
Super suit also unlocks at the same time as Lazy shell. (He put it in a chest in the same area. since in a solo run with another other than Mario, you can not get the Super Suit. Since you can get it BEFORE lazy shell, he put it with Lazy shell. (We were tempted to put it even earlier, but in the end we just kept it there.)
So I did it with everyone, I could not beat it with Bowser or Mallow. Peach was tough but i pulled it off. Geno was about as hard as mario.
We also added a bomb shop in moleville. Locked until Johnny is defeated. You can buy bombs, they are pricey, (More than they were in Seaside town) but you can also purchase rock Candy's for 600.
A few more edits we made was a new map area which is the entrance to smith's factory (the assembly line area) and s springboard to the world map (Go clean up everything you have not finished yet, like Culex, And Culex second Battle. (We did a rematch. He has 9999 HP. And when you bring him down to triple digits he fully heals (Once) along with getting all 4 crystals back.(Which are buffed) (He gives you Uber Charm, which is Qhartz charm, just boosts your attack more and gives you a passive heal.)
We added a boss rush as well. Just outside monstro town. You don't get anything special (Not even experience) from it but it is a cool challenge. If you do beat it you do get 999 coins. It only goes to axem rangers (and only opens after you beat them)
I have sadly lost the hack years back when my computer got fried. I have reached out to my friend to see if he still has it but he has told me if he does he does know where it is. (And he is not even sure if it is accessible. Originally it was on a floppy disk. But he thinks he put it on a thumb drive.) It was a passion project for us. My ideas and his programming skills, along with some ideas of his own (Like a boss rush) (Oh, and attack scarf is not Mario locked)
Final note (We added an item to the game that boosts the speed of the user by 250. We gave these items to party members 2 and 3, so they go before enemies and faint.)
We also later added some other items for characters in Bowser's keep. Items and equipment, which we later removed.
Also don't feel too bad, i have only done 100 super jumps twice in my life. Once on console and once on emulator. I usually just gamegeine teh item into my game now as i don't like doing the 100 super jumps. (I make the attempt every time, but i usually fail.)
e
Cathy? I remember Birdetta being the name she likes. But then, i think this is a different Birdo entirely than the one in Mario 2.
Loving the FF6 music!
While Mario is cool, could you beat it will Mallow?!?!?!
Great video! I really enjoyed it.
I looked back through your other vids, and they're not exactly my usual fare, but you've got my sub anyways for your shout out to Moon Channel.
You can solo with anyone. Kind of. Enemy fp is a lot less than you think. Now, no time hits and no equipment makes the entire game a bit bored.
No recovery. No treasure boxes in area till the next star. Use basic equipment. Level up stats that, shouldent help character that well.
Actually you can beat the cake with just mario you would just need to do a ton of grinding to get ultra jump or ultra flame I can't remember which you get first but both moves can hit multiple targets on the same turn. So if you wanted to do all that grinding it is technically possible to beat super mario rpg with just mario.
00:58 I love Chrono Cross. that's the song from the Zelbess.
Only logical thing now is to do only mallow in the remaster
Doing this challenge but with mallow or bowser ought to be interesting. Or i guess any of the other members too
I think we’ll get there. Gonna try to do at least one of these before the remake.
@@tantacles yassssss!
I was surprised it waa feesable (i had a feeling the cake would be an issue). Nice challenge though!
For a second I thought you were gonna see if there was a way to play Mario RPG somehow without obtaining any characters for Mario's party.
That would have made this a lot more straightforward! I had to reset a couple times when I accidentally clicked an action for a non-Mario character.
16:58 if youre using snes9x you know you can slow down the frame rate so you can get the 100 super/ultra jumps you need for the super suit right?
Ok sure… but I wouldn’t have used it anyway. I think it goes without saying that I don’t use exploits or hacks.
Too bad that the cake single-handedly sabotaged any hopes of single run
😭😭😭
Solo Mallow run (after he joins your party) when? I feel like that might be impossible.
But this was a very fun and interesting video!
Definitely not impossible, and I will definitely get to it. If the remake comes out before I do, it’ll be in the remake.
I've been staring into Marios cold, dead eyes for half an hour and
it changed me. I will never be the same.
If it’s brown it might not be an eye
But it winked at me.
Whats the music he plays everytime he died? It sounds super familiar but I just can't remember what it is.
It’s a song from Pokémon black and white!
@@tantacles Welp that tracks. I do love me some Pokémon games.
I wonder if the cake would be solo-able if you maxed out your speed stat somehow. I don't think leveling up increases your speed though.
12:00 This boss made me stop playing SMRPG because i couldn't beat it no matter what. I couldn't find a grinding spot either at that point. I'll try again in the Remake though. What i didn't know is that the regular jump can grow in strength. I hope it does too in the Remake. I will grind that jump up by a lot to beat that damn boss up!
When Tantacles can beat SMRPG ALMOST with only Mario i can beat that Remake too with all Party Members and a ton of grinding!
Yessssss this is the most rewarding comment ever to read. Go play the game and WIN!
Actually, dry bones dies instantly to any special that deals damage
"Which makes this a good time to talk about action commands and how well they were done in this game."
Yeah man we know about timed hits
And now you know MORE
technically not "only mario" though since the other characters draw the fire from the other enemies away from mario, to do this properly youd havta make a new hack (which there are some really good ones btw like mario rpg: armageddon) still though your accomplishments on this run are impressive
Very true. I don’t hack, but I really want to play the rando
`20:20 The reason defending didn't work on the Breaker Beam is because you already had a buff to defence. If you hadn't buffed defence, then defending would've had an impact on the damage taken.
Ohhhhhhh
My favorite way to grind in Barrel Volcano is to get the Star Egg in Grate Guy's Casino (which is a grind in and of itself) and reroll the purple Spiny encounters until you get a formation of three of them plus two rock things (might be the other way around?) and then use the Star Egg to wipe them out because they all have less than 100 HP. Quick and gives good exp.
Also it's way faster to get Kerokero Colas by doing the music stuff at Tadpole Pond. The juice bar there will start stocking them for 200 coins after you teach Toadofsky all three melodies (from Frogfucius's scroll, the Moleville miners and the dancing star from Monstro Town).
More money efficient to get 5 kolas at the inn. 😉😉
@@tantacles You're right, I was thinking of the Flower Tabs/Boxes you got for staying in the suite enough times.
12:02 that would be the deadliest warrior in the world before the invention of gunpowder
love the music choices! Mystic Quest never gets enough love for its soundtrack!
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites!
What about a solo run of Might and Magic: World of Xeen for PC?
Thankee!
I’ve never played that!
Play without armor. Much tougher but still pretty easy.
Still waiting for your Legend of Dragoon Kongold solo run
