@@Iwillstartpostingagain I think you’re right, I think it’s just damage. (Tho in my experience if I got hit once I was probably gonna get hit a few more times and die XD)

Can the clones die? In the final bowser fight, I observed the clones taking fire damage. This made me think... if you burn yourself twice, grab a heart, and get burned again, would they die, grab the heart, or am I just thinking too hard and it's just an animation?
I love how the entire time is just running in terror, but the second the clones see Harriet, it's a Battle Royale where they hate everyone Only Harriet sparks the same hate they have for Mario
I wanna say that I recently found you, through your plushie, and have been LOVING your content since. I really enjoy the VoiceAttack videos, they inspired me to use it myself. And all your Odyssey videos have made me want to go back to the game and try speedrunning! Thank you Fir, you are a fantastic inspiration.
(Probably bad) idea: Instead of shadow mario clones, use the same logic as the hide and seek mod - i.e. get some players to chase you and see how long it takes to beat the game with the likes of smant constantly on your tail. Issue is I don't know if that would be easier or harder than this mod. On one hand players are less predictable than these clones. On the other, they're more likely to make mistakes and just let you get progress without putting up much resistance in certain occasions. Also you probably don't want to waste a session with your friends on this when you could be doing something else. IDK though, maybe you would find it fun to do once?
i think this is really cool for a super-hard challenge run, but to make it a little easier for less hardcore players the clones could just cause 1 point of damage like in the galaxy games
This reminds of that one Death Wish level of A Hat in Time where 50 billion penguins follow you, except here, the penguins kill you instantly.... Can't wait to play it.
Found this channel after watching many SMO Twitch streams from SmallAnt. It's weird explaining this, but the way that I found this channels makes SmallAnt's streams feels like the Avengers movies to me. And this channel feels like one of the heroes standalone adventures.

I Loved the idea of Cosmic Clones in Super Mario Galaxy so I love that they were used as inspiration And who knows maybe they can be used to something else
hey fir could you do a challenge like this but that time if the clone gets damage´d you die just like this but all the hitboxes of enemies you already avoided could still damage the clone would love to see that awesome video aswell

One of my favorite mods I've made for you! Super excited to keep making stuff!
hello
Can't wait to see it!
Hello
4th
ur the best Amethyst!
Mechanically Cosmic Clones have been one of Nintendo's best ideas
Though surprisingly enough they've only appeared in two games
I think it'd be 3, actually. I know they're in Galaxy 1, Galaxy 2 and 3D Land.
@@Mabi19 The ones in Galaxy 1 function differently
They're basically just ghost replays that you race against

This specifically feels inspired by badeline from Celeste.
For this mod, you basically have to play SMO and Snake at the same time.
I totally kept thinking of how this is like snake
you have to play smo and smg at the same time
i was just about to comment this when i saw your comment
I was gunna say that lol
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Gotta avoid your tail. Especially in the maps where it just keeps growing.
There's a reason Galaxy had clones die before boss fights.
Bro Fr… 😻😻😻😻stomp on those clones 😽😽😽👐👐
And only do 1 damage

I like to think that clones felt bad about impossible dragon fight so they decided to help in Harriet.
Same lol:D
that, or they've been TRYING to help save Peach the whole time, they just don't realize they're covered in poison that kills Mario, poor guys xD
There's just something really funny about the marios teleporting around when fir captures something lol
hehe clone go vroom
it's almost like a t-pose following you
The Cosmic Clones from Mario Galaxy were so persistent that they followed you all the way to Mario Odyssey!
They persistent 👀

This is one of those Mods where i wish it was an actual mode in the game.
That's an actual game mode in previous games, this mods has too many problems to fix

I can't choose if i should make a celeste joke or a mario galaxy joke here.
I'll just say it's a good mod and a good video :)
Do both
So... they're all A Part of Mario? (squiggly text effect) At least he doesn't have to go through B-Sides.
Fir's Thumbnails are so freaking good dude! Keep killing it
The clones feeling so bad for how long Ruined Kingdom took that they helped you with Harriet was sweet of them.
This reminds me of that one A Hat In Time level, the one with the parade and the characters following behind you that mimmick your actions, but hurt you if you touch them!
This reminds me of a level in “Celeste”
5:37 Through sleet or hail or Rango or rain,
The Cosmic Clones will give you pain
I like to imagine the clones all continuing to jump to their deaths after Mario falls into the void…
The clones are secretly the other hide and seekers.
Ah, so it’s Hide and *Go* Seek.
At 15:00 That never give up was truly inspirational
Great video btw, loved the Galaxy Challenge!
Cosmic Mario Odyssey - love the idea! And wow, surprisingly challenging too...
I like how instead of having a set number of clones it’s just however many the game can handle. So the sub areas become an absolute nightmare
Just like the Parade in Hat in Time! This is a fascinating challenge.
Yeah but I don’t think the Parade Owls kill you if you touch one of them but I might go back to the stage and check
@@Iwillstartpostingagain I think you’re right, I think it’s just damage. (Tho in my experience if I got hit once I was probably gonna get hit a few more times and die XD)

The Cosmic Clones should oribably just do 1 bit of damage in boss fights
Can the clones die? In the final bowser fight, I observed the clones taking fire damage. This made me think... if you burn yourself twice, grab a heart, and get burned again, would they die, grab the heart, or am I just thinking too hard and it's just an animation?
i think the clones are immortal
Damn, these Clones are crazy good at captureless Runs. Can't believe they found a way to beat the game with 0 Captures
This is absolute Chaos, I'm surprised that the game can handle this many Marios.
And impressed by how you pulled this insane feat off.
You know smo is a true masterpiece when you can recreate 3D snake in it 😂
24:16 Fir sounding like a hide and seek SmallAnt chase sequence haha
I love how the entire time is just running in terror, but the second the clones see Harriet, it's a Battle Royale where they hate everyone
Only Harriet sparks the same hate they have for Mario
This video title gave me some nostalgia. Super Mario Galaxy is a wonderful game. Also good video im excited.

This is like a more insane version of the parade levels in A Hat In Time
Yeah this video gave me intense The Great Big Hootenanny flashbacks wwww
I love how Fir’s titles are always the opposite of clickbait, making the challenges seem easier than they are.
Mario looked in a mirror and found part of himself inside
…cue epic mountain climbing montage
Good to see shadow Mario and the boiz rolling up for a no-drama family reunion
Parts that will always ruin a challenge run:
-that one tall room in metro
-ruined
Fir and these ideas are super fun to come home from work and watch!
I really feel like the first clone is way too close. Might be good to despawn clones at the start of bossfights too.
Fir is my only form of support when ir comes to living with my dad. When it feels like everyone hates me, Fir is there Always.
I suppose Mario is attempting to not be self-defeating.
This mod looks super sick! Super kudos to Amethyst for this one.
The shadow clones from previous 3d Mario games are cool but I feel like their hotboxes are way too big and there too many of them
One minor update about this mod that I'd recommend is make it so they take one HP rather than flat out killing you, like the originals
I like how they follow u into 2D areas
I loved the clone comets in Mario Galaxy, it's so cool to see that in Odyssey
my brain the whole video: ITS A CONGA LINE OF MARIO CLONES
In Super Mario 3D Land, it's a good thing there's no cosmic clones and boss fight simultaneously.
This takes "me and the boys" to a whole new level
It does not matter what he plays, it is Fir who makes the content great.
The Cosmic Clones from Galaxy are back!
the marios flying after you at the very end about fuckin killed me
i think this is really cool for a super-hard challenge run, but to make it a little easier for less hardcore players the clones could just cause 1 point of damage like in the galaxy games
Cosmic Clones helping out with the boss;
"Nobody messes with the Mario Mafia Bros! . . . By the way Mario you still gotta pay up!" *continues chase
It feels like Snake. It would be cool if the number of clones grew when you collected coins or got captures.
This reminds of that one Death Wish level of A Hat in Time where 50 billion penguins follow you, except here, the penguins kill you instantly.... Can't wait to play it.
Are you planning on realising your mods someday? I'd love to play them :D

The clones are even purple too
Fir - I just spent 1 hour on the dragon fight
Smallant - you are getting there my child, but you are still not even a fraction of the way to torture
Love ur content fir keep it up pls (:

This is giving me major super mario world fir the 3ds vibes with the purple clone chasing you. How did you get it so perfect?
Mario’s clones while he’s collecting a moon: Aight boys, he’s getting a moon, time for a break
Imagine an 8 player speed run with this-
what's the point of the "-"
If Fir turned off the cosmic clones visually, people would be watching the first bowser fight and be SO CONFUSED on why he was moving like that.
