So when I first got the game as a wee child, I knew of the spin attack from watching my friend play at his house. After seeing the frozen toads, I tried spinning, unaware that the ability wasn't unlocked until later. Long story short, I spent probably an hour being confused and extremely frustrated, thinking my game or wii was broken. I went as far as to looking in the instruction manual, which of course told me to shake the woo remote, only leading to more frustration. It wasn't until looking up how to spin that... I realized what was going on. Child me realized that those toads would remain trapped. Unable to escape. And worst of all, there was nothing, absolutely nothing I could do. I had to leave them behind. I love this game, but man was that scene traumatizing...
The Toads' giddy noise is their joyful expression of their soul being freed from their crystalline prison. F for each and every one of them that we lost that fateful day. Seriously though if a giddy noise is made that means they're still alive, but since their bodies shattered with the crystal means that their bodies have also crystallized in some way and in some amount with it. Their souls are literally trapped because they can't die and they need Mario to shatter their crystals with his star power so they can pass on. That is dark. Probably one of the worst acts Bowser has done and one of the toughest deeds Mario had to perform. *Edit* Makes me wonder... would Bowser go back to his kingdom scotch free or will he see some form of severe punishment for his crime? This would be literally the first time that Bowser has essentially killed citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. I could imagine a lot of things potentially happening: Bowser's execution, his family being stripped of their rights to kingship, the seizure of the Koopa Kingdom, etc... Maybe these things are a bit extreme, but in any case, after that warmhearted ending to Super Mario Galaxy dark times are ahead. How do you think things will play out when Mario frees the first toad only find that it's the first of many casualties of the Mushroom Kingdom?
This is not the first time bowser kills someone on the mushroom kingdom. In the first mario game the description of that game in the instruction manual is that bowser had transformed all the toads into blocks, clouds, coins etc. So every block that mario breaks, every coin he collect is a poor soul of an innocent toad who died because of bowser
i remember trying to save these people from getting eaten alive by wild animals in Ratchet&clank going commando on planet oozla but once you kill all the animals and walk up to the person you save they just die anyway
One of the toads even mentioned that there be something related to coins of the color purple being made available to get acquired later in the game as well. One of the toads also mentioned that as long people play the game according the standards of the storyline progression will still be able to see it in the same way again. I believe what Princess Peach was wanting to tell us bit could not might have been something related to the technology that would eventually be coming out in the future to enhance the quality of gaming quality in the future. Also Princess Peach also mentioned that hopefully you could do it again later on after the game was out for a longer period of time as well as her saying something related to it already potentially being released in the future on a portable console with her not fully certain what the name of the console even was at the time.
Nintendo definitely talked about these ideas exactly how to do what was mentioned inside of the video early on in the game development regarding what exactly would be uploaded in the future as well. What I meant to say that was written on the pieces of paper that were staring at when writing up the information contained likely exactly what to do. They probably already knew that this exact video idea would get made in the future as well. They were already aware of the video regarding the four missing characters in Mario Golf would get made in the future, even way back then when they were originally talking about it as well.
14:05 SwankyBox: "And with this star ability, I proved the concept that the toads do die..." Also SwankyBox: *Proceeds to break all the toad crystals in the area*
Once I freed them, they stayed floating in the same postition. I tried re doing the gateway, and completed it, but once I entered the Observatory, the game layered the beginning one over the the 3 grand star Laboratory, and then the game crashed. Surprised it didn’t do that earlier
These Toads trapped in the crystals are just cheerfully smiling despite going through a near-death experience. The toads that were freed are gonna need some therapy.
Toni Mauge they don’t have to, they’re already dead. There are new toads that instantly pop up to replace their existence. The toads that were trapped in crystals have ceased to exist the moment Mario has touched them.
No, they just know that they will die one way or another. If the crystal breaks, they die. If they stay in the crystal, they die, but slower. They smile because they have come to terms with how they will die. They are no longer afraid.
Actually they're happy cuz they were having a party and they got trapped without even realizing what was happening, so they just got frozen and didn't have the time to see anything
Game: Has a reference to spawn an instance of an object the moment this object is interacted with in a certain way, and was given no reference for the beginning crystals as the player has no way of interacting with them this way. Swanky: the TOADS, ARE DEAD, WEEP CHILD
There's about a 56-bit difference! (No one likes to talk about it, but systems actually stopped at 64bits. Even the Switch is still 64bit, computing has simply improved in other ways.)
Why does everyone ignore the fact that it's only the bricks that give you things (not ? Blocks, bricks that give coins and 1-ups and whatnot) are the Toads that were transformed and that the coins/1-ups/whatever are gifts for freeing them
@@Wendy_O._Koopa you don't really know what 8 bit or 64 bit means. Saying it's only a 56 bit difference is like saying 1 and 1,000,000 is only a difference of 6 zeros. 8 bit means there are 256 different values it can store 64 bit means it can store 2^64 values.
At first I thought "Just throw your cap at the crystal or do you not have that ability yet at that part?" Then I remembered that Cappy wasn't even invented when this game came out.
@@TheAbsol7448 I'm an adult, I was just super into Odyssey at that time and that influenced how I looked at other 3d Marios. Thinking "throw your cap at it" is kind of like a reflex by now, haha. Well and I never played any Galaxy game when I was younger, only years later.
The cutscene involving the star festival in the very beginning of the game could not even be coded the way to work as you mentioned considering that Nintendo also mentioned the barrier that triggers the cutscene when Bowser comes in is actually wrapped around a little bit around the outside of the area surrounding the outside area as well. Nintendo did mention that they were very intrigued at the idea of the Mario throwing his cap at enemies and the surrounding environment, but they were not fully certain if the technology ACTUALLY WAS RELEASED on the market already. They did admit that they may have found it temporarily available to maybe get used, but even if it was a permanent application they still did not want to use it until they felt it was actually documented with valid links verifying that the technology was already made already. They very clearly said something related to NOT having the same exact experience as Ocerina of Time on the N64.
The stars always made me happy, when looking up to the infinite nights sky, it reminded me of how small I am, how insignificant my problems are. It's.... comforting I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense, I got a little emotional from a comment.
I'm happy to have given Mario these essential abilities that he needed to complete the game. Either way, awesome video! Edit: Yeah, being an SMG1 & 2 hacker/modder, ASM is really difficult!
Grab the normal toads in crystals, and code them so that they have the same properties as the crystals that spawn the toads. Then break them open, and they should spawn a toad.
The moment the lightning strikes, there is no longer Toad. They becomes crystal. Whether this is death or not is a matter of semantics, but truly, all you can grant them is annihilation.
i love your galaxy videos. galaxy 1 and 2 were my literal favorite games on the wii growing up. i didn’t know anyone else really cared about them enough to make these kinds of videos. thank you!!! they are so interesting!!!
With the classic Mario RPGs (miss those treasures) in mind, I guess now I just assumed a toad with a hammer just broke out his trapped friends after the Marios and peach went off unwillingly on a space adventure lol
After watching all of these ‘theory and challenge‘ videos, I kinda want to make a game which will have all kinds of Easter eggs, but only for the people who are dedicated enough, to do stuff like trying to free toad from crystals without being able to spin. Now I just need to know how to create a game…
Same, I really want the chance to be able to play two of my childhood games again. Speaking of which... I used to play them when I went over to a childhood friend's house. She didn't own the games herself, but the nearby library had SMG1 and eventually SMG2 disks you could loan for a week or two. I really miss those carefree playdates we would spend together playing SMG1 & SMG2.
I see that in the end it wouldn't result to anything but, is there anything preventing you from loading a Koopa shell into the first level? Wouldn't a Koopa shell be able to break the crystals?
Mario inadvertently killing imprisoned Toads as collateral damage to save the Mushroom Kingdom... why does that sound familiar? reads og Super Mario Bros. manual... Oh yeah...
I've always tried to free the toads whenever I play the game but I always fail. This video, although it wasn't the answer I was looking for, finally answered my question. Thanks alot!
Like you said, you can come back to this level after 100% the game. When you do that, all the toads that where is the crystal's are gone. So they got saved somehow and lived, or they just blew up into atom's 😂
Who else was confused by the rolling boulders from super mario galaxy? They look gind of yummy because of the jelly-looking inside, but digusting because the outside that looked like crap
Swankybox: I’m going to attempt to free the toads in the crystals at the beginning Me: :D Swankybox: whelp, when I break the crystals the toads splinter into a million little pieces, being completely obliterated from existence. Me: D:
Even though we did somehow successfully free the toads from the crystallized form without the spin ability, they never stayed that way before long being hit eventually and turned into crystallization form again. Also Princess Peach clearly showed that she had the power to unthaw and thaw the toads at will as well. It also more specifically made me sort of look at the specific cutscene in a completely different way for a little bit of time afterwards, with another completely different toad saying something along the lines of now you have done angering Princess Peach, let her rage calm down first before you preferably encounter her first. I believe that she also placed up a barrier around the castle anyways, so we could not even get any closer even if we wanted to as well.
When I emulated this game on PC having not played the original for years I spent ages thinking my game was bugged as I couldn't break them out, forgetting that you don't unlock spin until you meet rosalina
Toads from the first level: (get shattered into pieces if you attempt to free them) Toads from Space Junk Galaxy: "Well r.i.p those guys but i'm different"
What if those toads you thaught were crystallized actually were? Since the toad brigade has an NPC loaded when you shatter a crystal, just load the toads from before the attack! It's not that the toads in the crystals die, they just don't have an NPC to come out of it.
I can't believe Swanky killed all the frozen Toads for a video... wow. Also, massive shoutouts to Captain Byte, who is not only a Master of Galaxies, but also my biggest inspiration for getting so into SMG1/SMG2, the sole reason why I too, want to research this game and discover every little thing about it.

If it makes you feel any better, those toads all got saved in the 100% completion cutscene, after the final update. So, canonically, they're all safe.

Who else was confused by the rolling boulders from super mario galaxy? They look gind of yummy because of the jelly-looking inside, but digusting because the outside that looked like crap
I remember spinning to free the toads, don’t ask how, all I know is that I remember.
Swanky: goes into game files
Toad: THE SEE ME ROLLIN
PH.
...Sorry, I ran out of Fs. I've already ordered more, though; they should be arriving in the mail soon.
I just got 8 more today!
I've always wanted to fight bowser and other bosses with the rainbow star
If you look at the shattered crystal bits you can even see part of toads texture in it
2:13 same music as LA. Beast, nice
LA? What is that?
Your thumbnails are my favourite because you never have arrows pointing at obvious things.
Have you tried spraying them down with some Nitric Acid?
Swankybox: I’m going to attempt to free the toads in the crystals at the beginning
Me: :D
Swankybox: whelp, when I break the crystals the toads splinter into a million little pieces, being completely obliterated from existence.
Me: D:
The task of saving the frozen Toads actually isn't _surprisingly simple..._
why are you everywhere?
Yes it is. Mario just forgot his spike shellmet
Science has proved it's deadly at best
UGH I SAID GO AWAY I DID 1 QUINTILLION PACIFIST ROUTES ALREADY
Even though we did somehow successfully free the toads from the crystallized form without the spin ability, they never stayed that way before long being hit eventually and turned into crystallization form again. Also Princess Peach clearly showed that she had the power to unthaw and thaw the toads at will as well. It also more specifically made me sort of look at the specific cutscene in a completely different way for a little bit of time afterwards, with another completely different toad saying something along the lines of now you have done angering Princess Peach, let her rage calm down first before you preferably encounter her first. I believe that she also placed up a barrier around the castle anyways, so we could not even get any closer even if we wanted to as well.
I remember wanting to rescue them when I was little! I never thought they would just disappear...
11:45 *the toad shattered too*
When I emulated this game on PC having not played the original for years I spent ages thinking my game was bugged as I couldn't break them out, forgetting that you don't unlock spin until you meet rosalina
12:02 I cRiEd! 😭
I feel bad for the sensitive now.
Vaughn Hawks it was a joke
"there's just something so welcoming about it" *shows toad with spear and shield *
rip toads, we never really knew you..........
6:30
*many Toads are suffering*
Toad: The view from here is just the BEST! La la la la la!
Save the bups
Swanky: *gets a paid promotion *
Me: oh no he got me
13:30 skips all the fluff and actually answers the question
The “fluff” is 90% of what makes the video worth watching.
Toads from the first level: (get shattered into pieces if you attempt to free them)
Toads from Space Junk Galaxy: "Well r.i.p those guys but i'm different"
What if those toads you thaught were crystallized actually were?
Since the toad brigade has an NPC loaded when you shatter a crystal, just load the toads from before the attack! It's not that the toads in the crystals die, they just don't have an NPC to come out of it.
I can't believe Swanky killed all the frozen Toads for a video... wow.
Also, massive shoutouts to Captain Byte, who is not only a Master of Galaxies, but also my biggest inspiration for getting so into SMG1/SMG2, the sole reason why I too, want to research this game and discover every little thing about it.
