Can You Beat Super Mario Bros Wonder Without Jumping? -No Jump Challenge

  • Опубліковано 24 гру 2023
  • I knew with certainty when Super Mario Bros Wonder came out that I’d have to try a no coins challenge. And so I did, but in that process I ended up also doing somewhat of a mini no jumping challenge. Now normally that’s the sort of obviously absurd proposition that I wouldn’t even consider for a Mario game. No, that sort of thing is best left to Kirby. But this time, perhaps foolishly I thought, maybe, just maybe there’s a chance. So, is it possible to beat Super Mario Bros Wonder without jumping?

    I think dropping from the ceiling should be legal. That's a drop, not a jump. You're quite literally losing elevation - the opposite of a jump.

    • @perrykv7312
      @perrykv7312 5 місяців тому +60

      And considering you're "letting go" off the surface rather than propelling from it, well, it should be legal

    • @hinzbx
      @hinzbx 5 місяців тому +19

      I agree, as jumping is gaining height on the vertical axis, and dropping from the ceiling is literally losing height. Also, other moves requiring the B button are legal. Therefore, the challenge is possible.

    • @StarshadowMelody
      @StarshadowMelody 5 місяців тому +5

      Personally, I think it's as much of a jump as jumping as a goomba is in Odyssey.
      Meaning the reason it isn't a jump is that you're transformed into another creature. Is that logic kinda stupid and flimsy? Probably, but I don't care.

    @prof7304 5 місяців тому +1

    There is a trick with the safety bounce batch:
    Mount a Yoshi!
    If you mount a yoshi, the yoshi can jump on any pit/lava/poison 2 times before he dies, boosting the character on top in the air AND this character has a third jump on the pit!
    And with two yoshies you can do a flutter jump in between each, giving you 7 movements upwards wirhout any plattform! You can just skip giant parts of a level that way!

    I think the Wubba drop does count as a jump. Based on a wall jump counting as a jump, it doesn’t matter what the angle of the surface is. Especially, since it is activated by the jump button. It’s a stupid, contrived jump since you should be able to drop by pressing down like on the underside of dash rails but it’s still a jump.

    I'd say the drop at the end of Fungi Mines is legally a jump, since you are jumping off the ceiling, which I know sounds strange.
    If you were to do this at any other ceiling, the force at which you fall is greater than if you jumped off the ground and fell. Not only that, but you could also argue that your perspective has changed, reversing up and down, thus the ceiling is ground.
    So no, I'd say it's not possible to beat _Super Mario Bros. Wonder_ without jumping.

    • @JacobIczkowski
      @JacobIczkowski 5 місяців тому +2

    It’s a drop and not a jump so you’re good

    To make watching the video more bearable, you should trim the silence in between each sentence to make it flow better. I really want to watch the video but the pauses are killing me

    These NO JUMP videos are terrible for a challenge since you have to jump on curtain points of games in order to progress the story/gameplay to finish the NO JUMP challenge, so you really need to change ALL titles to LEAST AMOUNT of jumps to each game that require you to jump, since making acceptances ruing the purpose of the said challenge.
    Like take the Kirby And the Forgotten Land NO JUMP challenge since you want to use a curtain ability to upgrade it to make a glitch, BUT that actually requires JUMPING to get that said upgrade, in order to get to that glitch.

    "Spin JUMP" badge. Yeah this video is just complete lies. You used a jump. Im so sick of mario challenges pretending they did something or got close when they outright cheated. Not a good video.

      1:04 have you not watched the literal first two minutes of the video? he provides a definition for jumping for the challenge, and mid-air height gain was explicitly stated as legal. it may have jump in the name, but by the bounds of the challenge it is a perfectly legal move.
