"After getting a High Score, Mario was rewarded with a Disease". I love your sense of humour.

I feel like the laughing joke in all of the locations until "Joke's End" are underappreciated. "Teehee" mountains "Chuckle"huck woods "Oho" oasis "Woohoohoo"niversity

Why does nobody use the Beanstar Pants and Scandal Jeans? It allows Mario to always go first and Luigi to go before Mario. That means Luigi will go before the arms followed by Mario.

People: No items play through!!! Me, an item horder: wait were using items???

So, just a small note... The level up bonuses that you choose go up slowly for every level that you DON'T pick the stat in question, and go down every time you DO pick them, so you get significantly better stat gains from levelling up if you spread the points out, rather than put them all into one stat every single time. Edit: To clarify, the highest these bonuses can go is +9, and the lowest is 0, but you can only get 4 or higher by leaving a stat alone and coming back to it, and you can only get 0 if you keep choosing the same stat over and over again. Second Edit: I mixed up the Bowser's Inside Story level ups with this game, the highest stat boosts go in Superstar Saga is +6. Thanks to those who pointed this out.

24:25 looks like Mario couldn't bear seeing his brother like that and his heart and ulcer gave up on him immediately

I never noticed you using the Advanced Bros moves, you get those by using them over and over again. Those would have really helped you because there are some that are endless if you have great timing.

Yes, the answer is yes. I beat it without items as a kid because I was too stupid to understand how they worked.

You didn't get the other bros attack at the Hammer bros house?? It could've made your life so much easier

So, I know you're in a bit of a bros point famine, but doing splash bros enough to get the advanced is REALLY helpful for queen bean, the advanced version allows you to hit spiked enemies and does bonus damage to them, iirc ot lets you end the fight in like 2-3 attacks In the nom american Versions, not sure if Japanese or also PAL, they added a heal block that fully helps you before the queen bean fight as well, so that's a thing

The wiggler has 34 HP so you killed it with perfect damage.

wth i never seen mario & luigi tired sprites in overworkd this is dope

Cackletta’s soul is gonna be interesting.

if you plan to do this challenge again for any of the future mario and luigi games, I would like to suggest practicing dodging attacks. I noticed you loved to jump with both mario and luigi at the same time and I feel that probably messed you up a bit in the later fights when the timing starts to delay, this kind of play gets much worse in later games where they punish same time jumpings. I feel once you get a better understanding of when you jump it will make future attacks where you dodge by jumping so much easier.

Not sure if you knew about this or not (considering you didn't mention it in the video), but there is actually a much faster way to beat Trunkle: when selecting which enemy to attack, which in this case would be Trunkle in his base form, you have the option to instead attack the yellow berry on Trunkle's head tree, which has far less HP and upon destroying, defeats Trunkle prematurely and completely forgoes his "small" phase.

15:46 now we know why she gets kidnapped so much. She has some kind of magnetic field that attracts every diseased creature known to man, that is only deactivated when under discreet supervision.

I've never seen Trunkle's second phase lmao. Always targeted the fruit and spammed Mario's spinning hammer bros attack so it'd die in four or five turns

A quick note on the Trunkle fight: I usually find it faster to just spam Jump type Bros. Attacks on the Trunkle's head (Where the orange dot is). It usually goes down pretty quick, in spite of the high Def of that part.

Me before the video: Yeah ofc it works, you just dodge everything, items are just a crutch. Me, seeing how you're not good at dodging: Oh no.

This challenge is less can you beat the game without items and more so can you beat the final boss without items

This challenge would be significantly easier if you didn't suck at dodging lol.

You might as well do every Mario rpg (with items at least).

*realizes if he was to do the next no items run in partners, that means no bro items* ...oh no

Your content is really entertaining! I hope you decide to do runs like this for Partners in Time and Inside Story, I think those would be really fun or maybe more difficult due to the removal of the castle warp in Inside Story

Since I done a perfect job in the desert (Mario on 10hp) I loved the video!

I'm glad to see you back, really enjoy this challenge runs 😄 Hope next video takes a little less time

You deserve so many more views! Great videos!

have you considered getting good i'm kidding, you did great. really entertaining video, and now i have a new challenge run to try lmao

I love your videos! you really don't get enough recognition.

Another great video bro! Hope we'll see more of you in the future 😁

omg havent seen the video yet but so hyped to see ur back!! love ur content

Let the last section of the video be proof that Cackletta soul is a struggle of a boss.

I highly recommend you try doing Partners in Time without fighting a SINGLE wild encounter. It might be the hardest challenge you can do

This game is a fun interpretation of familial abuse!

7:58 PEPSI MAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!! Edit: 10:07 “oh mama Mia I shouldn’t of a eaten all a that spaghetti “ Edit2: 17:32 comedy Edit3: 28:45 SMOOTTHHHH

I found cackletta extremely difficult playing normally. You are mad. Incredible.

22:38 When the place is called joke's end, and he immediatly tells a joke...

I love your sense of humor!

For the final fight if you had the speed you go first

34:07 - Because OF COURSE THIS HAD TO BE _CAPPED OFF_ WITH A MEME. Pun intended. Really, though. EXCELLENT job trudging through this challenge. Too bad doing this damageless is nearly impossible....UNLESS YOU USE THE MUSH BADGE AA'S. Seriously, just use the Game Boy Horror SP & the Great Force equipment items, go to the Eastern Warp Pipe, and just jump on Bob-omb's to kill them instantly, and if they have Tanoomba's in the group, that's good too. Each will drop a Red/Green Pepper for each Bob-omb/Tanoomba respectfully. Pretty early on in the game, they can be sold for about 50 Coins, a pop! Even better, just use the GBHSP for Sworm's in the earlier parts of Beanbean Kingdom, and each of THEM will drop Ultra Mushrooms, and the Woo Beans you get from Sharpea's can just be used to make Woohoo Blend coffees. Sell those for up to 200 Coins! Easy money, Ultra Mushrooms, and DISGUSTING POWER. Honestly, this is why I LOVE the original M&L:SS, more than the remake. The nerfs done to the Badges, and items in general, are nauseating.

man as a kid I did these types of runs for fun. I should really try it again one day.

One thing I noticed You don't have to attack all the enemies that split They usually have some switching around animation so you can tell

it's funny how ludwig is a spiny in the e3 build, so they had to shrink his sprite to match his hitbox in the final.

Man, I love Fawful.

goated game, I love it so much

i thought about doing a challenge run for this and PiT, beating the game without changing equipment

Itemless partners in time seems like it would be an actual nightmare, no bros Items, bosses will last years

Honestly when I found you about a month ago I was wondering if it was still worth subscribing so seeing you upload something is very nice

No Bros Advancements either, an impressive playthrough.

I've never even seen the egg phase of the Popple-Birdo fight. I guess because I use Mush Badges and kill them too quick.

Interesting video. My only thought would be that I feel like selling your stockpile of items sort of goes against the spirit of the challenge. You are in essence using the item after all, just not for it's in battle effect. By selling items you're effectively replacing the written effect of the item with "Becomes X coins when used."

i played a lot of bowser's inside story, i think in my last playthrough i did a no items run just because i never had to use them, i was godlike at avoiding attacks. but in superstar saga i was in need of a mushroom almost every battle

I wanna see you do this with Partners in time, where the bros attacks are items.

You mention this in the beginning, but tbh boosting your offenses is the best thing to do in any of the Mario and Luigi games. Damage is completely optional in all games, so taking damage is genuinely less optimal than boosting your Pow. You should still stagger your stat boosts between Pow, BP, and Stache, maybe Speed if you wanna spice it up a bit later on, but boosting Def and HP is completely optional to get through these games.

Ngl once you get badges even without items the game becomes pretty easy Your damage and defense are lowerd by so much without them wonder what a no badges no items run looks like

Awesome 😊

I love this video! Has inspired me to do a no item run of super Mario RPG ^_^

would like to thank you for not doing this on the 3ds version of this game, im pretty sure its just nostalgia but i swear its inferior to the gba one in terms of art style and how it does tthe bros moves in the overworld. also its extremely tragic how much skill issues have been shown off in the dodging of this playthrough, but that did make this more interesting overall though so still a good video. did this sort of thing when i played this as a kid (i was very stingy with items to the point of just refusing to use them, and never realized the power of the mush badge) and it was definitely pretty fun. ill be looking forward to seeing more stuff based on the bros games if you do more on em

Don't using the advanced Bros attacks made this quite dificult too. Cause they are the most broken in the game

You can if you abuse the MUSH AAA badges on both Bros. GBA version only the Shroom force effect is NOT abusable on the 3DS remake of it AT all but that remake DID replace it with a DIFFERENT Broken effect so that Chopper/Cyclone Bros still does 300+ damage a TURN to the final bosses.

Wow gg I’m stuck at the final fight for six months now 😂

Mario and Luigi be like: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAA

This is basically how I play rpgs (my storage in deltarune is full of dark candies)

this challenge might actually be ever so slightly easier on the japanese version, since there is a single heart block in the beanbean sewers

My trunkel fight he never split at all

the short version is yes you can beat pretty much every mario and luigi game without taking damage

6:01 This is not entirely true. You can't JUMP on the main body while she is wearing the crown, but she can be hammered, which has the added effect of pushing her backwards. My tactic for the Queen Bean fight is to destroy one arm then hammer the body, which not only allows you to avoid the bean spitting attack but also causes her wave attack to be easier to dodge and do less damage if you do get hit

Have you tried doing this challenge on the Japanese version? In the Japanese version, most of the enemies have different stats and there's heart blocks that appear throughout the game

How about starting equipment and no items? For your next challenge so each battle is a true test of dodging skill and you also have to only level up one stat via bonus.

Japanese version has heal blocks - admittedly, only three of them, but it does have heal blocks.

Thank God for heal blocks in the remake

25:30 Wait a second, what? Since when does this happen? I think I just always destroyed either Popple or Birdo too fast for them to do this, but it's kinda wild that I just discovered this attack

Now you should do that with Mario RPG +multiple skill issues 🤣🤣

funny and wierd quirk with superstar saga, and potentially all of mario and luigi. the attack stat for bros attacks that matters is the bro that makes contact with the boss from what i hear, meaning luigis attack didnt matter for bros attacks. also superstar saga has advanced bounce bros, which is an infinite bro attack. very broken.

You are terrible at dodging, lol. No offence though as the video is really fun.

You should do this challenge in inside story too

That’s just how I play normally…

I did cacklettas soul with 1 hp no heals easily, however, I overleveled and used number 1 trousers and schoool slack

i haven't watched the video yet but im assuming the answer is yes because every attack is dodgeable

I like this

28:39 lol

it essentially became a no damage run lol

do partners in time no items next please (would exclude bros items)

I don't remember the Koopaling fights at all in Superstar Saga

will you do dream team next i love that game

Ngl i think the easiest version to do this challenge in is the japanese version or the remake because it has recover blocks. I still dont know why the japanese release of the original has them

17:37 uh oh

If you were to do this in the 3ds remake would you use the mush badge? It was severely nerfed in that game.

Could you please do a change of the 1000 year Dore only damage by the Crystal stairs

I wonder if it is possible to beat Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam without using items?

It is definitely possible, but it makes the game a lot harder.

not to be mean about this, but it feels like a lot of the time you miss very simple visual cues on the attacks you were often struggling with like - i saw several occasions during the cackletta's soul fight where you actively just ignore her eyes that show you which reaction you should have in her arm spin attack thing

so in stardust valley you can grind till your about lvl 7/8 and the next 2 areas will be a breeze but how? well you can beat the mobs in sdv but run in the final battle to lose some of your coins go back to the tolstar abd he'll respawn all the mobs repeat until you reach a good level and then continue the game

Could you continue this series?

Can you beat mario and Luigi dream team without any Luiginary attacks

Ok I have a genuine question please enlighten me: Isn't selling the items you get technically "using" them to get more money? Or am I just reading into it too much

seeing you die to bad timing pains my soul, as a "No items" is very easy if you have good timing, but its a great video I wanted to Know wich tricks do you know about this M&L game? because there is a lot of Badges exclusive to sidequests, and even the 4th Bros attacks, they would've helped you a lot

initially im thinking....why is this hard? MLSS isnt that hard, just a bit tedious if you are willingly not using some things. Then you mentioned no inns. And i realized....yeah...theres no pay to heal outside of items. Oh this aint gonna be easy lol

You do know the way to respawn enemies is to enter and leave beanbean town right?

Is there any particular reason you chose to play the GBA version over the 3DS? Ease of recording?
