The 100% run is up now! (also at 2:58 you can see I jump but the counter doesn't go up, this is because I accidently added a clip where I jump. you can clearly see that it's possible to complete without jumping though) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6x9hsuDvZ6dnGw.html

it's very convenient where the npc's are placed like someone at Nintendo knew someone would try to beat this with no jumps

that climb up the lava spire was insane- the health management, the tight time limit, the strategic use of coins and lava- it was beautiful.

Hey Ansel G! Somewhat-pro Galaxy player here, and I'm here to report that I found eleven jump saves in different levels! Here's the breakdown: Honeyhive 2: I came up with an insane solution to saving the star grab jump. Play the level just like you did before, but when you get to the tree trunk, fall down onto the intended platform. Then fall off and die. This is important later. You hit a checkpoint there, so now go up and hit the switch (which IS possible) and defeat the boss. Now, fall back down onto the Launch Star that takes you to the higher planets. This is why you died earlier: the piranha plant RESPAWNS, so you can do the tricky jump again! Then, get up on the tree trunk like before and carefully fall right on top of the now-spawned star! 1 jump saved. Beach Bowl 1: There exists a dumb, inconsistent glitch called a shore launch... the video will explain it. Anyway, do it once to break the cage, then again, but angled to fall right onto the star. (It is possible, but not pictured.) 3 jumps saved. Toy Time 2: Yep, you can make it. 1 jump saved. Star Reactor: When you crouch spin, you can bonk twice. If you bonk twice, Mario goes into a freefall state. He can grab ledges in this state, so that saves one jump on the staircase. 1 jump saved. Melty Molten 1: You can go into first-person to activate the Pull Star from far away without jumping. This also works in other levels like A Very Spooky Sprint, which makes it easier jumpless. I'm surprised you didn't know about this. 1 jump saved. Sea Slide 3: Solved with the power of crab. 1 jump saved. Space Junk 1/Space Junk Comet: It was mentioned in another comment, but here's video proof. 1 jump saved for each. Toy Time 3: There is a solution: just don't play this level! Instead, you can play Deep Dark Secret. It's easy to get to the boo in a box, but the box itself is a little tricky. You can spin-bonk to grab the nails and go off of those (not a jump by your rules), and precisely damage-boost to some spring platforms. You do need to jump one time to grab the star at the end, but that's still better than two jumps to beat Toy Time 3. Better route, 1 jump saved. The video proof (bad quality): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j86ToLp619yvj40.html That should be everything! The total jumps needed is now 44! I'll edit this comment if I find any more!

"Since you gain height by spinning next to an object, what if you spun without any objects around you, including the ground? I decided to let Mario walk off this cliff-" ~Ansel G, 2022.

That's really neat to see someone defining a "jump" in a realistic way, as opposed to "an a/b/x/y press". I mean, those definitions are fine, and they make the rules simpler, but it's nice to see a jump just be... a jump. EDIT: 10:38 I'm serious, every game developer ever forgets the backwards speed cap.

7:19 he's a man of patience, dedication, and sheer will

7:18 "Yeah don't mind me I'm just gonna invent a glitch that takes over an hour to complete for the sake of one jump" Holy shit man this video's insane

As someone who used to literally speedrun this game, the amount of cool tricks and glitches and movement tech that I had no idea even existed is absurd. Amazing work

I didnt even realize this was such a small video this was sick how are you not bigger

I like how instead of doing tricks that basically just waste time, you just acknowledge it's possible and move on lmao

Ansel "You need to jump to climb a mountain." IRL People "PATHETIC."

The lily pad trick is very important for challenges. I’ve used it before when I tried to beat Super Mario Galaxy without power ups. There’s sometimes a chance that the lily pad will move to a side which can be very useful but also very difficult.

7:00 the way you casually showcased it as if everything made somewhat sense actually killed me lol

I wheezed at that one frame death at 25:24 lmao

14:38 My lord that poor toad just getting positively yeeted into the vacuum of space sent me for some reason

A little tip for those attempting the challenge on Wii: In order to use the pointer right after spinning, shake the Nunchuk instead of the Wii Remote.

Amazing work! You’re a real natural for recalling a story I would’ve long forgotten in my struggles to not jump. Made a mockery of your 150 target!

I’m only twelve minutes in and I’m just completely mesmerized by all of the tricks you’ve performed. I can’t even begin to imagine how you found all of these as I’ve never seen anything like it. Awesome stuff!

This is such a well made video! You should totally have a lot more viewers for the effort put into this

omg i miss these kinds of videos i remember there being an era of these kinds of challenge videos, then it died out a year or two later so glad that I found this gem :D

This entire video was such a nostalgia rush. I spent so many days of my childhood playing this game. I’m surprised at how much of this game I remembered.

Such creative ideas! Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos!

I found amusing the number of clips leading right into fails that you put in between star segments. Fun video!

never watched any of your videos before, but i'm very impressed! this was a very high quality upload and i am looking forward to more videos from you.

Your videos are really high quality! Your commentary is confident and easy to follow and the background footage accompanies it well. Great channel!

Incredible video man, subscribed. Keep up the hard work.

Super entertaining video man. Glad it popped up on my feed

I like these sorts of videos that answers questions we never asked nor really needed the answers to but it's interesting all the same. Thanks for doing it so we don't have to.

Just found your channel and I am loving it so far! I know what videos I will be binging for the next week!

Found this on my recommended and I’m glad I did ❤️ definitely an underrated channel that is going to blow up

This video is amazing! I'm so glad I found this channel, it's really a hidden gem and you deserve way more subscribers and views. Just subscribed and I'm excited to go back and watch all the rest of your videos too now!

I got this video in my recommended! Awesome job man!

great video!! you really deserve more subscribers!

I replayed Mario Galaxy 1 in the first time of years partly because of this video, really wanted to give galaxy another go again. You also deserve more views on your limited press challenges as well, a few thousand just ain't good enough.

Kirby and the forgotten land would be a nightmare with these rules because a roll makes Kirby PUSH HIS FEET OFF THE FU**ING GROUND

You deserve many more subscribers and views buddy, this content is absoloutely amazing and very entertaining

dying inside everytime "spin jump" or "jump off this goomba" was said

I like the fact that you credited charber ! A lot of ppl would just say "i found online that you can do that", and i really respect the extra work !

Love the video! Very well made and entertaining. I would love to see more Galaxy videos in the future ^u^

Great video, looking forward to more!

Omg ur genuinely insane at this game, this is crazy

great video! i loved Mario Galaxy and planning on playing it soon !!

You: states “Jumping off Poles” whilst flipping away from a pole.

These challenge videos really made my day!😄

Throwback to this game😳 absolutely amazing💖💖

Yo, very good video! I'm happy my video was able to help you, this challenge was extremely impressive. You found a lot of cool tricks in other levels that i got stuck on. Anyways, keep up the good work and thanks for the shoutout!

fantastic video criminally underrated, your channel is gonna blow up soon

great vid! definitely got yourself a new sub :)

A great challenge for my favorite video game, so glad this was on my recommended

That Lava Spire mission looked extremely impressive! Nice run!

you're gonna blowup on youtube soon man! Love the vid! Awesome stuff!!

This video deserves a lot more views. Hopefully the algorithm picks up on it soon. Great job by the way!

Amazing video with super satisfying tricks!

My man Pulling out a Legend out of Nowhere, love it!

damn good ansel video as expected

i love videos like this, great job :) !! I hope this blows up

Super impressive dude! I really hope your channel can grow. You earned a subscriber!

why doesn't this have more views?? this video was soo good! keep it up :))

1 new sub well deserved !!! You are incredible !

This is insane. I can't imagine how many agonizing hours this took you. Great video man

The lilypad elevator is some good ol' SM64 bullshit. I'm now convinced some of that game's source code lives on in Galaxy and maybe even Odyssey

Awesmome video man!

I would only imagine the pain you went through making this video. Thanks for making it entertaining though!

this is incredibly underrated! instant sub

poor mario must have so many burns rn😭jokes aside, very cool video :D it's really fun to see you come up with solutions

Small note with Pull Stars: if you're playing the 3D All-Stars version, you can grab them without jumping by using the touchscreen in Handheld Mode.

13:25 I know you probably didn’t mean it but the fact you fell off here is really funny to me

"after just two jumps in the rolling ball galaxy, you can complete it easily" *as mario speeds off the world*

Me: "Yeah I've never actually beat Mario Galaxy" This guy: "Well, what if I made you feel like an idiot for it?"

I love how at 25:20 he dies but immediately cuts away to make it seem like nothing happened

How the hell you only on 17k subs??? You deserve way more, the effort you put in for your videos is insane, great video btw keep it up 👍

Science experiment type videos attempting to fulfill proof of concept are always so cool to see, keep up the great work buddy hope the views go up

This guy has the biggest brain on the planet, you can tell by the way he finesses these games to avoid doing things . If he were working towards a cure for cancer we would have it in a year.

This is really interesting and disgustingly underrated! Also I wonder about if there was an ABC for this game.

really great video!

Commenting for the algorithm!!! This was a really good video, I hope it reaches some more people!

19:39 "To collect one more star that I knew needed 0 jumps" "So unfortunately that meant that I had to do 1 jump"

When your a button doesn’t work on your Wii remote:

"You can get there pretty easily" Dude, you have 10x the skills I will ever have in this game. 'Pretty easily' for you is a jawdrop for me. Good job on the video, man. Great success, and quality video editing.

I am so happy someone finally used visuals for counting a jump rather than all button presses...

Great video! I believe that a 1 jump run for the first space junk Galaxy star is possible. There is a pull star momentum exploit you can use at the beginning of the stage to skip the 3 balls with the star shards, which in theory should remove 2 jumps.

Talk about an underrated video!

do more mario game challenge videos, you got my sub forsure!

25:25 Nice blooper moment lol

In Space Junk 1 you can skip the first jump by riding the gravity from the first section with backwards momentum to get straight to the pull stars after the rocket ship. You can find it by searching something along the lines of "Space Junk 1 skip"

great video man! surprised your not a bigger channel

Underrated channel and video

This is by far the most interesting Galaxy challenge I have ever seen. Nice work!

I like the consept of Luigi collecting stars while you are too, hes actually doing something on his own adventure and you're working together like brothers would.

This is awesome.

absolutely insane congrats

I love these kinds of challenges

This was a fun video to watch. So I suggest you try this with galaxy 2

This game never gets old

This whole video gave me nostalgia. Oh the good old days

awesome vid bro

Nice video you got a new subscriber.

I haven’t play this game in a while, but it will take me a while to be creative of how to lower down the jumps on console.

This was a fantastic video, it was really well paced and some of your ways of overcoming the challenge were really creative! My only bit of feedback is that I think it could've been more compelling if you'd turned it into more of a narrative rather than just a counter. My favourite challenge videos tend to be the ones where a goal is established early on - if you've seen CMeeCraft's "Mario Galaxy 2 with no Star Bits" video, you can really feel his resolve to fulfill his goal and the insane lengths he goes to in order to do so. Obviously "no jumps at all" wouldn't have been a viable goal here, but I think it would've been good to establish a goal early on (say, "I want to get 61 stars in less than 60 jumps") and let that drive the narrative of the video. Again, this was fantastic, I just think that change could be a step towards something even better :)
