They should give waluigi rejection powers (any cultured person should understand why)

it still drybones

I’m trying to main all fire emblem characters and legit forgot that corrin was a fire emblem character

Dire DIre Docks is the one SM64 level I wish got cut

Even though I like all the courses in the game, my vote for the weakest goes to Dire Dire Docks. It's really small and doesn't have much going for it, plus swimming through the tunnel 5 or so times quickly gets tedious.

Also why didn't our boy Bowser not get any costumes like his tux, dark bowser (inside story), or meowser (3d world)

They added more spirits recently

I love watching Mario drown and hate you for disliking these levels so much, I’m letting you know in the comments.

This is why I don't use the pro controller and use joycons also why is hollow Baston's station of the heart a hazard?! Also the mii had their own classic in 4 and cutting them in ult is dumb (thumbs up or heart if you agree)

So uh..."Chosen by the Keyblade" is literally taken from a sentence from EVERY single Journal entry sora has had. (Why do i point this out? No Reason)

I feel bad for you, you gotta play the shittiest levels of all time

Bro really made 3 ranking lists in one video 💀💀

Yeah, I think I do prefer Jolly Roger Bay out of these two levels. I particularly dislike the hole that takes you outside the castle in Dire Dire Docks. I mean, not only is it doing that pretty annoying to begin with, but the current that sucks you into it is entirely invisible. Also, yeah, the empty tunnel in Dire Dire Docks sucks. The least they could do if they're going to make you swim a long time to get somewhere is put something interesting within the path you have to take, rather than leave it completely empty. Another thing I'll mention is that I don't like the chest stars in these levels. Just randomly guessing the chests until you open them in the right order doesn't really add any challenge. It just makes it an annoying trial-and-error process. I think they should've made it so opening all of them, regardless of what order you open them in, makes the star appear. You would still have to be careful of the current in the whirlpool star, but you wouldn't have to constantly swim back up for air over and over until you open them in the right order. Also, the fact that this concept is reused three times in this game is a bit lame.

Would Wet Dry World count as one of the water levels?

Fun fact! The manta ray star is just broken. The ring's visual is rotated correctly, but the rotation for the hitbox swapped 2 of the axes. This means sometimes they line up (like with through the jet stream) but other times its completely perpendicular. Always swim through the dead center to avoid missing a ring.

i had no idea those 5 coins in DDD existed and i've been playing this game my entire life

why is the top 15 marked as "top 10"? i hope someone got fired for that one

Huh, but snow is water. Doesn't that mean that there's actually 4 water levels? Or 5 if we count Wet Dry World?

Maybe I'm just a hater, but I honestly don't like the majority of SM64's level designs, but one of the exceptions for me is Jolly Roger Bay. It's simple but in a good way. It isn't a random cube in a skybox, it feels like it could be a real place. The 1st section is short, so getting to the pillars via the cannon, or up to the platforms to board the ship is quick and easy, and anything else you could need to do is located in the only other poi, the big deep section that's just beyond. The tunnel to the cave is really cool, as a kid I always imagined the kind of amazing adventure that some pirates must've taken to leave their chests there. The sunken ship and eel are a simple concept but make the level stand out significantly. The music is lovely. Really the only big issue I have is how slow Mario swims, but since I grew up with SM64DS, as soon as you unlock Luigi, swimming is a breeze. (just like literally everything, why did they make him a god in that game? 😂)

6:50 This really confused and frustrated me when I played for the first time in 3D All Stars. The DS version has the eel swim out in front of you like you'd expect, and I've played SM64DS countless times since I was like 7 years old so it felt so weirdly counter intuative to swim away in the og version

This video is terrifying

4:29 Coming back to this, Wet Dry World honestly feels like a B3313 level

Odessy central needs to father my children

Ok, so star 4 in dire dire docks is meant to teach you the ring mechanic. Then star 5 expands on it by testing your knowledge on the mechanic

congrats on succeeding in your journey of yapping less 🔥

9:13 to give context a Dragovian is a race of people that can turn into dragons.

(jolly roger bay 100 coin star) oh boy, lemme tell ya about my experience with this one. When I was a kid, I was going for this star, and ended up spending maybe an hour just swimming around JRB stuck at 99 coins, looking for ONE more coin and couldn't find it. I ended up checking on super mario wiki to see it, only to find out that because I missed the one blue coin, I had to restart. needless to say I do not like that star to this day

the ds remake for this game fixes the eel blocking ship hole

8:15 HE EVEN HAS THE ANIMATION WHERE HE TAKES THE FUCKING HAT OFF

i'd say rainbow ride is better because at the very least you CAN skip the boring parts with difficult jumps but in the water stages you're forced to swim for prolonged periods of time if you wanna be objective about it though i'd say all 3 stages deserve to be right next to each other in D Tier

Dire dire docks goes hard

the coin stars have actual names you know...

From my perspective as a speedrunner, I consider DDD to be the worst stage in the game by a landslide. It definitely has some competition from Rainbow Ride, but it really robs the game of most of what makes it interesting, and unlike JRB, it fails to make up for that with a particularly interesting aesthetic or memorable stars. They both have very similar issues on the gameplay side, but among the casual playerbase, *everyone* remembers the Unagi, or the sunken ship, or the treasure hidden in the cave behind those super intimidating falling pillars. Besides the sub, does any casual player ever think, "Oh, yeah! Dire Dire Docks! I loved the two separate stars whose entire gameplay gimmick is to grab the metal cap, which is a rehash from JRB in the first place!" There's also the Manta Ring star, which is literally glitched in an incredibly unintuitive and frustrating way. And while not an issue for casual players, any speedrunner will tell you how DDD100 + Reds is *SUPER* difficult. Potentially the hardest star in the game. All my homies hate DDD

odyssey central are you a crip or a blood
