The section after the goomba pipe seems extremely sceptical with the pipe blocking momentum, being close enough to spawn it in, the speed needed and how high the next koopa is A fun thought but unrealistic I think
15:57 I love these videos and I still like rewatching them cause I’m bored but I’m pretty sure you can use the blue shell to get past this part with the spikes
Apparently it isn’t possible because towards the start of the level there’s a large gap with dotted coins and no blocks and paratroopas, so there’s that
@@doritosbag1054, I noticed that, too. I was hoping that it would be possible for a crazy kaizo mad lad like Ryukahr, PangaeaPanga, or GrandPooBear to officially beat the level backwards, but I guess all we can really do is see how far they can get. LOL, maybe if there are coins in the gap, they can use a P-switch.
Kiwi Enterprises it actually is a thing in the game. Nintendo tries to show it off with a star coin at the beginning. The only new perk with the mini mushroom in the newer games is you can run up and down walls. Sorry if I sound rude.
Well that wouldn't make for much of a challenge video since those levels were designed to be played backwards. It's still pretty cool that they actually implemented that into the game!
Nathaniel Bandy HOLY CRAP! You actually responded, first off, hi, big fan. Second off, I feel like they made that game with you in mind😂. Anyway, would still love a series on it but you don’t have to! Keep up the awesome content!
I could be mistaken since I haven’t played the game in years but in the room where the run ended the p-switch raises the water to the top. This is the part that I’m really iffy on but many of the Mario games won’t allow you to walk into the pipe if there’s no ground in front. But most of them do let you swim into them that way.
7-1 is actually possible. In 100% speedruns of this game, we jump off a flame chomp 3 times with a mini shroom to navigate back to the beginning of the 2nd room. It's a bit precise, but not too difficult. Here's an example: ruclips.net/video/BV7kQbg0AjQ/видео.html
I never saw the Flame Chomp spawn? Perhaps I just missed it, but it could be an issue where I have to access the beginning of the level for it to show up
he made a video called "Is It Possible to Beat New Super Mario Bros with Only The Blue Shell?" before he made this one and in 3-Ghost he discovered this trick after struggling with the stairs...
Thank you for acknowledging that you didn't finish NSLU Backwards! It's always really nice to see content creators that give some closure and recognize when they forget about something!
Nathaniel Bandy, thank you! This was my favourite series of yours and it was funny seeing you do games like Sunshine and Odyssey. What Makes this series even better is that it has endless possibilities like the other 3d/2d Mario games or even other racing games like Crash Team Racing or Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. It also works out better for you because your challenge videos are some of the most popular on your channel.
For 8-2, might it be possible to use a mini mushroom to run on water and, while the water is decreasing, run into the pipe when the water is at the right elevation? Edit: So I've been trying it for a little bit now, and I think it is theoretically possible. I don't have the backwards mod so if it worked I wouldn't know, but I've made it to the pipe while running on water as mini Mario. The timing is pretty precise as you need to be running to have enough speed to be able to get passed the ledge when the water descends.
8-5 is actually possible believe it or not. if you grab a mega mushroom you can push the pipe that you cant enter far back enough to a point where you actually can enter the pipe Edit: i just remembered the pipe that you enter to even play the level is too far up, so never mind
Levels that could have been possible: 2-3 (forgot about the secret exit, since alternate paths aren’t edited) 2-A (not if you start at the normal exit, but if you start from the alternate exit instead) 7-Ghost House (not if you start at the normal exit, but if you start from the alternate exit instead) 7-3 (maybe if a New Super Mario Bros. expert could TAS this level, as NB mentioned, if not possible, at least this will prove how far you can possibly get) 7-4 (not if you start at the normal exit, but if you start from the alternate exit instead) 8-5 (you can actually counter the pipe problem this time! Use a Mega Mushroom and push the pipe. It works and there is barely enough ground afterwards to enter the pipe) 8-7 (maybe try this using Mini Mario and a Green Koopa that’s at the beginning (normally at the end) to see if you can make it) 8-Mid Castle 2 (oh come on, this one isn’t even that hard. If you didn’t have the item pocket, then yeah, this one probably wouldn’t be possible, but you can just have a spare item to get through the spikes. It’s that simple)
3-GhostHouse could have been easily cleared with the blue shell sliding up the slopes (see only blue shell run of this game) Edit: I must be dreaming. 30 LIKES IN SIX DAYS?!?!?!? Thanks so much! Edit 2: okay. What on earth happened to the 30 likes in six days?
That was such an epic moment when you jumped off that goomba BARELY, then somehow died, then did it again and jumped off the paratroopa #1 best gamer moment of all time
From what I remember, the water fills up when pressing that switch in the World 8 level. Once you're underwater, you should be able to enter that pipe.
4:10 you actually CAN enter horizontal pipes with no floor beneath them with the mini mushroom ruclips.net/video/44NR93PRTZE/видео.html this is because of a fake floor glitch where if you hit the right spot on a wall you can briefly stand there with mini (which is why sometimes you can jump in a wall with mini). I've tried both the 8-2 and 7-4 pipes and managed to get the fake floor glitch but not enter either of them, so maybe they are programmed to not be entered backwards.
Oh wow that's pretty cool! I was talking to the guy that modded the game to make this playable backwards, and he said you couldn't enter pipes without the ground so I had no idea you could do this
it would be funny if the bosses were also backwards you spawn at the right side of the room and the buttons for the bowser battles were at the left side good luck with big bowser running towards you
you should do like, a *mega* "is it possible" episode where you combine different challenges. for example... - is it possible to beat (mario game) with mini-mushroom, touching no/ every coin? - is it possible to beat (mario game) with your feet, touching no/every coin? - is it possible to beat (mario game) with mini-mushroom, with your feet? - etc. etc. maybe for a subscriber milestone or something?
I bet in this video Nathaniel is in a very good mood, (one thing I had found that classify this is that one quote from him about 4 mid castle "as soon as you enter the lava is just waiting for ya booty." and also the unagi level where they magically spawn in place with him saying "surprise!" & "uh oh" in a goofy voice. and also "Get fried fish boy!")
Nate. "Can you beat X without jumping after armed by a projectile weapon and" sort of thing. Like "whats the least number of jumps required to beat" with a jump counter. Fire flower, tanuki, cape, whatever powerups there are will probably be required to lower the counter. You decide what counts as a jump or an extra jump.
Hey “National” I watched your “Top 10 Hardest Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Spirits” well I was wandering maybe you do a Top 10 Hardest lightlock Spirits (nuslock x “World of light”) I think it’s a cool idea that hasn’t been touched upon yet. Rules: The rules are simple. If the spirit is optional, and doesn’t need to be collected to progress into the game it doesn’t count, the skill tree is turn off, and spirits are also turn off. The rest is up to you. (Also I subscribed to the channel I’m A FAN :))
15:35 8-5 sadly has another pipe that we can't enter 8-6 had us trapped in this last room and 8-7 has a giant gap which no way to clear man! world 8 has not treaded us this well world 7: Am I'm A Joke To You
Couldn't you technically randomize/remix the game so that you actually start at the final level of the game and work your way down? For a bonus challenge you could either remove warp cannons, or have a mod that invert where they land. (Example: the world 1 cannon to world 5 in NSMBW starts at world 5 and goes all the way to world 1)
Man, saving the showstopper for the weekend, eh? 6:20 That is impressive, & stuff like that helps me be glad you didn't give up on this challenge! Still a good video, though, so thanks for uploading!

Water running is only a thing in the newer new super mario bros games, not the first one.
Kiwi Enterprises it actually is a thing in the game. Nintendo tries to show it off with a star coin at the beginning. The only new perk with the mini mushroom in the newer games is you can run up and down walls. Sorry if I sound rude.
