4:15 You got the medium goombas on that attempt, meaning your limit was five lives. There is a variation of that level that has two large goombas, you should be able to get seven lives there.
@@ppheard1254 I will try it today. But there's another option using two players (not tested yet). One player is able to fly and the other one has no power-up. He can grab the first one so they can fly.
For the goomba jump challenge, there is a third goomba setup where only 2 giant goombas spawn. When jumping on these, they split into 2 big goombas like the ones you've already seen. This scenario requires 2 more jumps in total, which can be converted into the 2 1UPs you're missing
5:21 W2-4 I have a few ideas. Use multiplayer mode and pop the bubble mid-air. If you pop it at the right place, the other player should be able to grab the Star Coin with the help of the wind. The more bubbles, the easier it would be. Use multiple players that bounce on each other to go further and higher. And if the players jump on each other at the correct time, it might be possible. I don't see it without at least 3 players, but it might be possible, although very hard to coordinate. Does it break the concept of the challenge? Maybe? But unless the level got changed since the challenges were taken out, I see no way it could have been done. It's a 5 Stars for a reason... And if Mini was not excluded, there is a trick to get infinite height with 2 players. Watch Adeal's TASes' video about that level from 2 months ago to get an idea, even if it's a TAS strat, you have to see it. (And yes, I got my second idea from a tactic Adeal used a lot in his recent videos...)
In 1-Goomba the enemies can spawn in 3 different sizes (small,medium,large) and in the book with the challenges it says what size the goombas have to be to get this amount of 1-Ups
Hey nico! It’s rare you get a chance like this with so few comments, so i will say this now. You are so awesome, i love your channel and how wholesome it is. Nowadays it is hard to find a good channel that is upbeat and bright like yours is. Thanks for being awesome and ePiC, and never try to be anybody but yourself! (Or epic gamer nico) 😊🎮
I love this video so much. I wish Nintendo had more crazy challenges like this for the rest of the NSMB games. Maybe you could do an update where you try to pull off the two challenges you couldn’t before, using the tips in the comments?
To get the The third star coin in the sand level you actually have to walk through the semi solid platform when the wind is blowing and then fall into the star coin
I have two ideas on how you might be able to get the third star coin without power ups. Granted, these are just ideas, but I think you might be able to get it with multiplayer. Idea one is with two players. One player uses a POW block to knock down the coin, and the other jumps and throws a shell at it as it’s falling. My other idea needs three players, where this time the second person throw player three. Hope this helps, Nico!
For I saw on the Goomba Stomping, you got the randomly selected version with the 4 Medium Goombas. Getting the 2 Large Goombas will snag you the 7 lives.
It's not randomly selected, they cycle through. When fighting it the first time, it will always be 8 normal goombas. The second time will always be 4 large goombas. The third time will always be 2 giant goombas. After that the cycle just restarts. The cycle progresses when you defeat the enemy and it respawns, but not when you die. There are actually 3 versions of every enemy encounter like this, but most people never fight each enemy more than once so it's not very common knowledge.
5:17 Maybe you can beat the challenge by using multiple players, with one player holding barrel and another player stand on the barrel to perform a double jump (or even triple jump if there are 3 players).
I have an idea for 2-4, but I don't know if it will work. You can maybe get momentum while running from a far distance and do a triple jump in the edge of the bridge, and impulsed by mid-air spins and the wind you should get to the Star Coin. Again, I don't know if it will work.
If you played the one with the 2 large goombas, then you’d get to 400 points. Then stomp on the 4 medium ones to get up to 4000 points. Then stomp on the 8 small ones to get to 7 extra lives. By the way, I love your videos, Nico. I’ve subscribed.
Hey Nico, your website would also be a great opportunity for people to post own challenges. Maybe some people are interested in creating some fun and nerve wrecking dares for others to try or even compete over it like in speedrunning. 🤔 Just putting an idea out there... 😌😁
This is very interesting... I think Nintendo should've kept these challenges in the final game. Well, at least some of these challenges made their debut in Super Mario Bros. U
It's either 5-2 or 5-3, but you could do what I call the "poison" level without jumping on the giant wigglers at all. I'm thinking of at least one part that requires you to jump on one, but could easily be circumvented with a propeller. So maybe using no power ups
Was wondering about the 0 points challenges. Does it consider the points from the timer, too? I know it is possible to grab the flagpole just right at 0 without dying, giving it 0 points, so it should stay possible to score 0 while taking those into account
6:22 “grab a propeller block, and slowly make your way the top, and you’ll actually never need to get on the propeller block!” …… what? *visible confusion* Do you mean not get onto the lifts?
For 2-4 use At least 3 players One of the player stands safely while the others carry each other to throw at the star. Since Mario wii is developed for multiplayer I would not be surprised if this is what your supposed to do but idk.
5:05 do a mid air like in Mario Maker 1 and might work, or wait for him to wake up and drop it, or maybe a triple jump with the wind and precise twirls
You are "that youtuber that is too afraid to say that the game is bad fearing that he won't get any more free games" that scott the woz warned us about
with all the 0 points challenges i wonder what the minimum number of points required to beat the game is? most will probably be from bosses but who knows
To get that 3rd star coin in the wind level you need to do a triple jump at the very edge and you can make it I’ve done that for the secret exit too so compared to that it’s very easy
Somewhere, Ceave is smiling down at these pointless challenges. Also for the spin jump only levels - you're clearly walking! That's not a spin jump! It clearly said "only spin jumps". I demand a refund.

@@nicobbq HOW YOU DIDN'T KNEW IT!?

5:17 You can beat the challenge while using two players. One jumps underneath the coin and the other one uses the POW-block.
Have you been able to execute that

Fun fact: Some challenges are reused in Soup U and others are shown in the Super Guide in Peach's Castle
hate to be that guy but it’s called the hint block, not super guide. the luigi green block which appears after you die too many times is “super guide”
I knew it you need Nathaniel Bandy he is the one to grab all coins while you avoid them Nico nice one!!!!! 11:12
I wonder if he tried asking him about the no power up star coin he couldn’t get
I’ve had this game for almost 10 years and I didn’t know some of these even existed

5:26 maybe if you stand above the star coin and walk left so you fall through the little "stairs" and then get carried by the wind towards the coin?

This is the culmination of every challenge Nico attempted for this game lol

The debut is only the first time. They made their return in NSMBU.
@@brandonbombplays9304 But it was cancelled last minute. So technically, it was its debut
@@Momanic They were still released, even if not easily accessible, as indicated by the guy that has the paper copy.
0:09 POV: you don't know what New Super Mario Bros. Wii
That was such a good Sponsor segment placement!! 👌🏻
Nice that you called in Nathaniel Bandy to do 8-7 for you lol
Weird how there were just no challenges for world 5, huh?
It's either 5-2 or 5-3, but you could do what I call the "poison" level without jumping on the giant wigglers at all. I'm thinking of at least one part that requires you to jump on one, but could easily be circumvented with a propeller. So maybe using no power ups
New Super Mario Bros Wii is the most classified game in the New SMB franchise!
Was wondering about the 0 points challenges. Does it consider the points from the timer, too? I know it is possible to grab the flagpole just right at 0 without dying, giving it 0 points, so it should stay possible to score 0 while taking those into account
This challenge must’ve been using the European version because the Stars are called "Super Stars". In the American version, they’re called "Starmen".
6:22 “grab a propeller block, and slowly make your way the top, and you’ll actually never need to get on the propeller block!”
…… what?
*visible confusion*
Do you mean not get onto the lifts?
I really liked gold medaling the challenges in NSMBUDX, so this looks like a fun proto version of the same!
For 2-4 use At least 3 players One of the player stands safely while the others carry each other to throw at the star. Since Mario wii is developed for multiplayer I would not be surprised if this is what your supposed to do but idk.
I miss playing this game so bad.
Maybe I should give any of those challenges a try when I find it.

9:43 you could've just spin jumped as mini Mario, mini Mario's spin jumps go higher than regular jumps

1:24 Are you kidding me?? DUDE. Mayro will tell you that he did that lol.

its a power up technically so he wouldn't be able to use it
You cant. No power up

@@tri-gaming8656 yea
Wow, this was really cool! :0 I'd love to see speedruns for these challenges lol.
Nico have you tried going into 2 player for the star coin with no power ups
Like let the second player jump on your head when the wind blows.
Maybe you need to get all balloons while jumping on the goombas? Does that grant more 1-Ups?
Maybe Nico should do a "No point" run, similar to his "no coin" runs but way harder.
I thought of an interesting challenge beating Metroid dread without taking any damage
That's literally just Dread mode
you could probably do this one with 2 players
Didn't know that there were lost challenges in NSMBW
this was super amazing! :D
i never knew these existed
Have multiple players if you can't do it yourself.
5:21 triple jump
In W2-4 Luigi might work with a timed shell throw
Does this pretty much confirm that Nintendo’s official position on Yoshi is that he is not a power up?
Some of these easier ones I already do
You are "that youtuber that is too afraid to say that the game is bad fearing that he won't get any more free games" that scott the woz warned us about
with all the 0 points challenges i wonder what the minimum number of points required to beat the game is? most will probably be from bosses but who knows

New zelda tears of the kingdom is coming may 12th check out the trailer
The third star coin challenge is probably possible with a mid air shell jump
Do a challenge in a yo-Kai watch game. Specifically, try to beat the game without using any soultimates
You have to get the big goomba a for extra 1 ups.
I wonder how many of these are also possible in NSMBU
4:15 There is the one you did then another and another version of it.
Heres a suggestion, is it possible to New Super Mario Bros Wii by not collecting any powerups
It is thankfull that you are a expert
W 2-4 star coin - try a triple jump.
And lakitu's cloud is not a power-up but rather a vehicle
Best vid in awhile, nice!
In 4-1 you can get the 2nd star coin Easier with the power DOWN Mini Mushroom😃
how did i miss that?
This video is AWESOME!!
wow nintendo actually thought of 0 score runs before ceave did
Scoring 0 points a new thing?
Hey nico try triple jumping off the edge for challenge 5
hey Nico beat super Mario 3d worlds extra worlds as blue toad while carrying luigi
2:02 You can wait until the timer is 0 because then you didin't score 0!! :(((
W2-4, Use a Yoshi. It's not a power up.
You literally did this in the next level W2-5. A no power challenge but you used Yoshi.
You cannot bring Yoshis to other levels
You’ve got to do a video on nsmb2 dlc
You have to do 0 point challenge with no time left
For the 3rd star coin in 2-4 without powerups, have you tried using multiplayer?
Nico does not like touching coins
React to Kirby and Sonic is not a hero in February.
8:46 They're not boulders they're Spiked Balls, why did you call them boulders anyway?
Can you play newer super mario bros wii without pressing left and in another episode with carrying luigi all the time
