Using Nintendo's Weird Guide to Speedrun Mario Odyssey
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I spent $14.99 so that I could finally play Super Mario Odyssey the way it was meant to be played. Following along the prima games official strategy guide to beat Mario Odyssey as fast as possible. But what if instead... I also tried a bootleg guide?

Here I was stressed about my future, school, my job, my family, and friends when all that matters is memorizing Bowser's moves in Super Mario Odyssey. What a relief
first time being first
and also annoying
@@mellowgtagha I'm second
@@mellowgtag it's fine, at least you admit it's annoying
also all that matters is memorizing Bowser's moves in Super Mario Odyssey, not getting annoyed.
@@uiinpui Correct. Always remember that the only thing that matters in life is memorizing Bowser’s moves in super Mario Odyssey.
Haha
Love how the book tells you that you can make that jump in Lake Kingdom, but then says “just go the normal way”
“you’re bad. go the fuck around”
Well, see, you can, but the only thing that matters is memorizing Bowser's attacks in Super Mario Odyssey
"You can beat this game in under 55 minutes! But nah, just do the boring 4 hour way first."
it tells you you can do it because of the koopa freerunning thing. if youre reading a book about a game to learn more about the game i doubt they would know about that
I'm pretty sure the weird blurb about the starburst symbol in Lost Kingdom is actually in the in-game pamphlet describing the Lost Kingdom. I have read those things way too many times lol.
Yeah I realized at some point in the run that a lot of the blurbs at the very beginning of each section are just taken directly from the game. It made reading them a lot less exciting haha
Memento mori
@@harrisonbennett3787 I just realized, what if there's people out there who just wanted a spirally profile picture and it just so happened they found one of the two profiles used for the channel, it's like they never seen the channel so now they just think there's thousands of just weirdo commenting Memento Mori on their post
@@dalemedley9570 Memento Mori is a saying that is a reminder of the inevitability of death
@@SuperJman1111 Yeah I know, I was there for the channel, and I've known that saying a lot longer than Unus Annus, but my original sentence still holds, because it still looks like there's a bunch of weird people just commenting Memento Mori on their post and they have no idea why and we all know it's because of the Spiral
At first I thought this would be a similar video to smallants video but you using the guide book instead of the arrows really made this video stand out
Yeah i also thought this would have been assist mode
@@The_Apple01 *good mode
and also learning a life lesson, all that matters is memorizing bowser's moves
This brings back memories of perusing the Super Mario Galaxy Prima Guide and admiring at how useful and yet completely unhelpful it was, especially with the Luncheon fiasco
Prima guides have always been made by people that never played the game and heard a 5 year old describe watching their dad play it
@@arzfan29 speak for yourself. i got the prima guide for skyward sword and it was probably the single most helpful book I have purchased.
@@gotgunpowder honestly yeah agree with this. They fuck up some of the goddess cubes near the end but aside from that? Pretty good
Oh god
@arzfan29 Haha nice roast
I can't believe the budget guidebook just ENDS
"The publisher said I need at least 200 pages so I'll give them 200 pages alright"
it's because all that matters is memorizing Bowser's attacks in Super Mario Odyssey
All that matters in life is memorizing browsers moves
“If we want to beat the game the way *God* intended.”
You could’ve said Nintendo, but that makes it so much better.
This is a really fun twist from how Cjya did the whole ‘how the game intended’ idea and I love it. Those books are hilarious 😂
Smallant did the intended way, cjya just tried to beat the game as slow as possible under speedrun rules, which includes beating it as intended
Came in trying to figure out how to rig the casino in Dragon Quest 11, and I learnt that all that matters is memorizing Bowsers moves in Mario Odyssey! Truly never been more content. 10/10 guide.
I love how he used Puzzle Plank Galaxy music exactly when he was describing the starburst symbol, since it was heavily used in that galaxy on buttons, planks, and pillars just like Lost Kingdom.
I thought you were gonna use Assist Mode during the run in which that’s what Nintendo actually intended.
SmallAnt has done that. But you use the Super Mario Odyssey Guidebooks to beat the game. Big difference.
I think CJ is gonna do the same challenge but combine both Assist Mode & The Guidebook.
I’m laughing so hard at the “if you want” part lol
I was dying laughing at "Irish Broodal". Poor Topper, lol. Love your content!
i just love the sight of fir's head popping out over the guide book when he reads😆
Honestly this kinda makes me want to write one of these books. I feel like I could do a pretty good job walking a player through the main game and also mentioning extra stuff they can do if they want to. Maybe I could even have a speedrun section!
For Odyssey, I think each kingdom would get three different sections:
1. So you want to do world peace? OK, go this way, and here are a few easy extra moons along the way to get you to the quota.
2. So you don't like this kingdom and want to see the next one? OK, here's the minimum-effort easy moon route to hit the quota as soon as possible.
3. So you want to get *_everything?_* OK, here's a full glossary of every moon and purple coin in this kingdom, with descriptions of exactly how to get each one, cross-referenced with a map of course.
That's not counting the speedrun route/strat guides for the kingdoms, which I would put separately at the end of the book. Multiple categories, even.
Do it
If you are being serious in making this, I would be up to paying for a copy
@@xav1ergam3r19 Well, I'm serious about _wanting_ to make it, but that doesn't mean it'll ever happen, especially while I'm in college
@@Nat_the_Chicken All good, I get that life can get in the way.
I love that when metro kingdom comes up, the bootleg guide book just bails on you.
0:03 I do, actually, and I can tell you I’ve only ever used it for purple coins and to learn like, two jumps
Edit: I did actually use it to beat the koopa free running as well
I love your humor fir, this was great!
I memorized Bowsers movement. Does that mean I am now one of the best Smo players
There's something to be said about the end of the era of strategy guides
...but maybe it's for the best we don't have them
9:31 Irish Broodal? Wait. I just realised!
_Topper_ the morning to you!
He took this concept to the next level by literally buying a guidebook
smh, Nintendo made this game purposefully difficult so that casual players have to buy their official guidebook to progress easier, insanely pay to win, worse than lootboxes, terrible company >:((((((
Here before the comment gets popular
Me too
Yes, this game took me few days to complete >:( Very p2w >:(
Now I want to make an unofficial guide that is actually good
a guide to speedrunning
fun fact i got that guide book after it first came out and i was still too broke to buy a switch so i just had a random guide for a thing i havent played
Recently found you from the hide and seek videos and I gotta say I really like the editing! Hard to find videos for smo that doesn't just feel like a trimmed livestream. New sub! :)
Fir has the perfect voice to guide us through the wisdoms of this relic coming from our own time
i own this guidebook.
back when my parents still bought me games, they usually grabbed the official guidebook for them too.
i have them for SMG2, SM3DL/W, SSB4, and a couple more.
unlike all the other ones, I _never_ read the one for SMO.
maybe because it was missing an extensive description of "lady goombas"...
Mario Odyssey the “Nintended” way
Fir: *makes a joke about not knowing what the starburst symbols mean*
Me who struggled on Lost Kingdom for an embarrassingly long time because I couldn't figure out how to get to the next part because the stairs were backwards:
Imagine trying to ground pound jump
Fir: Mods the crap out of his game to play multiplayer and make the game insane
Also Fir: Shames us for not playing the game the REAL Nintendo way
Thank you Fir, very cool
I loved this video! The budget guidebook giving you all the freedom xD
So I’m guessing Prima% is gonna end up being a new category
"You copied SmallAnt" I swear if someone says that. Amazing video Fir
Its going to happen
It's clear this guy copied some streamer named Fir from Twitch.
Its invenitable
it happend
I thought that at first just by looking at the thumbnail but quickly realized this is a much more unique video
Hmm yes, patience and speed, two things which definitely don't directly conflict with each other.
Heavy Lobster's theme is a primo music choice btw, cappies off to you
The bootleg guidebook felt like someone wanted to make an smo guidebook, but gave up once they reached Metro, but for some reason published it still. Either that or your copy of the book was missing a "few" words.
Classic Prima, getting small things wrong that make progression more difficult if you're relying on the guide. Though for what it's worth, the Galaxy 2 one only didn't include the secret 1-Ups in Rightside Down Galaxy and I didn't really have an issue finishing it (some Stars were hard, though).
In only 13mins too. This book must really be perfect for beating the game
I love how he acted like he had no idea what he was doing the whole time
This is by far one of the funniest videos i've seen in a while. Amazing
Not gonna lie, the first time I saw your video on hide and seek, I totally thought I was seeing just another streamer. I was wrong then and found out, and every single time I see you on a video, I am even more embarrassed at how wrong I was that you were going to just be another streamer. You're the troll I was looking for in the super mario community xD.
Fir: *Speed running* The book: Now that you have some t i m e to k i l l.
This video is great! Your attention to detail and hilarious sense of humor (not to mention your skill at smo) really shine here. (:
Fir: Do you even own the Prima Games guide book for Super Mario Odyssey?
Me: *YES I DO*
I know how to play Mario Odyssey because i bought that Guide in 2019 on a Fleemarket for 2 bucks.
Its a weird thing to say, but i actully own that book and used it to 100% the game.
the hat in time music is a jam
My friend introduced me to this game at his house, and I bought and red the full book, before even playing the game on my switch
I ACTUALLY HAVE THE BOOK
STILL FIND IT HYPE AF
Probably a stupid question but, have you considered/ are you considering trying this idea with the other Mario games? Or other guide books?
I ask cos it's actually a funny idea
When I first got a switch and Mario odyssey for Christmas, my parents got this for me too. I was so happy to see someone else talk about it.
Point Crow: *Uses assist mode to play SMO as intended*
Fir: *Uses book to play SMO as intended*
snoop doggy that bootleg book is like an real early birthday gift
2:52 just casually a steak knife in the book
I love how the second guide called spewert the fat broodal 😂
I thought there were going to be so many comments saying this was a copy of smants vid even though it is a lot different. i am glad there are barely any of those
jokes on you i DO have the guide... i never read it but i could harness its power to truly play mario odyssey
memorizing Bowser's moves in Super Mario Odyssey saved my relationship
I'm debating whether or not the hilariousness of this video was worth forking over a few bucks to some scammer online for that bootleg guide...
The Nintendo approved run and then the “Nintendo” approved “run”
You are the best. And no i will not stop saving that im in chat haha! but srsly you are epic thx for all the content even if im not always in the stream
I was stressing about my math test and if I’m gonna make it to my dream job but apparently all my stress is about a game 😂
Ah yes, the five broodals: Mini, Tall, Fat, Mother, and Irish.
Took a common video idea of following a guide book and made it so so much better
As a person who played the game as a kid in 2017 for the first time I hope nobody actually used the manual to beat the game cuz that is actually crazy when I think about it. (IM just jealous that they did not get stuck on every kingdom atleasst 5 times before stumbling on something
*Nintendo would like to know your location.*
1:22 Nice coin counter.
I forgot how unique the boss of seaside kingdom is: Mollusque Lancuer III of Bubblaine, until I was reminded of it.
Assist mode:”am I a joke to you?”
...I just love snoop doggy's music.. you should use it as the soundtrack for your next video..
props to you for using KAR music as the background in your videos
I like that you included read time in the total
Great vid! 😁
Alternate video title: Guy complains about the books for 13 minutes
My friend, i have only now found you but DUDE you look like 1993 Billie-Joe Armstrong! I'm old af- so, that's a compliment my dude!
All that matters are Bowsers moves in SMO? Thank god... I was so stressed about the test of tomorrow
yooo the video's out! This will an epic nintended run, great video :D
"Did you see those dash circles on the corner ?"
Bro, I see what is truely important
You've collected 69 coins
1:22 trust me look at how many coins he has
Lol, the “don’t use motion controls” tip is hilarious at 10:46
I got this smo book at a school attics at my school and it's still with me, I use it for moons I couldn't find
The 2nd guide called Topper the Irish Broodal, I'm REALLY surprised it didn't call Rango the Amish Broodal.
Those are some fire blue socks
Nintendo put way more effort than necessary to make this book that pretty much no one was going to ever read
12:58 fir is not wearing pants confirmed
I have heart problems great video fir
Could anyone tell me what the song is at 3:37?
Bowser's Galaxy Generator - Super Mario Galaxy 2
11:11 this is the first time to see how to collect that moon intensiually
Intentionally
I actually have that guide on my shelf right now😂
this was fun. you should do more guides.
Man I was hoping to get a Shiverian bouncing race advice from this guide...
Oh so that’s why I’m having so much trouble! I just needed to start memorising bowsers moves!
Very interesting and detailed
1:55 Please tell me you pronounced frigid this way as a joke
1:23 was that on purpose 😅🤨
Kind of wish you had a vod for some of these runs unedited. Something for those of us who have to work when you are live.
I have a VOD channel I just need to find some time to schedule the uploads and make thumbnails
No offense to Prima but I had several of their LOZ guides (Seasons, Ages, LTTP) and they ALWAYS had East and West reversed in their instructions.
(They had East as go left, and West as go right)
Intended? Nintended!
Playing exactly as Nintended.
