Can You Beat Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe Without Jumping? -No Jump Challenge 

Thinking that Magolor Helper's ability to save you from bottomless pits will trivialise the Onion Ocean Fire Super Ability area that was so hard it required a montage in the first video.

Since it would be impossible (as far as I know) to complete Magolor Epilogue without jumping or hovering, I instead present a different challenge: beating the Magolor Epilogue without upgrading your abilities.

Great video, If I could do a challenge suggestion, a magolor epilogue with as little upgrades as possible could be interesting (as I don't think it's doable with no jumps)

“Meet the best copy ability in the game, fighter” Sand users after wiping out bosses in at most 3 minutes:

Love how Fighter's Cons were Nutty Noon Stage 3 and Sleep Copy Abillity

4:08 I'm so happy the original joke's still here, perfection

The fact you used fire second and not first, shots fire at the anime, in which the first copy ability Kirby uses is fire.

Since you can actually perform a perfect sideways dodge across the initial gaps in Level 1, and you can go to Merry Magoland to get extra Copy Ability mix bubbles for free so you can swap to whatever ability you need at any time, I wonder if it's remotely possible to beat every stage in the game without Multiplayer.

I think someone at HAL watched your original video and thought that it would be really funny if they took away sword's infinite flight. It's not like it was game breaking or super exploitable, anyway.

You know... this may not be the video to post this, but it's fun to see a game where the concept of where jumping doesn't seemingly exist can be a great challenge! This made me chuckle once my mind thought of Balan Wonderworld's lack of jumping on many of the costumes, whereas Kirby's ability movepools make this satisfying to see how far you go! Forgive the long comment, just wanted to say I love this video and commitment behind it! ☺️

You can actually beat the first area without multiplayer, turns out a pixel perfect dodge can get through those gaps

New Mythbusters Video !!!!! Wait a sec ……. This isn’t mythbusters ???

5:26 wasn’t there a block there before?

In dream land delix I know a moove that could also act as jump with sword

Did you try using the new Mecha ability because it has rocket.

15:35 you could’ve used a slide…

Not much different from its previous game, but a good video nonetheless 👍

man why do people hate on hi jump its my faverite ability

Couldn’t u just use bandana waddle Dee for most of the challenge and just use stuff like hi jump for the stuff bandanna can’t beat?

Dude what about meck A FLYING ABILITY

You actually CAN gain infinite height with upward slash, it is just VERY precise, and it only sends you a little bit higher at a time. The only way I could consistently get it was by mashing B like a madman. I tried a jumpless run when the demo came out, and I didn’t need any multiplayer. So it seems the only necessary multiplayer to prevent jumping is for the required Super Ability sections. (The gaps at the beginning can be gotten past with a precise dodge to the right.)

There's actually a way to make Tornado a lot easier to use. It's not mentioned anywhere in the pause screen move list, but if you double tap B while in the middle of Tornado's main attack, you can cancel it early. I found this out by accident when mashing the button out of boredom. Edit: Upon trying this again, it turns out you only need to press it ONCE during the attack, not twice.

Imagine if he used the script from the original video

I’m not complaining, but I kinda wished to see you utilize the fire wheel attack, or at least talk about it since it can climb up walls and move very fast, and using burning to bounce upward off a wall to get in mid air is a great way to activate it Edit: I was wrong, using burning to bounce off a wall to use fire spin doesnt work, it will just activate burning a second time

I love the return of the ability breakdowns! It feels great to have an assessment of an ability’s strengths and weaknesses right off the bat when we encounter them, especially for abilities like Sand and Water that otherwise don’t show up or aren’t particularly significant for most of the run. It makes them feel like another tool in the toolbox, albeit a particularly specialized one, instead of just a footnote to superior or just more generalized jump replacements like Fighter.

Fire has Infinite Flight now! Just cancel the dash attack with the jump button, and you'll explode early, allowing you to perform another dash attack immediately. Fire is now more viable as a jump replacement than in the original. EDIT: Having checked the wiki, it was possible in Star Allies as well. So there's that.

A lot of platformers no jumping challenges often end up with the first jump tutorial ruining the whole thing, so I usually stick around til the end when someone comes up with something creative to surpass that, and you nailed it!

I really enjoy your videos about Kirby games mainly because you don't try to add an extra "challenge" on top of the existing one like most RU-vidrs do to make it seem more exciting. By definition, no jumping just means never pressing A when playing. This means literally anything else (such as calling in other players) is fair game and most effectively answers the question.

I really appreciate the introduction to each new copy ability that you do in these videos! Each one immediately informs us about exactly what that ability can do even if we've never played the game / experimented with that ability, and I like the somewhat subtle touch of giving each one its own music. It really turns these videos from simply an explanation of how it was done to it being almost a puzzle that the audience can try to solve as we're coming along with the journey. I know it must take some time to edit those together just right, so I just wanted to let you know that the effort definitely doesn't go to waste!

You actually can press A to stop Burn in mid air, so you can technically fly forever with it even without walls.

In the First Level you can actually run and then dodge at the edge to barely make it across the gaps. Its very hard to perform but it does work. From there you can go for a mix with the sword and the boomerang for spear. With the spear you can fly up and activate the switch in the next level.

I should have realized once a new kirby came was released this was gonna happen with all the other challenges I watched. As per usual, very enjoyable to watch.

C’mon, we ALL know it’s possible to beat Kirby’s Return to Dream Land without jumping. But, do you think it’s possible to beat it’s main new mode: Magolor Epilogue without jumping?

Great video, I hope you end up trying this challenge with the magolor epilogue, I think that’d be interesting to watch

The original no jumping challenge video on return to dreamland was the first video I saw and subscribed on. It’s quite nice to see the origins of when I first subscribed to this channel return.

Because no jumping would be torture for me, I decided that I was going to try to complete the main story 100% without hovering.

Honestly you are now one of my favorite parts of a new kirby release

The sword infinite jump still works it just seemingly has a smaller frame window

It's easier to make the second player meta Knight, ride him and then FLY DURING THE ALL THE FUCKING GAME

I REALLY hope this doesn't offend you, but your voice sounds like Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia :)

You can cross the first 2 gaps without needing a player 2. If you stand at the very edge of the ground right before the drop you can dodge roll to the other side without jumping, it’s very precise but it is possible.

I purpose making a video about a challenge about another style of challenge common in platformers, coinless, or starless. Think it would be fun on this game and I even am in the middle of attempting that challenge for star allies

My prediction before watching is it'll be possible, besides the jump and hover tutorials at the start

That 4 or 5 copy swap at the end was so cool, I loved it :D

Still waiting for Kirby Star Allies: Heroes in Another Dimension without jumping

you can cancel the burn move with a(NOT JUMPING) which is the EXACT same as hitting a wall, so back and forth going up is an option too

Next, can you beat Magolor Epilogue without upgrades?

Dang, new Kirby game and TV e first thing bro does is torture himself with insanely difficult challenges

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe? More like Kirby's Return to Wheelchair Deluxe!

1:25 i actually tried playing the demo jumpless, and when i came here i found you can dodge spin across this gap... its extremely pixel perfect but it can be done... i never did it twice in a row but it can be done, that being said doing so gave me a new found respect for the effort you put into these challenges, i was about ready to pull my hair out getting past _here_ let alone the rest of the game, idk how you do it cmee, but hats off to you :) TL:DR there _is_ a way to get past here in single player, but its not easy to do, and i now see how hard these challenges really are

Gotta love how Sand, the ability that was seemingly forgotten, was used to beat the final boss.

This challenge would be a lot easier because of merry magoland because of the random ablity essence to get ablitys early

I wonder if the inclusion of merry magoland and the random copy ability item would change anything

I didn’t see the JUMPS in the thumbnail and thought it was just NO

Sand is coarse rought and irritaring and it gets everywhere...even on the high ground that you need to Go to progress!

Magolor Epilogue least reauired amount of jumps or Magolor Epilogue challenge in general

Can you beat a Kirby game while Kirby is cribbled from an attack on the streets

Hasn’t it been like three days since the game was released? Bro is speedrunning

I don't want to be that guy but fighter is available in the 1-4 hal room

I wonder how many jumps you need to clear magalor’s epilogue…

Imagine this was just the KRtDR jumpless video in 4K lol

This is basically just a more streamlined version of the original game's video - By all means not a bad thing, since they're basically the same game, but also an excellent sign of how much your editing process has improved over the _4 years_ since that upload. (Although I'm very dissapointed you made no reference to the original game being the first Kirby No Jump video ever...)

I just got this on my recommend section, I was waiting for this 😤

My favorite part was when Mr. Dooter said," It's dooting time and dooted all over everything."

Great challenge vid for the most part but I am a little curious how 12:49 doesn't count as a jump. It uses the standard jump animation and doesn't have a name to indicate it's not a jump, does it?

13:08 im pretty sure thats nutty noon music not white wafers music

You will literally get higher when you do it the tutorial

Let’s go back to where it all began. Shall we?

In this version, they added some star allies and triple deluxe moves to the abilities. Meaning, if you really wanted to, you could hop on Dedede's back and Super Dedede Jump to the goal of nearly anything. You can still dodge to cancel it at it's peak, too.

It appears I underestimated the power of sand… great vid! Edit: wow whip really got more a chance to shine in this run compared to the original RtDL

This is basically the original video but better

Where can you beat Kirby by only jumping

Why is sand so op in this game yet sand is kinda bad irl

Magalor epilogue

Did you mean: Is It Possible to Beat Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Without Jumping? Deluxe

Obviously a lot of people are suggesting Magolor Epilogue without upgrading abilities, however I’d like to suggest a far more devious challenge. Magolor Epilogue with minimum Magic Points. That means no collecting them directly, no getting any combos, and while you would be forced to get SOME from just beating levels, it wouldn’t be enough to upgrade abilities very much, if you allow yourself to upgrade them at all.

The sequel we didnt know we needed

I think that you could utilize mix in this run. In the first stage when sword gets introduced there is also cutter. You can block while bumping into them then eat them both at the same time to get any ability you want!

Nutty Noon Stage 3 Sleep

I think its kinda hilarious that the ability named HIGH JUMP went almost unused in this entire challenge This poor ability gets outclassed even at Jumping which is the only thing it can do

You could also do a no jump whit, bandana waddle dee, meta knight and king dedede and see if it's possible. Je put Kirby on them like a monture.

You can actually clear the jumping tutorial without multiplayer. If you dodge right at the edge, you don't fall down. Its precise, but doable.

Level 1 could have been so much easier

Pretty sure sand wasn't in the wii... but nice to see that there are new things :)

11:57 “it’s just what the doctor ord”

I have a challenge! As I have seen that as soon as you start the level you can use multiplayer, I have thought of this challenge: You can beat "Kirby Return to Dream Land Deluxe" without using Kirby? The rules would be: never use Kirby "copy abilities". The only exceptions would be the "Super copy abilities"(or whatever it's called) when they are mandatory. (Sorry for my bad English, I’m Spanish and I love your videos ❤)

already? now do magolor epilogue

You can use fire to gain infinite flight. If you press A while in mid-dash, it will cancel and knock you up a bit, which lets you activate another dash in mid-air. If you chain the button presses together you can gain infinite flight from completely flat ground

Ehhh i thoug You would 100% the Game :V. Oh well that was a missed opportunity sinse meta knight,waddle and DDD all have jumprrplacements and Merey magoland copy ability essenses exits. Sing such a miss oportunity

Wouldn't it be easier to just spawn Meta Knight so he can glide over stuff Smash-style?

I have an interesting idea for a rtdld challenge. Play through the main story (on a completed save file) with only ninja. You can’t jump, but you can wall jump. You can use down up to gain the smallest bit of height, to scale walls with wall jumping. I thought of this in the demo and the whole demo is possible with wall jumps only. (Not counting getting all the energy spheres and such.) you can use player two for super ability segments, but apart from that don’t use them.

but how many energy spheres can you get in krtdldx without jumping? random copy essence is allowed when needed

I discovered that you can gain infinite height/flight with sword by using upwards slash, it's just very, very, very slow, and pretty much frame perfect making it pretty impractical to use for this

Why not use ban waddle Dee?

honestly, could've just gotten past the first obstacle by using Bandee's Waddlcopter / Dedede's super jump / Meta Knight's glide as well lame solution, but I can see them solving a good majority of the game

4:50 Days late, but having just checked it, I have to mention it. The Spin Slash can go airborne by holding up as you release the charge, whereupon you can control it left and right, like a weaker version of the Whip Tornado. This gives you enough height and distance to clear the gaps though, making it safer than chaining Upward Slashes.

Hmm… well idk why Player 1 is not using super copy abilities and player 2 is using them. Also you can use souvenirs like random copy ability or maximum tomato to help you. And also if you can complete the older Kirby return to dreamland without jumping then I’m pretty sure you guys can guess that it is possible cause it is a similar game with some changes

If I'm honest I'd love a follow up [other than magolor minimum upgrade run] To see how many jumps it takes to get every energy sphere.

2:00 actually there’s a way easier way to pass this obstacle and likely future obstacles. Go play on Merry Magoland, get yourself the random copy ability capsule thing, and try rolling for an ability that has a jump replacement, like Sword or Fighter, or at least a way to get over the gap easily, like Tornado or Fire.

I just beat the normal story mode! I’m excited to start the Magolor epilogue when it’s not 3am
