Loving the Nathaniel Bandy Danganronpa era 👍 Fantastic video as always! I always have mad respect for these challenge runs that must take so much time!

I kinda feel bad that Nathaniel had to waste so much time trying to glitch his way past robbird cove just to discover the multiplayer trick

so glad Nathaniel is using Dangaronpa music in these videos, makes me very happy

I'm not entirely sure but the hub world glitch (2:33) may have been useable, there's an alternate version of it where you have player two reach a flagpole before player one to make the camera follow them on the overworld instead of p1. Then you do the clip and swap back to one player, selecting whatever character player two was. This warps you to wherever player 2 was, in this case allowing you to explore out of bounds while the camera follows you.

The damage boosting levels could've been done with Nabbit since you didn't ban him

I am glad another Backwards video is back! I really missed the Backwards series! This game is amazing!

At 8:10 doing the three player strat in Rabbird cove wasn't the only option. If you go OOB with P1 instead of P2 you can reach the Island, switch to one player, and walk across the edge of the Island till you reach either Dolphin 2 or Wiggler race, skipping Bluebird aswell.

it’s weird how I never see anyone doing the bubble flower strat with spinjumps. It doesn’t involve timing and it’s way easier: you shoot a first bubble and then you spin jump onto it;spinjumping makes you shoot another bubble for you to land on and so on. But i get that it’s less precise when you have to fit in small gaps or when there’s a ceiling.

So glad you made so many Mario Wonder videos! It’s the best 2D Mario in a long time.

2:16 Is that a Danganronpa OST I hear? Great video!

Great video! I love the Danganronpa music playing in the background👍

I WONDER how bad WONDER is to play backwards.... This will be a fun watch! SPOILER. ( It was VERY bad.... ) FYI i mean bad as in hard. The video was great! 0:02 Yeah.....THAT'S a lie..... Because you've done every new super mario bros game except NSMBU and NSLU.....

Robbird Cove is starting to be a monsters in all these challenges

I discovered a bubble jump that allows you to go directly up with spin jump badge. 1. Shoot bubble 2. Shoot bubble otherway than midair spin jump (using badge) to get onto it. 3. Rinse and repeat

I'm pretty sure you could've gotten past Wubba Ruins if you clipped out of bounds to skip to Poison Ruins, I see that used a lot in speedruns

22:53 Yeaaahhhhhh the Bubble Flower is like ridiculously op. Especially if you use a combo of Yoshi flutter jumps (you can ride yoshi and then control both players using 2 player) and the spin jump badge.

I wonder if half the levels are possible to complete backwards I wonder

Wonder backwards is RedNow. Sounds perfect for Mario.

That talking flower at the end of Bulrush Express who asks "Why'd you come this way?" is low-key hilarious in the context of this challenge.

I love that you use different game ost, it's such a pleasant surprise whenever I hear a familiar song randomly!

These backwards video are really good!

Great video NB!! And great music to add into this video as well!

This went from "beat levels backwards" to "GLITCHING THE ENTIRE GAME TO SKIP ONE LEVEL" very quickly

Nathaniel never fails to make all his videos the best they can possibly be

Loved the danganronpa music in the background :D

ain’t you nathanal b

Another idea for the sharp trial in world 3 You could use multi-player equip the elephant bade (or any other power up badge) And give every player a power up and when your one hit use the multiplayers for their item!

23:07 That was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in a 2D Mario game ever

Gotta love how Robbird Cove caused Nathaniel Bandy problems two challenges in a row.

This just shows that bandy has done everything with this game

This feels like the Super Mario Bros. Wonder edition of the Super Mario 64 DS No Mario Challenge. So many out of bounds glitches required to reach the areas he showed us. The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Backwards Challenge may not actually be possible, but my goodness did Nathaniel make each and every exploit count.

21:19 bro Nabbit was right there…

Props to Nathaniel for trying this glitch for what seems like hours just to 'attempt' to bypass one level and then glitch the game multiple times only for it to not be possible 😢😢

Pro Tip: Bouncing on a bubble refreshes your safety bounce, so you can bounce on bubbles and then fall to the void to go down. It's super cool, and would be helpful for a couple levels you had trouble with

0:13 Pipe-Rock Plateau 1:51 Petal Isles Part 1 8:46 Fluff-Puff Peaks 10:17 Petal Isles Part 2 10:39 Shining Falls 11:59 Sunbaked Desert 15:57 Petal Isles Part 3 16:18 Fungi Mines(16:19 *Taily's Toxic Pond)("An Uncharted Area: Wubba Ruins" makes this challenge a failure 😞😞😞) 17:12 Back to Pipe-Rock Plateau 18:38 Back to Fluff-Puff Peaks 19:42 Back to Shining Falls("The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory" might've also been possible with Yoshi) 23:17 Back to Sunbaked Desert 25:10 Back to Fungi Mines 25:42 Deep Magma Bog(Maybe you can try "Spring Feet 2" with Yoshi) 28:15 Petal Isles Part 4/Castle Bowser 29:22 Special World 32:43 Ad 33:17 Final Results and Outro

26:00 if you pump the parachute cap, you can go a lot further, and you will easily make this jump without wall jumping at the end

I sometimes wonder if Nintendo thought someone was gonna try to beat this game backwards and conveniently put bridges in certain levels.

Nathaniel, I heard that Danganronpa music, why don’t you make a play through or review of the Danganronpa Series? I’m sure both you and me would enjoy it.

The reason why that game over did that was because when you get a game over you get sent back to the world you are on which in this case was World 4, but because you didn't technically enter the world, it loaded the cutscene.

For Sharp Trial, you could have just used bubble and safety bounce because landing on a bubble refreshes the safety bounce.

14:19 Carl's back!

I love all the Danganronpa music in the background🥰🥰🥰

BTW i just wanted to say that the part Nathaniel died on in in the Jet Badge level, 17:48, IS possible. I know cause I've done it before.

27:45 If you bouce on a bubble after using saftey bounce, the bounce is refreshed and tou can stay off ground as long as you want

16:44 apparently you could’ve done the overworld glitch to land yourself at Poison Ruins to make a bit of progress, but I don’t think that level’s possible either

bro i got mario wonder for christmas and i was playing it all day and i beat it that night 😭😭 forgot how fun the nsmb series was (merry christmas)

Bouncing on a bubble replenishes safety bounce, meaning you can blow a bubble right after you bounce of the ground, bounce off it, and repeat without gaining height.

17:51 I think that one may actually be possible if you glide mid air for a bit

Very cool vod

Been looking forward to this since the arlocast!

Just yesterday I started working on beating Mario wonder with my feet. I’ve done mountaineering and I thought I was done, I can’t hit dash and jump with my feet, jet run isn’t unlocked till after, but thank god at some point even though I lost wiggler just let me go on, and he gave me the auto sup badge

Honestly surprised you managed to get through so many without using Yoshi

You have to make sure that luigi has the crown, so when you would change to one player, it will spawn you to the person who has the crown. Mario had the crown, so you respawned to mario.

6:06 HAHA FUNNI 100% OJ REFERENCE

21:14 this is why All-Bubble-Power is the best powerup replacement badge 22:53 this too

It's official, Robbird Cove is the main villain of this Wonder arc.

With how many exploits happened during this challenge, the delay makes sense. It’s interesting how the badges and multiplayer ghost strats had a big impact on how many levels were able to be beaten backwards.

Here’s a tip: If you get a bubble flower and the safety bounce badge, you can bounce on bubbles to reset the safety bounce and use it again

Oh the backwards series has returned! Hopefully there's one for Mario Kart 9 when it comes out.

14:02 bricks "am i a joke to you? "

Have you tried to do the Special World level with the top down part and the blocking wonder seed to start at the end, go to the blocking wonder seed, doing the section "normal" and go back to the (now non existing) blocking seed spot and finish the level?

17:48 that jump should be possible of u run off the platform and jump, the badge for that level allows that

It makes me happy hearing splatoon story mode music a year and a bit after launch

11:03 reminds me of the SpongeBob episode "Krusty Krab Training video" when the narrator said "haha.. WRONG"

bouncing on bubbles from the bubble powerup refresh the saftey bounce badge, so unless there are more obstacles in levels like the one at 27:10, you probably could have made it

You can, if you stand in the right spot, skip to the lowest area of world 5 by running around out of bounds and the level down there is loaded

It’s still amazing how far you managed to get using glitches

Here’s a fun fact: you can beat the world 1 special level without touching a hoppo. You use rising spin jump and a drill mushroom to get to the platforms and to go on the ceiling to get to the end. This was actually how I beat the level. I think the high jump would also work

I missed this type of challenge.

This challenge goes to show how broken Mario Wonder actully is

Jumping off bubbles resets the saftey bounce badge, so maybe you could've used that in some spots

The series has existed for a while and yet he never started on the last level of the game

Looking forward to the 2D Mario marathon video, as well as the Sonic Marathon video(whenever you release that one. . .)

Lovin thar new thumbnail!

Spin jumping with the bubble flower would have saved so much trouble ~

Kudos for damage boosting and not using Nabbit or Yoshi, that is dedication!

18:48 instead of falling you could try using bubble mario to possibly get some distance

I kinda wish these videos were longer and showed more of the game play instead of just 2 second features of each level

Bandy how many times has Squarespace sponsored you

I’m pretty late to this, but I believe the Blewbird level’s issue is moreso due to the level existing on a path. If levels not accessible were not loaded in properly, then the trick to circumvent certain pathway clears wouldn’t work. The level may be in a different state because it’s on a path, but I find it more likely that the path being open is what it’s checking for and your character isn’t on the path

this the best video ever!!!

I just want to say good job on the challenge! I noticed that at 12:58 that you used the bubble flower, from what I can assume to be your item reserve. Typically, items from outside levels aren't allowed in badge challenges. I can assume that this may be a side effect of the backwards challenge. But like I said, good job on the challenge!

NB will do a challenge for every single Mario game known to man.

Here’s a tip: to make it farther with the parachute cap just keep opening and closing the cap immediately

so if you use the bubble flower jump on a bubble have the safety jump badge go to pit bounce on ofter bubble you can chain it.

*Reads the title*: Oh this will be a BANGER!!!

Based Danganronpa music in this video.

how did you get a bubble power up to parachute cap 2?

grateset video ever made expt me worried if it was possibe or not

It would’ve been funny if he didn’t know but the mod director made it so he started at world 6

At 24:49 can you use the grappling vine badge similar to how you did at 30:00?

I missed these so muchh

6:17 Luigi quite literally said 🗿

I was hoping this would be a video!

was nabbit and yoshi not allowed for this? the sharp trial probably would have been much quicker using them

I got through Jump To The Beat (the special world one) in only 4 tries as Yoshi

19:22 hehehehe he floats down. If you know you know.

finally a use for the elephant powerup
