My first run of Switch Mario RPG is currently entering the Volcano, and I have made it a point to use Mallow and Geno because gotta fill the monster list, and Geno. Mallow + Work Pants + Speed accessory (Zoom Shoes into Troopa Pin) is just so bonkers effective. Mallow has legit been my most powerful character in this run, and I love it. ♥ Also, every time I learn something new about the Tantacles Cinematic Universe (this time, the vegetarian thing) is always amusing.
You can skip fighting the ants - you just need to walk up to them and when they make that whooshing sound of emerging, angle your joystick to run away from them. They’ll jump back in the whirlpool and you can then just quickly follow before they pop up in the other whirlpools or the same whirlpool
That Mage Head luck... I've had plenty of final fights where he just loves the invincible form. Back in the original and before i knew how to get more elemental bombs lol
Anyway, I can help you out on the second form smithy. Essentially the head has 9999 HP, and he shifts between 3 forms. The thing to note however, is each form only has 3333 HP, and after it reaches that threshold, he will never use that form again, which is why you kept getting mage form, as that's the one you did the least amount of damage to.
@@mistahl5350 So it was confirmed to be an invisible wall blocking the original after the Mack scenario? I remember that was one of the top theories but I never went into an editor like Lazy Shell to confirm it myself.
@@apollolux I'm not 100% certain that it is, but it makes sense when you could get close enough with the toads roaming the hallway in the original and still get blocked. A few 'Differences Between Remake and Original' videos point it out as an invisible wall, so that's what I'm going off of.
@@GhostOfRazgiz Well, if nothing else, we do know Johnny Jones can be done with only Mario... you know, because he specifically challenges Mario to a 1-on-1 duel.
To avoid the ants you let the ant pop out of the vortex and it will do two little hops and go back underground. If your timing is good you can follow it underground without fighting it and get to monstro town
Believe it or not but Exor was pretty much the bane of my existence for much of my late childhood and spawned many many nightmares and restless nights due to how scary and difficult he was when I first fought him. Sure I took me many more years to get used to the timed hits in this game but.. come on bear with me. This boss was even harder than Smithy himself! So... I think Exor deserves a spot high up on my list of the scariest video game bosses of all time.
Hear me out. But as you know original smrpg Geno was the lowest about 18 right and Mario was bit over 20 and now he was able to beat it at level 15 in this so. So how much is different for Geno specifically would he be able to beat it at level 10 or something?
This may have just been a coincidence, but I noticed for the ants that when I was going through, if I came up from behind them, they would skip the fight.
@Tantacles: His it posible to only beat it with mario, the answer is no because you already broken the rules. I'm not talking about the one that force you to do a tripple attack, you still attack with Bowser and Geno and that was obviously not force to do so. So your test become invalid. Unless somehow the top part of the cake only gets defeated if all member attack at least once, but I really thought they program it that way.
OK, Why do these videos always tell people not to buy boats? Like, I know buying a boat is usually a bad idea, but its a very specific piece of advice to recur. If someone tells me "Dont bite bricks by the way." Frequently, I assume they or someone they know bit a brick.
If you are an innocent bystander when your lover gets knocked out by someone wouldn't you try to help the out? That means Peach can infinitely revive Mario and you are sitll fighting only with Mario
Thanks for the video! Ironically, the lack of the sad song from Pokémon when you die has left me sad. 😢 I can’t imagine how hard it would be to do a solo challenge in SMRPG while consciously avoiding timed blocks for the other characters. Usually I’m pressing the button before I actually mentally process who the target was. 😂
When ur gf asks u whatcha watchin and u reply. Just watchin a tantacles video with my headphones on and she thinks ur on a different kinda website. Lol
I would say that partners being targetable doesn’t necessarily make it “Mario only”. You’d have to have your partners dead so they aren’t targets of attacks. Not sure if it’s even possible that way but it’s worth distinguishing
from what i remember you can set a lot of stats in the files... if youre going to do this with the other characters, I can try to get you a mod that makes the 4 characters you arent going to use have 1 hp (if you want it).
Mack was an obscure reference even to the original's time (similar to why the Bruce Lee comment got cut, I'm pretty sure). Spearovich is a pretty good translation of Yaridovich (yari is spear in Japanese, but it'll make more sense to western audiences).
