Can You Beat the True Arena Using Only the Copy Ability? 

I was internally screaming when you got tapped by Marx Soul's arrow attack at such low health. how you didn't die is WAY beyond me.

Wow, that last battle came in clutch. I could feel the stress from barely surviving that last arrow attack.

Since Galacta Knight floats off the ground, kirby can low profile the sword multi-jab, the shield beam attack, and often the flying-dashing lunge

I remember having a very easy and fun time beating Helper to Hero as Tac, and would be neat if they gave him the Kawasaki treatment of being far more than just a single use attack

I would have said “why not inhale a paint ball to get the Paint Ability to clear out the paint balls and use the cheat code to get the Copy Ability back”. But then I realized you wanted Kirby to hold onto that ability at every possible moment, even at the moments when you’re just guarding, excluding only the Mini Bosses and Kabula. That’s dedication. I unironically like the Copy copy ability just for being unique, with enough differences between inhaling, (doesn’t kill enemies in one shot deliberately for Player 1 and 2 can have the same ability, Mini Boss counter (especially against Chef Kawasaki and Mr. Tick Tock), easier time in Milky Way Wishes, and the best helper in Tac) and for looking cool. I want it to return despite the odds. Great video overall!

I felt the stress when you got hit at the end of Marx Soul's battle. The fact that you survived and did this challenge is insane.

You seam like the type of guy who would be able to go through every official Kirby game and do a tier list of EVERY KIRBY BOSS this would include more than just the mainline games but only official games so no fan games They can be ranked based on things like how fun they are to fight, your opinion on their design, how they act outside of there fight, how fun it is to watch someone else fight them The tiers would be S, A, B, C, D, E, and F S being the highest tier and F being the lowest tier

A small RU-vidr with big potential, as a RU-vidr myself I can say, keep doing what you love, and keep doing what you enjoy, you’ll achieve your goals in no time🔥

randomly clicked on this for the KSSU nostalgia but ended up really enjoying it! you got a real good voice for narration and your more casual script with the more adept editing is really fun! streaming and recording popoffs would be a good idea too though

Pleasant surprise when RU-vid randomly recommends me a small channel and it’s good content

That Galatica Knight guy looks pretty cool

This takes me back to when I grinded the true arena when I was a kid. When I read the title I knew immediately that Galacta Knight and Marx Soul would be… taxing to say the least. The paint attack from Marx Soul is difficult to dodge but not impossible: during the initial frames of Kirby’s jump he has invincibility and lasts for about a fifth of his jump height and if you want to bend the rules a little you could inhale the attacks as well. The ice bomb attack Marx drops can be jumped over as it hits the ground. Galacta knight has 4 possible moves when he runs up to you: A swipe, shooting a beam from his shield, a barrage of energy slashes, and sending a shockwave through the ground. The first three attacks can be dodged by crouching and the last attack has a big windup so you can react and jump away. My final nitpick is the Wheelie boss. If you fly against the edge of the screen Wheelie will almost always crash into it letting you attack them. Despite my criticism I enjoyed the video a lot and may try this challenge as well.

MAD RESPECT FOR DOING SOMETHING TEDIOUS !!!

This takes me back to when I tried to do challenge runs of this game as a kid. From just Helper to Hero speedruns (managed to get I think 4 minutes with Bonkers and everyone else to under 10 minutes except maybe Sir Kibble?) to the final challenge of a damageless, no copy ability run of The True Arena. I don't think I ever finished that last one lol

Just mod the game so copy can't copy abilities

I love the use of Wario land 4 sound effects in the video

I played Super Star Ultra on the DS just the other day! Also hammer is broken as hell and mirror is awesome.

That final boss was nerve wrecking...

KSSU is the best, I love kirby games but man this one is the cream of the crop

This was actually a really great video, I'm really surprised that your channel isn't more popular

Idk if this particularly applies to SSU (haven't played it), but in other Kirby games, the puff of air that shoots when you stop hovering does damage, so if you really wanted to be a purist and keep Copy the whole way without cheats you *might* be able to do it with that for the minibosses, but I don't think anyone's that crazy. Either way great work, good job and I'm excited to see more from you! It takes a lot of skill to pull something like this off, and I'm glad you were able to overcome it!

Big fan of seeing kirby stuff and Im glad youtube recommended me this. Keep it up man it was super enjoyable

banger amazing video also little big planet 2 mentioned

KSSU was definitely one of my favorites as a kid, this was awesome to see. I'll be tuning in for more!

I love the new facial expression Kirby makes mid-animation with the fighter ability

finally i find someone who appreciates how good this game is (best kirby game)

Was awesome to see an old fav game of mine played in an interesting way. Good Job! was a rough fight but you did it. An extreme challenge would be to do it without dyeing at all like the Area is built to be a single run all the way through. But you'd probably want to practice a bunch on bosses to get better with the attack patterns and timing between scan hits. You got skills good luck!

16:48 10/10 censoring there (love this video I’m subscribing now)

This was so interesting to watch after all kid me couldn't comprehend doing something like this.

This is a nightmarish task you’ve placed upon yourself. Good work!

3:07 disregard the previous comment I had made, clearly I should have watched more LMAO, thanks for featuring my clip Yeah, that's why I had the "(...mostly)" part of my title there. I was determined to do everything else still, 10 damage be damned (and it was part of a video series where I did the True Arena with every ability too, so obviously disregarding Sleep, I didn't leave any stone unturned)

I actually recently beat the True Arena with every ability. For Copy, I just made a helper during the mid-boss section lol. I'd still rather use Copy over Fire, that's for sure 🤣

"You can't dodge Marx Soul's paint balls" *Laughs in Stone* Sure, it's cheesy, but it still works. ;)

6:55 "Mr Triple D" if you're a fan of the anime (iirc)

Very impressive!

Since guarding does damage, you can actually defeat all the mini-bosses by guarding on them without ever losing the copy ability.

Dude u deserve more recognition the editing on video is actually on top and very nice video

For what it's worth, I feel like using that force ability cheat only facilitates the challenge, rather than invalidating it. The title is not "without losing the Copy ability", it's, "Only using" which means that using a cheat to enforce the rule doesn't seem wrong to me.

Nice video, always loved this ability. Shame it never came back, wish they could have made a full moveset for it.

only 353 subs? RU-vid is missin out, great content here

"Kirby games are easy" mfs when they learn about the True Arena... Also I always thought Wham Bam Jewel was made of Ice

Made me pop out my copy of Kirby superstar ultra

Asking the true questions and giving the real answers

Cool video, can you try beating true arena using only parasol dash attack?

IK how u feel I've 100%ed this game over and over my fav challenge is just using suplex but honestly its kinda good once you get used to it so idk how much of a challenge it really is

Enemies take one (1) damage when they touch you in the guarding state, including bosses. That could have been your out for True Mid-Boss All-Stars

In superstar original there was actually a sweet spot where you wouldn’t copy I am assuming it’s not in this game

I've seen ProsafiaGaming do it, it's possible to do the paintball attack from Mark Soul damageless. Perhaps you flinched when you should've scurried, or you didn't have an upward attack.

KSS is the best kirby game. and while I prefer the original SNES version (mostly nostalgia since it was possibly my first EVER video game when I was very little and because the faux-3d sprites and backgrounds from the KSSU version aren't my cup of tea, which is one of the issues I had with that era of kirby games tbh) KSSU is also insanely good.

im surprised the 10 fights together took 18 ingame minutes

sure, i’ll subscribe to this channel. why not.

For the mini bosses ya coulda used Tac and just not interfere, I feel. Another small youtuber (who likes Kirby as well) who's also black and has great editing skills AND uses Wario Land 3 sfx?? Hold this sub

Try a different challenge: have the copy ability on you by the final boss

6:03 Track?

ok but what copy ability are you using?

For the mini-boss rushes, maybe you could use the slide to damage them?

video rules, commenting for the algorithm

What if you use 2 players, and the second one uses TAC? Can't he beat the sub-bosses?

I Just did the same thing but I almost had it, its almost hard to beat

With rock ability no is more hard? Because some bosses keep in your place and you need to back to kirby form and receive free damage

Now do it in one run without savestates. Jokes aside this is still very impressive. I definitely could not do it on my own.

Ah, well done... But did you ever try Copying a Scarfy? ;)

What are your thoughts on Kirby and the amazing mirror?

6:00 I NEED the song

Lbp2 was the goat back then

ts fih!!

now without savestates

24:42 🐥

Wow they really doesn't like people talking photos

Thought you had like at minimum like 1k subs lmao

omg im number 111 Nkrumaniac

What T.A.C. means? Youre an T.A.C., right?

really, a black guy?
