Is it Possible to Beat Super Mario 64 DS Without Mario? 

NB: Can’t advance without Mario Adeal: *I’m going to save this man’s whole career*

Playing only as Yoshi feels like playing a demo version of the game

Props to Adeal for just coming up with a glitch on the fly

not only did adeal save this run, he found a technique that was never known, therefore making a name in the sm64 speedrunning history

Nathaniel:I can't progress any further Adeal: *I'm in*

Nintendo: *Puts a barrier so that mario is needed* NB,speedrunners & adeal: "I'm gonna stop you right there"

Ain’t you Nathaniel B?

14:05 “I had to feel my way around for Bowser’s opening” I’m gonna pretend I did not hear that

Adeal is such a legend, he completely saved this run. He literally discovered a new speedrun route, just for this video.

"Yeah, there is no known way of doing this. Actually..." *1 hour later* "Well, there is a way now."

It’s nice to know that the version of Mario 64 I grew up with is almost as broken as the original.

Super Mario 64 DS without Mario is just Super 64 DS

"had to to feel my way around, and look for Bowsers opening" ~Nathaniel Bandy 2019

*Mario appears out of nowhere after defeating the last bowser fight* Mario : All me baby

Ain’t u Nathaniel b?

“Yes, i’m about to go unlock Luigi while using the Luigi cap before unlocking Luigi” **ad pops up** HavE YoU BeEN A ViCtUm Of iDeNtiTy ThEiFT?

"Yes, I'm about to go unlock Luigi while using the Luigi cap before unlocking Luigi" I used the Luigi to save the Luigi

Nathaniel: I can't progress any further without mario *Adeal has joined the game*

NB: *tries to beat Mario w/o Mario* Also NB: *unlocks Luigi with Luigi*

14:05 ayo holup

Are we just gonna overlook that fact that nathanial just caused the creation of a new speedrun trick

I like how yoshi, luigi and wario literally had to break the boundaries of reality and physics to rescue the princess without mario

I always thought Mario was really holding back the Mario series

I know what you are

This Adeal guy is such a legend. Shout-outs to anybody who help in the SM64DS speedrunning discord

*Luigi kills bowser* *Mario teleports behind luigi* Mario: That cake was for me.

Luigi: *kills Bowser* Mario: *teleports with malicious intent*

Hold up, ain’t you Nathanial B

Weird story: It was 2021, and I was in my first year of college. It was one of the first in-person lessons after covid, so it was basically like everyone meeting eachother for the first time. Me, being the socially awkward weirdo I am had brought my 2ds into college to pass some time before the lesson (I got to college around an hour early on most days). A small group of people from my class were hanging around in a back computer room, so I joined them. I opened my ds and started playing Mario 64 ds, which was the game I had with me at the time. Someone notices me playing and comes over to watch. We start up a small conversation (finding out we were both as socially awkward as eachother). The conversation then turns to Mario 64 ds. I show her how to get on top of the ending room of the secret slide, and she brings up this exact video, which we then watch together. She became my best friend. Fast forward a couple of years, and she's now my girlfriend. So yeah, had it not been for this video, I probably would have been alone throughout my three years of college. TL:DR this video helped socially awkward me find a friend who later became my girlfriend.

"There is no known way to enter the 12 star door without Mario." 10 minutes later* "I might have an idea."

Nathaniel: *Beats Super Mario 64 DS without using Mario* Nintendo: Wait that's illegal

Peach: -Mario! The stars have been restored to the castle, and it's all thanks to you! Yoshi: -EXCUSE ME?

Oh wow, I never realized how broken the DS version was...

I can't believe this video led to finding an entirely new glitch. Impressive.

11:05 Yoshi's a hippy. "hug this wall" 😹

props to adeal for discovering an entirely new glitch too make this run happen

Super 64 DS

18:06 luigi, wario and yoshi: does all work mario: teleports behind luigi and takes credit

Aint yoy nathaniel b?

My mind is blown. I've put hundreds of hours into this game and never thought to do any of those glitches. How people discover them is mind boggling.

Is it possible to beat Mario 64 ds without Adeal?

"I had to feel around for a bit for Bowser's opening" Nathaniel Bandy 2019

AYO aint this nathanial b?

Ain’t you Nathaniel b?

"this is possible without mario" *mario appears out of thin air* mario: "you cannot escape me"

Game: You can’t pass without Mario Adeal: Hold my beer

Ain’t you Nathanial B?

My man discovered a new route just for this video.

Well, It was actually surprisingly simple! **does quantum physics**

D-did Adeal just find a new skip?

ain't u Nathaniel B???

I love the little charming feeling you get when you know you're doing something in a game that you're not supposed to

This video is honestly really inspiring. A few new clips were discovered just to beat the game without Mario

8:29 *I used the Luigi to obtain the Luigi*

Ain’t u Nathaniel B????

You can’t handle me

My new favorite phrase: "I had to feel my way around and look for Bowser's opening"

0:58 NB: "No easy way to get to the floating islands" Owl: Am I a joke to you?

Ain’t u Nathaniel B?

First time I played this one, I tried as long as possible to avoid unlocking Mario. It was an unusual kind of fun!

Mario: You need me to beat the game and get the cake. Yoshi, Luigi and Wario: Not this time.

The green dinosaur does not care what baby penguins think when he's hungry

Bro it’s Nathaniel B

I’ve watched this video like 5 times already. It’s just so entertaining to watch!

Mario wins by doing absolutely nothing

"I couldn't do star 2 because baby penguins don't like being eaten by green dinosaurs." Actually, it is possible to do CCM star 2 with Yoshi by eating and spitting the penguin out over and over again in the direction of the momma penguin. How did I find this out? I was a stupid kid when I first played this game and thought that was the only way to do it.

Honestly a speedrunner being like nah it not possible and immediately then going ok now lets make it possible is such a speedrunner thing to do. Like they are a different breed, they the kind of people who saw that final mario maker level, learned that the creator lied about it being possible and then said 'I gonna pretend I never heard that' and proceeded to keep trying to beat it legit anyway

Ain't u Nathaniel 🅱️?

Nathaniel: *Sigh* Adeal: No worries bro I got an even easier method. Get the reference?

"Dear Mario," *"You are not allowed in the castle."*

This is one of my favorite videos on RU-vid. Not completely sure why

I've watched this video soo many times, why? This was one of the first games I ever played and the fact Nathaniel did all this, just mindblows me

Luigi wins by doing absolutely Everything

Honestly the glitches in the DS Version are way cooler than the glitches in the N64 version.

"I had to jump my way around to look for Bowser's opening."

6:13 I love th little Victory dance he does😂

Theory: Is Super Mario 64 DS is a canonical Yoshi's Island 3D game?

14:05 "Had to feel my way around and look for Bowser's Opening." Eww...

Fun Fact: Water Storage is a thing in another glitch with Wario, grabbing a sign and using the Power Flower for Metal Wario. On the first star through, to get to the tip of the ship then you’ll slide down and stay underwater walking.

We did it. We found Nathaniel B. Now, to find out Obama’s last name…

“After Luigis big boo level I was finally granted access to Luigi.” And that’s the game completed. Luigi is the best character and you can just helicopter everywhere

This video is going to be great for the super mario 64 DS community 👍

Nathaniel's videos are perfect for watching when eating

I like the fact some of your videos are very long. It's very nice to watch and also listen to!

“I had to feel my way around for bowser’s opening”

18:04 **Mario appears out of nowhere** Mario- ‘man that was easy don’t know what you guys are complaining about’

such a good video, ive watched it like a half dozen times and its still good

Did anyone else notice Adeal and Nathaniel made a new tactic to do a no mario speedrun

Peach's letter was adressed to: Who it may concern

Okay but his adeal guy is an actual legend They discovered an entirely new speedrun trick never thought of before in 1 HOUR! Insane

Nathaniel b

this is one of my favorites if not my favorite video you have ever made

Adeal at this run : *_im gonna save this man's whole career_*

I wish they made a Nintendo switch version of this

No wonder this is Nathaniel's most watched video. It's amazing.

MY first ever Nathaniel bandy video and I've stayed a subscribed member for years

This is my favorite video on the internet Because of how well it represents the gaming community, they see someone is having trouble with something so they try to help and persevere. I am unironically so proud of this community. This belongs on trending.

Dear Yoshi, Wario, and Luigi, please come to the castle, i have baked a cake for you. -Princess Toadstool, Pinch
