13:00 He was also in NSMB:U before being in Luigi U, that said its still insane that he's the only thing to have a meaningful impact and stick around after the NSMB series
Some of my favorite videos of his is just... his genuine play through of Mario Odyssey and A Hat in Time. I fully get why he thinks needs a weird spin on them and he may be right, but I do enjoy just normal play throughs now and then
Haven't played the game, but from context clues i think the intended way to find the hidden blocks is by playing as specific characters. I think the hidden blocks become visible when specific characters come close, allowing certain characters to find specific parts more easily
I remember ducking around in that last room by myself and I just randomly jumped on a bubble and got that last one from pure luck, didn’t even know you could push the pipe
I'm gonna be kinda sad that the new main channel format doesn't allow for the same kind of stuff as the old Mario videos. I hope that Alphard still tries to make the main channel video more long form and relaxed like this video.
i think thats the difference between main channel and alpharad gold though. for main channel videos he writes scripts and puts effort into the videos and editing, meanwhile alpharad gold is for whenever jacob and jo play a game and wanna just record and post it
I discovered the main channel Alpharad through the original playthrough of Super Mario bros U deluxe, Jo became my favourite out of everyone. So for Jo to be revisiting his role as nabbit is the purest amount of joy I've had in forever
It was funny seeing you guys struggle aswell finding the moveable pipe. I searched with my brother forever to find that last one aswell. In the end we went into online mode and kept searching with other people until somebody found it. I think this level is specifically to try push the online feature, I really liked it.
100% worth it to gacha for signs rather than purchase the hidden block badge. At least the prediction of needing a badge to complete a level came true, good call.
The confusion on the last stage lol. I wonder if they haven't pushed a pipe prior to that one. I watched other playthroughs and I think there was a level prior to this one that introduces pipe pushing. I guessed they sped through it huh lol.
It definitely sounds stupid but the reason people were tilted about Bowser as the antagonist does in fact seem to be it was a very popular theory that wart would be back as he was from the dream world and wonder seemed to also be a dream
So people got disappointed for putting their hopes up for something that was never going to happen. I would say thats what you get for putting your hopes in inaccurate sources.
i just realized what the character blocks are. hidden blocks that reveal themselves to you if you are playing as the character on them. me and a friend were playing and one of us was yellow toad and we found the one coin thing really easily but now i see where the difficulty in that can happen if you dont use that specific character.
53:00 Haha I love that you used phone a friend for the second coin! I always have the internet connection on, we had 4 people running around like lunatics for about 10 minutes then someone pushed the pipe. They placed a standee right where the block is (which looks odd cos floating standee) which is how I noticed you can push the pipe. I then did the same for the remaining ghost and we all left together, online feature is great!
As an avid fan of this channel, I must say I’m very proud you’ve made it to October 21st with daily uploads with “new” games every day. I have had no faith since day one, and now I only almost have no faith♥️
I started believing in like february with that one parkour game, after that upload and hearing what y'all said in it, I had full faith y'all would finish. At that point it felt like more than a bit and I could feel the commitment
I love how Jo and Jacob want to get more flower coins to gamble, but WILL NOT go out of their own way to get the ones that give a free pull for each 10 coin you get
Bahahahaha it didn't even cross my mind that you could get stuck on the puzzle level if you didn't play the level where they introduced pushable pipes. God that's hilarious.
Being honest, I hoped you would get to september or october, so at least if you failed it wouldnt be that long of a wait to see more, but once yall got there, the day jo tweeted "not uploading today, see ya next year" i legit got sad that yall didnt make it
I started my playthrough of super mario bros. wonder (different from the demo) today too, had to learn that my little cousins learned what LSD was because of the memes associated... Hi colin
I was having a hard day and went to buy some booze, thinking about how this might be my hardest year yet. Then I thought of all how blessed I am that Alpharad Gold is still POPPIN and decided it's at least only my second hardest year thanks to you all. A huge and genuine thank you to EVERYONE INVOLVED (viewers included) for creating and supporting this wholesome ass community.
I can only count 5 isn't the primary antagonist or a willing antagonist in some way at some point: Mario Bros 2 (USA) (as they said) PM Color Splash (possessed by black paint) PM The Origami King (Folded in a calendar by Olly) Mario + Rabbids KB (Possessed by Mega Bug) M+R Sparks of Hope (Joins Mario and Gang in fight against Cursa)
One thing I immediately noticed is that this game feels a lot like A Hat in Time. Having badges that give you either abilities and passives and stuff. Or you could say it uses forbidden Paper Mario gimmicks.
I only found out about that hidden block star piece because online play was on and I saw someone pushing something, which told me pipes could be pushed. Then when I found it I was able to direct them to it!
As far as non-spinoff games go, the only games I can think of where Bowser is NOT an antagonist would be Super Mario Land 1 (Tatanga) and 2 (Wario), and potentially Super Mario RPG, the later Paper Mario series, and the Mario & Luigi series (if you don't count their scripted fights in the RPG/M&L series)
The mario anime ova is awesome not only does mario gets cucked but Luigi grinds for coins for the entire movie and saved the day because of it ( also hi jome )
I listen to videos while I do other things, so it was coincidental how you guys were stuck on this part the same time I was. (No pausing or anything.) We both found it at the same time with the help of your friend. So, yeah. In the words of Alpharad, “F..k this game!” 😂
I love hearing Jacob talk about an upcoming Sonic video that was supposed to be sponsored and released on the 22nd. It is currently the 24th, and that video is not out, so I assume Sega was unhappy with them showing glitches and canceled the sponsorship.
3D all-stars bangs, but I feel like you guys have earned the "Alpharad Platinum" reward. At least until you upload in February. Just a little 100% completion skin for the channel.
