Pow blocks and p switches have little LEDs inside them. Coins, being just a gold alloy reflect light. Thus, if there's very little light, there's nothing to reflect. The bigger 10, 30, and 50 coins aren't actually coins, they're coin shaped pinatas with the listed amount inside, so they can also have a little LED. It's all perfectly logical.
The Canadian level also gave you a free safety 30 coin at the end, which also feels pretty Canadian, kinda like "you tried your best eh? Have a 30 on me"
That's not what a "safety coin" is. The safety coin is a technique used to prevent key death in red coin levels with multiple challenge rooms and reusable checkpoints. It's a single red coin you place right before a key door, often behind a one-way to keep players from collecting it prematurely.
If you watched his last twitch stream Aid he admits that he drinks himself because he said that he kept having deaths on the fourth level of each endless run when he was trying to do deathless and because he said something he started dying on like the second and third levels
@AndyWitmyer If there are cases of something being good, then it's not intrinsically bad. *Generally* bad, sure, but not intrinsically. All design elements are tools, and tools exist to be used where they're most appropriate. You don't hit a nail with a saw. Doesn't mean the saw is a bad tool, though.
December 2, 2021 he had an actual 500 second speedrun. He beat it with 5 seconds to spare. It was a one-screen thing with a single pair of doors that broke a block every time you made a loop and then gave the clear condition after you went through the door with all the blocks gone.
11:57. I guess the "logic" behind coins not glowing in the dark is the fact that they reflect light, whereas P-switches and POW blocks somehow create their own. Doesn't really explain how the bigger coins do glow. Larger surface area maybe, to reflect what little light there is
3 mehs, 1 💙, 7 redacted. 17:15 Ah, pretty good, but was it good enough to ❤? That's what the world wants to know. 11:56 Is it? Coins heavily reflect light, but aren't themselves light sources. POWs, on the other hand, contain a large amount of destructive energy. XD 13:37 New Super Mario Bros: The Pharaoh's Curse. 23:18 Yeah, it's been a long time since you've done a Super Expert two-parter. August 26, 2023 was such a long time ago. XD GG on the good run!
Coins reflect light because they are shiny, thus no source of light means in the dark they are not bright. P-switches look translucent like some sort of night light things, it’s not much of a stretch to say they could have lightbulbs in them. POW blocks may be opaque but I could totally see them being coated in some kind of UV reactive luminescent paint. Bullet proof logic indeed..
The dark level was actually just the snow themed title-screen level with minor edits (power-ups -> vines, bonus spikes, etc.) so I think that's how you were supposed to know where the coins were
What I love about ryukahr is his ability to always produce the same type of wholesome gaming content. I know too many people feel the need to keep changing everything up all the time, or start to cater only to adults (I'm an adult) and I believe this channel caters to families.
Try changing the contrast on your computer when it comes to dark levels. FYI it might hurt the eyes but you will be able to see things in the dark but it helps tho
'literally gonna make the difference' honestly the first time you got the 1 up for the top of the flagpole. i'd count it. 'this has to be a lie' choses to simply die instead. maybe it is, but its better than simply dying for no reason.
I'm watching on youtube but the second half isn't posted here. And playlists on the channel aren't grouped by expert clears or 100 life challenges or such, makes life watching more difficult. Doh
didn't you had a 2 part endless less than a month ago? first time you see a real canadian, you'll need to ask "are you a mario maker level creator?" if yes, never trust him
Because there's literally millions of them. The chances to get any particular levels are astronomically low. I think he accepts viewer submitted levels sometimes, though.
