Speedrunners Beat Bowser's Fury in Under 18 MINUTES!

bowser's fury has already been out for over a year and the speed runs have gotten insanely optimized there's four categories you can speedrun any percent no amiibo any percent bowser amiibo 100 shines no amiibo and 100 shines bowser amiibo the fastest out of them all is any percent bowser amiibo which is what we'll be checking out today in order to attempt this run you're gonna need one of the bowser amiibo as you'll be using it a lot more than you may think since this is an amiibo heavy run it's important to know how to use one as effectively as possible now of course you can use any of the authentic bowser amiibo but they're a bit large and clunky so it's better to buy an nfc chip for free and program bowser's data into it i won't go into detail about making your own nfc card but it took me less than 20 minutes to do on my own it's not very complicated but anyway to scan an amiibo you'll use the right joystick on a joy-con or the switch logo on a pro controller while also holding left on the d-pad sometimes the game will refuse to spawn bowser so to combat this you want to tap the top d-pad twice quickly when exiting the power-up inventory skinning the amiibo again will spawn bowser every time you'll also need to get familiar with the basic controls which won't be explained here however there's some advanced techniques that are important for your run the biggest one being vectoring to do this simply jump forward continuously at 45 degree angles doing so will allow you to get faster and faster over time this works because when mario's in the air diagonally he gains extra speed for some reason and you don't lose your speed in the air which allows this exploit to be possible a great way to start vectoring is with a pounce you do this by running jumping and crouching to dive down with the catsu you can also use a scratch stall this is done by scratching in the air it allows you to travel farther distances while maintaining your speed the cat's suit is gonna be vital to your run so it's best to never lose it with plessy there's an advanced technique that lets you go faster through the water which is surprisingly easy to pull off as you know you can jump in the air with plus c and gain speed but if you push y and b or x and a at the same time right before leaving the water plus you will gain speed without flying through the air now that you know the controls your run can officially begin mario starts with his head in the dirt and immediately the vectoring begins you can vector across the entire ship and at the end you just need to wall jump and dive to get the first catch sign if it isn't obvious you're also going to want to spam plus or minus to skip every cutscene once back into the game roll off the starting platform and head towards the ground as you'll see diving towards the ground is much faster than jumping down so you'll do that whenever you need to fall down long distances then you'll approach bowser junior and you have two viable options you can opt for bowser jr to not help or to help a lot however most people just go with none since junior's ai won't get distracted as easily so before getting your catsuit you can start vectoring faster by rolling and then jumping for a quick burst in speed from here you'll use the pointer and aim bowser jr at the first cat shine chart while junior is doing that you'll need to grab the cat suit that's hiding in this bush again use bastard jr to get the second shard high up in the air so you don't have to climb and this is the first of many times you'll scan your amiibo now typically you only see fury bowser after a set amount of time but you're gonna force them into the game as often as possible with this speedrun when fury bowser spawns grab the third shard in the crevice of the mountain and use bowser jr to get to the fourth shard hiding behind the gate now this shard can take some practice i found that once i got bowser jr on the right half of the gate he'll get sent into the room with the shard then you'll point the cursor to the water in the background towards the left and dive off right after after that stand in front of these bowser blocks wait for bowser's breath to break them apart and you'll grab your second shine the main reason we're going to keep spawning fury bowser is because every cat shine does a little bit of damage to him and the damage dealt carries over into the next fury bowser fight this is why you'll spawn him dozens of times in this run for that reason it's to be assumed that you need to spawn fury bowser before every shine unless i say otherwise from there you'll jump into the water and head towards fort flaptrap on the way there point foster jr towards the shard in the tree grab this shard on the ground and stand in front of these bowser blocks while waiting for bowser to break these blocks open have junior collect the third shard next to the lighthouse and grab your third shine from there once that's done head towards the entrance of fort flap trap and a mini cutscene begins with catboy spawning in while that's happening use bowser jr to grab the fourth shard hiding above this blue platform once that's done hit this hidden block to reveal a star as you're taking out the cat bullies instead of getting that cat shine you'll jump off the side to break this block and get to the final cast shard for four flap trap once that's done head back to the other cat shine you just saw and grab it for your fifth shine now that you have five cat shines it's time to actually fight fury bowser this fight is pretty straightforward you'll start by heading over to the end of pounce mounts isle when bowser lands start scratching him when he's about to stomp the ground turn around jump and do a cat dive into the lighthouse this will prevent mario from flying back from bowser's stomp simply repeat this over and over until he's gone and from there you'll unlock more of the map and have to push the a button a bunch of times before doing anything else though you'll want to grab the white and brown cat and right before throwing it to the mama spawn fury bowser for cat shine 6. it's important to note that for every shine that isn't a part of an island you have to visibly watch bowser's health deplete because it'll deal double the damage i'll highlight which signs to do this for so you'll know for sure once that's done it's finally time to use the beagle fella plessy with him you'll dip into the water try to hit the goop near the bottom of plessy's dive and jump off the edge with a plessy boost if done right you'll fly high into the air to grab your first shine and pounce bounce aisle timing this is not easy but there is a backup i found if you get enough height to get near the top you can simply dismount plessy and get the shine after that once that's done simply jump towards this floating cat shine if you don't have plessy you can still do this next shine with a well-timed jumping cat dive or you can just grab plessy jump and dismount at the peak after that you take plessy to the purple button and pounce bounce isle and get to the top as fast as possible now it's time for more shard collecting you'll start by running over to the one closest to you and using bowser jr to nab the one perched in the air on the top left when that's done you'll grab plessy climb up here and use bowser jr to get this shard atop the block steppers then you'll point them to the chart above that and finally head to the nearest bowser blocks with the propeller hat on when going for block specific shines you need to spawn bowser in the correct spot so he'll spawn in the right place once those break go ahead and grab shine number 10. the main reason you need the propeller is for shine 11. that's because you have to do two bowser jr bounces to launch yourself at the top of pounce bounce aisle as well as grab the fifth shard from here you should be right next to the key so you'll just grab that and run down to the cage as fast as you can following that you'll run to this question mark block to spawn a propeller and then use two bowser junior jumps to get yourself to the very top of scamper shores for the shine then immediately send bowser jr to the final cat shard that you left behind a while ago to nab the next shine after that you'll dive down and land right on plessy to take out the fury shadow generally speaking you want to try to prevent fury shadow from climbing up the wooden path to get this shine the fastest and that gives us 15 already which means it's time for the second fury bowser fight since fury bowser has dealt so much damage the strategy is a lot simpler you'll dive towards him do a scratch or two and then throw a spiky wooden peg at him there should be at least one nearby when he's down cat dive into his belly and ground pound near or on a peg to grab it right away once you throw the second peg cat dive again and he should be down for the count the next shine is super easy you'll just hop onto plessy and turn around and wait for bowser to break his conveniently placed blocks but instead of collecting that shine you'll use the peg to get a super high jump with plessy in order to reach slipskate slope's lighthouse shine that's when you'll jump back down and get the bowser block shine back to plessy you'll head on over to trickety tower and bounce your way up to the very top if done right you'll land near the first cat chart which also puts you really close to the hole in the tower with another shine after that you'll push bowser jr towards the wall of the tower and aim your cursor to the next shard that's almost right next to us looking up you'll use the pointer again and guide bowser jr to the third shard when you leave the pipe simply look up and left to have bowser jr nab the fourth shard and before getting the fifth one you just run up the path so bowser can break his blocks for another shine the fifth and final shard is really easy since it's out in the open securing us 20 cat shines after this you'll hop on to plessy and jump towards the shine floating in the air head towards chris clinton castle and hit this question mark block for a propeller it's time to build up some hyper speed by crouching over and over off these two sheets of ice you can build an incredible amount of speed and reach the tipped boat if you're struggling with that you can also use the ice in front of the cat archway it's really up to you after a few well-timed jumps you'll be able to continue over to the shine first on the edge of the bridge i personally found this trick to be pretty difficult to do and unfortunately you're gonna need to pull it off in order to continue this run once you're on the bridge you're gonna fly into the air and use a couple of bowser jr bounces to get some height near the top from there aim junior at this shard towards the top left and then the bottom left junior should grab both of the shards this way and while that's happening you can hop back down to the bottom next to the bowser blocks and let bowser bust those things open after that you'll immediately fly off to the right and have junior get the third shard and have him bounce off you a couple times to get to the pipe above you you definitely have to be careful here to move away from the wall for a second or you'll get stuck below it once at the top have junior collect the fourth shard far out on the left side and finally grab the shine in front of you after that you'll build a bit of speed and send mario flying towards an island while that's happening have junior grabbed the final shard for pipe path tower the hard part now is getting junior to cooperate and bounty twice while continuing to move forward if done right you'll end up reaching one of the islands in the sky for another shine there's a few things to know to help make this easier mario keeps his speed midair for about eight seconds before slowing down swiping resets the 8 seconds and also helps maintain height for a moment like regular swipe stalling if you want to ensure a junior bounce get him to bounce you right after a swipe once that's done run back across and use the first spring pull you see with the propeller jump you'll get a ton of speed and height and make your way to risky whisker island once you land you'll hit fury shadow once jump down to the bowser blocks and wait for bowser to show up while waiting you'll use junior to get two shards one of them on the left side and the other perched high in the air once that's done bowser should just about be breaking the block for you to get another shine after that fly into the air and do a bowser junior bounce to get to the top while also using junior to get the third shard on the cloud and hit the fury shadow then you'll fly to fury shadow to attack him one more time and get another shine once that's done hop down below aim junior at the shard next to you and you'll grab the last one yourself with a small jump there's a lot of fast junior pointing going on in this segment but this next shine is pretty easy as you'll just propel or jump to the 30th shine immediately from that do a tiny dive and propeller jump to the bully fight right up ahead this fight has some tight cycles that makes it difficult to predict which pipe the bully will come out of but generally speaking if you stay near the middle you can clear this one pretty quickly once that's taken care of you'll head straight across with more propeller and bowser junior jumps you'll use junior to get this first shard next to the fire bro and the second in between these two platforms the third one is really easy since you'll just plow through these blocks and grab it from behind and the fourth shard is underneath these rocks so junior will nab that before getting the final shard you'll aim bowser at this wall and then click towards the bunny all the way at the bottom this will force junior to touch the bunny for a shine and another shine for climbing the mountain will spawn immediately after that after this the cycle should be set up so you can easily propel or jump to the shine on the floating island this is why you fly backwards towards gazing over the falls and lean the camera towards magmeow as you head towards the fury shadow this cycle is determined by how much you look at the island once that's done dive your way to the very bottom and get the bowser blocks from mount magnum next it's time to hop back on plessy but before doing that you'll grab the final shard for the mount of the max then with plessy simply complete this plussy ring as normal you'll need to take the small shortcut as i'm sure you guessed although fun fact you can maintain the speed from boost pads by jumping a bit after using them this shine takes us right back to fort flaptrap so now is the time to grab the blue coins you'll grab all the ones on the flipping platforms but use junior to get the rest from there you'll jump on the grate line up junior on the green wall and click at the rabbit i recommend aiming the rabbit near the top of the camera so you have more ground area to aim at like with the other one junior will be forced to warp with him getting you another shine since you're already at fort flap trap the cat magikoopas will immediately spawn so you'll use a combination of junior and your cast wipes to take them out with 40 shines in hand it's time to fight fury bowser for the third and final time you'll start by jumping up to him and start scratching as soon as he can you'll have caused so much damage from the other shines that just two scratches will take him out and you'll start the final boss way earlier than you're supposed to now it's time for the final trick you'll start this fight by completely bypassing the first three ramps and heading right towards this fourth ramp once you're there take these boost panels and slide towards the right and try to hit the side of the ball once that's done dive right away and do a plessy jump to hit the side of the ball again bowser is gonna be completely fan dangled at this point so you'll actually have to turn around facing away from bowser and slightly hit the lower front side of the ball with some speed this will knock you back but also line you up for the final hit and that is the fastest way to beat bowser's fury currently with the current record being a whopping 17 minutes and 35 seconds by xvexon a special thank you to the bowser's fury discord server for ensuring accurate speedrun information with that i'll talk to you all soon [Music]
