VG Myths - Can You Beat Super Mario Sunshine Without Hovering?

Good morning Everybody and welcome to VG myths the online internet video game TV show dedicated to ruining Shigeru Miyamoto's life. In Super Mario Sunshine You play as everybody's second favorite plumber on a quest to clean the world's biggest graffiti (wait what) disaster with your new water gun jet pack But let's be honest a jet pack in a platforming game is a little bit op So tonight we're doing without. Can you beat Super Mario Sunshine without the hover nozzle? The rules are as simple as simple gets spraying the hover nozzle is totally banned all other nozzles including the rocket nozzle and sonic nozzle (gotta go fast) are allowed but since those nozzles are only available for specific parts of the game, we'll mostly be limited to Mario's basic movesets Our first roadblock comes right at the beginning of the game with shine number two We need to climb up the vine-covered windmill which normally functions as a tutorial for the hover nozzle The first couple jumps are easy But the third jump has vines directly blocking the way in sunshine Mario carries heavy momentum in the direction He was last moving when he leaves the ground. So just jumping around the vines It's easier said than done but there's a secret quirk in the game's mechanics We can abuse normally mario can't change direction in midair, but there's an exception mario can always change the direction He's facing while an aim mode if we use a mode to turn mario in mid-air his Momentum will shift in whatever direction he's facing making it possible to move in an arc around the vines the second tricky spot comes a while down the line with Pinna Parks pirate ride red coin shine. six of the eight red coins can be obtained with some pretty simple albeit tedious jumping but the other two are in a platform that took some doing to figure out how To get to the front end of the second pirate ship is what worked for me wait for it to be about Horizontal with the ground then side flip off as long as the ship doesn't make you start to slide. It's easy Next up is Noki Bay We've got two big roadblock shines to tackle here which tasks us with maneuvering underwater while wearing a fishbowl while wearing this high-tech scuba bowl Mario loses the ability to swim but in exchange gains the ability to shoot himself up with the hover nozzle But since this is a no hover run we can't do that. Leaving us sitting dead in the water All we can do is turn left turn right move forward move backward and use the spray nozzle Which does absolutely nothing but by some absolutely ludicrous divine happenstance the red coin in a bottle shine is still Completely obtainable there's a jet stream accessible from ground level but let's uh skip most of the way up the bottle without Hovering this puts six of the eight red coins in our reach but the other two are too high and far from the jet stream To reach while using it. There's just one saving grace think about it Where does Mario spawn for this shine at the top of the bottle above both of the red coins We need to get. This means both red coins are within our reach but it also means we only get a single chance to obtain Both of them. If we miss either during our descent There's no going back up and we have to retry the level. Grabbing both in one descent is no cakewalk Requiring a very specific set of actions. You'll need to move a bit forward to grab the first red coin That's the easy part Now the second red coin is a bit behind And to the right of where we spawn and we don't have enough time to turn around to face it That means we'll have to position ourselves that it's directly behind us and rush Backwards without being able to see where we're going and hope we hit the red coin I found the best course of action is to wait just slightly to start moving after grabbing red coin 1 if you move immediately then even if you aim properly you might overshoot above red coin two. Additionally the game is going to fight you for camera control So you're gonna want to wiggle the camera left and right on Mario's back Preventing the game from ever turning it so far that it stops. Mario's backward momentum after a couple hundred dozen retries You should get lucky enough to hit both red coins in a single shot Allowing you to do your victory lap for the other six But we're not done with Noki Bay yet. Immediately after the red coin bottle We have to dawn our PhD and help out an eel with his dental hygiene in order to complete this Boss fight we have to clean all aid of the eels teeth at first I was thinking we'd need to keep ourselves constantly Above the eel spraying its teeth as we go down and letting it spit us back up But we're quickly going to run low on air and need to refill It is possible to get back up when the eel retracts, but this is pretty random There is luckily a total oversight on the developers part that makes this boss battle super easy. When in the scuba Sections the spray nozzle seems to completely ignore all surfaces rather than stopping the stream when it meets an object the stream clips through and continues past it. As a Result we can still clean the Eels teeth even from ground level by shooting water Straight through its infinitely porous skin We do still need to be concerned about our air But we can refill it both with coins on ground level and by drinking the eels salty tears. I'm not joking I'm serious. You can drink the eels tears. My whole life I thought they were poison obstacles, but no run right into them They deal one damage then refill you to full. Salty, but delicious after delivering a dental hygiene PSA We're teleported high into the water letting us to send straight on to the shine There's one more roadblock before the final level Which is ironically a shine where you start without the hover nozzle in Pianta Village shine 3 You have to reach the mayor on this golden mushroom and talk to him to get the shine Normally after re obtaining flood we'd used the hover nozzle to edge ourselves up without it We have to work with the super limited area We're given the mushroom acts as a roof over the highest available ground the jump from which gives us almost no room to move I spent a long time Looking at potentially jumping to it from elsewhere like the giant tree in the center of the level But getting up that thing is its own challenge way more trouble than it's worth instead We're gonna make use of our old friend the midair turn Mario's most capable Jumping option is the triple jump which requires us to jump up three times in a row and have a little bit of forward speed we have just enough space to make the third jump around the left edge of the mushroom and the triple jump gives just enough height if we Go into aim mode right as we leave the ground We'll have enough time to face the mushroom and hopefully land on top after finishing pianta village. It's time for the final challenge Corona Mountain. Welcome to die Everything comes together to make this the hardest hoverla challenge in the game spike platforms are near guaranteed death if you miss time Fire platforms force you to stay and spray them along the way and the platforms are all at huge Distances here we'll be making constant use Of the spin jump dive technique by pressing a and B at the same time Mario will do a jumping dive Carrying the height of his jump with the extra speed from a dive We can further modify this by doing a spin jump giving us a relatively easy to execute super long-distance jump We need a bit of time to execute and properly aim it though So on this time-sensitive platform and challenge We're gonna be cutting it Ludicrously close. Do it perfectly and eventually you'll get that perfect sequence of inputs and make it all the way to the end What restaurant do you normally eat at I don't (geez harsh) oh My god, okay Nice okay. Okay. Let's do this. Let's do it. Let's do it (ok you do that) Oh God scary Nice we're safe, we're safe, okay - weird laughing - - voice crack -Um Okay be extremely ludicrously overly careful on the boat You do not wanna mess up now reach the rocket nozzle and you're home free with Bowser relaxing family vacation Rudely interrupted the 'Super Mario Sunshine fludd's life was meaningless' run is mission completes before we go I'd like to give credit to youtubers SCYKOH and hinglemccringleberry- great name LOL - 26 both of whom have videos about the run that were used for reference Additionally I did the entire run in a single sitting on stream link to the archive in the description special Thanks to all patreon backers including Eric Flynn.
