Fun fact: When the devs found out about the screen transition trick at 3:00, they decided to implement it as an intentional feature so that it would be 100% consistent.
I'll be 100% honest I was not mentally prepared to see that happen.... Happy it can because it is really cool but still.
Pfff it's not a glitch
It's a feature
-devs 101
Yeah, that screen wrap looked way to clean to be a glitch, but man that was just so cool of the devs to do.
THAT is the way to respond to seeing a cool bug
They also added a neat sound effect to go with the spacetime-warp.
you know a challenge will be rough when within the first five minutes you have to break reality
God I hate it when that happens
To be fair, that screen wrap is a pretty old trick used in the speedrun, and Yacht Club Games are fully aware of it, but rather than patching it out, they actually put in a sound effect to acknowledge it.
@@SampleChample did you use final duet from Omori at 32:50??
What is reality anyways
So, I haven’t even started the video yet but this comment tell me this is going to be a treat
I love that this "no gold challenge" can only be beaten by judiciously spending what little gold you're forced to gain.
Well you can keep that gold now can you? You gotta spend it
@@GlitchKnight113 Unless your this mad lad who dosent anyways
@@Epicvibes999 he’s literally reffering to this “mad lad”, he does spend it
@@huang111 Litteraly at the end he says he dosent and only does the least amount instead of using it all
It's basically poverty with extra steps
I want this to be a speedrun category. The movement tech is just too crazy to not include in a speedrun.
Other than the frame perfect jumps in the iron whale I completely agree
might be cool but trying it myself the iron whale is NUTS to try to do that late into a run and the plains at the beginning take SO long from waiting for gems to despawn, doing that at the start of every attempt + the bottleneck of Treasure Knight would not make it particularly speedrun friendly
@@NatalieExists perhaps that could be fun, seeing people try to parkour their way around gem spawns instead of wait them out with the risk of a restart for the sake of speed may make the run way more interesting.
@@KizerRoll yea but a lot of the plains have no room for parkouring around the gems, that's the main problem
I would say that the Silver Play Button joke at the beginning is comedy gold, but I think that might break the rules of the run.

underrated comment
ON GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@Hooda the Antagonist who tf asked
@Hooda the Antagonist thats like saying no one asked this guy to breathe, yet he did anyway
I'd love to see a version of this as plague knight. He's got some weird movement that I'd love to see exploited
Same
Let's get this man alot of likes so he sees this
Hehe, “Exploited"
Would it be possible to get past the Lich Yard, though? Plague doesn't have access to the Fishing Rod, and the Bait Bomb explodes on a timer.
@@brockpiano if not, it can still be a min% challenge
This view is genuinely a masterclass in story telling, musical mood setting and an explanation of the human ability to push through adversity. . . And when to lean back on our creations for a little bit of help (tas) your challenge videos are like little movies and its mind boggling how small your channel is. As a writer im a true fan, please keep up the good work and happy pride.
28:34 Dude, there's literally a little sparkle animation that shows up over the gem's exact location every time you collect it. Great challenge and awesome job, it was funny to see you fumble on this very specific little thing though lol
I noticed that too lmao.
Scrolled down to see if someone else mentioned this or if I was crazy, because its so obvious. Great video though
this ^^^ was incredibly frustrating to watch lol
baffled by how he didnt notice that lol
The silver plate bit was so genius and seemless. This channel really is super underated. Also the music choice in this video was incredible. The last thing I expected was music from the original escapists
Speaking of silver plate look at that subscribe count
Edit: oh that was what you were talking about
I was pretty surprised at the Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors music pull, myself
What, personally, caught me off gaurd was hearing the Antibirth soundtrack. This man truly has impeccable music taste 👌
@@BooBoy456 I know right? Antibirth absolutely never misses with it's songs
@@pokedart9001 I literally learned of that game 3 days ago, watched a playthrough, and now the ost shows up on this video.
Must be telepathy :o
This guy really went from making a high quality kirby TAS explanation to consistenly putting out some of the best challenge videos on the entire platform AND more Kirby tas explanations. Like bruh this guy is amazing
A super glitchy TAS is always so interesting to watch
6:09 8:24 Always gotta appreciate the use of some Omori music. :D Love how you use it during the "I have a solution!" parts.
17:47 And for some tense moments too...
32:08 And the Duet for the nostalgic reflection on how far you've gotten?? Beautiful.
I just had to pause for a second when I realized that was playing. Man that song still gets me.
You know what music it is at 14:50?
@@insidious654 No idea
Omori fans try not to go insane as soon as anything is related to omori
@@Dr.Forest673 I literally just pointed out some timestamps.
I've been on a bit of a Sample binge lately and I just gotta say how much I appreciate your integrity with these challenges, as well as your consistent hubris throughout them all. This is one of the only challenge channels that never leave me wishing they'd done things differently, or that they hadn't bent the rules in one way or another. It's great. Perfectly encapsulates how I would want to approach these challenges should I ever try them myself.
genuinely got chills at tthat ending "what we did to get here" monolgue, and would love to see the other campaigns done moneyless
I got chills because of the song choice. Omori hits really fucking hard
Y'know I usually come into these kind of videos thinking "eh, maybe possible but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't" but this time I was fully convinced from the start that you'd have to pick up gold somewhere along the line, and that this would become a minimum gold challenge instead, but you absolutely nailed it with a ton of tricks I would have never imagined even existed! Really curious about the other characters, and if you'd be able to floor me once again.
also i can't believe you would use tas tools simply unbelieveable smh (on a slightly more serious note about that though, how exactly did you tas it? last I heard tasing pc games is pretty difficult unless you're on linux)
Yeah I always surprise myself when I don’t break the rules I usually fail all the time haha.
Also I used WSL to use libTAS on my windows computer, although I couldn’t actually get savestates to work. So although I did cheat, I couldn’t cheat very efficiently.
@@SampleChample But doesn't cheating lock the achievements, meaning that you didn't go by your rules
@@tugazu Wrong kind of cheat. It's not that a code was used, but that it was played, essentially, frame-by-frame.
Needing to use glitches makes it not possible in my opinion
@@handlesarestupid154 To be fair, things done with TAS are technically possible, it would just be astronomically difficult to pull off, but to each their own.
I was not expecting the duet as the final song... That caught me off-guard.
The game music throughout the video was incredible and very fitting.
Yeah the final duet form omori is one of my favorites songs
NO NO NO NO NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT WAS NOT THE DUET AT THE FINAL SONG. OMORI WAS EVERYWHERE. OMORI IS EVERYWHERE IN HIS VIDEOS.
CELESTE'S OSTS ARE ALSO QUITE COMMON.
and a bunch of other musics that i recognize but don't remember where they come from.
this guy is not only an artist at playing the game, but also a god at choosing the musics
There are some seriously cool strats in this one, cool stuff!
Here before this blows up
@@rubenperezalonso8726 same
This game, and the devs, deserve every bit of love. I once streamed some speedruns of this game as a little nobody for a month or two. The devs themselves came to visit and chat with me, a nobody on Twitch. Dudes are awesome.
Bro admitting to TAS'ing a section to not waste an extra hours of his life on this already hard af challenge is valid af
34:25 he also didnt (he couldnt figure out how to) use savestates
A delightful surprise to cap a video already full of them.
"hidden secret (delete later)" lol
Oh I didn’t know lol.
Cheating is based and grinding is cringe
@@alicecrawford1033 unless you do it to in a multiplayer versus game. But still I have the equivalent of a atom of respect because you don’t want to go through countless hours learning everything which is what multiplayer versus games have became.
This was one of the most neatly put together videos I’ve seen in a while. I loved this. I’m personally a sucker for the types of videos that make something that seems boring or monotonous on the surface into an actual story. With its ups, it’s downs, it’s struggles, it’s successes, and a heartfelt love letter at the end to everything we’ve went through to get there.
I’d totally love to see the other campaigns done in this same way
I love challenges like these; ones that seem almost impossible at a first glance but utilize strategies that most people wouldn't even think of to pull it off in an almost cinematic fashion. Also, I gotta say, the music selection for this video was on point. So many soundtracks from so many great titles. We had The Escapist, Hollow Knight, Celeste, even Minecraft at one point. I was especially surprised to hear multiple Omori songs considering I only just played the game like a month ago and hadn't seen anyone use the soundtrack yet. It makes me think about how many times I might have actually heard the soundtrack before playing the game. Anyways, great video, will definitely be checking out more.
OMORI fans currently in shambles
banger ost
???
This is so sad
@@cliffharvey3043 he used the ost from omori .
i love omori
God this game kicks ass. I literally cheered out loud when I saw this in my subscription feed. I'd absolutely love to see you try the other campaigns, especially with their much more evolved movement tech!
I love how hes like, “this trick took me so long to perfect” knowing damn well he TASed that shit
You really sound like you’re coming into your own with the commentary! I love it and can’t wait to see more!
Glad my knowledge from 2 player mode made me predict a lot of these. For example, the fishing rod can grab players as well. The locket can air stall. With those combined, me and my friend could basically save each other from pits
That's so awesome dude. I'm gonna use that knowledge now.
I never made it that far in co-op shovel knight to know that fishing other players was a thing 😭
Phenomenal vid, as always, you've got some of the highest effort and highest quality content on YT right now. Keep up the great work!
This is the first I’ve come across your channel… I just want to say how incredibly well put together this was. The challenge itself felt like it was made up of micro challenges, that pushed your creativity and then execution, but then carried into other parts of the game. Very fun to watch, I’ll be excited to watch your other content.
I love the production you put into the videos. like that montage at the end was great
Wasn't expecting such a sentimental ending there but I'll take it. I love how you explain the routing in these runs btw. With good editing, those tend to be the most entertaining parts for me
I've been subscribed ever since the original Kirby TAS, and you're so good at making really entertaining challenges and coupling that with REALLY entertaining commentary. Keep up the fantastic work!
Masterfully done and narrated as always, and from all the OSTs chosen I can tell you have sublime taste in videogames ;)
finally got around to watching this video, and it was a treat! i love your explanation style so much, honestly. it's why i keep watching even when i've never played these games before-
Me whenever I beat something simple in a game that should’ve taken me a couple minutes but took me hours:
“Yeah, you could say I game from time to time”
(14:14)
I'm something of a gamer myself...
This was one of my favorite videos from your channel, probably because I just love shovel knight but also the problem solving was incredible and *spoilers!!!*
It's always super satisfying when one of these challenges actually works without flaw, because often there is this one level where it's literally impossible to do but not here, very nice.
Really cool video, looking forward to more of these challenges from you
What an amazing video man, such good commentary and editing, subscribed
I think you're one of my favourite challenge runners on this site - you have an amazing grasp of what makes a good challenge run! If I were you, I would have spent the leftover money at the end on extra magic, but the fact you chose to only spend money on necessities just makes it even more amazing. Super excited to see what you do next!
incredibly made video as usual sample!! good shit here, especially love the choice of backing tracks, like you hit all my faves: celeste, pheonix wright, DR, mudeth's Isaac OST, 999, Omori, all sorts of ear candy in there, well done
Would you happen to know which song played at the beginning of the explodatorium?
I went a little crazy hearing 999 music in this vid lol
The algorithm blessed me with this video and I literally cannot get enough of your content. Subbed.
The editing here was absurd! Amazing job with the background music, the explanations of the tricks, the gameplay itself while being able to pull off said tricks. Truly a great video.
The effort put into this video deserves a million views at least. Incredible strats
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites, and I find myself watching this video in particular over and over again. It's a perfect showcase of your skill, perseverance, storytelling and amazing sense of humour and it's definitely a comfort video of mine. You deserve all the subscribers and views for the hard work that clearly goes into making such high quality stuff.
As always, great video! I am so glad yo have discovered this channel!
Also, the video was so well made I actually forgot that you are a TASer, that last bit killed me
I’ve been watching all your stuff since I found you! Such good content
I love the omori music
Edit: never mind you used duet and now I’m crying
The Path of Pain music kicking in at the end of treasure knight’s last room genuinely gave me chills, that song is haunting when used in the right context
That's a 10/10 video, good job man
best half an hour of my year
Great vid as always Sample. Really hoping to see the other knights
This is actually the first "Is It Possible to Beat X Without Y" videos I've seen that I found as interesting and fun as I would've imagined by the title. You've done good, mate!
It's crazy how great this game is, even after so many years. Sick content btw!
my god i love these videos, please keep it up!!
i havnt even played shovel knight before and yet you still made me get extremely interested in all of it somehow,you make amazing videos,keep up the good work
Always a great day when Sample uploads!
Here’s a challenge idea for you: Beat the main route of OMORI without using any moves that inflict emotions.
Also, nice job with this challenge! You really used your brains here a lot.
eh thats more than doable with how many bosses actively piss the party off on purpose (looking at you sweetheart and medusa) youll probably have to blacklist moves that interact with the emotion system at all (except calm down for obvious reasons)
That just requires a lot of level scumming
I think I did that on accident cuz I just never saw those moves as good 😭
This video is incredible, not only about completing challenge itself but also about how you explained the way you did it; great job!
I legitimately didn't get bored at all watching the whole video. Keep up the great work!
18:37
This was my favorite part, when shovel knight said “it’s shovelin time” and shoveled all over
Massive respect for the effort put into this! Love the Omori and Danganronpa music too
I love all your challenges and speedruns, they are so cool!
Sample your content is amazing, your skits are freaking beautifully crafted and your challenges are unique
You are awesome and I love what you do!
That maneuver with the phaselocket is great, I always use "locket stalling" in the propeller knight lvl when the winds pick up. Just an extra tidbit, you can use the fishing pole midair, you get a little cloud under you and the animation still plays.
I actually tried to do this run myself a while ago, and i wasn’t able to do it even when using amiibo, so seeing that it’s actually possible without is really cool
Wow, this is your best video yet! Happy I subscribed a few back, can't wait to see how the channel continues to grow!
I was introduced to your channel via the kirby no jumping videos and every video released before and after that has always been really fun to watch when it pops up on my youtube recommended
Hey sample I wanted to let you know that I have attempted this a while ago. Although I did stop in the middle after the iron whale broke me, after 7 hours of attempts I did manage to beat the lich yard using only the fishing hook
Sample, I've been watching a while but this one earned you that sub. Great work. Is there any chance you have a list of your backtracks somewhere? I recognized Hollow Knight, but I heard another that I think is 999. And there was one earlier than those that sounded a bit like a DanganRonpa. It is itching my brain a little.
There is definitely a Danganronpa track in the video. The one starting at 1:29 is the V3 rendition of Beautiful Lie.
Yes Sam has used Digital Root from 999 in a couple of their videos.
Okay so, this video just got better and better, and that ending genuinely made me happy :)) amazing channel!
I usually don't watch these kinds of videos but for some reason your channel is just endlessly engaging, even though I've never played 90% of the games you cover it's incredible to see how you get past all these challenges. You are truly built different, keep up the amazing work 👍👍
We need a no gold except robbery from the bosses challenge for the other campaigns, it'd be so cool to see
That final plot twist was hilarious
The whole video had me intrigued, but the ending montage of solemn music and bitter sweet ends made me subscribe, thank you Sample🤝
Man it's very impressive how you tackled that last room of the iron whale. Great work, TASple!
Y'know, I love when shovel knight said "its shoveling time" and proceed to shovel all those people.
Using Omori music in the Lich Yard is a special kind of cruel to people who have played Omori lmao
We do a bit of emotional manipulation
using the final duet at the ending is also a cruel joke
and final duet at the end
Your videos is the perfect showcase of «Limitation breaths creativity».
Amazing!
The music was perfect throughout!
This was fun to watch, but now I'd love to watch you just play it straight through (even if it's not a single-segment) with all of these tricks!
He used money to buy the game.... Let thst sink in
He pirated it
Yar har har
A pirates life for me
100k subs achieved,king.
It sounds so interesting that I subbed :)
This was incredibly impressive. You must really love this game. Congrats on 100k!
Grats on hitting 100k!
dude this is now my favorite challenge run on youtube, amazing work!
Wow. Great video, as always, Mr. Sam!
I have always loved this game, and I'm so happy that you made a video on it. I wish more people knew about this game
CONGRATS on 100k boi
Jeeze man, what a well put together video, with some darn good background music to boot!
What a marvelously well-done ending. A really great conclusion to a challenge video like this.
Excited to see you try another Shovel Knight campaign without collecting gold! They sound like pretty fun ones to attempt.😊
Your entire channel is hilarious man. You're a good person. It bleeds out of your voice and personality. Keep trucking. You made my night.
This is one of my favourite challange video ever. I can't believe I wasn't subscribed. Got my sub.
Congrats on 100k!
Top tier explanation. Absolutely fantastic! You visualized the simple exploit wonderfully
The way my breath caught when you revealed the fishing rod's ability and that NDRV3 music dropped, oh my god. I just discovered your channel today from the Super Meat Boy video and your editing is SUBLIME. Instant sub.
I came to your channel for the KSSU TAS run commentary, but I stayed for the challenge runs
Holy hell man, the editing is top notch, the jokes are great, the music choice is flawless, the tension is perfect
You’re very quickly becoming one of my go-to favorite channels on the site
That music at the end made me a little teary eyed. Thank you for putting it here. It was a nice choice. :)
Congrats for 100k!
i fucking love ur outro man just the way u bring it so amazing
I love all your videos they are all so interesting and cool keep it up
Ok I'm binging the vids of yours I haven't seen yet (I am already subbed dw) and really loved the "hey subscribe, it's safe dw the button's only silver" thing you did at the beginning. You're genuinely very funny and I hope you know that lol.
Yo! 100k! Congrats!
Your choice of music is very interesting and unique and from some of my favorite games!
I really didn't expect to be hearing Omori and 999 music
Thank you for having really good background music choice. Celeste and Omori always provide chill vibes
