SwankyBox Ok I have good experience with both games. Here it gos Link couldn't in paintings and Mario can't cast spells so if they did switch both games WILL be impossible.
Bloop iero You need spells for the shadow temple.
Bloop iero sorry I derped when I was writing.
SwankyBox mario does not need to solve the puzzles, he can just jump to the boss door and use the MiPS exploit to get in
what if Banjo and Mario switched places?
Zelda: Thank you, Mario! But, your princess is in another castle.
Mario: MAMA F*CKER!
Team Awesomeness Link again: you Are now. *nailed it 😎😌* c’mere peachy 😚😏 when my mind’s set there’s no way for a pretty lady to escape my arms known as my sturdy chain LINKS (got em😏😏😏😏)
Peach: *gasp*😧. 😯 oh Link. *giggle*😁, alright I’ll play along😊😁 😙. What does this look like in your head? Do YOU like the idea of Link acting like this? I do
Mario: well it’s’a not’a like you were‘a my type anyway ARIVEDERCCI PRINCESS OF HYSCHOOL!
Zelda: IT’S HYRULE! Ugh where In the dark realm (you know like where the hell) is Link when you need’im
You have to be insane
Henrik Foersom No that's cringy
Mario can't wield the master sword and the master sword is the only weapon capable of beating gannondorf... so he'd have to beat ganondorf the same way he beats bowser. Grab him by the cape, and throw him. Do it again and again, until he's in the temple of time. Throw him into the handle of the master sword and hope it works.
+Patchpen That would definitely be an awesome way to finish the game! It reminds me of how I used to "walk" Bowser to the bombs in Super Mario 64 because my timing was bad as a kid. I would repeatedly throw him short distances until I was close enough to make him hit the bomb. It was definitely more labor-intensive, but in the end it worked.
+Patchpen Ganondorf can be beaten with the Biggoron's Sword. It's Ganon that has to be beaten with the Master Sword.
Oh. Well that's actually even better. He actually has a tail.
+Patchpen actually mario IS able to. its a game mecanic that only link can. if mario can't then link can't wield the stars
Also bigoron sword anyone?
Mario jumps on Ganondorf's head and breaks his neck.
Wind waker Link gets a plumbers outfit from his grandma.
What about that backward jump glitch
Aryll would have to receive Luigi's plumbers outfit, I know it's not part of the WW story, I just wanna see a concept of Toon Link and Aryll working together like the Mario Brothers.
@@sleepingkirbo2393 backwards long jump? how will a BLJ help?
@@krypton7900 Easy just ram into Ganondorf at infinitely increasing speed.
@@Shard_Soldier and then take damage for colliding with an enemy? BLJ is more gonna be handy with skipping puzzles than combat. :P
There should be a hack of this
There should be two hacks, indeed!
Search Kaze Emanuar on TH-cam
Light Luigi Star one is coming iut
Dude, you're not gonna believe this
Wish came true.
All Mario would have to do is use the wing cap to get inside Gannon's castle after beating the first 3 dungeons.
+Richter Matthias Or just use the inviso cap to skip the Temple of time door.
Which he'll get stuck in because he needs the fire arrows, bombchus, golden gauntlets, a way to melt ice in the water trial, Zelda's lullaby, and light arrows...
+wrestler135var I feel like he could probably just fly up to the top though :P
+Ghabulous Ghoti and hit no loading zone to enter the boss fight. If we're talking about how ocarina works as a game, he'd have to enter through the front and get through the trial barrier in order to activate the last fight, and even then he'd need light arrows to beat Ganondorf since he won't take damage without them.
wrestler135var
I was talking more about Mario with his 64 abilities if it were real, as opposed to requiring the game to load :P
If Link gets all his items, then Mario should have his Wing Cap, Metal Cap and Invisibility Cap. Thus, allowing him to reach many more places, helps in water levels & walk through certain walls.
+bob bobq damn. you shot him down bro lmao
this video not really thought out.... first off this is assuming they go on each others adventure meaning link wouldn't have any of these things and only have 3 hearts unable to get anymore seeing how there's none in the mario world. Where as mario would be able to pick up all these items seeing how there would be nothing stopping him from wearing boots or grabbing a sword etc.and off the mario would only have two hearts thing where are you getting this from. Mario doesn't only get hit twice and then lose a life in the game he has a full life bar which i would assume would come with him seeing how that's something Mario starts off with in the beginning of the game and not gained throughout his adventure.
Mario's life bar is eight slices, and each of Link's initial three hearts are four slices. So either way Link has more health, just not necessarily by as ridiculous of a degree.
Obviously you're an idiot who doesn't read shit before posting. This is assuming you're only giving them what they start out with in their respective games. Last time I played Zelda mm or oot I don't remember link starting with 20 hearts. Have you ever played a zelda game before? Also this is a comparison of mario 64 and link from one of the n64 games so its not weather i've played a zelda game its weather i've played either of these two zelda games. and btw depending on whats hitting you throught the series of zelda one hit from an enemy can be more than or less than one heart take example from the original Zelda on nes where you had the blue enemies that did more damage. It should also be stated that if they are starting off in each other worlds they would not be able to bring anything that they collect throughout there own world meaning no tools, no extra hearts or anything all link would get are what ever he can find in mario's world because that's were Link would start out no in his own world
What about mods?
The Link from breath of the wild would do very well in Super Mario 64
Nintardo 64 hahah yes just climb through all the levels
Oh i see. Blast off to the island in the sky? Lemme just, **PARAGLIDER**
Let’s not all forget Revalis Gale 😂
Don’t forget link has sticks
and the master sword but
STICKS
That one TH-camr oh yes, ofc. How can we ever forget the sticks.
They'd both tend to struggle in each other's environments (though they might still succeed anyways). The big issue is that Link and Mario are actually pretty fine-tuned to their respective adventures. This means that if they swapped roles then they have a lot of abilities that are, essentially, solutions in search of a problem.
For example, Link would probably be really good at combat compared to Mario, and most likely would pretty much cut through Bowser's army like butter. The problem is that the enemies in Super Mario 64 are pretty weak (which means Link's ability to kill them even faster is kind of trivial), and most of the challenge of the game comes from traversing the level via platforming and the like (which Link is far worse at than Mario).
3:38 Surely he could backflip into the paintings, right?
+FierceDeityXeroX He could, but with some of the higher paintings at later levels (Tall, Tall Mountain, Tiny-Huge Island), even his backflip would still lack the needed height to enter them. A backflip would probably work on Jolly Roger's Bay though!
+SwankyBox He will probably need some hovering glitch, haha. Speaking of this, would glitchs be allowed? If yes we can start thinking a lot of things for both Mario and Link to do.
I think in some capacity bombs could give him an extra boost at the height of his jump. As for glitches, I kind of left them out because it would get very complicated, very fast. Even though some doors would be locked, Mario might be able to long jump glitch through them to get to areas he would normally need a key for. If glitches were included, then some of the details covered in the video would have to be revisited or expounded on.
+SwankyBox That also reminds me that Wet Dry World's water level when you enter is dependent on how high you jump in the painting, so Link would only be able to jump into the lower section meaning the water level would start at its lowest which would make that level kind of hard.
+SwankyBox And since ludicrously high monkey jumps are essential to completing most, anyhow, I could only see link making it as far as Bowser in the dark (and that's being really generous), he'd get stuck as soon as he got to Hazy Maze.
4:51 Imagine standing in the Market as Mario with all of the ReDeads moaning and Mario's just sleeping, saying "Night nighty. Ah, spaghetti. Ah, ravioli. Ah, mamma mia..."
That would be mad funny
I would totally read a fanfic about this!!! It's so hilarious. I'm sure Mario and Link would both have their problems, but they might use some unorthodox manners to go through the puzzles. Like Mario uses his flying cap to ambush Ganondorf and throw the man in the lava. Link may burn everything with Din's fire and go immediately to Bowser. Princess would be homeless for a while, but at least she'd be saved. XD
Hero's shade teaches you the art of backwards long jumps.
Don't you mean Plumber's shade?
Why would Link *start* with his *end-of-game* capabilities? If he simply switched games with Mario, then none of his powerups should exist in Super Mario 64, meaning he'd have to complete the game with three hearts and no hookshot. Mario, meanwhile, would find Link's items while exploring, leaving him with only a one-heart disadvantage compared to Link and his superior mobility.
Although he'd start off as Baby Mario... who is still pretty tough, according to Partners in Time.
+Steampunk Papercut yeah and Mario would be able to save zelda and maybe with the items and the strength to pick up a giant turtle without any items mix with links items he should just be able to grab gannondorf and gannon and kill them in one or two hits
First off, Mario had to throw Bowser into bombs to hurt him. Secondly, neither one could finish eachothers games. Young Link would be incapable of finishing courses, but Mario couldn't wield the Master Sword, as well as he lacks the Triforce of Courage.
+AntarianSPACE Agreed!! :D
+AntarianSPACE but.. if Mario can't wield the master sword... doesn't that mean that there isn't anything to worry about?
AntarianSPACE You can defeat Ganon with Biggoron's Sword.
Mario would not do well in the Water Temple. Link would not do well in Mini, Big Island, especially the race against Koopa The Quick.
+SpongicX Pssh, he wouldn't even make it that far, Hazy Maze and Shifting Sands alone has him beat, and if he does with some stroke of luck make it past those courses then there's still lethal Lava, Wet Dry World, Rainbow Cruise, The Clock, and tall tall mountain which in those cases he's screwed.
+Meta Retroaction also why can't mario backwards long jump?
***** He most certainly can, I don't think it really serves a purpose for a normal run through but I've seen it used in a speed run long ago before G4tv went down the shiter, Cinamatech was airing it and the player used it to backwards long jump up the stairs that made you run endlessly until you've collected the required number of stars.
actually u can do it on obstacles if u get stuck between it. u can glitch through the 8 star door by going to the basement and jump into a glitched wall. im not sure about the water temple. are there stairs or glitched walls?
***** As far as I know there are a few steps in the water temple but nothing too significant or game changing, for the most part it's pretty much just water that he'd have to swim through at one point or another, when you first enter the temple that's the first thing your doing actually , and before you get so much as to a hard covered surface you have to swim all the way down to the area where Ruto is, talk to her and then she'll lead you to the place where you can change the water levels. By that time Mario would be completely out of breath unless he had some kind of gear that could help him to last under there for extensive periods of time, I don't really watch speed runs though so if there was a way to glitch past all of that then I wouldn't be able to tell you about it, but just the simple fact that others were suggestion he could literally just get some diving gear made for him in the same way a zora tunic was for Link, plus his ability to dive and swim around the water at will is a major advantage since Link needed metal boots just to so much as even stay grounded
Maybe the new zelda game because now link can ACTUALLY jump
He jumps in Zelda II too.
He can?! Using an item though right?
Jaxtronaut Nope, You press A. However you DO jump with the Roc's Feather in Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and Link's Awakening.
Actually, only Oracle of Seasons. Oracle of Ages doesn't have the Roc's Cape (Roc's Feather in Link's Awakening).
He could also jump in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, also with the Roc's Cape. :)
And Four Swords. I don't know about Four Swords Adventures though. I haven't played that one.
Not only are these rom hacks that might answer this, but this question essentially defines your channel.
This should be explored further in your videos, as the channel has drastically matured
Ocarina of Time speed run within Super Mario 64, anyone?
+SwankyBox You should totally make a series on it
+Akrahm Joltevskoy Simple Link has his equipment with him and Mario gets his power ups from blocks that don't exist in Hyrule
+SwankyBox More "What if" video Please you are great !
+SwankyBox Using speed run tricks from both games would definitely make it possible for both characters to beat eachother's games. I mean N64 Mario will just Backwards Long-Jump through locked doors... Or Bunny Clip through a door. And Link could Infinite Sword Glitch in platforming sections. Real question for Link is if he'd get any resupplies of bombs/bombchus. I'd bet N64 Mario finishes first though.
+SwankyBox You took the piss out of Hyrule Historia =,3 Best end joke ever
Wow great video! This is neat :)
hi
RelaxAlax Hi
Well you forgot Mario has his CAPS to help him! using the invisible cap can make him past doors without even solving the puzzle! Not to mention he can also fly, giving him a very big edge.
Link could use Cuccos and his Teleportation but it will only teleport him to the start of the level
overall both heroes can and will save each princess but link would struggle more than Mario but Mario will struggle a bit in the water areas without rupees. the fire temples however are a breeze as metal Mario
Chris Corman
How should Mario defeat Ganondorf?
Ninjaananas Spinning him off the castle
Chris Corman
Doesn't it depend on power up location and they only last so long?
Joseph Ballesteros Then they're should be places for Link to learn songs too so it's even game
Chris Corman
Ah ha you get it clever!
I'm not quite sure Peach and Zelda would be into that.
@@firestormsentry80 If Miyamoto says that Mario's in his 20s then god dammit he's in his 20s. Also, unlike Link, Mario can actually freaking talk and say that he doesn't want to go back to the past.
@@floatingf8783 has mario ever really said words in any canon mario games?
potatoking124 yeah he says “oh yeah” and “let’s a go”
@@BallMuncher555 dont forget "So long, gay Bowser." And " Thank you so much for to playing my game!"
Isaac Rico oh yeah and that.
link will totally destroy browser
Hehe... Link, Browser... I get it
Haha that's a good one
KeRon Morey Jr he got that roll tho
Bluespheal I don’t get it tho
Bluespheal nvm I’m dyslexic
I guess you could say this was the "Nintendo Switch" Reveal ! Eh eh heh heh heh
I just felt a part of myself die from reading that joke. ☠️
Sebastian Johnson What if some of the Nintendo Switch's games are based on this theory
I approve of this pun
Epoch The Kid I. do to
+Christian Smith i am sorry... but I am laughing
so link gets items but Mario doesn't? that's not very fair
Link carries his items on him. Mario needs to find his.
Granted, like the video says, it depends on whether or not Mario would be able to use the items found in Hyrule, or if they would even affect him the same way, or if he would even want to use them (why would he EVER need the hook/longshot or the hoverboots?)
but isnt most of links items he has to do quests or buy them?
Sebastian Prior mario can get the items buuuttt he wouldnt know how to use them
no i mean link gets legendofzelda items so why doesnt mario get mario items
Because mario items are temporary. Transient. There for only a limited time (since we're going by SM64 rules). Mario can't just pull out and don a metal cap; he needs to find one, and nearby. Meanwhile, Link may not start with all of his items available to him, and this experiment would be laughably short if he didn't have SOMETHING, but outside ones that have limited ammo, once he has it, it's his and he can use it without limits.
It might be worth doing this experiment with other Mario games, though, where the rules are different. Like SM3, where he has an inventory full of items he can use as long as he's not in a stage (While not in a dungeon, we'll say) or in SMW where he can switch between two.
I would definitely buy the game if Nintendo makes it real!
Phillipp Hutterer #MarioAndLinkCrossover4Switch
All these people are like "Mario wouldn't be able to defeat ganon because no master sword". Which, I'm not denying that they're right, but they're forgetting something...
We'd never find out, because Mario would never make it there in the first place because he'd need to have and use the Ocarina of Time in the Temple of Time, and then draw the Master Sword and use that to time travel to the future.
But he wouldn't even make it that far, because you need the slingshot to beat the very first boss in the game.
Basically, Mario wouldn't even make it out of Kokiri Forest.
+Valsako Iliska But his ability to jump over obstacles could get him out of Kokiri Forest without even fighting the boss. He could just skip half the game.
*****
Even with this taken into consideration, he would still be lacking the Kokiri's Emerald, and thus, would never be able to access the room where the Master Sword is because you need all three.
In fact, he also wouldn't even be able to get to where Zelda is to even begin the next part of the game, because while Mario can jump high, he can't jump up to the height he would have to reach to get up to where you run past the guards to get into the castle. The only reason Link can get up there is because he can climb the vines, which Mario can't do because his game only has him climbing poles, not walls.
+Valsako Iliska Mario climbs ceillings as well so vines wouldn't be an issue.
good point
+Alex Bv Mario can climp ceiling
Are glitches allowed? Would Mario be able to wrong warp to ganon? :P
+Bunni-chan He might even have an easier time doing it since he can just BLJ into the wall!
***** I mean.. the physics of the games are totally different, so it would be very very hard to make that work xD
BunniBuu I SAID DAT!
Could link do the BLJ 🤔🤔
BunniBuu weeb
Link could probably use the bomb jump glitch to enter paintings, or even bypass the doors of Peach's Castle entirely.
Mario could use the same trick he uses to skip the endless stairs to skip...basically the entire game, come to think of it.
Are you a time traveller?
Because this was uploaded more than 2 years ago and a playable mario in ocarina of time was released 2 days ago
Yess
I imagine Mario can easily do it
But first we must understand about parallel universes
It took you 7 "a" presses to post that comment
Actually this can be done with a single A press with the ctrl+c ctrl+v exploit.
he wont be able to seal ganon away tho....
Just one thing, though.
We can't get the mystery banana without cheats.
TheBrawlUnit no, 6
Why hasn't a ROM like this happened already?
Boom
Super Mario 64 + OOT
It has, at least one side. Kaze ported the OoT maps (and more, as I know him) to SM64.
This didn't age too well
Mario: link sounds
Link: it's a me link
This was really cool! But yeah I feel like each of them totally could finish it it would just be wicked hard. Let's say each can get the items from each game. They could totally do it!
Was that a mod? Or really good editing?
Probably editing
+Brian HQ might be a bit of both
Chroma keying.
+Master M Correct
GameGrumps Compilations
Yeah, I know, I edit myself. :P
Also, coincidence? I was watching your Undertale LP earlier... xD
I would play it. BY GOD I want to try.
mario could use parallel universes to beat the game :P
hilarious and original
A parallel universe is a parallel universe, you can't say is only a game.
A parallele universe is a parallel universe you cant say its half
there actually are parallel universes in ocarina of time, but they're wierd
Hey! TJ HENRY YOSHI! LOOK!
3:48 - You admit mario would be able to beat the game if he can use the items
4:03 - You say that mario can't get into the shadow temple
LOGIC
It's that if Mario _can't_ use items he _can't_ beat the game because some parts require some items. If he _can_ use the items then he _can_ beat the game, but even giving Link all his endgame equipment it may still be impossible for him to beat the game.
Then why not try BLJ
Wow! This is so cool!!! How do u think it would work if Mario and F.L.U.D.D were in Windwaker. And if toon link and the king of red lions are in Sunshine?
+Samuel Kelly III Well, I could see Mario having some problems with the bosses but he does manage to get around the ocean faster considering F.L.U.D.D filling up with every touch/dip in the water and blast his way around the ocean using the F.L.U.D.D's modes.
+Samuel Kelly III For many shines, hidden shrines in the plaza, and HOLY SHIT CORONA MOUNTAIN, the King of Red Lions would obviously come in handy. For Mario, it shouldn't be hard to navigate the ocean, although dungeons may be harder.
Yes, although the King of Red Lions is FAR better than the mudboats. Also, many walls aren't really breakable in LoZWW
Sunshine would be way too easy with Toon Link, he could sail almost anywhere on Isle Delfino x)
+Samuel Kelly III that's a gr8 idea. Btw I like your user pic
Dude.. you're like Game Theory... Except cool.
oohhh get dunked on!!!
Said no one ever Kappa
+The Joker Well, I don't like cold-blooded people. So yeah. Although Swanky-Box doesn't seem to be secretly reptilian.
Truer words have never been Said
More like game theory but without as much science
The editing in this video is amazing. We need more like this.
If Mario and Sonic swapped in their first 16-bit games
I want to see how Mario handles Sonic 1 and how Sonic handles Super Mario World
AlbulushiGaming Check out 'Somari' :-)
It would be impossible for Mario to be able to fit into some of the tunnels and such that Sonic does.
However, he could very easily fly over the levels.
AlbulushiGaming
+DillonSolos ™
That, or he could just take the slower, alternate routes.
WRFM PaRaDoX first, somari is a different character than Mario second, that game has sonic physics not Mario physics
Mario wouldn't have to solve every puzzle. He would be able to clip through every texture because he isn't a scrub
because he can definitely walk through LOCKED doors without a key
Yeah, HE CAN actually. People have beaten Mario 64 in under 5 minutes.
Well not through them, but he can jump through ceilings and bypass the locked doors. I've actually seen 15 Star Run footage and it's pretty much that.
@@Satheo05 Not sure if he needs to. Mario might be able to straight up bypass all bosses and go directly to Ganon. How Mario defeats Ganon is, of course, a topic by itself...
@@ehx3419 he can toss around Bowser and shatter giant blocks of solid brick with a single punch. Given him overpowering and dragging around a more than 5000 ton Gold Chain Chomp in Super Mario Sunshine I think Mario can punch Ganon's head off or swing the Master Sword hard enough to cut Ganon in half. Vertically.
the game names
super link 64
the legend of PEACH plunger of time
lol
Yeah
Iron Knuckles would be a cake walk for Metal Mario. Hmm, if Mario and Link could use items found within their respective games (such as Link using the Metal Cap, or Mario using Ocarina of Time) that would be pretty interesting.
Mario could probably use the Megaton Hammer as he's an old pro with Hammers (been using them since his Jumpman days) and Metal Link would be awesome!
What if Mario and Sonic Switched Games on the N64 & the Sega Dreamcast?
Sonic would probably get stuck on the water levels.
But sonic can use the water bubble to run in the water.
When has he used them in 3d
Dialo Ivey Sonic R.
You referenced the wrong part of the timeline. Hyrule would only flood if Ganondorf is defeated. If Ganondorf isn't defeated, the era of decline (on the left side of the timeline) happens.
MSOGameShow yeah your right cause the hero of time would leave (majora's mask) then hyrule get flooded because he gonr
Are they allowed to use the items of each respective games ?
That means, Link now has only 3 special caps and a turtle shell.
Mario has a crap tons of items to help him.
GameDjeenie fire water and wind caps. And all of Mario’s power up (fire flower etc.
I'm guessing the young link equivalent would be baby mario?
Clever editing
True, if baby mario was at the beginning, that's game over because Yoshi is not coming to the game with him. If anything, Yoshi is epona whom you can't get until you're an adult
Or maybe Navi is replaced by Yoshi.
I guess Partners in Time is a sort of sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Land, Saxiest. Mario and his younger bro wouldn't be as heroic if it weren't for their parents and Toadsworth.
Yup, and then Paper Mario would be Toon Link.
Mario could just use the sticks and light them on fire for the Shadow Temple and once he figures out how to empty the well it probably be terrifying
As Steampunk Papercut said, why you assume Link can hold all his items that you found during the game and Mario doesn't?
If we want to be fair, we can give Mario the metal cap (one of the items he has access in the game, which makes him invulnerable to almost anything, he doesn't even needs to breath!) and with it can defeat Ganondorf even before he tries to steal the triforce. Furthermore, we know Mario is way much faster than Link, so we know he can chase Ganondorf easily.
Also, somebody says Mario wouldn't be able to hold the master sword because he doesn't have the triforce of courage. Isn't enough courage that he battles a 3 times bigger, fire breathing dragon that can produce electrical waves? I guess the godness of courage will allow him to wield it. As somebody said in another video:
Zelda: Link has saved like 7 kingdoms, how many had yout plumber saved, only 1?
Peach:'Excuse me princess, but I don't know how many kingdoms are in the galaxy...
For that, I think he could, hypothetically, wield the master sword if necessary.
jljassos True
Here's an idea: Mario gets the Metal Cap where Link would get the Iron Boots and he can switch it on and off with the C button, but it costs magic to stay metal. Likewise he gets the Wing Cap where Link would normally get Farore's Wind and the Invisibility Cap where Link normally gets the Lens of Truth - all of these being magic-costing items, but you can leave multiple ones running.
(And also, Mario saved seven kingdoms in SMB3 alone and unlike Link, it's a single Mario going through all his games while there've been at least a dozen Links)
Yeah sure, but Mario can't wield the master sword. Don't stretch it buddy
NumbKnucks He hasnt overdone it
yeah its not like defeating a evil being which is revived across generations is harder than defeating a fatass turtle
+SwankyBox Ok, after seeing this, there's something similar I'd like to see you tackle.
They're both PlayStation/PC games with a top-down perspective, the first 3D installment in both their franchises, and their licenses are even owned by Konami. Frogger (He's Back!) and Metal Gear Solid (Tactical Espionage Action). I would really like to see what would happen if these two were to switch places? Can Solid Snake hop around through these strange environments to rescue the "frog babies"? (He could actually kill the enemies in the game!) How well would Frogger fare on Shadow Moses Island? (He's no stranger to stealth since traveling through Honey Bee Hollow!)
+Lugbzurg Oh god, Frogger PSX, I remember that with nostalgia and joy, and, if we go by his MGS2 Capabilities(he can now roll) I think Snake could do it, since the Roll lets you jump small gaps, I doubt he could do it all, because of the Long Jump gaps, but I think he could get some of it done, as for Frogger, half of the things would be easy, a Frog is tiny, his biggest issue would be the Memory Keycard and dealing with METAL GEAR!? and LIQUID!?, since with his stature he could just ignore everything else
Cloudmonkey Frogger wasn't able to jump over gaps in the original. You may be thinking of Frogger 2. I was specifically referring to their very first 3D games. Frogger did use the Superjump to reach some higher planes, though. Snake could most likely climb them.
Lugbzurg By Gaps I meant the short holes between lily pads, and the like
Cloudmonkey Oh, that makes sense.
You know what, I've often wished Nintendo would actually do this (or at least something similar) as a one-off. Good video, thanks!
Just got recommended this video and I love it. I honestly never comment on videos, but I loved this so much that I wanted to share it. Very well thought out, well said, well done, and made me say "hmm" a lot.
OOT link in mario 64 levels? I NEED THIS!
Where the hell are you getting this footage lol
I was thinking the same thing
+Tom R HAXXXXX
Chroma-key.
A hack from kaze
Awesome Video!
Imagine if Link said all of Mario's lines, like "Here we go!" "Yehoo!" or "So long gay Bowser"
Neither of them would finish each others games lol
Super link 64 and the legend of peach: ocarina of time sound bad
No no no, not Peach. Mario is saving ZELDA. Legend of Zelda Plumber of time sounds better.
Crazlerable sounds worse
Wow, very good editing!
I love this! Can you please make this a series? I think it would be great! After all this video is what made mw sub to you ;) keep up the good work
I mean make 2 characters switching world's a series haha.
Link would instanly die in lava levels, sure he takes half damage from fire but not half damage from lava, it's pretty much insta-kill (since it's clear mario doesn't have puddle deep lava on his levels, I mean an entire volcano is hidden below some flat looking lava and multiple elements rise and hide under lava, meanwhile links just walks on a hot floor), also in levels that have object able to crush him
also I'm not sure if I agree with how you compared Mario's and Link health, one get's inta-killed when crushed, the other survives while being able to get crushed 2 more times
so I think you can just compare them in situations, if a boss fight in mario takes 3 hits then what tells you it's not because he hits stupidly strong and takes all of the health Link would take with 20 hits
+TheSilverazo I suppose I never really looked at it as being insta-killed since it only did a heart or two of damage in OoT, but it does cause Link to appear at the start of the room, so I suppose that could be argued. If it was insta-killed though, then would that mean if Link respawns after falling in the lava and appears with zero hearts, that he just comes back to life to die again? Since the animation for him falling to the ground would then play as soon as he appeared. Kinda odd to think about.
As for the damage to bosses, that is another interesting point you bring up. Either Mario's attacks deal massive amounts of damage, or the inhabitants of his world are extremely weak in terms of hit points. Something to definitely ponder!
SwankyBox wow thanks for replying I just don't agree with that but your video is still good and I do agree with a lot of things
+TheSilverazo No worries! In no way is anything within this video fact, so your interpretation of things is totally valid. Thanks for watching!
*cough* Tunics *coughcough*
+TheSilverazo mario's hard hitting in 64 is invalidated by link's tactical advantage and arsenal size. example, punching the hands for one hit point= arrow (eye weakness) for one hit point. insta-death is not a thing that exists for link due to endurance. if link can lift a large slab of black granite, he can endure a crush from a concrete (assumption) womp. even if inta-death was a thing for link, assuming he has all four bottles and they are filled with fairies, that theoretically gives link 5 lives, the same that mario starts with, and it could be assumed that 1-up shrooms would act like fairies if link collected them. link's hookshot(or longshot upgrade)makes up for his lack of acrobatics and you could assume that the only objects link can't hook have a large concentration of metal naturally or to smite the hookshot due to the sound made when it fails and none of the materials in sm64 are made of non grapple-able metal, tick-toc clock would be lke the climbable grates/fences. the hoockshot never had a problem in water, and due to the texture of the lava, it is safe to assume that it is the same density therefore the hookshot would have no problem traveling through it. due to the power of hookshot clipping and hookshot fall saves, it is safe to assume that, while moving on the hookshot, you are immune to all damage. i do find it safer to give mario more zelda hitpoints, closer to 8, maybe 6. zelda logic rarely takes 1/4 heart or 1/2 heart unless it it from a hazard such as sludge/hot (not molten) lava (like that from the second dungeon DD cavern), yet the mario games take about 1 hit point per enemy, with a few exceptions and damage over time (burns).
*sees Hyrule Field*
Mario: *turns backwards and deeply inhales*
YAHOO! YAHOO! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAHOO!
Link’s logic:
Oh no! I can’t jump because I just can’t!
-do you have legs?
Yes but I can’t
A really interesting video. Thank you for that entertaining break from TH-cam.
A few years later and Kaze Emanuar made this a reality.
What if Kirby and sonic switched games?
+Ryan McDonaugh I think that would be pretty interesting. Although what systems should be comparable? Kirby Super Star's Wheelie would be a contender for Sonic's looping tracks on Sega Genesis, but Kirby's Air Ride would also hold merit against Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for 3D racing. There's definitely a lot of options.
+SwankyBox GameCube
Kirby slowly floats above all the levels in the Sonic games, safe but boring, and has trouble with any bosses that don't shoot projectiles.
Sonic steamrolls through Kirby levels and shreds the bosses with his jump attacks, but is more susceptible to falling into pits and can't swim through the water levels.
Very interesting video! Great job
Your video editing skills, man. This was a really interesting video.
Are there mods or roms for this concept? This sounds AWESOME!!
Now this video is a reality. There is a mod that places Mario in ocarina of time.
To make this more fair, you should've allowed Mario to get power up caps. Link seems to have quite the advantage with his full set of tools and armor.
This is a video we didn't want, but needed. You are a legend
I wonder what Zelda's reaction would be if Mario saved her...
Or Vice Versa
That would result in a terrible fanfiction... XD
A fanfiction like that probably already exists.
Lasatar 64 Or fan art. ike910.deviantart.com/art/The-Wrong-Princess-151480706
Is there one with Link and Peach?
i would love to see these in action
Amazing Video!
I get stoned when i watch your vids and theyre quite comfy the way you present them. Sub
N 64 games you say.
How will mario stop a moon from falling on him?
BLJ and hit it, it will shatter with enough speed, or get to parallel universes and join up with Mario's and simultaneously jump at moon that's tiny
I can already tell you what's going to happen,
Gannon would kill Mario and take over Hyrule
Link would kill Bowser
Trailblazer Story why would Ganon kill mario(at least easily)? Mario is incredibly fast agile and can basically run circles and jump around ganon for days, and can smash large blocks of bricks with his hands alone while also being able to crush them by ground pounding,
But ganondorf(phase 1) of the fight may just result in a fight where ganon may eventually kill Mario after a long period of Mario punching ganon in the face(he won’t look good after) and also if we allow Mario basically all of his items, even in the side games, that means he can use his hammer to deflect Ganon’s projectiles and has access to crazy essentially demon slaying attacks, but if you disregard ganon’s immortality, then Mario could easily kill him.
Though in phase 2(ganon) Mario would just wallop ganon, he could more easily outmaneuver the giant pig man than link ever could and repeatedly punch, kick or ground pound his tail till he dies(he can actually be killed by non master sword weps in this phase). Or hell, he could just pick up ganon by said tail and throw him into flame barrier/nearby structures
Would be impossible for either to beat the game, as the Legend of Zelda focuses on puzzle-dungeons and Mario 64 focuses on 3-D platformer courses. Link can't jump and Mario can't use items, so Mario likely gets stuck on Deku Tree's interior, and Link can't even get INTO Bob-omb's Battlefield.
Link would never be able to rescue Princess Peach since the final room to bowser only allows Mario to reach the end of the stairs.
I thought this was going to be a dumb model switch video (Links model in Mario 64 vice versa) but this is actually pretty interesting.
Then Mario saves Zelda...
Zelda: Who are you?
Mario's ground smash could replace Link's iron boots in many situations.
those games were so fantastic that we still talk about them 20 years later.
I'm only 11 now and I think I played through it around when I was 9 and I thought the game was really cool I was actually one of my favorite Zelda games
Could be cool to do a sequel to this video asking the same question, but with their 2d counterparts. Thanks for all the great content!
They sorta did with the nes remix games
Someone should find a way to emulate this! That would be really cool!
I've been spending thoughts on a Link playable in SM64, but that would be more similar to his Smash appearance mechanics wise.
Done. Super Mario 64: ocarina of time
I never knew I needed this video
Nice video ! :D
Is there a Mario 64 Mario mod for ocarina of time? is there a ocarina of time mod for Mario 64? is there a Link mod for Mario 64? Is there a Mario 64 mod for ocarina of time? WHAT????
Yes for mario
I'm picturing Gannon in his final giant pissed off bull form looking down and shaking his head remorsefully as Mario is in his raccoon costume spinning in a circle hitting Gannon in the shin with his fluffy tail
All I am gonna say is: good job doing the "crossover"!
I like when Mario socks up Gannon as he's all hunched over😂😂😂
There should be actual ROM hacks doing this. I would play it!
scatlink sean there mario in link world
There is, for Mario in OOT at least
Mario simply couldn't beat the water temple, and wouldn't be able to draw the master sword in the first place due to him not having the heroes spirit. Plus link could get every item Mario gets, as we know anybody can grab them from blocks. Links only problem would be that he can't jump as high or far.
um link will broke his head
+昇早 thats why link have a sword he can stab the blocks
Link could punch the blocks like Mario does.
+Duelist Mudkip The power glove from Zelda II allows Link to break blocks with his sword.
+Duelist Mudkip He may not have THE hero's spirit, but Mario has A hero's spirit. He may not be descended from the first Link, but is there any official source that says that's required to wield the Master Sword? Maybe it just recognizes any individual overflowing with courage and accepts him/her as its new master. I could be wrong, but still...I think the point of the discussion is more about their abilities rather than lore. If Mario from 64 was coded into OoT, how far could a competent player get in the game? And the answer depends on whether he gets to use Link's items. If not, I'd say he'd get stuck on the Gohma fight. And Link? He couldn't climb the stairs fast enough on Bowser's first level.
The way I picture this is Mario and Link having a drink at a bar where all the video game characters hang out, they chat, then it somehow turns into an argument on who has the harder life, to which they both say "I'D LIKE YOU TO SEE DO MY JOB!" and then, they switch places, but can use each other's abilities, meaning Link can jump super high, use powerups and stuff like that, Mario can use all weapons and the Master Sword and stuff like that. I'd like to see that.
This is so cool!
Do more videos like these please
Now do if Frisk from Undertale switched with Mario and Luigi from the RPG games.
+Candhfan621 They're gonna have a bad time.
Nah more like switch Frisk with Ness
I would prefer ness.
I can already see Giygue and Frisk in the True Pacifist ending. Hee-hee!
Funny enough, 5 years after this video, we do indeed have hacks that let Mario play through the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Link play through Super Mario 64.
And in both cases, they seem to be doing alright at it!
