Wizards and Warriors is an amazing early game from Rare, the developers that would later make hits like Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, and GoldenEye: 007!
Wizards & Warriors is a platforming game with a focus on exploration - you'll search large levels for treasure, weapons, keys, and equipment. The game is just full of hidden secrets and tricks!
So how did this game get made? In this episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the game play where we'll learn:
* Where to find EVERY TREASURE CHEST - and which ones you should AVOID!
* How to complete ALL of the game's massive levels!
* The location of every SECRET ROOM!
* How to rescue EVERY PRINCESS!
* Where to find EVERY KEY!
* How to make all of the secret CHALICES and ORBS appear!

That "low-health" music is forever burned in my brain.
"You're gonna die" goes right along to the music's beats. Friends used to torcher me singing it when the music came on lol.
love it.
We used to sing... "your almost dead, your almost dead"
where is it? give time.

I played this constantly as a kid. I never got tired of it seemed like I found something new each time. One of my all time favs shame doesn't get more love
I always thought it was interesting how Kuros was indestructible from falling 100s of feet, but easily damaged from a bug.
I remember getting my name in "nintendo power" for maxing out the score on this game. The kids at school called me a nerd or worse (nothing new there) but I know they were jealous of my awesomeness.
You nerd!
Just kidding, man! I think that's an awesome story. Back when I was a kid me and my friends could have only dreamed of such a feat! I need to really get back into this game as I've never finished it. As a kid, this was just one of those games that I just didn't understand and found to be too weird for my taste. Legend of Kage and Ninja Kid was among those too.
Those kids that talked shit are probably eating out of a dumpster today.
I've done that too! Congrats!
80s bullying was on a whole different level
@@bryanlazores2801 now "bullying" is misgendering someone
The soundtrack to this game is super underrated, especially the opening music
Yeah, it really enhances the feel of the game. very cool stuff
The W&W series always had amazing music. Rare never used to skimp. The W&W 3 music was awesome, and some guy on YT actually did a medieval instrument cover of the into music that's absolutely incredible.
th-cam.com/video/okUdZ3upa88/w-d-xo.html
Stuck with me soooo many years later. Lots of cool remixes on YT.
Agreed this games music is probably the single most recognizable soundtrack for any NES game.
Despite the infinite lives, it took me and all the kids in my neighborhood months to beat this game. That one wide jump in the fire cave was where every kid in my neighborhood gave up -- only to pick up the controller again a few minutes later to make another attempt. We thought you had to wait for a specially-positioned bubble to ride up in just the right spot to make the jump and get the key without sliding back down. We were so clueless. These were kids who could beat Mike Tyson, so they were actually pretty good at video games, but it took us a long while to beat this "easy" game. Our favorite thing to do in the outside-castle stage was to jump from a really high spot and position ourselves to fall in such a way that one of the sharp spires went directly up our @55.
one of my all time favorites, your channel is like going thru a photo album of memories
Thanks Zig Zag!
This is like saturday morning cartoons all over again lol.
Thanks ReM!
The nostalgia is real. I played the ever loving hell out of this game as a kid
Yeah man, I could never beat it as a kid. Went back at it in my teens and finally did it.
Same here !
100% agreed! I never did beat this till I had a game genie! lol!
Same here. Loved this game!
I swear, I should've known some of the secrets shown here. But still, I plugged this game in once, didn't, couldn't stop until I won. Malkil was challenging me.
" U can beat video games " is a great idea for a channel. Well done 👏
Almost as good as watching Longplays and seeing what you need to do.
@Craig Adams Some game walkthroughs can be interesting I’ve had this game before as a kid, it was a $5 game came with no instructions either and this was before the access of the internet
The graphics on this game were super underrated! The skulls in the hills, the animations of even the missiles, and the artistic layout was all exemplary.
and the sound for secret reveals and the flashing for treasure was just dazzling!
Dude takes damage like nothing, never loses a life. This game killed me when I was a kid.
Do Jackal next. Cmon. Jackal.
I thought i was the only one after he said it was so forgiving... These games kicked my ass 😂
I’m guessing a lot of save states, but with incredible editing. Very well produced.
Oh man. Jackal was a beast of a game. Would love to see a walkthrough of that.
That would be awesome! Jackal was one of my favorite nes games
6 y/o me was sooo close... and he knew it was the last castle too! so proud ov you, you little freak. and you never once got arrested!
such a big boy.
The youtube algorithm blessed me with this channel. You have earned a sub.
Thanks for the sub!
Same here!! I was getting so tired of all the other channels just talking about games, this kind of in depth analysis hits the spot!
Same here!
Crushing my way thru all your videos. Really amazing job. An incredible amount of work goes into each of these. Thanks for keeping it playful and fun along the way.
Thanks, Carlo!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames: I can't help wondering what the guardian knight does after you pay him, should you collect more gems than the sum he asks for.
This is by far one of my favorite channels on TH-cam, thank you for all your work and passion for these classics!
Thank you so much!!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames: Can we be certain the developers didn't have Lord of the Rings on their minds making this game? Forest of *Elrond?* Lady *Galadriel?* Come on!
Same
So... I have to give absolute credit. I'm sure no one will care and this won't amount to much of nothing, but like many others, I played the holy hell out of this game, this was one of, if not THE top favorite game of mine from the system. LOTS of uneventful weekends were spent playing this game.. I watched this video thinking - "Oh yeah? Every secret? We'll see...." and I'll be damned, the video covered each and every one, there was even a secret room in the castle that I was unaware of. I don't click on LIKE for just any or all videos, I am thoroughly impressed and this one was well earned. Mad love and respect!
Watched all of it. Thank u for bringing me back down memory lane. I played this game to death.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Let's appreciate his professionalism every time he says "PinK Key" without mashing them together, for audience comprehension. The only time he does mash them is if he immmediately, previously said "PinK Key" and then he zooms over the next one as a Pinky.
Wow. I've been playing W&W pretty much since it's released and I never knew you could open chests and kill the skulls with the boots of force, very cool. Definitely do a video for Ironsword, because that game still kicks my ass and I could use some tips/tricks/secrets.
yer wish is granted!
absolutely a HARD game, and I was also completely floored that you could kick the skulls! And can we talk about how hard climbing the castle was the first time you do it? And then you're all the way at the top and you ... don't have the key! LOL they had to love slapping the players around a bit, making that game!
Loved watching this.
The cloak of darkness isn't useless. Any normal enemy that does more than 1 damage is nerfed down to 1. Also, some hidden rooms will give you 200 pts when touched by you and 100 when axed. You can even see this during your run.
This is maybe the best crazy knowledge comment and most underrated comment that is not a loving salute to the game or the content creator.
dude you are HILARIOUS - that sub sammich bite burn was maybe the best duo reply vid ever
Oh man you just made my Saturday this was one of my favorite video games when I was a kid. Such a great game , graphics,sound, gameplay are all grade A
would be awesome, getting a 2.5D remake...e.g. like samus returns. but it will not happen...rare is a trademark of m.soft.
i love that you won't speak its name. crapsoft 100%@@qwertqwert99999
Wizards and Warriors feels like a franchise that RARE could easily revisit I think.
This was a very underrated game.
I remember it took me a long time to get one specific levitation jump in the caves, but other than that it had a great level of difficulty. It wasn't so punishing that you had to worry about every single hit and you could just enjoy playing through the game.
The other way to do that hard jump is to ride a bubble all the way up then jump. That’s how I did it as a kid.
Just have to say your opening has the best good boy ever!
Wizards & Warriors is one of those games that really deserves a comeback.
Totally agree but in the vain of this. It’s sequels were ridiculous and hard. I’d love something like this and castlevania symphony of the knight
I remember waking up on Saturday morning, starting this up and pouring a bowl of cereal then beating this within an hour... super fun game and I wish I still had it.
Been waiting for this one.
Man, your stuff keeps getting better and better.
Not only does it not protect from damage, enemies can still see you and home in on you as well. The cloak of darkness IS the worst item in video games. No contest.
Thank you!!
Maybe it was created to make a challenge
@@Jopo1226 it's almost certainly either a coding error or they just neglected to code it properly. There's nothing else in the game specifically to provide a challenge, like a poison pick up, empty chest, bad item etc.
I've beaten this game so many times, since I was a kid in the 90's... one of the best games I own till this day =)
I feel like this game could have some really awesome rom hacks due to the unique inventory. One of my favorites from my youth, it was one of my only games so I combed through it pretty damn well. This is the first time I was in the know about most if not all of the secrets but it was still such an awesome and nostalgic watch. Thanks for that, love the channel!
Kicking enemies to death never gets old. Especially that damn wizard at the end.
One day my bro and I filled all the high scores. Killed my fingers though. Nintendo thumb is real. This game is a piece of cake.
That into theme song is amazing. Like the Gauntlet one it has no right being so good.
As usual you're doing great man. Look forward to every video.
nintendo controller's d-pad (thumb pad), really could tear up your thumb (especially playing the fighting games)... a secret trick that I didn't learn until much older: use a band-aid or gloves or whatever, so thumb isn't rubbing-touching the d-pad
I watch this channel every night. Just let it run on repeat.
I remember renting this game and beating it back when it came out. I have fond memories of this game. I really should replay it.
How on earth do you pump out quality content so quick. Thank you!
I think he's literally PLAYING IT THROUGH by some kind of insane memory power or guide and just drops the raw video! And yet it's nearly perfect somehow. Seriously, dude is gonna be RIIIIIICH and also, just adding to human experience, bless his spirit.
Love Wizards & Warriors. It was so much fun when I was young. I agree it's a little easy though. Still, that being said, I'd love to see an Ironsword passthrough.
All time favorite for the NES such a classic and the sound track is flawless
This was my favorite game series on NES! Iron Sword was so good too! It was published by Acclaim!
This was one of my all time favorite games when I was a kid. Great to see it again. Good stuff sir!
Thanks Nat!
Me too, friend. The music, the art, the mystery, the spookiness. The objects. Everything was incredible. But I hate the blue acorns for some reason lol
I loved everything about this game. Loved the sound effects and the colors, especially after defeating a boss. Had no idea there was a Horn item! I'm still learning stuff decades after. Thanks!
for real DuckTales has a 3rd ending with bankrupt scrooge .
One of my top 3 favorites of all time! I've been playing it since it came out. epic music for sure. Funny story, I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled out 30 some odd years ago and they loaded me up with laughing gas. I swear I was having a near death experience, and the low health music from this game was the only thing my brain could come up with, over and over and over!
These are some of the best "walkthru" and such videos I've seen on YT. Thank you! Any chance Ironsword: W&W 2 is on the list of future videos?
I never even played this game but I have been dying with anticipation since you announced it yesterday.
This game was one of those games I rented enough to pay for it 3 times over. Great content and editing.
Loved this game as a kid, but I could never make it much further after the bat boss.
I really appreciate your super chill attitude. Too many videos these days have shouting and fake screaming/laughing.
This was a game I just farted around on as a kid, not really knowing what to do, and occasionally making it to later levels. Nice to see someone actually play it. It always just seemed like random chaos to my 8 year old self.
Thanks for the continued quality content! Your videos are awesome!
why is this the most soothing voice, combine with watching some nostalgic video games and i feel at peace
Thanks Stephen!
I loved these games as a kid, they always seemed very random and luck based to me but you imposed order on the chaos and make it actually make sense.
I'm happy to say I've been a fan of Rare games since I was 2 lmfao My dad had this game before I was born so I used to play this a LOT when I was a kid. was a REALLY fun game when I was a kid. The music was great. I used to play the sequel a lot too.
Oh I played this one this was a new game. Has one of the best box arts I've ever seen.
Kicking that vampire bat to death just made me laugh out loud for some reason. It just seemed so random. 🤣 Never would've thought to curb stomp a bat.
the music man! that power up music! and that tune that plays when your health is low is so fucken awesome and just hits with nostalgic memories,I always loved that little tune ! There it is! @ 8:46 that iconic jam,Listen!
These guides reminds me of the old Jeff Rovin How to Win at Nintendo Games series from the late 80's, but in video format and with much deeper coverage. I can't stop watching them.
Thank you!!
I remember beating this as a kid with my friends back in the day. Thanks for letting me quickly re-live the experience.
😁 Thanks for watching!!
This is my favorite NES game. There's so much to explore and so many secrets to find.
Somebody else commented on one of your vids. You are totally the Bob Ross of game play through's and walkthrough's. Much love dude! Keep it up!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I've had this game in my kitchen for 20 years without knowing what it's about.
Idk why but I love the way you say "and more," it just fits and comforts like a nice warm blanket.
Me and my dad played this for hours but never beat it. Thank you I had forgotten the name of this game and been looking for it for years. Wish I woulda found this channel a couple years ago. I know my dad woulda remembered the hours we sat on the floor in front of the tv playing this game. Thankyou
my dad loved this game, in the ice caverns where you get the feather of feather fall, dad had a knack that if he couldn't make the jump initially, he would stick Kuros under a nearby ledge and jump and bash Kuros's head into the ledge for a few seconds and then go try again and he would make it every time after doing that.
I appreciate the wholesomeness of your videos. it's nice to have entertainment like this in the repertoire.
Thanks, Darren!
This may not be the most difficult game but its one of the funnest nes games ever made, providing of course you memorize where all the bad ability chests are and avoid them, this game is just as fun to play today as it was back in the day, it never gets old.
Man this brings back memories thank you for sharing this, a lot of important family members were alive at this time in my life🤙🏾💯
I'm glad I could take you back to those times. Thanks, Ray.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames 🤙🏾thank you
One of my fav NES games without a doubt. I loved the title screen music
I played this game as a kid and loved it. On the second level with the difficult jump to get the feather of feather fall, there's an easier way. Underneath the platform where that red potion spawns there is a blue potion. You have to hurry to get back before it wears off, but the speed from that lets you make the jump easily.
Thank You soo much. I’ve literally been racking my brain to remember this title. That jump to get the feather used to piss me off soo much. You made it look incredibly easy lol
25:49 I thought the Evil Ghost was so cool looking. I used to draw him a lot.
Fricken Fabio on the cover of the second one like it’s a romance novel. 😂
That was Ironsword. That game was a hell of a lot harder than the first one.
“Wait Simon, there ARE no green keys in Wizards & Warriors!” Man I love that episode of Captain N 💙
Loved this game. Perfect to pass the time in the dead of winter during the late night hours.
To the channel author: THANK YOU for this and also revealing that there were TWO SEQUELS?!?!? I'm gonna watch the crap out of those longplays. Hopefully you have them!
You know, this was actually mentally difficult as a game (especially for an 8-year old), and demanded complete visual memory of the entire map. Also, whomever claimed the game was "too easy/generous" DEFINITELY ignored "one chance to get it right / oh also you can't ever get it right the first time, you literally have to replay the entire game to get back and try again" level where YOU'RE FALLING DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE TREE. The branches you slide off are expertly as malignant as possible, practically DEMANDING that you replay the entire game just to see if you can get (do you remember) that ONE treasure chest - I think it was pink or red. Totally impossible to plan, almost nobody was lucky enough to get the chest the first time through - and you sure as hell replayed the game JUST to see if you could get it. And you wouldn't until playthrough #3. Maybe.
Epic! Been waiting for this one. One of my all time fav games. Another epic video!
Oh, I remember this one all too well. Never realized jumping off enemies would help get up to the tree tops; I often had to wait for the pink potion.
But if anything stood out in my mind about this game more than anything, it was that "low hit point" music loop. It's x amount of years later, and I can _still_ hear it.
One of my favorite NES games as a child, even though I did not understand a lot of it. I use Wizards and Warriors songs for my alarm clock tune at 32 years old. Ahh the good ol days!
This is great, the suggested videos show so many games I remember beating when I was younger but playing emulators I can't get close anymore.
This was the first NES game I ever owned. I cried when I kept falling down in the castle climb level.
This game and Iron Sword were games my Father would use to his advantage. When I got stuck, he'd show me what to do next, but only if I did a house chore, or get me to go to bed, then he'd show me the next day. FABIO, There's so many spreadable Gems, I can't believe it's not buttaa!!
Glad to hear a new dog's play of another NES game. Nice video👍
Thanks!! 🐕
wow, kudos to you for beating these levels and bosses so many times to show us the alternate ways to fight the enemies, that's incredible effort, you must be really knowledgeable about these games after playing them so many times ^_^
The wizards and warrior series all have something special. The combination of the theme, the atmosphere (especially the 2nd game) and the music had a huge impact on little me.
Been waiting for this! I can't watch it now, but I will later! Hopefully the sequel is coming to this channel too!
I beat this game without dying a few months back. I still can't believe it. Great guide, I hope more will try it out. Its one of my fav games of all time on nes.
In one of your game cart intros you had a Magic of Scheherazade cart. Gonna make a vid of that? Not a well known game and barely got any attention, but given it was made by a company which is not known for its RPGs, its pretty fun. The soundtrack also has a few hits (with a few misses as well). If you are REALLY up for a challenge, try playing the Japanese version.... that is brutal compared to what the US got.
I think that's actually a really cool game. Zelda style ARPG combined with party based JRPG turn-based combat and Chrono Trigger style time travel mechanics. Original video games were more innovative. There were no money-making formulas yet, so they had to be creative.
You continue to create fantastic content!
The main character always reminded me of some character right out of Monty Python.
One of my favorite games, in my first 3, not only was the game fun with a little difficulty but the music was on point. Love the sound track it brings me back the music outside the castle is the best
Can you do 2 and 3 as well? Iron Sword was actually pretty challenging. But 3 was my favorite though, and very hard. At least 2 had passwords, 3 didn't, no password, no save state, gotta run through in one sitting with a limited number of continues.
All 3 games had wicked soundtracks.
I always found the way the hero swung his sword hilarious. Loved this series of games.
The way he dies is even funnier.
One of my top favorites fames on the NES, and most nostalgic too😁
I had 6 brothers and 1 NES so I never got to finish a level and I forgot about this game until now . Thank you for beating it for me !
Thanks, Eddie! Wow, I only had 2 brothers, and sometimes even that was a crowd when we played games, but those were still great memories.
Aaaaall right! I finally beat it after 30 years!!!! Thanx dude!!!! ❤🙋♂️👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
Always nice when TH-cam suggests quality stuff that isn't that well known.
Thanks!! 😁
It's so nice to see these old games get some love, and to be explained easily.
this is on my top ten favorite NES games of all time. very fun
Thank you for this in depth playthrough, really helped me make it through the game watching out for the bad treasures..I think that’s what stopped me from beating it as a kid..I only had so much time to play during the week. You rock!
Dude just want to say you have the best walk-through of games of all time patna!
One of my most played games as a kid. It was one of the games I usually played when I was frustrated about any other game that I just couldn't beat... I played it a ton and it never got boring. It was like therapy after smashing walls and throwing controllers because I couldn't beat a hard game ;-)
It seems like back in the day a lot of people felt like easy = bad, which is so far from the truth. A game doesn't need to be difficult for it to be fun. Like, would Contra have been as popular if people couldn't put in the code for 30 lives? I think it would have still been a hit, but not nearly as well loved.
Thanks for watching!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames there’s nothing wrong with easy games if they are fun. This game here might be very forgiving but it still offers some challenges. You can try beat lt in different ways , with (or especially without) certain items … As I said, never got boring haha
Loved this game, the music while scaling the castle!!!
I loved this game as a kid but found the controls a bit too weird and slippery. It's nice to see someone talk about it again after all these years. Soundtrack is great too!
