We do this in real time runs as well! We memorize which powers come up when you suck up 2 enemies then time our A press so we get the same power every time! It's a 4 frame window to do so, which is 1/15th of a second, so it's not easy, but it gets easier with more practice and experience!
@@CassiusStelar Clunky? It's my favorite Metroidvania ever. What they need to do is re-release the game on Switch with local and online coop. It's ridiculous they haven't done so already.
The one thing the dark forces that invaded Dream Land never expected was a little pink wheel rolling at 9 million miles per hour beating them up so fast it didn't register until 5 seconds after he left.
Also fun fact: Kirby and the amazing mirror is the first metroidvania Kirby game. And this speedrun proves it. He comes back to certain chests with a different ability
Gotta say, I really love how the Missile ability was utilized throughout this run. Also, the way Kirby just stands in mid-air after Dark Meta Knight's defeat is pure gold.
Nothing against Star Allies, but the 4 player co op isn't even a fraction as good as the co-op in this game was, or rather, could have been, considering how inconvenient linking was.
I like how Throw Kirby makes quick work out of Dark Mind. It’s like when he’s GRABBING and HOLDING the Dropped Star, it’s enough to deal so much damage. It’s akin to how Suplex in Super Star Ultra deals immense damage when used correctly in the Arenas. Just grab the Star and throw it at the right time.
I think what amazes me about TAS-ing Kirby is sometimes you don't actually see any deliberate damage until halfway into the video, and when it happens, it's always blink-and-you'll-miss-it.
The helper Kirbies wander around the world. You can call them by pressing R for help, like getting a big stone block to move, but it will deplete your battery. How much battery you have is shown on the top left of the screen
It was a mistake. The author commented that he could have just gotten Bomb from the one enemy. I think he became so used to mixing that he overlooked that the ability he wanted was already right in front of him. There's probably a moral in there somewhere. That, or he forgot that the enemy gives Bomb. 😄
@@TurboPikachu there is a similar enemy in Dream Land 3 and some others too (I think Star Allies) that give nothing. It’s like a blue version of that enemy.
The other kirbies: "Oh no, it seems we've been split apart! We must work together to restore the mirror and fuse back into one-" Kirby: "nah i got this hold on"
Im laughing at what the other Kirby's are thinking. Just bumming and all of a sudden, these mirrors start popping up, and then every 2-3 mins pink Kirby just comes SCREAMING in on a star and cannon balling into these mirrors
47:21 I have never been able to figure out how to get on the opposite side. I seem to recall there's a block that all 4 Kirby's have to inhale to move, but the bots never cooperate
Turns out that this big block can be pushed bit by bit by stomping the ground near it with stone ability of all things, also works with galaxia's downward dash
43:51 i love the accuracy of getting what you want but I'm more curious why he didn't go for the first smash icon in the wheel. Don't know if this happens any other time but I noticed it here
All you need is maps of every area. And if you don't have a map of a certain area and try to view that area(in the pause menu), it won't show all rooms but it will show a room where the map for the area can be found(its color will resemeble the area in a way), you only need to find a way to get to that room.
From the Submitted Run: Get Wheel or Fight-ability from golems Golems are obviously stone enemies and will give you stone when absorbing their ability. Some golem enemies, however, will give you wheel or fighter. It depends their current movement. Not every golem can perform all the available movements. Some can only use a stomp attack (stone), some can only use a rolling attack (wheel), and some can only use a punch (fighter). But I can recall there being one who was able to perform all the available actions. I think he was in room 22...
I just noticed also, from that timestamp, that the Golems are all different colours (one is more yellowy, one is more red, and so on) - maybe the different colours show what each one could do?
This really emphasises why Wheel is one of my favourite abilities in the series. Missile is also one of my favourites and it really sucks that it hasn’t returned since Canvas Curse.
I'm going to say this is the best kirby game ever made, the maps are huge and soundtrack is brilliant especially the Exclusive Kirby abilities way better than squeak squad!!!!
@Cristopher At least you got THAT close to 100%. All the times I played this, I always reached only 80% or so, and last time I played I reached 94% only.

Couldn't one do almost the same thing with very good reaction time?

That Missile precision is incredible.

It's rare that a long-form TAS can stay so entertaining the whole time. Kudos!
This is how you can see how well the game is done, so that there are not so many Bugs, Kirby's programmer is the best of all
You just gotta love how the other kirbys are minding their business and actually doing something else
Other kirbies: just inhaling enemies, chilling in the mirror world, etc.
Main kirby: *GOTTA GO FAST*
Except when you NEED them
They like to cheat and get abilities out of thin air
I just now realized that the main theme for olive ocean (underwater) is also a major chunk of the second phase final boss theme
The Area 6 theme sometimes makes me think of the boss theme

Lol nice
Kirby: BwamBwaam!!!
I love that the runner does their best to spare sleeping enemies.
I think its quicker to lwt them live
Hitting enemies and destroying blocks causes some small lag, so it's more efficient to avoid that whenever possible.
Still waiting for the 4 player TAS
it still aint out yet? damn
Well, that would take a lot of effort. At least we have a New Super Mario Bros. Wii no-jumping TAS speedrun.
39:23 If only Kirby's Hammer was even half that good in Smash.
man i loved this game as a kid. still love it but i've already memorized most boss routes and chest locations after playing it so much lol.
I'm almost glad that I don't play it so frequently so that I forget the routes lol. Like playing it over again.
My favorite Kirby game to date omg
I already saw this... will watch again!
Such a fantastic game but hard though.
Bringing Judo into the finale is genius, I love how that turned out
15:25 - One of the few times we see one of the other Kirbys.
49:15 another one of them, but now it's a different one.
37:39 the yellow one is alive too! :)
This game has a very unusual interpretation of the phrase "Jesus take the wheel"
This game needs to be re-released with local and 4 player coop. I guarantee this will be one of the highest selling Switch games if they do that.

When you move so fast that the other 3 kirbys can't even keep up on the same screen as you
they couldn't keep up anyways, unless you wait for them basically.
I waited for them and they stiil couldn't keep up
They dont try to keep up they like to do their own thing

You can crouch to pass through Shotzo. That's real LOL
After watching TheRunawayGuys play through this, I can't believe my very eyes. At the end, Kirby was like "Who needs this silly little sword anyway?"
I watched all of it.
I enjoyed and reminisced over all of it.
I bet the other Kirbys are questioning why they follow Kirby when they can't even keep up, they aren't even as dedicated to the grind as our main man
I got so used to the 'Something About' Kirbo that all the times the jingle dance happens I hope Kirby farts a star midway into the dance :v
the routing for this game must have been a 10th circle of hell
You owned this game, outstanding moves there,flash Kirby,fast finger button

What’s with 21:05? If you can get bomb from a single enemy, why mix two and stop it on bomb? Doesn’t that waste time? It is it something RNG-related?

Don't know if this happens any other time but I noticed it here
IIRC Mix can't be stopped within the first few frames after it's triggered, so he has to wait for the next one.
I just finished playing this game a few weeks ago, and it really is a great game (once you figure out where you're going).
All you need is maps of every area.
