Still one of my favorite final boss encounters of the entire Mario franchise. Top marks, no notes.
It's been an honour to witness the first tiny video upload delay I remember in all the years since this channel has had this name!
One of the best emcounters in the whole series
23:18 you don't need 30 stars at the end of this level, specifically, for 100?
Oh no! Are you not allowed to say the name of Mario’s brother on YouTube any more?
The unique forward facing sprite for Yoshi, the Mode 7 effects, the sudden electric guitar after a whole game of fun, cute music. Totally epic boss fight.
7:40: I don't think this floor is up to code.
12:55: Bowser doing his best Lavos impression
21:24: Momario and Dadario?
32:55: Cold take, but there's no way to make lives and saves coexist that isn't kinda silly.
I've played this boss fight dozens of times, and I don't think Ive ever hit one of the flying toadies before, that's hilarious.
21:15 According to the GBA sequel, not quite.
The 100% speeding of this game is one is my favorite speedruns. The speed they get everything plus a few red coin dupping glitches.
Even Mario Sunshine and Galaxy set your lives back down to 4 on reset. It's a strange decision given how the game likes to hand out green mushrooms like candy.
Gotta love how, for most of the game, the soundtrack is chill & happy, then for the final fight, it suddenly starts channeling Mega Man X
I can't believe that Super Mario's parents have more screentime than Sora's Mom
lives resetting on reboot certainly explains why they are so plentiful and why I had no memory of getting hundreds in my own playthroughs xD
1:43 This amuses me greatly.
1:51 Oh, I get it now. Still funny.
2:34 Comments were taken personally, it seems.
3:12 One day, I hope to find a good autoscrolling level. I have not, as of yet.
7:01 Reminder that Kamek and Bowser still work together, at least as of Thousand Year Door.
8:37 Such a good jingle. Jingle-thing. Chord? Bar? (I don't know, and if I'm corrected I will forget before it's relevant again.)
13:53 Yea, it's not this fight's strong suit, you just kinda have to guess. Not great for your only attack.
16:07 You kidnap infants, repeatedly try and prevent Yoshi from delivering Mario to his rightful destination… and because we resist, we're the "meanies"? I hate people like you.
16:25 Kamek even kidnapped the stork!
18:14 It's been good. Though I will admit, I still don't know what makes a "good Mario game".
20:07 Thank you for playing!
20:13 There's still a few days of Christmas left!
20:17 I hope 2025 improves… it's already been quite nasty to a lot of people… and it's only Day 2.
23:36 Wow, that's mean.
26:15 I'm used to watching Dan Jones learn tricks, this is nothing. I also think Ame used rewind a lot, but I don't remember.
26:56 I've never really gotten hyped for hard mode levels. I love the completion aspect. 007 difficulty for GoldenEye64 and Elite mode on StarFox64 have been points of pride for me in the past. Also, 007 difficulty and Elite mode are just fun variations.
28:17 tbh, I'd rather fight Kamek. He's been the thorn in your side the entire time and makes sense. Baby Boswer feels very "contractually obligated final boss for a Mario game".
29:28 Same!
31:45 Universe did even let him finish setting himself up.
31:58 "Us"? There's no "us" here, just you, I'm afraid.
I know I beat every level as a kid, but I definitely didn't 100% the bonus levels. I remember a red coin in a monkey level that I just flat out gave up on. Those bonus levels are no joke.
[edit]: Oh, there it is. Bonus 3.
Wait… Luigi and Mario are TWINS???
I was so thoroughly charmed by the design and animation throughout this series 😀 as someone who never played Mario 2D platformers
19:20 so what you're saying is you actually like Sonic games?
I'm definitely biased, since I've been replaying Super Mario World for decades at this point and I've only played Yoshi's Island once (although that, itself, indicates what kind of impression each game made on me), but I think the Secret Exit mechanic alone in SMW makes it my favorite of the two games: the way the different worlds are interconnected and you can unlock alternate paths by clearing levels in different ways is so cool. But watching this playthrough has definitely made me appreciate this game in a way I never did during my first experience, and it's very clear to me now why game developers of all types (especially artists and animators) love it as much as they do. Thanks for another great Marioliday season, Dan!
for me is easy to think of Bowser as a dragon, a creature who likes to hoard wealth, power, princesses and lava, who has been terrorizing the mushroom kingdom for ages… but then I got reminded of this game, where he is probably a year older than Mario, never growing out of that spoiled toddler mindset.
Are you going to play Kirby and the Forgotten Land soon?
Monkey weapons: watermelon seeds, round bouncy cacti, more monkeys to do chains… and bombs, LITERAL BOMBS!!!
Dan there is a Yoshi's Island rando. Just putting that out there.
Great to see credits on this game since I never finished it back in the day. It got a bit too difficult for me late game but the art, music, enemy designs really are top notch.
I imagine the diapers on the babies are getting quite heavy after that journey I'm sure it took a couple days in game.
I vaguely remember, in the final fight, there's buckets JUST offscreen somewhere, with a refill of stars. Since the phase 1 always causes you to lose some, they hide replacements.
That intro to the final boss music… easily top 10 video game music of all time
Is this why Mario is slightly more formidable than Loogi? Because Mario got way more exp being drug across Yoshi's Island through oceans, blizzards, and volcanoes in nothing but his diaper and cap vs Loogi just hanging out waiting for rescue XD This game is an absolute JOY.
Wait. Mario's parents lived in the mushroom kingdom? I thought he grew up in Brooklyn?
Dan, you have provided so much joy throughout the year that supporting the Patreon is the least I could do. Sincerely, thank you.
I never really understood how the aiming in the final fight works.
I have a headcanon that the Koopa Kids are Bowser's actual children, but with some of Kamek's timeline fu…dgery, baby Bowser got stuck in the future, and was adopted by his older self, to become Bowser Jr.
34:01 made me literally laugh out loud with the unexpected reference! xD
