Is it Possible to Beat Super Mario 64 DS Without Mario?

I always thought Mario was really holding back the Mario series

Props to Adeal for just coming up with a glitch on the fly

Ain’t you Nathaniel B?

Playing only as Yoshi feels like playing a demo version of the game

Adeal is such a legend, he completely saved this run. He literally discovered a new speedrun route, just for this video.

Wait, so adeal invented a new "No Mario" speedrun tecnique?

not only did adeal save this run, he found a technique that was never known, therefore making a name in the sm64 speedrunning history

NB: Can’t advance without Mario Adeal: I’m going to save this man’s whole career

Is it possible to beat Mario 64 ds without Adeal?

Weird story: It was 2021, and I was in my first year of college. It was one of the first in-person lessons after covid, so it was basically like everyone meeting eachother for the first time. Me, being the socially awkward weirdo I am had brought my 2ds into college to pass some time before the lesson (I got to college around an hour early on most days). A small group of people from my class were hanging around in a back computer room, so I joined them. I opened my ds and started playing Mario 64 ds, which was the game I had with me at the time. Someone notices me playing and comes over to watch. We start up a small conversation (finding out we were both as socially awkward as eachother). The conversation then turns to Mario 64 ds. I show her how to get on top of the ending room of the secret slide, and she brings up this exact video, which we then watch together. She became my best friend. Fast forward a couple of years, and she's now my girlfriend. So yeah, had it not been for this video, I probably would have been alone throughout my three years of college. TL:DR this video helped socially awkward me find a friend who later became my girlfriend.

14:05 “I had to feel my way around for Bowser’s opening” I’m gonna pretend I did not hear that

“Yes, i’m about to go unlock Luigi while using the Luigi cap before unlocking Luigi” *ad pops up* HavE YoU BeEN A ViCtUm Of iDeNtiTy ThEiFT?

Mario appears out of nowhere after defeating the last bowser fight Mario : All me baby

Are we just gonna overlook that fact that nathanial just caused the creation of a new speedrun trick

It’s nice to know that the version of Mario 64 I grew up with is almost as broken as the original.

Nathaniel:I can't progress any further Adeal: I'm in

"There is no known way to enter the 12 star door without Mario." 10 minutes later* "I might have an idea."

Super Mario 64 DS without Mario is just Super 64 DS
