Yes, thank you for correction.

no es una hazaña tan impresionante. basta con saltarte hasta el mundo 8 y llegar al 8-4 con una flor de fuego pq ese hammer bro antes de bowser es bien duro de matar o de esquivar el desgraciado si sos mario chiquito. por suerte justo en el nivel anterior podés conseguir una sin mucho problema considerando que a estas alturas adquiriste la suficiente habilidad como para intentar lograr este y demás retos

not such an impressive feat. just jump to world 8 and get to 8-4 with a fire flower (because that hammer bro before bowser is very hard without it). Luckily just in the previous level you can get one without much problem considering that at this point you have acquired enough skill to try to achieve this and other challenges.

mi hazaña fue pasarme el juego (sin atajos o áreas secretas), (el juego sin perder una vida), (matar al Bowser en el mundo 8 con fire), ( pasarme el mundo 8 sin perder una vida) y(rescatar a la princesa) 5 logros a la vez y podéis comprobar que es cierto porque los 5 logros se desbloquearon a la misma hora.

Hmm I just did it and it didnt trigger? Does it count if I lose a life but kill myself two more times to restart?

Put "Warp Allowed" ... "Continue not Allowed"

Are you not allowed to start from world 8? I assumed you could due to a comment above, but it didn't proc.

If you're truly a real gamer Mario you'd figure you need to do this legitimately without starting from World 8. Logically, if you could start from W8 there would literally be no difference between the Master Plumber W8 achievement and this one. Would the achievement even be worth it if you're trying to find the easiest shortcut to it possible? Why would you want to flaunt your achievement or even just unlock it if you aren't doing what you're meant to anyway? Wouldn't that be a hollow victory? Would you truly be a "master"?

Except Softcore. Just use savestates in Softcore and go back every fuckup and it's really easy and I'm sure intended.

But for Hardcore;

I reccomend doing this before having Master Plumber W8 as you'll unlock both of them at the same time.

Here's the way I did it for yall (which I think is the intended route), and some neat NON-SPEEDRUN strategies;

Beat World 1-1 taking the coin route to do it as fast as possible so you don't waste much time between attempts. You should get the Magic Mushroom.

Take the Fire Flower at the start of 1-2 and enter the Warp Pipe to 4-1 by going onto the ceiling using the moving platforms.

Beat 4-1. Beware of Lakitu. Get powerups if needed.

In 4-2, make your way to the first moving platform and go a little bit past until you see the three floating bricks. As Super Mario, jump under the rightmost block, then onto the now-visible invisible block and break the two closest bricks. Then, go back down and jump to the left of the invisible block you activated earlier. Get back on top one last time and hit the only remaining brick to activate the vine, then climb to the warp zone and warp to 8-1. As Small Mario, just activate 3 of the invisible blocks (2 rightmost, one to the left of the leftmost brick block) then just jump past and enter the Warp Zone to 8-1.

The character limit doesn't let me continue writing. Check my next comment.

For 8-1, remember that there's only 1 jump that requires sprinting by holding B. Every other jump is possible without sprinting, so make sure you don't sprint and overshoot that one jump to the 1 block pole. You have a good amount of time so you can dodge enemies and stomp them carefully.

For 8-2, immediately sprint to the right until you get stopped. Then, jump to the third step, and wait for the Parakoopa to jump past you. You can then jump up one step and then straight to the top. If you time it all right, the Lakitu should fly way over to the right. If there are spinies in the way, jump over them or go backwards and wait. When you are at the top, Lakitu will slowly glide over to you. Stand still and jump at the right time to stomp him and not have to worry. For the Bullet Blasters, they deactivate when you're on top or on the side of them. Abuse this to walk off and jump onto the bricks and onto the blasters over and over. You can jump from the bricks straight to the cannon on the bricks if you sprint well. To perform the big jump, you should just go to the right of the 1 block pole by tapping slowly until Mario only has one foot on the ground. Then, sprint rightwards and jump earlier than you think. The rest should be easy.

For 8-3, assuming you're Small Mario, nstantly sprint past the first Bullet Blaster and Parakoopa. Then jump over the second blaster and sprint over to the pipe. Wait until the plant and the bullets are past then jump over and then go a little past it then back onto it to see the Hammer Brothers well. Here, you should wait until one or both of them go onto the lowest floor, then both of their cycles send them onto the top or middle floor, top being most favourable. When there's a gap in their hammers, run under them and instantly kill them by hitting the brick under them. If one was on the top platform, wait while being slightly to the left or right of them;

Comment 2/3

Flareon 26 Aug 2024 18:44

if they drop down to the middle floor, you can kill them easily. If they drop down to the bottom floor, stay right next to them and move slowly with them; the hammers should be thrown too high to hit you. Wait until they move to another platform, then kill them. Once you do that, there should be a powerup on the highest row of bricks, on the second to last brick.

You can continue onward with some easier obstacles, until you reach the second group of Hammer Brothers. Do the same thing as before, being careful not to pan the camera too far. Once they're dead, there's a Fire Flower on the second brick of the top row. After that, it's really easy and you can kill everything from a distance with fireballs. You probably won't have much time left, so do the final jumps fairly quickly if needed. Now you've cleared the hardest stage of Super Mario Bros. Deathless.

In 8-4, you should have a fire flower. Watch a video for the exact path, but it's essentially:

-First pipe after lava pit
-Floating pipe, there is invisible block to the left of it
-First pipe after lava pit

You should be very careful among
the level and kill enemies with fireballs. You have a ton of time.

For the water part, you can spam jump for the first room, and for the second should kill the enemies with fireballs and mostly stick to the ground. You can lure them into swimming very high as well.

You've made it. The final screen between you and winning Super Mario Bros. Deathless and winning this awesome Hardcore achievement legitimately.

Kill the Hammer Brother from afar. Now, remember to sprint for the big jump.

This is it. Now, kill Bowser/Koopa King with fireballs from afar for an extra achievement. If you get hit, abuse the invincibility frames and sprint to the right and kill this lizard once and for all. GG.

Hope my guide could have helped some people out there. I spent way too long on this.

You should now get;
-Toasty!
-Master Plumber W8
-Starman Challenge

Tengo que agradecer a Flareon por tomarse el tiempo de haber escrito tres comentarios de gran longitud para explicar brevemente pero con suficiente detalle el como conseguir este logro en Hardcore
Un saludo
