Alguém falou nos comentários que na 8-3 deve-se usar a tela pra engolir a primeira dupla de hammer bros e aproveitar a deixa para pegar o cogumelo na ponta superior... Isso salvou minha run de um jeito inacreditável, porque eu, de alguma forma, consegui chegar no Bowser inteiro, mas tomei dano nele e saí correndo feito louco pra pular no machado da ponte. Deu certo. Então se atentem a esse cogumelo. Pode ser uma defesa importante na tentativa de vocês

The last one of my first RA set. I'm too old to be patient enough facing 8-3 Hammer Bro. Modern gamepad doesn't help either.

holy GG that sucked

How are people dying on 8-4 to the fish 8-3 is about 300x harder

This is torture on mobile, however switching to PC actually made this pretty fun. There are good strategies you can figure out on your own that make this quite the adventure.

Don't try to jump over hammer bros like you would in a speedrun. Just train on savestates and learn to run under their jumps with 100% reliability. Than the only hard-ish thing about this would be Bowser.

Worst achievement in the entire set. My advice is to grab a mushroom from 8-3 and use it to damage boost off of either the Hammer Bro or Bowser in 8-4. The first set of Hammer Bros. in 8-3 has a mushroom in the top row bricks second to last. Advice for getting it is to wait for the bros to be either on the top row of bricks or on the ground and zoom past them onto the staircase after them. There you can slowly progress the screen and despawn them with enough room to grab the mushroom safely. For the remaining Hammer Bros, do the same thing for the second pair of them like with the first. The 5th, 6th, and 8th ones I just recommend doing yolo jumps over. The 7th one can be baited by waiting on the pipe beforehand and jumping over him when he gets close.

First try got to 8-3 as big Mario.

I was confident the rest is gonna be easy. After all i stocked up on lives in 3-1.

So I could indefinitely try to pass hammer bros / Bowser.

So first canon shots a bullet bill. I jump over it to land on a second one which came immediately after.

Really disgusting.

As for the hammer bros. I'm confident I can pass them. After playing this hack:

There is also a level were you get no power ups and have to pass 4 bros.

So in the end i only grabbed the free one up in 8_1. Because every time i abused lives in 3-1 I just fucked it up.

Now thanks to coin collector breezing through 8-1 and 8-2 was no big issue (Pro tip in 8-2 you can run and jump on most of the canons to pass the really hard bits).

In 8-3 I passed the first two hammer bros and despawned them. Then grabbed the Mushroom.

Pass Hammer bros 3.4,5,6 all below.

For 7 and 8 I used damage boost by accident and went through the castle big.

Then the rest is easy if you pass the hammer bro and bowser when they jump.

This achivement is easily the hardest if you don't have a mushroom and you don't luck out in 8-3 with the hammer bros. I barely managed to get it because I damage boosted in 8-3, and just ran past Bowser when he jumped.

Also the bullet bills are legit annoying, you will accidentally jump on one on total accident.

Flareon 8 Jan 2025 15:38

Just go fast like Sonic and the bullet bills will bend to your will.

fun and rewarding challenge

GriC 21 Jan 2025 13:59

I liked the pacifist challenges of the previous worlds but world 8 is just cruel. Theres way too much randomness to develop consistent muscle memory.

Bullet bill shot intervall? Random!
Hammer bros hammer throws? Random!
Hammer bros jumping intervall? Seems to be random too.

Sure there are paths you can take to minimize the randomness but to a certain extent its still there.

And if you fail you have to start from 8-1 again which is just a really long level without much going on...

ADVISE FOR 8-3: After the first set of hammer bros you have to jump on stairs leading down. After you are on the stairs, advance the screen just enough to despawn the hammer bros. You should still have the last blocks of the two rows of bricks on your screen. The second to last brick on the top row has a mushroom in it which you can now grab without much danger. Just make sure it doesnt fall into the pit!

Alright, now off to the coin collector challenges.

sandro4912 21 Jan 2025 14:34

for bullet nills my tip would be that in 8-2 if you are fast for most way you can jump over everything so you are safe.

But yeah it can still happen in 8-3 that you randomly hit one. it canbe avoided by walking until you are near them.

Consegui passar pelo 8-4 de primeira com o Mario pequeno, esquivando do Hammer Bro e do Bowser. Admito que foi pura sorte, RNG decidiu cooperar. Nunca mais tenho essa sorte 😅

SpectralOrion 20 Mar 2025 22:27

Oi vey, this one's a pain in the ass. I have never wanted to massacre all the Bullet Bills in the Mushroom Kingdom before now.

Leeges 25 Mar 2025 14:54

Almost got it but you can't even remove wings on turtle which I did by mistake.. even got to bowser dang

PassolargoProds 26 Mar 2025 01:39

What makes this difficult and even unbearable is the fact that there is a lot of RNG. Apart from that, the challenge is quite easy.

Some tips: 8-1, just run. 8-2, do "parkour" over the cannons and no bullet bill will hit you. To do this, whenever Mario touches the surface of the ground or the cannon, release the directional pad and jump, adjusting the distance of the jump while in the air. Whenever he touches the ground, release the directional pad.

8-3, yes, it is indeed possible to use the screen to take away the first two Hammer Bros., and on the penultimate upper block, there is a power up. For the second pair, just bring them to the screen, wait on the ground behind the pipe until they are also on the ground, then jump to the upper block.

Now the worst part, there are 4 Hammer Bros, which sets your chances of success with the power up to 1 in 4, in fact there is a pattern when they jump, I could notice it through the speedrun timer, but it is very complex at least for me to follow this pattern, so I went by luck, if that's the case, just jump through the 4 and hope not to get hit or hit one of them.

8-4 the only secret, after leaving the water level, is to wait for the Hammer Bro to start chasing you, being on top of the pipe you can easily dodge when he advances, if you have your power up just go past Bowser and GG.

I know this is unnecessary, but just to vent... I want to stick these HAMMERS in these beasts' ❤❤❤❤❤

This Achievement has been the least fun that i have gone out of my way to do on this website.

Its just pure muscle memory training and it has no real nuance to make it entertaining in any way, didn't feel like i achieved anything doing it, it was just an arbitrary chore/task to get out of the way.

To anyone who wants to enjoy themselves with a Mario achievement set, this achievement right here is the bane of fun and its just there to "Weed" out the so called Casual players, same with the Treasure Hunter Achievements which honestly didn't even need to be a thing.

very hard chevo but... learn the layout of the level, the level cheat to start on world 8 is your best friend here, 8-1 not hard at all was doing speed run without trying at the end, 8-2 little more tricky a wayward bill will kill the run, get over the leap of faith hole and go down the pipe to reset the level and get rid of some enemies make sure to get a buff by grabbing the mushroom... 8-3 pray to the rng gods... my run i took leap of faith and the bros were on the bottom, 2nd set they also let me have a clean run, bro 5 to 8 got lucky and just ran and jumped em none of em ever shot a hammer to hit me, 8-4 3rd room pray rng is good and the cheap cheaps either dont appear or fly too far ahead... last room i tanked the hammer bro and got super lucky with bowser with his hammers jumped over him and got my chevo... very hard but can say very sastifying to get
