Another hard mode challenge with my friend Cj on Dolphin Netplay! This time the time ticked down way faster, making us race through courses quickly! Auto scrolling was also removed. Which turned 8-5 into a Mario Maker enemy spam moment.

There were some insane moments. In 3-4 I touched the flag with just 1 second left, we had to try speedrunning Bowser's fight, and saw lots of hilarious failures!

I learned some things: Fortress bosses need at least 4 or 5 spare seconds for your win to count. Dry Bones can get stuck in walls. The timer keeps ticking down only after beating Wendy in World 4's castle for some reason, while it stops for the others.

My Aibo ERS-7 Toby may have contributed in the background again...

The last NSMBW challenge was limited lives and no saving: youtu.be/4u5sXQXujPs
