Hello you lovely mario maker person, my name
is ceave and welcome back.
Today it’s finally time that we take a closer
look at the idea of the year award winning
hydradra.
So I set down and tried to come up with different
designs capturing the main idea behind the
hydradra and I have to admit I failed.
There really isn’t much more to improve
on this idea as the hydradra already reached
a level of perfect terror and threat.
So instead of disarming the hydradras horror
by changing their perfect terrifying parts
we are going to take a look on five other
fearsome and horrible creatures inspired by
greek mythologie.
So are you ready?
Let’s do this!
For our first idea mario has to enter a cave
where a horrible creature lives.
This creature was once a stunning beauty,
but she angered a goddess, and got transformed
into the ugliest creature in the mushroom
kingdom.
She became the medusa.
Her horrible look is too much for any living
creature to bear.
Looking directly at her transforms stone … blocks
into shiny coins and forces the looker to
fall to his death.
Sadly for mario bowser built this stage directly
on top of the medusa-lair.
So if mario wants to reach his flagpole he
needs to find a way around this horrific creature
without looking at her.
Luckily for mario there is a spring at the
left wall at the beginning of the stage.
If mario runs into this spring he is able
to perform the jumps for which he is so well
known without turning around.
This allows him to get the other spring which
is directly under the medusa's face and the
pow-block which he needs to escape.
Hooray, mario managed to solve this room without
looking at the medusa directly!
So how does this work?
It’s actually surprisingly simple.
Out of sight are boos in clown-cars hidden.
Boos in clown cars only move if mario doesn’t
look at them.
So if mario shows them his back, they start
to move and push the pow-block one block further,
which pushes the p-switch into the muncher.
But this don’t look right design has one
small weakness.
It only works as long as at least the springs
are visible on screen, as the boo-clown isn’t
loaded otherwise.
So if you are looking for a don’t look left
design that always works you should check
out an amazing tutorial by likandooTV.
You can find the link to his video in the
description.
Our next horrible and terrifying creature
lives in the center of an evil place called
labyrinth.
Mario needs to make his way through this terrible
place in order to save his beloved princess.
But no one who ever entered the labyrinth
before left it again.
Our ancient plumber has to make his way through
this confusing place.
Not only are the one way doors sending him
in different directions, but there are blocks
as well, which try to either push him off
from his current path, or to crush him entirely.
But that’s just the beginning because deep,
in the center of this maze a horrible creature
lives.
A creature called Mecha-bowzilla-hydra-taur.
This terrifying beast has the body of a mecha-bowzilla
and the head of a hydra.
Mario has only one option left.
Running.
But the beast is able to follow him using
it’s perfect dark body to perform graceful
jumps.
And sadly for our plumber the exit is blocked
by a moving wall.
His only chance to survive now, is to dodge
the creature's attacks until he reaches the
exit door.
Wow mario survived.
No one ever survived an encounter with the
mecha-bowzilla-hydra-taur before.
This makes the beast so angry that it starts
to destroy some of it’s own parts.
The next creature our plumber hero has to
face is terrifying as well.
It’s a cyclops.
But this cyclops is no ordinary cute cyclops
like the one odysseus has slayn.
No, because this one is not only huge and
strong, but has biting dogs as hands and spits
fire as well.
Poor mario, he was really hoping he gets a
small break now.
Luckily mario studied everything about cyclops
back in his plumber-school days, so he knows
exactly that a cyclops only weakness is it’s
eye.
All that mario needs to do is to jump towards
it, and wait for the beast to explode!
Hooray mario survived even this fight.
Luckily mario doesn’t need to fight against
the next creature he faces.
As the next creature can’t be defeated by
combat, but by solving it’s riddle Mario
faces the sphinx.
The sphinx talks to him, she says:
Brave Plumber who stands before on the floor
I know you are seeking the exit door.
But be careful as I only let pass those which,
show me an incredibly complicated way to trigger
a p-switch.
It looks like there are three items in front
of the sphinx.
A pow-block a p-switch and a spring.
But mario can’t reach this p-switch, what
does the sphinx want him to do?
He needs more hints.
Luckily the sphinx is willing to give them
to him.
The first to trigger if you want to keep your
skin
is the one you encountered first with your
twin
The second to trigger if you want to live
is the oldest of the options which I give.
Hm… it looks like mario has to activate
the three items in a specific order.
The first he should trigger is the one he
encountered first with his twin.
What does the sphinx mean?
Oh of course, how obvious.
It’s the pow-block as mario’s first encounter
with a pow-block was in mario bros. together
with luigi back in 1983.
Alright but what does the sphinx mean with
her second hint?
The oldest of the three options.
Hm… oh - of course, it’s the spring as
the spring appeared in mario's first game
ever.
Donkey Kong.
So if this is right That means that the last
option has to be the p-switch.
Let’s hope mario solved the riddle right
and that the sphinx disappears.
Wow, how cinematic.
Looks like mario nailed it!
The mechanism behind this is actually super
simple.
There is a small conveyor belt setup which
leads to all items falling down this hole.
Down here is a small contraption hidden.
The three items need to enter in exactly the
right order for the p-switch to get activated
and the pow-block to be triggered.
If they are sent down here in the wrong order
nothing happens and our plumber would be stuck
in the room above for eternity.
So there is only one terrifying creature left
mario has to defeat.
Sadly for mario this creature.
Is a hydra.
But it’s no ordinary hydra.
This hydra is carried by a strong young monty
mole.
Why would a monty mole be willing to carry
such a terrifying creature.
I have no idea, but something definitely went
wrong in his life, no sane monty mole would
be willing to do such a thing, but no ordinary
monty mole would be strong enough to do so
anyways.
Anyways mario has not only to dodge the terrifying
hydra-heads which try to bite him, but there
are three cannons on the bottom of a conveyor
belt as well which try to shoot him.
Wow, what a terrifying situation.
But mario survives even this, hooray.
