super mario odyssey jump rope world record

I was mentally tossing up between buying an older GameCube controller (with adapter) which would be easy to hack, or using a solenoid to physically press a button on a Switch controller, both seemed like viable solutions, but after getting outbid on the first few GameCube controllers selling on eBay I settled on the solenoid route.Īfter completing 835 of the 836 unique challenges in Mario, I turned all my attention back to the final moon. My first thought was to simply program an Arduino to bridge the connectors for the jump button on a Switch controller, but thankfully I checked the iFixit teardown first because Nintendo controllers since the Wii use dome switches instead of the conductive rubber pads, which makes that impossible (for some fun reading see the evolution of Nintendo controllers over the years). Press jump for too long and… you guessed it, you fail.Īfter a few dozen or so failed attempts I started joking that I’d just build something to beat it for me… and as the days went by and I still hadn’t finished the challenge my joking turned more serious and I started wondering how to do it. But the trick is every five jumps it speeds up until 50, until you’re jumping almost twice a second. You just need to successfully jump 100 times in succession.

But one of them gave me more trouble than all the others combined: Jump-Rope Genius in the Metro Kingdom. So much so that I went out of my way to complete every last challenge. Super Mario Odyssey is quite possibly my favorite Mario game.
