00:05 Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're looking at the hardest unlockables in Nintendo games,

00:10 whether they be characters, items, modes, or otherwise.

00:30 The Sound Off Badge - Super Mario Bros. Wonder

00:33 [Gameplay]

00:38 Super Mario Bros. Wonder follows similar footsteps to its predecessors,

00:41 including an ultra-hard final level that brutalizes even the most skilled players.

00:46 But before you can get to it, and therefore earn the game's secret badge,

00:50 you've gotta put in the work. Players need to find every Wonder Seed, every Flower Coin,

00:55 and reach the top of the goalpost for every level.

00:58 Then you have to do the same for all levels in the Special World. No small feat.

01:02 You then have to conquer the last stage, the Final Final Test Badge Marathon,

01:07 one of the most difficult challenges in any Mario game.

01:11 Your effort earns you the Sound Off Badge, which turns all sound effects into acapella noises.

01:16 [Gameplay]

01:20 The Sword of Kings - Earthbound

01:22 [Gameplay]

01:26 When it comes to tough unlockables, the RPG genre has you covered. Earthbound,

01:30 one of the most famous in Nintendo's catalog, is a prime example. The game features the Sword of

01:36 Kings, an item that gives a significant damage boost to Ness' ally, Pooh. You can only unlock

01:41 it by fighting Starman Supers, enemies that only appear in the Stonehenge base. Unfortunately,

01:47 you have to fight quite a lot of them. The Sword only has a 1 in 128 chance of appearing,

01:54 less than a single percent. Jeff, another ally, has an ability to see and steal items enemies

02:00 may be carrying, which does alleviate some of the stress. But there's no guarantee

02:05 that will help with the grind.

02:06 [Gameplay]

02:11 Golden Gun - GoldenEye 007

02:13 [Gameplay]

02:19 The N64's groundbreaking FPS is still fondly remembered for its multiplayer. But the

02:24 single-player campaign could actually get a little tough, especially when playing on the

02:28 highest difficulty, 00Agent. This adds more objectives and enemies to every level, while

02:34 also limiting your resources and having you take more damage. By beating every other level this

02:39 way, the secret Egyptian level would be unlocked, as well as the chance to gain the overpowered

02:44 Golden Gun. In a certain room, you'd have to walk across floor tiles in a specific order to

02:50 nab it at the end. This would unlock the weapon in multiplayer, allowing whoever got it the

02:54 chance to one-shot everyone else.

02:56 [Gameplay]

03:01 Zero Suit Samus Artwork - Metroid Dread

03:04 [Gameplay]

03:09 It's no secret that Metroid Dread is a hard game on its own. But unlocking all the artwork

03:14 in its galleries takes the patience of a saint. Players can get certain pieces of art after

03:18 collecting 100% of the items and upgrades for each of its eight areas. That certainly

03:24 takes quite a bit of time. However, other pieces representing Samus' past adventures

03:28 are only unlocked after beating the game on a specific difficulty and within certain time

03:33 requirements. There are six in total, with the most challenging being unlocked after

03:37 beating the game on hard mode in under four hours. Only after gaining all of them will

03:42 you get the final piece of Samus in her Zero Suit.

03:45 [Gameplay]

03:50 The Super Suit - Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars

03:54 [Gameplay]

03:58 One of the more unique elements in Mario's first RPG were action commands during battle.

04:03 Pressing the right button at the right moment could have you deal more damage, or take less

04:07 from an enemy. One of Mario's signature attacks was the super jump. By pressing the

04:11 attack button right when Mario landed on an enemy's head, he'd continue to jump until

04:15 you missed. However, in Monstro Town, there's an NPC that challenges you to making 100

04:21 consecutive jumps. Your timing obviously has to be sublime, and messing up can be downright

04:27 disheartening. The Super Suit you earn is definitely worth it, as it gives major boosts

04:31 to Mario's stats and protects against status effects.

04:35 [Gameplay]

04:40 Playing on Foot - Star Fox 64

04:43 [Gameplay]

04:47 In Star Fox 64's Versus Mode, players could face off against friends in Arwings,

04:52 Tanks, or on Foot. But that last one took a lot of effort to unlock. You'd first have to

04:58 unlock Expert Mode by earning a medal on every level in the campaign. Each stage has different

05:03 numbers of enemies you need to defeat to earn its medal, but you also have to ensure all three

05:07 of your companions are still flying alongside you by the end. After earning that highest of

05:12 difficulty settings, selecting it and earning another medal on Venom, one of the more difficult

05:17 levels, would get you this secret multiplayer feature.

05:20 [Gameplay]

05:25 The Bomber's Ring - The Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages

05:29 [Gameplay]

05:37 The Zelda series has many unlockables that require a lot of work. Most of them are hard due to how

05:42 much time they take, but when it comes to purely testing your skill and your ability to keep calm,

05:47 the Bomber's Ring from Oracle of Ages is tough to top. The only way to get it is by playing one of

05:52 the most notoriously frustrating minigames in the series, a rhythm game where Link follows a Goron's

05:58 dance instructions. You must play on Platinum difficulty and must perfectly match the moves

06:03 across eight sequences, all of which are quite long. Even still, your prize is a random ring you

06:09 must get appraised, meaning there's no guarantee you'll get the Bomber's Ring even if you do win.

06:14 [Gameplay]

06:19 Mii Outfit B - Mario Kart Wii

06:22 [Gameplay]

06:26 Unlocking characters in Mario Kart isn't usually that big of a hassle. Most players can unlock them

06:31 simply by racing. In the Wii installment, it wasn't a character that gave us grief, but a

06:36 costume for our Miis to race in. There were a couple of ways to earn the Mii Outfit B, which

06:41 dressed male Miis like one of the plumbers and female Miis like one of the princesses. You could

06:46 play a combined 5,100 races and battles or win 5,000 online matches, both major time commitments.

06:55 Or you could unlock all expert staff ghosts across the 32 tracks, only done so by beating each of the

07:01 regular ones. While this final method theoretically took less time, that didn't make it easy.

07:06 [Gameplay]

07:13 Ho-Oh - Pokemon Colosseum

07:16 [Gameplay]

07:21 There are certain Pokemon that are a pain to catch across the mainline games, but the level of

07:26 commitment it takes to unlock the legendary Ho-Oh in the GameCube spin-off Colosseum is honestly

07:32 ridiculous. The game revolves around snagging shadow Pokemon, those that have been corrupted

07:37 and which you must purify. In addition to beating the game, players must purify all 48 possible

07:43 shadow Pokemon. Afterwards, you'll head to the aptly named Mount Battle, where you must take a

07:48 team of six, without changing any of them, through 100 increasingly tougher battles.

07:53 Only after all that grinding will Ho-Oh appear in your PC.

07:57 [Gameplay]

08:02 Xavier - Fire Emblem Thracia 776

08:05 [Gameplay]

08:11 The Fire Emblem franchise is full of characters with obscure methods for unlocking,

08:16 though Xavier is the king of them all. Appearing in Thracia 776, already considered one of,

08:22 if not the most difficult game in the series, the General is possible to recruit in Chapter 18.

08:27 He and several of his men have had loved ones kidnapped by the villain, and so you must free

08:32 those civilians first. But you also have to take those civilians with you into battle and have them

08:37 speak with the specific knight they're related to. Of course, there are also regular enemies that can

08:43 easily kill them and ruin the whole process. The knights that turn good can accidentally kill their

08:47 former allies, also ruining the process. Oh, and the only party member that can recruit Xavier

08:54 is Leaf. With so many ways for it to go wrong, the whole thing is a lesson in frustration.

08:59 [Gameplay]
