I BEAT NINJA GAIDEN... ON A FRICKIN' DANCE PAD!!!

[shadowmatt13]

By far, the hardest dance ever made.

[Santoryu87]

Nick, bro, you're friggin' insane. I had to show this video to one of my friends here. Really, this is crazy. When I get back home, you're going to beat my ass at every game we play.

[GamerLink5]

is it weird to say that I found playing Ninja Gaiden easier on the dance pad?

[westside619]

Now you must face Nega Ninja.

[superduperdrew12345]

The official ninja gaiden dance.

[loonatis]

now that you've mastered the dance pad, its time for the POWER GLOVE!!!!!

[DoodleMongoLP]

Now try Castlevania

[DJ17Nario]

@DoodleMongoLP That was the first game I beat on a dance pad. Did you not see the ending of the video!?

[DoodleMongoLP]

@DJ17Nario i know, just try it now with castlevania

[dstebbin]

You, sir, were trained by Chuck Norris!

[00GCGaming]

now try ghosts & goblins

[rocier]

Ur an adorable little nerd. GJ

[theguyinurbed]

ProtonJonSA send me from the Runawayguys :P

[XeindiorulezFTW]

I love playing on dance pads!

[pivotXPpro]

asians can do that without taking any damage to itself

[DJ17Nario]

@pivotXPpro I'd love to see that. :)

[Arachi123]

@DJ17Nario I'm asain... IS THAT A CHALLENGE!?!

[sooperlightupthing]

On a dance pad YEAH!

[jojosthenewblack]

Jewish star?

[ROFLWAWFUL]

This man must have legs of steel

[MrDowntemp0]

Hope he does Silver Surfer next

[Heemoproductions]

How much weight did you lose during the 8 months?

[TheKhanken]

The game was impossible enough on a controller... you poor, poor masochist you.

[MonnieSucksAtHalo]

The power rangers theme somehow fits this game.

[PeachToadstool]

Hey, congrats, Nario. Toward the end, you made the final form look so easy.  What was that? One hit to the head and one hit to the belly?

[DJ17Nario]

@PeachToadstool Obtain the Jump & Slash from 6-3, then use it on Jaquio Phase 3. Use 5 Ninpo on the head, and then 5 Ninpo on the core.

[PeachToadstool]

@DJ17Nario Okay; I think I understand that. I haven't touched Ninja Gaiden since the game was pretty new, and it wasn't for long.

[RDpinoy]

wow... how long did it take to master the wall climb

[DJ17Nario]

@RDpinoy The whole game. :)

[OrinCreed]

Holy shit... raised the bar on epic...

[TeddyChan2021]

Your skills my brother...undeniable...if I weren't already an adult, I would want to be you when I grow up...teach me master...

[crazypenguinmovies]

"You are slow as sloth taking shit"

[DJ17Nario]

@crazypenguinmovies Good quote.

At least I beat the game!

[IAMDARKWOMAN]

i stand... corrected....

[Evorevolutioner]

OMG 40,000 views and this is so fire right now. 6 dislikers can't do like nario can.

[AllAboutNerds]

holy shit thts fucking shit that was insane

[xDOUBTMENOWx]

Awesome job seen this on HCG Face Book great job !

[AngelusDlion]

I can't even beat that game with a controller. Color me VERY impresse

[minstrelbard]

I think this makes you officially a ninja.

[MonkiiGirl]

tell me why you talk like Napoleon Dynamite?

[skatehead3]

I have but one word to describe this video:

DAAAAAMMMMMMMMN!

[BooglesMcGee]

Forget wii fit or any of those other "get in shape" games, I'm doing this.

[Rockman1047]

Champ

[Draconiator]

Amazing and all...but cut it with the being cheesy will ya? lol

[millsmoney]

@Draconiator That's how he really is :)

[webjacky]

great job man, awesome!

[ZangetsuEdge]

Wow you must have been a real Foot Ninja.

[CrashMcCloudX29]

4 People couldn't even beat this with a controller.

[kosK1D]

Anyone Else Thinks That's Tom From Even Stevens?

[deatheven13]

This is fairly amazing. Reminds me of an article in an ancient Nintendo Power about the kid who beat mario 3 with his feet because he was born without or had something bad happen to his hands.

[iLiketoSayRawr]

lmao loved that shit...

NOT AGAIN!

[Waterkipz]

you've got one of those light switches many Asian countries use. Are you abroad in Japan perhaps?

[DJ17Nario]

@Waterkipz Nope! I live in a small town in Kentucky.

[HealyHQ]

@DJ17Nario Ha! Dude, I live in a small town in KY. Small world. Glad to know this state isn't short on badasses, 'cause man, you are badass! :D

[DJ17Nario]

@HealyHQ haha, cool! I live in Elizabethtown, one hour south of Louisville. And trust me, I know what you mean when it comes to B.A. dudes, I've got a bunch of friends who are super cool and seriously talented and have potential of being famous and all that cool stuff! They're probably reading this comment now and knowing that I'm talking about them!! haha!

[HealyHQ]

@DJ17Nario No way! I was just in E'Town today! Small world indeed. I live in Lebanon, just a little southeast of E'Town. And yeah, I know what ya mean. I've got a few friends who I just know are gonna go to do great things with their lives. I, myself, aspire to be a famous author one day. But I just don't see it happening. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try though. :) I'm very impressed with the things that you've done here and the videos on your channel. You're awesome man! Keep bein' awesome. :D

[DJ17Nario]

@HealyHQ haha, sweet! Maybe we can meet up someday or something.

Did you hear of this video from any place in particular, by any chance?

[HealyHQ]

@DJ17Nario I did, actually. You can thank Kotaku for leading me to your video. :)

[DJ17Nario]

@HealyHQ Really! I noticed that they didn't have a thumbnail for that article, so I was afraid that some weren't going to check it out--now look! :D

[xviewtifuljoex]

Amazing job simply incredible...now do Battletoads.

[MyLittleGamerBlog]

cool stuff man.. posted it on our blog

[DJ17Nario]

@MyLittleGamerBlog Thanks!!

[darienCR]

Ninja ninja revolution.

[TheMario901]

I like how it skips from 6-3 to 6-5. Totally legit.

[crunchypeanut]

@TheMario901 check 3.20

[DJ17Nario]

@TheMario901 That's how the game works, I don't like it either, try it for yourself: get to 6-5, die, then reach your way back. You'll see.

[saiyanwill]

my hero <3

subbing just because of this.

Awesome

[MrDVd20]

Fucking christ!

[Minority119]

that's how it was done back in the day

XD

[Savin877]

3 people arent hardcore enough to dance their way to victory!

[TheCuddlyKnife]

LOL, someone needs to meme this guy.

[DJ17Nario]

@TerraBemani YES! Gamers-in-the-know are awesome!!!

[onizukademongto]

3 people can't dance on a pad. DanceNinja THEY ARE NOT.

XD

[bobdotexe]

3 People can't Dance.

[kubevubin]

Wow...I can't believe you actually pulled this off. Great job, man!

Oh, and yeah, that Power Rangers song kicks ass.

[DJ17Nario]

@kubevubin Yeah, you can scroll enemies out of existence. There are also "time freeze" objects hidden in the "candles" throughout the levels too.

And yeah dude, Armcannon's rendition of Go Go Power Rangers rocks!

[kubevubin]

@DJ17Nario - Amusingly, I don't even like the original version of the song. This one's great, though. :P

[Skyshadow733]

You're the bestest!

[whitetrashshayno]

I'm calling shanigens. What system are you playing this on the wii? I understand you cannot but the dance pad on a nes or snes but there is seirusly something going on here, the lack of enemies on the screen makes zero sense. Even if tihs is some sort of dumbed down version it's amazing you danced your way to victory but something is fishy here.

[kubevubin]

@whitetrashshayno - The "lack of enemies" is probably more so him using a trick to scroll enemies out of existence on the screen. I seem to recall that being possible in Ninja Gaiden.

[Kilualmighty]

You monsterful monster you.

[MrRavenwrath]

hey who made that solaris phase 2 Metal medley? i neeed it, thanks in advance

[DJ17Nario]

@MrRavenwrath That was Go Go Power Rangers by Armcannon. The song has nothing to do with Solaris from Sonic 2006.

[MrRavenwrath]

@DJ17Nario I totally messed it up i thought the first music piece was a medley from solaris phase 2, when it actually was the theme of sonic :D

[Oobgarm]

@MrRavenwrath

I'd also like to know as well.

[DJ17Nario]

@Oobgarm There is no "Solaris 2 Metal medley." The song you first hear is called " Theme of Sonic the Hedgehog ~ 2006 E3 Version ~". It is in the trailers for the game, the song is also used at the Press Start screens on both the demo and the retail game, and it's also available on the "Sonic The Hedgehog Original Soundtrack". No one person arranged it, as the song is official.

[Oobgarm]

@DJ17Nario Many thanks. I kinda gathered that from some continued research, but I appreciate you hitting the nail on the head for me.

[DJ17Nario]

@Oobgarm Glad I could help! The game is so bad, but that song is so good!

[Ghostrill]

what the song used in this video?

[DJ17Nario]

@Ghostrill Which song? Tell me when it plays and I'll let you know what it's from; I give credit to most songs throughout the video via annotations.

[ACrazyShotgun]

Damn dude, this was extremely impressive and I know how hard Ninja Gaiden is. I'm awaiting your next LP on a dancepad but in no rush. You deserve a break. I really enjoy your videos and its amazing what you do.

[sorburin]

This is truly epic. GZ man.

[otnatrah]

congratz man...

u are the best!

[streifig]

Nario, I'm proud I'm your friend and you wouldn't want to beat me on a dance pad.

[DragonFire1984]

What game are you doing next? Just curious.

[Pangjunmin]

how can you beat the boss at 6:07 in 2 hits?

[DJ17Nario]

@Pangjunmin Obtain the Jump & Slash at 6-3 (assuming you've beaten the second form beforehand), use the Jump & Slash on the head, then use the Jump & Slash on the core (or, as I like to say, SLASH THE CORE!). Presto!

[cssMooJuice]

You sound a lot like Axel from that show called "The Middle". You should check that out!

[NickDeperto]

also, i submitted this to gameinformer(dot)com. I think they should post this. :D

[DJ17Nario]

@NickDeperto Oh wow! Thanks! Here's hoping!

[NickDeperto]

i like how you edited your feet in and stuff. this is a very hard game (from what a remember). The fact that you beat it on a dance pad is crazy...

[njoker555]

that's a great way to exercise. Now market this!!

[jakoblangley]

Badass, a hero you are sir.

[Jimbo7676]

Well done sir.

[aureliomanalo]

Now to turn this same level of determination to other prospects. I applaud your will.

[Matsuda5555]

Holy Sh!t this was amazing I know I skipped some of the parts, but with my limited internet time frames... Never fear for I will watch them all when I have more time. Seriously though congratulations I can't wait for the next dance pad game!!!

[Demonstray]

Absolutely phenomenal, Nario. As usual! :D

Officially, "Nario" has become the largest measurement for determination, and power of will.

[Khelil]

Holy crap, awesome! Go Nario!!

[halberdierv2]

congrats man. you have done what I have not on a normal controller.

[DJ17Nario]

@halberdierv2 Oh, but you can! Just a few months ago, I was like you: I could not beat Ninja Gaiden with a normal controller. But now, I can easily beat all three forms of Jaquio with my hands, and without the Jump & Slash too! If I can go from Zero to Hero, then you can too! :D

[msvhazard]

@DJ17Nario That......was inspiring. Thank you, good sir.

[danimal201]

YEAH NARIO!

[DJ17Nario]

@danimal201 Thanks for letting me use your Power Rangers song!!! :D

[Mrzeebub]

Absolutely awesome, Nario. A great accomplishment, indeed.

[MrKevstro]

Is that in his world from sonic the hedgehog?

[DJ17Nario]

@MrKevstro As said in the annotations during the video, yes! :) I think it's a great song.

[MrKevstro]

@DJ17Nario Wow I didn't even notice, I was focusing on the foot action lol.

[DJ17Nario]

@MrKevstro haha! It's all good!

[omenofthephoenix]

Well done, epic.



[SquidMan64]

Holy shit that's insane

[Shnabubula]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS@@!!!

[radio667]

EPIC WIN !!

[bassistofclosson]

NARIO! NARIO! NARIO!

[Evorevolutioner]

yeeeeeeeeeessssssss. I knew u f*******KKKKKKing did it. I am so in galdness with u. Mr. Hagman and it was well worth the 8 months

[taith2]

so what you gonna play next? battletoads?

[bassistofclosson]

@taith2 Seriously, don't give him any ideas. He's my friend and I'd be concerned about his health if he took on that challenge XD

[DJ17Nario]

@taith2 I've thought about it! I know people have been wanting it since Day One!

[MaddogExplosive]

Aaah, a one hit kill attack.  So that's how you managed this run without losing your sanity! Anyway, amazing job!

[DJ17Nario]

@MaddogExplosive Who says I'm still sane? :D But thanks!

[LunarAura]

Next video should be yourself doing this in a ninja outfit.

[kmalister]

DUDE YOU ARE CRAZY DON'T DO THIS SHIT MAN YOU'LL FUCKING AGE EARLY

[DJ17Nario]

@kmalister Totally worth it.

[AdyShearer]

Good job Elvis.

[DJ17Nario]

@AdyShearer ahaha, YES.

[DragonFire1984]

Oh shit! That was... incredible.

[Simianradio]

Well played, good sir! *golf claps* You have the makings of a true madman! Now go forth, ice your feet, relax, write some more music, but don't rest on your laurels. Oh no...see, I have a challenge for you.

Can you beat Ghouls 'n Ghosts...the Sega Genesis version...on a dance pad?

Since I'm the sporting kind, I've not only chosen the easiest of the GnG series, but I'll even gift it to you just so you can make it happen.

So Mr. Hagman...are you a bad enough dude to take my challenge?

[DJ17Nario]

@Simianradio Goodness, that game looks tough! I appreciate the recommendation!

[Stauben]

I can't do much more than congratulate you and salute you.

Bloody well done.

[MissCatlady33]

Color me impressed! I'll have to be honest and say if I were half as frustrated as you were during all this I'd have said EFF U GAIZE and given up, so that's a lot of dedication on your part. It's really really cool you followed through on this and actually did it! ^^

I'm looking forward to see what you do next, whether it be dance pad related or music. Just don't stress yourself out too much. XD

[ansgaros]

sweet! wish i could have thumbsup'd this video at least a few dozen times... i sure wanted to. keep rocking the dance pad, Nick!

[millsmoney]

Nario you are a true champion.

[MrNikkozo]

oh hey nick whats the name of the song you put at the very end after you beat the game? I want it!

[DJ17Nario]

@MrNikkozo It's from the Ninja Gaiden soundtrack. I honestly don't know what it's called! Try looking up "Ninja Gaiden Act 4 Part 2 Music" on YouTube. It's also Track 15 on the .nsf

[z0diak1990]

Proud of ya, Nario.

You are among the gods now.

[DJ17Nario]

@z0diak1990 Thanks dude!

[Tempren]

Awesome, Nario. Just plain awesome, dude. Well done.

[SoftComet]

Holy Crap !!! Congratulations!!! :D

[FreezingInfernos]

Holy goddamn, you went through the dread Act 6 not once, not twice, but thrice! Props and congrats and whatnot to you. I'm curious, how long was this before you sped up the backtracking bits? Also do you have anything planned for your next dance pad magic?

[DJ17Nario]

@FreezingInfernos I spent 23 minutes straight playing this. I was so exhausted afterwards that I actually got really sick last night! I'm feeling better now, though.

Yes, plans... I'm going to wait a few days to see the reactions to this video, then I'll announce what I plan on doing next.

[ZombieRyushu]

No words can describe how incredible and amazing you are!

[Torn0023]

Congratulations Mate!

[RealDadaph]

A winner is you!

This is just epic!

Congratulations man :D

[MrNikkozo]

Yes!!!! Nario, Please, make another viral video! I miss the you who was the talk of the town in ages passed.

[DJ17Nario]

@MrNikkozo I don't know how my other videos went viral. Just share this with your friends and hope for the best!

[Arka48]

Great work. I can just about guarantee you will be the only human being ever to do this. That sounds sarcastic but it definently is not.

[DJ17Nario]

@Arka48 I wish that others would do this kind of thing!

[Tinaddar]

Jump and slash is just a little ridiculous, isn't it?

Well done, you crazy bastard!

[DJ17Nario]

@Tinaddar It sure is! Thanks a bunch!

[freefang]

Nice job

[MisheardMusic]

Win.
