Twitch Plays Pokémon is an internet phenomenon where live stream viewers are able to input commands into a chat box and play through entire Pokemon games together. Although it might seem like yesterday, this social experiment actually started out in 2014. Since then, there have been countless Twitch Plays Pokémon live-streams.
As viewers are now a lot more familiar with the concept, GBAtemp user Sasori has decided to mix it up with the release of Twitch Plays Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The challenge is to play through the World of Light while unlocking all of the characters. Right now, it's early days, so as you can imagine, there are a lot of defeats. Here's a bit more about it from the creator:
After a few months of hiatus I've finally finished working on my next project! As you can tell from the title it is another Twitch Plays style of channel, as I wanted to see just how well a bunch of random players could work together to complete the World of Light and maybe even unlock all of the Characters in the newest SSB game!
It's been going on now for about 24 hours, and we've only made it a few battles in on the WoL but I'm still amazed to see players adapting and learning how to work around the challenge that a channel of this nature poses onto them to make progress.
Do you think the internet can unlock every character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and complete the World of Light mode? Tell us down below and participate here.

...this is going to take a looooooooooong time.
Fun times will be had by all as this goes on for the next few years...
Just try it, I did and I had no hope of ever beating one stage
I have my doubts that they'll ever complete this one. The only reason it works for Pokemon is the turn-based nature... If they can even get past the first fight in WOL, I'll be amazed. Lol
I loved WOL myself. It added a lot of replay to the game.
Seems kind of pointless?
My 17 months boy managed to win one battle while holding the switch up side down, so they might do it. PS, he found and started it himself, I don’t let him play normally, nor watch, but I just had to see how it would go!
@Mortenb That’s amazing!! 😂
The hardest challenge is probobl gonna be selecting a spirit
Amazingly I actually 100% WoL within the first 3 weeks the game came out.
[Well now that I say it out loud 3 weeks is a long time to 100% a 25-hour game.]
@MH4 Yeah, I’m glad I’m a Nintendo fan though. Wouldn’t be that fun to see him do a fatality in Mortal Combat, haha!
So this is actually pretty doable with pause buffering strategies, OP spirits, and a lot of patience. The main obstacle is trolls that come into chat and type commands to quit out of the battles.
@Regpuppy already says they’re a few battles in though.
I don’t think this will happen for reasons previously stated. Some of the harder stages are pretty brutal and good luck equipping the right spirits for the job!
@ShadJV whoops, didn't catch the second quote. Saw the ad before it and I kind of swiped down at that point. Color me amazed then. Still a far cry from beating it. But it's much further than I expected.
@Regpuppy yeah, I doubt they’ll make notable progress, the first few battles are so easy you don’t even need to try, but can you imagine them doing that final fight? It requires decently fast reflexes. Not that they’ll probably get even close to there. Even if it was just one person in chat, the input lag will be too much to actually get through any challenging battles, and when they hit ones that require certain spirits... yeah it just won’t happen.
@ShadJV Yeah, the boss fights especially will be a problem. For a regular person, it's just reading a pattern. But a crowd of people doing that together, with 7+ second delay, it just seems virtually impossible. At least in any realistic timeframe.
This sounds crazy enough that I'd actually watch some footage. I lost interest in TPP ages ago.
This would be hilarious to watch! Especially for the harder fights.
