Shout-out to JackBond1234 who gave me the idea to remake this video.

In this video, I manage to beat Bowser while CD-Streaming. "CD-Streaming" is when you remove a disc from the console to see how much of the actual level is in the system's memory, as the system loads the level in "chunks". Surprisingly, the WHOLE level is here. Cutscenes, voices, the final battle, everything is all loaded into RAM in a matter of a second.
In this example, I used a Wii U with a USB hard drive, so the "please insert disc" message wouldn't pop up. It achieves the same results, though.
Technical details follow.


This video shows that the Wii loads most of the level (Sound effects, models, textures, etc.) into RAM, so you can play most of the level without the disc. The only problem lies in the pre-rendered music, which is such a large file that the game is forced to load it off the CD a little at a time, resulting in the "Please insert disc" error message appearing. On stages with smaller music files (Beat Block galaxy and such) the music is able to load into the game's RAM, resulting in no error message. (or Beat Block might be synthesized.Probably that.)

Anyways, so I know there's no way to *Prove* I did this without inserting the disc, as there's no disc popup since I used a USB hard drive, and some people may say" Oh, you just changed the brstm files to silence on the disc, and then edited the loading screen at the end". And I say to them: try this for yourself. It will work. Or look at the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWd8-MOz-3U
