I stream these attempts sometimes on KZbin (~once a week) but most of them I stream on Twitch. Subscribe/Follow to tune in live for an inevitable new World Record! www.twitch.tv/kosmic

[@TheLastWanderingBard]

That last attempt on stream was so hype. A lot of us believed it was going to happen. Mainly because the stream had all the hallmarks of a Kosmic record break - it was December, Kosmic going on some mad random tangent (this time it was about the colour teal), chat going on their own mad tangent (about rice pudding), we had the motorcycle vroomer in the background multiple times, we even had Kosmic's "I think we just saved a framerule" and "what's going on?!" in there. We pretty much got a full house on the bingo card.

[@Kosmicd12]

Lol. Honestly, that's most streams (at least me ranting about teal is). I missed the rice pudding bit! Glad you enjoyed haha

[@michaelsperber3644]

We also had Kosmic saying “This is the run.” and “Let’s go!”

[@threehead99]

Just didn't have Bismuth calling it for the Bingo.

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@Kosmicd12 Is the rant that you hate the color? Because I don't like it as a color, it's neither green nor blue, it's just weird.

[@tacosunbirth]

It was truly hype to be there, but I don't remember anything about rice pudding. What really happened before the final run of the stream was that I started a chain in chat of people coming up with their own abbreviations for FPG, TAS, QTA, and other speedrunning terms

[@ketchy0932]

This just proves Kosmic is a legend

[@ZachGatesHere]

It feels like it's a when, not an if, for you to complete one on that pace. It was wild seeing it live.

[@Emcy]

if summonsingsalt ever does a world record progression for this game, this better be in it as one of those runs that would have been “the perfect run” that may never happen again

[@tammid8423]

We just gotta have some flagpole glitches to save the max amount of time

[@pesvids6673]

max verstappen saudi arabia vibes

[@fostena]

But first we have to explain what a "framerule" is. Imagine, a bus. 🚌

[@PierceArner]

These moments are always super cool, because there's the reminder that there's a lot of checking spreadsheets for patterns AND knowing what to do with all of them that helps to convey that there's a lot more to it than just the execution. You doing all of that _while being a blast to watch and explaining it as you go_ really is mind-blowing to me.

[@sledgen.]

I like how on the best pace ever, rather than get nervous he makes jokes about it. Nerves of steel oh my lord!!

[@danelyn.1374]

I honestly admire this so much, but it's honestly like after a huge amount of practice and commitment and that makes it even more incredible tbh

[@bfrog2010]

You got this record Kosmic! Can't wait to see you break it!

[@gbux07]

Watched this live. Was unbelievable to see all of these time saves stringing together.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

1980s me and current me both thank you for sharing your Mario skills. 🙏🙏

[@stmisbehavin662]

Pushing yourself like this changes "it's possible" into "I'm capable". I love seeing stuff like this!

[@kaboomkp]

Kosmic I’ve been aware of your WR runs for a while but you’ve been putting so much effort into your KZbin content and I just wanted to say it hasn’t gone unnoticed, been subscribed for a while and can see how hard you’re working at making good content based on the streams, keep it up 👍

[@aldo-tn]

The Kosmic Khips gave you so much power

[@OfcourseJimmy000]

Ate some today, they are the best khips

[@TehJosh]

What a great run, I'm sure you'll get it soon! As a total aside, I watch with closed captions and it makes me laugh every time the automatic captions pick up Mario's jump sound as the word "foreign". It's brilliant.

[@teo_heel]

I like how Kosmic can do some crazy stuff just because he wants that.

[@LocalManMakesMusic]

7:40 Yup that’s me. You’re probable wondering how I ended up in this situation…

[@Andrew__X]

Dude this is some insane stuff, gl on the grind!

[@GDTheRedTiger]

I legit joined the stream the run before this one and was just shocked at what i was seeing absolutly crazy

[@ratlungworm7035]

I caught the end of this run live, which is cool since I haven't actually watched a live speedrun before. Good call streaming it on KZbin.

[@redford_x3302]

I love when you upload about speedrun stuff i really enjoy watching it

[@tacosunbirth]

5-1 was truly cursed that day, everytime a run got to 5-1, I would hold my breath nervously in anticipation, fearing the worst but hoping for the best

[@yelir64]

Me when I get FPG in a run: holy cow this is the craziest thing ever Kosmic when he gets two: no big deal the run wasn't perfect lol

[@dominikdobrotic8298]

Fake speedrun video - guy eats pizza in the run Real speedrun video - guy wants to see his spreadsheet

[@nate-ox5lw]

Lmao

[@aireyroblox]

It was incredible being there to see the run! Too bad you got rekt by that 5-1.

[@ibookboyuk]

It's an absolute pleasure watching you play.

[@cinnoman.]

i was here during this and it was crazy seeing all this happen in one run! sucks that it ended to 5-1 tho

[@nicholas3354]

Best run I've ever seen (in my opinion). That was very exciting to watch.

[@LugborG]

I was there for that. Beautiful start to a run. You’ll get it eventually.

[@Nob1ej0n]

I was wondering why the video was only 9 minutes long, but suddenly it all made sense, haha. Good to see you could still make some content out of it.

[@fairrodthecapacitor]

GL on your future runs

[@zenbmonk1016]

It's a great day, when Kosmic uploads Always greatly appreciate your runs good Sir.

[@Kierio04]

I never watch kosmic streams and happened to show up to the stream when he was at 3-1. Was insane even just seeing the rest knowing what I was seeing

[@outputcoupler7819]

Such a great run. Any day now, I can feel it.

[@Tony_YT]

It would be awesome to see the chat stream alongside these videos 🎉

[@ChicDead26]

I cant believe you lost this rare, insane, unicorn run. Anyway, can't wait to see you get a new pb!

[@Marz776]

Well, this is in fact how records are broken and the skill ceiling rises

[@JakeRazorClawson]

Always appreciate your dedication to true smb2 ✌️ 🌟

[@DeepfriedBeans4492]

Yeah, no imaginary smb2 here

[@lukahmad5683]

I believe in you Kosmic!

[@repyukJC]

awesome one, can't wait to see you save the 2.5 seconds in the future

[@stigmaoftherose]

What is the RNG split comparison comparing to?

[@AriesFireTiger]

Good Effort! 👏👏👏

[@LinkBlade24]

The first two levels alone Are amazing

[@7Alberto7]

Incredible nontheless,stay strong and thank you

[@mattjackson2390]

I REALLY liked this vid!

[@sanderkvenild8947]

"That was still lots of fun", and that should be the main goal of videogames. It doesn't even matter that the run died if you had fun doing it.

[@gandalf8216]

Lost Levels is just a sequence of go right levels. In effect. I can beat all levels from muscle memory alone, they are all just keep to the right and jump at the right moments, with run button being constantly pressed.

[@Kosmicd12]

? Smb1 is way more like that than 2j is

[@gandalf8216]

@@Kosmicd12 The only level in LL, including 2j and SNES All Stars, that is in any way a break to the cycle is 4-3, 7-3 and 8-2. The other levels are mirrors or alternations on these levels, but no paradigm is changed.

[@Kosmicd12]

@@gandalf8216 how are you including 8-2 but not 5-3 and 7-2? How did you pick 4-3 of all stages? That's one of the most hold right and jump stages in the game lol. 7-1 has a ton of paths, 3-1 a bunch of secret areas, all the castle stages in worlds 3 through D are very interesting and good, world 9 is clearly an unusual set of levels, good luck beating 2-2 while just holding right and jumping, the water levels are well designed, yeah... I don't really understand this take. Most 2d mario is "a sequence of go right levels." smb1 is the biggest of all of these. If you're focused purely on beating them, smb1 stages are like entirely uninteresting. 2j is much more interesting in that regard, and of all the stages to praise, you picked 4-3 which has to be the most go right level in the game lol. Can I see the muscle memory in action? $100 for a stream of worlds 1 through D in under 1 hour.

[@joshuapatrick682]

In all honesty my favorite part was the end where he talked about how this won’t even be a good pace in the future despite calling the video best Pace ever. Also, why are the Goombas Gray now?!?

[@NullScar]

Holy cow. Man is living on the edge. The edge of a sub pixel.

[@otakubullfrog1665]

I'm pretty sure the finished product will be coming soon here. If we consider individual worlds as separate categories, did that run set a new record for World 1?

[@Kosmicd12]

I think just tied best run out of w1. Could be beaten for sure by over a second actually. There's so much time possible, it's just crazy hard to it *all*

my idea: make a smb1 all stars speedrun on a ps2 (snes station)

[@TheAaronRodgersTao]

I’m sorry for being extremely ignorant, but can someone explain to my why ‘not’ going for the two flagpole glitches at the beginning are not viable normally?

[@Kosmicd12]

Double negative is a little confusing, but I think you're asking why you don't do 2 flagpole glitches every run? It's already a challenge to get a 21:19 without them, and including all of the "easiest" timesaves before any flagpole glitches will take you 10 seconds past that even. Doesn't make sense to reset a bunch for 0.35/0.7 seconds of timesave when there's 15 seconds of easier timesave out there that we're already struggling to get.
