It's because there are parts of the speedun where there's a maximum amount of time you can take, but taking less time than the maximum doesn't save time in the run overall, it would just involve more waiting

[@RipleySawzen]

To be fair, in speedrunning, this phrase could actually not be true, so it's worth saying. Speedrunning is wild.

The moment I heard "controlling two people" I went from awed to jumping out of my seat. I love how insanely speedrunners can multi-task, seeing Mario's absolute schmovement while Bowser Jr. flies off doing whatever is amazing.

[@elysahatestostudy9364]

Just the fact that you have to coordinate both your own movements as well as Bowser Jr. through *motion controls* just gotta make this one of the most insane games to speedrun oh lord

[@ThatGuyTy_]

"How does he control two characters at once?" Asked Smallant, the man who played Cappy with his feet for a speedrun. This was an awesome run to watch though, it's always so crazy how innovative people are with Mario games.

[@TheAdvertisement]

I love Smallant's commentary on these speedruns because I do not have the patience to speedrun but love the techniques they employ in runs.

[@Topbeehler]

Speed runners scare me. I can't believe some humans have this level of skill. Extremely impressive. I've done like one speed run for fun in my life, practiced, trained, spent like a month to beat it as fast as possible even learning glitches and watching world records. I still was like an hour behind the pros. This is amazing and that is so freaking cool to see this! Thanks for sharing SmallAnt

[@ObstagoonGuy]

I was checking if I had the video on 2x speed. You can feel the passion and I love it! THIS is how you are both energetic and not annoying! So many creators tend to scream into the microphone which is mostly just annoying.

[@BadgerByNature]

This is great, SmallAnt! I love when someone can explain so clearly what's going on - it can be very hard mid-run for the player especially during events like GDQ, it's so cool to see it broken down essentially real-time.

[@gibble7863]

So nice that you showcase this mans run like that. Aside from it just being a really cool speedrun thats clearly very difficult to perform with the controlling 2 characters, 1 with motion controls, its nice to see big creators like ant pulling up the smaller guys. Huge respect for that! Congrats on the awesome run!

[@ZealoustranceTube]

I love this so much. You running is often fun on its own, but I love when speed runners cover other speed runners work and explain it. It's like an in the trenches play-by-play version of SpeedDocs or SummoningSalt. Perhaps a speedy Jobst. 😂

[@KolMan2000]

The thing about Bowsers Fury speedruns is that it’s pretty much entirely determined by the boss fights. Since the times you fight bowser are all on timers, you can’t beat the game faster than the time it takes to spawn bowser and beat him. All the stuff you do in between just has to be within that time frame but going any faster doesn’t really matter. It’s like with frame rules in SMB, but they’re just way larger frame rules
