I really wish they would add this to the Nintendo Switch Online collection of SNES games.

[@philatio1744]

they haven't????

[@memerman9268]

I know, same with the mother/earthbound games

[@memerman9268]

Who knows, maybe they could translate mother 3 like they did with the original fire emblem game Ok, that info may be wrong. Feel free to correct me

[@marcglemaire]

It’s there now....

[@mr.moonthegoon4178]

Sadly it never will, square owns too much of it

[@kevinanderson9543]

The lady on the couch maybe the most informative commentator in the history of agdq. She needs to be on other couches for sure.

[@HeyDan1983]

Does anybody have her name? Id like to see her runs.

[@gracef.1271]

@@HeyDan1983 Her name is PidgeZero!

[@Jawohl721]

She does her own run of this on a GDQ she’s great

Came back to this vid to reference a menu for the wiki, and just seeing this now, you're sweet, thank you! :)

[@dbgr9875]

When you've practiced speedrunning a game for years, getting near frame perfect tricks off multiple times, but all the donations just say how lucky you are

[@kettleclog5105]

I mean there is a huge luck aspect involved, regardless of how good the player is

[@supasik1]

He is lucky tho he said so himself

[@foremanmvyers]

if i ever meet justin credible, i'm gonna buy him a drink and say "here's another freebie"

[@kitsinthewebs222]

That would be epic!

[@joshuaking7470]

And if I ever meet both Justin Credible's (the speedrunner here and the ECW wrestler) I'll buy the whole bar a round

[@zenothys9119]

"Mario lies to the small child about his identity to save a couple of frames" LOL

[@kirbymaster5]

1:49:27 Amazing to see all 3 Smash Bros fighters on-screen at once. Geno is cool too I guess.

[@noporbebe]

Savage.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

Nah he's cosplaying as the Mii Geno costume from Super Smash Bros Brawl.

[@MrJechgo]

In Ultimate, there's a Spirit battle to get Geno's spirit. Sheik replaces Geno and Kirby replaces Mallow. It's... actually a nice touch that Nintendo got something more from Square Enix in addition of the poor Final fantasy representation ^^;

[@jorgearriaga2995]

I grew up with this game. I just remember how many people I’ve come across, people from all wakes of life, that not only played but loved this game. Thank you so much for bringing this joy back into our lives.

[@hensroth]

This is such a fun run to watch over and over again. SMRPG is such a cozy and enjoyable game to run and watch, Justin is a great runner, and PidgeZero_One is pretty much the greatest SMRPG couch/theory member you could hope for. This is such a cozy run that I tend to rewatch this instead of doing a run myself

[@thomasw9587]

This is my go to for background listening. Been here many times

[@ProtoMan0451]

15:20 she said "thats what i was mentioning earlier about timed hits" like she was literally a character in the game giving me a tutorial and it was neat

[@Sawboo]

really solid and informative commentary. middle couch is killing it.

[@Jarrid313]

Justin-credibld is the goat of speed runs he loves the game and u can tell he still has fun with it

[@ehleroo]

One of the most entertaining runs I've ever seen. Great run by Justin and superb commentary by the couch crew.

[@cocomunga]

I love Super Mario RPG! I also love learning new things about it every time there’s a speed run at AGDQ. Who else here used Geno’s special attacks for years the wrong way ( not releasing Y )? I did for a long time and I still thought he was good. It would have helped so much as a kid when I died over and over to Bowyer.

[@Karemaker]

Wow, I never noticed until couch told me how Dodo's helmet covers his eyes when he pecks, so he doesn't get a good look at the statue / mario.

[@avery6758]

I know I'm three years late but already 9 minutes in and this is some of the best and most informative commentary I have heard from these events.

[@SegmentW]

Incredible to see my favorite game of all time completed sub 3 hours. Didn't even know about the Mack fight skip or any of the other glitches. Great video GDQ community :)

[@TheVirginMeri]

That early game RNG was legendary

[@Justincredible83]

Yeah, its a special event when you freebie the Energizer, get the Croco2 Flower Box, AND the Red Essence freebie in one run!

[@fuji-3326]

Termi Got some RNG Action goin!

[@waybe869]

Was it Just-incredible?

[@thekingofk9575]

Three tax

[@testingattthing]

"Most of the stuff" is an amazing category name.

[@adhirg]

the runs that Pidge and Justin have done are so great to watch for learning the Any% and 100% runs!

[@SegmentW]

WOW! I can't believe some of the strats I'm seeing! This video really breathed new life into what I otherwise thought was a game I knew pretty much everything about.

[@ilikebeingsmart]

I was watching this live when the power went out for a bit, and everything went dark except the main TV and the one next to it. It may not have seemed epic on stream/in the video here, but it was amazing that no one freaked out live. Surprised it was only 15 seconds too, it felt a lot longer. Well done to the runner and couch!

[@ItsSudonim]

Super Mario-oh RPG~ It is the only one just for me~

[@BuddyHollyMallCop]

The only one I need! Mario RPG is all that I play All other games are lame It puts them all to shame

[@FirearmofMutiny]

Exiting the forest is super simple All you have to do is follow these patterns... For the rest of your gaming life

[@shuckyducky5212]

can't wait till he runs the remake!

[@12poulet21]

The commentary was great. every couch commentator should strive to be as good as this one !

[@MeowMeow-my4fl]

"I hate it when I leave my bazooka at home." "Same." "It happens." Only 11 minutes into the run and I already love the couch trio

[@The_Zelda_Zone]

Incredible run! Great commentary too, Pidge and Justin were a great combo

[@kylejohnson9158]

Still to this day my favorite game of all time.

[@johnfakename1823]

I loved silent guy on the right. He sacrificed commentary for good luck mojo

[@oscarm6990]

Really informative. Especially like the lady doing most of the commentary, she definitely knows her stuff

[@0woled]

Pidgezero really knows this game inside out. Really awesome commentary !

[@pidgezero_one]

Thank you! But I think my knowledge of the game is prob 1% of Claude's lol

[@Whateverwhoification]

I agree. It sounds like she practiced a lot of it, which I really appreciate. A lot of commentators stumble over themselves (not that I could do better) or start to explain something, lose track, and just abandon the explanation. Very clear and easy to follow.

[@MrJechgo]

I think she has top speedrun times in just about every category this game has to offer. No joke, there's a gimmick that every time she's invited to a local speedrunning marathon in Quebec, Canada, she does a new category, and she nails it in every event ;)

[@pidgezero_one]

@@Whateverwhoification we actually just did one practice run of commentary the day before, which didnt go anything like the actual run did! most of it was just us improvising :)

[@borate58]

Pidge, amazing job as usual.... Justin, this run is just fun, always loved this game!

Great to see Pidge back on a SMRPG couch. Hope she gets back to running most of the stuff again soon

[@dettbizzle]

This is hands down one of the best couches ever.

[@drdav1]

Wow just 5% off his own WR and marathon runs with safety saves what would be a top ~15 RTA all time. Just incredible. A demigod at this game

[@drdav1]

Just looked up Japanese version saves 9 minutes in text mashing. So this was on world record pace if it were played in Japanese

[@bmac4]

@@drdav1 Not quite. Time is at the end of credits for RTA runs. They didnt show the credits because those are slow and not needed for a marathon showing given they take like 10 minutes.

[@xthechar]

@@drdav1 there are 11 minutes of cutscenes that the GDQ run skips though, so it wasn't WR pace or anything. Still a great run, the only serious blunder was the sea star.

[@elizabethhicks4181]

@@xthechar Wait, this game doesn't stop time once you get the final blow on Smithy's second phase? They time through the cutscenes after too?

i'm super late but ending timing on credits is adopted from the japanese timing for the game, and the western community just never got rid of it @@elizabethhicks4181

I'm surprised nobody has returned to this video in light of the news. Can't wait to see how the remake changes the running scene.

[@EchoJerichoX]

Some of the best commentary I have ever heard at a GDQ run. Nice!

[@ThatLuckyBear]

This is still my absolute favorite version of this speedrun to watch. Top tier commentary from the couch, insane freebie hype, and a brilliant showcase of skill by Justincredible.

[@pidgezero_one]

Justin is also a talented crafter! He just finished his second cross stitch of the SMRPG world map.

[@user-kh1ro6wv3t]

Pidge is such a star, and Claude always provided great FFT content. Excited to check this one out!

[@stagelights_]

when i was a kid i was convinced that there was an action command for items and that hitting it would get you a freebie, and i just thought my inability to get freebies was a lack of skill, and it wasn't until just now that i realize i was wrong in thinking this.

[@heyitscelery9772]

sto1crose SAME. I spent about 2 hours trying to make the same jump across the two platforms... I thought I just sucked at platforming

[@nasur86]

Didn't do it on this game but I have ran around in the sewers in final fantasy 8 for 3 hours cause I didn't see the door that went to the next area

[@garioairio6799]

I did the same thing as nasur but in this game I ran around the pirate ship looking for a way to the baement to fight the boss then saw the door and felt dumb

[@Bombedrumbum]

WAIT YOU MEAN IT WASN'T THE JUMP LENGTH'S FAULT? I've spent most of my life knowing I never beat the game past there because of that one platform jump that requires running to clear

I was stuck at the ship for a longggggg time.

1:30 “relationship in the 90’s”...?? Doesn’t Mario rescue Peach on the new one(Mario Odyssey), too? It’s kind of a tradition that hasn’t stopped.🤷🏼‍♂️

To get the frog coin that she says you can only get early is possible later on by forcing a toad up near the door, however it will take time to make the toad get up near the door. Then you need to jump on him and up quickly before the toad moves away from door.

44:20 Why did Mario jump on the trampoline in a mine shaft? Simple: he thought he could bust through the ceiling like usual. He'd been breaking bricks with just his own power for eleven years at that time. And a tempting trampoline makes it seem like something is hidden above! Obviously, it was a cleverly designed trap. :D
