Not often you get the creator of the game and the protagonist on the same couch

Hardest, fan favourite and most fun

[@zickykane5206]

[@RazzBeri1]

It’s because he’s forgetting that they get harder every time.

My favorite part of the run

[@djScratchyPants]

I feel like this run is a testament to how important the couch is

[@JT-hs6hc]

Not like Mitch is a zero or anything, though! This run didn't need to be "saved," but it's certainly enhanced by the commentary.

[@daniguess]

I appreciate how the level called 'Mount Moon' has an endless supply of blue bats that harass you.

[@maxwellmegagamer8535]

Very funny.

I would be afraid to donate 5 cents for every death, this guy donates $10.

[@lewperez]

He has around 4-5k subs on Twitch. He won't starve :D

[@88porpoise]

Would be hilarious if at one checkpoint Mitch set down the controller and just watched Mario die for a minute or so

[@thaDjMauz]

How many deaths were in this run? (Or how much did he donate in the end?)

[@WhydoIcrysomuch]

How many times did he die though?

[@kruksog]

You'd be bankrupt before I got through the first level.

[@fpcooper95]

I love coming back to this run, this is probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve watched it. The energy in the room and everything else was fantastic, and I hope the world can heal and we can do things like this again soon. 🤞🏾🙏🏾

[@Strawbz7209]

Glad I'm not the only one coming back to this. It's just such a good vibe, love to watch this run!

[@iiNFerNooXx]

Gonna watch this every few months again! Apparently i do watch every gdq run from mitch from time to time again.

[@judahpratt7651]

Come back here about once or twice a year, if I had to show someone what speedrunning and GDQ was about, it’d be this run!

[@Zapbraider]

The most impressive part is how casual this runner is at playing something this difficult.

[@rylaaaaaaa]

The crowd here was amazing, the part where they cheered him on during the Bowser fight melted my heart

[@unreal_taxi]

Most definitely, I love seeing audiences like the one in this video.

[@danelyn.1374]

I know, was so heartwarming... really love the SMW community, probably some of the nicest out of all games

[@FourthDerivative]

24:06 Poo: "Banger alert!" Game: *dead silence* That couldn't have been timed better if he tried

[@Wyzarka]

This is the best thumbnail you guys could have possibly chosen.

[@Vendavalez]

I love it. It is perfection.

[@unreal_taxi]

A future relic of current modern art.

[@missbelled6700]

the timer changing back to 400 at 12:10 is such a neat detail for the 'breath-holding' theme.

[@TheDerwill]

That final boss fight is *insane*

[@thexbigxgreen]

It's a real nailbiter eh? It was so painful seeing him die so many times even through he was playing nearly flawlessly

[@IsaHoodie]

*Heavy metal drumming intensified*

[@pleasuretokill]

I'm going to have to see a therapist after just watching that....

[@KetsubanSolo]

Geeeeeeeese!

[@SuperPowerPKMN]

That theme thooo

[@vankrelian]

One of the best runs I've seen on GDQ. Enjoyed every second of it, awesome play and commentary.

[@NinthSettler]

the fact that Barb was in the couch made it so much better

[@Norweeg]

Yeah, Barb is an awesome dude. I find myself coming back to this video every few months. Mainly because of his commentary and also the camaraderie and fun these guys are having.

[@serpenttao]

Wow, this is an amazing romhack with some superb levels and music choices, and Mitch just absolutely NAILS it. He flies through most of this and makes it look so easy while every individual jump is absolutely impossible for mere mortals. Big, big ups to everyone involved in this run, that was incredible.

[@KyesaRRi]

Was super surprised to hear a track from snowboard kids on the n64 in this romhack.

[@DesTr069]

Yeah, Barb actually went all over the place for his music choice. Obscure games as well as popular ones. Neat

[@lovepirate14]

This is easily one of the best GDQ runs I've ever seen. The couch is so engaging and fun, and the run itself is really fun to watch.

[@ShadowBoltTF2]

31:21 "The water is exactly what you think it is" "Mountain Dew!"

[@jq1790]

Well, at least part of it USED to be...

[@UghRochester]

I keep coming back to this and the blind kaizo race. Being able to witness this with the crowd makes me really miss going to the past two GDQs. Before the dark times, before the pandemic.

[@captainwafflezs4799]

So the Subnautica Devs donated 5,000$!?! 12:20

Holy shit, Mitch CRUSHED it! Absolutely loved the couch commentary!

[@Sam-hh3ry]

This is awesome, best community ever

[@sovereignundead]

This SMW/MM community is one of THE most supportive of each other's creativity in gaming. They're consistently pushing each other to try out new strats and design mechanics at every turn. 💜

[@AlterationA]

I love the way Poo speaks so respectfully of Mitch. "Cause he's MitchFlowerPower." It's just so wholesome that he looks up to him like that while also being his friend

[@kevinmshields]

The level design and runner's skills are seriously top notch. Really entertaining

[@ItsHyomoto]

I realize it's not the point, per sae, but it's great to see a Kaizo ROM hack that ends up being a full-fledged Mario experience, just for insanely good players. It's definitely more entertaining to watch, and I assume that much more fun to play.

[@linkeffect82]

This was pure, amazing insanity! This was incredible to watch and made my heart pause a few times with the more insane stunts you HAVE to pull off just to get through. An amazing run and with some very fun commentators and a good-natured runner to boot! Awesome video!

[@systemafunk]

I actually liked watching this. I normally don't, but I think this hack was really well done. It was consistent throughout the game, varied and not using the same trick over and over again, and not terribly random or making excessive use of invisible blocks.

[@ReiddMaxwell]

I just want to say, I freaking love this run. I've watched it so many times. A fangame getting spedrun, it being featured on GDQ, having such an awesome community, all the commitment from everyone involved (runners, game devs, the fans). I love it all.

[@coolpapabell22]

[@hyperwire0]

This was so amazing to watch! And HOLY CRAP that Journey To Silius music starting at 13:44! I was losing my mind hearing that old chestnut. Incredible run, thanks for doing this!

[@809_]

I come back to this video from time to time because the commentary is so damn good

[@M3L4M4R]

that little zing of "helper couch" at the very last second before the cut was maybe the funniest thing that could've possibly capped off this run

[@smkls93]

I've watched this at least three times and never caught that. Hilarious

[@shynkx]

every once in a while I come back to this run! Its so good and it hype me up for GPW3 in about 20 years!

[@lunasophia9002]

The soundtrack for this is a retro delight. These are seriously awesome remixes of utterly classic--and fitting!!--tracks. Love the references to old games. Took me a while to get the underwater reference because of people talking over it... but.... I heard some snatches of the melody and thought "wait, is that...?" and it is!

[@PossiblyNic]

Literally one of the best of these I've watched.

[@juanfrancisco2156]

So, Geese Howard boss theme fight as bowser fight theme, that is amazing and really gives a lot of hype!!!

I like how the composer took ATLAS' N64 game, Snowboard Kids, and found a way to get the music into previous gen hardware and keep its integrity intact. I know I heard the tracks "Big Snowman" and "Nighty Highway" in there.
