Let's Speedrun Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (All Events/Very Hard)

[@benjihuynh2970]

22:36 check out metal Sonic doing butterfly. A few interesting things about this: First, it is legal to do other strokes during an individual freestyle event. Second, butterfly is theoretically faster than freestyle at a robotic level. The problem with humans is stamina, strength, buoyancy, and the necessity of oxygen

[@MelloMathTeacher]

Just to set the record straight, EazySpeezy: Each time you're saying "splitscreen" during Marathon, the term you're looking for is *slipstream.* When you're moving right behind someone (or something) else, they have to push themselves through air that's rushing around them, and that pushed air will go right by you, so you don't have to expend as much energy. You know that mechanic in Mario Kart where if you hang out behind someone long enough you get a boost of speed? That's exactly the same thing. It's more commonly known as "drafting." You see it all the time in running races as well as automobile races, though with less exaggerated results than in video games.
