Hi

[@BlazingDiancie]

I NEVER thought Id hear Mystery Mayhem music in a video, I love that game

[@alexisroux2448]

another leegee video

[@jochenschmidt9684]

I'd love to see the PAL-version covered and the craziness that is its hidden mansion. I grew up with that version and could honestly not believe at first how imo lackluster the hidden mansion in the other versions seemed in comparison from the perspective of a casual run. The new spawns, flipped layout and tweaks to the bossfights really mix things up a lot.

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

I believe they wanted that kind of Hidden Mansion for all versions, but since it was a Gamecube launch title, they simply didn't have time to implement it in the JP and US versions. JP was the first released, and because of that it has even more bugs than US, such as weird audio glitches. (Some songs can occasionally not play.)

[@BirnieMac1]

I only just learned they didn’t get the good hidden mansion Oh man that’s so unfair; the flipped layout messed with the sense of direction a lot and found myself getting lost more in hidden than original as a kid; made the extra encounters and boss twists feel like a newer encounter

[@MarioSMG64]

Your Luigi’s Mansion videos are some of my favorite speed running videos! Excited for this one.

Same here, actually.

[@kaiirunz57]

Fun Fact : Sitting Room Clip is actually not viable in PAL 100% because no mice actually spawn on the second floor where you do it for NTSC! PAL 100% is still completely inbounds and dupeless.

[@javen9693]

In the Mario universe, 100g is equivalent to an extra life. At the end of this run, Luigi will outlive all of his friends, family, and enemies by endless millenia. Days will pass for him like seconds. Kingdoms will rise and crumble. Oceans will dry. And eventually, there will be nothing at all... Only Luigi.

[@kaiirunz57]

A small group of top LM runners did look into skipping the plant Gold Diamond RTA just a few months back...and to put it bluntly, we decided to assume you dupe EVERY large pearl. 38 large pearls. And EVEN with this consideration, before even the end of A2, we lose all the time we save from this potential route due to what else you have to go out of the way for. That being said, if we get more consistent with mouse skews, there is definitely some stuff we could get away with on a smaller scale that could save time. It IS possible to skew and skip through the A3 shortcut door right after water rather than even doing the chauncey chest out of bounds route. There is also A LOT of back tracking in this game, especially in A4. Maybe in the future mouse clips could be used to eliminate this backtracking (and it already has been!) In All Boos and All Portraits, which uses the Out of Bounds route from the TAS in RTA (because money isn't needed), we used to use the chest to clip out. Snap being the legend he is decided to perform the any% skew and clip in BOTH records, so he could skip backtracking to the A1 rooms, neville, lydia, and chauncey. Rather, he visits them only once. And in All Portraits, he then does Sitting Room Clip on TOP of that any% skew, possibly the only run done so far using both of these mice tricks. To put it simply, the future of this game for any category that doesn't specify No OoB is abusing 3 to 4 mouse skews a run. It will happen eventually. Snap isn't the only one grinding these mouse skews in runs now. Me, Jovin, HD, even Mak have begun to grind these mouse clips out. Let's see how this and other categories progress!

[@phineas81707]

It's a testament to how much money 20M is that the plant Gold Diamond- which looks obviously and blatantly like "this is something a speedrunner should've figured out how to skip by now"- carries the route so hard. I'd sooner see a glitch that allows you to trick the plant into thinking it's ready to produce the Gold Diamond in fewer visits.

[@kaiirunz57]

@@phineas81707 The plant doesn't even EXIST when the mansion is in an Area 1 state, and doing the Out of Bounds route the TAS does actually skips bogmire temporarily to abuse a wrong warp, so you end up doing Boolossus first. So the game goes from A2 --> A4 in one boss fight, and that makes the plant literally dead because it thinks you skipped the plant in A3. Manipping this plant would be crazy.

[@phineas81707]

@@kaiirunz57 The most realistic guess I have is that the plant is sufficiently loaded while you are in whatever room is to its immediate right to water it (I *believe* it's the Billiard's Room, but it's been some time since I've considered the LM floor plan.) The least realistic is that you could somehow water one of the plants out-of-sequence by finding where the actor for the plant is stored when it's not in use (a lot of games like to hide such actors several hundred/thousand units out of frame, not that I think LM is otherwise one of them).

[@italixprod]

Wow. I've always loved these speedrun videos you make; always very well made, always very well researched, just all around great. I've made a documentary before, I know how much it takes to make them, and even if this isn't considered a real "documentary", it's in the same category for me. Great job on this.

[@wesdogg_]

I'm so happy you promoted the LTA. i watched this video as quick homework for the event itself!

They're called "Neverdoors" because they always clip through the wall instead of using the door

[@spikitou2231]

Great video as always! I would really like to see a video about the PAL version of the game :) (or more Luigi's Mansion content in general. Love that game)

[@WackoMcGoose]

...Oh thank goodness, I assumed 100% meant "collect EVERYTHING there is, and if you boop up a single Portrait Ghost and miss their Large Pearl, instant reset". I guess that would be a Max% run?

[@Bobb11881]

RetroArchive has done what you just described several times.

[@Blazingflare2000]

That run is called something like max% or max money. And those runs are honestly more interesting to me than the imo poorly named 100% runs. Since you have to get every single money spawn, and can't let any of the coins you drop when taking damage despawn or the run is invalidated.

[@aliceyuri]

​@@Blazingflare2000 100% has basically always meant doing what satisfies the games idea of 100% completion vs collecting literally everything possible, donkey kong 64 comes to mind

Man, I haven't heard Mario's "Mamamia!" get censored into a swear for actual decades.

[@TrefleeFL]

I am European, so naturally, I only got to know the PAL Luigi's Mansion version. Back then, I wasn't aware you couldn't get A rank in the normal mansion, so I spent countless hours trying to optimize something impossible. xD I don't know if it's the same for NTSC, but PAL's hidden mansion is brutal ! Rooms have more ghosts, they hit harder, there are less hearts, and the Blackout section is a nightmare. I never played it much because of that.

[@AkiDave]

RNG keeps me awake at night whenever I plan to stream Resident Evil LMAO

This is the first time im seeing anything oh here and i like it ❤

[@KoffeeB]

Especially the third one where you can easily softlock a 100% if you don't do everything with Toad when on the floor

[@DomyTheMad420]

it's funny how i grew up with PAL Luigi's Mansion and simply cannot comprehend what everyone's so worked up about if a child can do it..

[@astrid9920]

2:44 i was hoping this clip was here

[@LunaticJ]

GOLD DIAMOND!!

[@alexanderharrison7421]

Ive always thought 100% should mean collecting all Gemstones, Speedy Spirits, and Gold Mice, along with the other requirements Its still not asking to be Max%, but it feels like a significant amount of the secrets are just completely skipped over because you "already have enough money for the A Rank Mansion"

[@isneezelightning]

Would LOVE to see something going over the PAL ver!

[@TheMine2001]

Babe wake up, new Lunatic vid just dropped

[@Uhhhh_uhhh]

I just recently did the 100% pal hidden mansion it's quite the trip

[@dio5735]

fun fact: there’s a glitch where you can get the foyer lit without talking to toad, exclusively to area 2 if you go past area 2 then it won’t work. when you get 5 boos, you go to the bathroom, get the key and talk to that toad to make the bathroom lit. when you teleport via game boy horror at the mirror, for some odd reason the foyer gets lit. its a glitch that no one really seems to know about and its pretty convenient, but if you talk to toad while the room is lit, he will still have his crying dialogue which is pretty weird to see him cry in a lit room

[@katieosadczuk4170]

PAL gamecube games aren't locked at 50Hz, that was only up until the N64. EU got 60Hz games with the GC release

[@woobgamer5210]

yeah, it was only still an option in gamecube's menu and the wii's due to not everyone have a 60 hz tv at the time (we were still a bit away from going to full digital TVs away from analogue TVs)

[@NineQuestionMarks]

Honestly I'm interested in hearing how 100% PAL speedruns are. They sound interesting, to say the least.

[@gaier19]

max% ... the rng hell ... even harder in pal! is pearl dup baned in max? or do I can not read the rules right?

[@Blazingflare2000]

Irrelevant to the video, but I honestly feel like 100% really isn't a good name for the speedrun category, since there's very little in the game you actually have to 100% for the run. It really should just be called "A Rank - All Unique Ghosts" since that's all that you actually have to get. I would personally really only call a run 100% if they get A Rank, all gold portraits, all boos, all keys, all possible rooms cleared, and *maybe* all gems.

[@xliltracex2]

[@nnoo]

its called aha because they are laughing at everyone

[@gyroninjamodder]

Why does this video talk about avoiding collectings gems or money. For a 100% speedrun you have to collect everything. This video seems to be more about an A rank speedrun.

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

So the speedrun community is a bit different with how it words things. We call an A Rank speedrun "100%", as by definition, the game doesn't give you anything else special upon collecting every bit of money there possibly is. 100% being that there's nothing else to do in the game that will reward you in some way. (i.e. Super Mario Sunshine's "Have a Relaxing Vacation!" upon collecting 120 Shines.) Collecting 100 million grants you an A Rank, which is the most reward you're gonna get for getting everything. Now collecting every bit of money in the game is a speedrun category as well, but we call that "Max%".

[@YEs69th420]

Every community defines their own terms. 100% of the money is slow, tedious, and extremely inconsistent and difficult. 100% in terms of achieving all the goals is a better way to look at it.

@@Barakalover3 Did i say it was? I highlighted the complaint. They can consider it or accept the potential loss of a portion of their demographic. That's up to them if they care about their fellow neurodivergents, something like 50% of people with autism suffer from it. It also and more importantly serves as a warning to others with the same issue. Regardless of what they do it's worth saying. So what was the point of you saying this again?

[@Barakalover3]

I already know about it, my best friend is autistic and has issues with repetitive sounds (or just loud in general). Even so, if people take issue with it, they can just as easily click away and do something else. (These are her words, not mine, but I agree with her.) What did you expect though, given the content of this particular video? These are things you’ll hear on 90% of speedrun streamers, you’re going to hear clicks from the controller, it’s inevitable.

[@Alkaris]

In-bounds skew to early rooms not viable in 100%? Never say never, because that will be proven wrong one day. Whenever someone says _"Oh but this will never be viable for X run"_ you don't know that, and quite often always always proven to be wrong later down the road and does become viable for X run.
