Can 2 Speedrunners beat Super Mario Bros. before a Pro?

[@quirkyqwerty2840]

As sponsorships go, this was pretty good. Gave how long it takes for a hot pocket to cook, referred to it throughout the video, and was entertaining. Not bad.

[@GummieI]

Yeah pretty clever use of sponsorship

[@kadenbonnot8853]

Too bad hot pockets are inedible

[@i_fish6657]

I genuinely want a hot pocket now

[@MercuryA2000]

NGL, probably one of the best sponsor implementations I've seen. In a while at least.

[@ObiwanNekody]

And points out that they are easy to consume at a game system

[@Neefew]

I like that when Kirbs beat the game, Crow was in 1-1

[@loganrieck4750]

I would say that's a spoiler but I think everyone could see that coming

[@ZawaOnYoutube]

He's gotta be doing this shit on purpose... Like 30 Mario videos in and he still doesn't always hold run... it's gotta be on purpose, like a "haha Crow bad at Mario" meme or something.

[@TheShredFaster]

how did he even get on NRG? he's so insanely bad

[@ZawaOnYoutube]

He's much better at Zelda games, like undeniably so. There are definitely games that Crow does well in. But he's so bad at Mario that I think it's actually on purpose at this point.

[@Dargon8959]

@@TheShredFaster Mario just isn't his field of expertise. He is great in other games.

[@petergraham6758]

I thought for sure Kosmic would have taken some bites out of the hot pocket and sips of Coca Cola during the run.

[@thegsp]

Nah, then other youtubers would for sure use his run to splice it into fake ones, even TAS

[@JohnSmithJane]

mountain dew*

[@Overspark1999]

I see the reference XD

[@anshshah2363]

yes

[@Delta21OnYT]

Damn bro it's been 4 years and you still crapping on Badabun lmao

[@Celestia282]

The funny thing is that if Kosmic hadn't skipped the first warp, he'd have won. Woe is the hubris of man.

[@happytoaster1]

Nice to see a two minute hot pocket heating run tossed in there for fun.

[@ZawaOnYoutube]

You know that shit was still cold in the middle lmao

[@echodff]

The hottest pocket was the friends we made along the way

[@TJDious]

Go to your room.

[@adamnielson42]

At 7:11 it seems like Kosmic is about to start explaining how only a certain number of sprites can have hitboxes at once, so sometimes hammers can't hurt you, but he gets cut off. :(

[@TheGamingBacklog0]

Lil kirbs will live in denial forever thinking that he broke Mario bros

[@Mysterious7352]

This is literally the best sponsorship I have ever seen on KZbin Incredible work as usual guys keep it up

[@laytonjr6601]

In a previous video, someone proposed to make the time advantage something the KZbinr is good at to make things more skill based Exemple: Cosmic playing SMB for a 5 min advantage, Lilikirbs playing a couple SMM2 levels, etc

[@tweytwan3890]

Would Crow just stay and cut bananas with his katana ?

[@piemaster831]

@@tweytwan3890 Google translated scrambled eggs

[@covereye5731]

So what would Lilikirbs be doing in SMM2? He can either pick his time advantage level, which means he can basically pick out his time, or pick a random one which makes the time RNG again. I like them doing odd tasks first, we already see them speedrun these games so much on their own channels.

[@mr.platypus280]

never had a hot pocket before but i might just have to try them 👀

[@darkwolf8841]

They are fine but you have to try it for sure.

[@tedpowles7819]

I recommend the BBQ Beef

[@dougdustin2228]

Try ham and cheese it's so good

[@ized88]

I don't think they are a thing in Germany 😅

[@some_guy_8923]

Pepperoni is basic but great

[@Luweg01]

Really nice done Sponsor It was really funny and entertaining Can imagine similiar Sponsor ideas

[@gilolaes4725]

Funny enough, this is the 2nd 2D Mario centric speedrun race where cooking a Hot Pocket was used as a measurement of time.

[@wiiztec]

Obviously a deliberate reference to the mitch colbert fiasco

[@Iceyia]

If i had a nickel for every time a 2D mario centric speedrun race had used a Hot Pocket as a measurement of time, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its wierd that it happened twice.

[@MayBeSomething]

LilKirbs has the skill, Kosmic has the hot pocket. PointCrow has the respect of the fans.

[@Mr_Top_Hat_Jones]

With Kosmic giving a head start, there was no shot anybody but LilKirbs was going to win. I can’t believe he didn’t win much sooner.

[@aedd3307]

kosmic would've probably won if he took the warps

[@Mr_Top_Hat_Jones]

@@awdksdlsjd This is true, but I would be shocked… absolutely shocked… if LilKirbs wasn’t familiar with SMB1.

[@FFKonoko]

If kosmic had given the headstart, but taken both warps...he'd have won still

[@cjya]

Wait I’m confused? I thought the pro was gonna be PointCrow? Who is this “Cosmic” guy?

[@RGC_animation]

Lol

"We've got a cheater in the room" - LilKirbs, 2022

[@bretterry8356]

Being sponsored to play Mario with friends and eat Hot Pockets? Kosmic is living the life my 8-year-old self dreamed of.

[@novum2915]

Lil Kirsmic is still my favorite compilation of names and I am glad Lil Kirbs is keeping it going lol

[@blubbblubber4342]

And to celebrate this achievement, Lilkirkbs put a hot pocket on his wall.

[@Seanderson3]

Kosmic's hot pocket cam is shockingly funny

[@SceneComparisons]

guys, we can handle longer videos

[@mattcav1649]

I love the commitment of kosmic (and other old game speed runners) of refusing to get good cameras. Like it looks okay but it could be better at this point

[@NintendoPals]

This was my favorite NRG speedrunning video yet! Love the banter. Keep up the great work y'all :)

[@covereye5731]

Even if you don't have sponsors, the best-player-goes-make-food-first concept is really fun! Would enjoy more of these

[@reesecarlton]

What they fail to realize, in spite of SPOILERS!!!! Kirbs winning was that Kosmic had a Hot Pocket, and they didn't. That's the real win

[@WarlordofWarren]

I mean they acknowledged that.

[@achehex]

Can't believe the comment section is better at shilling than the actual youtubers.

[@PikaLuigi]

I love that since the sponsor of the video was so well integrated, that the comments section is filled with Hot Pocket comments, thus giving free extra sponsorship to Hot Pockets.

[@xdcountry]

You guys are just the best- awesome vid!!!

[@watermelonsavage2914]

NRG! NRG! NRG!

[@tugazu]

I love how Kosmic starts by making a hotpocket, limits humself to only use warp once and doesn't even get powerups to futher hinder himself

[@GTAce99]

Mario speedrunning and Hot Pockets? Stephen Colbert would be pleased.

[@Vaelzan]

I'm a bit surprised that I had to scroll down so far to see a reference to that. If they get sponsored by Hot Pockets again it'd be great to have them all try the SMB3 wrong warp in honour of that segment. Maybe even have MFP on as a guest to teach them?

[@Kyrrone]

Kosmic microwave reveal!

[@ToyKeeper]

I love how hard you tried to _not_ let the sponsor win.

[@path6733]

Best sponsor ever by far the most entertaining ad I've seen in a while

[@patrickmetz6710]

Kosmic is still the god of Mario Speedrunning

[@patrickmetz6710]

Keep up the great videos NRG

[@user-Pulse1147]

I wish we got some longer videos from the crew. I feel like I wait so long between videos and then it's just ten ish minutes of content ;-;

[@user-Pulse1147]

It's always a great ten minutes though :)

[@jeeper3]

Kosmic cooked a hot pocket and played 15 levels vs their 8 levels, and barely lost! It's cool to see and have a comparison where good gamers compete against someone at the top of a certain game, to really put into perspective how good the top guys in each genre are.

[@NovaSteel01]

The power of the hot pocket made kosmik get second place

[@tbabubba32682]

Kosmic had to not only make a hot pocket, but also skip the first warp, so...

[@ejhr6777]

Kirbs was like "I have a mushroom and i'm not afraid of putting it in my wall"

[@impossiblepath1972]

It's so crazy that you guys were actually sponsored by such a big non-video game related company. Congratulations.

[@arthurcurry4941]

Gg guys! I wish I knew that world start over trick when I was at the barcade. I would make it to world 8 and have to start over.

[@supersonicfan6404]

Genius sponsor incorporation for a great video!

[@benedict3974]

Lmao got pockets are great

[@morchela]

That Kosmic surely needs some more practice to beat LilKirbs

[@T101G]

Should have been sponsored by pizza and coke

[@SieMiezekatze]

Kosmic was the real winner cause he got to make a hot pocket

[@Ridlay_]

Oh wow Hot Pocket sponsor, that’s pretty big. And LilKirb’s final jump over Bowser was tight gosh darn.

[@JKDontJudgeMe]

getting a hot pocket with some cola to beat super mario bros legitimately us a true pro gamer move.

[@teeks8713]

Instead of skipping the first warp, Kosmic should have just eaten the hot pocket before starting the run.

[@vip_win]

Love they are playing a nice old game like mario bros

[@WASDxMerceless]

Now time to speedrun hot pocket any%

[@Muffinmit]

sad it was a hot pocket and not a pizza and coke

[@CarbonSpire]

Love these guys.. Wish they would make a second season...

[@Koolee2]

Okay but like hot pockets are actually made of happiness and good times, and like it doesn’t matter what meal you eat them for it’s always perfect. Just make sure you let them cool off first or you will experience the fiery vengeance of all the fallen hot pockets.

[@daveherz998]

The Hot Pocket lead is a fantastic unit of measurement

[@blinkarma3526]

Call badabun guy next time hahaha

[@xDakem]

Kosmic can easily beat SMB in under 6 minutes without any reset (even dying!), just chilling. + 2 Minutes for the hot pocket + 2 minutes going to the kitchen and coming back, he could EASILY beat a 13 minutes any day of the week.

[@ayoitscat]

I have a sudden uncontrollable urge to go buy a box of hot pockets

[@conaldeugenepeterson2147]

I love how crow keeps talking trash as he’s repeatedly game overing.

[@almendratlilkouatl]

Woow, this is a super pogger moment, Point Crow was holding B!

[@sausage__7112]

To be honest, if kosmic did do both warp zones, he definitely would've been the winner

[@redpikachu2827]

This was the greatest advertisement ever

[@nicholasdargus401]

Press a+start on the main screen to continue from the world where you lost your life.

[@luckywee4648]

I really wanna try hot pockets but im in france and im pretty sure we dont have those...

[@moxborol]

This is kinda like Mitchflower on Colbert... right? Love it

[@Jermester]

If Kosmic was actually good at the game, he would've made some pizza and got a Coke instead of making a hot pocket. He would've beaten the game before them in five minutes.

[@ByzantineMinotaur]

Well, I guess I’m having hot pockets for dinner tomorrow.

[@theshire9173]

Hot Pocket. I loved those in high school. It's been ages since I had one

[@nubfairy]

I love the hot pocket sponsorship ha

[@PatLund]

Best sponsorship spot ever.

[@stevenmathews9355]

I wish Kosmic hadn't skipped the first warp. I have seen his WR video enough times to know he still would've beaten LilKirbs if he had played the regular two warp way.

[@Henry-ov7rh]

I actually want a hot pocket now.

[@yukiko3871]

At least Eric found the run button :)

[@CadeCraze]

I am being tortured because I can neither eat a hit pocket nor play super Mario bros

[@volts420]

This is making me want a hot pocket We just need an 8 thousand kick from Kosmic lol

[@tugazu]

Oh hey they both founded the run button

[@DarioKalen_Kagenui]

Great video and great sponsorship. 💯

[@Patralgan]

Nice to see Kosmic flexing on Lilkirbs for a change

[@FUGP72]

I wish Kosmic had told them about starting on the same world after Game Overing trick before they started, and then did a regular both warp run. It would have been closer. But it was nice to see a challenge that I could have beaten Kosmic in. It looks like he started somewhere around the 4:30 mark. And wayyyyy back when speedrunning wasn't even a thing, I could beat it in about 7:30, and around 8 minutes consistently. I'm sure I could still do it in under 9 playing it safe enough (getting powerups) to ensure not dying.

[@karimabdelhak4100]

Actually good sponsorship plug!

[@ketchuppo]

loved the hot pocket cam 😂😂
