Thank you everyone for all of the kind messages and all of the support along the way

[@dennisholloway7500]

You deserve it

[@NOTNOTJON]

You earned it. Word of this is gonna spread quick. This is now the new Behemoth run. The Oats run

[@Go-go_Godzilla]

Congrats to the GOAT!

[@lilbitretro6377]

I've been lurking your streams and videos for the last I dunno, 7 or so years? This is legit the happiest I've ever seen you, and I don't mean that to be negative in any way, shape, or form. Not only are you insanely godlike at this game, you have the ability to stay engaged with your community nearly the entire time. It's unreal to watch. It's been a blast watching you, and I look forward to see the next chapter in your life!

[@donnieandmichelle1295]

Congrats oats! That was sick

[@Nova_Afterglow]

Let's remember that not only is this a world record, it is ALSO the world's first sub 40:40. Oas worked VERY hard for this and im so insanely proud he got this run

Been a lurker for years. I'm so happy for you that you finally made it happen through sheer determination. Big congrats on the WR. You deserve it more than anyone else.

[@breakz08]

Wow, man. My brother and I have watched you for years (he watches live, I can only catch the YTs). He messaged me the moment you landed this record, and I immediately needed to stream this VOD. Thrilled for you, Oats. Very very well deserved.

[@mr.mosart2730]

Oats is now officially the best Super Metroid Player of all time. Super Metroid Impossible, Kaizo Super Metroid and now this WR. Maybe he can even back it up in 100%. That's some legendary stuff...

[@seanmurry6903]

Oats has BEEN the regent Metroid player for years and years. Every 2d Metroid record was broken at least once if not still held by him. 🎉 Edit: I don't believe he attempted OG Metroid, OR Metroid II but I could be mistaken, he's been running this for a long long time.

[@joshuag2093]

I've never seen Goats so happy. The pure emotions seen here are so raw. You can tell how genuinely happy he is. I'm kinda a poor guy, so I normally don't ever donate. But after seeing such a massive achievement from him, I'm gonna send him a donation for the first time to show my support. What a fucking legend.

[@Casual_PKBeats]

God it's so crazy, I still remember your first sub-41 record, and here you've not only beaten the WR, but SHATTERED it, with the first sub 40:40. Fucking incredible dude, you've earned every bit of pride you can feel, I've loved seeing this journey. Congrats man

Been a watcher for about a year or year and a half now, and all I can say Is wow. It’s been amazing to see you grow and become the world record holder. Congratulations Oats, you sure have earned it. We are all extremely proud of you

[@PrimeIsCrime]

Congratulations on the World Record Oats. You have earned it.

[@michaellagden8920]

Mate have been watching you progress for a few years. I am really happy for you. Hard work and dedication has paid off. Inspirational.

[@TheHiveGuardian]

This makes my heart so happy to see. The title screen of this game is always so visceral to me. The sounds. The loneliness. This game is a masterclass in creating atmosphere and seeing it dismantled like this is just incredible.

[@ERRandDEL]

Absolute world record *demolition* . 9.2s. I can't even begin to imagine how cathartic it has to feel to finally tear this thing down after so long! The goatster absolutely did it.

[@meriotroid]

You've been a WR-level runner for a hot minute, you just needed the RNG to go along with it. I cried, man. Such an earned WR. Godspeed, Oat Man. You deserve it 🔥

Crazy finding comments from creators I know from other genres that I watched years ago, reminds us that it's a small world.

[@KornersquaredMike]

Unbelievable grit and determination for the record. Those are hard earned tears. A record of this size in a game this competitive and old is absolutely insane. Congratulations Oats. The Goat is on top once again

[@marcoscabezolajr.8408]

I just realized you beat the World Record by a whopping 9 seconds! Nobody is touching that time for a while, absolute congratulations! One of the most amazing videos from your channel, and definitely the most important. Don't worry about grinding too much, for years you have grinded this, it's time to rest. You earned it, a legend of gaming history 👏

[@sonen3]

TRULY amazing! I was really moved with your happy tears at the end aswell, can't imagine what pressure builds up when you grind a game almost every day like this. I think this is the most well deserved WR I have ever experienced. Awesome to have been able to follow you on this journey. You are a great inspiration for me!

[@enanitossb5677]

This is truly an inspirational achievement! You have worked your ass off for this and shown that when you set your mind to something, you can make anything happen. I started watching your videos and got into SM randomizers because of you, and I just wanted to say I appreciate all that effort you put in. Congrats again Oats!!

[@rosslytle5700]

> you can make anything happen Okay, Oas. Now that you have the WR, it's time to fix climate change, k?

[@xDARKSHADEx]

​@@rosslytle5700yeah, make it hotter so all the whiners die out

[@tullyparker]

You are legitimately an inspiration after seeing you come so close so many times and have never given up. I can't imagine the pressure you felt staying so positive this whole time and you finally did it. Great job Oats!

[@Keith52Yo]

I think it’s so important to note that Oats throughout this entire run did not just sit there and play. He conversed with his chat, read it, interacted, and yes, focused in specific parts. But compared to Zoasty? It’s just insanely different and WAY more impressive to watch Oats speed run while multitasking and talking to his chat. It’s beautiful.

[@TheBfutgreg]

He's said that it helps him focus/not overthink....he's got a different type of brain for this thing and I think I can relate, maybe slightly ADD or whatever, similar idea For me he's a better speedrun streamer than most, since it's better if I want to catch a stream casually, he's a great speedrunner still while riffing with chat

[@findlaycurtis]

I've watched hundreds of Oats Speed Runs over the last 12 years and I can tell this is the one to end them all. Hell its possible no one in the world will EVER beat this 40:36! I mean he's NINE SECONDS ahead of Zoast's best! WAY TO GO OATS! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! I always knew you were the best and I've always had the time of my life watching you live with my adrenaline pumped up to the max. I'm so happy to see all this hard work, blood, sweat and tears have paid off. You deserve it bro!

[@anr1991]

Manly tears for this legendary run. No one deserved it more than you Oats.

[@Scorp721]

Didn't come out with a 40:45:xxx or a 40:44 but a damned 40:36. Blew the old wr out of the water by near 10 seconds. Congrats on a well earned WR man. Been watching for a long time, it's nice to see all your hard work pay off.

[@airiakizuki5592]

near the end there didnt he also say he made a small mistake and cost himself 3 seconds? hes got room to beat his own wr in the future

[@aidanhogan-thomas1797]

​@airiakizuki5592 why not just break the sm64 16 star record while he's at it. Lmao.

[@maxiqums1549]

yep if he'd beat this in his last PB that would be a WR by a frame and now he just killed the category lol (hopefully not)

[@Bloody_crow]

​@@airiakizuki5592it was a bad motherbrain cycle at the end that cost him 4 secs or so, when she dropped a bomb. He's got a strat that keeps him jumping and she won't drop one, but he said he was shaking too much and didn't trust himself to do it

[@airiakizuki5592]

@@Bloody_crow so if he really wanted to he might be able to get a 40:30 time :) and set a near impossible to beat WR

[@rosslytle5700]

I remember as a kid thinking that I was probably one of the best people in the world at Super-Metroid because I had beaten it in under an hour in-game time. Initially, I felt pretty inadequate as a gamer when I found the speedrunning community and GDQ, but it's been amazing to see so many people even more passionate about these games than me. Thanks for showcasing all this cool stuff through the years and for fostering the community around this game and the various randomizers, remixes, and hacks of it. You've def earned this WR. You've furthered metroidvanias as a genre and gaming culture as a whole. Oats the GOAT. Btw, what are you gonna do now that you've won the record? Go to Didny Worl?

[@opaljk4835]

If you can run it in under an hour you are no joke. To get it this low obviously takes so many hours and grinding like hell. These guys are awesome

[@gandalfgrey91]

43:15 aniv says nice work 🤣 amazing. Congrats on the wr Oats, you deserve it

[@psychoterrorism]

Could feel the strain during MB, was hard to watch even knowing the result, I can barely imagine what must have been going through your mind. So much work went into this, and it couldn't be more deserved. Thanks for bringing us along with you and always being entertaining and engaging. In my opinion, SM any% is the top record in speedrunning, so to me you just smashed the 100m sprint of gaming. Looking forward to the next challenge, but for now, I hope you can take a well deserved break.

[@coolpapabell22]

Idk, I've always thought of SMB1 as the 100m dash. SM64 is the 1500m, and Super Metroid is the decathlon maybe. :D

Alright Oats... GODDAMN IT MAAAAAN! I mean seriously.. i could not watch it live but watching the VOD of this run was SOMETHING ELSE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean at the end of the run seeing your reaction... u were so mentally exausted that I TRULLY FELT the relief you were talking about man!!! IT LITERALLY TOOK YOUR SOUL to get this record! ONLY YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE FAILED UNTIL YOU FINALLY SUCCEED and this road aint pretty!! Actually the hardest thing is for sure NOT GIVING UP BROTHER!!! I would be DONE AS HELL with this category too if i was you too lol! Anyways YOU EARNED IT MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!!! Like you said this record is not unbeatable but any sm runner who takes it from you WILL HAVE A LOT TO WORK ON...so it is done man... YOU FREAKING MADE IT!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"washed up speedrunner" no longer, Oats. Chads DO cry, and I teared up a little with you. Knew your determination would get you the WR eventually man. Glad to see it, and it's a well earned WR. Now take a well earned break.

[@timhowland7103]

I wasn't able to watch live, but have certainly watched over the last year plus and watched the progression as you chipped away at your PBs and then this WR. I can honestly say I choked up a bit watching your reaction at the end. You can 100% FEEL the relief set in and the pressure dissipate into the air when you looked down at the time. So many variables, so many attempts, so much frustration and agony that we, as the viewer, don't necessarily understand. With that, I do think we all felt the same relief for you. The anxiety was always there when we watched a run that was pushing the WR pace. I hope this was your "goal time" and you can rest on Any% for the time being. Watching you crush a game I'm so fond of from my childhood, and even my adulthood, is one of the more satisfying things I've witnessed recently. You, and the SM community are achieving things I never thought possible when I started playing this game almost two decades ago. Keep up the fantastic work, Oats. This community is behind you, for sure.

[@JustenHarper]

Long time watcher first time commenter - this is just really cool to watch. Stoked for you dude. Just cool to see a that a game from so many of our childhoods still alive, still getting optimized and pushed farther. Thanks for all the runs and fun. Congrats!!

[@yomi001]

I didn't know doing these Any% runs was so draining for Oats. It's awesome that he was able to beat the world record by more than 9 seconds. The tension and shaking towards the end was intense. I'm happy he got the payoff for all that hard work and discipline. Congrats Oats! (and thanks for all the entertainment you've given us over the years!)

[@AetherDude101]

Congratulations Oats! 40:36! I'm a '92 child and my earliest memories are of buying and playing SM. Seeing what you do in SM is precious to watch and I've been watching a backlog of your content since discovering your channel a few weeks prior and watching your triumph 9mo after. Enjoy your randos, especially the map random, and having a blast about to watch Metroid Shuffler #2. You single handedly introduced me to SM randomizers, and I premade 3 to dive into when I'm ready. I'll never be a speedrunner or know do all the tricks, but I will now always enjoy my childhood game thanks to the map and tileset randos. No excuses. I'm going to execute. 😀

[@SlySpaceChicken]

You've been putting in SO much work for a such a LONG time. Many of us knew it was only a matter of time before you took the World Record, but I don't think any of us expected you to shatter it like this! Simply incredible. Almost ten seconds of improvement over the past World Record, and you earned every frame of it. Congratulations!

[@SkyfoxDartner]

Im speechless. This has been such a journey and im so glad you shared this with us and brought us along on this wild ride. We may not feel your exact struggles, but we have certainly been in your position before to some extent, and i can only imagine the rush of freedom you received from this World record. You've worked so hard on this and its awesome to see it pay off. It was only a matter of time

[@tubularturnips]

What a legend, 9 second improvement over previous WR. Absolutely insane stuff, GG Oats.

[@geogeo004]

Congrats on the WR. It's astonishing seeing your hard work bear fruits. You're for me one of the best speedruner/entertainer. Even when I can follow mostly only the YT VODs. Hope the best to you in the future. Funny thing.😂 I got the Lasik operation this february. What a coincidence. I had -2,5 on both eyes. For anyone thinking of doing it - don't feel pressured, inform yourself well and if it is for you and you personaly would and want to spend the money and sit through any of the eye operations do it. For me personaly it was worth it and I'm very happy with my descision.

[@failswithtails]

Congratulations! I rarely get a chance to see you live, but I always love watching your VODs. Your hard work, dedication, and technical skill reflect in all of your videos, even outside of vanilla Super Metroid. You've absolutely earned this world record with your blood, sweat, and tears, and I'm glad you were able to share this moment with your lovely community. Much love ❤

Oats is the reason I started speedrunning games years ago. Being able to watch him get WR live was a special kind of catharsis for me. Major GGs for this insane run and all the incredible time, work, and effort put into making it happen.

This is the first SM run I've ever watched, it appeared randomly on my feed right before bed. Having played the game casually a few times, I can tell from the gameplay alone how much practice has built up to this run. Your reaction at the end speaks volumes. Even with as little context as a first-time viewer has, this is one of the most inspiring speedruns I've seen! Congratulations, Oats!!

Wow congrats! So well deserved! Never played this game as a kid but caught some of your runs and thought it looked so interesting, started playing this year and love it now(a lot of you vids have also really helped get my times down lol), amazing to see the record broken!
