The Longest Super Mario World Speedrun History

[@JasonBaum]

This was a fun video to come up on my recommended! I’m Jason Baum, aka GameCube04 (though I haven’t gone by that in a long time, haha). I did the 1:31:45 speed run way back in 2005. I really appreciate you showing highlights of my run, especially the Tubular strategy! I was always proud of that one. You are correct that my thinking of going small in Valley of Bowser 2 was to navigate the raising/lowering platform section faster. It’s interesting to me that not only was this apparently unnecessary, but that other runners copied that strategy! Speed running was a lot different in the early years- it was much more of an individual effort as far as coming up with routes and strategies, whereas today it’s much more community based. But that’s what I’m most proud of about my run- I came up with every strategy for every level all by myself. It was really interesting learning how much this category has progressed with the new strats and clips- definitely way beyond my skill level! When I was going for my run, I always figured a “perfect” run would be in the 1:28 range- clearly I was wrong. Fun fact- my speed run actually made it into the 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records!

[@whatevermakesyouhappy5932]

Very cool, my friend. That tubular strat is legendary.

[@Naito9874]

Yooo, let's go!

[@nat_cat2923]

omg summoning salt, storster, karl jobst, OtherRuns, Maximum released the video on almost the same day? I am in heaven?

[@nalyn830]

So real dude 💀

[@k.s.nichols4060]

As I said in another video, I don't speedrun and I haven't even played these games in decades, but these videos are so good.

[@Avendesora]

msushi, too!

exactly lmao

[@birdfacemd]

When you said "beating every single level at once", for a second I thought you meant literally getting every exit at the exact same time which, while almost certainly impossible would be one goddamn incredible TAS if you could somehow do that with one set of inputs sent to 96 emulators at the same time.

[@LongWaster]

I'm sensing a challenge

[@SUPERFunStick]

I don't think there's another channel on KZbin who can talk about Bowser's balls so many times while keeping up a straight, professional and level voice. You have much more self control than I would in your place.

[@thedeet2676]

Heh…balls.

[@tylerlarsen1842]

Maybe Storster can do a video on the legendary Flash game Bowser Ball

[@KremBotop]

This is turning into a great weekend for Speedrun doc watchers. Glad this channel's back.

[@surprisedlobsta8543]

Indeed, Storster, Summoning Salt and Karl Jobst releasing videos within around 24 hours of one another, it's indeed pretty amazing

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

You have no idea how much time I spent, as a wee child with no internet, scouring those levels over and over trying to find those last four elusive points and get 100 on my file lmfao

how has this only got 3,000 views? i cant even begin to imagine how much work you must have put into this

[@edu2076]

Love the contrast between the choice of derpy and happy music with the deep serious but sometimes fun voiceover. Well put together video too. SNES overload.

[@nicholas_7r]

YESSSSSSSS! I'VE WAITED FOR A VIDEO ON THE WORLD RECORD PROGRESSION OF THIS CATEGORY FOR YEARS!!! THANK YOU STORSTER

[@Narteketh]

i bursed into tears when i heard "mario killed bowser's balls"

[@EvilMike349]

Two great hours between you and Summoning in two days, AND this video is about my first and favorite Mario game? Hell of a weekend, boys

[@dennyheadrick8099]

11 months later and not much has changed. Looks like Oosui recently posted a 1:21:08:733 that sits on top. Enjoyed the video!!!

[@DemiIsNotHere]

You know a game is beloved when the record on 2005 survived and its just a few minutes slower than today on a run longer than an hour.

[@Vednier]

That impresses me is that there is tools to make mods of this game (all fan made) and mods is STILL coming even now. And many of those mod is surpassed original beyond any beliefs not just making new levels or add some beauty bits (honestly, original was rushed and it feels, game is little barren in tern of eye candy) - they even add content from OTHER games inside.

[@grandmastermario3695]

I challenged myself to get atleast a top 10 or better in all 104 main board full game categories, in the 3 dadish games, and im happy i completed it, theres not many people who run dadish and categories are not popular but i personally am happy with doing it.

[@jamesknapp64]

well made, and very interesting. I do hope for a Lunar Dragon video (first video I've watched on your channel)

[@The_Juice14]

46:07 PENGA MENTIONED RAHHHHH WTF IS DRAM WORLD 3!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@jacobmccain8082]

Man I found all 96 levels organically as a kid and remembered feeling such a feeling of completion once I realized I had beaten everything. Only thing better I remember is finally beating Tyson that one time 😂

[@Edlandish]

This is a great video but I have to say the captions saying "it was enough for my butt to reign supreme once again" was really the highlight for me.

[@stephenmoran5855]

Man, nobody has this much info on mid 90's runs. Crazy stuff. Keep it up!

[@dram551]

Great video, very well put together!! I forgot most of this so it was very nostalgic to watch. This category is so destroyed now - it's really awesome what the runners/community have done. Regarding your question @26:23 that bugged me too so I did a deep dive and also came up empty. But I have this memory of him having a lower time and talking about it in the old #smw IRC channel because there was some confusion with timing methods. I'll ask around and see if I can find anything.

[@Storster]

Really nice to see you here Dram and I hope you are doing well! That part of my research was definitely the most frustrating by far, but I hope as a whole I did the history justice!

[@mattallen9657]

LEGEND

[@dram551]

@@Storster I was able to get a copy of the 2012/2013 #smw logs - everything you had in the video was dead on! I have no idea where that 1:24:23 time came from - it was never mentioned in irc. What I was remembering was Menboo asking me about my 1:24:35 because there was some weirdness with framerate on the KZbin encode. Again, awesome video!

[@tcscomment]

0:00 this song sounds like "Hybrid Song" by Quazar, an old XM module

[@Storster]

Good catch! That is what the song is modeled from!

[@grandmastermario3695]

I love this game only did 11 exit glitchless though, can't do all 96.

[@16-BitMario94]

fun fact if you go in the same pipe 256 times i know the magic number you get a goofy cutscene and get sent to the bottom of the level i know from experience it sucked

[@Pixiuchu]

I really want to watch this video but pretty much never knowing what year it is or not having any indication of when these runs were done actually makes it painful to watch/understand. Even just having a date on the bottom left of the screen to show who's video this belongs to and when it was recorded would highly boost the video's quality, but not having that and it being so unclear what year it is just makes it so hard to watch. Edit: watched the rest anyway, video is still pretty good, though my above nitpick does still apply

[@SuperB252]

This is CRAZY

[@raven11356]

I think I have found an unknown glitch in W1L2 where you first get Yoshi. I can get the cloud that tosses coins.

[@psychotheunsane7285]

[@thebananagamer56]

I did do all 96 exits in one sitting about a month ago with my stepdad, both of us being big Mario world fans, knowing pretty much all of the secrets. It was insanely fun and I would agree with you everyone should try to do this. We did it in seven hours though and took a break for dinner.

[@kevinhay2267]

That was a fantastic video Storster, great story, brilliantly told.

[@BVP93]

I have watched speedruns since the early days of Twitch with Siglemic in 2010 as my entry. Watched thousands of runs. 96 exit will always be my favorite category and happy to see guys I've followed for years now (Kakusho and Linkdead) get some love. Great video!!

[@softestcat]

I think a video on the unintended exits could be interesting. (The speedrun history of the intended exits certainly is!)

[@Storster]

Honestly something I have considered! Maybe in the future!

[@gaminggoddess85]

That red panda vtube avatar is horrifying.

[@Mister_Clean]

It's really cool seeing the comparisons and improvements of the newer runs

[@RahkshiBoi]

Take a shot every time Sorster mentioned Bowser’s balls in some capacity.

[@prizm9515]

96 Exit is a lot more interesting than you would initially think, due to most people thinking that all you have to do is fly through every level. Nice vid

[@AkumaAPN]

I think it would be fun if someone used glitches to beat the yoshi house, and use stored orb to beat the donut cache level, and then cut out 2 of the more time-consuming exits to get "96 exits" faster. A 96 exits all glitches allowed category!

The entire audio/structure has actually been done since January but i shelved it due to a lack of motivation and personal stuff. I’m heavily debating taking a stab at it again and releasing it this summer All I can say now is that if it was released this second, it’d be my longest video ever

[@nshadex72]

@@Storster Alright man take your time great videos tho 😁

[@Damonnanashi]

12:07 It's so weird hearing how difficult it is to actually track anything pre 2013. There are a bunch of games we can go way back. For instance, we basically have the entire history of Goldeneye. Granted, it had its own dedicated site, but we have almost everything from the 90s till today. There's even videos of old runs. They would record them onto a VHS tape and send them in as proof.

[@Yupppi]

People often call games so broken, but the fact is that they still work and play well after crazy abuse by the players. Like Ocarina of Time. Many other games just crash or become unplayable. Compared to getting one stage counting to exit count.
