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!

[@Wookis]

exactly lmao

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

👋👋👋👋 @nat_cat2923

[@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

[@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

Amazing video! Thank you so much for taking the time to compile the history of this awesome category!

[@Storster]

Awesome to see you here, I hope things have been well for you! Cheers 😄

[@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

[@RangerQwerty]

What I love about the SMW community is how we can talk about things like about making message blocks out of thin air like they're normal.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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

[@VitaEmerald324]

I knew I recognized the name maiba and hearing his Mario 3 credits at 53:36 cemented it

[@alimbis]

i love this channel so much and it makes me sad how little attention it gets. ive been watching since the first SMW video which is one of your most popular

[@an0therdimensi0n99]

relax, look what jesus did with just 12 disciples..

[@kevinhay2267]

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

[@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.

[@Mister_Clean]

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

[@nicholas_7r]

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

[@murrowmench1565]

Karl Jobst and Summoning Salt yesterday, then Storster today? Let’s gooooo!

[@YoloMenace001]

Best week of Speedrun documentaries ever.

[@wildjames]

who?

[@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

[@pacboy24]

They couldn’t add 4 more levels?… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Sqk.]

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

[@CaptainJZH]

MY FAVORITE SPEEDRUN FINALLY GETS A BREAKDOWN??? (ok technically my favorite is the Lunar Dragon variant but it counts)

[@hillierutopia4554]

My very favorite thing about this last decade is the era of speed running. Where we can see two sides of the world speed running a game when all of a sudden, through the internet, these groups of people are able to see the strategies each other came up with or found. So interesting to see all the ideas come together

[@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

[@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!

[@nshadex72]

Finally a long video by Storster, welcome back, also I am wondering when you'll continue the Mario speedrun iceberg series I am waiting for tier 2

[@Storster]

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.

[@Narteketh]

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

[@RahkshiBoi]

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

[@jamesknapp64]

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

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@The_Juice14]

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

[@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]

[@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!

[@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.

[@nextkestrel]

Wow pat, 69k views so far. I’m happy for you bro. I’ve quit the speedrun community for a a while to focus on my junior and senior year of high school (the french baccalaureate system can be difficult) and now I’m heading off to university. Your videos are genuinely entertaining to watch fully through. Good luck for the future, I believe in you. Maybe I’ll rejoin the speedrunning community once again in the future. -kestrel

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.

[@panopticpunk]

At 26:05 to 26:54 there is a really weird, and pretty severe, audio glitch. Possibly blew my headphones (left side doesn't work anymore) but haven't tested on another device yet. EDIT: The aberration actually kicks back in AGAIN at 26:58 on-the dot, and stops at 27:06, then kicks back in AGAIN at 27:09, and stops at 27:50. - which "seems" to be the end of it. Just thought i'd let you know. Great vid other then that! (edit: corrected time frames to be 100% accurate instead of an approximation, and added some more time frames in a 2nd edit)

[@sportsjefe]

That's... that's the background music. Sounds a bit like a low sweeping sound?

[@SuperB252]

This is CRAZY

[@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
