But then I found the Summoning Salt channel and discovered that the old consoles still have high entertainment value and that amazing new tricks are still being discovered to this day. Thank you, Summoning Salt, for compiling such wonderful research and the achievements of the speed running community. And the song We're Finally Landing always manages to make me emotional.

Mario Kart, Super Mario, all of them. You could never do enough Mario videos. Although I would watch any video you put out! The research you do is so thorough and it really shows. I love how you explain how the glitches and shortcuts work.

@@MadKnight12 I know you didnt ask me but I only really see parodies and they would be really silly stuff. Like the yandere simulator discord ban speedruns and american dad video.

Cue We're Finally Landing

[@winstonsmith7545]

This is probably one of my favorites of your videos. You deserve the success you have, and it’s cool to hear how you got it. We’re all glad you’re around 🤙🏾

[@nikomyorobinson8147]

I cry everytime I watch these PERFECT VIDEOS, they ALWAYS elicit an exponential amount of Joy related to the (Love) Work you put in. It always feels like these are inlets to other dimensions of hype and solice, where the focus of a man is brought to it’s emotional limits thank you so much! ❤

[@Alpharad]

Easily one of my favorite channels. Congrats. :) Love to see it

I’m not a speedrunner. Overall I don’t have much interest in the speed running community. But your videos are so well made that they make for very interesting viewing. It’s like how if a documentary is of sufficient quality and is able to inform the viewer without the viewer having any prior knowledge of the subject then the documentary can still be highly interesting and compelling. That’s what your videos achieve, you don’t have to be a speed-runner or even follow the speed running community to enjoy them because of how well you present everything. A perfect mix of technical information, stats and facts, combined with a brilliant blend of drama to keep it super intriguing.

[@PerpetualAlfa]

Agree completely. The melodrama really ramps up the suspense. My favourite part of his videos are always when he says: “....and then this happened...”

[@thecloofer1255]

Congratulations dude. Well deserved. It's not easy to highlight the skill, determination, and collaboration required to accomplish these goals. I honestly believe that your channel is about the human spirit in a lot of ways. Thanks for keeping us inspired man.

[@gabrielresidentevil]

Congrats Salt, I've been in your channel for a while now, and I can't thank you enough for so many great moments I've got from your videos notifications! You are THE BEST content creator I've ever seen, if anyone deserves millions of subscribers it's you! I'm already excited for your next video and for the future this channel holds! Thank you again for this amazing content, and I wish you the best!

[@NigeruWILLIAM04]

I gotta say, as a non-native english speaker (Spanish is my main language and I understand about 85% of a video in english), I really enjoy each and everyone of your videos. Excellent research, perfect music and editing. The way you narrate is so relaxing and that's why I enjoy watching almost 1 hour long videos. Keep it on, congrats for 1M!

[@tye-exe]

As a native English speaker, I thoroughly approve of you English skills

[@UtsukushiSekai]

Your english is great!

Buenas Nigeru :v

1M. and that's where the record stands today.

[@alexanderbriones4882]

And as he said, WR beaten a couple of days later: 1.01M

[@warenwolf_17]

And suddenly, the WR was beaten again: 1.02M

[@goldenwolf2462]

Now it seems the world record could be brought to 1.03M an unbelievable record

[@weidner427]

Wow, this end to the video combined with We're Finally Landing really gave me goosebumps. I always love stumbling upon a new video of yours. Your channel has a unique flair, the choice of music and your style of narrating these runs with such in-depth research is just relaxing, interesting and truly enjoyable. Did not realize I haven't subscribed until now after watching you for two years, of course I instantly changed that. Here's to more millions of subscribers, you will deserve each single one of them. Also I can't wait to see what will happen outside of KZbin. Please do all of us a favor and keep being such a humble person and keep making these documentaries. True love, Tim

These videos are GOD TIER CONTENT. Can’t imagine how many people’s days were made with all of these inspirational stories you were able to tell, much respect👊👊🔥🔥
