Great Job on the video, nice and smooth editing! 😊

[@Neentensev]

the run is so interesting i love it

[@huevonesunltd]

Can't wait for Badabun to use this footage in a fake speedrun

[@arcdj]

Insane is an understatement

[@2_Elliot]

Everyone's impressed with the ground clipping while im sitting here laughing at the frame perfect fireball timing with the music.

[@1ted59]

When I was reacting to it on stream the gameplay was muted, which is why no one mentioned it on commentary

[@MeesterTweester]

1ted59 Oh

[@chairger]

especially 13:25 with the sick beat

[@shaundiltz5821]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Conklin03]

I mean everyone in the chat seemed pretty impressed with the music sync.

We didn't have audio when we were reacting to it, so it just looked like random fireballs

Thank you for the timestamp

Imagine just joining the stream and seeing this 6:00

[@systembooter]

True

[@skyblade7438]

Local plumber runs through the floor while throwing koopas in pits and throwing fireballs in time with the music in order to minimise time spent airborne.

[@foiled9491]

"What can you do with the fish?" famous last words

[@spaces1990]

This inspired me to never press A again

[@noonetookthis8935]

lol

[@polyunrhythmicinactiveacco4772]

i too ws inspired to never press tht button ever gin

[@michaelbuckers]

Half A press? Rookie numbers!

The moment we've ALL been waiting for!

[@TheJFerg24]

I only thumbs down this comment to keep it at 62 likes

[@kulrigalestout]

The Pannenkoek bug has bitten people for other Mario games as well! :D I honestly love the shenanigans that take the place of pressing A.

[@arfansthename]

In every possible TAS HappyLee will just: "What if I/we make this TAS... 搞砸了吗?"

[@aok76_]

I physically clapped after it ended. Such a crazy TAS. Great work guys!

[@Decommissioned]

When I first saw this on happylee's channel I was amazed, now rewatching it I have a much greater appreciation for the time and effort that went into it.

[@TheAdvertisement]

This is just beautiful. The amount of effort put into this tas from the entire team is incredible, and it's awesome you guys came together to finish this project, to work out everything!

[@ctoacu6188]

Something about this being showed with people talking reminds me of a convention panel. Makes sense though. People seeing crazy things for the first time, new content and new ways. It really takes me back, makes me feel really happy.

[@Kmaann11]

Gotta love the power of asking a question and having other people help you answer it. Outstanding work to everyone involved!

[@dr.phlosion7485]

"Enjoy Super Mario Bros. in ........A presses..." YES!

[@aadityasharma7971]

Just imagining how a warpless minimum A press would look like! Would take years to do I guess! :0 Great work on this guys! Thoroughly enjoyed the strats!

[@anoobis117]

We need 100% version of this

[@ruben_smo]

Yep warpless

[@jatloe]

@@ruben_smo Yeah, Kriller’s TAS comps sometimes do those. You can beat 7-3 in 0 A presses in 5-3 in 4, it’s crazy

[@creativebeetle]

This is a fantastic culmination of speedrunning history and technical maximisation, super cool to see Congrats!

[@PierceArner]

This was SUCH a fun time to watch on stream. Absolutely CRAZY stuff and so stoked to see the results of all your hard work!

[@EebstertheGreat]

I love Mario crouching every other frame so he doesn't collide with the spinies.

[@Debuttfes]

This is amazing! I cant even imagine all the creative ways you guys saved on A presses. Thank you guys for making this, it’s an absolute treat

[@Austin-Shenk]

I love Kosmic's joy at seeing his team's TAS break the game in ways never seen before. Great TAS!

[@shinymoltres73]

Easily one of the coolest TAS I've ever seen. Amazing work you guys!

[@markomk9761]

Watching it in slowmo is incredible how every move is performed

[@masteryoda913]

With you, the force is, Kosmic!

[@notanimposter]

I watched this TAS 3 times on stream, once on HappyLee's channel, and I'm watching it again now. It's just so entertaining. The double BBG kosmicGlitch is just *chef's kiss*

[@zickykane5206]

Absolutely insane. The skill and planning in all of this is a work of art.

[@cigankiller]

Looks insane, congrats to all of you

[@SDGamez-uh9wz]

JEEZ! This might be one of kosmics best sounding video, just listen to how good the sound is

[@ScourgeZX]

Amount of crazy jaw dropping tricks in this video is absolutely mind blowng! Didn't even knew such things possible in this game. Fantastic work!

[@ci.netproductions]

12:31 This part where they started pausing to manipulate the fish RNG… really got me XD Best part in the TAS in my opinion

[@Qoobon_]

i seen that idea, and i liked it! So im happy you made it speedrun of it

[@vinijoncrafts2882]

6:01 "We made our best to make it entretaining"

[@banddgames]

This was sooo entertaining. Great job to everyone who worked on this!

[@VentiSizedCup]

I can’t pass up a good tas video! Good stuff my dude!

[@darkkxxzeroxx]

The run none of us knew we needed Thanks for 2 years of work all for the community an entertainment of others an not to forget just for the love of the game 2021 has been the year of smb1

[@TheLuigimaster51]

Congrats to everyone involved on this for finally getting it done. I guessed around 60 a presses before the TAS began and was surprised I was not too far off.

[@eggstatus5824]

I love TAS videos so much. One of the biggest highlights of nearly every TAS is when there are random points where the player character moves back and forth or side to side every frame

[@Lettuce1]

Very impressive, quality as always Kosmic!

[@MikeDiggity]

This was absolutely incredible! You guys did an amazing job! You should be extremely proud of yourselves! Thank you for your years of hard work to finally present this to us! Wow! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I know you started making this ages ago, but this can now be exponentially improved thanks to the Game and Watch Mini! :O

[@ryanbradley248]

Couldn’t sleep and my man Kosmic delivers the goods.

[@Ben-kz2km]

The way you presented the run was amazing. You could have just shown the video, but having people watch it live and reacting to it made it much better. This is the Apple iPhone keynote of presenting speedruns.

[@SMASHINGblargharghar]

Might just be my favorite video on KZbin right now. Amazing!!

[@duncathan_salt]

This was so fun to watch live :) I'm a friend of periwinkle's and he sent me the link for the premiere

[@-Keith-]

This is the video I've been waiting to see the most out of Kosmic.

[@Jenaxu]

11:21 It's kinda funny that it also looks like they're all walking on a 3D road instead of being clipped into the ground.

[@kriller3771]

Lets go

[@shaundiltz5821]

This may be the most entertaining thing I've ever seen

[@PaperCrane78]

Great job kosmic this was awesome

[@CptGallant]

Really cool project, and a lot of unexpected strategies. Great job guys!

That was super cool Kosmic! The best part was when he built the stairs using the koopas on different planes. Way impressive.

[@sensokaeru7070]

The best part of this video on youtube is watching the chat lose their minds when you used those cheep cheeps in 8-4.

[@darkkxxzeroxx]

2 years of hard work......favorite part the fire balls in time with the music lol. Good run boys

[@Section_99]

That was so cool! Can't wait to see the comentated version so I can better understand exactly how cool it really is!!

okay the whole thing is crazy but 8-4 is INSANE
