Super Mario Bros. NES speedrun in

This is my fastest SMB speedrun from several years ago. 07-27-2017 -- Watch live at / arcus

[@sirpiken]

Truly the Bob Ross of speed running.

[@justadad2222]

Lol. Bob Ross was the man. Great comparison 👏 👍

[@mushman830]

Accurate!!

[@nicholasbaker7159]

FACT

[@kevinlynch256]

100%

[@Plymouth-rz2ex]

He looks nothing like bob Ross. Lol

[@soursugar4867]

“That was a good klunk” is now my favorite phrase

[@Mr.Death101]

Next time you're done banging your girl you should say that phrase LOL

[@mj23back]

whooa is my fav. k

[@phattjohnson]

@@Mr.Death101 I'll drop the "aaand CLUNK" 30 seconds in and roll over immediately for the lols. If she complains, I'll say "hey at least it's not my PB" :P

[@sil4rty]

Jump and bump. That's a good bump. Lmao

[@chrispotts3794]

Klunk... good klunk

[@alexc.1072]

Speedrunning is just better when an asmr-voiced cowboy does it.

[@HueyTheDoctor]

People like Arcus show us that it's entirely possible to love a person you'll never meet for reasons you can't fully articulate.

[@WobblePizza]

This is a sad thing to say. You invest in a one sided friendship when you could be out investing in a real one.

[@tomchampagne6536]

I now always say “mash, mash, mash” when I type in the totals for customer purchases on the terminals at work

[@dickmarx1298]

Lol but do you say "aaaanndd klonk" when hitting the TOTAL button?

[@MikeyD8716]

Mash-er-smash

[@PronatorTendon]

I do that when doing root canals. It's generally the last thing they see before going out

[@pbrninja19]

Whoever hit thumbs down just feels insecure about the quality of their klunks

[@anthonywilliamscreates]

Is cuz they can only get bad klunks.

[@my_wheelhouse]

This is blessed. He such a calm bro.

[@JayTheBarber603]

Wow dude you’ve carved out quite a little universe of your own. Very nice to watch. I never feel like your catch phrases are gimmicky, you can tell the things you say are keeping you locked in. Wish you more success, I’m not a live watcher, but your KZbin Channels getting better and better.

[@nikevisor54]

His Twitch streams are as comfy but there's something special about an Arcus upload that makes you grab the special snacks before you settle in

[@justarandomguy5088]

A burrito

[@JosephQPublic]

Settle in for a 6 minute video 😀

[@iank3924]

Everyone in here and Arcus, all of you rock. Klunk.

[@phattjohnson]

So do you, Ian!

[@nyrich10]

Even when I know he's going to have a good run, my heart still jumps in spots.

[@yuriysavintsev1896]

your heart was jumping and my ass was shrinking.

[@chuckjackson4487]

I stumbled upon Arcus today. It's a good day. I'm immediately a fan.

[@THEFRISKIESTDINGO]

Summoning Salt forced me to love this man at gunpoint

[@MariaGonzalez-eq3vh]

. uy fhul .

[@KickDrumKid23]

I don't understand how this could be done any faster. Nice job man.

[@BennyBoxx]

He did this with minimum blood. Only Bowser and very few of his henchmen met their fate.

[@DK3CHAMP]

Extremely solid run for something that didn't use flag pole, bulletville, or wall glitches.

[@samhobbeheydar5969]

He’s so calm throughout the run I’ll bet his heart rate is oscillating between 85 and 89 the whole time

[@S.s-29706]

That's a Badabun referance lol

[@jakerittlinger440]

Oscillating means spinning.

[@genseek00]

You are making the hardest part of this game -- jumping -- look so simple. Unbelievable.

[@paulw.9015]

Level 8-2 is a monster of a level and you just cakewalked it

[@bruht101]

Damn Arcus is killing this

[@pablovaldes2810]

That last burrito speedrun was fire

[@glowingunknown5625]

Is that a Taco Bell rating?

[@solidsnakeisme]

This upload makes me happy. This is one of those uploads that I not only know what is going on but I can actually keep up with you. The only other game I can keep up with is smb 3.

[@metalheadmaniac8686]

1:57 you dont need sound effects in the game when you got arcus

[@Heymrk]

Kosmic had better watch out! A new challenger emerges.

[@DUDEABIDES001]

that ending celebration was the most wholesome thing iver seen in my entire life

[@aleaiactaest6503]

Arcus is the most wholesome speedrunner since DGR's glory days

[@paulhallas9649]

Very nice. Congrats on the PB. The "WR by Darbian" had me second guessing for a moment there. Lol

[@Tenkai917]

Idk how you can be so chill while doing this, I'm getting anxiety just watching.

[@DrMicahLuv]

Congratulations on a sub 5 run! So much respect to you! Keep up the good work and my best to you and yours.

[@Boppsta712]

Time machine mind blow idea: bring you to Nintendo headquarters the day this came out to perform this run.

[@scottwoodtraining]

You exude such calm when I know your heart has to be racing. Chill as hell. Great run!

[@SomeIdiot97]

I'm gonna share Arcus streams to all my friends his content is so enjoyable

[@Baker15ww]

This is the second speed run of yours I have seen today. I really enjoyed it. Way to go👍🏻

[@De_Paula]

Amazing Arcus !!💪🏻💪🏻 greatings from Spain

[@IvanOdintsoff]

I don't know what is more impressive: the speedrun itself or these precise cluncks!

[@LorenHelgeson]

Very solid work on the 4-2 pipe warp. For a sec, I thought you just barely missed your window.

[@nihilisticadventure]

Arcus reminds me of Yoda. The greatest master, and nothing like you'd expect

[@wunderlichD]

What a wholesome way to celebrate! Grats on the pb!

[@BradleyCoopertest]

Still can’t believe he’s 63 years old.

[@RzRipper]

My childhood. 1990 to 1994. love it

[@cchayas]

Yooo I’m exited to see this speed run

[@chitwn]

Excited

[@halason1]

you're so chill, love the videos.

[@mayonnnnnaise]

Arcus is the bob ross of game streaming

[@PronatorTendon]

Wow man this is really great. People work for years to get a time like that, and you're just playing this along with a couple dozen others. The overall talent is impressive

[@TommyJakobsson42]

Man. I love your videos. You are truely amazing.

[@LiamLimeLarm]

I thought all his speedruns were jokes, then he just pulls out a top 100 in a competetive speedgame

[@kutulukutu]

That truly was a good psst. GG!

[@aydeee4669]

I missed this one, GG Arcus!

[@the8thark]

That Darbian time is not even in the top 10 anymore. It's currently 11th. he is still one of the greatest Mario speedrunners ever though. So many iconic runs. Also his bus analogy really helped everyone understand Mario Bros speedrunning. Your time here is 74th on the list. Also if you're (as in anyone warching this) are chasingh a top 100 time, you need to be well under 5 minutes. 99th tied is 4m 58.825

[@mediocrebeavermeat9749]

Came for the game stayed for the mustache... brand new to this. No idea how it ended up in my algorithm, but I have watched 20 in a row.

[@maxpower2511]

I like how Arcus does it without glitching the game

[@srblond]

All the little sound effects and terms he comes up with to keep himself entertained after countless hours solo doing these runs lollllll. Entertaining

[@joeyserrapede]

WOOT great run man, and before lunch with a good psst... Great run.

[@shizyninjarocks]

You, sir, are fearless.

[@michaelmalo1276]

Came for the speedrun, stayed for the ASMR.

[@CeeMeTV84]

Best Bob Ross to speed running !!!

[@8492hresvelgr]

That really was a good pssst

[@dangaiden]

As always, awesome Arcus!!

[@retropixel1051]

Increíble speed run !! You are a machine

[@dnaslinky369]

Lollll that was a good pstt as he opens the Perrier

[@ryvic9021]

bruh this guy is so chill

[@garyfrood6670]

Love this guy!!! Makes me feel shit that I can’t even complete these games.

[@trueilarim]

Oh, this was years old run. Was just thinking why darbian was marked as WR holder. But very good run and thanks for the upload! :)

[@hotstang92]

That mustache is EPIC! Most men's spines would snap attempting to grow such a 'stache.

[@BennyBoxx]

Young Arcus: Mom I wanna play Mario bros. Mother: I'll give you 5 minutes. Young Arcus: Yes!

[@James-vk6cu]

GG, sir. Enjoy the Perrier!

[@theblackraven4916]

almost the only game in the speedrun segment, where the countdown goes up to thousandths of a second

[@patrickhall6627]

He is just the best. You all know this.

[@random__itch]

* Celebrated with a Perrier * This man *defines* "wholesome"

[@chrono244]

That was such a great run!!!! I loved it!!

[@charlieismyhero3000]

You are such a dork! Lol Love it!😂👾. Imagine telling someone in the 80’s that the game could be beaten in under five minutes. They would think that you had lost your mind.

[@anthonywilliamscreates]

Back then it was less about beating it quickly and more about getting the highest score. They woulda seen this and been like "YOU'RE MISSING ALL THE COINS, THE BLOCKS, THE ENEMIES...YOU'RE NOT PLAYING IT RIGHT!"

[@rriggs6547]

I have to say, it is unique to see someone wearing a cowboy hat drinking Perrier. One would not think those two things would go together.

[@subzer007o4]

The Clunk heard all around the world 🌎

[@ggezlol-]

This dude is classic and yet he exist today.

[@metalheadmaniac8686]

2:37 what you said was just perfect XD XD XD

[@MarcosRDD]

Congratulations, Arcus.

[@robwest5457]

Brother CONGRATS

[@rossdixonellis]

I now want to see steve1989mreinfo and Arcus open containers. Arcus "That was a good Psst." Steve : "Nice hiss" That's not too much to ask right?

[@fil665]

Congrats on the PB!

[@OldieWan]

Who else wishes they could go back in time back to the 80's with all this knowledge? Never mind the lotteries or great inventions. We going back in time to blow people away with speed runs!

[@spaceghostpr]

The dedication Arcus has to NES speedrunning is incredible.

[@josepha3805]

Steven Seagal taught Michael Keaton how to be Batman. They actually just followed him around with a camera, then reshot it with Michael & put out the movie

[@Bullitt351]

I came for the clunk, I stayed for the jumping and a squishing

[@mattjennings6706]

"Squishing all the chicken." Amazing.

[@traxler3835]

Great speedrun, some nice squishes here for sure ;)

[@socalgsr1]

Nice . You didn’t do the glitch on stage 4-2 . That’s awesome

[@sade281]

Amazing bro!! I still never beat mario been playing it since 87 !! Shits crazy

[@TheJamison86]

Arcus is so good it makes me want to crap

[@jayeff7900]

We just watched an epic CAS Mario playthrough. Cowboy-Assisted Speedrun.

[@adamsee4144]

What kind of sorcery is this?!?!

[@johnwest8735]

Arcus, show us the secret worlds in Super Mario Bros.

[@erichusayn]

Came for the Mario, stayed for the klunks....

[@jameskm03]

We’re not worthy! Lol Love your vocal time stamps in all these games. “Clonk, clonk, stamp!”

[@sweetjohnny8211]

"Jump banana squishing squishing all the chicken.? Of course, why didn't I think of that?

[@240Sil]

Still my favorite Super Mario Bros.

[@nitramsk8]

This run was immaculate.

I just want to say that this is a challenge on the NWC on the switch.
