Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels by GameJ06 in

[@rosalind9952]

This guy understands that speedrunning is a form of entertainment.

[@nintendude6477]

I read this entire thread while waiting for the run to start because it was getting so tense I didn't want to stop reading. I can't believe I found this so interesting.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

For sure! Highly enjoyable run!

[@ternel]

Big Jon is more of a hero than most people know. He had shoulder surgery and flew against medical advice to attend this event. Good run and always like his up beat attitude. Everyone needs to check out his stream.

[@OmegaOmni1]

+Ternel He's one of the members on the Wigglers. When he's on his other teammate's channels, he is a great guy to chat with.

[@marshallh6956]

Where is his stream?

[@questimegaming]

OMG man of the year ! Such a hero saved countries with his heroism ...

[@1AlasBabylon]

The very, very rare combination of great runner, great couch, AND great announcer. What a gem.

[@tenorsaxophone2012]

Scott Rivers happens once every thousand years.

[@jotarokujojoester6294]

This ones a special one

[@yhyperlover]

whos is on the couch

[@IXPrometheusXI]

Oh man I hope they invite this dude back every year.

[@IXPrometheusXI]

+King I like listening to him talk. He's got a great stage presence, so to speak.

[@strongside4565]

Damn Big Jon is great at running and talking simultaneously. I wish he posted KZbin vids.

[@edgemarine1049]

He does Yt Gamejo6

[@roranix2237]

He account its gamejo6

[@jotarokujojoester6294]

Yeah he was really entertaining I enjoyed watching him

[@joshwright7229]

"Any percent is like eating a grilled cheese sandwich and eating only the bread crust...you get none of the gooey filling." greatest analogy for speed running ever!

[@michiganjack1337]

Superb run. Big John is super entertaining. Big ups to that dude.

[@Jackw920]

Would you like a eggroll How about a springroll Would you like a tea Or a pepsi Or maybe we could go to Dairy Queen and get a blizzard or something else.

[@pgj1997]

That was a good poem right there....

[@Jackw920]

+kenneth mabie oops lol

[@mahmudd8280]

at what part was that i wanna see it again

[@mikelawrence1556]

I too watched the video

[@mahmudd8280]

Good for you

[@nicolailinnet8354]

"This is what you all need. Would you like an eggroll? How about a springroll? Would you like a tea? Or a pepsi? Or would you like to go to dairy queen and have a blizzard or something else."

[@therealdeeves]

I was looking for this, thanks

[@ThatHomestar]

Quality run, this is why I watch GDQ's

[@prehistoricfish777]

This guy is so entertaining! I'm Obsessed

[@Timeyy]

Absolutely killed it! Commentary was very entertaining as well, Jon has a lot of charisma!

[@miniroll32]

I remember the first time I played Lost Levels in the early 90s, I probably spent about 3-minutes playing and never returned. This guy makes it look easy; but it is truly troll version of Super Mario Bros.

[@chillsgaming1900]

Henry Jones Jr. Its the inspiration for Kaizo mario

[@franciscoandrada412]

It truly is Troll land. I played through this on MY PHONE! And I somehow managed to beat it

[@samueld8413]

I played this on the Wii and 5 years later I’m stuck on 8-4.

[@Eric-yt7fp]

This guy's the most entertaining, engaging runner I've seen. Love it. Absolutely donating next time around.

[@AzrielPSX]

what a awesome runner ^_^

[@swiggy528]

This is the way speed running should be. It is all about the FUN and the enjoyment. Big John brings me back to why I love video games, and how I used to play them as a kid. He perfectly captures the essence of it all. Much love, great run!

[@NakedEndoskeleton]

Jon speedran both the Famicom and NES version. He's fucking awesome at it and real funny too. He also flew there, as mentioned in another comment, against medical advice, due to a surgery in one of his shoulder. A great guy in speedrunning. Nice to see how he understands that speedrunning is a media of entertainment.

[@thomsencummings8471]

this guy keeps it classy. smooth commentary. smoother playstyle. well placed bits. sharp wit with the couch commentary. if only every run could be so entertaining

[@GeddyRC]

Guy has an awesome personality, really made this an entertaining run!

[@carlantaya175]

I am in love with the this speed runner.

[@gl1tchz]

same

[@jotarokujojoester6294]

Yeah man he was really entertaining I enjoyed I’m quite a lot

[@eckitronix]

This is still amazing to watch, even nearly four years later.

[@CTSchmidlak]

Finally beat Lost Levels for the first time tonight, and had to come back and watch this run again. And man, you crushed this Big Jon. An instant GDQ classic right here.

[@ChesterAsucka]

Egg Roll Anthem: @20:15

[@foxkrystal]

36:43 Luigi is swimming by a katakana word that says, "Arigato" which is their usual 'Thank You' for the Mario games.

[@Koisheep]

why katakana tho

[@FlorianNexuzZ]

@@Koisheep maybe because hiragana characters would be harder to make with blocks?

[@eboone]

“Yeah they have like ground beef, celery, onions, and I’m about to die and what not...” my favorite line in this whole video

[@metalblade8787]

i had a huge smile on my face the entire time. jon really knows how to make a run entertaining

[@JellyForSale]

Best speed runner in personality and commentary ive found thus far

[@firedrake110]

That epic donation read at 37-something, making me eager for some god-tier Mario Golf...

[@Gravetacular]

these are some of the best speedrun runs ever, such great and humoristic energy from the runner and everyone! this is what i look foward to going at these events :)

[@xforbiddenone]

Oh man this guy is just plain awesome to watch. We need more of him for these events.

[@missingno3391]

This guy is GREAT.

[@petrozza7206]

20:18 Christ, that was HILARIOUS, I laught so hard ;D

[@BrasilGT]

One of the funniest speedruns i've ever seen!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

Awesome run! Way to go! Also, super enjoyable commentary from the runner himself. I could watch this all day.

[@denryuu3]

I like to come back and re-watch this one from time to time. Great run!

[@flaplaya]

"Game rewards you for speed".. He was like a speeding bullet through one of the hardest games I've ever played.. Really cool runner and stock in egg rolls is up I just checked.

[@Exzeticloe]

i like how there is a donation ware for picking a baulbasaur name as charizard

[@yeetasaurusrex1682]

I freaking love Big Jon! This man is a hero of the people!

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

17:03 "Don't be scared!" Swag strats

[@KrunemGrimcleaver]

Gotta say this dude was stupid entertaining throughout the run.

[@cardboardu6019]

Super cool runner, people like this make runs like this the best regardless of game

[@theworldaccordingtosamuel1752]

Absolutely love this runner's color commentary.

[@actinid14]

I am watching this from Spain and although I am still in high school, I can understand almost everything Big Jon says, he is very nice and takes time to pronounce each word :)

[@manuelroberts7379]

This is the most amazing runner i was entertained throughout tyvm

[@Shiny_Misty]

Ok, for real, this guy is one of the FUNNIEST runners I have ever watched. So full of energy. Makes me feel bad that I don't like Egg Rolls.

[@clarencejones8180]

its refreshing to see a cool charismatic speedrunner, not all of us can 'relate' to socially awkward introverts. #CoolGeeksStandup

[@legocontrollerjr]

20:16 You're welcome

[@Timtamz]

Thanks!!

[@Ivanka514]

I was looking for this "song", thanks!

[@DeloofTegOrb]

lcjr :(

[@colin458]

8:05

[@GreenTypeShi]

Lmfao

[@morrigancollins2092]

Unquestionably the most entertaining speed runner in the whole event.

[@FourthDerivative]

By far one of the best runs in GDQ history.

[@gtvs3737]

this guy is one of the least serious runners yet he's so much more entertaining

[@ScTiger1311]

8:15

[@NightSprinter]

Do you want an eggroll? Or what about a spring roll? Maybe a cup of boba tea? Maybe get a Diet Pepsi? How about we go to D.Q. if you just wanna go get something else?

[@alexandergoodlander3557]

this is my favorite run of anything ever omg I love this guy

[@trevorwilliams3660]

Hands-Down one of the best speed runs I have seen ProPS✌

[@randommanwill802]

Big Jon is a great speed runner. I thoroughly enjoyed this run.

[@xxSertxx]

This and duckfists bonus stream of FFIII are my favorite speedruns of all time. Entertaining and awesome. Sad not to see either of them this year, but maybe SGDQ

[@zweifox4691]

What the hell? This guy is fucking BRILLIANT! What a skilled and funny speedrunner... keep doin' what you're doin' Big Jon!!!

[@drzoidberg71]

Watched this like 100 times. I love big jon!

[@hellblazerhawk6166]

The runner is a funny guy, this was great to watch!

[@jamiehare7317]

This guy just oozes confidence, coolest guy ever

[@theswapmeetflea]

From the beginning of the run to the end ... *Entertaining as Hell!* 😂👍

[@TheRealKingSatan]

This was one of the most amazing run I’ve seen at gdq

[@NeoArcadiaSWGAT]

Awesome job Big Jon. Funny guy and great player !

[@tommytickle18]

guys, what a time to have the best pot noodle of my life :)

[@Obsidian451]

Oh man, 41:01 to 41:22 was just too perfect.

[@ouroya]

Love to see my favorite streamer in a GDQ (pun intended) run!

[@HermitMoth]

I'm not even in to twitch or speedruns but I watched this whole thing. Damn and I thought this game was supposed to be too hard for America but this guy did it pretty effortlessly

[@monolyth421]

I cant believe Big Jon doesn't know for sure if he's coming back. He should be reading donations.

[@quagzlor]

love this dude, he's so endearing.

[@The0nlyMasterba1ter]

Dudes confidence is top tier

[@jackpivarnik7205]

The Bowser music playing in a regular sky level is what anxiety feels like.

[@Lennyofbassist]

14:34 made me lose my mind from laughing. Probably a lot more than it should have.

[@Vistico93]

I don't think I've ever cursed more at a game I was playing than with this one...

[@SquallyCoin5664]

Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) is basically an officially licensed Super Mario Maker Kaizo World.

[@blahblahgdp]

love the commentary and the info being dropped.

[@Pringerprinny]

This guy is SO charismatic jeez louise

[@wolfpackvisual]

Love the commentary on this one.

[@whysvert]

man, the runner gives off very good vibes, hope he's there too for 2017

[@alexanderstilianov]

The comments are right, this guy is great.

[@CrasyFingers]

anybody plays this game on emulator? i'm playing this on snes9x and it skips the 9th world and goes straight to A-1

[@gamesdonequick]

+Olivier Hache You have to not use any warps to see World 9.

[@Jackw920]

+jipao just, no kid

[@RedstarMarioLantin]

+EPIC CREEPER999 hypocrite

[@OctaHeart]

+RedstarMario's Channel Says the one with a Sonic profile picture, and Mario in their name.

[@RedstarMarioLantin]

Fireork Nation how is that related to anything?

[@bradenmeyer9676]

I love this video thanks for doing something that matters!!

[@doomitlade]

Great guy, very cool and funny run

[@jotarokujojoester6294]

This was a very entertaining stream I had a good time watching this

[@fignewton7968]

This dude is awesome

[@JoshCruiser5JoshH]

20:20 best song ever

[@SchlabbesPTCG]

20:14 for the Eggroll Song!

[@averageo2343]

0:38 I have no idea why that made me laugh so hard when I saw it on the stream.

[@mackhaddock5376]

Guy is so chill...

[@Dethneko]

So if I heard him right, even before Doki Doki Reskin Luigi had a higher jump. So if I heard him right, Luigi takes longer to start up, longer to slow down, jumps higher, and jumps further.

[@Matt561]

I love this guy

[@mapachekamikaze5124]

Dude, trihex and BigJ should do a food talkshow on twitch. I enjoyed the egg roll talk SOOO much.

[@TokyoXtreme]

GameJ06 is the REAL Mario brother.

[@frankrizzo7663]

man this guy playing should be a MLG or whatever announcer n such what a gr8 run and what gr8 ppl ;) keep it going all you guys maybe one day ill figure out a game to speedrun

[@MajorGeneralPanic]

You had me at "hexadecimal"

[@carsonphillips154]

20:16 top notch quality

[@matthewellam9077]

Most enjoyed speed run commentary

[@steel_crescent_archive]

20:19 that was great

[@Vistico93]

I also loved how this game messed with you by making it difficult to get fireballs and then more-likely-than-not, punishing you for doing so. Too many times have I accidentally killed a Koopa Troopa I needed to stomp on to clear a gap. Too many times...

[@Carlitonsp1]

Reuploaded? Why was the original video unlisted?

[@marcos54695]

I was wondering the same thing it seems all videos from sgdq 2015 are being re uploded

[@vladzf9655]

+Carlitonsp1 Audio problems I think

[@Shoefae]

+Carlitonsp1 They've been reuploading the entire stream, to add the endslates and beginnings, fit appropriate interviews to their videos, and fix major audio issues.

[@anakin2065]

Give this man all the egg rolls in the world!
