3 world records in one run, don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. That’s incredible

@@daragh9372 no, the strat is different in for 120 stars and 70. So therefore, he only got the 120 stars, green stars, and 242 stars

Yoshi gets ditched more in this run than in an entire playthrough of Mario World.

I wanted to write this this morning but I simply couldn't find a non-cringy way of saying it so I kinda gave up. However, I do feel like it's important for me to say this: I'm so unbelievably happy you managed to get this and I'm proud you managed to get what might be the greatest achievement in this game's speedrunning history (excluding Nemi sub 3 Keepo). I'm so glad I could experience those last 2 years of improvement with you and I hope you know that despite my constant cancerous behaviour and attempts to try to piss you off, you're really important to me and seeing this kind of stuff get achieved from someone who is close to me online really warms my heart. Even though we're just online friends I'm so glad to know you and I'm so glad to be able to goof around with you and CreepyGar and disconnect from other shit. I can't wait to see what you will achieve next and I hope to still be here with you to see it happen. Cheers!

this is probably the best stream i ever watch, 3 wrs, a lot of viewers, and a lot of spam and gifted subs. Im just glad i was able to watch most of it to the end. congrats man you deserve it :D

How the fuck did you stay focused and keep playing perfectly for NINE HOURS??? I can’t even focus for nine minutes before I start aimlessly running around to get starbits. Mad respect!

[@x0cx102]

wow you and claire are really pushing down the time for this! just checked the records and your times are unbelievabely close and recent! (within the last week of this writing) good luck! :D it's really cool watching you guys do these speedruns

I do NOT remember the Squizzard bossfight whatsoever lmao. I'm around halfway through, this is a really really good run! I'm enjoying watching it

[@DaAlexSeed]

I'm surprised I was able to watch the whole video. I've never finished a 9 hour video before. But great job on the run! I'm not good enough at SMG2 to speedrun it lol

[@daganisoraan]

Lol, it took me about as long as this entire speedrun just to beat the last stage "The Perfect Run".

[@SteTelf]

Nice job bro this is amazing!

This whole time I was watching in awe and cheering you on. Oh and wondering how you can do this is 9 hours and it takes me about 1.5 years lol

[@5en_official]

Well than you’d have one of the lowest speed run times in history of SMG2

[@ThatGuyLucas8080]

after re-looking at this game, I realized yeah, it is the exact same story as the first one but retold in a way.

[@omarly1202]

It's the 10th anniversary for Super Mario Galaxy 2

How did you find the willpower to accomplish this great challenge?! Please tell me!

[@myttydohun4851]

the secret to success is enjoying what you do!

[@potatobearsmo]

Now you need to get Sub 5:50 on your SMG1 Mario 120 Stars. And sub 12 on SMG1 242 Stars, but that's less of a priority.

[@YoshiBroccoli]

i cant imagine sitting down for 9 Whole hours and completing the game Usually I just sit down for 9 hours and get 80 stars

Does anyone else feel like Nintendo designed this game to be played at n64 speed and then, after it was complete, some executive said no, let's make this game run at 0.8 speed to make it easier for the kids? If you don't believe me watch how it sounds and looks when you play this vid at 1.25x speed. It feels normal imo.
