SMG2 has got to be graphically the best looking game on a standard definition console ever.

[@Christopher-md7tf]

I know, right? And at 60fps, too!

[@YoutubePizzer]

one day wii emulation will get to the point where we can speedrun emulations at 1080p

[@bmac4]

Xenoblade for Wii I would argue, minus the character models, but SMG2 is up there for sure.

[@djralyks7200]

KZbin Pizzer dolphin can run smg2 at 4k with custom textures at the moment, check out dolphin. best emulator ever

[@maybeJace]

[@SuperViperT302]

Hello everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the run! I'll admit, the sensor bar issues prevented the run from reaching its full potential, but I still had fun with the run nonetheless, and I'm glad for all the positive feedback I've received so far! If you want to learn more about this game, definitely check out my tutorial playlist (which is on my channel). Also, I run Super Mario 64, Pac 'n Roll Remix, and Mario Kart 64 at high levels as well, so if you're wanting some good variety in speedruns, definitely drop by whenever I'm streaming! I'd really appreciate it! :)

[@nocturnal2802]

I'm interested...

[@skierpage]

One of the best GDQ runs for your explanations and the couch commentary! I've spent more time trying to beat one star than you took for the whole run, and I'm still stuck on 6 of 120 stars.

[@SuperViperT302]

You might not be pleased to know that there's actually 242 stars. :)

[@YoshisaurUnderscore]

Thanks for the great run!

[@LuminousLead]

Not far into the video but those yoshi flutter skips were great!

[@Hypercube1729]

I'm 43 years old. Played every Mario game that is. Love all of them. But Galaxy 2 is my all time favorite, even above Odyssey and SM64. This is the game I've spent most time on. I never knew about speed-runs and these glitches and shortcut you can take. My whole life has been a lie.

How can he sit like that for three hours? Looks so uncomfortable Edit: Dude The Perfect Run gives me heart palpitations just from watching

[@SuperViperT302]

Are you talking about my posture or just sitting while playing a video game for 3 hours? If it's the former, I often sit in a lot of contorted positions that are surprisingly comfortable for me. If it's the latter, endurance is a good thing to have.

[@SacreDynasty]

SuperViper T302 I think he’s referring to how you had your legs crossed for so long

[@SuperViperT302]

@@SacreDynasty I'm just used to sitting like that. I'm somewhat known (at least, at my school) for sitting in postures like that sometimes. Just sitting normally is uncomfortable for me.

[@Symmetry_Obsessed_Freak]

I remember when i was younger and was on the box destroying game i groundpounded and frame perfectly died and had the timer run out and softlocked the game (required soft reset because i couldnt pause since i was dead technically) i thought it was interesting and this was perfect time to share

[@jackmarshall2925]

[@xww6849]

This has very few comments for the number of views it has. Great run, and viper is kind of a delight? I appreciate how much he runs this whole thing.

[@SuperViperT302]

Personally, I felt like a) I talked too much compared to my couch commentators (at least, I talked a lot more than I thought I would) and b) there were some times where I stumbled through commentary or spoke a bit too quickly. Still, I appreciate the kind words and am glad you still enjoyed my presentation all things considered. :)

[@salvulcano9875]

wouldnt it make more sense for the worlds to be called galaxies and the galaxies to be called worlds?

[@TheMurderProductions]

No.

[@jnub]

The worlds should be called universes. The galaxies are fine because they are technically filled with a bunch of planets, thus classifying them as galaxies.

[@Victoria-ff9lv]

I thought each galaxy should be a system (solar system) then worlds be galaxies.

[@weirdchamp4601]

For anyone wondering, the Yoshi tech is EXTREMELY hard to do, I spent probably an hour on it one time and it barely got the hang of it

[@SuperViperT302]

The rhythm eventually becomes muscle memory once you do it for long enough. I've infinite fluttered for about 17 minutes straight before.

[@reflex9238]

This is years old, but the bottom comment is right on the money. It took me like 1 week to get good enough to where I can do Browser with Yoshi. Once you practice long enough, it really becomes muscle memory and I did it lot to skip some parts and just because it became so much fun to do.

[@jasonandrews1770]

This game always confused the hell out of me as a kid. It says its a sequal but instead it retcons the first so you dont meet rosalina but then you still meet her at the end. Better game but worse story

[@TerrorOfTalos]

​@@theplinko9840 Why? Gameplay wise it's obviously superior, I mean galaxy 1 had good levels but it just mostly spectacle and planet hopping while 2 has more emphasis on actual platforming with all around more challenge to it, not to mention the first time yoshi is actually used properly in a 3D Mario game and add on actual content for getting all the stars and even a better co-op system and there's a better game in galaxy 2. Can't see how anyone would think galaxy 1 is better than galaxy 2 gameplay wise lmao must be nostalgia or something.

[@derangeddonald6779]

Also 2 is less visually pleasing. I preferred the outer space background to the sky

[@anjoliebarrios8906]

Galaxy 2 is better though. The level design is much more creative, the level themes are much more distinctive, the gameplay mechanics are more refined, and the new power-ups add much more variety. Galaxy 1 is great but Galaxy 2 is where they perfected the formula. Sure, Galaxy 1 has a nice story and great atmosphere, but Galaxy 2 wins in gameplay.
