Super Mario Land's Brief Speedrun History

[@Storster]

Hope everyone enjoyed! Please check out both AdamFerrari64 and Larvistar who helped out majorly. Their links are below. I also want to give a shoutout to the multiple artists who allowed me to use their music. All their links are below too! Little reminder that I do other stuff outside of this! I do speedruns on twitch too at www.twitch.tv/storster/ Currently going for under 5 minutes in Super Mario Bros. I also have a community discord too! discord.com/invite/ysJ7KdN

*Superball Flower... You accidentally said "Fire Flower" every time. www.mariowiki.com/Superball_Flower (Just feels weird to do this much research, but get that fact wrong every single time...)

[@leadingauctions8440]

Is it possible to stream Original Atari Games?

[@Storster]

@@K-C-D-A I will fully admit i did do that. A few runners in the past have interchangeably used fireflower so it must have stuck for me.

[@Storster]

@@leadingauctions8440 if you have the right setup you can stream atari consoles. I don't have actual atari consoles besides some of those weird plug and plays. I dont know if I'll ever touch atari much in the future.

This is the first game I’ve ever played in my entire life, introduced to me by my mother over twenty years ago. She passed away this August. Today is her birthday. Thank you mom for introducing me to video games. They have been one of the most important things to me all because of you. I’m not good at them but they help me so much with dealing with life by providing me with an escape from it. Thank you so much. I love you.

[@AM_-wg1hj]

I saw some speedruns before from this game and what I really like about the game is the music :) I just love the music.

[@blakfloyd]

Me too! 1990 was the best year of my life. I know this came out in '89 but we got our Gameboy for Christmas that year and I don't think we got SML for a few more weeks.

[@TibbyII]

Same. The main theme is really catchy.

[@honjon666]

No question

[@antonikurek1787]

Music is good

[@RaycrowX]

Played it as a kid and can confirm the music is top-tier!

adding this to my sick playlist of super mario speedrunning videos, i didn’t think anyone would have done one on super mario land! looking forward to watching this one later

[@notvalk5475]

This is a cool video and your channel been growing because of Mario topics

[@ToyokaX]

Your channel is criminally underrated. Loving the content! Another one to add on to the list of speedrun history channels :)

[@jacobcain9008]

Im glad to see more and more people covering speedrun histories of games. I cant wait to see your channel grow!

[@Chris-mc2dt]

18:01 Can’t believe he even beat the game with that *vile* palette, let alone wr

[@AdamFerrari64]

That was my only ever attempt on that palette. Ever. It was ONE ATTEMPT for a friend haha !

[@matthewg7228]

SML is such a weird game, but it is so full of charm

[@notvalk5475]

About Adamferrari64 I watch him on twitch and me watching this video made me start watching him!

[@keenanlarsen1639]

I had this game as a kid and I was always frustrated by the fact that getting a game over meant you had to restart the entire game. I eventually beat it, but it took quite a while. Edit: I was interested to learn about the bonus game RNG and how it affects the run

[@QuestionYourWorld]

I remember this game. Haven't seen gameplay since I was 4. I miss my old gameboy. I remember watching my older brother beat it first, which taught me how to beat it. That game took us all afternoon.

[@KonaSuba]

Watching your videos again because they are great

[@somespeedrunner]

Amazing job! I have been hoping Summoning Salt to pick up SML over the next few years for one of his videos but eventually you already made my day.

[@michaelhackman3195]

Was waiting for that summoning salt tune to kick in :P this was awesome! Nice work

[@AdamFerrari64]

Excited for this video! Good to see love given to this speedrun. It’s a grind for sure! - AdamFerrari64

I love speedrunning, I don't know if I want to be a runner myself, but these videos are such a joy to watch. Can't wait for your next one.😁👍

[@nogoat]

I may not be able to catch it live, but I'll make sure to watch it later. Love the content, Pat.

20:33 I like that ending, instead of "don't hold your breath" it's "you can hold your breath, it's gonna happen that quickly"

[@anandsuralkar2947]

Hi

[@jamesaitchison9478]

Interesting speedrun video. Just stumbled across your channel and i love it. I enjoy watching speedrun videos, having watched a good few on Karl Jobst and Summoning Salt's channels. Glad i found your channel too 👍

[@thealarm7057]

1 minute in and giving off that real SummoningSalt vibe, well done sir, well done.

[@callumbal]

I enjoyed this a lot, thanks for all the amazing content lately!

[@Storster]

Thank you for your speedrun contributions. Your document helped a lot with this video!

[@raiccoon13]

Congrats for the sick runs in this game :)

[@JustJamesNotJerry]

I’ve done a few speedruns of this game for fun as a kid, I think my all time best time was somewhere around 13-14 minutes, which I’m proud of since I’m not a professional speedrunner.

[@minirop]

Just found that video. So I went to speedruncom to check. 12:21. I love how consistent are speedrunners to fail their guess at the limit. (except for games like Dragster and maybe SMB1)

[@thecjwolfpack]

I learned a lot from this video. I barely knew this game existed. It's cool to see avid communities for things I've only recently discovered.

[@MeesterTweester]

Great video! Super Mario Land was the first Super Mario game I had and I finally beat it in December.

[@sagacious03]

Great video! Thanks for uploading!

[@JackKlompus13]

I've never played this. In fact, I legit forgot this game existed.

[@wezzard]

I use to play this game a lot when it came out, Thanks for making this video !

[@CelticShae]

Well done! Well done! Really enjoyed this.

[@guillaumechau6082]

this video NEEDS more views!

[@bunnybreaker]

Awesome to see this. This was one of the first games I ever owned that wasn't those awful Tiger electronics ones.

[@eip2524]

nice movie XD

[@KonaSuba]

This channel is great

[@ArtrixCullingblade]

this is awesome. good job!

[@LonesomeDevil]

Great video! I know a lot people in the comments are comparing you to Summoning Salt, but let's be realistic here... a single man/channel can't possibly cover every single speedrun history by himself. I just see it as someone else willing to put in the hard work to give us good content!

[@ShapeCubed]

Great job and video pat :3

[@HonkeyKongLive]

Man I'm glad I found this channel

[@cirkusbizarre]

Nice one! Keep up the good work!

[@shakennotstirred3564]

This is one of my favorite games on the game boy, I’m so happy SOMEBODY is making a video on it. Thank you!

[@9nrstar]

Great content again man

[@raiccoon13]

Looking forward to a Super Mario Land 2 Video as well since I played this game myself for a long time :)

[@kingofcrap4414]

Honestly, I'm just vibing to the groovy music you picked out.

[@TehJellyLord]

Visually, Mario Land speed runs look very similar to the Super Mario Bros runs, just on a surface level. On a side note, I enjoy the Super Mario Bros 1/Super Mario Land 1 kind of 2D Mario game above all other 2D Mario’s, I guess I’m just a simple kinda guy. Being able to see all the level design has to offer without things hiding off screen makes these games more enjoyable for me. That plus the level design being made to run through nonstop makes them a lot more fun to me than the other games in their respective series. You can’t really do that in other games, playing casually, cuz Mario takes up a lot more of the screen and you don’t get a good view on the level around you.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I used to speedrun this game LONG before I knew what speedrunning was. I have NO idea what my times were, but I'm sure they were not impressive. I had an original gameboy and this was one of my few games.

[@redyoshi793]

i'm glad i recently discovered this channel

[@ning3669]

god i haven’t played this game in like 20 years. loved wasting my time as a kid playing this. cool & good video!!!!

interesting video, thanks!

Man, I loved Super Mario Land. Played it a ton back in the day. I even beat it a few times lol.

Why does the 12 in 2012 at 3:51 sound so off? Is that just me?

I love that Game, brings back memories. I’d love to play it in Color - also the goombas look adorable

[@nextkestrel]

yooo let’s go can’t wait to watch this tn

[@sharpkidthugga7980]

How did you manage to keep my interest for 21 minutes about a game I’ve never played? magic. I guess.

[@Storster]

I have the secret spells!

[@HighPriestFuneral]

You could have probably beat the game in the time it took to watch the video. It's a relic of its time, but it's still a good time.

[@duffman18]

Yeah you really should play it. It's pretty damn fun.

[@Spacecadet2]

Great video on one of the first games I ever played, btw, there are no fire flowers in this weird game

[@StepBaum]

awesome video :]

[@BigTrees4ever]

That’s not true that the only way to record an unmodified gameboy is use a camera. Theresa someone on Etsy who makes and sells a cartridge which you put your game cartridge into and put the whole thing in your gameboy, and it has an out to stream video.

[@flyingtomato98]

Many speedruns have historically been disqualified for not using brand name devices, ie, if you are playing a Nintendo game then it has to be on a console made by Nintendo with no other alterations. Hence why they say the only way is with a camera or with a game boy player that you can hook up a capture card to. There unfortunately arent many wires that can connect a game boy to a computer.

[@HonorinTreason]

Just finished this game recently. Really fun, but would tough to speed run.

[@jgowdey]

This game rules. I still have a soft spot for it after all these years, one of the first I ever owned. Really nice work man, this was awesome to watch and those music picks were hype! Got a sub from me \0/

[@user-dx5wm1uz9d]

youtube glitched out for me and it showed the video lenght as 0:27 and that was really funny

[@xPandamon]

This is the one Mario game that could benefit heavily from a remake. It's so unique nothing comes close :)

[@jezierskioliwier2212]

Have you forgot that this game had a sequel?

[@xPandamon]

@@jezierskioliwier2212 It does but it is very different. Also, I'd like to see a remake because the first game was very weird, with super messy physics

[@jezierskioliwier2212]

@@xPandamon ok, I get where you are going Imagine challange packs similar to nsmb 2, or a side mode with different power ups

8:30 It's not a Fire Flower, it's a Superball Flower.

[@caiolopezcomz]

Great video! Really like your style of making these docs. Faster, straight to the point. Much as i love summoning salt, I'm growing tired of the montages and the aways the same music. Now, l'd only suggest you to get a professional-level voice recording. Not that the current capture sucks, by any means, but you can do better.

[@muffin_the_metalhead3488]

i saw that there was a Mario Superstar Baseball speedrun category. what

[@astolbro7183]

If its a mario game some moron will run it I bet theres some idiot trying to speedrun the mario kart app

I want also a speedrun history of Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

[@DaVince21]

Ah yes, a brief 20 minutes of speedrun history. :P

[@phishphan49]

hey dude - these speedrun docs are super well done - very much appreciate the obvious effort & your knowledge of the games you cover, you'll be at 100k in no time with content like this - the algo brought me here via recommended & wild you're under 5k subs still - good luck man & thanks for the interesting vids

Hey, just wanted to say I’ve been subbed since you were under 700. I really love the direction your channel is going. Also, we know each other via aterraformer right?

Why are glitched runs added along with non-glitched runs in Any%?

This game doesn't actually have a fire flower. It's called a "Super Ball Flower". It makes Mario shoot super balls I guess.
