This Mario 3 Speedrun Breaks the Game (100% Goomba Shoe TAS)

Take your like, you monster. 🤣

Don't we all do it normally if we make it to the second shoe goomba without getting hit, every time we play that level?

I love the editing, Mitch. Whoever edits your videos deserves praise. The part when you get up to get a soda and the edit highlights weird shit happening in the game and shows your empty chair is so much fun, and I also was tickled by that mild smattering of applause when you made your P-speed joke near the end.

[@substandardnerd]

As far as I know, the reason the shoe changes color is that the NES could only load 3 color palates at a time, which means that the shoe is forced to use one of the available palates.

[@titanium151]

It's fashion

[@DavidWonn]

As the person who found debug mode originally, it is neat to see Kuribo's Shoe properly rendered in stages where it normally isn't when debug mode is active. This is likely why it is taking on unusual colors. Typically the shoe changes to rather odd sprites unless a level happens to have specific enemies (e.g. a Buzzy Beetle and/or a red Spiny.)

[@TompaA]

This was a surprising comment and a blast from the past! Long-overdue thanks for your site, used to look there all the time! Lord Tom made the romhack I was using, I'm not sure exactly what he modified. I also did an older Boot TAS where I instead got the Boot by simply changing the value of the memory address for being inside it, indeed causing the effect you mentioned. I did find it quite amusing however!

[@PierceArner]

Really glad that this TAS exists. It was an absolute blast to watch!

[@Batmannerz]

I really enjoyed it, but Mitch pointed out something in the beginning that got me thinking: If you can shoot fireballs from the shoe, you can also throw hammers if you had the suit... And I really wonder how that would look.

[@BearInThaWoods]

Ive always called a midair jump off a ledge a "Donky Kong" jump because of how you can do it in the DKC games. Seems to be a similar concept here where you bounce off a ledge you are considered airborn but havent jumped, so you get your jump while in that state. The boot is such an interesting mechanic thats only used in a very limited set of levels. I also love the fact that ita color changes so frequently as its being swapped via the pallet changes.

[@kevv95]

9:31 I love how the plant is equally surprised

[@just_peace]

These impractical TAS runs are amazing, Tompa's great at these. Honestly, I'd love to see some full on (100% maybe?) TAS runs that are bad in the sense of speedrunning but show a lot of weird and complicated clips and mechanics just to show them off. Kinda like what Tompa did in 7-9 in the frog suit run with the intentional lag frames, but to a bigger extreme and throughout the whole run. I feel like that'd make a great video, Mitch explaining half the stuff and the creator of the TAS explaining the other half in the chat 🤣

[@Imozart0341I]

How could they just forget about the Goomba shoe in future Mario installments? Who ever designed the enemies love Goombas

[@iiiiiifggffggffgfgfg]

It is too powerful to be used ever again

[@zch7491]

The visible confusion on mitch's face throughout this run 😂

[@burnum]

This run is just "I didn't know you could do that!"

[@Sonicgott]

This whole run is a love letter to my childhood. ❤

[@Loneman1]

Ok that was really awesome! I wanted to do this myself years ago after learning about that game genie "debug" code that could start you with all kinds of stuff like starting in the boot. I love these kinds of speedruns showing things in games you normally don't see!

[@Kevinus_Musicus]

This run is badass. Like you said, this is definitely something I've always wanted to see.

[@aedenoleary]

I'm just wondering, do have alts called TriforceOfWisdom_ and TriforceOfPower_ ?

[@beauvogames]

It kind of reminds me of the roll-jump from the Donkey Kong Country games where if you roll off an edge, your jump is still preserved and you can do a jump in mid-air 😊

[@stapler942]

During the tank stage where Mitch was making those high pitched "oooow" sounds, in an uncanny coincidence my cat was whining and making those same sounds. XD

[@Zero_Narrative]

Tompa you a sweaty legend man....I love this channel soo much

[@ArturikGDL]

Goomba's shoe has the same mechanic from Rattly (the snake buddy) from DKC2. They can jump after they left walking the edge of a platform.

[@DavidsD00MedReport]

Tompa is a bloody lunatic mad genius lol This was top

[@av8tion]

just had to 'boot' up this speedrun.... didn't you?

[@General12th]

Hi Mitch! I still love Tompa's comments being edited onto the screen whenever you ask a question. Also, this TAS fellow is pretty great!

[@ChronosAnJill]

this was fun to watch on stream there were some real monkaS moments with that double jump not gonna lie

[@GamerGee]

3:24 the laugh is on beat

[@PhoticsTV]

31:22 - Turdquoise 😄 Funny video, but that part was especially entertaining. You just ruined a color. I hope you're happy with yourself. 😆

[@JakeRazorClawson]

Always wondered why the shoe was not made available for more use in original game, perhaps because lots of the levels would be way too easy. Particularly like the bright red variety, looks as if mario is in a xmas stocking. Definitely one of the best and essential TAS experiments 💚

[@frederikhansen3813]

Love your vids Mitch!

[@miguelo7478]

It was very fun to watch even when It was the same old smb3. That goomba shoe give It a new taste 😂👍

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I so wish the Kuriboot was more than a one-level gimmick, and horribly underrepresented. Tompa did a good thing with this.

[@lbdjthethird1240]

Commentary Mitch is a fantastic alternate version of Mitch. 🤘

[@stockicide]

Always wondered what it would be like to use the shoe in more levels. Great TAS!

[@grantstevensbreak]

Don’t criticize someone else until you’ve walked a mile in his goomba shoe.

[@wschmrdr]

I've seen TAS die before... ...to get hammer in an old warpless run.

[@TompaA]

Indeed! Back when it wasn't thought of to have them stuck together. In my Mini Kaizo TAS, I had to die in order to respawn a big ? Block.

[@AlligatorArms]

This was awesome. & if I remember correctly, the 1-up in 6-3, and the vine in 6-10 is all white, just like the goomba shoe when playing those levels. So if the shoe matches the color of all the Koopa bosses, the 1-ups & vines would probably be that color too. Now I want to put a 1-up in the world 2 boss room just to see a sick looking silver 1-up. Sadly, nobody puts blocks in boss rooms of romhacks because the graphics will not display properly without some advanced level hacking. But the 1-up should look okay in there because it’s a sprite.

[@OrbisAetherum]

I believe, don't quote me, that the Goomba Shoe can stomp anything a statue stomp can.

[@TompaA]

Correct!

[@OrbisAetherum]

i used to sometimes die on the shoe level so i could play it twice haha this is great

[@kylerivera3470]

Ok, but can you wear the goomba shoe while you have the frog suit?

[@vvlaze]

I think I only learned the proper name of the shoe because it was present in a fangame, Super Mario Bros X, along with two other shoes. A red one that bounced on lava called “Podoboo’s Shoe” and a blue one that flew called “Lakitu’s Shoe.” Pretty sure that was also how I learned Podoboo’s name too.

[@ParodyKnaveBob]

Didn't have the instruction manuals for SMB or SMB3? $:^ }

[@patrckhh20]

The year is 2023. You've wanted to see the goomba shoe in more levels since 1988. Now here we are.

[@chrisoneal2718]

I’ll put myself in your shoes! 😂😂

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

You know, a powerup that just let you keep normal non-underwater physics in underwater worlds would be frigging cool.

[@Mahaveez]

The SMB3 cart I had growing up was Left Bros, so I thought everyone else calling it something other than Kuribo's Shoe was some Mandela Effect going on.

[@dmorley100]

@6:35 I saw a video a few days ago that showed what all could be stomped with the Goomba shoe, and the video showed that the angry sun could in fact be stomped with the Goomba shoe, but it has a VERY small hit box that has to be hit JUST right.

[@SheepStar8]

You sure it's not just in Mario Maker 2? SMB3 has different physics.

[@dmorley100]

@@SheepStar8 yeah, I found the video I referenced in my original comment, and it is in fact SMB3, but I went back and rewatched it, and the video does NOT show the angry sun being stomped with the Goomba shoe. I think what happened was I somehow got the angry sun and the lotus flower things that are in the underwater levels mixed up in my memory. That was my bad.

[@jedileroy8214]

Best accessorised tas of all time

[@RedStoneMatt]

Here's a fun obscure fact: in the french dub of the SMB3 cartoon, they call the goomba shoes "bottes de kuribo" even though goombas are indeed called goombas in french! I don't know it this mistake also exists in the english dub though (Koopatlings' names are correct in the french dub though, they match the games unlike in the english dub)

[@Arz2003]

I wasn't aware the goomba shoe could defeat the waffle

[@Kaitri]

all the colors of the goomba shoe are actually really interesting lol

[@FlameKoRn]

Great video as always Mitch. Tompa ty for trying out the TAS Question: Is it possible to do the same clips you did without TAS? Would there be more lvls you need to skip?

[@TompaA]

The hardest clips are the block clips used in 8-F and Bowser's Castle, they are indeed quite difficult to do. In BC it's just a timesaver, but you are required to do it in 8-F to be able to beat this category at all. The P-Speed corner clip in like 6-F3 are practically impossible to do RTA, as P-speed is too difficult to acquire.

If there's not a speedrunner named Goo Mah Shoe there really needs to be.

[@JMLRetroRoom]

The Goomba Shoe needs to be a useable kart in Mario Kart.

[@electrollama2127]

It took me until halfway through to realize the jumps occasionally make a jump sound but normally not. I assume it's related to turn-backs.

[@TompaA]

I get the jump sound when I jump from the ground, and I only stay on the ground for one frame while moving forward, so it's fairly rare.

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

Just killed 5 lights by jumping on one

[@tonynussbaum]
