TOOBOU: Mario Sunshine's Unstoppable Speedrunner

[@AverageTreyVG]

June 9th, 2024 Toobou gets the first 1:12 with a 1:12:58 Das why he's the GOAT

[@cerespluto3317]

THE GOATTT

[@zacbonsai586]

Goat

[@YellowSkarmory]

MY GOAT TOOBOU

[@jigjester88]

Toobou is an anomaly

[@ProfessorPlusGut]

When you search for "goat" in the dictionary, it just says トーボウ

[@TheStylishSpy]

It's insane watching someone as good as toubou just push past the mental barriers and keep surprising us!

[@Amys_w0rld._]

When the first 1:12 happens, I think a long video analyzing the run would do WONDERS

[@DanielStromlandGuitar]

Me when the thing I say happens

[@Behemoth7637]

TOOBOU FINALLY DID IT! 1:12:58 ACHIEVED TODAY! The race for 1:12 is over, we can all rejoice this legendary achievement!

[@ScottE-2]

It's amazing to have had a look into the legend himself. Special thanks to Wilco for translating Japanese into English, it was quite an interesting insight into the mind of the unstoppable force of TOOBOU. The editing was phenomenal and a real step up from the previous.

Mad props to toobou, one of the SMS GOATs in my book. I feel like i've been running for a long ass time sometimes, but then you take a look at someone like him and realize.. If there's a will there's a way. Great video Trey

[@Invictyn]

I enjoy your Spyro videos.😁

[@hterramae]

18:19 "only one thought ran through Toubou's head" "...... 天才！ :D" Loved the confidence haha

[@OneWholeFrog]

I just wanna give props to the shortest yet most complete explanation of a TAS that I’ve ever heard you gave around 1:40

[@CodyBones004]

I'm so proud of him for getting the record, you for making the video, and for my extremely minor contribution

[@MarioSMG64]

Ever since your WR history video... six years ago (how'd I get so old), I've loved occasionally checking in on the leaderboards and still seeing Toobou near/at the top.

[@portalfreak7628]

6:02 >calling Portal "retro" Wow, thanks for making me feel like I'm already in my 70s lmao

[@Inkstar]

Toobou is such a legend

[@danielhoffmann1604]

This was a brilliant video and touboo is a legend! Super thankful you and he could collab on this, thanks for the content!

Your editing is unmatched omg, the song choices, storytelling… please don’t ever stop 💕

[@flyingmonkeys14]

This dude is better with his feet than I am with my hands...

[@Kosmicd12]

the ~ 3:55 compilation was really sick. Nice work all around Trey

[@denisefrenette9206]

It’s crazy Toobou just got world record yesterday with a 1:1305.49 time beating world record by 2 seconds. He really is just the GOAT of super Mario Sunshine

[@samir_5481]

Now he got the first 1:12

[@healthyminds9279]

I love this so much. Whether it's gaming or sports, I always root for the older veterans. Having everything in competition being about youngsters constantly replacing older veterans gets a little repetitive. These success stories are the best.

[@RabbitEarsCh]

I actually screamed out loud at the transition at 3:29. That was so slick!!!! Then the music matching the records, you're just SO good. The TAS and RNG graphics are sick, the oranges flying everywhere are sick... Every new video is somehow even better edited than the last. You're cracked. You're so cracked, and you're making this story so engaging and so exciting. Absolute legend.

[@ianmoore5502]

Busted visionary skills😊

[@ladymoragsbootlaces8059]

I just wanna say thank you for always including subtitles on your videos! I appreciate any video that does it, and with how much I've been really enjoying comfort-binging your videos lately, the subtitles being there has heightened my enjoyment of them all that much more :]

[@sajanramanathan]

I remember looking at the speedrun leaderboard recently and wondering how the hell toobou was still this good, it’s like you read my mind! Great video

[@Notester82]

Excellent overview of Toobou's journey! :D Even as someone who doesn't speedrun Super Mario Sunshine, your explanations and overall video structure makes for a fun and informative watch!

[@sawayoshisy]

17:21 「二度と俺の目の前に現れないでくれ」は草w amazing video, insane how toobou's been able to keep up for 13 entire years, even running sunshine in MULTIPLE major speedrun events with any% in 2019, 120 in 2022, and any% again right during the wr grind in 2023! here's to plentiful 1:13s and hopefully the eventual insane goal of 1:12 :D

[@HoneySonya]

What an absolute legend, going this long and staying at the top takes some serious mental fortitude.

[@Aldar21]

Hello everyone, I have a small announcement. Just a few days ago (Jun 21), Toobou uploaded , on Twitter (X), a post about his PB History in Any% This post shows ALL of his PBs, not just the WRs. He even remembers what times he achieved before his 1:34:50 in 2011. Its very likely that some of the old PBs were WRs , like the 1:34:58. They dont have video proof, but this is getting close to an accurate WR timeline in early 2011. So, if someone wants to make an any% history once again, this post on twitter is an excellent tool to use.

[@PhiDX]

Every time I come back to your videos I always have a great time. The editing was so sick in this one too

[@fech8763]

Another great vid trey, always glad to see an upload from you. Happy to see someone making quality sms content :)

[@ghostgoul007]

And now he just took the world record back today. My goodness he just never stops being amazing.

[@Jayceeblaster]

My man, another great video. The editing took a huge leap this time around IMO, and your sense of humor really... shines.

[@Shojikinaai]

Still the most hype speedrunning scene to follow by miles

[@bassguitarbill]

Trey your editing is absolutely cracked, this video was so enjoyable to watch

[@Zanaro97]

17:00 the music change was fantastic. Made that angle feel so much more impressive than itnalready was

[@Techstrobe]

toobou getting wr in 2023 is just like tiger woods winning the masters in 2019, crazy shizzzz.

[@GamerSquiddy]

when i saw batora come up i knew what we were in for with toobou! no matter what crazy strats get implemented, he always gets on it and masters it like nobody's business. it seems the same with toobou, something about doing it for so long really is special. amazing video as always trey, looking forward to more doot as well!

[@metathpr4h290]

Toobou really looks like a very likeable guy, I hope he can reach the 1:12 dream someday. Thanks a lot for the banger video, there are few things I love more than a well explained video with great comedy and editing 😌👍

[@jsande2515]

I just love the speed running community. All genuinely good people from the people/games I’ve watched. Super humble. Love the content as always Trey.

[@TobyvUltima]

Very awesome to being able to see what goes into the mind of one of these amazing SMS speedrunners! Seeing Toobou STILL pushing himself beyond his limit and still adapting new strategys is very impressive. Looking forward to potentially seeing 1:12 become a reality, will also be on the look out for a video following up with that I'd imagine! Watching this really gives me the urge to go back and try to learn the any% speedrun for SMS sometime soon, seeing as it's my favorite Mario game with the most fun movement imo.

[@elipison]

Great video! Toobou is a legend. Have you thought about making an updated history of any%? Your first video is great but I’d love to know what changed to go from high 1:14 to where it is now

[@AverageTreyVG]

I mean, this is basically it lol. Toobou's story is probably the most interesting of any runner, otherwise the records have just been slight improvements to Nindiddeh.

[@elipison]

@@AverageTreyVG gotcha

[@taptiotrevizo9415]

​@AverageTreyVG I mean over a minute in time saves is pretty substantial

[@EatCheese11]

Guy was and is the best speedrunner of this game

[@lexikiq]

God, nobody does it like Trey, and nobody dominates like Toobou. Another incredible video as always

[@Lord_Spacecake]

Always happy to see more Super Mario Sunshine content, thank you for your efforts in keeping us up to date on the speedrunnning scene!

[@brycegriffin9271]

I must shout-out AverageTrey's lesser known alt account BelowAverageTrey and the SMS Kaizo series going on there. Incredibly entertaining and if you like his content here you'll definitely enjoy it.

[@TheDario64]

That Soulcalibur II OST did not go unnoticed. Sick video, your editing is getting wild

[@Deathline]

I had a conversation with someone that started watching Sunshine runs in the modern era and thought I was crazy when I told them Toobou could realistically get WR or a 1:12 (before his timely WR). As someone who picked up Sunshine in late 2013, Toobou will always be one of my favorite players to watch over the years. Toobou is eternal!

[@swww]

Just 6 seconds away now

[@PhoenixianThe]

Only in Average Trey and the SMS speedrun community would I ever expect to see a video such as this. Your dedication to showcasing and highlighting each others' accomplishments and history and deep sense of community remains as palpable as ever.

[@iwabi74]

Great video!! I know how difficult it is for speedrunners to keep top place for so many years. Toobou is absolutely legend.

[@shoutplenty]

you too :3

[@Chockrit]

It's me, I'm Mr Peter Piranha 14:17 Great vid. Toobou is hilarious

[@dodalk]

Amazing video, had a blast watching it the whole time

[@femkeyt2635]

Man, seeing an old school player still competing at the top level is always amazing to see. Also, these videos are so good, you're like the SummoningSalt of SMS lol. Love your video editing too.

[@Brandon34300]

Somehow I missed this one when it came out, it was a great video! Decided to check out the leaderboard to see how the 1:12 progress was going for the community since this was uploaded… and of course Toobou has once again taken the record, and only 5 days ago too! Huge congrats to him, nothing cooler than seeing someone with so much history in a game still able to compete with, and even beat the best! He’s got the record down to within seconds of 1:12, and it’d be really cool to see him be the one to break that barrier. The only thing that would top that will be when veteran speedrunner AverageGeriatricTrey gets the first sub one hour Sunshine world record in 2082.

[@swww]

he did

[@JakeRileyDavies]

The man, the myth, the legend Watched Toobou for years, he is a machine I swear

[@warspyking]

Remarkable that you got through this video without talking about guy's load advantage or the 1:13:26 new file wr toobou set nearly immediately after he got his 1:13:17. Toobou is a legend, and when he gets 1:12 (and yes I said when), it will be the cleanest and most well rounded WR this game has ever seen. A testament to his consistency.

[@brycedaugherty9211]

This comment aged very well!

[@Cordellium]

An aspirational tale to be sure. Thanks for making this Trey and Toobou for being an inspiration.

[@jensenvonjensen]

such a great video...watchnig sms over the years Toobou was always such an unknown beast. so cool to learn a little more about him

[@koopanique]

I love these videos! Great commentary and editing! Also the music at 3:10 is from Soul Calibur 2, great GameCube-era track!

[@artbabbit900]

I love the ways you've been experimenting with your video making! This video is fantastic, both visually and with your writing, and it really adds to the experience of watching it. Keep up the great work! :)

Thanks so much for this vid! I'm a fairly casual SMS speedrun viewer, so it's nice to have a little more context on the skill and fortitude on display.

[@maxrichards5925]

It’s insane how good he still is in SMS. Also he can play with his feet! I feel like that’s just as hard if not harder than playing blindfolded!

[@LeoMK01]

Your videos are a blessing, with masterpiece level of editing with such interesting history about a legendary player and very neat explanations. Thank you SMS community.

[@adsr5863]

I would absolutely love to see your reaction to Zelpikukirby's 120 shines TAS. I know I'm late to the party, but I'd love to hear your explanation of the tricks done and the routing history for this TAS, as I feel it won't be beat for a long time

Great video Trey! Toobou is such a legend his latest WR grind was a blast, more or less having wr pace every session into King Boo. Would love to see an extended video about Guy, hes truly the GOAT of sms speedrunning and if all that drama didnt occured Im sure he would have pushed into 1.12 already

[@Real_Artician]

Freaking sweet, a new longer video. Work is slightly less boring now.

[@-sk8-437]

The editing and voice-over has improved so much Trey.

[@RobertMcKinnonMainChannel]

this was so awesome!!! toobou's such an insightful guy, it's inspiring to see dedication pay off in a world with so many prodigies xD it's really fun to look at top players and see what makes them work, and a lot of players don't really know sometimes, it's hard to compare to the rest of the competition. but i think toobou really has this stuff figured out, more than most people at least, in the grand scheme everyone is always very lost xD sorry if that didn't make any sense, but it was a really interesting video!! and i really really love your style of videos, i need to watch more, keep it up you're the best trey :D

[@will202X]

Thank you Trey for telling the stories of this amazing community!! Sunshine forever
