How 2 Player Became Mario Odyssey's FASTEST Speedrun Category

[@parazite8470]

It feels so good to watch this! It reminds me how fun the 2P grinding period was! This is a perfect summary of the entire SMO 2P Any% history and I'm honored to be part of it. It feels so good to figure out that you guys managed to show to everyone that 2P is the fastest (and the best) category of the game once again. Thank you for having pushing your PB that low! Huge congrats about your runs you truly deserve it guys!

[@ZackInTheBoxx]

Parazite! Its so cool that you saw this vid; Jambo and I look up to you and Orolme so much. You two have been a huge inspiration through our journey and we're so happy to continue your legacy and show the world how cool 2P is! Feel free to pop into a stream sometime, James and I would both love to chat with you more :)

Genuinely insane, I hope odyssey eventually reaches SM64 levels of fame in terms of speedrunning popularity

[@ZackInTheBoxx]

Me too! It totally deserves it. The top level runners of this game are insane!

[@M4rk_is_Q]

sadly it likely wont, because the top speedrunning category in sm64 (16 stars) is only 15 mins and that catches more people than smo which is 1 hour

Bro, I love your dedication and work in your content, you’re super underrated. Everything, even down to the editing, and… oh the music, it is all stunning and shall not be ignored. I really do praise that you finally get the fame you deserve after posting this video. It’s so nice because I thought you would have a few hundred thousand subs when I first checked, but you only had 999. It broke my heart, but now seeing where you are now really teaches me that if you do strive to be a better person, you will eventually come out on top. I also love that you are dedicated to your people and always look through your comments.Cheers, from your proud 1,000th sub! (Imagine being a little British boy) (jk)

I just wanna say this is by far the most entertaining speedrun documentary video i have watched and that your editing style and way of story telling is really amazing. Definitely my favourite new channel!! (also insane dedication from you and Jambo for this progress on 2p! :3)

[@ZackInTheBoxx]

Wow, thanks! Thats so kind

[@SabirTheHuman]

This is a very cool video. If there is one thing i don't like, it was the short section where words were popping on screen one at a time (I'm probably just nitpicking with this take, it's not really too bad). Other than that one thing, I'd say that this video was a really good video with no obvious problems. Also, congrats to both of you on your achievement! One last thing, I may want to start actually speedrunning soon because of this video. Probably gonna be single player runs though, but who knows.

[@ZackInTheBoxx]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep it in mind next time. So glad you enjoyed and excited to see your speedrun journey!

Less than FOUR MONTHS LATER you get a 55… you guys are genuinely insane, you can push this category much farther than anyone ever thought!

[@NoName-wb1er]

I feel like there is one big mistake on this video. Basically anybody that was a little bit in the Mario Odyssey community knew that 2P player was the fastest category, thanks to faster movement and multasking. But, 2P being extremely hard to run compared to 1P, there really was a period, in fact multiple, where the category wasen't getting pushed. So that's why I respect the effort a lot, and well done for achieving the fastest run of Any%, even if you had to 2v1 an other runner to get the tittle.

[@ZackInTheBoxx]

People definitely know it’s faster but it’s still awesome to see it live up to its potential, and for the wider community to see as well!
