Absolutely. The overlays showing the differences in even small things like the 1-2 strat, along with demonstrations of the best / TAS and worst possible cases alongside the actual run really helped visualize what was going on.
I imagine Bowser having a nervous breakdown as he realizes it's not a question of if Mario will beat him anymore, only a question of how fast and stylish it will be.
I had that long Bowser fall once when I was little and nearly turned off the game thinking it glitched just before the end. Thank you for solving a decades old mystery for me!

Imagine you're playing SMB3 and it's the first time you've made it this far in the game and you've got a good chance if finishing the game and then a hammer bro and a spade game softlock you
Of course he's not a pick up line guy. He doesn't need them. He just informs the ladies he has the Mario 3, 100%, no wrong warp, world record and its in the bag from there...

I got recommended one (1) video from this channel and here I am binging it all. I love the humour of the narration and how detailed and easy to understand it is. I've seen many speed runs and TASes but admittedly not understood much. Seeing the inner workings and getting every Zelda enemy explained is just *chef's kiss*
You are extremely proficient at giving in-depth but easy-to-understand explanations about the mechanics of the game and how they are used during a speedrun. I love this kind of content and wish to see a lot more of it from you, Bismuth.
you should look at the new oot 100% route, that shit is probably the most insane speedrun route i've seen and feel like it'd make for a great explained video
@@joeschmoe5063 More like 5-6 hours. The game is broken into a million pieces when doing a 100% speedrun. The amount of time it would take to explain every little trick would far surpass the amount of time it takes to actually finish the fun. I mean this Mario 3 run took only ~10:40 seconds and this video is over half an hour long.
I think Hammer Brother movement is going to become a HUGE deal in the future. As runners get better and better and that next break point is jjuuuussttt around the corner, I can see a world where if you don't get double one title Hammer Brother the run is just reset. Kind of like how only like 20% of Kosmic's runs get past 1-1
Great video! Also, just so you know, 22:43 in smb1 you don’t need to land on the exact pixel. There’s a 5 pixel window. If you land right on the top pixel of the block, then you can Wall jump, or if you collide with the wall up to 4 more pixels lower, the game will snap you up to the top of the block and you can still WJ. So 5 Y pixels in total.
The thing about speed running is that every “unbreakable barrier” eventually gets broken, either better gameplay or new strategies. I fully believe in the next 2-3 years speed runners will be approaching 10:39
Excluding category, sure. Some categories certainly hit hard walls though due to not allowing certain tricks and glitches. OoT is a great example thereof.
The closest TAS category to this does it in 10:24.340, but it almost certainly involves some time saves that are beyond the human limit. But clearly not all of them are. I think that there will be a barrier hit eventually, unless new techniques are found, but there's definitely room to beat this one.
Eventually sure, but 2-3 years is way too soon. This record was set almost two years ago already and nobody has made a serious attempt to beat it since. And getting to 10:39 will take several new records, each one bringing it down by a small amount. I'd say 10:39 is at least 5 years away at a minimum.
Excellent explanations and visualizations. The wall jump section alone was top notch! So many videos mention sub pixels but none so far have done that good of a job of actually showing the lay viewer how they impact tight jumps like that. Bravo!
this is absolutely incredible. as much as I enjoy summoning salt's speed run explanation videos, this is a delightfully different niche. your explanation of the tricks is superior, and i love how much deeper you can get into a single run than he can on an entire history.
I love that you play the clip as normal before going into the semantics- it's a small detail, but it makes the information so much easier to process! Thanks for another high quality upload my guy ✌
Good lord, it made my day to watch this. It's hard to grasp just how much effort you put into your videos, but I know it's a LOT. So thank you for being such a cool guy and making some stupendous videos for everyone to watch :)
The single best speedrun breakdown I have ever seen. Great job! It really shows all of the angles, I love the shadow marios showing the outcomes of different strats, and the explanation of the odds and mechanics were all really clear. Congrats to the runner and also to the videographer!
The entire time he's interacting with chat and wisecracking...what a legend! And Bismuth gave master-level commentary that was exciting and added to the tension of the challenge. A+++ work!
I had to mow the lawn today even though I really didn't want to, but when I saw a new Bismuth video pop up, it made me motivated to just cut the damn grass so I could watch it afterwards!
@@vkvk3525 Yeah, but then I would feel kinda shitty about myself while watching it, affecting the viewing expirience. If I recall correctly, watching this video after mowing the lawn was like having an orgasm.
Speaking of pickup lines, the funniest one I ever heard was when my friend told a girl way out of his league that if she was a booger he would pick her. I'll never forget the look of disgust on her face as she turned her back on him. I died.
Bismuth's videos always have such fine quality. He also explains things incredibly well so that even a new speedrunner would understand. Keep it up bismuth!😀
I would absolutely love to see a speedrun breakdown of the warpless category. If ever there was a category defined by the capriciousness of random numbers and losing time to General BS, it is the warpless category.
Oh hey my family plays this all the time, we have the old Nintendo Power guides and know where all the items are, my Mom loves to 100% the game, but the rest of our family grabs the first possible warp whistles and skip to World 8.
Such a thorough and meticulously presented video. I don't watch many speedruns (just doing research for my latest Mario video) but this hooked me! - Bitplex :)
"Here Mitch goes for the 'Did you fall from heaven?' line. This is a risky move, but compared to 'Do you come here often?' it has the potential to get the girl's number 0.7 seconds faster if he times it perfectly."
After watching your video about your process for making these videos, there’s an extra level of appreciation for the care and detail you put in to these. Nice work my dude, this was a treat to watch.
Pretty interesting. I don't understand how any human can play like this without making a mistake every once in awhile. But thanks for explaining things. I didn't know much how the Hammer Bros patterns worked, but I do now! LOL
Nice animation additions for comparisons. I remember playing this game back in the day and finishing. Thank you for the explanation of the skills, I was curious how some of that was determined. Some of those tricks he did, I remember doing back in the day....that was before the internet.
thanks for this! i have seen most of these tricks seen explained at some point, but its so nice to see it all together in one well commentated video :)
One category of SMB3 you missed in the beginning is my favorite version. All Castles. This category requires you to beat all the various castles and forts. This means you can't just rush the end of the world each time like Warpless requires, allowing for more variation as there are branching pathing options. Additionally it allows players to skip a lot of the extremely slow autoscrolling levels 100% requires.
Whats frustrating, and fascinating at the same time is seeing all these little tricks and moves my friends and I used to do in SMB3 almost thirty years ago in these speedruns. However we didn't have the insight nor the drive to try to string them together for speedruns. Speedrunning a game just wasn't on our minds back then. But sometimes when clearing a level we'd pull off one of these feats just to show off. Nowadays I'm lucky to be able to even beat a NES game. Just don't have the quickness or preciseness I used to.
Exactly, I remember sometimes accidentally clipping through a wall thinking it was a mistake, now it's done intentionally to basically skip through the level......
I love the in-depth analysis of games in this format I find these a lot more enjoyable Dan summoning salt videos because it goes more into why everything works not just what was done I really love the videos man
Yet another incredible video. You deserve so many more subscribers and views. Just wanted to say you have been a massive inspiration for me; I recently dropped my first “Speedrun explained” video, very much like your ones, after 5 months of hard work. It’s not nearly as excellent as yours, but you’ll see it was heavily inspired in terms of the visuals and diagrams etc. and I can’t wait to make more. Keep it up and thanks so much! :)
This run involved extremely little RNG. It just seems like it because the run is so incredibly optimized. At some point, almost every game gets optimized to the point where even a few frames of RNG-based time loss become unacceptable.
1:8 chance of being grabbed and 2 times ~1:5 for the walljumps to work, that's a 0.5% chance altogether just to have a shot... every 200th try! Imagine to have spent hundreds of hours to master the speedrun beta and then having to deal with that kind of RNG. That's some crazy dedication right there.
If anyone is interested the main time saves were new route in World 1 (obtaining mushroom and leaf ealier) and better luck with the angry sun in the end.
Interesting, I remember hearing someone mention game quality testing being done with a broken controller that allowed left, right, up and down to be held at the same time to see how games handled it or if they'd crash.
