Was watching the Projarad video, when I thought "man I bet there is a dope speedrun of this game" I didn't expect Arcus! I'm a big summoning salt fan, and I instantly fell in love with Arcus' personality in the Ninja Gaiden episode. This is a truly awesome video and run.
Marble Blast for XBOX live arcades... one of my all time favorite game RIP. :( I had the opportunity to play with the world's best, I wasn't all that bad myself either. I miss it.
You are like the Bob Ross of Speedrunning my dude. We appreciate the time and effort you put forth. Speed running can be rage inducing but for you it seems like zen.
I have never passed stage 6 and didn't even know it was the last stage. This game kicked my ass back in the day. Good job man. You made it look so easy.
I was so proud of myself when I beat the aerial race a few years ago. I honestly thought the weird race of level five was the last. Kudos to this guy for sure.
Arcus's mustache controls his fingers like a puppet hahaha. Anyways I don't get the time to watch your livestreams but at least when the you tube videos pop out I know "we in it"
This is the kind of speedrun I like, totally skill-based. None of that "Watch me use glitches and exploits to bypass huge portions of the game" nonsense.
2:12 how in the *HELL* did you resist smashing everything in that little pen? that must have taken inner strength I didn't know people had to resist smashin all those little bastards in there! My hats off to you pullin that off; WITH YER HAT *ON!*
i remember pressing my finger soooo hard against the d pad to get the marble to move the way i wanted. Hearing Arcus' controller make noises makes me feel not so bad haha
"See kids, this game is very easy! Now go beat it while I leave you here for the rest of yours lives... I mean, the rest of the afternoon. See you... Maybe."

This man conquered my whole childhood existence in under 3 minutes
Guy name Yelsraek has the world record now
your childhood was pretty shitty
This game I tell you what
For real. Never made it past level 4. Had no idea how close I was
Yelsraek has 6 minutes.
What a wholesome speedrun.
Yessum, I reckon itis.
Wait, there’s a second level in this game??
🤣🤣
TheMan WhoLaughs nub or noob?
@TheMan WhoLaughs why u booly?
yes
I said the same thing, then scrolled down to see your comment.
Dude. It's 3am and I'm watching a guy with an old cowboy hat and 'stache named Jojo beat Marble Madness in under 3 minutes on Twitch.
"Klonk!"
Jojo is his cat :)
but also...a reference
JJBA:Steel Ball Run
You're not watching twitch.
bro i literally started watching this at 2:58am
Yare yare
You realize just how hard they created the game to be when they only did 6 levels lol.
Adam Johnson you may find the postmortem of MM interesting: th-cam.com/video/klPs3KrXiJE/w-d-xo.html
This is the worst sentence i have ever read. Please go back to school.
@@williambr88 no one cares
@@undergroundmonorail obviously you care since you replied...
@@williambr88 the laziest response to the laziest insult.
I love the noises this guy makes. What a legend
*These graphics rocked our worlds back in the day*
This was recommended to me after I watched Jared's video.
Same.
I saw the gameboy version in my local game store today, did not buy.
This game was fun. I died a lot. Never knew that it was only that many levels. I’m 36.
Selvar im 72
Yes same I'm 36 and I just realized as well .
viking berserker im literally twice your age.
yeah.. i never made it to stage 5
atrocious _ pr0xy made it to 6 but never beat that one.
Husband: "Smoosh smoosh aaaaaand CLUNK."
Wife: "Thanks for nothin."
I think those yellow things that come out of the ground on Stage 4 was the first time i've ever experienced true rage as a child.
Just loves how he mumbles the tune. The tambour of his voice just adds to the charm!
I'm gonna be that guy, as much as I try not to be, but as a musician/composer... it's spelled "timbre."
@@MattGallagherComposer - The tambourine in his voice.
It warms my heart that there are speed runners for nearly every game.
lol this guy's whole demeanor/aura is so goofy/cute
It's gay to call another man cute.
The fact that he sings to himself during the whole thing is so innocently wonderful
Never thought I'd see a cowboy speedrunner
@French Jesus And no ring to show for it
@French Jesus Garrett is not Prescott

Yeah, I couldn't do this without a code. This game is unforgiving
I love when he hums to the music
Mark Cerny made this game, he would be later known for Crash Bandicoot and being the lead architect of the PS4
Thats a funny way to spell Grandpa Knack
smart guy
The music on the second stage gave me a severe flashback.
Damn you Marble Madness!
This is soooo sick, love this game, grew up playing it, seeing this is phenomenal.

I played that game 100s of times and never could beat it without Game Genie
2:05 anybody else feel threatened when the game says "everything you know is wrong"
If I remember correctly, the d-pad controls are flipped for that level.
Lmao!
It's that 28th guy *I was instantly triggered. That’s when I decided to blow up the w-*
Holy shit, dude. I struggled at this game and you just breezed through it like it was nothing. Well done.
I was today years old (34) when I found out this game only had 6 levels. I've never seen those last 3 levels. That was impressive.
I always wondered which game William H Macy would speedrun. Now I know!
😂😂😂😂
Something about this guy just makes me smile
I have never passed stage 6 and didn't even know it was the last stage. This game kicked my ass back in the day. Good job man. You made it look so easy.
Very impressed with your speed runs, but this marbling absolutely blows my mind. Wow bravo!
Of course the profile named JoJo wins the speedrun.
There is no way. This game confounded me every time. I had no idea there was even an end...
Blown Away by your skills man!! You are truly an inspiration!
Damn that guy is likeable
I just watched a cowboy complete marble madness in under 3 minutes?😳
The humming and the cowboy hat🤣
This guy even have callouses 🤣🤦🏽♂️
Absolutely LOVED this game as a kid, thanks for this.
playing this game for god knows how long and still enjoying the music
that's true zen
"Aaaaand clunk."
aaaaaaaaaand clonk.
Great work!
Actually never heard of this game before and it looks simple yet so beautiful and fluid.
No skips or glitches. This may be among the most solid 2 Gen games ever made
I was so proud of myself when I beat the aerial race a few years ago. I honestly thought the weird race of level five was the last. Kudos to this guy for sure.
This has to be one of, if not THE, shortest NES game to complete.
Congrats.. This was pretty incredible. All my respect
Is this guy the Bob Ross of speedrunning?
Lol. Side note: I think there’s a bob ross nes game
My God, I've missed this game so much!! Now I want to play it again.
Is that the guy who sold Homer Simpson an RV in Call Of The Simpsons?
nah, this guy's way cooler
Loved this game growing up. Great run man
that mustache must give you some mighty strength to be able to beat this game like that
This is not a mortal man. He has gifts sent to him from the gods
Thank you randomness of internet and youtube, good childhood memories
This guy is genuinely nice
Good job Arcus!
Marble madness was the game your aunt would buy you and your sibling for Christmas
My friend was playing this game, he was like "you wanna try?"
I was like "no"
Jojo was the secret to success
I want this guy to be my friend!
Is he on twitch?
One of my all time favourite games. I had it since I was about 2 but didn’t beat it til I was like 14 (27 now). Great job!
Yes, this will help in *my next job interview.*
Damn, dude. That's a hard freaking game. Great job!
This game and runner are so sweet and pure.
That music from level 2 definitely rings a bell, and I've never seen or even heard of this game. Wasn't that tune in a famous film or something?
At the very very end of the stage it sounds briefly like the pokemon red/blue battle theme
So tempting to post this link in Pro Jared's comment section.
You made this game seem like easy shovelware on a 1000 in 1 games pack holy smokes.
Wow amazing run Arcus.
Arcus's mustache controls his fingers like a puppet hahaha. Anyways I don't get the time to watch your livestreams but at least when the you tube videos pop out I know "we in it"
I was wondering why I thought I seen this person before.. then at 3:07 he went "klonk" and i felt like eating a burrito..
What?! Amazing run.... I'm speechless. I will never play again after watching you.🤯
Sick run dude! I still have nightmares about stage 5 from my childhood.
That's some muscle memory right there. #clunk
I got this game at a boy scout swap meet when I was a kid. Had to be 1990?, maybe 91
This is the kind of speedrun I like, totally skill-based. None of that "Watch me use glitches and exploits to bypass huge portions of the game" nonsense.
You do know that a glitched speedrun is a category right?. What he is doing is a Any% run
2:12 how in the *HELL* did you resist smashing everything in that little pen? that must have taken inner strength I didn't know people had to resist smashin all those little bastards in there!
My hats off to you pullin that off; WITH YER HAT *ON!*
The muscle memory alone is impressive!
There's only 6 levels to Marble Madness?? 😮
This man is the Bob Ross of speedrunning
i remember pressing my finger soooo hard against the d pad to get the marble to move the way i wanted. Hearing Arcus' controller make noises makes me feel not so bad haha
Thanks for uploading this one!
I used to love this game.....Ahhhhh brings back memories....
Watching him destroy this MARBLE game is MADNESS!
I just had a huge wave of nostalgia - I totally forgot this game existed. Granted I don’t think I ever beat even just the first level, but still lol
Maybe it's the hat, maybe it's the mustache... But something inside my soul wants this guy to mess up
I remember how hard this game is. Great moves! Can you do a speedrun of Jackal?
Amazing run. I've never beaten the game yet. Tried so many times as a kid.
Looks like an old timey silver miner from New Mexico circa 1896
Marty McFly's Irish-Western relatives.
Can you do battletoads.
I 2nd that played battle toads brand new back in the day still get wuped by the turbo tunnel.
Yes battletoads!
Would love to see that.
Tennessee 5 most interesting game I’ve seen suggested so far
Thats it, im fetish shaming
I forgot about this game, it brings me back
Great game; great soundtrack -- AMAZING speedrun. (I don't think I ever finished then Ultimate Race.)
I still play this at my local arcade and cannot beat level 4. You get past those green acid puddles with ease, nice job.
Travis Edwards yes it’s right next to the record store and in the same town as the last blockbuster!
This game was so frustrating when I was 11.
"See kids, this game is very easy! Now go beat it while I leave you here for the rest of yours lives... I mean, the rest of the afternoon.
See you... Maybe."
This guy does in minutes what I spent my childhood doing in hours. Please tell me he hasn't speedrunneded Bayou Billy or Renegade.
my future memory of this will be that he played Sunset Riders
Unbelievable, you are a true master.
Holy shit that was impressive! You've got my sub now.
Great run Arcus! GG
Man I used to love this game so much
That's absolute MADNESS!!! ...Marble Madness
