My favorite part of a Summoning Salt video is when the “theoretical limit” has been achieved and there’re still 16 minutes left in the video.
I should have known someone would speedrun this comment and beat me to it ffs.
@@dustybizzle1 yeah weve reached the theorectical limit for fastest comment

"He beat Andrewg's time by eight seconds..."
"Okaaaaay, that's cool"
"...Without glitches."
( *_*INTRIGUED*_* )
exactly my thoughts. pretty amazing
Imagine being able to say "i outplayed Andrewg"
@@four-en-tee imagine being able to say "I outplayed AndrewG glitchless"
@@ForFurtherNotice imagine being able to say “I outplayed AndrewG glitchless without gitches”
@@JSPUFC Imagine being able to say:"I beat Andrewg's glitchless run with a glitchless run without glitchless."
My favorite part of all of these videos is always the inevitable part where the speedrunners decide to cast off twin galaxies and see what’s possible with glitches
Honestly. Love how they come together and break these 'rules' for the improvement of the community as a whole. And I mean, if the whole community ends up accepting something, there's nothing Twin Galaxies was able to do.
TG should have just created a category for it.
it’s honestly the best part, because that’s where all of the time starts to majorly decrease
Imo what makes the difference between a speedrun run and a casual run by a really good player is the glitches. Without them it’s just playing the game well, and that’s pretty boring
Twin galaxy's would of made speed running dead and buried with they're shitty biusneas practices, letting 38 year old nobody's get away with fake world records cause they've just been claiming them for long enough
"He got on THIS run" has become one of the most anxiety-inducing sentences in my life
Ok!=
He got on this run.
And than "that run" was 4 frames away from the world record ;-;
"Typically, veggies can't be carried from room to room. However, since it was stuck in his head, this didn't apply."

Yeah to me cak is the best and andrewg can only dream of being as good as him
Why are you talking like having a glitched record is bad
@@fuckcontinentals It's not that it's bad, it's about performing a better speedrun, time-wise, while using a more restrictive rule-set. This is not an easy feat to say the least

My face when Matt Turk wasn’t the answer to almost every question.
I need to go back and watch the Punch Out and Contra videos again

Everybody gansta untill salt answers a question with "Matt Turk"

Twin Galaxies: "No glitches allowed!"
Community: "We recognize that TG has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, we have elected to ignore it."
Twin galaxies and their backwards ideology
Sadly they still refuse to acknowledge that one can reach a gentleman's agreement on what is permissible in a world record
and *still* maintain a legitimate run record with multiple categories.
This guy is one of few youtubers that actually makes 40-60 minute videos that are worth 40-60 minutes of your time to watch.
As of today (10/12/2023) COOLKID holds the record at 8:11:590 for the past year, a full FOUR seconds ahead of IluvMario.
Absolutely insane.

That was the single most impressive flex I've ever seen in a speedrun video...
Cak beat the any% world record *_G L I T C H L E S S_*
Which means, by Twin Galaxies standards, he still holds the record.
The part where the guy came back and broke the new world record without any glitches made my jaw hit my foot.
It knocked my socks off my feet and straight into the washing machine. It blew my hair back and gave me a toothache.

Made me think of binding of Isaac
Imagine this in literally any other context
With no context this makes no sense, with the context of Mario speedrunning this makes even less sense
As of now January 2023, the world record stands at 8m 11s 590ms set by the swedish player COOLKID over a year ago!
Some major changes or glitch must have been found. A 5 second drop in the record is too big for just some cleaner play. I wonder what they found
That's insane
@@femain1788I kinda want Summoning Salt to make an update on several of their speedrun history videos, including this one.
Nothing major was found to the best of my knowledge (I watched most of CK's grinds back then). If you look at the WR history post this video the time saves were mostly just fractions of a second. The biggest new change to the route I recall is that he started implementing zombie rocket in 7-1 to catch a particular Birdo pattern that allowed for a very fast kill, saving usually a full second. @@femain1788
I am in awe that there was a time where glitches were banned.

There are control freaks in all walks of life.
@@Fluoride_Jones unfortunately yes 😔
The way Summoning Salt narrates this makes me feel like these records are events of global significance that should be discussed by world leaders at the UN and warrant special breaking news broadcasts on TV.
😂👍
Who said they aren't?
@@endymallorn No one, really.
I love his narration. But I wish he would update his editing style... The cuts to pure black that last several seconds are not fun if you watch on your phone in a dark room, and he's been doing it for years.
UN leaders do not deserve that honor
SummoningSalt: "a certain 4 wheeled vehicle"
*Fuck he's onto us*
I mean i havent seen that many 4 wheel buses
@@Komo-en8dn I think it’s fairly likely he was referring specifically to school busses, which are the most universal bus type in the US.
@@Komo-en8dn It may depend on the country. In Japan and Europe most of them have 4wheels, but i have seen 6wheeled buses in other countries.
@@cedric7751 majority of buses are 6 wheelers cause public transport buses are big
@@Komo-en8dn No one mentioned busses until you did. So it looks like his analogy worked just fine 🤷♂️
To be fair if I was holding a cobra over my head I would have an increased sense of urgency too
This is the first video game I ever played, when I was about 7 years old. My grandpa bought me a GBA for my birthday. Before then I had literally never heard of video games (very sheltered family) so understandably my mind was completely blown. I played the remastered Super Mario Advance, the only game I had, for countless hours. I have so much nostalgia connected to this game I have to stop myself from typing forever. I’ll keep it at least somewhat brief and say thanks for this video, it unlocked a nostalgia door in my brain & inspired me to dig up my old Gameboy
While it wasn’t my first Video Game, GBA ver. Super Mario World was incredible as a kid.
I still haven’t been able to beat Boswer. 💀
I love video game terminology. You'll never hear someone just say: "Yeah, I was going for an early vegetable cycle, but missed it, so my Wart was slower."
I said that just last week to my personal trainer/drug dealer.
@@BrokenGodEnt Fair enough
why does that sentence look like google translate. lmao
@@cYObEL it does doesn’t it aye 😂
By far my favorite example of this: "Time is on marmalade," because at the end of one of the Katamari games, that weird space dude says "Marmalade!" and that's when they stop the timer.
Andrew G is the type of guy that can heat 4 minute instant noodles in 3 minutes by disconnecting and connecting the microwave for a frame perfect time save that comes every 256 frames.
Minute Rice any% wr 30.76s
This comment is so good
@@MegaShrooom The point is that it would be a trick in the programming. No need for that.
And don't forget the floor glitch to save 4.7253155254353 nanoseconds
microwave clip
The funniest part of the "four wheeled vehicle of transportation" goof is that some busses are six wheeled
Yeah, WTF is that? Why not just say "car"?
@@dawnbreaker2912 it's not a car it's a bus. Basically, the joke is that a *very* overused analogy to explain the framerule system is comparing it to a bus schedule, so they've been coming up with circumlocutions to say "bus" instead of repeating the exact same thing in every video
it's always nicer when harder tricks are in the first level rather than the last
What’s even worse is when there is RNG right at the end, like in Super Mario Bros. 3
This was supposed to drop on New Year's Day, but he managed to save a frame rule
This made my day :D
Best comment.
E V E R.
You mean he caught the early 4 Wheeled Vehicle of Transportation
I got here before there were thousands of likes
It was dropped on New Year's Day in the Netherlands
COOLKID and ILuvMario sound less like names for world record holding speedrunners and more like 7 year olds picking their first gamertags.
reminds me of that dizzee song lol
you can't say that ILuvMario isn't a prophetic name

August 2021 Update:
IluvMario and COOLKID continued to rival in competing for the Mario 2 World Record. Not so soon after Salt’s video on this released, IluvMario beat COOLKIDS 8:16 with a 15. It stood there for a bit until recently, COOLKID came BACK again and dropped it to a 8:13 . A whole 2 seconds lower. And that’s where it stands as of when I commented this lol.
Honestly from watching the video at the end I came to the conclusion that currently 8:13 was as low as you could get but I'm glad I read this comment for an update on that thank you
@@zk0rned And it can possibly go to a 8:10 with the new fast rocket (if it's ever implemented/allowed)

My favorite speedrunning trope is when everyone discovers some major time saving techniques, but some previous record holder has been quietly perfecting the old techniques and comes in with an unexpected world record.

The speedrun isn’t close to optimal until salt starts talking about frames.

I love how every one of these histories has a part that's like "and then..... he began researching tricks that were previously considered TAS-only" as though it's the story of a rogue wizard delving into the forbidden texts in search of ancient demonic speedrunning power.
I can’t get enough of these speed running WR videos!!! It’s going to be a shame when I watch them all. I’ll just start over and be sure to catch the new stuff coming out. Being 38 years old....this is soooooo nostalgic for me to see the games I grew up with. Thank you for the amazing content!!!!

I really like that SS acknowledged that it’s very likely people were speed running this game since it came out.

I have no idea how well they did but if those knuckle heads were doing it, my guess is there were many others.
But yeah, without video evidence (or some kind of written record), it’s all conjecture. Again though, appreciate the shout out to the old school peeps.

With that name, he got the WR by default.
“You fool! I was an egg cycle ahead of you this whole time!”
I love how this channel gets me hyped about the speedrunning community of a game I’ve never played before!
This has quickly become my favorite channel. The amount of time this stuff takes to actually research and the genuine admiration for these records and the speedrunnning craft in general is so nice to see.
I've never even speedrun something in my life, but I'm a genuine fan

I think I've seen almost all of your wr history videos and I really love them.
Your ability to weave a narrative is absolutely fantastic I think it's what makes these soooo engaging for me to watch.
Not sure what saddens me more, "there is no footage of this run today," or "and that's where the run stands today"
The first one. You can fix the second one
"and that's where the run stands today" is far worse, that means you will have to wait several months for another summoning salt video!

People in 2021: what a way to start a year
me, whos watching it in both:
great use of music and editing. you do a great job showing a lot of respect for so many historical runs that were impactful and why, I can't imagine how much research it takes to recognize these little details that make runs special.
You know what's sad. When it said "I didn't have the VCR running..." i was initially like "oh must be some special recording device" before it hit me that was the old thing I used to play tapes on as a kid lol
Then, on December 31st 2020, Summoning Salt did this:
By using Home Resonance, Summoning Salt was able to create another intro.
Sub 8:00 willBE DONE
AndrewG ist that one character that comes back into the sequel, 70 minutes in, camera focussed on his shadow entering the saloon, saying "did you miss me?" - then the screen fades to black with that cliffhanger
Hes like the protagonist that can’t be killed
And then Hotarubi is just there, and ask yourself if he’s been there the whole movie.
Bro, the entire video I was sitting there for him to mention my favorite character, AndrewG again
DU HIER??🤣
I see you are a man of culture aswell
Every time he shows up in one of these videos I get choked up a little.
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so well put together that they're utterly enthralling.
I very rarely rewatch videos that I’ve seen before. But I just rewatched this video after seeing it about a year ago. And I enjoyed every second of it again.
Summoning Salt is the master and a pioneer of this genre of videos.
I love how the bus analogy has become so well known, he doesn’t even need to name it.
Yet everyone knows exactly what he is saying.
ikr, I think Darbian is the most famous speedrunner ever simply bc of the Bus Analogy
what is a bus? i only know of *4 Wheeled vehicle of transportation*
@@mulraf bus is how you speedrun the 4 wheel vehicle of transportation.
to be fair, if i were 4 frames off a world record in a prestigious game i’d quit too
@@trash_lol sounds like some first world problems right there
No one knows who you are schizo
@@trash_lol nobody knows you shut up and stop yelling like a child
I'd do the same lmao
Can relate
“Cak’s speed run was still standing 2 years later, it was just that good at 8 mins 32 secs.”
Me: *checks time* oh we still have half the video left. Time to strap in!
As of May 27, 2022, COOLKID holds the record at 8m 11s 590ms, just a little under 4 seconds ahead of IluvMario's 8m 15s 300ms.
Crazy how andrew G is a recurring character in so many of these, what a legend.
An *absolute* one.
@@TheAtb85 dang you stole my comment
After a while of watch SummoningSalt, you kinda see a combined universe surrounding speedrunners
Every competitive arena has gate keepers.
He should be way more known than ppl like Billy Mitchell
This is a very underrated speedgame, especially warpless!
Hello
Pog
SMB2 is my second favorite Mario speedrun after SMB3
I don’t speedrun this game...yet
Oo, then I should check it out
How are some youtube videos so much exponentially better at grabbing audiences than multi-billion dollar studios?? You are right up there my friend, liked and subscribed.
Shortly after this video was posted, CoolKid pulled off and 8:11.59, which is the new record as of 2023-12-08. Absolutely incredible.
"Only 6 seconds to save for a perfect run"
Checks video, only halfway done... hmmmmm
I did the same thing :))))))
Time flies when u watching sum of these
(x) doubt
Everybody a gangsta until HOME begins to play.
Bruh, that shit has some Clockwork Orange vibes.
@@ChunkSchuldinga Activates my LSD flashbacks
coolkid now has an 8:11.5
holy.
“Toad picked up a cobra and ran as fast as he could.” I love it.
"Involving a particular four-wheeled vehicle..."
I'm dead.
Haha that was brilliantly subtle
Ahhh I was waiting for the BUSSSSSS
I don’t get it
@@redred622 have you ever heard the tragedy of darth bus the wise
@@redred622 There is an overused analogy for a similar mechanic in super mario speedruns involving a bus.
The entire time I expected Matt Turk to show up and clean house with a record
Matt Turk simply allows others to have world records.
I was expecting Matt turk to come up anytime, legend
It will be funnier if Matt Turk beat smb2 with punch out kid.
@@kos2919 You mean with Little Mac lol
MATT TURK OUTTA NOWHERE
went to look at the leaderboard just for the hell of it and COOLKID got an 8:12 yesterday. absolute madman
th-cam.com/video/hLphTA4mJSs/w-d-xo.html 8:11 hahahaha
@@SmartYouTubification nah
Those 4 frames were crushing, can't imagine how the poor guy felt
