The fact that you had to include so much additional information at the end shows how fast games can develop under your nose. Also, Rubiksmath's quest to 38/38 has the same energy as Mathias's 32/32 quest in Mario Kart 64.
There is actually a fair chance that he had 38/38 for a few days. The only record left in that period between his latest record and my Skater Fast DJ Any% WR was potentially spliced, but without audio it's impossible to tell

The Run series easily has one of the best soundtracks of any flash game. it just seems so catchy for the first time you listen to it, or listening to it for the first time in a while.
The difference between auto-scroller in Mario and Run is that in Mario, it's a break from optimization since you can't really optimize it, but Run makes the optimize much more intense since there is less optimizing factor.
@@KPoWasTaken In fact, people should be MORE familiar with auto-runner, because more people have played game such as Temple Run, Flappy Bird and Subway Surfers then a random level in a Mario Game.
18:44 I totally forgot that I used to try and speed run "run 2" in high school during my down time. My time certainly aint great lol but seeing my name up there takes me back to a simpler time before college and a pandemic happened. Run 2 was an amazing game. and amazing video by the way really scratches the speed running itch
I'd love to see the history of run if you're willing to cover it. Either way, just happy to see any of your content, always top tier stuff. Keep up the good work gamer!
This video was super complete and actually answered a lot of questions I had about the speedrun of this amazing series... Thanks a lot for making this video !
Woah I remember playing casually how hard it was to beat some of the levels on intense but hearing that speedrunners can’t do it consistently makes me feel better lol
can confirm it is very difficult :(. took me 6 hours to beat the run 1 intense infinite mode wr, which only requires me to not fall off for 1 minute and 17 seconds (granted rng gets in the way at higher diffculties anyway, levels from 70% onwards often have large unjumpable gaps unless you rotate, and are filled with 1 tile jumps).
Ah crap, first Technoblade and now this guy? RIP. I wish everyone who experienced the death of this person well, and I hope this person is resting well in heaven.
BRO! This was my game back in high school, for 2 whole years we played this game every single day me and my friends, all period during study hall, and most of the time in computer class. I REMEMBER THAT CORNER LAUNCH from level 23 that you officially found, it happened to someone by accident and then we all spent wayy too long trying to replicate it and most of us did eventually get it, i cant imagine trying to get that consistently tho for a speedrun, flash speedrunners are something else when it comes to timing and mashing. Great Video Maximum!
Thanks to this video i finally get to play my favorite flash games again I thought they were gone forever but here you are impressing me with an amazing video Great work my man 👍
in 3d land you can out run the camera in the autoscrolling levels, so in speedruns the speedrunners might as well just have a blindfold on during the auto scrollers.
can't believe i was bored enough to figure out these movement techs on my own as a kid. pretty sure you could even run on platform edges on 2d run games
Dude I love these videos! I really wanted to find a community for Ragdoll Invaders. Think it has a lot of potential for a flash category, and I don't think any community exists for it online. Its a "wave" based game so if you maximise the bullets hit across enemies and avoid deaths you can avoid losing time. There's also these hearts you collect to maximise your score. To get 100% you have to get max score which means 0 deaths and max hearts collected. I think a 100% run of this could be crazy since there's actually a decent skill ceiling and over the years I've finally been able to beat the game consistently. A 0 death category could be an option aswell so if someone missed a heart going for 100% they could still get their time placed in the 0 death category.
self-learning TASses aren't really viable yet. The stuff that SethBling has done with MarI/O (Super Mario World) and MarIQ (Super Mario Kart) is all that ive seen in regards to a neural network learning how to play a video game, and those efforts are currently much slower than human runs.
This qu'est of the 38 world records make me think if the Mario kart 64 video of summoning salt, and I would love it if you did a video resembling that for run 2
In run 3 there is a glitch where I you jump out of the stage right you can float around the stage and you can then go back inside at a later point, they might have patched that out, and I don’t think it saves any time anyway but I don’t know if it would be useful
@@griffinshorts785 I think all the speedrun commentary people I've watched have at least one game they're involved in, but they talk about more games than they run so you've gotta watch the right video to see it.
I heard a fucking discord notification ping and then immediately saw the trollface at 18:59 so i went back ten seconds to hear it again but it was actually a real ping. You managed to troll me without trying, good job!

Huge fan btw, I watch your videos at work with my coworker daily for the past few weeks :)
He will never get 38/38 not on MY WATCH
I love Run so seeing that it actually has a speedrunning community amazes me
Coolmathgames was the bomb
Why are you everywhere
You probably could have called it an "auto runner", that's also a genre of platformer and fits better than auto scroller
I agree, though far more people are familiar with the term "autoscroller"
Its the grandpa to Temple run and etc but yeah seems like auto scroller is a more general term for it
I find it hard to see a real difference.

One of the best flash games of all time. I used to play Run 2 and Run 3 on Cool Math Games at lunchtime in school. It really cured my boredom.
best 26 minutes and 59 seconds of my life
Babe, wake up, ItsMaximum is covering another flash game
in 3d land you can out run the camera in the autoscrolling levels, so in speedruns the speedrunners might as well just have a blindfold on during the auto scrollers.
For a game about running it sure did live up to it's name with speedy precition
this makes me feel more accomplished to have beaten run 3's story (and not skip through it without reading)
*E X P L A I N*
Conclusion: To be good at Run, You have to play ADOFAI, train 4 key clicking and use it in the end screens.
Earned a sub from me. Highly edited and just interesting in general. Underated :P
when the run 2 world record is sus!
