Curious how this speed run was created? Check out my explanation of what TAS is and how it works: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJldosuK28_Dlpc.html

Obviously, Mario had to save the princess before the spaghetti finished cooking, so he mastered theoretical physics and parkour.

I admire lakitu's dedication to keep following mario even though walls and alternate dimensions, I say he's the best camera man I've seen.

8:40 Mario celebrates with a breakdance after having gotten permission into heaven

Peach couldn't even finish the cake in that time.

"Thank you so much for to breaking my game"

I like how he uses every yahoo-able surface to yahoo his way through time and space

Imagine showing this to the developers right after they released the game.

"If I catch you playing that stupid mario game again, I'm breaking up with you. I'll be home in 1.5 hours."

How disrespectful is it to do the 100 coin star during the footrace?

15:11 is honestly mind blowing

Nintendo needs to give lakitu a raise for keeping up with Mario like this

He beat the game faster than i can catch that damn rabbit

if you ever feel useless, imagine being the doors in this run.

When I was a kid, it took me an hour and a half to realize that I had to get into the paintings.

It’s been 8 years, and this is still absolutely legendary.

Imagine it's just a normal day when all of a sudden your brother starts having a seizure on the stairs. You blink once in disbelief, and in that 1/3 of a second, your brother teleports 397.68 miles away from you

I can just image Bowser crying to a therapist saying: "I'm not crazy! He really did break the laws of physics and beat me up three times and steal every star I had in less than an hour and a half!"

37:14 that stealth kill though

That sound at 38:04 was amazing

This entire video in a nutshell: Oh, I know how to get that star! ... Well, that's one way to get it...

Koopa the Quick: Hey, wanna race? Mario: Sure. *teleports*

Man, this TAS guy is insane, even pulling off more than one frame-perfect series of perfect joystick coordinate inputs.

26:39 "Metal-Head Mario Can Move." Yea he sure fuckin can!

The only moments that could remotely be described as "calm" are when mario is swimming

15:15 "You must be strong. And pretty fast. How fast are you anyway?" Poor ol' Koopa the Quick had no idea what was coming...

This has given me full proof of the speed demon in TerminalMontage's animated Mario vids.

There was a lot of impossible stuff in the is run; A lot of unbelievable stuff, but the greatest of all of these is TAS Mario being able to accurately control the wing cap.

tas is such a good speedrunner he manages to do the craziest things in games

Lakitu sure is a good cameraman.

crazy how this tas is so dated but it's so good. Whenever the new one is finished, it's going to be insane

This was the first video game I played in like 1997 and I just learned that running around the wood stumps in bob omb battlefield gives extra coins

Bowser is watching Mario throughout his whole adventure as he collects the 120 stars that had previously been scattered throughout the castle. Bowser is growing more and more concerned for his personal safety when Mario doesn't die. Ever. Bowser is tremendously terrified of Mario when he begins to flip and kick and literally clip through walls because he's moving with such speed and grace. By the third battle with Bowser he just gives up and gives Mario the final Grand Star.

Funny how on land you do all these crazy things, but on water there's nothing to do but swim.

23:58 - 24:09 “That was literally just muscle memory”

15:48 If you go at 0.25 speed and pause at the right time, you can see Poor Koopa the "Quick" as Mario shouts "Yippee! Wah Ha!!!" Repeatedly while collecting coins somersault/flying overhead. Just insulting. I love it

Poor Bowser all his planing all his well laid plans and minions, then comes wahoo man and breaks reality

Mario now has a Master’s degree in theoretical physics. This was his Master’s thesis.

The amount of skill and style with which this is executed is so awesome. Such a pleasure to watch Mario just glide across every stage like a fucking mad man. I rewatch this every once in awhile and im not sure why.

Almost 11 years but still amazing TAS and respect Sonicpacker!

Sonic: I am the fastest thing alive. Mario: Hold my beer.

collecting 100 coins while waiting for koopa.

This is literally a work of art

As Luigi, I have to say that my brother Mario is truly an amazing individual. He is an expert at jumping, fighting and exploring, and I have always looked up to him and admired his abilities. He has a special kind of courage and determination that is truly admirable. I wish I could learn from him and acquire some of his skills, his adventure and skills are truly unmatched. I am always in awe of his bravery and quick thinking when it comes to defeating enemies and overcoming obstacles. If only I could be half as skilled and brave as he is, I would be one happy Luigi.

I didnt know how to do some of the stars, thankfully this comprehensible guide helped me with the missing ones.

Bowser had no idea who he was up against.

Gordon: I'm the backwards man the backwards man, I can walk backwards as fast as you can. Mario: Oh really?

2:43 Sleding Penguin (Race) 7:25 Bowser 1 (Bowser In The Dark World) 11:28 King Thwomp 14:32 King Bo-omb 15:15 Koopa The Quick 1 (Race at Bo-omb Battlefield) 24:53 Bowser 2 (Bowser In The Fire Sea) 33:58 Eyerok 37:14 Big Bully 1 (Boil the Big Bully) 38:32 3 Bullies & Big Bully 2 (Bully the Bullies) 47:38 Big Boo 1 (Inside) 48:23 Big Boo 2 (Roof) 49:08 Big Mr. I 51:16 Big Boo 3 (Merry-Go-Round) 56:13 Koopa The Quick 2 (Race at Tiny Huge Island) 57:11 Wiggler 58:50 Chill Bully 1:20:06 Bowser 3 (Bowser In The Sky) (Final Boss) 1:21:09 Ending

1:06:16 I like how Mario was wall jumping so far that even he was scared

Roughly a star every 60 seconds. I don't care if it is TAS, that shit is damn impressive! And by 60 seconds I, of course, mean 40 seconds.

can't wait to see the new 120 TAS, for now i'll rewatch this one. happy to see one of my favorite TASes reach 3 million views

10:54 Damn, TAS was so fast in getting 8 coin star and 100 coin star that he got both of the star jingles to play at the same time LMAO

Mario disrespected Koopa the quick so bad...

4:48 Lil' penguin: Trauma for his entire life

This one has honestly been the most satisfying tas video I've ever watched

this may have taken years, is possible even a decade! i salute you for making this masterpiece.

*"THE PRINCESS HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND ALL THE STARS LOCKED AWAY!"* "K gimme like 90 minutes."

To me the 100 coins and 8 red coins stars are some of the most mesmerizing to watch. They perfectly combine insane acrobatics with following the flow the designers intended.

4:49 this baby penguin had the time of its life there

46:03 this is like the whopping 1 part of the whole run where there wasnt a glitch being used every 3 seconds

One day, when aliens start picking up our signals, they're going to see Mario TAS runs and be extremely horrified of the humans with 3 millisecond reaction times.

Bowser's watching mario the whole time and just whispers to himself, "fuck me"

1:19:07 flexing the blj for no reason

i love how 50% of the run is cutscenes

9:31 the music was so amazed it stopped

Mario would make a freakin fortune delivering pizza XD

The TAS bit really sped run saving a continuing truly the best thing ive seen

22:32 Mario collects a star from DDD. Peach tells him he can access the door to DDD.

marios ass must be hurting from all those back long jumps. Jesus Christ man

37:55 the most satisfying moment in the run

Whenever I think I'm good at this game I re-watch this TAS

This is absolutely the best TAS video I have ever seen.

Bowser, having successfully abducted the Princess without Mario's knowledge and cast the necessary spells to craft the many painting worlds scattered throughout the castle, checks to make sure that he had carefully hidden the 120 stars that he painstakingly broke free of castle's grid in these worlds. Months of work, dozens of black magic spells cast, and hundreds of hours of labor from the koopa work force. But it was finally done - he decides to take a well deserved nap while the hapless plumber surely takes time to figure out what's going on and stumble through finding the first few stars. Maybe this time Mario would fail or give up or even die, but Bowser wasn't going to leave that to chance. Not this time. There's still so much to do, and Bowser doesn't have time to waste. But ninety minutes won't kill him - all his work will surely still be there when he wakes up.

Mom: You have 2 hours left, and then it's your sister's turn. Me:

Solo puedo decir una palabra: “INCREÍBLE”

Probably one of the coolest videos this site has to offer.

any uneven surface: exists mario: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYAYYYYYYYYAYHOO

"A 120 star speedrun? This is gonna be boring" 1:21 *oh*

The flying at 13:13 is so satisfying

7:07 holy shit that's actually fucking crazy imagine if an actual person could do that

Mario has become Doctor Strange and mastered the power of scooching his butt backwards on the ground like a dog to reach speeds unbeknownst to man

47:27 my brain during a test

Going down the ice slide and hitting all the coins is hard enough as it is, to do this whole run flawlessly is just insane.

I loved the part where you BLJ and collect everything! Too OP! Great TAS!

Bowser: HAHAHA GET REKT MARIO I CAPTURED THE PRINCESS XDDDDD Mario: k, cya in an hour. Bowser: wait what?

15:10 : How real men beat Koopa The Quick

Can we just appreciate the fact that every time he does a 100 coin + all red coins star he gets exactly 100?

120 stars in exactly 1:20:00 is so satisfying

120th star at 1:20:00 Like... seriously?

Dear Mario. I baked some ca- “Where’s my cake?”

That was amazing men Seeing Mario moving so fast is just incredible

We all hope that before the end of 2021 we will have the new 120 stars tas, the new first 21 stars were already so impressive to watch and with all the new route discovered it's gonna be so fun to watch

Y'know, when people say "Mario vs Sonic Olympics makes no sense, as sonic is way faster", I always want to show them this.

my whole childhood of 10 years, in 1 hour and 20 mins....

Peach: come upstairs Mario: but I’m collecting coins Peach: I’m wearing the clothes you got me Mario: 39:48

Excelente, eres un crack bro, nuevo subs, me quede sorprendido...

When they look back in time to try to find the moment when Skynet first became sentient, it will inevitably lead back to this video at 08:42 when Mario breakdances during the loading screen.

38:05 Billie Jean is not my lover.

"Patience is nothing but a tool for the weak to delay." Some guy somewhere sometime.
