11:54 Note- Jeffw356 was actually the first person to do this glitch in a run, although he did it on emulator.

When I hear him say something like "he executed this run perfectly" and see another 8 minutes on the video, I get aroused.

Peach : I’ve been captured Mario : Be there in a min

5:06 "...and the legendary Dram55..." If at any point you did a series of videos on the careers of individual runners, I'd totally be down for that.

i love speedruns like this where they start out as skill tests and end as extremely abstract programming puzzles

Dude, keep these coming they're awesome.

I feel so bad for the Japanese runner who lost his record only due to a new strat being found. Obviously, that's the way it goes in Speedrunning, but it's sad he never made it back on top.

So what is your favourite programming language? Java? C++? KOOPA SHELLS!

Pfft, SethBling just used a bunch of invisible armor stands.

Big +1 for the Mute City soundtrack. Amazingly nostalgic. :)

"Rewriting the game code with koopa shells" don't know why it made me laugh so hard xD

I think this deserves an update. Your skills have improved so much in the years since this was first published.

5:38 I don't speak Japanese, but he sounds pretty excited

8:46 Wow I can't believe a cat was able to take a super mario world wr! So exited for the future of cats in speedruning!

This is SO INTERESTING! I’ve been playing this game my whole life and never knew about those glitches. The speed running culture is fascinating; some seriously talented people pushing video games to their limits. I love it

I love how some speed run challenges turn into "how quickly can we break the game juuust right?"

You do realize that within a year, producing World Record Progression vids will be your full-time job, right?

7:18 I love code wonk like this, where stuff only works because of bizarre limitations with the programming. It's like the Misingno glitch, this stuff only happens because of completely nonsensical coincidences due to the lack of storage space in 16 bits.

12:41 Update: Furious still has the wr at 41 seconds

I do believe Sethbling just posted a sub 1 minute run.

I don't know where the hell you came from but I'm glad I found you, these videos are fucking awesome.

As long as you keep your content consistent, you will definitely blow up. No one has really done these kind of videos (certainly not to this level of quality). And there is a large audience for it. I don't even watch Speed Runs, and I would watch every single one of these videos. It has a massive potential. The only thing people need to realize, is that KZfaq doesn't exactly reward accounts that only put out 1-2 videos a month. And these kind of videos take time to research and make. So it would be pretty stressful. The other issue is, how many speed runs are there really? At some point, he might run out (especially since he's combining years and years of speed runs, into a single video for a specific game). I guess this is prob less of a problem, since there is a lot of games that exist, and there probably actually is a ton of speed runs for games. I just wonder if he should put out regular content in between (shorter videos), so that his account doesn't suffer KZfaqs dumb algorithms. Then again, maybe it doesn't matter. Keep up the good work either way. This is fantastic.

Seeing glitches like the credits warp are really cool just because of the amount of effort it takes to figure that shit out but for me a glitchless run of this game will always be more impressive.

Yoshi island 1, the second level in the game Yoshi island 2, the first level in the game Lol wut

These videos are so awesome, Ocarina of Time sounds like a good one.

I know so many people have complimented this series, but I want to as well. You clearly put a lot of effort into these videos and it pays off. I watch some speedrunning related videos, typically countdowns which look at loads of games instead of one. It's so interesting learn about the history of specific games, and it's so cool to learn about new time saving tricks that are discovered. You also have pacing down to a tee. Subbed.

I think it’s important to go back and revisit Summoning Salt’s old videos and watch them again to appreciate how amazing each of them are

This needs to be revisited.

"It had everything the first games had. More powerups-" *Hold the phone.* Super Mario World having more powerups than Super Mario Bros. 3? I THINK NOT, SIR!

This is the exact video I wanted

I absolutely love your WR run progression videos. They are incredible. I hope to see plenty more! I hope nobody takes for granted how well researched and presented they are. I want to binge watch but I've already seen them all. More please!

"more powerups" **glitched sprite in item reserve**

Why are these videos so addicting and well made? How do you have all the clips of the various WR being set?

12:56 he's saying: Wtf?!? I've reseted the timer, I just can't believe it!! Instead of celebrating, he's mad at himself hahahha Brasil sil sil sil !!!

An extremely memorable soundtrack that consisted of exactly one tune.

Note to everyone: Yesterday, SethBling beat the game in less that a minute. Check his channel.

These are excellent, excellent videos. It's fascinating to learn the intricacies of any speed run, but to have them presented as a people's history like this series is just wonderful. Keep it up bud!

...And then I was late for work the next morning because I stayed up to watch the new World Record Progression video.

Highly underrated channel. Hopefully you blow up in 2019 and get 1M plus subs. Great high quality content

for anyone wondering, now at the end of September 2022 the current 11Exit WR is 9m 42s 983ms by Tsuake, from 2 months ago.

Sees xpaco5's nationality at 0:19 Me: *Crappily drawn thinking emoji*

5 year later i am here asking for a new version for this same video, with more details e the usual lenght PLEASE, this one deserves it

Peach: Help Mario, bowser kidnapped me again! Mario: (snorts a line of coke) k, be there in 10

I would love to see another SMW video, but with another category. Maybe 96 Exit?

Woooo when I saw the thumbnail I was like "sethbling!"

“Hey honey wanna watch me play Mario world?” “Yeah sure! just let me take a quick 2 minute bathroom break, you can play without me” “Alright” You know what happened

THIS JUST IN: a speedrunner going by the name of FURiOUS, 2 days ago, TOOK THE RECORD DOWN TO 41s IN THE 0 EXIT CATAGORY!!! IS SUB 40 POSSIBLE?!?!?!

Coming back and seeing how much he’s grown as a content creator is amazing. Stuck with it and became a titan of the community that everyone is constantly waiting for the next big drop never to be disappointed. Truly amazing work salt!

SMW and Gen 1 Pokemon are fortelling of the final meta of all speedrunning.... Arbitrary code execution.

12:55 ''What the f... I resetted the timer man, i cant believe it''

I'm depressed that this game came out in 1991. God I feel old.

this was the game that got me interested in speedrunning, I can thank SethBling for that... either way, I'm glad I found this community, some of the most wholesome pop-off's in the whole of gaming.

can't wait for the 2 hours special about Super Metroid kappa

Super Mario World is my second favourite of all time. A genuine marvel on so many levels.

11:57 wait wtf lmao Seth blings a speedrunner? Holy shit lmao I thought he was just a minecrafter

my brain is finding it difficult to accept that the straight to credits glitch is beating the game.

Would love to see an updated or "remastered" progression of Super Mario World.

Fuck yes I love these videos. It's 2:43 and I was going to sleep but nope

It's fantastic to hear/see how Summoning Salt evolves with every video. Quality all the way through that just goes up and up with every new video.

If there is one thing I've learned from these videos is that when Andrew G shows up, shits about to get real.

Hey, You found a niche that no one else has thought of that is super entertaining. If you keep it up your channel will only grow, and the more your channel grows the more you may find the time to improve your craft. Who knows one day this could be your living. Good Luck and keep it up :)

"It had everything the first 3 NES games had" uhh...you're overlooking a lot of stuff, like Wart, Shy Guys, Potions, the Frog Suit, and the Tanooki Suit!

What an incredible end of the video, staff roll is such a nostalgic and great end theme

Princess Peach: Come over Mario: I’m busy Peach: My parents aren’t home... Mario:

Loving these series, damn! So much knowledge of games I've only looked upon once and thought to myself "oh, that's a low time" I'd love me some Dark Souls in here or any of the Mega Man X games, hell, even the classic mega mans would be awesome!

These videos should be called "but a few months later"

Speedrunners: It's random. CPU: What is this "random" you speak of? Seriously, what is it?

Just finished watching all of this series that you've posted so far. These are very well made and researched, can't wait for more.

I’m surprised you didn’t show Sethbling’s live run where he rewrote the game’s code and made a flappy bird clone. That run showed how the credit warp was only the beginning. It could potentially mean that new categories could eventually be discovered. Here’s the video in it’s entirety: www.twitch.tv/videos/57032858 and his video with with the explanation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqhmmLxomNmwhmQ.html . Again, this should be shown as although it isn’t a speedrun it is a world record for the first person to write a program from within Super Mario World.

Thank you for this content it is amazing. Your videos will stay in History.

Dude, your channel is one of the most interesting on all of youtube. It's amazing how good people really get at these games, and the knowledge they have about them. To think, that just beating most of these classic games, was considered a challenge back in the day!

I’m sure a ton of people,myself included would watch the heck out of a revisiting SMW progressions for categories such as all castles and or small only no star world!

so was anybody gonna tell me sethbling was a speedrunner, or was i supposed to find out from this summoning salt video

If y’all wanna watch me beat it in 6 hours let me know .

Gaming community: So how did you execute it? How did you do it? SethBling: As you can see, it's just armor stands

It never ceases to amaze me how people figure out the exploits involving manipulating the games code by playing the actual game in such a precise way.

Here before this gets popular...

Love this video, but where's the love for 96 exit?

The credits warp in this game is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen in all of speedrunning.

I enjoy sharing some of the extreme glitches and explains them to my family, thanks! (They listen because they know I study video games and how they work.)

"Just how good was this run? I'll let you decide from his reaction" *"EAT A SAAAAAAAW"*

Yo I know that not a lot of people are going to see this, if any, but I just wanted to say that I love these videos, they’re so entertaining and that you should keep making them. Much love and respect towards you.

Summoning Salt began as just your average speedrun history video, but now I tremble at the sound of the name "Matt Turk" because of these videos, along with some of the greatest music I've ever heard

This record progression has been amazing! Great video. I'm glad I found your channel! :-D

And now Sethbling has a sub 1 min

There was a speedrunner named Area 51? How beautifully ironic.

One thing I really love about Summoning Salt, he does every single video as though the viewer has never seen one of his videos before or knows anything about the history of speed running. Always includes 30seconds explaining speed demo archives and other sites before KZfaq. Just super professionally done videos imo, always super focused, has the perfect music for them and just makes each and every story interesting.

Possibly my favourite thing about speedrun progression videos is the relentless cycle of discovery and optimization. Someone discovers a trick to get through the game faster. Everyone practises for weeks, months, or years, shaving minutes and seconds and fractions of seconds off the time until it's about as low as it can get. Then someone discovers a new trick that changes the whole landscape of the run, and the cycle begins anew. I love it.

5/2/2019 O RECORDE TÁ COM O BRASIL RAPAZIADA, SETHBLING O KRL

10:43 we need to raid Area 51 we NEED this skill tech

Back then, there was no Twitch. Nobody streamed their attempts of a game live, but rather recorded them onto a VHS tape and uploaded their finished runs onto a website. One of the biggest names at the time was Scott Kessler. One of his most famous runs was his Super Mario World run. Accomplished on April 28, 2004, it did what so many other runs of the time did, amaze people. Even though a few sections were a bit sloppy, it was still amazing to see this so well-known game be completely destroyed by someone. For the next few months, Kessler and another player, Lucid Faia, went back and forth with the record. Each run that Kessler and Lucid Faia had done had been executed slightly better than the previous one. Ultimately though, Kessler would remain on top, getting an 11:10 in July of the same year. Years passed and nobody could beat Kessler's 11:10. (The audio captions were sort of bad in the introduction, here's the corrected one. Compare with your script?)

Currently, Furious has the record with a 41 second 22 millisecond run.

Sethbling beat the record again to under a minute

"eu resetei o timer velho, nao acredito!"

I'm just going to throw this out there as this is my speed game but not my category, and even though I really enjoy the content you make, you've gotten much better with time and this one is feeling just a little dated. It'd be awesome if you did a history on the 96 exit category, and the people who run it would be more than willing to help you you out with any details, I can pretty much guarantee that. There's so many cool tricks to talk about. People complain that the cape makes things dull sometimes, but there's plenty of things that only happen with its help, Morton Fly and Zips to name a few. Just poke into the discord and talk to pretty much anyone, they're all cool but dots, dolphins, and bramz all have pretty insane knowledge and experience in the game and are around a lot. If not 96, NCNSW is another good choice, and has a bunch of different tricks since the cape is foregone. I hope you consider it as this game is just great and I'd like to see your take on some more of the history.

Furious: "what the fuck?! I reseted the timer, man! I dont believe It!"

A bit of criticism: These videos would be better if they focused more on the differences in execution rather than just the final times, and if they gave a better rundown of the route and difficult areas, rather than just the major discoveries.This video and the Mario 64 one spend a lot of time re-watching Mario vs Bowser fights repeatedly and saying names and times. To me, skills are way more interesting than names and times.

Super mario sunshine?

12:59 - "I reset the timer dude, I can't believe!" That's what he said.

I don't watch speed runs, why do I I find this so entertaining
