      I reckon one year he should just go through his list normally with no reference to SMB2. He just goes past everything and onto the "more dunkey" endscreen before cutting to black...
      then there's nothing...
      more nothing...
      nothinnnnnnnng....
      then he goes "ACTUALLY MY NUMBA ONE IS SUPER MARIO BROTH-" then the video just ends, abruptly cutting him off halfway through his sentence.

      @K Zoo me watching my retarded brother play:
      Twenty minutes of random shooting and hoping to land a bullet.
      Bullet doesn't land.
      You have to move the screen instantly and drastically.
      Technically you memorize steps and can play the game with eyes closed.
      Building height concludes and its about who shoots the shotgun first.
      He literally wasted twenty minutes of his life building virtual walls to have his head gunned down.
      Game's a weird flex of minecraft and PUBG, but ok.
