Best thing about Arcus runs is I can watch with my 4 year old and not have to worry about him spewing profanity every 5 seconds. My son lives original Nintendo games now thanks in part to these.
As in my gaming times(these days I got rid forever of speedrunning) I say:A speedrun is defined at the very end,you can do the worst sections along the way but the section that really matters is the last one,just that is enough to say if you will upload a video or not
I love watching you play all these NES games. Takes me back to my childhood. A much happier and simple time. Not just because I was a child but because the 80s were a fun decade. Much love Arcus keep up the PBs...
Incredible run! I remember the first time I beat the game without warping. I was 9 years old. I was so excited! I felt so accomplished. I told my sister, and she didn't care. I'm still proud of my accomplishment.
The mechanics and secrets in these games were so awesome. You had to have Nintendo Power magazine to know them. But still, they were so fun. Watching you brings back memories. Thank you, sir!
Great speedrun, as usual. I sooo wish they'd do an actual sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2. Not SMB 3, or anything else that came after, but another Super Mario Bros. game with THIS style of gameplay, enemies, settings, etc. Like, SMB 2 2. :D
I’d not mind seeing that. Or just something else as fresh and original as this was compared to the first. And yes I know the origins of it and why it was this way. 😁
I thought he was saying, "blarg," until I saw that little picture of ninja gaiden slashing birdo with, "blark!" right there next to the picture. Now I just need the proper spelling of clunk. Qlunk?
*Great job. If I can figure out a way to cheat and teleport to the end credits from the title screen, I'll be the best SMB2 player according to speedrunners.*

If I was playing these games, I’d be spewing obscenities.
What I love about Arcus Speedrunning is he doesn't reset with every imperfection. Its always entertaining to see a game played through to the end.

Gotta show to do on a time budget. It is soothing though. On many occasions I lost my chill playing these games back then.
He is the Bob Ross of speed running, happy little mistakes do not phase him
Oh he does it with Ninja Gaiden. He's bent on getting that WR and he's been working hard on it! I hope he gets it, too!

The 80s were awesome.
I don't care what game it is. Its always entertaining seeing someone who has mastered a game

I’m proud of you
I remember the days when I used to think I beat this game fast. And then UA-cam existed.
Perfect way to end the night!
Agreed!
Or start the day :)
Love your channel, Arcus!!!
love watching Arcus run this game! under rated category and im stoked to see him grow in it
Was wondering the other day: "there hasn't been a new Arcus video in a while; hope he's OK." And clunk - the man himself.
Good clunk
That rhymed 👍
He’s on that Ninja Gaiden grind!
He's on just about every day on Twitch. Like TheMattmatic said above me, Arcus is focusing on Ninja Gaiden again.

Good thing Arcus did all levels. I have never seen world 5 before. I usually warp past it without thinking. Thanks sir!
Man this was such a good game back in the day. Love seeing all the levels
Always a pleasure watching you play 👌
Funny, simple and relaxing. You’ve got a new subscriber
I loved this game could walk through it as a kid I have fired it back up recently and it’s harder than I remembered.
Doki doki Panic! Marvelous to see all the levels for a change, thanks. Total control in all levels, superb! Clunk
I was aware of a COUPLE glitches in this game, but that run was bonkers. This was like a Master Class in SMB2 speedrunning. Damn, son.
Great PB Arcus! COOLKID would be proud!
The cruelty of this game: when you think you did pretty well...
No bonus
This is one of the best NES play-throughs I've 👀 seen 👍 fast run 😎 🍄 🏰 spin 🚪
Great speedrun, as usual.

I needed this tonight
Nice speedrum arcus friend ✌️✌️✌️
Amazing
that layout is freakin beautiful, man
Fun to watch this especially the first couple of keyless door warps. I always wondered what they did to Wart off screen when the sparks fly.
Great run, man!!!!
Good playing arcus!
Great run
Juste incroyable. Moi je dis bravo. Ce chapeau est magique 😉
Quel talent, bien joué 👍
watch out coolkid, arcus is gunnin for ya
I just love the end music. 👍
Congrats!! :)
Thought this said SMB3, as soon as I heard the music I knew it was even better!
10 year old me thanks you for making this game look like a warm up
That was really good blarg…!
Amazing dude 👏
I always had this feeling you live in AZ. Especially the vid where you hear cicadas!!! I'm In Tucson AZ
Well done
Great choice.
Unreal athlete.
the masked enemy riding the Ostrich was the predecessor to mario and yoshi i think
Oh yeah.... Perfect start for saturday👌
Hay my favorite speedrunner and my favorite Mario game.
Your amazing are you trying to speedrun every single nes game or something because you've definitely ran alot of games
Blasting through my childhood at the speed of a Light Blaster. 😂
3:48 that was a really good bzzzzttt
Does Arcus ever has his heartrate over 100 bpm? He is insanly calm!
that was a really good bzzzzt.
What hardware do you use for your gaming? Original on old school tv, usb avs with flash cart, or NT mini? Thanks!
Reset..reset…smash…mash…klunk..mmm..mmm…MMOOOO - Arcus 2022 🤠 👢 👢
Insane! I’ve played this game so much. Guess I ain’t as good as I thought. Haha
Liquid salt made me happy. Thank you. I was very unhappy.
What the hell just happened at 8:16... Crazy skills!
Nice, I am just curious, why didn't you use tha princess, you could've just flew through to get tha world record, no ?
It's there a massive time difference between mario 2 NES speedrun (Luigi only) over the all-stars mario 2 speedrun?
Toad doing half the work.
Personal Best was an early 80’s Mariel Hemingway movie about lesbian runners.
I'm 37 and I thought I knew all the secrets in this game already. MY MAN IS GLITCHING THE GAME!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 IM going to watch l of this
How do you even start to find these glitches like this?💯💯
That was a really good bzzzzzzzzt. Good clunk.
Never understood why if Wart hated vegetables so much then why did he have a machine in front of him that constantly spit them out?
I forget what that ROM hack redbook audio scene is called but, be hilarious to do that with your hum songs.
Does the alien buff guy on Out of This World say MyTooba? Or Mike Aruba?
good blark
I thought he was saying, "blarg," until I saw that little picture of ninja gaiden slashing birdo with, "blark!" right there next to the picture. Now I just need the proper spelling of clunk. Qlunk?
I love you man, you are so cool!!!!!!!!
How do you know what character to pick for each stage
Nice 🏃♂️
This guy rules lol.
That's some mighty fast gaming, are you going to try for 25:30?
me- spends 4 hours on a game
Arcus- 25:40... sheesh
I didn't know you could kill birdo with a star. Good job.
get yourselves ready, this man will make it to the WR and we'll enjoy it!
He isn’t even aiming for the WR
Instalike, been missing seeing your videos.
Doopey dopey doo.... I used to say the same thing when I played this in the 80s.
thanks for the GG......
gg
Days
Taking a look at Zelda's Game and Watch, I was thinking that Nintendo should've included this game on the Mario Game and Watch
Wizards and warriors 3 🙏

Aaaaanddd Clunk...!
This game looked dark to me as a kid. It has some sordid stuff.
...aaaaannnddddd CLUNK
Have a nice day everyone.
Nice clunk
Brasil...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
this game reminds me a lot of a Famicom game called Doki Doki Panic
yee hawwwwwwwww. ridin' peaches peach cowboooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Kind of like this guy....
But would like to see him to do a slow playthru of a Mario game
You can save a little time on the bertos by standing on their head
No he cant, because you have to set up the toss back, and catching then turning then tossing is a motion that costs frames
Egg bastard was so difficult :(
I thought cool kid only did meganan?
This is my favorite game to have running in the background. The music is too catchy and changes about the time I get bored
My boyfriend arcus😍
What are the chances that Phen123 reads this comment?
I beat this game when I got it.
