Pokémon Snap - Any% Speedrun World Record History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- Originally, on the 10th anniversary of the first documented Pokémon Snap speedrun, two friends would collaborate to make a video detailing the history of this underrated speed game. The idea morphed into what ultimately became this UA-cam channel.
Our goal is to tell the stories behind smaller speed games and categories, told by the runners themselves. We've improved our craft over the past year, and decided to revisit our first video. It's been edited from its original version to update visuals, fix factual errors or mistakes, and to pick up where the previous story left off.
You can see the original video here: • Pokémon Snap Any% Spee...
All of our interviews are uploaded HERE: • Speed Docs Interviews

Edits and Corrections:
@18:25, we missed a video that needed to be scaled up. Whoops
@18:40, the lower third says Lvon 21:01, but it's supposed to be 20:57 as the splits show. Drogie was the one with a 21:01, just before

You're different from Summoning Salt.
He focuses on in depth strategies while you have interviews with the speedrunners.
I like your style a lot.
Keep it up
They're both very good I'm glad I gave this guy a chance
Yo this is true, it reminds me of the Smash Documentary. Its really awesome to hear from the players themselves
salt does that a bit more now
I love the interviews with the speedrunners, makes these videos stand out from the others like it.
That's what we strive for :) the interviews will be posted in their entirety on our separate channel Speed Docs Interviews (link in the description) as soon as I can get them processed and uploaded
Mankey snipe being a new trick blows my mind.
I used to to that on the year of release to try getting to the end of that course faster.
john sans I was literally gonna comment something similar to this!
Crazy, same here!
Yeah, my dumb ass couldn't get passed the second world of Paper Mario and even I realized that if you just chuck pester balls over the hill, you'll hit Mankey to speed things along.
One of my favorite things about the speed running community is the friendly competition and rivalries, like Spark and RaikerZ. Very wholesome
Iv been making the joke that I speed run Snap. Had no idea it was an actual thing. Just assumed you couldnt do it on a rail game.
You wouldn't be the first person to think that, but it's a really interesting speedrun. We're hoping to change/open people's minds about it :)
Whoops! Sometimes you look at something for so long, you miss some obvious mistakes. Check the Description for Edits/Corrections!
You still missed a few, though.
@@rawr51919 I'm sure i missed few things.... I'll be updating it in time
@@SpeedDocs I caught the other ones for you already so you don't have to.
Hey good on you for making corrections though, most dot
Liam is a monster, he's 4th place now in sm64 and has gotten wr pace runs every couple days. Didn't know he run this game and seeing his gameplay from sm64 doesn't surprise me how fast he improoved in this one. Nice vid
Liam is pretty crazy, yeah. He was like top 10 in under 2 weeks from the first time he ever played the game. He can learn and implement faster/better than any other speedrunner I've ever seen
Underrated content creator making great content. Keep up the great work!
You have earned yourself another sub. I've watched a number of your videos and the quality is just getting better and better. Thank you for your hard work and well researched videos. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks! We're still getting our footing, but we're getting better with each project
Edward Evans +1 on this, 100% my thoughts too
"Welcome back!" Lol.
Rewatched this remaster and gave it a like because this channel deserves it! Love your speed docs
Saw the original upload and glad it's now here. Keep up the good work everyone!
A lot has happened since the original vid came out, and it just made sense to remake it like this
@@SpeedDocs It's a good video for a good game
Wow. First sub 22 minute run was 21 seconds under 22. Thats a jump
So well made, definitely subscribed!
Ahh, Pokemon Snap. I have so much damn nostalgia for this incredible game. It was just so much fun playing this as kid, trying to discover all the secrets and the hidden Pokemon. This really was an incredible experience for me at that age (I'd have been about nine).
cant wait for New Pokemon Snap speedruns 💗
i remember playing this at a relative's house as a kid, it's an interesting game, though i doubt i'd play it seriously today
Loving these videos man. Just found you a few hours ago, and am going through the speed docs playlist. Keep it up!
noticed at about 9:10 the banner says 22:19 instead of 22:14. just in case y'all didn't know yet!
Was disgusted to see your sub count, this video is seriously top notch for the genre, would be criminal to not see the sub counts rise in coming months. Best of luck, keep it up!
Really cool documentary.
I always enjoy watching these world record progression videos
I got here in a flash (camera). Thank you for all the hard work you and CJ do, CC.
Keeto, you are always here supporting lol. We appreciate it
Thanks for your hard work once again CC!
Your videos are excellent, man! You present both the evolution of the strats and the times in a very concise and professional manner. I'm sure you'll have a lot more subscribers and views in no time.
Not many WRs are achieved during a race, but Drogie's 20:43 was one of them.
Protoman5 vs Lvon race was one of the closest races in a video game speedrun.
Since the video was released, LiamKings (now known as Liam) achieved the 120-star WR in Super Mario 64, but has since been broken by Simply.
ArghMyToast played Pokemon Snap any% during the first 12 Hour Challenge.

I love it! Thank you so much for this video 😊
snap is such a great laid back game
I love you, discount Summoning Salt. :)
Haha. I was thinking that. This reminded me of Summoning Salt. I was already subbed to him now I am to this channel too. Good stuff. Well made.
@@LMTR14
I would be pretty upset at what you said if he didn't deserve it. I can't hate. Well played.
I lost 7.5 seconds on Mew and I crashed into Metapod: thug life
The interviews are so interesting!
Holy fk, snap is such a nostalgia trip for me. I haven’t played this shit since release. Pretty much my first reminder of this game just currently happened with this video lol. Thanks for the good video bud.
Good job on this video! I had absolutely no idea anybody ran this game before watching this. I also found out another thing I never knew before watching this.. I had no idea the North American version of this game released the day I was born! Lol, keep up the great work, I look forward to watching any future videos!
Hindsight is 20/20 but I swear I figured out the mankey snipe when i was a kid haha
Same. For me it was just to make sure i hit it and had the most chances to hit it
ill be back in 2041 when the history off new pokemon snap speedrunning gets shared like this
If we're still around, we'll probably write that video too!
This is one of the best speedrunners video's explaination I ever seen. Amazing job guys.

great channel man! subscribed!
Grate Video mate
28:22 - 28:50 I find it delightful how excited speedrunners get! "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?"
I'm a huge sports fan, and I was paying homage to Al Michaels call during the 1984 Miracle on Ice. It was more paying tribute to something I love, than actually being over the top excited -- CJ
@@SpeedDocs still delightful! The passion for the game (video and sport alike)
aye, time for round 2
The "Shirtless grinding" comment got me
had you asked me 'are there any N64 games youd consider impossible to speedrun?' i think pokemon snap would definitely be in the top spot...yet here i am watching this video lol
This game was so damn addictive. Still cannot believe they let Wii U die without using the tech for the ultimate pokemon snap!
Fun fact: This is a video
Yes ! A new Summoning Salt vid... WAIT
There's a new kid in town
@@SpeedDocs and you are highly appreciated :)
I mean, those times are just BEGGING to be brought just sub-20 D=
Right now, it doesnt seem possible without a new glitch or trick -- CJ
Quality video!
Great video
Dude how do you not have more subs? This is criminal..
Share with your friends!
Knowing Nintendo, New Pokemon Snap is gonna be extensively playtested just so there is no speed tech at all.
Gotta snap'em all
huh i used to do mankey spank back when just to see if i could... then kept doing it to keep throw skill up
If you want to be great at anything, it consumes you. Just make sure it makes you money.
I wonder if similar things are going to happen once NEW Pokemon Snap is out. We won't be gassing any Pokemon most likely
29:30!
That´s what I call a Quophy collection!
Why do you do this to me
Another error spotted in even the remaster. The on-screen graphic for one of Spark's runs says 22:19, but the voiceover (and the splits) say 22:14.
And another. Drogie's 20:52 in the video was announced as a 20:53.
Colton Rushton I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s not a big deal, dude. I think you can relax
@@austinpedersen Ye, but I might as well help the channel out by pinpointing them.
When it comes to speedrunning, every single millisecond is a big deal! Good looks on pointing out these errors!
@@1122markj Sure is. I figured I'd go over it with a fine-toothed comb and scope for errors, and this is what I found.
great video Summoning Pepper!
Can we get Pokemon snap 2 for switch come onnnnnnn guuuuyyyysss
something something cut Pokemon
your wish came true
I can’t wait till someone does this style but does newer video games like hollow knight/cup head/ Mario odyssey. I love the speed run doc genre but there are speedrun games with history beyond the n64!
Keep an eye out for hollow knight ;P
also, why I still hate the saying of no vid, no did.
Does anyone know what happened to arghmytoast?
He doesn't stream too much anymore, but he's around! -- CJ
excellent content. Not so excellent math xD 31:38
Came to the comments to say this ^
Oh did I say 4 minutes instead of 3? Whoops lol
I'm still not convinced you can actually speedrun Pokémon Snap
24:02 minus 4:27 = 20:35 POG
are you interested in making world record castle crashers documentary ? Ill gladly help you out with info from 2009 and funds :)
DM us on discord! CCNeverender#2113
Comment here or send us a DM and we'll talk about it, if you're serious
Discord thatchbro#2104. Im sure we can cooperate an amazing speed doc. Hope to hear from you
I can't find Lvon playing arms
Same..... I blame his work schedule though
Fun Fact: This is a Video 👍
31:39 das a big ol oopsie right there
I am surprised this isn't a higher rated comment.
As years went by Nintendo makes amazing Pokémon games for the Franchise, However it would be nice if they make another Pokémon snap for the Nintendo switch
Pokemon fans have been dreaming of snap 2 for nearly 20 years.
It would be amazing with the controller movement mechanics with the switch too
And not on rail, but first person. Omg
boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
What is the coinflip in the middle of the run ?
Keep watching, its explained pretty well
@@SpeedDocs I watch it all 100% before asking, haha I am sorry English is not my first language. :) Maybe it was said too fast or something? I don't know how I missed it, also at the end in the tournament when one competitor writes something blaming RNG.... I assume is the same thing but can't understand what thing is :S
The coin flip in the run is whether or not runners will get a cloyster to appear in River. It's something like a 57% chance to appear, and not getting cloyster loses 30 seconds
@@SpeedDocs Wow thanks! I definitely miss that! I thought they were saying Closer, no Cloyster. Thanks!
Pokemon Snap was NOT the first game with 3D pokemon. That was Pokemon STADIUM 7 1/2 months earlier!
Technically correct, but that game was never released outside of japan. For the rest of the world, this was the first time
Wow I forgot about Pokémon capture I haven’t played since I was 6 I’m 24 now
How the fuck is this not on the Switch
It may be ported, but possibly not. The reason why there is no Pokemon Snap 2 is because the company behind most of it www.softnica.com/index.html moved into a different industry. It now teaches game design and contracts out their employees to companies rather than be a developer firm.
You got your wish (kind of)
why apples at mew instead of pesterballs?
Pester balls have a gas animation that can cause lag because of the particle effects. Realistically, you could do either one, but we often choose just to use apples
@@SpeedDocs So there's no time gain there? When I was playing casually as a kid I thought pester balls broke Mew's orb faster.
No, theres functionally no difference
Thank you for the replies, info and great content.
@@timidgiantartpeter7769 you're welcome, and thanks for watchin :)
Hahaha "Im Free!"???
He couldnt quit until he got wr lol
3:15 Proof that anime helps you get PBs!
Record's 20:32 now :o what was discovered?
Momentum slowed down for a while, but Gunlap's record is just really optimized. Improving on quo's 20:35, gunlap used some new lag reduction strats to get the edge. We're kind of at the end of the road for optimization though
I dont get why u slam that control button faster its like u put pressure ur gas button in car games and think its go faster .
To unlock rainbow cloud you have to snap the special pics in each stage

The fact that your name is CCNEVERENDER and you didn't nod whatsoever on ArghMyToast getting a 21:13 makes me sad ;) lol
A missed opportunity!
@@SpeedDocs Truly! Glad quarantine led me to the content, you guys do great! Looking forward to Hollow Knight :D
9:10 You say the time 22;14 but the speedrun time in the video is 22;19?
20:24 The screen and the splits show a 20;52 but you read a 20;53 out loud
How do u speed run a game that its at a set pace automatically?
It's not
@@SpeedDocs I owned the game when I was young. Its been a while but can u speed up the track u are on or is it based on picture perfection?
I am so confused this is just the same as 100%
In 100% you have to take pictures of all 63 Pokemon. In Any%, if you maximize your points, you can get away with taking pictures of 41. There is also more run killing RNG in 100% than there is in Any%.
Ok, speedy documents.
neglecting studies -_-
31:37 just 3 minutes and 27 seconds but who's counting?
Is there a world record for not beating this game while trying too 😂😂😂😂😅 15yrs+
The pidgeon trick at the start is kind of a glitch.
RYKER ZEEEEEE RYKER ZEEEEE RYKER ZEEEE RYKER ZEEEE RYKER ZEEEE
Seriously, you don't have to say people's names over and over and over again. And you also don't have to dramatically increase your volume when you say them.
Good videos though, I've been watching all of them. Keep them coming.
2:39 ...well, duh.
Either you love snap or you absolutely hate it, I'm in the former
5:00 "speed and erection"
Pro tip:
Do NOT put speedrunning over your education. Sure you can earn money by speedrunning if you're having a moderately big fan base but if that option disappears and you failed your clas(ses) your life devolves into an Any% instead of a 100%.
Lol true
SA/LF Control man, it’s college. Dropping out or “taking a break” to pursue a passion/dream is what it’s all about. Pursue it, and hopefully it works out. If it doesn’t...you can always just re enroll my guy.
My guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy my guy!!!!!
@@AllFormsElectronic
That's a multisegmemt run though, everyone knows only single segment runs get approved.
Okay that made me laugh lol -- CJ
So basicly who can quite the level fastest lol
Not quite, since you have to take RNG and very efficient resource management into account.
@@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa no you just need skills you noob
10:43 thank me later XD
why would i thank you for linking Japanese being faster
@@smoceany9478 WELCOME BACK
@@JulesColour what
oh
Imagine if speedrunners dedicated this time to a skill. They would be making 6 figures easily
4:59 you definitely said erection
And the graphics are on par with Sword & Shield. Modern Gamefreak is pathetic
It's not Pok E mon. It's Pokémon!! (Poke EH mon). I fail to understand how so many people say the E like it's just saying the letter! Wtf!?>@#$%&!? Especially since the English localization went to the trouble of making sure the title had the dash above the " é " so people would say it correctly! And also always said it correctly in the anime.
Quite ya whining ya baby nobody cares lol
Dude. I know that nobody cares! That's the problem!
Considering that é isn't a thing in the English language... I'd say they didn't do a great job of making it easy or obvious
