Truly the best speedrunning community I have ever been a part of. Thank you everyone for this journey, and may we break this game in other spectacular ways in the future!

You're the guy!
Love that you’re still rocking that pfp
Some clarity about time ending on the spinning D of The End, it was an archaic leftover from how Japanese speedrunning was back then. Whereas SDA and its mostly English speaking community timed up to things like last hit on the final boss or last input or in game time regardless and didn't consider the credits as part of the run, Japanese communities usually included credits in their speedrun times as well. By the time us Americans got interested in single segment runs of SPM, the Japanese community had established the D as a consistent end point for runs, and we went along with it mostly due to the mass of text after the final boss needed to be mashed through throwing ambiguity on the American systems of last hit or last input, and it was just easier to follow what methods the current fastest times were doing. I'm pretty sure it made sense back then since the in game time of a completed save file included credits anyway, which hit all birds with one stone for that era of timing.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I don't remember who decided on the timer stop timing in Japan, but at the time, the timer stop timing for other Mario RPG series RTA was the end of the ending, so I think they decided to make it the same as that.
In those days, the person who ran first set the timer start timing and stop timing, and everyone followed it unless there was a serious inconvenience.
Maybe it was me.🥴
heyyy youre that person who did the severed speedruns ! thats cool :)
Just found out my favorite childhood game, that I thought was un-speedrun-able, has a 2 hour documentary full of exploits I've never ever heard of.
I can't wait to watch this later oh my god
Thanks to this comment i now know that the video is 2 hours long
Did you watch it?
if it exists, it can be speedran
Did you really think a Nintendo game wouldn’t get exploited to hell?
I play this game every few years as tribute to my childhood
"The black sheep of the paper mario series"
Maybe until Sticker Star and subsequent paper marios came out, then it got firmly embraced as part of the classic paper marios.
To be honest? i dont think most people consider those as the same series, its a huuuuge disconnect from the games before.
@@FatalHog Facts. I refuse to even call those games "Paper Mario". They're the "Sticker Mario" games.
Agreed. Though, even if Super Paper Mario failed to be a good Paper Mario game (at the time at least lol) it was one of the best *Super Mario* games thanks to the sheer creativity that you simply don't get in the Mushroom Kingdom + being a Platformer RPG. That combination of genres is seriously cool to me and I feel is a very untapped genre that failed to catch on. Might be because I'm stupid but I haven't seen anything like Super Paper Mario ever before or ever since. Or maybe because "Platformer with stats" leans itself better towards the Metroidvania or sidescroller action RPG (where you go whacking things around) rather than stomping on the head of your enemies
I consider Super "That weird, but decent spin off" to the two Paper Mario games.
@@nicocchi You know, that's honestly the best way to put it. 64 and TTYD are "Super Mario RPG, but with a paper theme". Super is literally "Super Mario the platformer, but with a paper theme and some rpg bits". Sticker is when Nintendo decided to double, triple, and quadruple down on the word "Paper", with "Mario" as an afterthought. Color was a little better, but not much.
And Origami, is when they remembered that MEMORABLE CHARACTERS AND GOOD WRITING is what makes an RPG, and if they're determined to have LOL PAPER™ be the direction of the series, it's the closest we're ever gonna get to the OG trilogy's story quality. Plus, the "everything is paper" is actually what _drives the plot_ of Origami, rather than being ZOMG WACKY SILLINESS like Sticker/Color.
Or, to put it another way, the plot summaries of all six games (Paper Jam is a M&L game, not a PM game)...
64: "Bowser wants to use the power of wishing stars to rule the world"
TTYD: "An entirely new faction of baddies wants to rule the world with the power of a thousand-year-old demon, and Bowser has his own agenda running alongside"
Super: "Romeo and Juliet, except Romeo decides he's gonna destroy the multiverse when he thinks Juliet is gone forever"
Sticker: "ZOMG BOWSER TOUCHED A MACGUFFIN AND MADE EVERYTHING BAD"
Color: "ZOMG BOWSER DID AN OOPSIE WITH PAINT MIXING AND MADE EVERYTHING BAD"
Origami: "An origami creation brought to life misunderstands his creator's gesture and decides he's going to origamize the world, while his sister, one of his own creations, teams up with Mario and friends to stop him"
Lets goo, thx for inspiring lets continue to push this lower and reach the next big milestones :D
Zach Link? Like the beef jerky brand?
Yea!!!!!
Ö
lol you made the video obsolete nice job
I'll pop the popcorn!
Amazing work everyone. Was an honour to be a part of it
The man himself
The legend himself
@@josephjoestar953 The madlad himself
Thank you all for being apart of this amazing community, you are all the inspiration behind this video. We couldn’t have gotten this far with out you. Thank you.
:D
@Kohltergeist thank you so much!!
This is an amazing and well-put-together video, through and through. As someone who made a document-type video before, this isn't easy to do. It takes a lot of time and energy to research, script write, record, edit, and refine. And this video is TWO HOURS LONG! Amazing job to JCR and Flash and huge shoutouts to the entire SPM community. You guys deserve this video and deserve for this video to blow up.
look at it now! it's not so small anymore huh?
@@cats9994 it's at 400K now. Might even reach the millions in 2022 lol
this is one of my favourite UA-cam videos of all time!
Thank you!!
(As of April 5th, 2023) LET'S GO! WE GOT A MILLION VIEWS!!! SUPER PROUD OF EVERYONE THAT HELPED OUT WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THIS! CONGRATS ON THE MASSIVE MILESTONE! YOU GUYS DESERVE IT!
Same day the Mario movie came out too 😭😄

Andrick: SPM sucks
Damn best 2 hours on UA-cam ever
Or twitch or whatever
Me: so what do you wanna watch
Gf: something interesting
Me:
Great movie, finished on my own time🗿
Even tho im not an SPM speedrunner, I've seen it all and I am so proud of how far the spm community has come. From the first man MrGuy (one of my proud indian brothers) who pioneered this game to the current awesome top runners such as Zach, Castle, Igrmi, and many other up and coming runners I admire, words cannot describe how happy I am of the community. It was shown through this that there was so much effort, love, and commitment throughout this video and the grind that im so happy it will get the attention it deserves. Love you JCR and NM and hope the SPM community can keep doing great things!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
I'm glad I joined the pm & SPM community a year ago you guys feel like a found family :)
I am not a speed runner. I do not watch speed runs, I do not intend on watching speed runs. I don't even watch SGDQ.
But I watch speed running history videos all the time, because I honestly do not believe there is any other trend, more beautiful on UA-cam than this.
A person, or group of people who get together to make a video chronicling their own history and presenting it to the world.
Think about it, how often do you get documentaries predominantly made by the people who are doing the thing they are talking about?
They know no one else will talk about it, gaming blogs or news etc. So they do it themselves.
And everytime a video does well, I feel warm inside.
And I can only hope the effort you put into this video is also rewarded.
Thank you.
Thank you so much!!! We wanted to make this video reflect the amazing history. Thanks for watching and enjoying :)
Beautiful documentary. I haven't ran this game in a hot minute and I've just been watching from the sidelines for the past year, so pretty much everything Dottie Skip and later just blows my mind. I'm super proud of this community for how far they have pushed this game and also for being one of the greatest speedrunning communities I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of 💜
Y'all made a whole-ass movie about a game I thought would've been a terrible speed game. Looks like I was dead wrong lol
This is one of the best world record progression videos I've ever seen. Massive props to you guys for making this, and to the SPM community in general for it's many achievements. Hoping this video blows tf up, you guys deserve it
thanks Jonah :) means a lot!
I hope you too blow up as well, your content is great!
Agreed there’s so much work put into this video and into the speedruns
When my son was 3, he instinctively did that one cycle frack tail skip thing. I couldn’t believe it, and was certain he’d be some amazing speed runner when he got older.
He’s 15 now and he’s most certainly not. Nothing of the sort 😂
It was great being able to watch the documentary in its entirety. Thank you for allowing me to help be a part of this. Looking forward to seeing where this run goes.
This is truly one of the best WR docs out there. Great job Flash, Nick, and Riley. Glad I could be a part of it!
For years ive been asking where the 100% tas was from malleo, turns out mario kart TASs are entertaining
One of the best docs I've seen. Congratulations on all your community's achievements! Can't wait to see the runners push this game even further.
No one is rlly talking about this but the music placement in the video is really good. Nice editing.
Glad you liked it we listed them all in a document in the description!
I don't quite know how I ended up here, but this is an amazing documentary.
We’re glad you liked it :)!!
This is literally my favourite game I cannot wait to see it get snapped over a guardrail.
Super Paper Mario will always be my favorite Paper Mario game.
58:36 Fun Fact, that's not Murphy's Law, that's Murphy's Law being observed in regards to Finagle's Law. Murphy's Law is "If it can be misused, someone will misuse it."
Interesting!! I didn’t realize the context for this quote
More specifically, it's "if there's a right to do something and a wrong way to do something, and doing it the wrong way results in catastrophic failure, someone WILL do it the wrong way".
This video was great, you made it sound even better when you used the summoning salt theme song (home were finally landing) at 1:34:52
Didn't expect Summoning Salt stuff in in this video but he is a really good channel
So what I learned is, don't sell gold bars, they'll get me past scanners. I shall consume this knowledge, great video!
you could say that OoB clip was worth its wait in gold
this is a great video! fantastic pacing, lots of excitement, an excellent host, amazing guests, and slamming music!
i really love spm and im really glad the speedrunning community has been documented in this incredibly engaging video!
LOL. nice one :D also thank you so much!! we're glad you enjoyed it so much :)
that skip was a pure gold
Dude, this seems a Netflix documentary film. This is my favourite Mario game and my third favourite game and I thought I knew everything about it, of course I forgot to know about its community, which obviously didn't disappoint me. It was incredible to watch this 2 hours video and to know all that you have achieved in this amazing game. Congrats to the speedrunners, to the glitch hunters, to all the people who made this video and to every SPM fan, the most underrated Paper Mario game, overshadowed by TTYD. I would like to express my thankfulness more but it doesn't matter how much I write, there's no words to tell how I feel right now.
Thanks bloxtorm :D we worked really hard on the video hoping to catch even a glimpse of how awesome this community is. Glad to see you enjoyed it so much!
@@nmflash8 Thanks to you all, because you really have done what you wanted to do by far. Whenever you think you could have done something better, you will be totally wrong.
Everyone: _talking about how well-researched and informative the video is_
Me: "ok but can we talk about how they _flawlessly recreated_ the exact style of the chapter cards and storybook intro"
this was actually ripped straight out of the game by GlitchPHD then we added our own text! major shoutouts to him!
@@nmflash8 ...I mean, I probably would've done it that way, too. Still a great thematic addition to the video, reminds me of how Noclip's documentary on Outer Wilds did the 22-minute gag with the actual video footage 🤔
Yep! Actually all I did for the storybook intro was nuke the entire fontset in the game so it had no text, then just added in the text and noise in a video editor. The chapter cards I honestly got lucky with, multiple project files and somehow a simple removal of the black background color made the effect you saw in the video. Figured it was gonna be more work but nah. Lucky moments in editing. 😅 Glad you enjoyed it!
It's weird how everyone always mentions that Paper Mario fans hate this game, but all I ever see in comment sections is support and love for SPM.
Like many cult classics, the dislike for it has fallen off pretty heavily and appeal for it has grown from better exposure
Mostly the reviews are mixed
But I do see more positive than negative responses
I love it, prefer 64 and TYOD, but still love SPM.
It is the ones after SPM I despise. But did hear Origami King did have some improvements. Might try it.
Its flaws were greatly exaggerated. Now more people are seeing how good it really is
I know that it probably would've happened regardless, but the events described at 1:39:49 and onwards feel like an Heisenberg Principle of speedrunning documentaries. Flash announced that he was gonna make this video, and everyone jumped into VC to discuss that. Which meant that when Igrmi posted his find, you were all primed and ready to act. The mere fact that this video was in production affected how quickly the true potential of Gold Bar Clipping was found. The documentary affected the documented.
I literally laughed out loud when We’re Finally Landing started playing.
I haven’t watched the video yet but I feel compelled to say that Super Paper Mario is a fucking masterpiece
*Super Paper Mario style chapter open plays*
Me, struck in the childhood:
That Gold Bar Clipping montage is so well-done, I've rewatched it like 12 times at this point.
Shout outs to GlitchPHD he helped out with a lot of those amazing edits!
Hey thanks! I really appreciate that. I had learned what made faster paced awesome moments great in other WR Progression videos, so I sat down and tried to figure out what would work best. Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
That montage starting at 1:41:40 is my favourite thing from this video, I don't know why but it makes me laugh so much
This might be the best UA-cam video I’ve ever seen
Mario Kart Lick at 39:58
Also, great video! I love SPM because I kind of grew up with it, it's one of my favorite games of all time.
FINALLY A SUPER PAPER MARIO TRENDING VIDEO THAT IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO WATCH FOR MOST OF MY LIFE! IVE BEEN WATING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS FOREVERRRR.
Not me about to dust off my Wii/WiiU and run around the Peach Intermission section for hours just to find a frame-perfect jump trick...
Let’s start from the beginning,
*Immediately goes through half the book in an instant*
The book as an anthology, the beginning of this story is partway through the book. Everything before is the history of other Super games
Can't think of a better background song to be used at 1:47:00. Emotional song from the game to fit an emotional moment in the community that's kept the spirit alive for so many years. The narrative of this community in general is so entertaining.
Wow this video is absolutely brilliant.
A comprehensive, well documented, excellently executed 2 hour video that is able to be interesting throughout is amazing. All of the music, commentary, and media used in this is just done so well. This is no mere video essay, it is a video textbook
thanks Panda! its been a huge project, we're glad you liked it :))
@@nmflash8 the man himself! I watched it 3 times since this comment, SPM is one of my top 10 games of all time and I'm just so happy to have seen so much passion put into it
@@pandajjams2777 Yay!! i'm glad you liked it! Yeah I made the video and I've watched it a ton :D hahaha I think I like the video more than the audiance haha
@@nmflash8 hahaha that tends to be the case, being your own biggest fan. Sorry I haven't responded cohesively! I just wanna say that you are very inspiring and wish you the best in the future :D
These speedrun documentaries always feel like I'm watching some kind of recap episode of an anime or serialized cartoon or something. And there's all these "characters" and "plot twists" I get so attached by the time it's all over. I had a lot of fun recognizing the different tricks and moments during the credits. That probably makes the credits my favorite part of the video, lol. I watched it with the same feeling I had when I saw the game's credits for the first time half my life ago.
Haha I loved watching the credits!! Glitch did such an amazing job! You should join the discord and see a lot of the runners push for better times!!
I'm in love with this documentary first because Super Paper Mario was my introduction to the series back when I had a Wii, and second because of the sheer quality of the production. Congratulations to all the runners, and thank you all for your hard work on the video! Now we have a Summoning Salt-level documentary on the Super Paper Mario speedruning history!
I've never watched an SPM run in my life - i barely know anything about the main game itself - bur I love a good WR story, and Castle's at the end, while unconventional, is outstanding. I can uncderstand the thought process - Castle had already resolved to break the 4 hour barrier before any new discoveries, and come hell or high water that was gonna happen. No "easy way", not for all the gold medals in the world - proving the mastery of the most terrifying SPM route ever known, that was the point. And by god, Castle did it.
56:34 Maybe "Lift Shift" would be a good name?
Moral of the story: If you're a top TTYD speedrunner, somehow that translates into being a great SPM speedrunner
i'm looking at you Sway
Man, knowing how crazy these kind of videos often get, I was expecting the Peach intermission sequence break mentioned at 22:53 to be revealed to be real by the end of it.
I'll be looking forward to one of the biggest games of my childhood to be broken more and more as time goes by.
It's still only a dream one day we will figure it out
best game ever
I love how a game I adored in my childhood became such a big deal in speedrunning. 😂
Fingers crossed same happens fpr Spyro 1. May have only first played it recently, but I know just from the feel its a perfect speedrunning candidate. Hoping I can 1 day record a 100% SR of my own.
I randomly got this video in my recommended and this was a spectacular video
same
Btw thanks for motivating me to play SPM for the first time. It s a really underappreciated game. Real time fighting system works way better than most people give it credit
SPM is one of, if not my favorite games in the paper mario series, but after it falling into hate and obscurity, i kinda just forgot about it, until this video popped up in my recommended! It’s honestly heartwarming remembering how good the game was and seeing the community (or at least a subsection of it) grow!
This was a great documentary
I literally did not know this game was this broken. This was a nostalgic game for me as a child. I think I’m gonna replay through the game after my finals on Wednesday and then try speedrunning the game :)
Good luck!! if you have any questions let us know!
Diamond dog.
THAT GOLD BAR CLIP INTRODUCTION WAS WILD BRB GONNA GO BOOT UP SPM ON MY WII U
Super Paper Mario was the only game I ever tried to speedrun since it’s my favorite game of all time. I wasn’t very good at it but this video was still super interesting to watch. Great job!
I'm only half way through and I have to say this is probably one of *the best* speed doc videos I've ever seen. It's clean, smooth and well put together. You bring up points for for the time and bring them up later when needed and you don't go off track. That's easy to do.
Thanks for such an entertaining video and one that's well informed too. ^^
I've put this off a few months too, so yeah this blew my expectations lol.
Thanks skylight!! we apreciate this so much, we worked on this project for a long time!
I can’t believe I never considered looking into what the SPM speedrunning scene may be like, the game means so much to me that just hearing your excellent use of its soundtrack made me feel relaxed and invested. Such a great video
There was 2 WRs posted today. 3:51
Gosh dang y'all put together a whole movie on this. Only halfway through I realized the video was 2 hours long it was so gripping.
As each progressing step happened I kept thinking there was no way it could get any better only to see the [Obsolete] Tag on the record AGAIN.
Then finally to be left with the notion that this game can STILL be improved. The determination you guys have not just for the game but as human beings is amazing.
I always felt a real deepness from this game and to see even tearing it apart had so much value was a great ride. wowie
I'm one hour in, and I just realized this whole video is two hours long. Gotta say this is a nice video to have playing while I lab fighting game combos. Good work! I'm not even done with the video and I've already enjoyed it thoroughly.
the best paper mario game
I. LOVE. THIS. TY. SO. MUCH. OMGGGGGG
1:34:44 this is the moment you know you’re watching a speed running video.
ive never watched any SPM speedrun before i found this video. This is one of the best YT videos out there, thank you for this!
Incredible! Kept me engaged for 2 hours with great commentary and amazing editing. The gold bar skip sequence was my favorite.
Shout outs to GlitchPHD For the amazing Edits!
Appreciate that very much! Glad you enjoyed everything. 🙂
How have I never heard of this channel, this game was and still is one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you UA-cam recommendations.
same here lmao
I would have never guessed that super paper mario would have speed lore. Gives me yet another reason to appreciate this game.
right?? such a beautiful game!
When you said there was still an important story to be told at the end, I was fully expecting, “This is the story of the Light Prognosticus”
This is still my favorite paper Mario game
The fact that you guys used HOME just like Summoning Salt was hilarious. Also, I love this game and I’m so proud of the SPM speedrunning community!
The compilation of pure insanity let on by Gold Bar Clipping is very motivating to get into this game. If I can get ahold of the VC, I'll.. give it a try.
If speedrunning has taught me anything, it's that absolute limits are not absolute.
Never been a part of this community but spm has a special place in my heart as my first ever video game i played as a child. Seeing this game broken to pieces and bringing it to a sub 4 hours was the best 2 hours of my life being on youtube. This was amazing
I learned how speedrunable this game was from my Friend XEmeraldWarriorX who’s actually 34th place in any%
An hour in so far, this is already a masterpiece! Probably my favorite speedrun progression video of all time
EDIT: Forget the word "probably"
I'm absolutely floored
I hope this video blows up in popularity, it deserves to
Thanks Joe!! That means a lot! :)
0:45 “Lets start from the beginning…” *Flips to the end*
1:31:02 I know you said that trick was complicated, but good God I was not ready for that
For a super paper mario fan that was the best video about this underrate game of my life
Imagine rushing through this absolute masterpiece
furryr
Are you dissing the speed runners or talking about this video
@@worrywirt9312 think it was a play on how we are speedrunners so we do things fast, except making a video, then we make it very long lol
@@worrywirt9312 I'm late but I'm fairly certain it meant the game being as fantastic as it is
funny enough that's exactly what Im doing with this video atm
what the hell...randomly searched for this and it just got uploaded?
It was fate 😂 hope you enjoyed!
NGL that music at the gold bar clipping segment was the best kind of chaotic energy ❤️ great video!
I almost feel bad about a speedrunning community dedicated to this game.... just cause of how incredible the story is and skipping though it physically hurts me
Gotta love those edits
This entire video was a joy to watch. From the humble beginnings to the amazing discoveries and runs from everyone in the community across 16 years, everyone put in their fair share of effort and made each milestone that much more exciting. At first i was unaware that this game could even be speedran, but after watching this video I am so proud of each and every single one of you for persevering no matter what setbacks stood in your way, and I look forward to seeing how much further this game can be pushed.
I wasn't expecting to see Aldelaro5 to be in this video. He was a prominent figure in the Bug Fables speedrun community.
same with The simpsons hit and run community
Very Nice Hero!
lmao I didn't expect to be mentioned in this video, shame I wasn't able to narrate any part of it but you all did a great job
Person who has never and probably will never speedrun this game here: goddamn this video was entertaining.
Yoo, this was my favorite childhood game 😄😄😄
As a child I never understood how to play paper Mario
One of the best speedrunning documentaries I've ever seen. Huge props to everyone involved.
Seriously, this is summoningsalt tier entertainment.
I loved this game growing up, didn't know the game could be broken so badly. Very entertaining video, has obvious passion put into it.
This video was absolutely incredible! Super Paper Mario is one of my favorite games ever & I just got off doing an LP of it a few months ago. I know so much about the game itself, but knew NOTHING about how speedruns were preformed. The Count Bleck softlock made my chest hurt. There was so many twists & turns and this was incredibly informative! Thank You for putting this together, and Thank You all the runners for pushing this game to its limits!
I just felt like I watched an entire movie! What a journey that was happening in the background of my life! I will always love this game because it was the first Paper Mario game that I played and the only one I liked and the only one where I beat the main story. To many gamers and other UA-camrs, the general consensus is that this game, like most of my favorite Nintendo games and other Wii/Wii U games, have been called "the black sheep," "mediocre," "bad," "terrible," "average," or just "okay." After watching this video, I am glad that I found others who think the same and have a passion for this old game, and to those gamers and UA-camrs who claimed Super Paper Mario to be just an average or an okay game at best, I hope this video finds them. Fantastic job and I have just subscribed and looking forward to new content!
