This was definitely one of the best runs I've ever seen. You have to be so skilled in all of these games. Then you have to put them all together and clutch them all out... impressive, I must say. Congrats
When I was a kid, I accidentally jump directly onto Birdo's orb and picked it up and opened the gate without killing her. I tried to replicate it for years and never could. Maybe Kosmic could figure that one out.
Don't think it's possible. Maybe you did kill her and she respawned, that happens a lot in 7-1. Or you could've killed her with a star and jumped right into the orb.
@@sippingthe you sure it was on the nes version and not GBA or something? The only way you can 100% confirm it is if you can reproduce it with video :)
Unrelated but one time I was playing street fighter 2. Dhalsim did his fire breath but instead of flames coming out of his mouth, one giant wall of flames just covered the entire screen , it was awesome. Maybe if you jump on birdo the same frame an egg becomes visible you can steal the orb from her! Lol just kidding I mean I don't really know I'm just saying that would be totally awesome I hope that happens one day. It's time to jump on birdo thousands of times and find out! lol thanks for letting me rant I love video game glitches and exploits!
@@kosmicspeedrunslol that’s funny tho, cuz I think in one of summoning salt or storster history of speedrun videos the other day we were literally discussing what I am gonna call mandela effect glitches or exploits. Oh it was summoning salts Abney video on mk64. I got confused cuz storster posted the smw 96 exit earlier too. Anyway we were talking about pretty much exactly this sort of things. Remembering or misremembering stuff and not even being sure if the thing even happened.
One thing I noticed in Wonder is that often times you had the characters in single file behind you, all performing the same actions, just a little bit later. It made me wonder if that's more like DKC the CPU characters follow you in single player. Otherwise, I don't see much reason for Mario to do a ground pound on a stack of enemies, and then everyone else behind him do the same ground pound.
I'd be super interested to see what kind of time could be achieved if it was some as a relay with best in the world speedrunners at each game (Niftski does SMB1, you do SMB2-J, MFP does SMB3, etc.)
@@eleanorshuttleworth9346 Big fan of this and other multi-game ideas. Unfortunately, they're a bit harder on the tech crew but they already do some relay races, and extending those ideas could make for some really fun races. I will say though, at that point the hard part would be getting together all the right people to run it as a competitive relay to GDQ.
So every mario and luigi game, all 3 luigis mansions, new super luigi U, and mario is missing. And since we have a year let's 100% them... still shouldn't be to tall a task, the question is do we add any other games where as a single player you can play as luigi such as some of the NSMB games.
Congrats on a great wr. I think it's wonderful you give credit to the history of this challenge and why it holds an affinity in the mario speedrunning community. Who knows?! maybe the next Kosmic, darbian etc will be inspired to break your record.
Awesome! I mostly just watch Mitch mario 3 runs so its interesting to see just how hard it is to speedrun that game, keep P speed, etc.. This was such a cool overall display of the games and an insane broad skill set.
This is awesome. I’ve rewatched your SNES All-Stars and Mario 24 hour challenge quite a bit, so seeing how tight your SMB2U gameplay has become is really satisfying to watch. Congrats on the world record!
Honestly what I found most impressive about all this while watching is you were able to remember all the setups and tricks for all 6 games and switch between them seamlessly. I definitely could not build up the muscle memory for this.
Great run @kosmicspeedruns really enjoyed the clutch moments. I didn't realize you were as adept at the other Mario games, but I guess that shouldn't be surprising.
>Yoshi can't change colors mid-game! Super Mario World. Yoshi Wings. Turns any Yoshi blue. If Yoshi is playable, that just means he loses powerup status - at least, that's how I'd code it.
I didn't mean he can't change for the sake of not changing, I guess I meant for the sake of each character having their own unique color. But peach already takes on the same palette as mario when getting fireflower, so 🤷♂️
That time I thought I was a Super Mario Bros pro. Then I saw speed runs. It's all about the fun. When Mario 3 came out my cousin got it for his birthday, we skipped the cake entirely
Three SMB2-J WRs for Kosmic: 8-4 Warpless, 100% and now any% as part of the Marihour Challenge. All he needs for total domination of SMB2-J is the True Any% WR.
Dang I can't wait to see who picks this up to push it further! 2 minutes to shave to hit your "Best Possible" and even as a viewer I can see tons of places we could save time without even upping the difficulty. Great final throws though btw
I think you should have mentioned that you aren't allowed to use ACE because it allows one to skip W8 in SMB3 and most of the game in SMW, making the runs that allow it much shorter (ACE is a kind of glitches that transfer the execution to RAM, allowing one to warp to the end, add cheats or even input the (compiled) code of a completely different game and play it. In SMB3, there is one possible in early World 7, and in SMW, there are multiple possible even in early game)
I'm of the opinion that Yoshis probably are powerups, but also something available in certain levels. The only times we saw Yoshi was as someone who could be ridden, and then everyone being a Yoshi. It's possible those Yoshi levels won't have powerups. That said, I don't see much of a problem with having a Yoshi change colors if they were to be able to collect fire flowers. It would just add white to the color scheme in some way, while still keeping enough of their actual color to still be distinguishable. This would only be a problem in games like Wooly World, where Yoshis can have patterns.
The eshop description lists him as playable and he has his own life icon. Mario didn't change his when in that odd ball transformation in the Wonder effect.
@@zinith4524 Weird that he's mentioned there, but not in the Direct, where they only specifically mention Daisy. And it's rather disappointing, as I'd prefer to have Yoshi as a mount in some levels.
Ive speedrunned all 6 individually not all at once, along with many other games ive speedran, ive beaten 4 of these mario games easily in under an hour before.
just wanna point out that i received a promotional e-mail from nintendo about super mario bros. wonder that directly mentions daisy and yoshi as playable characters. so yeah, yoshi is a playable character quote from the e-mail: "Team up with up to three friends locally and gather around one Nintendo Switch console to tackle courses as a team. Choose from familiar characters including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi and Toad!"
I'm not sure it's allowed to take a phone call on a speedrun. What if they are providing outside assistance 🤔 Like "hey... keep going fast. Try not to die"
Impressive how you destroyed the Marihour WR, but the thing I'm waiting for is when you get back to SMB1 and perform a 4:54:XXX run. I withnessed all your WRs back in those days. Anyway, GG
Speaking of Yoshi in Mario Wonder. 1. I think he gets no normal powerups 2. I think the Elephant powerup is Mario exclusive and everyone has their own type of exclusive powerup. 3. Yoshi could easily get things like the stomp or fire breath or wings from World.
33:34 He's saying half of the time you should get 1 hand or fewer on Super Mario Bros 3. It's actually better than that. It's 20/27 times which is close to 3/4!
It's 3/8 of the time for 1 hand and 1/8 of the time for 0. Then 3/8 of the time for 2 hands and 1/8 of the time for 3. I'm curios how you got your result though
@@Kosmicd12 Sorry, brain-fart, I was calculating with a 1/3 chance of being pulled in by each hand, not 1/2. This is why you don't do stuff late at night... Really enjoyed the run anyway!
One thing I'm amazed with is how you can both play all these Mario games flawlessly while reading the chat and answering their questions. I would've died the second my eyes looked down to read the chat. Then again, Mario is not my game it's okay. Zelda is my game.
I can't believe you barely beat SMB1 in 5 minutes, even Badabun could do it while eating pizza and drinking coke smh disappointed in you, Mr. KosmicSpeedruns
Having to do SM64 one star (or zero star) at the end of a 55 minute speedrun just seems brutal. Pure undiluted BLJs and Bower throws 45 minutes into a speedrun. Mario 64 definitely struck me as the game where the most time could be gained, at least if your run is typical of people doing this category. (Potential time gains that jumped out at me include...the potential of faster BLJs, the theoretical possibility of zero star, missing a cycle on the Bowser in the Fire Sea accordion, small movement optimisations).
Ryukar getting snubbed. He's not a typical speedrunner but he's easily the best Mario Maker 2 player hands down and he also got it done in record time despite minimal practice.
Huh, yeah I never thought enough about it lol. But it's because this game is about landing on top of enemies and then picking them up, which you can do with pokeys
Yoshi could be playable but yet not another evidence of Yoshi probably being playable is that on the case art of the game you can see Yoshi holding a red shell like how Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Daisy
I'll continue improving this record, and setting other speedrunning World Records! Follow my stream to watch them live :)

It's funny listening to everyone speculate/discuss/argue about Super Mario Wonder, and here we are, less than 24 hours from the release!
, you can play as Yoshi.
Chris Pratt has spent hours of his life stomping koopas, but you managed to do that in less than an hour. 👏

I'd be super interested to see what kind of time could be achieved if it was some as a relay with best in the world speedrunners at each game (Niftski does SMB1, you do SMB2-J, MFP does SMB3, etc.)
Sub 50 (mostly from beating sm64 2 minutes faster)
GDQ idea?
Kanno doing SM64 0 star and SethBling doing SMW 0 exit would cut down on time a LOT

@@dbeast03 make it a race where each runner runs the wrong game. Like Kosmic on 64
If he can beat this many games in the Marihour imagine how many he could do in the year of Luigi

Wart is an underrated tragic villian who is unjustly oppressed for his refusal to eat vegetables
Awesome run! Can't wait to see what crazy time you are going to pull off in the future!
This is impressive. It also makes gives me much more respect for people who speedrun games that take over an hour.
Awesome! I mostly just watch Mitch mario 3 runs so its interesting to see just how hard it is to speedrun that game, keep P speed, etc.. This was such a cool overall display of the games and an insane broad skill set.
This is awesome. I’ve rewatched your SNES All-Stars and Mario 24 hour challenge quite a bit, so seeing how tight your SMB2U gameplay has become is really satisfying to watch. Congrats on the world record!
WOW. I knew you are the best at SMB1 and SMB2J, but the M64 was also incredible! Too good. Too good. Best speedrun video I've ever seen.
Honestly what I found most impressive about all this while watching is you were able to remember all the setups and tricks for all 6 games and switch between them seamlessly.
I definitely could not build up the muscle memory for this.
Haha, I hear that a lot, but memorization is the easiest part of platformers. Execution is hard 😱
those SMB2 japanese version jumps are just as crazy as i remember...that was very impressive seeing you do those
This will be a great video to watch and be able to see all the endings to the 6 games
3:53 PricelessNightmare called it!
Congrats, Kosmic! Great run!
congrats on this new WR. Insane how quick you got it! Your the all time gratest MariHour runner now!
GG dude, that's an amazing set of runs, and such a hard set of games to switch between.
You’re turning into Arcus. “I’m happy with having PB’s!” No! Shoot for WR’s!
that was SUCH a BEAUTIFUL Super Mario World, Kosmic!!! i wouldve thought that was your main game!!!!
the reign of pixelperfect is over, im glad he had it for so long
This really requires lots of skill. Congrats on getting WR on Marihour. :D
Thank you HappyLee!
How all these tricks and skips were discovered is endlessly fascinating to me
55:00 that one ground pound was so painful, I could feel cosmic’s despair
Gotta love dipping out before the princess is on screen
Great run @kosmicspeedruns really enjoyed the clutch moments. I didn't realize you were as adept at the other Mario games, but I guess that shouldn't be surprising.

Classic just taking a call mid-run. So great. Gratz Kosmic!
Man I remember watching Lack grind this challenge back in 2016, those are some good memories!
That time I thought I was a Super Mario Bros pro. Then I saw speed runs. It's all about the fun. When Mario 3 came out my cousin got it for his birthday, we skipped the cake entirely
If you want a hard challenge, try speed running the lost levels on the Gameboy color version, Super Mario Bros Deluxe
Three SMB2-J WRs for Kosmic: 8-4 Warpless, 100% and now any% as part of the Marihour Challenge.
All he needs for total domination of SMB2-J is the True Any% WR.
Congrats Kosmic! Well deserved 👏👏
When darbian got WR, multiple people did it after him and still got like a few minutes slower then them he was a legend to say the least.
Sick seeing kosmic blow through smb2u after how much grief that game gave him in the shuffler run lol
Lol that was pretty embarrassing
@@kosmicspeedruns it happens to the best of us chief, we're only human
Hopefully in the future, people will rename that challenge to "Super Mario 50mins challenge"
Congrats on the WR! It'll be great once you are ready to take on this challenge and beat it; we know you can do it!
I'm so excited to learn this run next month. I've literally only beaten 64 before, and that was as a kid, glitchless. At least I owned 1, 2u, and 3 XD
Dang I can't wait to see who picks this up to push it further! 2 minutes to shave to hit your "Best Possible" and even as a viewer I can see tons of places we could save time without even upping the difficulty. Great final throws though btw
4:07 "PricelessNightmare : i'm calling it, this is the run"
well he was right
What amazing editing, the timer from the run you reset at 3:19 was on point at 3:19 in the video ☝🏻
Oh uhhh, yeah! Definitely on purpose!
The Super Mario.. hour... thing... 😂
Now we know what you were wondering about the face you made during the retime lol.
GG on the run!
Congrats on the World Record!!! :)
Awesome run dude 👍
Lol I came back to watch again,I have to reiterate , it's not just a awesome run , it's legendary !
I remember Darbian doing these years ago, this is extremely hard.

Man its been 7 years since Darbians run on this... time flies
If one of the Wonder effects is shrinking, we will have glitchless small fire in Super Mario Bros Wonder.

And the Mario games: Donkey Kong Atari 2600, Mario Bros. 2600, Mario’s Cement Factory Game and Watch!
Speaking of Yoshi in Mario Wonder.
1. I think he gets no normal powerups
2. I think the Elephant powerup is Mario exclusive and everyone has their own type of exclusive powerup.
3. Yoshi could easily get things like the stomp or fire breath or wings from World.
All unique powerups would be interesting! If the characters have any differences, i hope you can quickly switch between them, like 3d world
You -wrong-
Yoshi riding Yoshi isn’t cursed, you can already do it in Yoshi’s Crafted World.
GG man! Holy crap you’re a gamer! Incredible, let’s goooo

You can land on Pokey without taking damage in Mario2 US?

About the Yoshi thing, I have a workaround: Yoshi Stack(tm)

Do the rules of the run say that you have to do the games in order? I feel like running SM64 first might be beneficial.
