I remember coming out of a deep k-hole and your video was on. Your chill attitude and the familiar NES music and sound effects helped ground me and I zoned out to like 3 of your videos in a row. Thanks pal/buddy/friend.
You bring my childhood when my uncle (who was like my father), brought me games and played together. I am already subscribed but I believe I couldn't pay you for these beloved memories.
Just beat World 8 for the first time thanks to this. Been playing it since I was a kid but could never beat the final few levels of world 8. Still have my original console and game! 🙂
I've been playing through the NES Mario games with my niece and nephew as a rapt audience. I always impress on them the importance, or at least the value, of defeating Bowser with fireballs. 'It is the Way'.
When I was a kid and we got this my mom let me stay up passed midnight because she was playing as luigi, we kept winning and she couldn't wait til the next day when I got home to play. (this was like 3rd grade). Have such a big spot in my heart for this game.
Casual players do it all the time. It's useless for speedruns because it's not only slower and boring but more physically taxing from mashing the button
I remember when Mario 3 came out and playing it right after Christmas. It was so much better than Mario 2. This game was so amazingly good at the time. Oh man, this brings back really good memories.
I played this game so much when I was little. Like hundreds of hours before I turned 10 years old. This is the first time I have ever seen any of what has happened in this run 😂
Never realized what I was doing back in the day, huh, speed runs. who knew. I was never this fast, but after I knew all the tricks I would go for speed.
When fighting Boom Boom, after getting the third hit, if you time the jump right, it is possible to grab the ? ball in midair and shave a second or so off one’s time.
Loved this game as a kid. I can't play it anymore because the flashing color palette on the right side of the screen gives me a headache. CRTs almost entirely masked that off.
And to think no one was better than me at NES games, you my friend are extremely talented, I have watched many speedruns, but they have all been just showing the gameplay, so a bot could be doing them for all we know but you actually video yourself AND the game, very impressed, do you do just NES games? Have you considered doing other systems like Sega master system or SNES or genesis, I can tell we have the same old school taste in games, I hope you become a legend
In World 8's "Ship" level, you can go swimming under the boats without diying. Doesn't make you win time but no need to jump and dodge enemies. A friend of mines found that trick accidently.
Totally true, and how I play it all the time😄 But having to wait for the ship to be low enough to jump up, or just having to double back even a little to the pipe would add a bit of time to the run. Speedrunners will risk death if it means saving a tenth of a second. They're crazy, I tell you.
at first I thought you're one of my friends from old s4 league days one of the best rushers from Korea was called Arcus. man i miss him. but happy I found you.
We left the game going for weeks after reaching Level 8 and would turn the TV off or mute so that my parents wouldn't cut the game off. Now I see you whip it in just over 12 minutes is...
You need more people watching. You are a rare gem.
You have gotten your wish, thanks to Summoningsalt
40000 viewers isn't enough?
@@kenswireart88 No, but 100k viewers are.

You are the Bob Ross of speedrunning.
This is too damn perfect.
Bob Ross of speedrrunning.. Yes i love it, im from Brazil and i love paint Bob Ross, good remenber
Best comparation I've seen in years.
Happy accidents
-happy lil accident- squeek!
Mario 3 was my favorite game when I was a kid :) Still will always be one of the games closest to my heart.
I remember coming out of a deep k-hole and your video was on. Your chill attitude and the familiar NES music and sound effects helped ground me and I zoned out to like 3 of your videos in a row. Thanks pal/buddy/friend.
Damn, deep khole to this dude. That's awesome
Arcus, you are a real hidden gem. The amount of talent you have to speedrun an insane amount of games is amazing and inspiring. Keep up the good work.
I really do enjoy your retro speedruns. Keep doing them
For some reason this guy's voice is really relaxing sometimes I just play the UA-cam video when I'm going to sleep and I fall asleep in 10 minutes
lol same
That’s so cool :)
ASMR
I didn't think anyone appreciated these games anymore.
It's great to see you making these. Takes me back to simpler times.
Alot of people appreciate these games.
Back in 1990 I took a Polaroid of the ending to prove to some classmates that I passed it. Took me longer than 12 minutes though.
I remember the taken pics to prove street cred
"Get gud"

Just beat World 8 for the first time thanks to this. Been playing it since I was a kid but could never beat the final few levels of world 8. Still have my original console and game! 🙂
feels good to go back and finally beat the game that seemed impossible as a kid. Done similar with a few other games!
The gameplay is anxiety provoking but your play-by-play is like ASMR. Amazing combo
Smb 3 still is one of my favorite games, great run Arcus! 😉
Not gona lie, I came here for the mustache.
Good
This is insane dude 😲
indeed, a 42 y.o. dude speedruns insanely difficult games while staying calm all the way thru.
The Bob Ross of video games... calm collected, soothing.
10:30, looks like Mario is pretty good at bouncing that basketball
A righteous soul with a chill roll. Subbed for sure.
I like your playstyle. Very calm and chilling
You man deserve a gold medal
This video made me realize how much speed runners must hate autoscroll levels
I've played this literally 1000s of times and I never knew the secret about going into the sand pit in world 8

Bro! Same here!
You should rename your channel to, "And clunk."
Why does he say that? I'm new to his channel.
Manuel Soto he just imitates the gaining something sound.
HahahahaAaaa!
The Batman run should be called "and punch, punch". 😆 🤣
@@manuelsoto9939 he presses on a foot pedal to start and stop his timmer, and it makes a clunk sound
I like how you say “aaaaand.....clock”
And there I learned something. 2 Somethings that is. Wow!
I've been playing through the NES Mario games with my niece and nephew as a rapt audience. I always impress on them the importance, or at least the value, of defeating Bowser with fireballs. 'It is the Way'.
You were always very good brother,but when you became a real legit cowboy speed runner you truly became great.
Congrats on the PB! Looking forward to the Batman grind
What's a pb

@@travisguay7061 wow ok I report
I stumbled upon your channel with the burrito speedrun video but I've been watching all your SMM2 and super Mario bros 3 runs...this one was 🔥

Arcus reminds me of the cool old guy at the arcades.
It's super entertaining to watch you play 😁👍🏼!
And... Squishhhhh!
Thats a nice bolo tie
I remember this game I haven’t played it in over 25 years
I always just swam underneith the ships.
O always liked playing this game out. Loved the tanooki suit and hammer bros suit and sitting in the shoe?
I’ve always tried this as a kid. Didn’t know about the wall skip or that you could kill bowser with fireballs. Good job.
Same here. Since he is a dragon looking koopa that breaths fire, I assumed fireballs wouldn't work on him .
Oh wow! I remember the headaches this game caused me as a kid. Well done!
Still find the name “Arcus” to be horrific but your speedruns are the best
U sayin’ magic flutes and tanooki suits is like Robin Leach saying champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
I guess I’m the only one who swan under the boat

Ain't no Thang but a chicken Wang
Glade to see someone does 8-1 like I used to when I was a kid, never did beat that level the "correct" way
More people need to be made aware of you.
Arcus i mean no offence at all, but you are the only texan accent person i can stand XDD love you and your stuff man
I've NEVER gone through those hands without being grabbed lol
Anddd Squish...safe to say you have the best onomatopoeia in the speed running game
Am I the only one expecting an impersonation of Norm McDonald impersonating Burt Reynolds with that cowboy outfit?
I played this game so much when I was little. Like hundreds of hours before I turned 10 years old. This is the first time I have ever seen any of what has happened in this run 😂
And.........

Woah, great run Arcus! This was really fun to watch.
I will always love the name _SKY LAND._
Mario 3 is may favorite game of all time. Love it so much I beat it 6 times in 1 weekend... without whistles
Seriously fun to watch
You could swim in the lava under the ship when I played it as a kid to beat the level
That was a good ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!
the speedrun cowboy. lustiger vogel. bin jetzt wohl schon beim sechsten video oder so.^^ greetings from germany, cowboy. ;)
That’s a good clunk.
Nice man just a new person watching it like the speed runs
I love how some of these levels get cheesed. Never knew about the 8-2 secret.
Arcus for President.
I came to be appalled by the mustache. I stayed because.... I mean... Watch it
Is this the guy who speedran a burrito
Why didn’t you just swim under the ship level? Old trick I thought everyone knew about.
Probably wasn't faster to do it that way.
It's slower because you'll have to go all the way around the back of the boat instead of just staying on top and getting in the pipe ASAP

Dancing cats are the best
RNGesus was on your side with those hands
Its marios long lost brother. Klunkamia!!
Good speedruns, but do you make other games SNES speedrun, like Super Mario Worls , DK1, 2, 3.
Love your runs
Good run, gg
Have you ever try to go under the boata go under watar at stage 8-2.
Your definitely an new legend
I have been using the wrong headwear
it isn't about speed, it's about having fun

Are you a single action army man? Or a 1911 guy? .223 or .308? 9mm or 45ACP? What do you think of the new Python?

What does "No hands" mean?

How do you play these games I want to play these games brings back my childhood
On the boat level in world 8, why not swim underneath? Or does it cost you time at the end?
It costs time to get back on the boat
Another amazing run!
omg so close to the end with Bowser haha you rock !!
How come you don't do any newer gen stuff? Like the newer Mario's? That would be awesome but I'm doubting it
