The idea of this random traffic light fan finding weird glitches for fun and speedrunners going: ''wtf this could be a super useful skip, how is he finding these'' is hilarious.
Fun fact about Pablo Díaz: He won a game show in Spain called "Pasapalabra" which only a handful of people have won (I would say less than 30) despite being aired since 2000.
I was fully expecting this video to showcase how a traffic light messed up something in the wiimote's detection or something like that, but I got a pleasant and real cool gravity shenanigans showcase instead, very cool stuff Mr. MATLF
there's a video that doesn't outright deny the solar flare/Tick Tock Clock M64 platform clip but points out it's incredibly unlikely and probably caused by something else. There are speedrunners who use hot plates, kick and tilt games, and do other insane things though.
Great video. The thing I love about these skips is that the really give a new perspective on glitch-hunting; MATLF had no intent to “save time” in a Speedrun and just wanted to screw around with the game’s physics, leading him to think outside the box in ways we never did. What a legend *this video also reminded me that we really need to come up with a unanimously agreed on Gusty 2 skip name ☠️
There are countless examples across several games where someone just messed around and found a weird mechanical interaction in a game and posted it online for fun and then speedrunners later on found ways it could be used to save time
Speedrunning is so great because where else is Luigi burning his bottom as he's flung through the void of space at an incresing velocity both celebrated and the optimal thing to do
The speedrunner in 3:15 is a well known prodigy here in Spain🇪🇸! He is known by everyone here because he once went to a TV Program and won 4 Million dollars. He plays the violin, he speedruns and he studies so hard! We all love him.😂❤
I'd like to mention that for the FF2 skip in doing the gravity shenanigans, MarioFan and Dendonodon played huge roles. MarioFan showed that with the correct lava boost, it was possible to go to the FF2 planet from the race area, and Dendonodon proved that it was possible to go to the ending area of FF2, which saved several seconds already. I only came up with the fast version of the skip, in which you bounce of the ice panels, which saved around 15 more seconds. Also, for the Dreadnought skip at 3:07, it was PurpleSun who came up with the Goombeetle-less setup, which saved a few more seconds.
I honestly find it very interesting/inspiring. One single video about something very weird that can happen in a beloved video game. It's very well presented, follows the "documentary meta". And it works fantastic; the title is crafted in such a way that the viewer knows vaguely, but also doesn't know exactly what the video is about before watching, and they're like "wait what, what is he talking about". And yet all you do is to present something that you're passionate about, without thinking "it has to be good, else my viewers won't be interested anymore". I absolutely admire the way this video has popped off, hats off to you, and I can wish only the best for the future of this channel. 🎉❤
i was so confused like "huh they aren't crediting clips from that one runner who keeps showing up" and then realised it's you. that runner is you. i am bign't brain
Glitchhunters are always dope to see, no matter what game. They definitely make or break speedrunning to how they are, and can sometimes tear the game in two in so cool ways - Great vid tibs
A few months ago, I stumbled onto one of the black hole videos he uploaded with a couple dozen views. It was such a strange thing to see since it’s super unique movement done so casually. I spent an hour seeing all the wild stuff on the channel... I recommend checking it out from how different it is compared to what you might expect to see! I’ve been following it since then, and I’m glad someone else noticed it too. It is unbelievable how many previously thought TAS-esc tricks there are, and it’s not even in the interest of speedrunning- mostly it’s trying to find unique black hole deaths. I remember in one of his comments he mentions not being interested in speedrunning at all. It’s a great channel and I find the unintentional overlap with speedrunning tricks extremely funny, bahaha.
This is the sort of thing I love about speedrunning. You get these random tricks that snap old strategies and change the routes forever...and the people who discover it have names like "Bibblebiscuit74" and like collecting stamps. Not knocking MATLF, of course, he's obviously quite skilled at breaking SMG, and it's just one of the funniest thing I love about this community.
For this to be your first video is absurd lmao, I genuinely assumed this was a well established ~100k sub type channel watching through this. Amazing work, easiest sub in recent memory.
It does not surprise me that what it took to make such massive discoveries was the precise kind of hyper-fixation that only someone who proudly hails from a super specific community of people on the spectrum. And I mean that as a compliment. It takes focus and careful study to understand a game enough to break it THIS hard.
gravity in this game is truly a wonder. i love being able to actually see some of the improvements happen in real time-ish. even if im still bad at keeping up with... anything. anyways. cool video!!
The other day I was checking the wiki and didn’t see a glitch I had found using goombas. If you spin ground pound the right spot on them their collision is just gone and you can walk right through them. I’d have to re-find or re-make a video of when I discovered this in 2020
Damn, i thought this was about how a traffic light's internal fan (like a cooling unit) was used to jerry rig a wii console to make somehow make a glitch more reliable or something
It will always blow my mind how people discover these skips, and yet MarioandTrafficLightFan discovered like 20 all by himself! That's really impressive.
Hey this was pretty interesting shout out to the UA-cam algorithm for bringing me here This is very well made considering it seems to be your first video good job
I'm surprised no one in the comments has heard of him, lol. I've always wondered how long it would take for his discoveries to be recognised by speedrunners.
MATLF reminds me of that random God of War speedrunner that happened to have discovered like dozens of unknown skips to the community on his own without even participating in the community itself. He didn’t know about some of the more well-known basic skips but had found so many hidden ones
This video has been in my Watch Later for a month. All that time, I thought that some types of traffic light used fans for cooling, and that one of these somehow impacted Super Mario Galaxy speedrunning. ._.
this video brought me back to some amount of my childhood- before and after school the kid that my mom babysat and I would play different game hunting glitches and OOB's- so many gamecube and PS2 games we explored, I could probably make a several hour long documentary about all the glitches if I had them all memorized and organized...
I wanted to check other videos that you've made but it was actually your first? Damn I felt like you were there for years with a video like that, I hope you continue to make videos (especially smg it's my favorite childhood game)
Bro that's some insane quality for a first vid! Really enjoyed it, thanks for your work. I wish you all the best in your youtube career, you deserve it !

i feel like Kid Me spent about 3700 hours trying to glitch out of the ice ring gravity in freezeflame without success and now I finally see that this dude is timing lava bounces off the decoration planets with pause buffering
I was genuinely shocked by how few likes and views are on this video. Incredibly made, well done! I thought it came from a far larger channel, and I'm sure you have a bright future ahead if you keep at it!
Love this game, I remember I did something back when I was a kid, and never saw anyone do it since, probably since it is deprecated now, but i loved and still love this game
I always felt that this game had way more potential for skips than normal. Hopefully, it'll become a popular game to speedrun with all this new tech. Good video!

Mario and traffic lights actually have a lot in common. For one, they both have main characters that are red and green.
Not to mention the yellow character that shows up from time to time
This is one of the best comments ive read all year. Thank you.
And purple gets snubbed
my favourite game is traffic light
and waluigi is cruelly left out as always. PURPLE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN?
I love him discovering absurd speedrunning opportunities and being like "heehee fall into black holes"
To be fair, if you can break through the game to hit a super far object, you can adjust to hit other targets.
