  This was a fun video to come up on my recommended! &nbsp;I’m Jason Baum, aka GameCube04 (though I haven’t gone by that in a long time, haha). &nbsp;I did the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AzOcuts-Rk&amp;t=5505">1:31:45</a> speed run way back in 2005. &nbsp;I really appreciate you showing highlights of my run, especially the Tubular strategy! &nbsp;I was always proud of that one. &nbsp;You are correct that my thinking of going small in Valley of Bowser 2 was to navigate the raising/lowering platform section faster. &nbsp;It’s interesting to me that not only was this apparently unnecessary, but that other runners copied that strategy! &nbsp;<br><br>Speed running was a lot different in the early years- it was much more of an individual effort as far as coming up with routes and strategies, whereas today it’s much more community based. &nbsp;But that’s what I’m most proud of about my run- I came up with every strategy for every level all by myself. &nbsp;It was really interesting learning how much this category has progressed with the new strats and clips- definitely way beyond my skill level! &nbsp;When I was going for my run, I always figured a “perfect” run would be in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AzOcuts-Rk&amp;t=88">1:28</a> range- clearly I was wrong.<br><br>Fun fact- my speed run actually made it into the 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records!

  What I love about the SMW community is how we can talk about things like about making message blocks out of thin air like they&apos;re normal.

  This is turning into a great weekend for Speedrun doc watchers. Glad this channel&apos;s back.

  When you said &quot;beating every single level at once&quot;, for a second I thought you meant literally getting every exit at the exact same time which, while almost certainly impossible would be one goddamn incredible TAS if you could somehow do that with one set of inputs sent to 96 emulators at the same time.

  I don&apos;t think there&apos;s another channel on YouTube who can talk about Bowser&apos;s balls so many times while keeping up a straight, professional and level voice. You have much more self control than I would in your place.

  I knew I recognized the name &nbsp;maiba and hearing his Mario 3 credits at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AzOcuts-Rk&amp;t=3216">53:36</a> cemented it

  Love the contrast between the choice of derpy and happy music with the deep serious but sometimes fun voiceover. Well put together video too. SNES overload.

  I have watched speedruns since the early days of Twitch with Siglemic in 2010 as my entry. Watched thousands of runs. 96 exit will always be my favorite category and happy to see guys I&apos;ve followed for years now (Kakusho and Linkdead) get some love. Great video!!
