I'm back!! Hope everyone enjoys the beginning of this new series! I'm quite happy with how this came out. The only thing I wish I did differently was not focus on the record times as much (when applicable). I will be doing that for the rest of the series to not obsolete the videos as much!
"Many people like to picture this as a bus," with a little bus graphic, and then immediately moving onto what the frame rule system is without explaining the bus analogy is the funniest thing i've heard about mario speedrunning since learning you can press half an A button incredible video! :)
I always wanted to be “featured” in a Speedrun History/progress video. Seeing my name in the top 3 Lunar Dragon with Glitches at 34:05 just made my day. I might be just a coincidence but thanks Storster
The thing that Lost Levels was too hard is a common misconception. Nintendo of America actually thought it was too similar to the original SMB and didn't want to bring it over for that reason.
NOA did reject some games because they were too hard. I could see it going either way, but I lean more on the too similar theory as well. Look at how the Castlevania trilogy were all really unique games or how Zelda 1 and 2 are so vastly different. Back then there was more of an effort to differentiate sequels from one another. The Lost Levels sure aren’t great anyways. You have to beat the game like 8 times to unlock the final level, no thank you
@@fan0 And why is suddenly a lie just because of a YT comment? 🤦♂️ In the first and third Super Mario Bros., Nintendo of America changed Mario's life meter to be easier in the US: in the Japanese version Power Up Mario goes back straight to little Mario when you get hit one time, in the US Mario just loses the power up. It's not so far-fetched or a "misconception" to consider not releasing Lost Levels in US because of its difficulty.
Nice video! Always cool to see some handheld mario recognition :) Something I'd like to quickly mention about the NSMB part is that the rng manipulation you showed is actually an outdated method and we currently use a much more powerful manipulation that means we don't have to reset back to the main menu every run and gives much better moves from the overworld red blocks and hammer bros (in fact in world 8 its guaranteed to be almost perfect each time!) and on average saves a lot of time (~5-8 seconds) over runs that don't use it. Its really unique how it works too as it exploits a flaw in the game's random number generator which causes the game's rng to loop around the same 8 values indefinitely, however since this only happens when the game is loaded on very specific dates/times we have to use a program to calculate exactly what date and time to use for it to work. This actually makes it impossible to do on wii u vc due to how rng works on that platform and now puts wii u vc at a slight disadvantage compared to ds.
Despite this only being the first part, I already love this series! Definitely looking forward to seeing just how deep you take this iceberg. The GBA remakes certainly pique my interest, so I'm extra eager to see you cover those. Also, feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all regarding Super Mario Maker 2 once you begin research for it; I've been involved with its speedrunning scene since the game's release, and I'm always happy to splurge about how the Story Mode categories in particular have developed over time.
50:58 To be more specific, certain sound effects affect the RNG. One of those sound effects is the double jump sound effect. There are other sound effects that affect the RNG like the wall kick sound effect, but the double jump is the only one relevant to 1-1 in any%.
21:22 I was rewatching and I just noticed that the O's are not capitalized like in the original so it looks like "SUPERMARI**owo**RLD", why did you do this Storster
Yooo this was a surprise to see in my sub box! It's been super sick watching you grow as a youtuber and content creator since knowing you running cringe smw categories back in 2016, hope you keep blowing up, love you homie
Finally! A new video! I would like it more if you showed the actual entries on the Iceberg. This video feels more like speedrunning glitches of every Mario game.
The Mario 64 iceberg arguably popularized this whole trend so this one has to be a perfect bookend of sorts. Looking forward to see strats of lesser talked about games. And btw, the Mario devs do consider Yoshi's Island as a mainline Mario game, since the gigaleak flat out reveled its working title of Super Mario Bros 5.
Yeahh, Yoshi's Island is a heavily debated case. Mine and others reasons I have taken from, suggest that for it to be mainline game, you should be playing as Mario. I would label it the beginning of the "Yoshi" series personally. At least with this series I will be covering every mario-related game at some point no matter what, so don't worry!
Mario lost levels is a pretty hard game, when i beat it I would have so many game overs, I've only ran the warpless 8- 4 category on snes, which took me a whole 1:37 to do, and it's the only 1 of the 6 mariohour games I've never beat without dying.
No one is really capable of getting a WR IN all 18 of the mainline mario games, even darbian out of the 6 marihour games he only got WRS in 3 of them if you include the mario world snes category extensions, 1 and now the WRS are even harder to get then back then. So yah I do NOT think 1 single person getting 1 WR in each one of the 18 mainline games is possible.
you should just pull off the band-aid and use your real voice :). their aint no girls watching :) lol big fan my friend keep up the videos and i'll keep watching.
Great video! I wish you had gone in a bit more detail on the movement tech from SM3DW, like the stuff with infinite speed increase on ice levels and the cat suit. Also, SummoningSalt has a recent video on the history of NSMB Wii world records, which could be added to the video list: ruclips.net/video/TdT48yTycfg/видео.html
I don't like SMW; I know I know. I can't explain it but basically everything about the game just turns me off unlike Mario 3 which just feels magical in every way. However, I cannot deny that the tricks and tech displayed by SMW players is absolutely astonishing. I don't think it would be controversial to say that if SMW hadn't had so many gimmicks added to it, that Super Mario Maker and Kaizo hacks wouldn't have become the high skill ceiling games they are today. It's weird for me to say but as much as I dislike SMW on an aesthetic and casual level; if I was a speedrunner it would totally be the game I think I'd have the most fun trying to master. Anyway, great video and I can't wait till we sink deeper into the depths... Together.
Checked out the nsmbw portion and the record for any% you feature was already beaten a couple months ago, I’m assuming you finished that portion of the video a while ago or something but it annoys me a little bit, but overall cool vid
Yeah I had to establish a cutoff for WRs unfortunately or this video would've never been done. For all the future parts, I will probably still show leaderboards, but Im going to emphasize specific WRs a lot less to make it age better

lfg! also if you need any breaks just take them. if you need a break you really need it
gg !! well done
@Storster you sound like a Canadian furry

Really enjoying learning about the different kinds of records. Usually you only hear about any% or 100% so it's cool to know there's more than that.
12:38 Gotta love how the music syncs with Mario bouncing on the Buzzy Beetles.
it's very brave to even attempt documenting all of this, even if it's brief
52:20 that transition was actually so smooth omg
It's very minor but I loved doing that :)
I can't even begin to imagine how much work went into this. I'm impressed, keep up the awesome work!
This is such a fun concept! Love the (semi) brief overviews on all these beloved games. Watching your longer uploads is always a treat
This series is gonna be awesome. Super excited for future parts!
Just saw this now. Appreciate it a lot
The thing that Lost Levels was too hard is a common misconception. Nintendo of America actually thought it was too similar to the original SMB and didn't want to bring it over for that reason.
I actually didn't know this, I think even Gaming Historian used the "too hard" story, though I could be wrong
@@RollieMcSplat Everyone used that story and I thought it's true
Its likely it being too hard and too similar both were contributing factors
NOA did reject some games because they were too hard. I could see it going either way, but I lean more on the too similar theory as well.

17:28 Mario is bout to get these hands
Welcome back, stoked for this series, you're crushing it. Keep on keeping on my guy.
17:30 I do believe only the first, last, and middle hands can pull you down. Hence the 12.5% (.5 * .5 * .5).
Thanks for this incredible video ^^
me: enjoying my breakfast
youtube documentary about mario speedrunning: 1:11:30
great video idea man so far it’s been great!

Glad to see you back
51:33 I can't believe the "Every copy is personalized" would somehow pop up in this less standard iceberg lol
Can't wait to see the weirder things that will be covered in each level.
The fact he put a censor bar over the “Super Mario 64 FPS” banner in the intro.
Very excited for layer 3. Speedruns of the RPGs and the Kart series are a joy to watch.
Amazing video, subscribed!!
This looks insane and I love it.
I hope this is still in the works :)
suprised this video doesn't have more views. very well done!
I couldn't imagine all of the work that went into this video
Thank you for not taking 5 minutes to explain what an iceberg is.
Amazing video man!!!!❤❤😂😂😮😅😊😂❤❤ (i already watched it fs)
let’s gooooooo welcome back
this bouta be an awesome video
Forgot to comment, but welcome back!
cheers :D
you deserve more views
i'm hoping to see future parts, this was a great watch even though i was months late lol
17:32
It's actually only 3.125% chance to get through all of them.
54:08 im getting geometry dash flashbacks bc that looks sick af
Haven’t seen it yet, but I have a feeling this is gonna be 🔥
Amazing videos so underrated.
i love this video. good job shorster
No mention of SM64DS? Sad it isn't considered mainline as it has a lot of unique differences from the original SM64
The Switch version of 3D World probably has faster times because they literally increased everyone's moving speed, not just load times being better
This format would be so fun for games like Zelda and Sonic series
a new storster video, cant wait!
Mario lost levels is a pretty hard game, when i beat it I would have so many game overs, I've only ran the warpless 8- 4 category on snes, which took me a whole 1:37 to do, and it's the only 1 of the 6 mariohour games I've never beat without dying.
Nice video!
lol nice call out to the bus
Good stufg Storster, welcome back man!
Something I find funny is that Acorrding to Nintendo, Super Mario Run is a mainline game
ive beat 12 of these games in my life, the 6 marihour games all 4 new super mario mario galaxy and odysey.
Is that super sluggers music!? ❤
this is really good content :)
15:58 each single character ends up getting utilized amongus n worlds
i remember these mario computer games
1:18:35 omg I was thinking the same thing!
impressive
Amazing Video Storster
Nice to see you back. Great work
If you got a view for every minute you worked on this video you’d be summoning salt I’m sure
Cool vid
Yessss! Cant wait to watch this! I love your videos sm :)
Is the next layer Category Extensions?
That is part of it! 👀
No one is really capable of getting a WR IN all 18 of the mainline mario games, even darbian out of the 6 marihour games he only got WRS in 3 of them if you include the mario world snes category extensions, 1 and now the WRS are even harder to get then back then. So yah I do NOT think 1 single person getting 1 WR in each one of the 18 mainline games is possible.
Nice of the folks at Adult Conversations to read the disclaimer for you!
YOOOOO SO HAPPY TO SEE THE ICEBERG COME TO LIFE :D
cool video
It is literally impossible to mention frame rules without mentioning a bus.
This is awesome
you should just pull off the band-aid and use your real voice :). their aint no girls watching :) lol big fan my friend keep up the videos and i'll keep watching.
I feel like this video could’ve been a few hours longer
Great video! I wish you had gone in a bit more detail on the movement tech from SM3DW, like the stuff with infinite speed increase on ice levels and the cat suit.

Dude I cant wait for the 602 explanation that will be fun.
Pannenkoek's videos of invisible walls will change 120 stars quite a lot, since people can route around bonking now.
You can skip the first 4 minutes of this video, it says nothing you don't already know.
How many times have we heard someone explain frame rules.
LETS GOOOOOOO
After watching this It's kinda clickbait that it was called an Iceberg
This Video is truly a treat
1:35:17
Please god tell me the wet nut is mentioned in odyssey
How do you speed runMario maker2 two how
What’s the deal with people using keyboards for NES games?
Let's goo! 😍
I don't like SMW; I know I know. I can't explain it but basically everything about the game just turns me off unlike Mario 3 which just feels magical in every way.

comment for the engagement algo
nice video

3:11
oh lol fair sorry (I indeed did not bother to watch the first 3 minutes of the video and made my judgement too quick)
I don't even like Mario, see you on next part
you have a very strange way of pronouncing 20:39 by Sluggy at 10:51
for the record im not mad* lol
Yeah I had to establish a cutoff for WRs unfortunately or this video would've never been done. For all the future parts, I will probably still show leaderboards, but Im going to emphasize specific WRs a lot less to make it age better

sms wrs are inaccurate guy2308 has both 120 shine and any% wrs
