My apologies to people who are sick of seeing Mario Kart videos from my channel, but I really enjoy making them. They're pretty easy to work with since I already have a decent amount of knowledge on the series. I probably won't do another one for a while, but I just wanted to let you all know why you've seen so many in the last year or so. This video was quite the project! I started it nearly 4 months ago, and it's really crazy how many people were able to help. I really appreciate all of you who did- you can see who they are in the intro of the video. The Mario Kart community is extremely helpful, and there's no way I'd have been able to make this without them. It was funny looking back at the start of this video in this last week I was finishing it up. The stuff from Super Mario Kart was finished all the way back in March/April, while Mario Kart 8 was just finished earlier today. Thanks so much for watching and supporting me! I can't wait to make more videos, and can't believe how far this channel has come.

Mario Kart 64: "By using this trick, you can avoid going into the air at the giant ramp section and save time" Mario Kart Wii: "By using this trick, you can propel yourself into the air at the giant ramp section and save time"
Bob's are special people. If you like Summoning Salt's content, I think you'd also like content by a guy named Jon Bois. His latest video is actually a look at all the people named "Bob" in sports. It's quite an amazing hour and a half odyssey that's worth people's time.
I feel there is something magical about your channel. Nostalgia, great feelings, music, phenomenal editing and excellent voice. The community you attract seems also very caring. This is amazing.... Thanks for the 1+k likes, first time a comment of mine gets so much appreciated.
There a feeling of nostalgia for sure. I'm not a speedrunner at all but a crazy amount of my family and friends are gamers and these vidoes remind me of how we used to share glitches before the internet. Me and my cousins knew a ton of glitches and shortcuts on N64 games. Mainly Zelda, Mario kart and Mario64. We weren't experts but i still see a lot of the tricks we used in some of these vids.
For me, not a speed runner nor played Mario Kart often (didn't have a Nintendo console as a kid, just one of my friends had a Wii), I really enjoy these videos because Summoning Salt tells it in a way that makes it feel so magical. It's so nice hearing the stories of how the runners figured out ways to do the seemingly impossible, only due to hard work and dedication. With his style, the music and the calm and yet excited voice, every part truly feels like a magical journey of heroes. I'm really happy about these videos :)
best videos i have ever seen are from this channel. I wish i didnt already binge watch all of his videos so i could watch some more. Guess ill have to rewatch lol
This video was the one to get me into speedrunning three years ago. I'm not crazy good in any way, but it's been a blast so far. Thanks summoning salt ^^
Every time I hear your intro music I get Goosebumps. You're the man who got me started speedrunning. Your passion is infectious! You + Karl Jobst = the GOATs of the speedrunning community.
Salt please dont stop making these videos. They are an amazing capture of the history of our community and they are so much fun to watch. You do some amazing work, keep it up.
Holy crap, did I just watch a nearly hour-long video on a topic I never had anything to do with while still finding it very interesting and entertaining? Thank you, Summoning Salt!
I just realized something. I technically "discovered" R Tech on my own way back when I played Double Dash. It wasn't cause I was any good though, just the opposite. I didn't know how to get mini turbos, but I noticed that I could drift tighter if I spammed the shoulder button. I'd use it on the corkscrew in Wario Stadium. If I was better at the game, I'd probably have never used it or even found it, cause I'd be able to actually use mini turbos.
"The current record doesn't tell the whole story. The journey of how players got there shows the dedication, patience, and perseverance involved in setting these times." This applies to so much more than just speed-running.
Of course. However, in context of game speedruns, I feel like it's actually impactful since playing video games wouldn't seem all that dramatic when not talking about huge competitions/tournaments.
I'm not a sports guy and only sort of a video game guy. Definitely a stats guy though. I think Jon knows his audience isn't sportsy. In Scorigami doesn't he have a section where he literally explains the game of football? That's pretty funny.
"There may not be many athletes left named Bob, but..." I see that Summoning Salt not only makes hour long videos on niche subjects but also watches them lmfao

An awesome video. And I liked the Jon Bois reference as well. And it made me think of some of the similarities between your styles. As well as the differences both of which add up to make the styles as good as they are.
@@Freezezonian I gotta agree. I'm not particularly huge into the speedrunning scene, let alone the Mario kart speedrunning scene. But the fact that I know summoningsalt made it means it's gonna be enjoyable
I discovered your channel just a couple of months ago but I've found so much comfort and inspiration in these videos. Hearing those recurring music tracks, connecting the dots between returning speedrunners across multiple videos, it's obvious you've made something all your own on a topic you possess great knowledge of. Keep doing what you're doing.
Ah yes… the most iconic video to me that introduced me to summoning salt. Probably one of my favourite summoning salt videos, so glad it popped up in my recommended again.
I’d highly recommend watching the whole video, but in case you want to go one section at a time, here are the time stamps, by game: 1:33 - Super Mario Kart 7:43 - Mario Kart 64 14:12 - Super Circuit 18:27 - Double Dash 23:02 - Mario Kart DS 29:07 - Mario Kart Wii 34:32 - Mario Kart 7 40:12 - Mario Kart 8
Leo179 because to my knowledge, it's extremely similar to MK8 in the scheme of things, except without a few pieces of tech like fire hopping or demon sliding. It would've been a nearly identical section except with different names and a slightly different story
Summoning Salt Yeah, of course doing both MK8 and MK8DX would be a waste of time, i just think it would’ve been better if you did MK8DX and not MK8, because there is more tech with 200cc and also a 3rd level mini turbo
I've started watching your videos to wind down to sleep, because they're surprisingly calming - the only problem now is that I struggle to stop the video and move to actual sleep because they're too interesting :'))
Summoning Salt “...new wr by mander” Me: “Isn’t he that guy who faked a bunch of MKWii runs?” Summoning Salt: “he has used speedhacks in MKWii before.” Me: “Thank you.”
I'm just proud that I as a child, 20 years ago, discovered the shortcut on rainbow road on my own. I was playing with the jump button and thought it was funny how you could hover the entire downhill section right after the start. And then I just tried to jump over it, to the left. I didn't make it the first time, but I came close to a piece of road and then I kept trying until I made it and beat all my friends on that track :D
Time Skips: 0:00 - Intro 1:32 - Super Mario Kart 7:39 - Mario Kart 64 14:08 - Mario Kart Super Circuit 18:24 - Mario Kart Double Dash 23:00 - Mario Kart DS 29:04 - Mario Kart Wii 34:27 - Mario Kart 7 40:08 - Mario Kart 8 46:20 - Conclusion
Hearing your small speech at the end of the video is the most satisfying thing. This video was a special ending to the Mario Kart Marathon on your channel. Good work to you and all the runners who helped in making this video happen
I'm going through a rough time in my life right now, but your videos always bring a smile to my face without fail. Thank you, and please keep these up.
The editing on these videos is incredible. Really gives a lot of gravity to something that's ultimately not all that important (in the grand scheme of things). Great job, as always.
Summoning Salt, I don’t know if you saw my Twitter post where I tagged you. But I managed to topple Gogoku7 back in February and take the Mk7 Rainbow Road World Record from him! You weren’t wrong when you said Gogoku would be beaten someday. I’m actually grinding the track again to take the track to a 1:35.7 which is the theoretical human limit despite the Sum of Best now being a 1:35.604
Thanks for subscribing! My uploads are a bit slow currently as I'm taking 3 classes for college this Summer. But I should hopefully be able to get an upload out within the next couple days :)
Yooooo!! 16:38 This strategy was something I kinda experimented with as a young lad. I just remember thinking “Hey you can bounce pretty far and it’ll let you keep driving if you land it”, but I remember also thinking to myself that it was too difficult to pull off consistently and so I never practiced or thought more of it. Little did I know, dang
Every once in a while a guy comes along who is just THE GUY at doing a certain thing and it's like magic. Summoning Salt and Speed Run history videos is one of those combinations that's just more than the sum of its ingredients. I like your style man, keep it up.

@@Freezezonian I gotta agree. I'm not particularly huge into the speedrunning scene, let alone the Mario kart speedrunning scene. But the fact that I know summoningsalt made it means it's gonna be enjoyable
I discovered your channel just a couple of months ago but I've found so much comfort and inspiration in these videos. Hearing those recurring music tracks, connecting the dots between returning speedrunners across multiple videos, it's obvious you've made something all your own on a topic you possess great knowledge of. Keep doing what you're doing.
Oh my god, that reference to Jon Bois's magnificent work about athletes called Bob, just magic
How have I never seen how similar these videos are?
yeah you can tell the inspiration he pulls from Jon. huge fan of both!!
Around 32:20 btw. So legendary and im glad i saw this comment.
Instant like when I heard that reference
I thought I was grasping at straws when I thought that was a reference to the bob emergency, good to know I wasnt wrong
someone needs to archive these videos in hard copies and bury them in a time capsule
Burn in cd or VHS
@@klementtiini1 VHS as some scrates on CD can just break them
@@givemeyoureggs456 No, on flash drive, b/c VHS video quality is shit

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Summoning Salt any more, I hear him drop a Jon Bois reference at 32:22. Awesome video as always.
I mean I think Jon Bois obviously influenced his videos and I thought so way before this was posted. That reference just confirmed it for me
Love that one of my favorite channels likes one of my other favorite channels
I got so happy when I heard that
they had a little love fest on twitter a bit ago
2 🐐s
Ah yes… the most iconic video to me that introduced me to summoning salt. Probably one of my favourite summoning salt videos, so glad it popped up in my recommended again.
I’d highly recommend watching the whole video, but in case you want to go one section at a time, here are the time stamps, by game:
1:33 - Super Mario Kart
7:43 - Mario Kart 64
14:12 - Super Circuit
18:27 - Double Dash
23:02 - Mario Kart DS
29:07 - Mario Kart Wii
34:32 - Mario Kart 7
40:12 - Mario Kart 8
TheShilo531 yeah i dont understand why he didnt include mario kart 8 dx 200cc rainbow road
Leo179 because to my knowledge, it's extremely similar to MK8 in the scheme of things, except without a few pieces of tech like fire hopping or demon sliding. It would've been a nearly identical section except with different names and a slightly different story
Summoning Salt Yeah, of course doing both MK8 and MK8DX would be a waste of time, i just think it would’ve been better if you did MK8DX and not MK8, because there is more tech with 200cc and also a 3rd level mini turbo
I already watched the entire thing before I found this
Imagine beating a record after 3 years just to get beat the same day...
“Ah shit, here we go again”
-C.J
By the same dude who held that record lmao.
32:20 every time I watch one of your videos I’m like “He’s the speed running John Bois” and this reference just kills me. Great stuff man keep it up.
I've started watching your videos to wind down to sleep, because they're surprisingly calming - the only problem now is that I struggle to stop the video and move to actual sleep because they're too interesting :'))
"The runner was known as Boomer"
Ok
@@otaviorbs what
Do you guys not get the joke?

Summoning Salt: “he has used speedhacks in MKWii before.”
Me: “Thank you.”

Everybody gangsta till Summoning Salt pulls out HOME - We're Finally Landing.

that song man... that fuckin song....
*cries in cheesy 80s cgi*
I get goosebumps every time
We can barely see through our tears
I'm just proud that I as a child, 20 years ago, discovered the shortcut on rainbow road on my own.
I was playing with the jump button and thought it was funny how you could hover the entire downhill section right after the start.
And then I just tried to jump over it, to the left. I didn't make it the first time, but I came close to a piece of road and then I kept trying until I made it and beat all my friends on that track :D
which rainbow road?
@@KrinkleCut the one with the rainbow on the road
@@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia But which one, there's a lot
@@KrinkleCut prolly the n64 rainbow road, that's the one mentioned in the video
@@deodorantenthusiast6394 ok
this is not a drill
the mkwii rainbow road ultra shortcut has been successfully done in a non-TAS run
By Arthur
god bless that lad.
yeah by arthur: ruclips.net/video/2TFksZ2JA34/видео.html
it’s been done by Logan and Lawrence too now
@@CowMaam haha I see u on troy’s comments and vids
Love your videos man. I'm not a speedrunning fanatic, but you make the stories accessible and entertaining.
Jacob Johnson this!!!
Spot on. I have never speed run in my life but your videos are super interesting
I've never tried speedrunning, I've never played a mario game yet these videos are still enjoyable.

What’s the intro music for Mario kart 64?
@Summoning Salt
Can we get this pinned?
“There may not be many athletes left named Bob”
The RUclips cinematic universe is vast
Thank you! I was listening to this while falling asleep and wasn’t sure if I’d dreamt that. :) The Bob Emergency is just great.
Hearing your small speech at the end of the video is the most satisfying thing. This video was a special ending to the Mario Kart Marathon on your channel. Good work to you and all the runners who helped in making this video happen
I'm going through a rough time in my life right now, but your videos always bring a smile to my face without fail. Thank you, and please keep these up.
If you want to speak to someone feel free!
Whatever it is, Times will become better brotha
We gotchu bro. Love from Canada.
keep your head up man, itll get better
Feel hugged, man.
I’ve just spent 47:04 minutes of my life that I will never get back...
I would definitely do it again
I'm currently doing that
Ive watched this 50 times already
You could have been out committing felonies.
It's like I'm meditating, so soothing. Especially that background music!
I would too
The editing on these videos is incredible. Really gives a lot of gravity to something that's ultimately not all that important (in the grand scheme of things). Great job, as always.
Wow I love that reference to Jon Bois at 32:22. The Bob Emergency is real
Thank you, I was hoping someone else noticed
@@JoseJoseTHS I just came the exact same realization.
Yeah I noticed it too.
It’s a full on Bob crisis at this point
Oh it is too!!!!!
Summoning Salt, I don’t know if you saw my Twitter post where I tagged you. But I managed to topple Gogoku7 back in February and take the Mk7 Rainbow Road World Record from him! You weren’t wrong when you said Gogoku would be beaten someday. I’m actually grinding the track again to take the track to a 1:35.7 which is the theoretical human limit despite the Sum of Best now being a 1:35.604
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)
Congrats! And you just earned yourself a subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing! My uploads are a bit slow currently as I'm taking 3 classes for college this Summer. But I should hopefully be able to get an upload out within the next couple days :)
:)
"Gogoku went on a 5 year crusade to lower the record by 0.25 seconds" This actually makes me sad and depressed.
Welcome to speedrunning
How is that different from a Sprinter spendig all his athletic life do get 0.1s faster on the 100m dash
Matz G it’s not
@@Matzes I've been there and its really draining... At least I got my high schools record
@@Matzes Because sprinting has other additional benefits.
I love that we still call it “New Boost Technique “ even though it’s twenty years old
When that ds quality went up it was like seeing for the first time
Yes, it looks so weird
😝 pop
The music you use has become so damn iconic of speed running
Damn, the Jon Bois "Bob" reference gave me life. I see you take a lot of influence from him. Keep up the good work.
The music is dead giveaway
Damn, I thought Id be the first to get that deep of a cut.
I heard this too and I was like, "Bro!"
Came here looking for this before I commented myself. Mario Chart Party!
Give us a video game chart party video Summoning Salt
I love people who make things I have no knowledge of or investment in enjoyable for over 45 minutes. You're a real storyteller. Great work :)
This is one of the rare videos you can watch once a while and not getting bored a single moment.
Some of these Videos become a pilgrimige where you return regularly
Other examples are the contra progression and n64 tas explained by bismuth
Your videos are just so relaxing and interesting to watch
I agree the music and his voice are so calming and relaxing!!
the vapourwave helps
@bayj0nes r/iamverybadass
The editing is smooth
Your videos have the best music, commentary and information.
Can’t get enough of the chill music coupled with his voice in the intro. Soo good
What was the name of the song that was in the beginning
@@qcproductions4772 Seconded

Yooooo!! 16:38
This strategy was something I kinda experimented with as a young lad. I just remember thinking “Hey you can bounce pretty far and it’ll let you keep driving if you land it”, but I remember also thinking to myself that it was too difficult to pull off consistently and so I never practiced or thought more of it.
Little did I know, dang
Everyone on new years day: *celebrating with family and friends*

Every once in a while a guy comes along who is just THE GUY at doing a certain thing and it's like magic. Summoning Salt and Speed Run history videos is one of those combinations that's just more than the sum of its ingredients. I like your style man, keep it up.
yes.
also why would ppl dislike this vid.
I couldn’t agree with you more. RUclips’s finest. It doesn’t get better than this!! 👌🏽
Summoning salt is honestly one of the best channels on this cursed platform
Every upload to this channel is hype as fuck and a must watch
I don't know how you can make something seemingly so trivial into a documentary. I am glued to the TV every time I watch these. Amazing job
Nick Childs You should check out Jon Bois.
It's awesome to see your channel and this video featured in the RUclips speedrunning showcase today.

Every time Summoning Salt releases another 40+ min video.
Me: There is no way I can watch a 40+ min RUclips video.
Also Me 40+ min later: Wow, that was amazing.
Can relate
This is what youtube spirit is. Videos so entertaining that u feel time passes in an instant
that's legit me right now... watching a TAS Bot video... OOOO SUMMONING SALT VIDEO!!!! It's 40 minutes... I'll watch tomorrow... *Proceeds to click video*
Sports has Jon Bois.
Science has Vsauce.
Gaming has Summoning Salt.
Did you catch the Jon Bois reference in this vid? Hint: 32:22
I did. That's what brought me to the comment section
summoning salt and jon bois are friends (or so i am led to believe)
@@ilikegus7274 and Summoning Salt commented on a chart party vid
I cant decide if I'm sad or glad there arent any stories of speed runners basically punching racism in the face like with Bob Gibson or Bob Beamon
Your vids are phenomenal! Like u said..." the current record doesn't tell the full story". But you manage to pull us in to the drama and intrigue. Bravo man. Bravo!
32:23 I caught that Jon Bois reference glad to say you’ve definitely reached his level. These videos are phenomenal
Chart Party bois we out here
Me: Time to take my mario kart playing to the next level
Me after seeing this video: I have the skill of a toddler.
I know that feel bro

Don't feel too bad, these guys dedicate their lives to these games. It takes a long time to get that good.
Yep

Best Channel no Joke.
Never ever watch 40 min RUclips Videos... but your Videos are diffrent man.
Can Watch this Videos 8h per day !
Yesterday I just realised how long it's been since you've uploaded.

Coincidence?
Just realised it was 47 Minutes
