POV: Bowser at the end of the level Mario runs past you, but instead of grabbing the axe immediately he just turns and stares at you, emotionless. You try to reach him, but you're not close enough. You realize that the timer was never for Mario, but for you.
"So imagine you've got a bus that you're taking to a date you really don't want to be on, but you don't want to hurt the person's feelings, so instead you aim to miss the bus as often as possible."
The slowest way to beat the game is actually to have someone do this exact run, but on a spaceship traveling near the speed of light, so the total time taken is stretched out over a much longer time relative to an outside observer on earth due to time dilation.
Wouldn't their time be the same and really what they observe kosmic or us viewing the spaceship just be slower. From the relativity perspective we would be traveling at the speed of light relative away from them so it wouldn't really matter... at least that is what I remember from some pop sci books I read over ten years ago.
@@Bageer1 Moving relative to each other doesn't matter, what counts is relative to the rest of the universe. There is also that one is accelerated and the other one isn't.
There is a huge possible improvement. If you exploit the game's mechanics to get to the very right of the screen (backwards jumps, etc.) and touch the flagpole, Mario will teleport to the left side of the screen. If Mario then falls in a pit, the game will take an extraordinarily wrong time to transition to the next level. When it does, the life counter will not change, so it doesn't count as dying. That is my big brain play here.
@@kr1v Because doing the glitch in 6-3 gets the game's programming stuck in a truly infinite loop, hard-locking the game. Unlike 5-2 and 6-1 which do eventually break out of the glitch loop and advance to the next level.
you could also do the infinite lives trick, die loads of times on the same level, and when you are at one life do it again. this would make a forever loop.
Holy cow. 8-4 looks like it would be absolutely terrifying if there was serious competition for this category. The pipe-wrapping basically means you have to wager up-front how fast you can beat the rest of the level, and all at the end of nearly an hour and a half of deathless play. At least in regular speedruns, finishing 8-4 a few frames slow won't always kill the run.
I don't think that would be a problem (unless you're really unlucky with how the timing works out). If you have the maximum possible number of loops, there'd still probably be plenty of safe time. And doing one slower would likely make winning impossible if there's serious competition, so there's no uncetainty involved.
Actually, what's the deal if parents are home? A few years back my 17-year-old GF was visiting me. We were sleeping on basement floor, parents were present in upper floor. And we had sex. So what's the deal that parents should be away? That's just stupid.

I find it fascinating that this is one of the few games that can actually have a slowest "speedrun." Unlike other games, SMB has no pit stops, the timer is constantly ticking away. In other games, you could just stand around doing nothing for as long as you please, potentially giving the game no time limit. The SMB slowrun can definitely be optimized further. My guess is that a fire flower on all hammer Bowser castles could lag the game even further. Although I barely know this game.
@@fi4re Speaking of which, ISTR the Japanese _SMB2_ has at least one warp zone that sends you to previous worlds. Without additional restrictions, a run like this could go on indefinitely, just by making loops with those warps.
Nobody has seriously tried to get as high a score as possible in this game. (Without dying, obviously.) That would be insanely fun to watch. You'd have to put a lot of thought into strategy. The spots where you can infinitely hop on koopa shells? You'd have to find a way to stop hopping and then get it going again. Stuff like that. Getting to the end ASAP would be just as important as collecting every coin and killing every enemy you see. I drool at the thought of finally seeing this done.
They can be both at the same time, because they're 4 parralel universes ahead of other runners. Gotta kill time somehow while waiting for the competition to make things interesting again.
Possible timewaste: -PAL version -find some dumb way to lag the game into the ground -top of flagpole? -arbitrary code execution (that doesn't touch the "time left" or "hurry up" variables)? Feel free to leave more in the replies
Lagging the game is something he already did at 6-Bowser or 7-Bowser, I wonder if doing that on every Bowser might be even slower though. I doubt it's reasonable to allow ACE.
@@leomadero562 Different versions like PAL versus NTSC. Not hacks. Actual legitmate releases. Like LTTP runners use the JP 1.0 version to speed run rather than the NA release. The dialogue would refer the "The princess is in another castle".

Actually this is what you do when you want to speedrun a game that you rly like but you watch the speedrun record and he does something you dint even know could happen then your well frick so were going slow then
How's this? Calculate how many ingame seconds it takes to do all of these tricks for each level, then at the start of every level you're not allowed to move until you have that many exact seconds left (with maybe 10 or so to spare) and then you have to SPEEDRUN all of these SLOWRUNNING tricks before the time runs out. Edit: even better, tho I don't if it's possible or not, make a romhack that only gives you enough time in each stage to do the time wasting tricks, thus removing the waiting around part and making restarting less frustrating
Long about before anyone old me "Speedruns" existed and I knew what they were, I would play games with a few goals in mind about how I thought a perfect player would play. These never included speed and I don't really find that interesting, but otherwise speedrunning lined up with how I played games. It's funny seeing this because "opposite speed" is so close to normal speedrunning, but still so far outside the box compared with every other run. Yet in reality speed is a totally arbitrary and generally one of countless others. For example you could make a hightrun of mario where your average hight across the coarse of the game is your score. What levels do you have to get to and avoid? What tricks work well? Is it fun to watch? How about a clear screen-run where you lose points whenever a bag guy is on screen? Most deaths/kills? Least jumping? Break all blocks? The list goes on a long time.
It also happens at 21:09. That sprite is called "Bruce". I don't know why it happens, but I'm pretty sure you can only find it through that glitch or in The Lost Levels.
@Lucas R when you get close enough to Bowser the color palette swaps to make him green, but if you stand far enough back and he walks forward far enough he can get on screen with the palette used for the rest of the level. Basically he's blue for the same reason the koopas are blue.
This run reminds me of a pool I used to go to. There was a water slide that emptied out into the deep end, and I initially had fun competing with my friends to go down the slide in the fastest time possible. Eventually, that got boring, so we tried to go as slow as possible instead as a new challenge. By creating friction against the slide walls and sitting in certain positions, each of us took so much time that the nearby lifeguard almost banned us from the slide entirely. Good times.
Nintendo right now: "Alright, I think people are finally starting to get tired of our old 2D platformers. We should do something fresh and exciting for our next installment!" "Sir, have you seen this video?" "What is he... Oh my god. Whatever, let's just sell them the same game for the seventh time."
I watched a TAS a while back, I think it was either max coins or max points, where they gained a whole bunch of extra stuff by going into certain levels and repeatedly wrong-warping into coin areas to basically grind coins until they had just enough time to go hit the flagpole. Given that going in pipes stops the timer, I feel like this has a lot of potential to add extra time to the run. If I knew how to make TASes, I would totally do it myself, but I don't know what I'm doing with any of that atm and don't have time to learn. Putting this out there for anyone looking for something to do, perhaps.
only really possible in 4-2 and 6-2 as far as I know. 4-2 would end up making you take a warp which would end up being faster (bad), and 6-2 is very very precise, so not repeatable RTA
I'd suggest a 3 lives and you're out scheme? You can use the intial 3 lives to extend the run further, any other fails would cause the run to be invalid. It would be interesting to see which levels would a run decide to waste a life on.
Thanks! Here's the sequel, not nearly as many people saw it. And I plan to do this again and a lot better in the near future! ruclips.net/video/s0xAsCAsh-U/видео.html
I wonder if it would be possible to do "slowruns" in other games. Imagine records for the slowest times possible...I must admit it would be hilarious and interesting
I think it would only be possible for games that have a built in timer where when it ends you die so that way you actually have to finish the level and not turn the stream into a just chatting stream with videogame background music
@@jaingalt9444 You might be just laughing at the thought, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has genuine slowrun potential! -Timer kills you at 10 minutes -The more rings you collect, the longer ring bonus tally at the end of the level will last. -Special stages (found at checkpoints, of which there are a few in any given level) pause the timer for their duration AND (unlike most other sonic games) have a set duration. Routing for a path to even get to each checkpoint in one run (and figuring out the last possible second for certain bosses/cutscenes) would be something genuinely cool to see IMO.
@Oskar_Dogg That's not true, even if you could get infinite lives, you still can't play it for 100 years. You will have to die, and the one that is playing for 101 years now is definitely a better player than you.
This is so freeing. It's like when you train to be a strongman instead of a bodybuilder and you realise you don't havw to be afraid of food. You just master yourself.

If I knew how to make TASes, I would totally do it myself, but I don't know what I'm doing with any of that atm and don't have time to learn. Putting this out there for anyone looking for something to do, perhaps.
only really possible in 4-2 and 6-2 as far as I know. 4-2 would end up making you take a warp which would end up being faster (bad), and 6-2 is very very precise, so not repeatable RTA
@@Kosmicd12 Neat, thanks for the info!
@@Kosmicd12 Knowing the speedrunning community, "not repeatable RTA" is a myth.
"if i die that'll be really bad" *two seconds later* "i'm gonna do the mushroom jump"
I'd suggest a 3 lives and you're out scheme? You can use the intial 3 lives to extend the run further, any other fails would cause the run to be invalid. It would be interesting to see which levels would a run decide to waste a life on.
8-4. It easily has the most pipes to go through and with the ability to let time expire you'd just keep cycling through them until you died
Not using the 1-Up trick should be prescribed
My phone is showing me this at 30 fps, so i can't see mario when he blinks after taking damage.
That reminds me of that one trick in sm64
Oh, is that why? I was wondering why he kept going invisible.
Ah that explains it
same here, i'm using a really low-end chromebook
ohhhh that explains why i was literally so confused
Same
RUclips is playing the challenge of: Recomending this masterpiece as slowly as possible
I found this concept very engaging and fun to follow along! Hopefully we'll see more runs like this in the future.
Thanks! Here's the sequel, not nearly as many people saw it. And I plan to do this again and a lot better in the near future!

@@Kosmicd12 That's great! Thank you for answering as well mate! :D
Blessed comment thread, can't wait to watch this next
This is actually a super fun challenge. Thanks for the content. Maybe you could do a legit one in the future and make an actual category out of it.
This would actually be a speedrun I could complete
Initially I thought the same but then he said you're not allow die...🙁
I can’t finish 8-2 without dying
You know... this is actually pretty ingenious LMFAO
Crazy how they made it so if you have x0 coins and the clock is on 0 seconds, then zero fireworks go off
Very nice easter egg
not all speedrunners are THIS entertaining to watch
I think I like you a lot, kind sir
He's not a Speedrunner he's a slowrunner check your privileges
This is pretty much me walking to school as slow as i possibly can without being too late
I've been watching so much speedrun content RUclips is recommending slowrunning now.
RUclips basically just said "slow down!"
Now there’ll be a category extension called slow%
"Beating super mario bro's as slowly as possible"
Me: *ART THOU CHALLENGING ME?*
"I'm only 35 minutes behind, it's not that bad!" -me, when I speedrun anything
Can you make the frame rate drop slightly by having tons of entities on screen?
Edit: 17:29 Well that answers my question
you also loose a few extra frames if you take damage and the screen needs to scroll back to center. so taking damage while running is more beneficial.
11:46 - Well if Kosmic is incompetent then I don't want to know what I am.
Big improvement: Try to enter the pipe in 1-1 as often as possible to save plenty of time
The screen can’t scroll left
Normal speedrun ad 5 minutes: almost done
This speedrun: *3rd level*
They would already be done in 5 minutes
That's a slowrun bro
This is the most quarantine thing I have ever seen
I thought this was going to be a "speedrun" where you never held run through all the levels. That could be a cool challenge if you've never done it
i thought the same too
I think theres a jump in world 8 that needs a running jump
I'm pretty sure that's a speedrun people have done called walkathon.
I wonder if it would be possible to do "slowruns" in other games. Imagine records for the slowest times possible...I must admit it would be hilarious and interesting
I'm thinking of doing a BOTW slowrun.
I think it would only be possible for games that have a built in timer where when it ends you die so that way you actually have to finish the level and not turn the stream into a just chatting stream with videogame background music
Slowrun Sonic 🤣🤣
@@jaingalt9444 You might be just laughing at the thought, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has genuine slowrun potential!
-Timer kills you at 10 minutes
-The more rings you collect, the longer ring bonus tally at the end of the level will last.
-Special stages (found at checkpoints, of which there are a few in any given level) pause the timer for their duration AND (unlike most other sonic games) have a set duration.
Routing for a path to even get to each checkpoint in one run (and figuring out the last possible second for certain bosses/cutscenes) would be something genuinely cool to see IMO.
Can’t wait for someone to do a Sonic slowrun.
gotta go slow
HappyLee should do a TAS of this since „Max Coins“ was done and he knows how to gain the most 1-ups to make it longer.
1-ups don't make it longer and Death is not allowed
Oskar_Dogg ayy I forgot about inf lives
@Oskar_Dogg That's not true, even if you could get infinite lives, you still can't play it for 100 years. You will have to die, and the one that is playing for 101 years now is definitely a better player than you.
This is so freeing. It's like when you train to be a strongman instead of a bodybuilder and you realise you don't havw to be afraid of food. You just master yourself.
Finally. Someone who beats it as slow as me!
proof?
@@janmatula1534 lol
Ha! I beat it even slower!
Larree proof?
Damn, to think of you had just hit that final axe with zeros on the timer, you would’ve had the ever elusive world record slowrun time of 1:25:00.00. Better luck next time, Kosmic! I believe in you, bro!!!
The most interesting thing is that the runner has the time to explain in details what he's doing
2018: look! that's world record speedrun
2020: *slow run*
This is actually the best speedrun I've ever experienced!
Good Job dude
Realizing I'm late to the party - I love creative runs like this.
this guy is so happy about his slowrun strats and I love it
