Of course AndrewG had a piece of the record for a while.
This is his 6th upload this year, meaning he uploads about one every 316,224,000 frames assuming non-PAL hardware. Now imagine a bus arrives once every 316,224,000 frames. If you show up on the 1st frame, you'd need to wait about 2 months for a bus to arrive and take you to the next Summoning Salt video. But if you arrive on the 316,223,999th frame, you'll barely need to wait at all between uploads!
Every time I hear that opening tune, I feel nostalgic for games and speedruns that I had no involvement with. There's something oddly melancholic about seeing clips from an earlier time of recorded games with poor audio, poor quality capture, and people figuring out little tricks for their specific speedrun game of choice.
Finally got time to watch it. Excellent as always. I wonder how much time it takes to make one of this videos.
For some reason it bothers me that he always says Super Mario "Bros" instead of "Brothers", even though I guess that's technically how the game title is spelled out.
