How Speedrunners Completely Broke Luigi's Mansion 

This was supposed to be a Halloween special... oops. Either way, I hope you enjoyed this extensive history of Luigi's mansion any% (Out of Bounds)! If you want to learn more about Luigi's Mansion, I highly recommend watching GlitchDoctor's video (he helped with research on my video): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n-arUDijsEI.html [EDIT: 1/10/2023] GLITCHDOCTOR / GLITCHPHD HAS BROKEN THE ANY% WR WITH A 7:36!!!!

Imagine haunting this mansion all these years, just for some Italian guy to come clean up in under 8 minutes

The fact that, THAT strat was discovered by someone fucking around playing the game with their feet is insane. That's some "how many timelines did we sub 8 in?" shit.

I still can't beleive I found a basically frame perfect strat just from playing casually with a friend. It was mildly frustrating not having it recording (especially since I had my recording equipment set up to record the area totals to compete with them), but I am happy to be a part of it! Here's to sub seven minutes in the future. Also, sorry for delaying the Halloween special :p

Red's mic being broken like that during such an insane discovery while playing with his feet is so funny

I love these types of videos, half because they’re interesting and half because instead of actual people names we get “fire crotch 219” 🤣.

That boss music playing for the last 5 minutes made me realize just how hype these videos could be if most Speedrun docs stopped following the SummoningSalt formula. Chill vibes are great but the manic vibes in this video were an awesome change of pace

For those watching this vid, make sure to keep watching till the end. Things get insane. Thank you again for shouting out my video as well as letting me be a part of this! I can't wait to see how the record gets lowered. All it takes is that one run where everything falls into place.

I think it’s funny how sock folder’s splits were: “kill dead baby” and “Hit last split” 😂

This deserves much more attention. Your speedrunning documentary style is on par with the very best, can't wait to see more!

Even though I knew what was gonna be in de video, all the plot twists are great. Nice vid man :)

The glitch in the Japanese version of Luigi's Mansion where you can instantly end the King Boo boss fight just by touching his crown is freaking amazing! Too bad is banned on speedruns.

Luigi’s mansion is one of the speedgames that I’ve always heard about but never looked into. Amazing vid Lunatic, the quality gets better and better with every upload

Amazing video. Really glad to see this speed game getting the love and recognition it deserves. Well done!

Amazing video! I'm glad that my never-ending ramblings about cool out of bounds route ideas ended up actually snowballing into the madness that is the new PAL route. Can't wait for the day people start actually going for that route, or until we find a way to make it NTSC-viable. Really happy that you showed it off to all these new people because it definitely deserves the recognition, as does everything else in the video! 😄

Great to see LM speedrunning getting the attention it deserves! Glad to say a was/am a part of the community and have seen the progress of this speedrun

I am always fascinated by how much you are able to break games without them just crashing or something

This video is so well made, I was thinking at around the 20:00 mark how this video could have 20min left, then once again at around 30:00 then once again at around 35:00, really just kept me on my toes the whole time. Also the music switching to the Great Sea theme from Wind Waker when Linkus was mentioned at 15:38 was such a nice touch.

These kind of videos make me want to get into speedrunning, but at the same time, I know I would not be able to handle the frustration and amount of practice it involves. Absolute insanity!

I somehow figured out the finger vibration by tensing arm muscles mashing method when I was young. It's faster than the double thumb (at least for me) but can only do it for a short time before my arm muscles just stop working right. It's a very niche ability but I've never lost a button mashing minigame.

I want to say thank you to everyone watching this. You're all doing your part to keep this game alive. I constantly tell people this is my favorite game, the core memories I have with the game are crucial. Thank all of you again for keeping interest in this gem. Hope life treats yall well!

Really glad to have been a part of helping with research for this video :D Great job! Fun video to watch :)

i know absolutely nothing about speedrunning or luigi's mansion, but seeing so many people come together over the course of 10 years to get such an insane time makes me so happy

This is insane, I always love seeing speedrun lore. Thanks for all the hard work that went into making this, great video!

This was the craziest ending to a video ever Good job as always

I remember playing this game growing up and seeing the Chauncey health while he was bouncy glitch years ago. If only I knew how important that was. Absolutely amazing video. Worth every second

I had no idea Luigis mansion had such a revolution last year. Crazy.

Great video! Awesome music/editing and very informative. The only speedrunning trick I ever knew about in this game was the original OOB from glitch compilations, it’s insane to see how far it’s come since then!

Great video! Love hearing all kinds of speedrun history, especially all the fun usernames involved

thanks for the great video on Luigi's Mansion! I've been keeping tabs on it for a long time and was happy to see a comprehensive video about the any% category

Amazing watch man. Glad I got to be a small part of this game's history.

Awesome Video tons of history packed into a sleek video thanks for making it ;D

thank you for this insightful video!! the editings amazing as always!!

thank you for the fantastic video !! subbing ! the dedication of these speed runners never ceases to amaze me !!

You're so underrated. Really hope this video gets the attention it deserves

I love how emotional this community is. Speedrunners are the best. Excellent video. The one-cycle Boo was amazing.

Great stuff! The TTYD music from that Twilight Town @10:56 gave me childhood flashbacks, even more than the Luigi's Mansion footage.

this is my first time ever watching a documentary on speedrunning, and im really happy that i chose to watch this!!! you're very informative while not boring, and the absolute amazing timesaves the community found are so interesting to learn about. i definitely want to learn more about speedrunning history because of this video, and maybe even finally try it out myself!

Amazing video!! Ending was such a twist!! Never saw THAT coming!

Awesome video! I was involved in the LM community around the MichaelT00/Zircon/Switchmaster64 days. I remember how incredible it was when crown theft was discovered, as well as how difficult Any% was at the beginning.

Dawg I'm watching this video and I'm like damn this voice sound familiar... and then I was like oh its the homie John 😂 crazy that one of your videos just popped up in my recommended lol. Keep up the good work dawg you're pulling crazy views!!!

The speedrunning community seems more chill and wholesome than I expected. While it is still competitive, people will often encourage and help each other out in finding new techniques and will revel in the discoveries they make together. It's just nice to see people being bros and not fighting over petty things

one of my most favorite games, hyped to see records getting beaten in 2023! nice video, couldn't even blink once watching it for 40 minutes

Turns out the reason Luigi did absolutely nothing at Mario's parties was because he was exhausted after snarling time and space in his mansion.

Been watching since the "Teh Urn" days, and I love seeing these runners get the recognition they deserve for breaking such an awesome game! Great video!

I knew about the giltch, never knew this information on it in detail. Thanks for decompiling it all!

I love the speedrun explanation thing of saying the year in that very specific way. Feels like I'm about to be taken on a journey.

i don't speedrun whatsoever, but these are always super interesting and fun to watch! i bet we'll see someone pull off that 5 minute run one day, no sweat

Thank you for the roller coaster of entertainment. This was a great watch and informative.

Speedrunners and speedruns are absolutely insane. I don't speedrun but I LOVE watching it and seeing folks do it. Because these stories of finding new ways to beat the game faster is just incredible. I get so hyped when I see new records and the excitement of people sharing their findings.

This is fascinating! Thank you for putting this together :)

As a luigi's mansion fanatic and luigi fan (as you can tell) I thank you so much for this video honestly. Earned a sub and you're so close to 50k!

Damn seeing all these really takes me down memory lane. I first started running this in 2012 and seeing all of this really brings back good memories. I remember all the times when the skew setups were made and most of the runners from 2012 to 2015. I actually did try this run a few times but I couldn't ever really finish it or get past the OoB part before King Boo's room. I love how far this game has gone. I've been through some bad parts speedrunning this game but i'm glad where it is now. It was my first Speedgame too. Also I had no idea someone found the R Pump in 2012 and no one knew lmao

This game is literally my childhood. As a kid with limited internet access at the time, I had no idea about video game communities, speedrunning, and stuff like that. Now, older, it seriously warms my heart to see the blossoming moments of this community, and just how seriously impressive 100% runs, and all the rest are. Thank you so much for the blast of nostalgia, and the well produced video. You truly made my day

I love how it seemed like the video was over multiple times but there was just more and more. It was a great way to make it feel like I was part of the discovery in a way. Instead of saying from the beginning that the fastest possible time could be in the 5 minute range, you started with just under 8 minutes and kept throwing us for a loop. It was great and unexpected

Been waiting for a video like this for Luigi’s Mansion for years!! 👏🏼👏🏼

okay so- for these kinds of videos, i make sure to not look at the time bar incase theres some kinda twist, and to keep the suspense of any given 'and then this happened' moments but i was MAJORLY caught off guard by the twist after the sub 8, and then it just kept going and going. this was really well made and kept me on edge the entire time

Thank you for this video it’s one of my favorite games in general let alone the speedruns

That was a crazy 40 mins ride, I’m subscribing just to wait for a part 2 of this video. Possibly a decade later but it will be worth the wait.

I was so close to clicking off the video when 32:41 happened, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS GAME lol. Excellent video! I'll have to keep an eye out for anyone who goes for this new insane route

holy cow, LM and SMS were the games that got me into watching speedruns a decade or more ago. absolutely amazed to see how much innovation continues to happen for this game

Biggest question is, WHY DOES THIS VIDEO ONLY HAVE 65K VIEWS!??!? Keep up the amazing work! I love your content.

Holy shit, the drama! Not a speedrunner myself or particularly interested but you make saving three seconds in video game seem like it changes the world. Love it, great video!

Apologies for not commenting earlier while this video was still fresh. It's nice to have played a small role of being a hidden originator of a now known strat in these speedruns. I'm kind of surprised I ended up discovering R-Pumping first and not Koopary. Anyways, great video.

It always puts a smile on my face to see one of the first games I learned to speedrun have such a legacy on platforms. It's been years since I've been involved but I still pay attention. Hearing about the spreadsheet leaderboards really took me back. Good stuff.

Twilight Town's music from Paper Mario TTYD creeped the heck out of me back when I played the game when I was a kid, and it creeped me out when you used in this video. That track sends chills down my spine.

Broo awesome video!! Yo totally got me with that bait and switch!! Hahaha well done, I really enjoyed your video!

The world of speedrunning never ceases to be amazing. I'm blown away by the amount of love and dedication that goes into each attempt, the hours that go into research. Nobody loves games as much as speedrunners.

Luigi's mansion is one of my favorite games (growing up) i'll watch any video like this. Awesome content, thank you !

Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

I've never even played Luigi's Mansion but this is a really cool video. Good work bro

:o oh hey I’m finally mentioned in one of these such a sad fate for my glitch

love the content bro keep it up

very cool and interesting video! also, there were many out-of-contextable clips in this video, i had a couple of chuckles xD

recently found you from the lowest percent channel. im enjoying your videos

Luigi's Mansion is my childhood game. Love everything about it. I'm so glad to have stumbled into this epic story of speedrunners doing the impossible. Amazing

Who cares if its a Halloween special? More LunaticJ is all I care about! Surprised that no one was talking about this, but glad that it will finally get some more attention. One day, I'm sure it will possible to do LOTAD route, but who knows when that will be? Great stuff as always!

the fact that Wind Waker music started as soon as Linkus was mentioned was a nice touch lmao

Red's mic being messed up made for the funniest clip I've seen come out of a run LMAO

I remember Scykoh's video on Luigi's Mansion introduced me to glitches such as skew. It's strange to think that so many glitches have been discovered and documented since then.

I'm happy to see how far the "Luigi Sandwich" and edited SFX "owie" OoB video has reached. :D

32:38 This was the tipping point that earned you my sub. Thought I was gonna have a six pack after that!

i'm glad to see that even in 2023 we're getting moments in speedrunning where we're getting "this doesn't seem human viable at the moment", it's weird to be experiencing one of those rather than it being a retrospective (like for example, MK64s weathertenko initially being considered impossible, and now there are 3/3 weathertenko times, just as an example) it's a prime set up for "at the time runners didn't attempt this..." in a few years, will be interesting to see how it develops

The final skew was amazing to see, as when i was a kid playing, i always wanted to climb through and go straight to mario

In another timeline: "So I wouldn't expect anyone to take the plunge anytime soo-" _sting plays as January 2023 shows onscreen_

The fact that all these glitches coincided to create an ultimately optimized run is incredible. I remember being blown away by just the original floor 1.5 clip lol, this game's speedrun community is insane.

Fantastic vid :) those plot twists were incredible

Finally a time for PAL to shine!!

That one-cycle king boo fight was the most intense thing I've ever seen in my life.

as a big fan of pablo it makes me so happy to see him get some recognition like this :]

I discovered accidentally on my playthroughs of that game (I played Lugii's mansiona ton when I was a kid since I love replaying it and the gameplay loop) It was around 2004 or 2005, where just messing around I ended up behind Chansey's Big key chest and when interacting I see luigi like wanting to fall, kept going and I ended up in 1.5 and just explore area 2. I always did that to get the boos freed early, honestly I didn't have much friends who had Lugii's mansion back in the day, so this lil discovery was kept to myself. But it was very fun discoring this glitch all by myself

what a great video, i never knew how busted this game was!

I am baffled that R-Pumping wasn't know. My brother and I discovered this when we were messing around trying to catch Boos.

Wow you had at the end there 😂💯 great video my man!!

I’ve watched your videos before and I’ve just now noticed I haven’t subscribed yet. Well, after this great video, I can safely say that has changed.

what a great video… the ending was so hype

Finding new things in a game JUST as a creator is finalising a script for a documentary video, gives me very big 'OoB Anywhere in Super Paper Mario' vibes. Same thing happened there where someone was messing around with items trying to get out of bounds before the scanner room and then just casually snapped the video game's back with a gold bar.

First off, i tought this was a copy of summoning salt channel, but i have to admit, you sir make good content and is not a copy of whatsoever of any other youtube channel I’ve seen I’ve enjoy your content and subscribed aswell I hope you make it and thanks for your videos, keep it on king!

just found this amazing video watched it checked leaderboards... they are actually 3 seconds off sub 5 minutes right now i cant believe it

Speed running is legit crazy. Thank you for letting me in on it
