NEW Skips have changed Mario Bros Wii Speedruns Forever 

Watch the TAS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1DNo4i29scc.html

That ceiling skip is such a neat unintentional throwback to classic world 1-2.

I have a friend who loves penguins and the penguin Mario suit, I'll send her this video immediately.

the penguin suit stays ON during the speedrun.

The whole bit with the rotating pipe being capped off with "That is... until Penguin Mario came to town." Is just very comical to me for some reason.

Great video! Loved opening up with the Salt video to show how big a deal this really was considering the 21 seemed so far away at the time. Also incredible TAS! Will definitely be checking that out now.

Thank you for covering this game's largest any% discovery in years!

We've broken another minute barrier, gamers! Going above the ceiling seems familiar, yet completely new! I was also not expecting the Penguin Suit to be used this well in the route!

I'm mostly just shocked that someone managed to enter the pipe in 8-airship early, that was the highlight for me!

These guys must be crazy 😮

Those new tricks are so mesmerizing to watch. The parts when Mario is just FLYING through the stage with the ice flower and penguin suit is crazy!

Great video! I love hearing about games getting new discoveries like this even after so much time.

Fantastic video! I love hearing technical breakdowns of a TAS. This might be the most exciting TAS improvement to come out in awhile!

really awesome video lunatic, thanks for covering this🎉🎉🎉

Great video. Thanks for your very precise introduction about TAS. :D

“But there’s a twist, I mean literally, it’s twisting, or rather rotating, along with three other pipes” 🤓

I stumbled upon this video and really liked it so I then proceeded to binge watch all of your videos. The way you speak really shows how interesting the topic is and makes you want to know more.

this is crazy! never thought there was this much yet to be discovered in the game

This is why the ice flower and penguin suit are not allowed in Mario maker:

Speedrunning really creates such an increased lifespan for any game, creating new discoveries even 14 years after every last intended secret nook and cranny has been discovered.

Damn amazing quality, love wathcing these speedrun related vids. Subbed

I loved playing this game when I was just a child, me and my older brother would play for hours.

0:49 IT'S BEEN 14 YEARS

seeing this game i loved as a kid get absolutely pushed to the limit with these awesome speedrun tricks is mind blowing

I have watched this TAS video since it's published. Really amazing. I also hope someday I can challenge this speedrun in SRC but they banned emulators.

I remember going to my friend's house on the weekends in kindergarten to play this game with him. It's awesome seeing new discoveries!

Fascinating TAS! I am not very familar with NSMB Wii speedrunning, so seeing some of these advanced penguin suit movements, and advanced infinite walljumping is interesting nontheless.

Walk like a Pengiun? That's Very Slow. Run like a Penguin in a Mario Bros Wii TAS? That's HYPER FAST! 😂

I waited so long for a video about the new strats. It's so great that you made such a god tier video about it! ❤

This was the first game I ever played. Seeing it being so optimized brings me joy

Absolutely crazy TAS and WR!

I love how at exactly 4:20 you talked the limitations of human anatomy.

I understand why this took so long to find. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a tough game. Old school tough

I just watched the summoning salt video two days ago this is very good timing

I saw the new tas a while ago, and when I saw the above the castle, I was just like "oh wow I haven't seen that before, neat!", didn't realize that was the first time it was ever revealed! wow

I'm so glad my attention has been brought to this great discovering both👏

This is amazing, it has changed completely the speedrun

Nice video g

I always knew one day sub 22 speedruns could happen, and it finally happened. but what I didn't expect is the insane ways people find JUST to save time

just wanna say that little bit of editing at around 1:21 goes hard as fuck. Great editing on the beat there :D

As someone who adored this game as a kid and even today, I’m still shocked people still speedrun this masterpiece and find some new and cool things to make the runs more interesting and more impressive.

I really love how this game still has content and mods being made on it

5:05 Mario straight up clipped into the spikey green ball

Excellent video

At first, I clicked on this video fearing the clickbait and the run not actually being changed a lot Turns out it wasn't clickbait, the TAS is incredibly different now, nice

I remember discovering the ceiling skip when i was in 3rd-5th grade. Glad more people are discovering this.

Now that I think about it this was probably intentional throwback to the first mario game

What is the name of the epic soundtrack at the back while you was explaining the pipe pace ?

Love the Thousand year door music.

OMG THE FUNNY "AND JUST LIKE THAT THE COMMUNITY WAS IN REMISS" SONG AT THE START

Mario to Sonic: "Look at me. I am the super speedy blue furry now."

How did I not know about this sooner?!

Really awesome video! The NSMB speedrunning community thanks you!

This is just unbelievable

Wait until Mayro hears about this.

I rember seeing this tas

I always wondered in the TAS why the penguin didn't just run to the pipe, wasting time. Now I understand it saved way more time than the previous WR

The beauty of speedrunning

What is the song at the end of the video? It's beautiful

11:15 that song sounds like it's from the legendary starfy? if it's not from there where is it from?

How feasible are the tricks shown in this TAS with the ice flower and penguin suit? Are there runners who are already implementing them their runs?

Another absolute banger 🔥

Out of all the ideas, they went into Power Up Panels, used the Penguin Suit, and even optimized the STAR. crazy!

Videos like this are so amazing.

NSMB wii has such good theme design, like the massive stone walls with lava and the fire holders

I don't know if I missed it in the video, but I don't think I got quite _how_ nobody thought to try this until now, or why it might be difficult. He said there was a barrier further along the castle, but what was preventing anyone from doing it at the start all this time? Pretty wild for a literally 40 year old trick haha. Oldies but goodies.

I just noticed the transparency background on the thumbnail. Is that new? That's really clever

That ice flower trick with climbing one way was probably inspired by the one in mario maker

Very cool video

I wish I was mario, then people would think I'm cool

i have always said nomatter how unrealistic a goal may seem in speedrunning it will be done at some point

i didn't even know there are skips in this amazing game!!!!

“I’m inside-a your walls, Bowser!”

this is awesome

lore accurate mario

Everyone is hyping ceiling skip but that pipe skip on the airship is just *chefs kiss*

6:40 probably not important for speedrunning, but you can have more than 2 Ice balls. After the 2nd is thrown there's a long timer until a 3rd can be thrown, but can be done in certain situations

cool vid but the strat is called the meal not atc

nah that’s just penguin mario using 0.1% of his power

great video

the way that the TAS saved over a minute of time with the penguin suit, which was never even considered, reminds me of how often in games, the "meta " is typically not even the best choice. seriously, in most competitive games, the best choice isn't the best if you followed someone Elses advice instead of applying your own game logic to decide what is best for you to use. for instance, TF2 : pre jungle inferno. every spy was using the ambassador because it had headshot damage, even though its damage penalty and slower firing speed made its real DPS with 100% headshots only slightly better then no headshots with the stock revolver. TF2 : post jungle inferno. the spies were no longer using the ambassador, even though the only nerf was its long-range damage, and its Damage up close was what mattered 9 times out of 10. COD mobile : i played a tournament the day i installed because my friend wanted to play with me on it, i equipped a shotgun instead of what is typically meta in cod games simply because i wanted to use a shotgun. i got 2nd in that tournament.

Honey wake up, new SummoningSalt Lore just dropped

had no idea skips even existed in this game

I always thought it’s strange when TASs are similar to regular play. I feel like TASs will end up looking crazy and different.

I find it more impressive how that insane TAS only saves 1 minute. Seems crazy to me how good the actual players on the leaderboard must be...

Amazing video I don't even watch SMBW speedruns

I checked the TAS after 4 minutes of this video, but somehow hearing about first cycle skip in MM shocks me even more. What the fuck thats actually a thing now? holy damn

ive tried to get over there as a joke but I had no idea that it was possible

Suddenly, the Penguin route is performed humanly.

mario bros wii was my first game ever, is you showed 8 year old me this TAS speedrun, my mind would've exploded

this is SO FUCKING COOL

Yo I thought this was a summoning salt vid for the entire duration of me watching it

Above the Castle was discovered on my 14th birthday!

something very sad is that my NSMB wii disc has a mark and it breaks once i enter an area

Q: does the tas you use left and right on the same frame? Idk if it would give an advantage or not.

I was surprised to see them go in a mushroom house lmao, really cool video! Do you think people might try for ice flower/penguin IL runs? (idk if they do those in this game)

Speedrunning is immensely entertaining

bro had similar voice of Summoning Salt, amazing

How did nobody find ATC before 2023?!

I was watching the tas before and I thought it was a gimmick run. Little did I know they were giga brain
