This Mario 3 Speedrun Breaks the Game (100% Goomba Shoe TAS) 

Thanks again for hosting this, Mitch! And thanks to everyone watching :).

mitch: killing a goomba shoe with a goomba shoe is forbidden me: its shoeicide

This run reaction is a shoe-in for one of your best videos.

As far as I know, the reason the shoe changes color is that the NES could only load 3 color palates at a time, which means that the shoe is forced to use one of the available palates.

9:31 I love how the plant is equally surprised

Really glad that this TAS exists. It was an absolute blast to watch!

I love the editing, Mitch. Whoever edits your videos deserves praise. The part when you get up to get a soda and the edit highlights weird shit happening in the game and shows your empty chair is so much fun, and I also was tickled by that mild smattering of applause when you made your P-speed joke near the end.

As the person who found debug mode originally, it is neat to see Kuribo's Shoe properly rendered in stages where it normally isn't when debug mode is active. This is likely why it is taking on unusual colors. Typically the shoe changes to rather odd sprites unless a level happens to have specific enemies (e.g. a Buzzy Beetle and/or a red Spiny.)

This run is just "I didn't know you could do that!"

Tompa FTW!

The visible confusion on mitch's face throughout this run 😂

Ive always called a midair jump off a ledge a "Donky Kong" jump because of how you can do it in the DKC games. Seems to be a similar concept here where you bounce off a ledge you are considered airborn but havent jumped, so you get your jump while in that state. The boot is such an interesting mechanic thats only used in a very limited set of levels. I also love the fact that ita color changes so frequently as its being swapped via the pallet changes.

This whole run is a love letter to my childhood. ❤

How could they just forget about the Goomba shoe in future Mario installments? Who ever designed the enemies love Goombas

I'm loving all these TAS reaction videos

Tompa is a bloody lunatic mad genius lol This was top

During the tank stage where Mitch was making those high pitched "oooow" sounds, in an uncanny coincidence my cat was whining and making those same sounds. XD

just had to 'boot' up this speedrun.... didn't you?

This run is badass. Like you said, this is definitely something I've always wanted to see.

Love your vids Mitch!

It kind of reminds me of the roll-jump from the Donkey Kong Country games where if you roll off an edge, your jump is still preserved and you can do a jump in mid-air 😊

Love the TAS videos, really show how great of a game mario three is

I've been watching all your latest uploads, they have all been awesome!

Goomba's shoe has the same mechanic from Rattly (the snake buddy) from DKC2. They can jump after they left walking the edge of a platform.

this was fun to watch on stream there were some real monkaS moments with that double jump not gonna lie

These impractical TAS runs are amazing, Tompa's great at these. Honestly, I'd love to see some full on (100% maybe?) TAS runs that are bad in the sense of speedrunning but show a lot of weird and complicated clips and mechanics just to show them off. Kinda like what Tompa did in 7-9 in the frog suit run with the intentional lag frames, but to a bigger extreme and throughout the whole run. I feel like that'd make a great video, Mitch explaining half the stuff and the creator of the TAS explaining the other half in the chat 🤣

12:38 Tompa w the red Octobers 😮‍💨👌

Commentary Mitch is a fantastic alternate version of Mitch. 🤘

Wicked video, you rock Mitch!!

Ok that was really awesome! I wanted to do this myself years ago after learning about that game genie "debug" code that could start you with all kinds of stuff like starting in the boot. I love these kinds of speedruns showing things in games you normally don't see!

Tompa you a sweaty legend man....I love this channel soo much

Always wondered what it would be like to use the shoe in more levels. Great TAS!

This was delightful fun! 🎉

3:24 the laugh is on beat

Very well done both of you! Goomba shoe, one mf my kids' favourite!

Hi Mitch! I still love Tompa's comments being edited onto the screen whenever you ask a question. Also, this TAS fellow is pretty great!

Coolest smb3 tas video ever.

It was very fun to watch even when It was the same old smb3. That goomba shoe give It a new taste 😂👍

12:36 that red goomba shoe looking kinda fly ngl

i used to sometimes die on the shoe level so i could play it twice haha this is great

18:20 I love how your face matches the game's confused sound effect. LOL

That's a great Tompa TAS ever!

This is sick, would love to watch you play with shoe mod

I’ll put myself in your shoes! 😂😂

It was fun to watch😁

Love the SNES Sim City music under the intro ;)

Those colored goomba shoes was the coolest part of it😁

immaculate editing fellow mitch, gg :))

The year is 2023. You've wanted to see the goomba shoe in more levels since 1988. Now here we are.

Always wondered why the shoe was not made available for more use in original game, perhaps because lots of the levels would be way too easy. Particularly like the bright red variety, looks as if mario is in a xmas stocking. Definitely one of the best and essential TAS experiments 💚

Don’t criticize someone else until you’ve walked a mile in his goomba shoe.

Best accessorised tas of all time

Something I didn't know I needed.

Yesssssssssssssssssssss, Tompa giveth and Tompa taketh away.

Mitch should invent some new categories for SMB3 and challenge the community to get new WR in them.

17:36 That’s Goomba Shoe on Goomba Shoe crime 😂

I believe, don't quote me, that the Goomba Shoe can stomp anything a statue stomp can.

Mario steals a Goomba’s drip and annihilates King Koopa’s forces (Documented in 4K)

I've never witnessed this level of Goomba shoe.

You know, a powerup that just let you keep normal non-underwater physics in underwater worlds would be frigging cool.

Dude, i had no idea those hidden blocks leading up to the P-Switch in 2-3 were there haha, i've always just accessed it by flying

"All the other kids, with Kuribos' pumped up Kicks, better run better run, faster than my Bullet, Bill" 🎵👟

all the colors of the goomba shoe are actually really interesting lol

This was awesome. & if I remember correctly, the 1-up in 6-3, and the vine in 6-10 is all white, just like the goomba shoe when playing those levels. So if the shoe matches the color of all the Koopa bosses, the 1-ups & vines would probably be that color too. Now I want to put a 1-up in the world 2 boss room just to see a sick looking silver 1-up. Sadly, nobody puts blocks in boss rooms of romhacks because the graphics will not display properly without some advanced level hacking. But the 1-up should look okay in there because it’s a sprite.

Here's my metaphor, 5-3 was like a world famous rock band doing a show in their home town.

Go, go, Goomba!

Omg this video is making my life!! 🥾 🥰

Gotta make a t-shirt with all the different colored goomba shoes. I'd but it.

I wanna see someone do SMB3mix all levels w/ Yoshi. That would be interesting.

I wasn't aware the goomba shoe could defeat the waffle

Zebob's underrated comment at 8:35 about showing your hands so that we know you're not using them XD

I really enjoyed this TAS. Is there a hack out there for Mario 3 where you can keep the Stone hammer bro suit?

Don’tcha know I’ve got the boot Take a walk on your face Don’tcha know I’ve got the boot Put you back in your place

11:10 pm: Alrighty. Even though I go into work 90 minutes earlier on Fridays I'll still get a full night's sleep if I got to bed rn. 11:11 pm: [Sees this thumbnail and 38-minute run time] Fuck.

We always just called it "the boot" lol

super funny video

34:08 look at that slide off Rocky's head! Steeze

Just wondering that how long it took to make this! Fantastic video!

Bowser just got the boot

Great video as always Mitch. Tompa ty for trying out the TAS Question: Is it possible to do the same clips you did without TAS? Would there be more lvls you need to skip?

Get the "OUCH!" From the ps1 Grinch game, lmao

Damn, is that the new 🎵One, two, Kuribo's Shoe🎼 🎵Three, four, kick in the door🎼 🎵Five, six, Tool Assist~🎼 Yo, that is straight FIRE!

Gotta avoid those shiny yet deadly yum yum mushrooms.

Just killed 5 lights by jumping on one

31:22 - Turdquoise 😄 Funny video, but that part was especially entertaining. You just ruined a color. I hope you're happy with yourself. 😆

Can the rotating thing in World 3-3 be applied for more speed boost in just regular SM3?

If there's not a speedrunner named Goo Mah Shoe there really needs to be.

Someone count how many times Mitch says "Goomba Shoe" 😂

The term “goomba shoe” was not meant to be said this many times. My brain no longer recognizes it.

I always referred to it as the ninja boot.

The goomba shoe color is dependent on what palette is being accessed by memory. Is it not? Meaning it must change color.

I think I only learned the proper name of the shoe because it was present in a fangame, Super Mario Bros X, along with two other shoes. A red one that bounced on lava called “Podoboo’s Shoe” and a blue one that flew called “Lakitu’s Shoe.” Pretty sure that was also how I learned Podoboo’s name too.

good job mitch

12:42 Mario with Wendy’s color pallet looks like Grand Dad

I dare you to say "Goomba shoe" one more time

The shoe is underrated

So, how many levels are faster with the shoe, than without? If there were a standard shoe item that could be gained, it would be interesting to know how it would be used for runs.

Is it not possible to use flute then take some cloud then take another flute and skip pyramid with the second flute?

When is the Goomba shoe RTA happening?!?

Ok, but can you wear the goomba shoe while you have the frog suit?
