I remember coming out of a deep k-hole and your video was on. Your chill attitude and the familiar NES music and sound effects helped ground me and I zoned out to like 3 of your videos in a row. Thanks pal/buddy/friend.
I hate to admit this lol but spent years playin the first Mario only find out yesterday watching Mike Matei beat it, that Princess Toadstool was actually Smaller than Mario :P. Meaning I never beat that game these guys are so insanely skilled at this shit.
Just beat World 8 for the first time thanks to this. Been playing it since I was a kid but could never beat the final few levels of world 8. Still have my original console and game! 🙂
You bring my childhood when my uncle (who was like my father), brought me games and played together. I am already subscribed but I believe I couldn't pay you for these beloved memories.
I've been playing through the NES Mario games with my niece and nephew as a rapt audience. I always impress on them the importance, or at least the value, of defeating Bowser with fireballs. 'It is the Way'.
When I was a kid and we got this my mom let me stay up passed midnight because she was playing as luigi, we kept winning and she couldn't wait til the next day when I got home to play. (this was like 3rd grade). Have such a big spot in my heart for this game.
I remember when Mario 3 came out and playing it right after Christmas. It was so much better than Mario 2. This game was so amazingly good at the time. Oh man, this brings back really good memories.
at first I thought you're one of my friends from old s4 league days one of the best rushers from Korea was called Arcus. man i miss him. but happy I found you.
Never realized what I was doing back in the day, huh, speed runs. who knew. I was never this fast, but after I knew all the tricks I would go for speed.
You can make some speed swimming for change a bit in the level 8-2 with the boats, I always pass under them, after with the automatic scrolling you'll dont gonna make a faster clunk.
When fighting Boom Boom, after getting the third hit, if you time the jump right, it is possible to grab the ? ball in midair and shave a second or so off one’s time.
And to think no one was better than me at NES games, you my friend are extremely talented, I have watched many speedruns, but they have all been just showing the gameplay, so a bot could be doing them for all we know but you actually video yourself AND the game, very impressed, do you do just NES games? Have you considered doing other systems like Sega master system or SNES or genesis, I can tell we have the same old school taste in games, I hope you become a legend
In World 8's "Ship" level, you can go swimming under the boats without diying. Doesn't make you win time but no need to jump and dodge enemies. A friend of mines found that trick accidently.
Totally true, and how I play it all the time😄 But having to wait for the ship to be low enough to jump up, or just having to double back even a little to the pipe would add a bit of time to the run. Speedrunners will risk death if it means saving a tenth of a second. They're crazy, I tell you.

Mario 3 was my favorite game when I was a kid :) Still will always be one of the games closest to my heart.

Damn, deep khole to this dude. That's awesome

Back in 1990 I took a Polaroid of the ending to prove to some classmates that I passed it. Took me longer than 12 minutes though.
I hate to admit this lol but spent years playin the first Mario only find out yesterday watching Mike Matei beat it, that Princess Toadstool was actually Smaller than Mario :P. Meaning I never beat that game these guys are so insanely skilled at this shit.
I remember the taken pics to prove street cred
"Get gud"
Just beat World 8 for the first time thanks to this. Been playing it since I was a kid but could never beat the final few levels of world 8. Still have my original console and game! 🙂
feels good to go back and finally beat the game that seemed impossible as a kid. Done similar with a few other games!
For some reason this guy's voice is really relaxing sometimes I just play the CZcams video when I'm going to sleep and I fall asleep in 10 minutes
lol same
That’s so cool :)
ASMR
Arcus, you are a real hidden gem. The amount of talent you have to speedrun an insane amount of games is amazing and inspiring. Keep up the good work.
I really do enjoy your retro speedruns. Keep doing them
I didn't think anyone appreciated these games anymore.
It's great to see you making these. Takes me back to simpler times.
Alot of people appreciate these games.
The gameplay is anxiety provoking but your play-by-play is like ASMR. Amazing combo
The Bob Ross of video games... calm collected, soothing.
You bring my childhood when my uncle (who was like my father), brought me games and played together. I am already subscribed but I believe I couldn't pay you for these beloved memories.
I stumbled upon your channel with the burrito speedrun video but I've been watching all your SMM2 and super Mario bros 3 runs...this one was 🔥
I like your playstyle. Very calm and chilling
10:30, looks like Mario is pretty good at bouncing that basketball
Smb 3 still is one of my favorite games, great run Arcus! 😉
It's super entertaining to watch you play 😁👍🏼!
You should rename your channel to, "And clunk."
Why does he say that? I'm new to his channel.
Manuel Soto he just imitates the gaining something sound.
HahahahaAaaa!
The Batman run should be called "and punch, punch". 😆 🤣
@@manuelsoto9939 he presses on a foot pedal to start and stop his timmer, and it makes a clunk sound
You were always very good brother,but when you became a real legit cowboy speed runner you truly became great.
I like how you say “aaaaand.....clock”
This is insane dude 😲
indeed, a 42 y.o. dude speedruns insanely difficult games while staying calm all the way thru.
Oh wow! I remember the headaches this game caused me as a kid. Well done!
Not gona lie, I came here for the mustache.
Good

I've played this literally 1000s of times and I never knew the secret about going into the sand pit in world 8

Bro! Same here!
came for the cowboy hat, stayed for the clunks
Amazing gameplay. Excellent work 👍
Nice man just a new person watching it like the speed runs

Woah, great run Arcus! This was really fun to watch.
You man deserve a gold medal
Another amazing run!
Arcus reminds me of the cool old guy at the arcades.
Love your streams!! :))
Love your runs
Seriously fun to watch
I remember this game I haven’t played it in over 25 years
Congrats on the PB! Looking forward to the Batman grind
What's a pb

I always just swam underneith the ships.
Glade to see someone does 8-1 like I used to when I was a kid, never did beat that level the "correct" way
Still find the name “Arcus” to be horrific but your speedruns are the best
U sayin’ magic flutes and tanooki suits is like Robin Leach saying champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
And.........
Klunk
Nicholas Fanzo good bzzzzzzt
Your definitely an new legend
the speedrun cowboy. lustiger vogel. bin jetzt wohl schon beim sechsten video oder so.^^ greetings from germany, cowboy. ;)
omg so close to the end with Bowser haha you rock !!
Mario 3 is may favorite game of all time. Love it so much I beat it 6 times in 1 weekend... without whistles
I’ve always tried this as a kid. Didn’t know about the wall skip or that you could kill bowser with fireballs. Good job.
Same here. Since he is a dragon looking koopa that breaths fire, I assumed fireballs wouldn't work on him .
You button mashing son of a gun...ya did it again! Nice run
Anddd Squish...safe to say you have the best onomatopoeia in the speed running game
I will always love the name _SKY LAND._
Arcus i mean no offence at all, but you are the only texan accent person i can stand XDD love you and your stuff man
Thats a nice bolo tie
A saint and a scholar
O always liked playing this game out. Loved the tanooki suit and hammer bros suit and sitting in the shoe?
I never noticed how much the underground section in the thumbnail looks like Connecticut before
Am I the only one expecting an impersonation of Norm McDonald impersonating Burt Reynolds with that cowboy outfit?
I came to be appalled by the mustache. I stayed because.... I mean... Watch it
Whoa Arcus!!!!
Arcus my friend your are the best
Good run, gg
That was impressive!
Like the hat n the stash bro
And... Squishhhhh!
I've NEVER gone through those hands without being grabbed lol
RNGesus was on your side with those hands
6:42 Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade playing Super Mario Bros 3.
Its marios long lost brother. Klunkamia!!
Aaand...Klonk.
Nuff said 🤘
You could swim in the lava under the ship when I played it as a kid to beat the level
Never realized what I was doing back in the day, huh, speed runs. who knew.
I was never this fast, but after I knew all the tricks I would go for speed.
I love how some of these levels get cheesed. Never knew about the 8-2 secret.
The GOAT
That’s a good clunk.
Cowboy maluco parabéns gosto dos seu vídeos e da sua sonoplastia cerebral
Wp Arcus!
Dancing cats are the best
Amazing!

Arucus. Arrrcus. Ahcus. Arcus!
WHAT?!?! 😳 It is possible to beat Bowser with fire?!!! All these years and I never knew that. 😓
Have you seen what a Hammer Bros Suit does to him? Its tough getting there with one, but its satisfying.
You are the most simpática man on CZcams
Wow. Congrats
best cowboy ever
it isn't about speed, it's about having fun
Nice run! No hands that often is super lucky.
What does "No hands" mean?
6:09
This video made me realize how much speed runners must hate autoscroll levels
thats a spicy meatball
