Not because the run is extraordinarily phenominal but the commentary he provides really provides a lot of insight as to how much this game has changed over the years.

It's amazing how he's telling this very involved story and all the while pulling off these crazy glitches like it's nothing

Yeah, that's Cosmo. He's a really good commentator with speedrunning in general. He can explain a trick, and mess on it, but still maintain his explanation without getting too angry.

I think in a previous marathon, someone ran Metroid Fusion and the commentary was amazing. He explained EVERYTHING that he was doing. It was the most entertaining run in that marathon. Shame I don't know the person's name or what marathon it was in.

WHAT THE FUCK that warp trick, holy shit

I would love to see how they figured that one out

nvm he explained it, jesus. That is the coolest glitch I think I've ever seen. Lots of logic underneath that one.

Cosmo is without a doubt my favorite person to watch. You should check out his Wind Waker runs if you have like 4+ hours to spare. Or watch his live run during the marathon Saturday.

If you like that trick, look up the TAS SMW any% run. They manipulate game code pretty hard.

Got it for ya:
