Let's Speedrun Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (All Events/Very Hard)

Our boy bowser was killing it on the gymnastics

22:36 check out metal Sonic doing butterfly. A few interesting things about this: First, it is legal to do other strokes during an individual freestyle event. Second, butterfly is theoretically faster than freestyle at a robotic level. The problem with humans is stamina, strength, buoyancy, and the necessity of oxygen

Just to set the record straight, EazySpeezy: Each time you're saying "splitscreen" during Marathon, the term you're looking for is slipstream. When you're moving right behind someone (or something) else, they have to push themselves through air that's rushing around them, and that pushed air will go right by you, so you don't have to expend as much energy. You know that mechanic in Mario Kart where if you hang out behind someone long enough you get a boost of speed? That's exactly the same thing. It's more commonly known as "drafting." You see it all the time in running races as well as automobile races, though with less exaggerated results than in video games.

“He’s good at stealing balls” This is why Silver’s timeline is fucked

"Doctor Eggman is really good at badminton" god what a sentence

"Of course we're gonna choose Sonic, because who else are you gonna choose for a race?" funnily enough, me and my sisters swear that Dr Eggman is the fastest character (at least in the 2008 wii game) to the point where we made a whole song about how fast he runs. it's called "Eggman is Running" and its a musical masterpiece

Devs: so if you run behind the AI, you'll get a slip stream EazySpeezy: yah so I'm Just gonna run behind these guys to get the split screen.

Peach’s Super during the equestrian event is actually “Equestrian Vaulting” which is basically gymnastics on horseback. A real thing I have seen real humans do. Utterly baffling to me still

Who doesn't love just seeing this man speedrun every game

"Silver, since he is good at stealing balls" Eazy 2022

I like how much of a refined taste Bowser has in Olympic events, doing Gymnastics and Fencing is very befitting for the king of the Koopas

Bowser doing gymnastics is the greatest thing I've witnessed in ages

I like the char variety per event, it's not just a single char who's obviously superior at all events! Also that Waluigi replay was so sad lol

This is the game I've put the most speedrun hours into. Last check I was 7th in archery overall. I just couldn't bring myself to try to tie the top. 35 hours of archery was enough 😆

Eggman being very good at boxing is kind of hilarious and terrifying at the same time

I love the fact that the absolute nerd Miles “Tails” Prower is a beast in martial arts sports

the fact that you use so many different characters in the game goes to show how well balanced the devs made them

There should be a speedrun of this game where you try to finish all the mini games in hard mode with the worst characters for each one as fast as you can

15:25 seeing Metal Sonic run like that, I can imagine him laughing “Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.”😂

Eggman: My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist, and soon to be the world's greatest ruler. Now witness the beginning of the greatest empire of all time- Vector: So anyway, I started boxing Only people of culture remember the ORIGINAL Dream Race from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Beijing 2008 where it was exactly as it sounds like, a four-lap race around a track with Item Boxes and Dash Panels. Bowser doing gymnastics is…something. Maybe that helps to explain how he’s so mobile in Smash.
