New Summoning Salt speedrun history video! It’s the story of a really dominant runner in the Mario Kart 64 community and the new game-breaking tricks that threatened to change up the scene. It’s a long video, but Summoning Salt is always worth it.

    He tends to have a fairly relaxed pace, which is helpful when he covers a game or run you know nothing about. But this one does feel slower than his usual. I think it may be that there just isn’t that much back-and-forth in this story. Also, he seems to be experimenting with longer videos now that he’s gone full-time on YouTube.

    He did a video like this one with much better pacing in The Quest To Beat Matt Turk. And he’s got some pretty good sub-30 videos as well, like 4-2: The History of Super Mario Bros Most Infinite Level. Those might be more to your liking if you’re interested in speedrun history that goes a bit quicker (ha!).

      Heh, well thank you for the info! Sounds like that YouTube push for more ads in longer videos seems to have made things generally worse as usual.
