I didn’t expect this to be my favorite AGDQ 2015 speedrun

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels of all things

First, a quick thank you to Destructoid reader lunarwhale for bringing this Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels speedrun to my attention. I naively thought I’d watch a minute or two, tops, right before going to bed, but ended up sticking through to the trippy Fantasy World finale. No regrets.

While this isn’t the most impressive speedrun to come out of Awesome Games Done Quick 2015, it has something better: heart. I grinned every time GameJ06 commanded Bowser to “jump!”
