This appears to be an 100% run as he clears ALL of the mini-games (didn't read the player's comments until now; I agree this is an 100 run).
IDK why but I didn't know you could swing on the vine in Piranha's Pursuit (probably never noticed it before).
LOL at his comment on beating the 2P Handcar Havoc time.
Bowl Over - YOU CALL THAT A STRIKE?! Just kidding but lol at knocking all 3 of them out.
Accept - Fun with Mario and Co. (albeit mostly with Luigi here)

Video and audio quality are fine
There are no signs of cheating
The run is very good, and all segments are great. I don't think there's much else to say...
I wouldn't fancy my chances at a game against him

Quality (Capture)
Excellent.
Quality (Gameplay)
Segment 1
- Chooses Luigi as his main character, who is clearly the best choice.
- For Coin Block Blitz, the opponents group themselves at the bottom, allowing him to get the blocks with more coins and not having to fight anyone off.
- Coin Block Bash goes great, save for one missed hammer swing.
- Coin Flower Shower has one missed coin too, but the rest fall into place for him.
- You know, it’s Paddle Battle that caused me to completely fuck the palm of my hand up as a kid. Who knew the key was slow and steady rotations instead of rolling it like a madman until the skin ripped off?
Segment 2
- It must have been tough to have Memory Match turn out like that, but it’s obviously worth it.
- Ground Pound (this mini-game involves getting a foot wide spike up the ass if you get the wrong one and that’s the best name they could think of for it?) gives him a nice set of posts too.
- For Shy Guy Says, I think it’s possible to get the others killed off a bit faster, but that’s a luck thing.
Segment 3
- Bumper Balls looked really good.
- I forgot just how retarded the AI in this game can be when it wants to. Treasure Divers gives a good example of the others just swimming around and even on the ground when all they need to do is return to the surface. It almost costs the runner the segment, because DK has the last treasure chest and can’t figure out what to do with it. Fortunately, he makes it up to the surface eventually.
- Deep Sea Divers is another one of those treasure chest hunting missions that DK actually does better in, which is good for the runner.
- Hell yeah, Mushroom Mix-Up! The runner cock-blocks Peach right away. Wario gets the same treatment later, and Yoshi loses a cockfight. I wonder of the other could have been done away with faster though.
- Fun fact: It was completely impossible to knock someone off the rope in Tightrope Treachery. The runner still gets hit three times though.
Segment 4
- Doing Desert Dash is nowhere near as easy with two people. It’s nice to only have to do it with one input and have the computer partner automatically step along. Nothing major to say about this segment obviously.
Segment 5
- The runner didn’t break his records for Bobsled Run or Handcar Havoc: run rejected.
- Nah, I’m just screwing around. Ghost Guess was a pretty good part.
Segment 6
- Bombsketball is completed lightning quick.
Segment 7
- Slot Machine is manipulated perfectly.
- Bowl Over sees all three of them knocked down with one shell.
- Mario Party had the Guitar Hero concept first with Mario Bandstand! Lawsuits need to be launched!
Segment 8
- I wonder how many times his partners blew Running of the Bulb on him?
- A lot of bag grabbing goes on between Wario and Luigi. DK humorously chases Yoshi around in a circle for about 30 seconds straight.
- Nintendo’s secret inflation fetish comes into the light with Balloon Burst. I didn’t notice it as a kid, but I sure as hell do now. Anyway, the runner pumps up Bowser quite a bit faster than I though possible.
- Judging by the runner’s score for Face-Lift, I think he’s done this a few times before.
Segment 9
- Since he only needs a few coins to complete Hammer Drop, he suicides after getting the first coin bag (on the first drop too).
- Not much else to say, except that I find it really funny that Toad challenges Luigi to a race at the ned and gets his ass handed to him… by the computer players.
Timing
The timesheet should be in your mailbox in a minute or two.
Importance
I believe there are some spots that can be improved upon, but it’s mostly by luck factors that I’m looking at. In a game with three other computer characters that behave so weirdly, what we see here might be good enough. Otherwise, this is surprisingly optimized and I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t be accepted.
Excellent.
