hey friends!

so i did a speedrun of mining out the entirety of mars in the flash game motherload... finally completing my childhood dreams lol. Seriously, it came out in 2004. I wasn't even 10 years old yet o.O

basic rules of the challenge: remove every single block on the entire map that can be removed. then beat mr natas. in the video i just end time, but from what i see on speedrun.com, you're supposed to end time when the end game screen fully appears, so I retimed the time to whats in the title.

there is no category for this on speedrun.com/motherload, so im going to call it "void percent" and i think there are a lot faster ways of doing it, now that i know how many of each resource it takes (i open my inventory towards the end of the run after i finish mining out the entire planet) so i won't have to save up nearly as much money.

does it count as a world record speedrun if you made up the category? ;) i dont think so hahaha

anyways, below are some timestamps for relevant things! if you do want to watch it all the way through, maybe put the speed on 2x? its so much lol. but please let me know if you want me to optimize this run - if i get to 10 likes ill go for sub 2 hours... i dont think that should be too too hard.

have a great week :) so happy i finished this hehehe 💜
