SMG2 any% run for Trashathon 2017
2According to the original highlight date, this was done sometime around November of 2017 (I'd try to determine the exact date, but I'm too lazy). I did four runs for this marathon, and while the other three were archived on the marathon's YouTube channel, for some reason this one never was.
Setting aside the failed run for Harvey Relief Done Quick, and my run in the 246 relay race hosted by JJsrl, this would've been my first real marathon run of SMG2 any% that actually finished. My PB at the time was 3:07:24, and this run got a 3:10:17, which back then was okay but not anything special. I also did The Perfect Run afterwards as a donation incentive, and got that first try.
The low bitrate was on my end. My internet back then wasn't always great, and I got super annoyed whenever there were frame drops in my runs, so I'd often stream in super low quality to reduce the likelihood of interruptions of that nature in my runs. The run should still be perfectly watchable, but it might look disgusting at times.
Just for completion's sake, here are the VODs for the other three runs I did for this marathon:
SM64 70 star - • Trashathon 2017- Super Mario 64- 70 S...
MK64 150cc Skips - • Trashathon 2017- Mario Kart 64 in 30:...
PnRR Any% - • Trashathon 2017- Pac N Roll Remix Any...
These were originally streamed by @strawberryspeedruns8413 here: https://www.twitch.tv/strawberrylaylee/videos . They did host another Trashathon marathon the following year that I did runs for, but unfortunately those vods were never highlighted, and thus have been lost to time. I don't believe they've done another Trashathon event since then.
I'm uploading this purely for archival purposes, since it appears the original host isn't as active online anymore (though, according to their Twitch page, they were live as recent as a couple of weeks ago), and I wanted to make sure this VOD was saved before Twitch's new highlight policy kicks in later this month.
