Marble Madness NES speed run

[tiosopaman]

why not call this : "watch me rape your childhood in the ass"

[kevo8t6]

how did i forget about this gem of a game :)

[Skwisgaar415]

sooo cool



[FEM2010LikeaG6]

i haven't seen this game since elementary school. I'm 19 now.

[BleachCocktail]

I didn't know for 15 years after I played this game that holding A down makes the ball go fast.. FML

[ZombieConverse69]

memories .. me and my cousin used to play this all the time, i love you yesiiI!

[Terenigma]

2:05 is where i used to get to before i ran outta time. This game was really hard!

[zaanaz]

OMG. I could only pass the two first levels when I was a kid.

[CONKER17]

this game was sooo hard when i was young

[Wieprzow]

seems to be inconceivable hard but the music is awesome

[Yorda68]

@Wieprzow

no wonder!

Rare Ltd programmed the game and Sir David Wise(Donkeykong Country 1+2, Starfox Adventure ..)) converted the Arcadetunes to the NES!

[qloudz]

congratulations left player. you hear that? lefties fucking rule.

[luigocelo]

@qloudz they also die sooner than righties.

[luap123144]

this guys amazing!

[aezeon]

what makes this game so hard and imo a terrible shit game is that the screen doesnt move as fast as your marble and doesnt show you where you are going, youre always at the very bottom of the screen racing blindly into a pitfall, this game seriously needed to be reprogrammed

[FateMan22]

I loved this game when I was a kid :D Kick ass graphics. Kick ass music. YEAH.

[merinthos]

This game had a tragic effect on me as a 7-year old boy....the sound of marbles shattering in 8-bit and the creepy music made me afraid to play any video games without the sound muted for nearly 4 years.

[bensers]

this game's soundtrack is my life

[Redboykc420]

I smashed this game in 15sec. Oh you mean complete the game nope never could do that. You know whats a bitch. I spent about 9hrs beating friday the 13th then saw someone on youtube beat it in 3 min is that fukd or what?

[1RonBurgundy1]

I finally beat this game like 5 or 6 years ago but played it on and off for about 20 years. The last stage with the dissapearing floors was totally brutal.

[colirino]

Wow he makes it look extremely easy. This game is so frusterating to play!

[IPreferEvidence]

Why does this game have the same sound effects as snake rattle n roll and also very similar graphics and soundtrack?

[Fireleigh]

VERY HARD Game

[penumrocker25]

Watching this video it seems an easy game, but actually it's hard as hell

[saleporc123]

that game was on NES? the graphic are very impresive for the NES

[sk8r2000]

@saleporc123

Yeah for the NESS =p

[spindalis79]

They even had a commercial for this game in 89!' "Or will Marble Madness make you lose your marbles?!"

[youidiot89076]

0:34 when the music starts it brings back memories :D

[9879novo9879]

@youidiot89076 yeh i remember getting really pissed at this game

ah the good ol times

[ageofrockets011]

69

[arbucias93]

I love the Second and Final stage songs! :)

[atypicalmystery]

this guy made the game look easy. It's so hard to go that fast and stay on the right path.

[kucoru16]

this was definitely recorded on a VHS tape

[krassomatenkrass]

what a worst game

[sk8r2000]

@krassomatenkrass

what a worst grammar

[noelio67]

@sk8r2000 LOOL

[Redboykc420]

@sk8r2000 lol

[ferrellcm]

@sk8r2000 ever seen family guy where there are 2 guys that don't speak english very well. But they look like tanned surfer guys. "I had many drinks last night and I was soo hung out this morning." "Me too friend. I was blowin chinks like crazy." lol.

[TechnoDevotee]

love the second stage song :D

[heywowitsfelipe]

yo you ANNIHILATED the competition! Sick run!!

[YonkieXL]

Worales, que loco, siempre me ha costado ese juego

[WarlordHocaghe]

Heh , Hamster Ball is kind of a rip-off after this , even the level designs are kinda alike :\

[chinguidinsky]

Hahahahaha I am in aw. My cousin had this game when i was a kid and he would never let my other cousins and I play it. when I finally got it omg I never got passed level 3, i think i did once but with very little time left. I remember one time that fucking black marble would't let me pass and it would block me over and over and over againnnn! THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK BLACK MARBLE SHOULD BE ON SMASH BROS! WEEEEEEEEEE (so that's what level 4 and 5 look like... i always wondered)

[SolomontheCreatur]

This is the EXCACT smae thing on the better graphic version. (XD Better graphic version)

[FateMan22]

This game always gave me shivers >_<

[mmmmmarcus]

this was actually impressive for an NES game

[MichaelYoshiFan]

leuk maar zeer kort

[fudawg45]

Nice, my best remaining time was 20-something after the last race. You're way faster than me. Good stuff. :)

[dustyb58]

i never got past the first puzzle

[docshuck]

you mean to fucking tell me that this game can be beaten in under 4 minutes and i spent my whole childhood trying to beat it? FML.

[darthvaderfan50]

@docshuck yeah...right

[Dodgerfn5]

Unbelievable! That was a perfect game to play right there. Didn't die once. He must have memorized exactly where everything was. He didn't even get bumped off by a bird or anything. And did u see that score at the end? Wow!!!

[dtmtcm]

@Dodgerfn5 Not quite perfect. In level 4, he could have taken a faster route and he hesitated before the hammer things. Lost his acceleration in a couple of places in silly race.  A couple of hesitations in the final race. The best race I've had ended up with 80 seconds at the end. Still a ridiculously good game.

[rsviderpkk1ng]

w000t still not the only one with a super nintendo

[wazman]

stage 2 music = EPIC!!!

[cristixyz]

who ever is elliot is a master at this game :D

[komkommah]

This game was always so damn frustrating! But good

[leliorising]

god i loved this game when i was really young but i couldnt really do it. i played it with my bro i loved being the pink ball. lol. never saw the end! thats how rubbish i was. i was about 6 though

[brnocz33]

Marble Madness: Hi there, how do you get so much time, and is there an option to change the time like in Hamsterball?

[erpekito]

everything you know is wrong" ??? ??? ???

[404anonnotfound]

god this game was hard when i was like 6 lol

[johngeetar]

FAKE!!!!!!!!!!

[jadenwhite00]

ownage

[WArockets]

hey man do you have a ps3 with sk8r2000 as your psn?

[sk8r2000]

@WArockets

No, don't have a PS3

[wingnut4427]

I used to do a run like this >:D I only wish I would have recorded My gaming runs. I did a strider run on the genesis once flawlessly & had it on tape.. but it's LOOOONG gone now :(

[BlazGreen]

This is a short game but it is really frigging hard.

[bullyword]

it's like hamsterball game.levels are same

[lhart99]

I sucked at this game when I was a kid. lol

[geniusinmath]

Great job.

[tregamer95]

holey snapdizzelz yer gud

[dcprimus]

thats some marble madness

[dalek22]

Oh man! This game was so fun playing it on mame (emulator) :D

[seancfc001]

impressive

[azahnd82]

Elliot, you're a champion!

Thanks for posting, sk8r2000.

[jaymorpheus01]

hats off to Elli'o't

[kattybatty]

although i couldn't stop playing it i effing destested this game. it drove me insane!!

[Polaridad]

Oh memories... But this guy is good!

[uglyengineer]

Damn! Eliot has dda mad skilz.

[irishtrash15]

that looks hard to play with a d-pad

[TheBigmaxx]

i like this video! rate 5*

[squeeksgx]

never made it past the last level im afraid, this guy makes it look so easy :) ./jealous

[sk8r2000]

@Marshano1

And A Homophobic Retard Commenting On My Videos Get A Life

[Vegas702Boi]

Nice run but a tad slow

[tanookinuri]

I can make it up to the last stage but I can't beat that shit to save my life.

[xm3s0sleepyx]

I hated this game when i was a kid I couldn't get past level 3 -.-

[RawStylus909]

Holy Shit that guy made it look easy!

[OdesuneOSE]

This game and an NES d-pad to play it on will be in my room 101.

[sk8r2000]

@OdesuneOSE

Lolzers.

[GsKillz818]

Damn, what controller did you use?

[sk8r2000]

@GsKillz818

It says in the annotation throughout the video AND in the description that it WASN'T me, how painfully stupid can you get?

[GsKillz818]

What DO you know about this video?

[wads40]

This has helped me beat the game, I can only get 114,000 points, but it still feels good to beat something all your nerd friends cant :d

[Elliot137]

MY NAME IS ALSO ELLIOT!

[canecamillo]

il principio è quello del minigolf

[gonzodsoldier19]

hahah..good memories!!

[videofan080]

looks similar 2d effect as Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2

[sonamberlove1]

youre GOOD with balance i cant even get past BOSS in sonic 3d adventure

[QWERTYCommander]

I think the Genesis version is better. I have the ROM for both of them, and both of them are brutally hard & fun, but the Genesis version is better.

[tapper7724]

love the music i cant beat the  ultimate stage i love this game though

[radical494949]

This game looks so much like a very simple version of Hamsterball.

[Woodythehobo]

I watch this for the music, its awesome

[pezking124]

Wow.

[infectedpo]

This game is so much harder than it looks

[henkiis]

great stuff! I enver knew that was the last level.

[gargar209]

my girls brother just played this game for the first time today actually the first time seeing or playing it no joke he beat it after about fifteen tries then beat it again after two more tries ima put a vid up of him doing it soon, i finally beat it after like a month or two of trying,

[JASMENTIA]

I can do the levels perfect, but I can't do the last one where you gotta roll over the ramp to go in the hole. I can never get across in there.

[serialminded]

this is the only game I could not beat... they don't make them like they used to.

[000how]

the father of korinpa!

[xXxDarkDepressionxXx]

is this what "Marble Blast Ultra for the 360" is based on?

[tapper7724]

yes

[666matsu]

fuck!

[MajorLeaguerAnubius]

Holy crap. That's a good run! Tell the runner he did a fine job! (I did a pretty crappy one on ALL 4 completions! "Died" at LEAST 7 times EACH!)

[Lexy015]

your really good at this game

[jons44]

I don't know why, but I kinda liked the music in the NES version better than the arcade version. Something about the graininess that made it sound cooler.

[twebb72]

hated this game.

[Nintenfreak165]

loved this game

[deluxedookie]

they should do a wii-ware on this game.

[angriffsritter]

Pretty fucking cool, playing the original arcade version via Mamedox on my XBOX, but never came past the third level.T_T

[heretic71186]

fuckin amazing

[scubasteve0225]

im sure glad a never had to buy this game new for 50 fucking dollars.

[IAmAgainstFatPeople]

No kidding. Especially if you beat it in under 4 minutes. LOL.

[noelio67]

@scubasteve0225 I remember buying it for £10(irish pounds/punts) at the time which back then was about $16....same price as time lord and california games for the NES

[Vettle]

absolutely amazing

[GuiLingKwek]

godlike!

[FFFan3445]

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG

[NeuralNetProcessor]

all the music is good in this game

[Agentbromsnor]

Highly innovative game. I remember playing it for the first time on the NES and thinking "wow, this actually looks kinda 3-dimensional!".

[ProjectZro]

WAY too much time on your hands (i know you didnt do it) but nice none the less

[KineticsReborn]

i love the music for the first level.. i always have and i always will, 20 years later

[ClassicTVMan81]

Whoever composed the music for the original Atari arcade version of this game must've listened to The Who's "Baba O'Riley" at the time.

[bubbaXzone]

i remember this game :) i have it on my NES shelf >:D

[aels747]

u r a fucking freak

[Helmutlozzi]

Nice! :)

[legobricksmashblock]

man i couldnt do this for my life ur good

[BiGGuY32]

Man, this takes me back! I sucked so bad at this game. I only got to the fifth level, like, twice, lol.

[orangetide]

I've only gotten to the last level 3 times. But it was such a great game.

[wowbringer]

oh god id break something

[skafiend7]

This game would make me so angry!

[RayRay50418NO]

i had this game on gameboy color when i was little

[Skillusion]

Really awesome ;). I actually remember this game!

[TheGeek1028]

I'd probably break a couple NES controllers trying to play this.

[ten316]

congrats, a great run. this game gave me such headaches.

[GldRush98]

Hahaha, very nice. I spent many hours playing that game as a youth.

Good to know I only missed 2 levels. I could never make it past the backwards level where you start at the bottom and end at the top.

[japs209]

By the way, is this on the Virtual Console for the Wii? It definitely should be if it's not.

[japs209]

This music brings all the memories of frustration back to me. To this day, I still have not beaten this game. Those little green "sock" things used to scare the shit out of me when I was little. I don't know why, but they did. Ahh nostalgia...

[revd]

Is this tool assisted?

[knightryan22]

C-C-C-Combo breaker

[bg292]

DAMN THAT WAS THE SHIT

[aleciamusiclvr]

Sad, people thinking this is real.

Slowed down for play on an emulator and replayed at regular speed.

Simply impossible.

[NotanS]

This isn't a fucking TAS, it's a speedrun on the original system.

[knightryan22]

want to explain the time?

[halfasemitone]

This game is still the sickest.

[willmanhi1]

sweet i just bought this game for 2 pond if ebaY:D

[markj88888]

get it Elliot

[theelostriots9999]

this game was insane.

drove me mad when i was little.

[jrv2damac]

This game is infuriating.

[SimonSays311]

Everything you know is wrong!

[halfasemitone]

Black is white, up is down and short is long.

[PerfectGoalkeeper]

seems far easier than the Mame/Sega Genesis Versions.

out there, i never got further than the 3rd level.

[nolanb21]

I'm trying to beat this time. No luck yet lol.

[Ragman237]

Julie and Sweep always kicked my ass!!!

[ghost123797]

so your tess

[clayto1332]

Dude. That was totally sick

[ParadoxBoy33]

i have done this before... but its soo hard.. and i hafta be in supreme concentration mode.. but while the run was perfect and he didnt fall at all (which is utterly amazing in itself)it CAN be done faster. but, odds are if you try to go faster you will die a few times. that is the fastest ive ever seen it doen without dying. but as far as score goes, it still doesnt beat my all time score of 175,580.. still after all these years can't top that one.. its a lifetime acheivment..lol

[FailedStatus]

I remember seeing someone get a 190,000 once. It was utterly crazy.

[sonicyouth3]

i got this game today for free with my new nes

[KirkLX]

God i love and miss this game

[145neverlost145]

Marble Madness god!!!!

[Kwaj]

I always named my marble 'Edith' and gave her a sadistic personality. On 'Beginner Race' she always killed the black steelie, and on 'Crazy Race' she took great delight in mashing up the miniature baddies.

I still love this game over 20 years later.

[InvaderZim897]

The last level looks strangely familiar to me... though it's unlikely I ever made it much further than the "Everything you know is wrong" level.

[Captnuendo]

wow!

[Thepiratejoe]

the last level took me FOREVER to beat! Like 4 straight days of trying.

[metalslug94]

i could never beat the last level that was insane

[Rodrig0v]

actually someone andrw did 2:59

[RAVENATI0N]

This is the worst game ever !

I bought this crap when I was 11 years old in 1992! what a waste of money (my parents' money :-p )

[99cooperp]

Everything You Know Is Wrong

[Koibly]

that first level is so easy, i could do it that fast haha

[XmasterlinkxX]

wow it turns out i could never get past the last level interesting

[BigRedScouser]

One of the hardest games ever, still classic and addictive. Fun for a party of people too.
