Runs I enjoyed:
- American Idol
- Grandma, No!
- Balatro
- Super Mario 64
Not as much stuff as I’d usually enjoy. I still need to watch a couple of runs but my biggest disappointment was the Super Mario Maker 2 troll “race”. Felt more like a Let’s Play. Normally Mario Maker is the highlight of the marathon for my wife and me, so perhaps our expectations were too high.

Was also mildly disappointed by the SMM2 run, but I dunno that it was an “expectations” thing. Didn’t feel like a “race” when the two runners had to co-op through the levels, you know?
Still fun to see ‘em laugh, though.

I kinda disagree as it wasn’t a race. What made it interesting was that it was the coop troll levels. We don’t get too many of those. At someone whose watched uncountable hours of that nonsense it was super fun to see something a bit different.

They listed it in the race category and declared a winner at the end too, which muddied the waters a bit more than I’d like.
Still, glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, I didn’t catch that. Yeah it probably should have been categorized differently. Still was a lot of fun though.
