I Attempted a Speedrun (and got a world record)

I think we all know the essence of what

speedrun

is, playing fast, but there's a lot more going on than what's on the surface. People spend hundreds of hours playing games to find optimal routes and discover the most precise faults that can save minutes. just a few frames that, if you don't know, are basically risking your entire career just for a few milliseconds of time. I have come to love fast racing. Seeing them, at least something about them is really cool for me and I think the community. It's really great, everything is great. I've been stalking and watching various sprinters for a decent amount of time and decided I wanted to do a sprint now.

I don't really have time to set aside hundreds of hours to hone my skill in any game I want, so I decided I had to do a blind sprint where I just play it for the first time and do the best I can. I spent a few days racking my brain over what game I'd like to run. I like Pokémon. maybe I could run a Pokémon game, uh, but that requires a lot of research and memorization, and luck, I could try a Mario game, it's a popular category, but I don't know if it's for me, so it seemed like the perfect game, for Of course, why?

I didn't think about it before, I ran to

speedrun

.com to check if anyone had run it yet. Nobody. None. I'm going to be the first person in the

world

to run quickly. Cooking mom 2 dinner with friends I know. Why did I do it? choose to cook mom because man cooking mom is amazing if you haven't played it is a ds game where you follow the steps to prepare food and impress mom the better you do the better score you will get and plus i have a advantage when it comes to preparing food, I have seen food fights, I know all the techniques and secrets, if you are under 18, don't look it up, why did I choose the second game and not the original, that's the one I bought, Sure, mom used to play cooking?

When I was a kid with my friend Kate, I always thought Mom's English was really the best. Still I love. We even had this system where if we kept failing at a recipe, we had to change chairs because that one was obviously unlucky. I don't have that luxury this time because I have to stay in front of the computer, so I'll have to come up with a better strategy. Additionally, additional movements waste time. I need to be efficient here anyway. I wanted to have some kind of challenge, so I decided to add some rules to my race one.

I have to completely complete the main game mode. Cooking with mom two. I have to receive a gold medal for every recipe, which means I can never make a mistake. I can't burn a single one. Onion can't accidentally pour rice into the sink. I can't hit my hand while crushing mochi. If I do, the entire recipe needs to be redone. Three, that's it, do it quickly. I guess the first recipe is pizza and I went for a nice one. Good start, it's obviously a fast race so I didn't have time to read the little description about what to do at each step, but for the most part I was able to use my huge IQ and big strong brain to decode the targets in fractions of a second , except for the last step where I didn't know how to work the oven and failed again immediately I was off to a great start after figuring out how the oven worked I was fast forward peanut butter poke the peanuts ready oops recover adapt overcome done sea bream carpaccio exfoliate the fish cutting reset choose a smaller knife easy corn soup easy ew balled the boiled corn strain oh come on not all the corn turned out well the truth is I was making a lot of mistakes at the beginning I was nervous because it was my first speed run and I didn't know what I had to do most of the time and generally panicked, but then I remembered that there are no Cooking Mama 2 speed runs yet, which means I'm at

world

record

pace and That made me feel better about a mechanic I had.

To learn the hard way, when it comes to the oven, I chose low heat on the first try, decided to use medium heat to go a little faster and look at this, oh no, what was that? That was a fast race in itself. apple pie as fast as possible you know there are separate categories and speed races mario odyssey has one where you take off mario's shirt as fast as possible called nipple percentage i want one for cookie breast 2 called apple pie percentage burnt apple where you just burn the apple pie as quickly as possible anyway, I redid the pie and it's moving badly, in the rice bowl, we're already about an hour in at this point.

I called my friends on a discord call so they could help me take notes, so I didn't. I had to re-watch all the footage for the script and they decided to look up how many recipes were actually in the game. I didn't know because I wanted to go in completely blind and you know what they discovered, there's a total. out of 80 recipes in this game in one hour I was on recipe eight, which would be impressive in real life, but not here, so either we were going to spend the night cooking for mom or I had to start collecting the pasta, sorry , shrimp, this is going to make me violent, I wasn't perfect and I was still making some mistakes, but I started to get in the zone.

It helped that I was starting to get familiar with the mechanics and really knew what the game wanted me to do for most of the steps. Now it doesn't work. Lobster with meatloaf and chili dog. I was unique in all. I even put two mommy flags on the lobster, which was a little risky, but you know me. I live for danger. I almost forgot to put the lobster. Let me pause and tell you. you, a story from my childhood. I already mentioned my love of cooking to Mom when I was a child, even 12 years ago. I set a goal of getting gold in all the recipes, but one haunting memory I have from this game was my fight against Mom's rice cracker.

All the steps are relatively simple, but in the end you have to stamp all 18 cookies with a mom stamp, that's what makes mom's rice cracker, mom's rice cracker, but when I was a kid my DS was old and I dropped it several times, which ruined it. calibration on my screen in a way that I couldn't fix, that meant that at the end of the recipe it was extremely difficult for me to get the stamp in the exact place mom wanted. I spent weeks, I'm not kidding, trying to do it. getting the gold on mom's rice cracker was the last one I needed and I couldn't do it I just couldn't I'm pretty sure I finally passed but let's just say I didn't do it for the sake of drama either way I was having PTSD I was following all the steps washing the rice putting the rice in the little mochi hole hitting the rice spoon and then the screen appeared that caused the most pain a video game could cause a 10 year old.

I was slowly moving down the line, everything was going well, and suddenly, on the tenth cookie, I accidentally touched the screen when I was lining up my pen, which caused me to not mark the cookie enough. I am not someone who believes in spiritualism. or the signs of the zodiac or the child of destiny, whatever it may be, but that particular moment made me wonder if it was all real and my only destiny is to eternally fail at the last step of the rice crackers recipe for mom until inevitably die into an incomplete old man who makes ugly rice cakes.

I got it right next time but I would have been unlucky as I conquered mom's rice cracker, now nothing was in my way and I was making the rest of the recipes at the 2 hour 37 minute mark 27. recipes in uh ari came out of her cage and was running around the room so I had to spend precious time getting myself under control, that was a waste of two minutes right there, then I missed cutting the ravioli so I blame all that . Unfortunately for Ari, I actually struggled a lot with the ravioli recipe, the pasta is very difficult to cut because you have to time the piecing with the line, but because I was so focused on when to cut most of the time, I deviated from the recipe real. line to cut and mess up then when I was able to get past that stage, for some reason the microphone had trouble hearing me blow, so even though it was doing what it was supposed to do, it would fail anyway, no you hear it in general.

I had to redo the ravioli recipe six times and I spent 11 minutes on it, not great thanks sorry, but after that I was able to make both the cake and the spring rolls once. Can we talk about how the ice cream recipe literally does the same thing? you take out store bought ice cream and put sprinkles on it, that has been my favorite recipe so far, moving forward a little, let's talk about mango pudding, these were the ravioli, part two, the first step I had trouble with was memorizing the order of the ingredients. It was a six-part memory game, Simon says, and my big, soft brain can only handle one number at a time before the concept of object permanence leaves my body.

Inevitably I got a lucky pattern that was easy to remember and after a few more steps in the end I had to draw a line at a specific speed that would remove the pudding cleanly, too slow and it wouldn't come out too fast and for the life of me it wouldn't. I was able to get the rhythm right three consecutive times in a row. and with the combined difficulty of that along with memorization, I spent another 10 minutes trying to get it right and still failed, my confidence was shattered and I had to take a mental health break.

I'll be back for you, mango pudding. I will go. Come back stronger and I will cook you very well. I will become the mother. I was a mess from the pudding, but I was able to keep going and started to get back into my rhythm. I was eliminating all these foods one by one. I had trouble with the popcorn because I thought there would be some kind of indicator or something about when to open the lid, so I just sat there until I realized I had burned it all, oh wait, so I thought, oh okay, I'll open it when I heard the popping sounds and then I opened it with like five popcorn, but it's okay, I was able to figure it out for the most part, the rest of the run went without any major problems, I was able to finish the rest of the recipes and at the end mark six hours and 38 minutes I only had two recipes left in the bento box and of course the mango pudding time is ticking, we are in the endgame now also my Discord friends were ready to never again talk to me never again, I thought I could get the The bento box runs out quickly because it's like you put food in the box, well, I didn't actually realize that it had to include food from all the categories that mom gave me or something like that, so I failed three times and was on the verge of madness. trying to figure out what mom wanted from me the food is in the box mom what the fuck what is what is what a bunto boxes of food and box what else do you need blood a blood sacrifice it didn't say anywhere in the instructions that I should have done it I put more variety there, not that I was reading the instructions anyway, I still don't know what mom wanted, but at least I finally got gold after four minutes, that meant I only had one last recipe. 79 were completed, the mango pudding. the only thing standing between me and the first world

record

of cooking mom 2 i had dinner with friends i nervously clicked it but i climbed my mountain i trained with mom and came back a new chef peeling slicing mixing i was faster than ever i was memorizing i was doing well until not, I restarted I was sweating and shaking my brain was closing my eyes I had just been watching mom cooking for the last 6 hours and 45 minutes every breath was cooking mom every neuron in my skull was cooking mom every atom in the universe at that moment Mom was cooking, but my next attempt, oh my god, oh Jesus, is this one where I nervously went through the rest of the recipe until I got to the last step.

It's been about 3 hours and 15 minutes since I practiced eliminating. the pudding from the mold and to be honest I don't remember the extraction strategies first, second, come on, I got all the puddings out without problems, I waited until the results confirmed it, boom, one hundred points on the mango pudding, I stopped the stopwatch . I finally did it, all 80 Cooking Mama 2 Gold recipes in 6 hours, 47 minutes and 27 seconds. There may be room for improvement. Overall, I had a great time with the fast run. It's not even close to a good career. the time can easily be cut in half, but I still take pride in knowing that I was the first to complete and document Cooking Mama 2, all the gold percentage and also the burnt apple pie percentage, if there are any speedrunners out there want to try to take my crown, huh.

I will share some speed strategies that I thought of during the race, if you complete the steps too fast you will get a bonus and at the end of the recipe if you get five bonuses you will receive a gift that you cannot refuse or skip, which will lose you a lot of times. you're suffocating me mom, so yeahYou can't get bonuses throughout the game, you would be saving a lot of time. Another tip is that if you are going to mess up the recipe, don't mess up the last step. because if you do, you have to wait until mom gives you your score and applauds you and says yes, it's almost perfect and all the time you say yes mom, I know it's not perfect, I dropped an egg and then she tells you three gifts in a row because you got too many bonuses and you're just yelling at him to shut up the whole time.

I didn't discover any bugs that would save time, unfortunately, I don't know what a mom cooking bug would be like. I like it, but it doesn't sound nice, but it doesn't matter because as of this moment, here I am the one who holds the world record for dinner with friends from Cooking Mama 2. I guess I finally did something with my life after all, of all Anyways, thanks for watching. My first attempt at a fast race. I think in retrospect I should have picked a game that could have been made in a few hours less because I feel like I've aged 20 years after this, but you live and you learn.

I wanted to send my career into a sprint. .com, but since no one has run the game yet, I need to submit a request to add Cookie Mama to dinner with friends, but I only made my account last night and to make a request I need to have had my account for seven days, so Lo I will send in seven days, but it will not be interesting. I didn't record my audio with it, it's just six hours of cooking, mom. Gameplay We're also working on launching some new products in the store very soon. I don't know if it's on the site yet, but it's coming and we have some really fun things in the works.

Well, that's it, see you later.
