Episode notes

The speaker announces retiring from podcasting to focus on helping Samus get the Morph Ball quickly, aiming for an S-rank and competing with a Russian speedrunner called Putin Jr. Their skill in collecting coins in Super Mario 1-1 is mentioned, contrasting it with the art of efficient speedrunning.

This week, Nintendo challenges the Besties to become elite speedrunners. Can they beat Mario in minutes? Will they transform into a morph ball in mere seconds? Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition helps the crew test the limits of their skills. Plus, Dungeons of Hinterberg blends Persona hangout session with Zelda’s dungeon-crawling combat.

NOTE: This episode of the Besties was recorded before the announcement of the SAG-AFTRA strike against major video game publishers.
