did anyone watch the finale? was too late for me but the Super Mario Odyssey and start of Super Metroid were superb
final total was $2,396,327.50 which is a record i believe?
I stayed up for Metroid and the finale.
Mario Odyssey was damn good, especially as they got closer to the 2m mark. If anything the Metroid run was a little bit disappointing after the energy level from the end of Mario, even if it did get better towards the end, and I say that as someone who's favourite game ever is Super Metroid.
Metroid suffered from being a very difficult, technically demanding run. It was also the runners first GDQ, so for him to not only be playing Super Metroid alone, but to be closing the marathon with it was some crazy pressure. The fact
he died twice and had to resort to safety saves took some of the fun out of it..
I can understand why they went for Reverse Boss Order as they didn't have Super Metroid to finish the marathon at the last one or two GDQs and RBO has only been done once or twice before, but a 4-way Any% or All Bosses race would have helped carry the momentum after Mario, especially since there were another few high profile SM runners on the couch.
But it was still a damn good ending.
