Super Monkey Ball - Speedrun World Record History and Progression

Make sure to read the description before commenting. Here I've written a brief description of the video, outlined some minor mistakes and provided some links to clips used and other useful information: Firstly, here is the 2012 versus 2017 world record stage-by-stage comparison video I mentioned near the end of the video: https://youtu.be/Sw4e9kAlkOQ Watch my last Super Monkey Ball video: https://youtu.be/BVNd4C0zW3A 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Inspired by Summoning Salt and retro, I created this video detailing the speedrun history of Super Monkey Ball for the "Master, Normal" category, from 2011 - when the first Master speedrun to my knowledge was posted - to November 2017, when the current world record was set. I don't doubt there is likely to have been a Master speedrun before 2011, however myself and others conducted thorough research and found no evidence. The video is very thorough, and covers all the new strategies and major improvements which have been made over the years. Hope you enjoy. 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 09:06 - Here I stated Narcissa achieved her 18:10 personal best "later that year", - meaning later in 2012 - however her 18:10 was achieved in March 2013. 19:42 - Here I said the time over warp glitch used for "Any%" categories works on NTSC and PAL versions of Super Monkey Ball 1, 2 and Deluxe, however the glitch is not known to be present in Super Monkey Ball 2 PAL. 24:01 - I said the current record is still standing "over two years later", however it has only been just over one year since the record was set.

I chose to refer to them both by their current names, as I believe this to be the most respectful toward them. Despite this, some clips and screenshots included in the video still reference their former names or show them prior to their transitions. I decided to leave these as they were, as everything included was taken from public websites that appeared as they do in the video at the time of creation.
