this iceberg has a lot of good things and has also reminded me to work more on yoshi's cookie, so that i too may join the iceberg of gamesoft entertainment

the Triforce% ACE showcase feels like the pinnacle of the craft, both on a technical level in regards to how it loads data through controller ports while still accepting live input, and on a personal level, where what it did with that power is transformative art with an in-my-opinion-rather-powerful message. i don't know if it's obscure enough for the iceberg though

BTW I disagree with the cosmic ray thing, which is still a fairly common /r/speedrun meme, being at the bottom. The bottom needs to be something way worse, like the Meal Ticket → Toadstool strat in SotN which saves 2 minutes but requires RNG so astronomical that no runner has ever gotten it ever.

this is the first time i've seen an iceberg post where i actually know most of it! 😄 There's only a few i wasn't aware of, at the very bottom.

i know there's super obscure stuff that i'd be able to add if i could remember it, but the best one i can think of right now is the 337-hour Baten Kaitos 100% speedrun, probably about halfway down the iceberg. There's an item that requires a certain amount of playtime to obtain, and there's enough time to do everything else while getting a healthy amount of sleep/breaks for a few weeks. Time spent in the menu doesn't increment the playtime, so there's a lot of extremely skilled menuing they need to do!

according to speedrun.com, 6 people have completed it, including the founder of the run Baffan, who has done it 8 times total.
