Super Monkey Ball's Biggest Milestone has been Achieved (G117)

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:

Just of a year after releasing my world record progression video, I'm back to report on the insane new records set by callumbal since then. A combination of fixing upon the minor mistakes in his previous world record, as well as a number of new strategies which make use of the controversial technique "pause buffering", led callum to not only improve his almost 2 year old world record, but also break the biggest barrier in Super Monkey Ball speedrunning.

𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

As far as I know, there are no mistakes in the video. If you notice any, please inform me and I will update the description accordingly.
