Jonah Berger's magic words refers to a concept introduced by the social scientist Jonah Berger in his book "Contagious: How to Build Word of Mouth in the Digital Age". Berger argues that certain words or phrases have the power to make content more shareable and increase its likelihood of going viral. According to Berger, there are six key qualities that make a word or phrase "magical" and increase its viral potential. These qualities are: social currency, triggers, emotion, public, practical value, and stories. Social currency refers to the idea that people like to share things that make them look good to others. By using words that convey exclusivity or insider knowledge, content creators can tap into this desire and increase its shareability.

First of all, I would like to thank Zurreco for all of the great tips he has given me. Also, if not for his and Nitsuja's TAS runs, I would never have achieved the time I did. I would especially like to thank my best friend Matthew for his help in finding strategies in a couple of areas, to make them substantially faster.
Special thanks also go out to the SDA staff for having such a great site. Also, thank you Tompa, DK64_MASTER, and Blueglass for your support in my endeavor.
Though this game may be unknown to many, I know a lot of you remember how great this game was when you played it like I did in your youth. This game is always full of surprises, and I have enjoyed this game ever since it came out when I was much younger. It may look like an innocent, simple game at first, but a lot of shortcuts and strategies take skill, good reflexes, and sometimes luck to pull off. My run is nowhere near perfection but the TAS time by Nitsuja is 16:20, with many times that are unmatchable by human standards. I was able to match a few of the times, and even able to beat one of them, but came short a couple of seconds on others. Also, this run is done without obtaining heart containers in the game that increase your heart capacity by one. So I have two hearts throughout the entire run.

1-1: I matched the TAS time here, so no improvement necessary.
This mini-boss is probably the most random in the entire game, and the most frustrating. I am not sure if there is any way to make this battle any faster than this either. Using a new strategy I recently found, this is a two second improvement from my previous attempts.
-
2-1: The strategy the TAS uses is beyond human skill, but thanks to another new shortcut by my friend Matthew, I was able to get within one second of the TAS time on this run (I have even matched the TAS time before with better timing off of the moon-shaped enemy, too, but rarely).
-
3-1: First part was me just having a little fun since it is a down scrolling part of the level and gets boring after doing it over and over. I hate this mini-boss to no end, and not getting hurt during this was a blessing. My time is also one second less than the TAS time, but it is possible to achieve it.
-
4-1: Great time, though with some more luck, 1 second more could be saved.
-
5-1 and 5-2: No improvements here as both times are at the TAS times.
-
6-1: Good time in my opinion, but maybe could be improved by a second with better timing at the beginning.
I hope all of you that watch this that remember this game from your childhood remember all the magic that it holds, and how near and dear it will always be to you. I also hope you all enjoy this run and thanks for watching.

1. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Jonah Bergr Magic Words". The book seemed promising based on the description, but the execution fell flat for me. The writing was dull and lacked creativity, making it difficult to stay engaged with the story. Additionally, the characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, which made it difficult to connect with them. Overall, I would not recommend this book to others.
2. David - 1/5 stars - "Jonah Bergr Magic Words" was a complete waste of my time. The plot was confusing and disjointed, making it hard to follow and understand what was going on. The author threw in so many unnecessary subplots and side characters that it became overwhelming and distracting. The writing style was also very amateurish, with numerous grammatical errors and poor sentence structure. I tried to give this book a chance, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me.
3. Sarah - 2.5/5 stars - I found "Jonah Bergr Magic Words" to be average at best. While the concept was interesting, the execution lacked depth and originality. The plot was predictable and formulaic, following the typical hero's journey cliches without offering any unique twists. The prose was also quite simplistic, lacking the descriptive language that would have brought the magical world to life. Overall, it was a decent read, but nothing memorable or outstanding.
