Ancient Lake has a lot of history, it's the track that Daniel Viebrock (Burning Death) discovered that barrel rolling in the plane was broken, which 0xwas used to revolutionize the vehicle after Stefan Mahrla set a few quick records with the tech.

If you'd like a similar story, about two years ago, I figured I'd grab an easy world record, so I went into the Game and Watch Gallery 2 speedrun leaderboard and uploaded a time for the first category, 100 Points / Easy / Modern. Five super simple games, no mechanics explanation, just you and the RNG. Because the WR was so easy to grab, I stated so in my video descriptions. Always had input display available, since I didn't own the cartridges and was just emulating them. However, whenever I uploaded a world record, before it would get published on the leaderboard, it would get beaten by one of the moderators. I didn't let that slide until three records in, when it didn't happen.

Diddy Kong Racing was the first game on the N64 that lots of us as kids felt like it was "our game" it gave a strange positive feeling and looking back at it now is brings back so much nostalgia. I love that this has highlighted the community for another amazing N64 game. I look forward to seeing what other games come to light from the N64 and seeing what communities benefit from these amazing videos. Keep up the good work and let's see some neesh N64 games like South Park 64 or Mission Impossible 64 speed runs. But only if you find time to explore those titles.

I think my biggest roller coaster in gaming would be with Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy for PSP. So, my friend group in high school didn't like Final Fantasy, and they'd often make fun of my for playing it. Mostly just to be trolls. They were gamers and weebs themselves, we just had different tastes. They liked Naruto and Oblivion, I liked Gundam and Final Fantasy. Anyways, one of my friends in the group decided to pick up the game as a curiosity, got great with Jecht, one of the characters that always gave me trouble to fight AND play as, and proceeded to wipe the floor with me for the next few weeks. I got super mad at this. He wasn't spiteful about it or anything, but I was over here with a 300+ hour save file, all characters maxxed, etc. He picks up the game and instantly can beat me, when he didn't even LIKE Final Fantasy. So, I spent about a week fighting nothing but CPU Jecht on the hardest difficulty, learning all his possible ins and outs of how to fight him. Returned for a grudge match, best 2 out of 3, and won. Pretty silly in hindsight. I was such an edgelord back in highschool.

Biggest Rollercoaster in speed gaming for me: I was into the Achievement Hunters group in Diablo 3 in Season 1. There were special achievements called Conquests specific to the season. One was "Sprinter" which means you complete the Story Mode Acts 1 through 5 in under 1 hour. I had been in groups working towards it for a while, had been in a few different groups. We were like 6 hours into this session and we loaded up for one last attempt for the night. The group had OK ish pace through Acts 1 and 2. Act 3 was a little weak but we could still make. Act 4 was ok again. I was the one keeping time and didn't think we'd be able to do but had screwed up the Math in my head (Math teacher btw). And It was looking like we were just gonna be short. However the group super clutched it. We all split in the second to last area and I was able to get to the end by knowing the tileset. Our group leader super clutched the final two paths picking the right ones. At the end I was told how it was triggered And it looked like we were going to be less than 10 seconds too slow after killing the final boss; thus we were Devastated. But the trigger was something else, and we actually completed in 59:59 (getting the time needed for the Conquest by 1 sec!). That moment of thinking you were just a few seconds too slow on a 1 hour run to making it by 1 second was too amazing. I hope every experiences that video of this is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7mGh694tpe9p2Q.html ; gonna have to rewatch it now.

My roller coaster moment: Game: Glover 64 I got an untied world record for the Atlantis Bonus level with such minimal effort that I became known as the Real Glover Legend in the speedrunning discord (which you should join btw Glover is awesome). I think I held the untied for a day or two before fellow runner heeheex2 tied my run. Not many days after, another runner, Ac_143, came out of a bout of silence to immediately beat the record, thus putting me in second place. I like to tease that I’m still upset but honestly it’s just so cool being a part of a game’s speedrun history, especially one I’ve loved so much since I was a child :)
