Runner introduction starts at 00:06 Run starts at 00:42. Couch commentary is provided by DemonSmallz, Mrzerathemant, Greenmixtape and Count Gooby. The_Kov is host.

Wait.... Is the title a pun? Diddy's Kong Quest.. Diddy's Conquest... Did I not notice this for like 20 years?!

It still amazes me, how much DKC2 improved on DKC1, it's pretty much a perfect game.

-Looks at release date. -Realizes that it was released 24 years ago. -Remember how excited I was when my dad brought the game home for me when I was 8 years old. -Vividly remember playing this until my thumbs were sore. -Realize how quickly time goes by. -Feeling sad :(

Might be one of the best GDQ runs I've seen, runner is insane and couch is great too, good job guys!

DKC2 is like a finely aged wine

I will never get tired of this. I love you, GDQ

I wait all year for these. Its mind boggling. Love DKC. Also whomever that kid is who keeps explaining all the tricks is awesome. Hes done it for like 4 years and he absolutely kills it. Keep it up homie.

dkc runners are always so deep in the tech, awesome

Lol this game has like five hardest levels

This was just too good to watch, i played DKC since i was a little kid, this was sooo exciting to watch! Must've been awesome to be there in person watching this, i wish i was there. You guys are amazing!

This was an amazing and fun speedrun to watch. Thank you MikeKanis and DKC2 community

One of the best runs, great job done here, the couch was so cool thank you guys

been WAITING for the VOD of this to come out

this absolutely blows my mind

DKC 2 is really good aged.

For me I was never able to beat that final bonus world, but the level that really killed my spirit as a child was just the final boss. For whatever reason I just could not beat him. I tried hundreds maybe thousands of times from the age of like 5-15 and never freaking could beat him. I finally dug out my Super Nintendo in early College and beat him and it was so satisfying. I think this inspired me to try and finally beat that final animal bonus rampage and the bonus Krool boss

I love the trilogy, but this game is so good that 1 & 3 just feel average.

I love DKC2 and its speedruns are so AMAZING

I'm so delighted they got a scrolly-scroll on a GDQ. Well done!

Great commentary and running

This game and Killer Instincts were played religiously in my house💯💯

Runner is a living god...

Great game! As a kid, I didn't even know about roll-jumping until I got to the last regular stage of the game (Screech's Sprint), which is a rude awakening since that's the stage that basically requires that tech. Great to see so many awesome tricks and wrong warps.

16:25 You can actually. The longest recorded time someone has gone without sleep was 17 days. It was during a sleep study specifically designed to see the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation so it was an incredibly controlled environment, but still. For the record that guy was completely fine. Not a single long term negative affect. The longest non-controlled time someone stayed awake was around 11 days.

It took me 37 minutes to realize that the guy on the far right is holding a mini Doki 😄

It's funny how every like 6 minutes someone says "this is the hardest stage in the game"

That was so damned good. I'm gonna try running this game again. Bunch of new tricks since I last tried in 2015

Diddy's Kong quest is definitely the best Donkey Kong Country in my opinion.

Wooooooo SGDQ!!! Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Kong Quest!!!

I'm the worst. Something about the way the announcer said it ... I was today years old when I finally got the pun. Diddy's Kong Quest ... Diddy's Conquest.

one of the best games I have played, too excited when I was young, and the graphics back in the days were the best. I crafted it well back in the days when there was no internet, but never knew it was this messed up with glitches and warps lol

I love that guy who said DK64 doesn't exist. He's not wrong.

this run is bananas

Really fun run to watch! This really makes me want to give the DKC games another shot. Donkey Kong Land for the Gameboy was my first game ever, but for whatever reason I could never get into the Country games.

Wow. I have played this game for years. Only now seeing these secret warps 🙂👍

I played this game so much as a kid that it’s like muscle memory

Dk2 just the best!!

Best speedrun ever

51:24 Dear diary, today, my colourblind ass found out there's a blue *and* a purple type of cloud during the final boss

Very entertaining run!

Awesome run! Thank you for everything 🙏🏻

Love these

I used to think the name was “Diddy Kong’s Quest” lol

So much nostalgia

great run

Fucking love this game, my whole childhood

49:50 This is as far as I've ever made it playing it regularly in this boss fight :(

ROLLLInnn deep.

I thought I knew all the secrets, dkc2 was the first game I owned that wasn’t my brother’s so I took pride in finding all the secrets but damn, I know nothing lol

43:38 can someone explain this fatal glitch?

Wait is there a GDQ going on right now?

Best run

Donkey Kong is the best!!!

Such a cool game, makes me wanna play it again.

I'm surprised skipping almost the entirety of Bramble Scramble saves only 50 seconds.

Diddy's Konquest

36:43 WTH that actually were 2 lives

wait i missed it again? D: aaah... i always miss SGDQs or AGDQs! ;(

How I can like a thousand times? HAHA, THIS GAME ITS SOOO EPIC!

To think their goal was 2 million. :o

52:03 Hype Punch

DKC2 still good

Donkey Kong 2 the best game period

Dk2 > mario

Lets do Diddy rap !!

Could someone please tell me what Rolling D is? @3:35 I hear it often in speed run but don’t know the etymology.

What's the level at 37:30? How come I've played so often through this game and have never seen this?

is that a cheat or a glitch?

Crocodile Cacophony is better than Gangplank Galleon. Including in Smash Bros. Don't @ me.
