Def still an MVP

According to the speedrunners he isn't playable in the first game either

@@KMoonshield lol i was gonna say hes barely used in 1

How many Legend of Zelda games do you play as Zelda?

Thank you! :)

Very excellent!! Best trilogy of all time!

I was outstanding, to the point that after DKC1, the race became a lot less interesting because there were no other comebacks.

Vooid throws everyone under the bus lmao. Guys a major douche

No cussing in the comments. This is gdq.

Try to find on google easter egg in Earthworm Jim with Donkey head

Same here, it’s so soothing to watch and listen to these videos!

if you liked that, there's an interview about this DKC race in front of the Grand Thef Auto run

thank you and you're welcome

antilles58 Sir you fucking destroy as a commentator. Congratulations. What about run a romhack like Hard as Kongcrete next marathon?

thanks! high praise, indeed! glad you enjoyed :) A ROM hack like that would be awesome to see, for sure! Right now I'm not aware of anybody running one though, so not sure who could submit it. Maybe there's an opportunity for you to do it!

Just wanted to echo that. They were professional, self-effacing, and still finding interesting stuff to say after 2 hours. Great job guys!

antilles58 Acctualy I'm struggling to beat it normally. But someday who knows. Still a recommendation :)

Wow we got Mang0 and SilentWolf! 😂

Melee

I love rootbeer but, hate to brake it to you but, um...That most likely will never be a team.

Runners weren't allowed to start the next game until a certain point in the previous game's credits so there was no reason to be fast about the transition.

Michael Kanis ah ok, we'll guess I'm gonna less annoyed about that now :)

I like DKC3 a lot, but it is a bummer that there are multiple auto-scroller levels that force you to stay within the screen. There's no reason logic-wise as to why the Kongs can't keep moving up and up past the saw or burning rope in Ripsaw Rage and Kong-Fused Cliffs respectively. Once again I'm surprised that they think that DKC3's difficulty is a brick wall in comparison to the previous games. I always though DKC1 had the worst difficulty curve, with Snow Barrel Blast being a 10m brick wall. K3 in comparison to Mekanos didn't feel too much more difficult to me as a kid. DKC2 probably had the best difficulty curve. I was hoping that Team Kiddy would win, Kiddy being the underdog...but oh well. Diddy is the fastest character after all.

Yeah it's definitely a bummer that there's not a great way to skip those autoscrollers. the TAS can skip Burn Your Rope with a long series of frame perfect inputs, and there is a zip you can do to skip about 12 seconds of Ripsaw in the 103% run, but sadly that's all. I was referring more specifically to W6,7, and 8 being where the difficulty picks up a lot in DKC3. K3 and Mekanos are probably comparable - agreed. It's just that the jump from W5 to W6 in difficulty is very abrupt, IMO. I agree - DKC2 has the smoothest curve.

The goal is to raise more money by having donors choose whether or not they want the animals at the end of super metroid to be killed. It is sort of a side quest.

Metroid runs. You can save animals at the end which costs time, or kill the animals.

Michael Kanis Thanks, I figured it was a donation incentive of some sort, just had no idea what for. Cheers, and thanks for the run, too.

At the end of Super Metroid, there's an option to either save some friendly animals or just leave them behind. It's faster to skip them, but nicer to save them. So there's a bid war that goes throughout the marathon, highest total decides.

WOW! Funny and curious stuff haha. Thank you so much!

Thank you. I also didn't know this.

Sorry :( If there's anything in particular you were hoping to hear more about, I can answer any questions here!

wecameasandys I would say that, unfortunately, that's the downside of race commentary. You have multiple runners approaching multiple tricks all the time and there is soooo much to talk about in these games. I would say the commentators did an excellent job.

SPOILERS Yeah, V0oid had a very bad day and he was the best runner on Kiddy.

Is that the same SilentWolf? Wasn't even thinking about it lol

qwerty989898989898 he speed runs a few games actually. If you watch his twitch streams he will speed run mario party and his other games.

"Still a better ski grab than bluntbunny" Bluntbunny is another dkc3 runner and Supreme is saying he is better at grabbing the ski that drops off the boss.

It's called a jumproll. Basically, just press Y on a frame where you're falling on an enemy yet still on the ground (ie, the game still lets you roll, but you're starting to bounce off of an enemy).

Thanks

No. V0oid continued playing. And he missed many times.

He didn't. Just pay attention to his hands when the screen fades in and out. He waits on the map before starting levels so the audience doesn't miss it.

He did. He was on a boss fight when the signal was lost for the second time. He was probably waiting for the boss death animation to end and then, coincidently the signal was reestabilished. If he waited for it anyway, he only lost a few seconds.

He kept playing the whole time. I was the runner right next to him.

JustCGR Oh ok. That makes sense I guess.

You can't really 'choke' frame perfect tricks in that game (runs at 60fps). The fact that the other runners got so many of them is actually really surprising.

yeah. the only real mistake he had was right after the midpoint in Platform Perils. Other than that he had a really, really clean run. none of us consider missing jump rolls to be a "mistake" unless you botch the setup, and he didn't.

Sara McDonald don't you talk bad about my boi Otto
