that was the most stressful, horrifying run I've ever seen. amazing work

That hell run had me sweating. Everyone dead silent just listening to the lower norfair theme was kinda intense. Great stuff Oats

Incredible skill. Oats is the GOAT.

2:03:33 Oats gets his revenge for all the deaths he suffered to Ridley in his Super Metroid Impossible run at AGDQ 2020.

That lower Norfair hell run that starts at 2:05:15 in the video had me on edge for a good solid few minutes. What a run!

So awesome. This looks absurdly difficult (it is a Kaizo), and Oats is absurdly skilled. I quite enjoyed the rhyming donations. The announcer didn't even get tongue-tied, either. Impressive. The whole run had some great energy. Good stuff.

Yeahlight, what a legend

The ambience and music of this game works like wonder with the super difficult, stressful gameplay on display here. Commentators with the chill voices too. This run is an experience.

Awesome to see this run! I remember being there when oats finally got the deathless run. Much love to him and the community.

It's all just so great, isn't it? A game from our childhoods (sort of), a very popular and interesting runner, a great couch, a legend on the mic...it doesn't get any better.

Hell yeah the legend is back! I wish I could have seen this live. The Super Metroid Impossible run he did a while ago is one of my all time favorite GDQ runs.

1:54:00 Those mochtroids actually deal a lot of damage in the original game, too. Not a lot of people know this, but the average dps of a mochtroid is actually higher than a metroid! Metroids deal 3 damage every 4/8/16 frames (with power/varia/gravity suit), while mochtroids deal 90/45/22 damage every 80 frames. Thus, mochtroids deal an average of 1.125 dmg per frame without suits, while metroids deal only 0.75, making the mochtroids 50% more powerful. But they die so easily and take so long before their first hit, most people never take damage from them at all. As for the lore, mochtroids are the Space Pirates' first failed attempt to clone the baby metroid. The name is like "mock-troid," as in "fake metroid."

This is one of the most impressive pieces of videogames i have watched in my life. Mad respects to Oatsngoats the MADLAD!

I like this donation announcer. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into this.

The amount of psychological preparation you must go through to finish a run of this caliber in an event... you can't get tired, can't give up and keep motivated. Really amazing!

2:05:17 for that flawless lava hell dive. Holy moly that was intense.

Oats stays so chill. What an incredible runner!!

Oats is just too good at metroid. Really impressive prep and run. Awesome job!

Love watching Oats do these nutty Metroid mods

I loooooove what you guys did with the emote animation on the bottom part of the stream. This year was yet again an absolute blast! Thank you always, GDQ :)

Oats and the couch always deliver amazing experiences, my favorite run is still Super Metroid Impossible from 2020.

The "Oh Gosh" at the end says it all. Amazing run.

OMG Oats! My jaw was dropped to the floor for the ENTIRETY of this run 👏🤩🎉🥳🎊

57:05 just leaving this here so I can find that poem again. This one is by far the best one imo.

And here I thought the impossible run was the height of madness. Amazing run Oats sheesh

That was some flawless execution!

Amazing run, and you’re so polite! Just like you always are on stream each week ;3

Awesome run! Congrats to Oats and good job to everyone involved, both the commentators and the host were also great!

This was truely amazing!

I'm only eight minutes and super stressed out. Holy shit, this is epic.

Kaizo Mario is a special sort of hell. Kazio Metroid........ jmfc why does it even exist. I love this game and I haven't seen a single screen I could clear. Oats is on another level for sure.

that was amazing. the skill oats showed was stunning. first time i've ever seen a kaizo super metroid run and he made it look easy

I don't have even remotely the amount of patience it would take to run this game. Incredible. This game looks absolutely impossible but he handles it no problem.

That hell run at 2:05:15 is easily the best thing I've ever seen from a GDQ. Holy shit.

Incredible run ! GG !

oats might be the best speedrunner at any game. dude is a living legend.

I wasn't the one playing and that acid part after Ridley got me stressed AF D:, awesome gameplay dude

Super Metroid runs are always fun to watch. Timless classic.

There is skill, and then legends like this exist. What an incredible run.

I had no idea there was such thing as Kaizo Metroid but I knew I had to watch as soon as I saw it. There’s something so funny to me to see that it’s practically Celeste level design inside of Metroid

Taunt the Animals% gotta love it!

The developer intended reason for unequipping items, was for the special beam attacks, which required you to only have Charge and one beam type equipped to execute. The other tricks we do are just happy accidents :)

I DIDNT KNOW THAT YALL WERE IN PERSON AGAIN, IM SO HAPPY

Goatly amazing run!

Stressful to watch, will not play. GJ Oats.

Yowza, what a spicy run! Congrats Oats!

It's runs like this where I'm holding my breath while sitting at my desk watching.

Room 2 is where I would be saying "HOLY F**K NO!", so all the more power to Oatsngoats.

Just, wow! Oats is amazing!

This is how I saw Metroid when I played it for the first time

I have probably seen this 4 Times. But i still clench my asscheeks everytime Oats has to make a really difficult walljump och anything! 😂

Oats is indeed the goat. What a great run. I can't even do SMI, I won't be any match for Kaizo lol

loved the part at 44:10 where he executed that bomb jump trick

I felt that “Oh, gosh” at the end. 😂

Props to Oats for having the mental fortitude to run that. It looked like the most unfun game I've ever seen.

So nice to see Oats at another GDQ

God I love to see my boy Oats lay it down.

You can be in the acid for less time than my reaction time, great run

Nice save, right at the beginning of the run

This is way too impressive

There are some parts around 1 hr and 8min into the video where the stream video freezes

This NEEDS to come back soon

When you save the animals, you kill a run. Thank you for saving another's run!

What the fruit man. This is amazing

This is the run when Samus earned her title as greatest bounty hunter.

Just... WOW

Wild

Damn, Oats!

Kaiiiiizooooooo!

Donos are fine.

Yooooooo I love speed crabs

That’s why he’s the goat 😂

51:15 this woman is either Katara from Avatar The Last Airbender or Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman. Absolutely no hesitation on perfectly pronouncing a surprise tongue twister.

"Oh gosh!" 😂

The Hell Room starts at 2:05:14

Go Oatsy Go. YE YE!

METROID IS THE BEST NINTENDO GAME,ANYONE WHO DOSEN'T AGREE...has a valid opinion, and I won't argue.

Oh, god. The Impossible Speedrun.

Oh gosh.

I was holding my breath with couch from 2:05:23 to 2:08:20 💀

WE WANT KAIZO CUPHEAD!!!

Bro is a god

Epic hell run at 2:05:13

Wow .

What's gonna happen next year, Kaizo Super Metroid Impossible?

I want to see kaizo Barney the purple dinosaur for Sega Genesis

Lmfao right as I was wondering if/when and how much he'll donate, Yeahlight (Idk how it's spelled) straight up Kool-Aid man's through the door with an $11,111 dono 😳 Idk what that guy does for work, but he sure does the hell out of it 😂😂

Oats' favorite Pokémon is Exeggcute.

Normally when the donations all get on a single bit it's obnoxious puns that ruin watching the run, but all these rhymes people sent in were really really impressive and char_bunny reading them all out without missing a beat is just perfection.

Now I'm wondering what the jape with using X-Ray in the save rooms is all about after someone mentioned it multiple times...

just for the record, this run had a 1 minute difference from the kaizo SM run down to the second. lol what a weird coincidence.

Who is knew the speed running community was so big.

Deaths. 9. Energy. 6+3=9. Missiles. 5+4=9. Whoa.

To all those who donated to this, thank you! It is because of you people like you who actually "Love thy neighbor" that give them a chance to love back.

Favorite Pokémon? Charlzard

Is that speedrunner from germany ?

does anybody know what the "collect 2042" message embedded in the wall at 56:22 is about?

no DEERFORCE?!?!?!

Char bunny reading some of those donos was incredible
