You’re always entertaining at marathons. This run WAS fueled by your suffering, but we still love you

Easily in the top 10 best GDQ runs of all time.

you did great on this run :D

Seriously. This was absolutely delightful. Hope y'all come back for this again!

One of the best runs I've ever seen. So damn entertaining amazing group!

Paddy is the reason why I watch LTTP runs.

I didn't know one of Psyduck's abilities was Slush Rush

Same here. When the couch mentioned "the wizard with a hat that looks like a face" I was like, "Huh?" Total mind flip!

timestamp of spots you've laughed at plz

Are they just good friends or something? I haven't seen any of either of their streams.

That and the Pitter patter feet sound

At least the cost of it goes up every time so it becomes harder to spam. would be cool if there where more positive affects as well like a intent screen wide monster kill, temporary invulnerability, ect.

Of all the places to come across a Harry Partridge reference. XD

I believe they can be found in chests - except if the player already has the upgrade, it becomes a 5 rupees.

Part of it was due to the fairy reviving him in a manner where he really shouldn't be revived at, that's where all the glitches started happening.

@@ventuskitsune4257 So, the way the game works is that every room has an index/value and when you transition from one to the next, it either adds or subtracts a number from the current index to get to the appropriate index of the room you are transitioning to. The same thing happens when you open a chest: It checks what index that chest has and gives you the effect that is associated with it. However, as the game is incapable of handling such a request at the same time as another effect happens, like drinking a potion (this is the YBA glitch), dying, being revived, etc., it can set the value to one that is incorrect, causing completely weird stuff to happen. This weird stuff can either happen immediately or after some time, which is what happened in PoD.

Most of the time, old games tend to be running on consoles that had very limited processing power, making them incapable of handling several requests simultaneously. This is why in ALttP, the game freezes (enemies don't move for example) whenever you screen transition, die, be revived, open a chest, etc. Because of this, it is normally not possible to die while opening a chest or transition between rooms (because of the processing limitation), so dying during such an event causes behavior that is completely unintended. Andy shows a bunch of these glitches in his Swordless GDQ run a few years ago.

It is also often caused due to oversights by the programmers. Especially the first generation Pokémon games (and second generation as well) has tons of oversights that causes lots of problems. Another example is that many old games are unable to correctly process two opposite D-pad buttons being pressed simultaneously, as it should be physically impossible to press them both, thus this scenario was never implemented. You can see the wonky stuff this does by watching a TAS speedrun of Zelda 2 for example.

I have no idea what Parallel World is tbh

I don't think there's an argument here at all. Like Andy said, you can actually speedrun anything. When it comes to randomizers, in fact, knowing the seed isn't even necessary. Take any game with any random elements at all. There are many games that are very popular to speedrun that have random factors that the player has no control over -- even in LTTP vanilla. How low your time is will be based on a combination of those random factors, your skill, and your adaptability and knowledge of the game. The LTTP randomizer community actually frequently has tournaments of races where all the participants of a round get the same seed. Who wins is sometimes up to chance, but usually the winner is just Andy or Patty because of how good they are at the game.
