classic speedrun game went from 'how do we collect everything as fast as possible' to 'ok guys we discovered how to let DK walk through any wall at any time anywhere"
-
Even I didn’t know I had the record twice lol. Crazy detailed. Awesome video!
-
Beginning: It's a challenging game with over a thousand necessary items. End: and that's when we learned you could just walk through walls
-
As Swordless Link once said: "This is DK 64 so we can just swim through the wall"
-
Nice surprise! One of my favourite speedgames and my main speedrunning community! Gonna watch this over the weekend.
-
Dude just drops amazing videos and then leaves for 12 months. This is the 3rd year in a row now. Connor you can't just keep blueballing us like this.
-
just watched this right now and decided to check the leaderboard to be surprised that it was beaten again TODAY! (5/31/23) with a time of 24:17. Absolutely insane by signa
-
Great video! I really appreciate the amount of research and attention to detail you gave for this project. The "orange revolution" highlight especially brings back such fond memories from when I first learned to speedrun the game. And yet amazingly, today there are 0 orange clips left in the any% route, even on N64. Just goes to show how glitch discoveries are re-shaping the run over the years.

Billy Mitchell completed it before it had loaded.

Love the amount of smaller channels randomly popping up with topics I actually care about lately, always nice finding hidden gems

How did you escape the BARREL the dk64 speedruning community: ... y e a a a a a h

2:00 you scared me that there was voice editing problems, well done with getting the overly complicated problems out there. Also its been so long since Summoning Salt's video and I never played the game I had forgotten much of all it.

This guy surprises us every year
-
True definition of Quality over Quantity. I love your videos man keep it up 👍
-
DK64 is probably my favorite game of all time (atleast tied favorite game). Love it so much and the speedruns can be pretty crazy. Cool to see the history behind the runs! Great video!
-
Great video, I thought you were doing a bit when you described how many collectibles are needed to beat the game because it was so complicated. Despite this, you explained every trick and optimization in a way that made sense to someone who has never played the game.
-
This is one of the best speedrun documentaries on youtube... I look at your videos and you only have 4! You nailed it
-
The legend is back!

30 hours. According to wikipedia, that's how long it takes me to take a shit
