The History of Diddy Kong Racing World Records

[@DeafeningCha]

This won't matter to most people, but the image of all the hub worlds at 4:24 was created using multiple pages of the official Nintendo guide. Each time a new hub was introduced, it was accompanied by the pictures you see. It's nice to see something from a 23 year old (and probably fairly rare now) magazine put into the video.

[@Connor01]

This is a seriously good video that deserves so much more attention than it's getting. Amazing job, seriously

[@fricc3824]

i used to play the absolute hell out of this game back when i had my N64. of all racing games i thing that this one deserves a remaster/remake for a new generation to enjoy

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

So I think I saved this video out of curiosity about one of the games I played in my childhood that was nostalgic... I came away from this video in total awe at how innovative and capable people can become to push the limits of technology. I had no concept of "competitive" gaming or speedrunning or even technical improvements when I played this with my family in the 2000s.... I couldn't even beat the game regularly once 😭

[@funnyperson4027]

I really like this video. A lot was done in terms of research and in terms of the video itself getting the right music to keep the atmosphere. Thank you for this

You're too kind, how did you find the video if I may ask?

[@StrongKickMan]

I guess that most of us search for history of speedrunning in a regular. At least that's how I found your video.

[@allovas]

The sound in the last part was less loud than the rest of the video. Other than that, it was really interesting. I really liked the Kredit. More speedrunning history!

[@Abyssoft]

[@cooperlovera1156]

It's nice to be a big enough part of a game's history to get a shout out in a video like this :-D if you ever do anything about IL runs for the game, I'd be glad to chat about what I remember from back in the day!

[@Abyssoft]

I have thought about doing a video on IL's but probably not until the Fall, I'm swamped with content in the pipeline right now, but I'll reach out when I pull the trigger

Really enjoyed this video. For some reason it's so interesting watching people take DKR seriously! It looks like a kid's game but it's actually not easy, and these speed runners push it to the limit. I'm not sure how I feel about the glitch exploits, though. Kind of defeats the purpose?

[@ninteney9777]

Man I remember playing this game as a kid, this video gives me so much nostalgia. My brother and I also used to push the a button to drive faster and later discovered that you could be even faster by doing the barrel rolls. Never knew that those are speedrun tactics 😂❤ I really like your explanation videos about speedruns. I'm wondering if you would be interested to look into a few zelda speedruns because some of them are very complicated with back in time glitches and superswims as well as recoding the game to give you certain items. I feel you would be able to explain those strats to people who have no prior knowledge since your videos are explaining the strats in a simple way.

[@Abyssoft]

There may be a chance I do something covering Back in Time.

[@fitzciaran]

Nice Video!

[@planchetflaw]

Your videos are great and I enjoy watching them. Thanks for all the effort. My main feedback is please use volume control on the streamer reactions. The difference in volume between narration and reactions is ridiculous.

[@PhluppeHimself]

As someone who never beat first wizpig seeing a speedrunner do a bonk against a wall in a WR run: "hah, nice driving loser" But in all seriousness and kidding aside, this was a very sweet documentary and crazy how consistent these top tiers runners are on a very fast paced racing game, well played runners and thanks Abyssoft for this history lesson of DKR

Audio is my number one thing to work on for the next video, what aspects of it need improvement, I'd love to know so I can fix it. Currently I'm fixing the setup so it doesn't sound like I'm recording in a cathedral with so much reverb

[@user-ky4ie9ks2c]

What i got from dd racing speedruns is that Wizpig 2 first out of bounds was needed

[@Abyssoft]

It's really crazy how many world records required a first out of bounds due to how narrow the lead was going into the race.
