19:15 Donkey Kong 64 song

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

Wait.... Is the title a pun? Diddy's Kong Quest.. Diddy's Conquest... Did I not notice this for like 20 years?!

[@princeapoopoo5787]

TheGoldenDunsparce Meanwhile it took me 20 years to realise it was "Diddy's Kong" and not "Diddy Kong's" 🤦

[@brianzimmerman5321]

Both of those statements just blew my mind

[@cinderblockstudios]

I just had that same realization...also I was calling it Diddy Kong's Quest for that long.

[@leofst]

Hell yeah, me too!!!! I guess i've never heard it said out loud.. it was automatic for me when he called the game's name!

[@Rafael-rn6hn]

At 41:44 the title actually reads "Diddy's Kong-Quest"

[@Tutajkk50]

It still amazes me, how much DKC2 improved on DKC1, it's pretty much a perfect game.

[@KesterStudios]

I actually like the DKC1 more. DKC2 gets too hard.

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

@@KesterStudios Agreed. DK2's levels are so long and boring. I prefer several short and sweet levels over a few super long ones. They could have been more generous with "halfway points" or made those horrible barrel maze levels shorter for sure...

[@Minastir1]

@@KesterStudios but that's the best part.

[@seaningtime]

It's much like Star Trek: The Next Generation, in many ways it is superior to, but will never be as recognized as the original

[@gabrielcamiloanunciatodeol2566]

DKC 2 is the worst of the 3 in my opinion the levels are so long and wait-heavy, with a bunch of parts where yoou need to wait, I don't get how much people like this game honestly 3 and 1 are a lot better and actual platformers not stupid waiting bullshit.

[@Koroar]

Might be one of the best GDQ runs I've seen, runner is insane and couch is great too, good job guys!

[@98danielray]

dkc runners tend to be insane to watch in general

[@JunkWarrior797]

I will never get tired of this. I love you, GDQ

[@Snikpoh1390]

I wait all year for these. Its mind boggling. Love DKC. Also whomever that kid is who keeps explaining all the tricks is awesome. Hes done it for like 4 years and he absolutely kills it. Keep it up homie.

[@trceb]

@MrZeratheMant I agree. This has become one of my favorite gdq. Amazing runner, amazing run and amazing couch.

[@4373fg]

DKC2 is like a finely aged wine

[@TGC32]

-Looks at release date. -Realizes that it was released 24 years ago. -Remember how excited I was when my dad brought the game home for me when I was 8 years old. -Vividly remember playing this until my thumbs were sore. -Realize how quickly time goes by. -Feeling sad :(

[@fernandoblengio]

Ugh...

[@ReviewWingsDSP]

Same, I was 5 and am amazed that I was actually able to play and beat this at that age. Time sure does fly.

[@THamm-xt8jm]

This and yoshi’s Island were the best games to play as a 90s kid

[@allencummings7564]

dkc runners are always so deep in the tech, awesome

[@ikuroineko3533]

This was just too good to watch, i played DKC since i was a little kid, this was sooo exciting to watch! Must've been awesome to be there in person watching this, i wish i was there. You guys are amazing!

[@CMF412]

This was an amazing and fun speedrun to watch. Thank you MikeKanis and DKC2 community

[@stanmarsh3716]

Lol this game has like five hardest levels

[@proofkazama7895]

One of the best runs, great job done here, the couch was so cool thank you guys

[@OPTICGAMER747]

been WAITING for the VOD of this to come out

[@Amy-Nicole]

this absolutely blows my mind

[@SledgeNE]

DKC 2 is really good aged.

[@SoLinkSmash]

I love DKC2 and its speedruns are so AMAZING

[@hellsangel9512]

Runner is a living god...

[@Stuke51]

I love the trilogy, but this game is so good that 1 & 3 just feel average.

[@jermancastro2679]

This game and Killer Instincts were played religiously in my house💯💯

[@lovepirate14]

For me I was never able to beat that final bonus world, but the level that really killed my spirit as a child was just the final boss. For whatever reason I just could not beat him. I tried hundreds maybe thousands of times from the age of like 5-15 and never freaking could beat him. I finally dug out my Super Nintendo in early College and beat him and it was so satisfying. I think this inspired me to try and finally beat that final animal bonus rampage and the bonus Krool boss

[@Chadius]

You're going to feel so proud of yourself when you beat Animal Antics. You can do it!

[@Gingerbran]

Great commentary and running

[@SoumaMondal]

I'm so delighted they got a scrolly-scroll on a GDQ. Well done!

[@mklip2001]

Great game! As a kid, I didn't even know about roll-jumping until I got to the last regular stage of the game (Screech's Sprint), which is a rude awakening since that's the stage that basically requires that tech. Great to see so many awesome tricks and wrong warps.

[@Chadius]

I remember getting to the bonus stage and seeing the bananas hint the roll jump. "What is... Dixie can't fly like that. What is it saying... Diddy?"

[@ryanenglish9131]

Diddy's Kong quest is definitely the best Donkey Kong Country in my opinion.

[@adrock247]

You said it btw I have a SNES with this game

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

51:24 Dear diary, today, my colourblind ass found out there's a blue *and* a purple type of cloud during the final boss

[@PikaLuigi]

It took me 37 minutes to realize that the guy on the far right is holding a mini Doki 😄

[@kanis999]

Dont feel bad, I was running the game and didn't realize until I read this comment

[@TRFAD]

That was so damned good. I'm gonna try running this game again. Bunch of new tricks since I last tried in 2015

[@HansAlRachid]

Really fun run to watch! This really makes me want to give the DKC games another shot. Donkey Kong Land for the Gameboy was my first game ever, but for whatever reason I could never get into the Country games.

[@TheOfficialDJSuperRaveman]

Wooooooo SGDQ!!! Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Kong Quest!!!

[@MrNoctistenebris]

one of the best games I have played, too excited when I was young, and the graphics back in the days were the best. I crafted it well back in the days when there was no internet, but never knew it was this messed up with glitches and warps lol

[@personofpinterest4281]

I played this game so much as a kid that it’s like muscle memory

[@drumd00d]

49:50 This is as far as I've ever made it playing it regularly in this boss fight :(

[@Olivreira_]

this run is bananas

[@mathewyager6657]

Wow. I have played this game for years. Only now seeing these secret warps 🙂👍

[@doomusrlc]

43:38 can someone explain this fatal glitch?

[@kanis999]

He's memeing. You can't break your console from it.

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Best speedrun ever

[@Jake-cc7ie]

I used to think the name was “Diddy Kong’s Quest” lol

[@smward87]

16:25 You can actually. The longest recorded time someone has gone without sleep was 17 days. It was during a sleep study specifically designed to see the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation so it was an incredibly controlled environment, but still. For the record that guy was completely fine. Not a single long term negative affect. The longest non-controlled time someone stayed awake was around 11 days.

[@Milkbutter]

People have also died after just three, so there might be other factors. Not recommended unless you're a Bulblax.

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Dk2 just the best!!

[@allencrown]

I love that guy who said DK64 doesn't exist. He's not wrong.

[@lalethium]

It's funny how every like 6 minutes someone says "this is the hardest stage in the game"

[@dorsvenabili5573]

Awesome run! Thank you for everything 🙏🏻

[@WarrenQueeney]

I'm the worst. Something about the way the announcer said it ... I was today years old when I finally got the pun. Diddy's Kong Quest ... Diddy's Conquest.

[@Skystrike70]

So much nostalgia

[@Stephen8454]

Love these

[@ikillomega]

Very entertaining run!

[@k-leb4671]

I'm surprised skipping almost the entirety of Bramble Scramble saves only 50 seconds.

[@mwatkins0590]

ROLLLInnn deep.

[@hotpancakes9814]

Fucking love this game, my whole childhood

[@AlexanderLeset]

great run

[@VentusFury]

wait i missed it again? D: aaah... i always miss SGDQs or AGDQs! ;(

[@mklip2001]

SGDQ only just started on Sunday. Today is day 3 (Tuesday June 25), so you may still catch the rest of the week!

[@MrJobocan]

Wait is there a GDQ going on right now?

[@scutty4022]

Yes

[@Scrubermensch]

36:43 WTH that actually were 2 lives

[@splashzone8504]

Could someone please tell me what Rolling D is? @3:35 I hear it often in speed run but don’t know the etymology.

[@Kazooples]

I thought I knew all the secrets, dkc2 was the first game I owned that wasn’t my brother’s so I took pride in finding all the secrets but damn, I know nothing lol

[@UraniumCoffee]

52:03 Hype Punch

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Donkey Kong 2 the best game period

[@Tcj333]

Diddy's Konquest

[@fernandoblengio]

To think their goal was 2 million. :o

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Best run

[@pavro_w0t719]

Such a cool game, makes me wanna play it again.

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Donkey Kong is the best!!!

[@joe7323]

What's the level at 37:30? How come I've played so often through this game and have never seen this?

[@horaciooo]

Johannes B. It’s one of the lost world levels

[@miguelfontenele221]

it's one of the "special world" stages, each world has a special world entrance (the one crocodile head that's facing the camera), each entrance costs 15 kremkoins (bonus coins) and each entrance leads to a different stage. The entrance to that stage is in world 5, you have access to the crocodile head after parrotchute panic i believe.

[@evandrosouza8082]

How I can like a thousand times? HAHA, THIS GAME ITS SOOO EPIC!

[@keomaandrade9093]

is that a cheat or a glitch?

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Lets do Diddy rap !!

[@LightSilver7]

DKC2 still good

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Dk2 > mario

[@NerfedFalcon]

Crocodile Cacophony is better than Gangplank Galleon. Including in Smash Bros. Don't @ me.

[@thomasbishop3494]

I think what you meant to say is that Lockjaw's Saga is the best song in the whole game. I will fight anyone who disagrees.
