[@ATompkins1991]

wow holy moly the VODs are already getting posted???? shoutouts to the tech crew, this is amazing!!

[@jpVari]

Not only that, there's a schedule for the whole event and as each run occurs they add a link to the KZbin upload. Amazes me every year 😊 Edit - twice every year

[@San_hook]

Shout out to those two guys in the back couch who emoted everytime Diddy missed a bonus, love those guys

[@capitaljjenius]

they also flipped their hat in the air when Diddy beat a boss

[@Sarcose]

Thank you for pointing it out, that made this even better

[@diegoleal1207]

he did it when he won too, i dont understand why be specific with "missed"

[@augustgirl515]

This was an awesome run, Tonkotsu makes it look so effortless when this game single-handedly kicks my butt to this day. Keep rolling deep!

[@bLuGhOsT_]

I've been watching DK speed runs for yeeeears but I can't believe I've never heard about this category until now!!!

[@brandontalbort]

Mind blowing from someone who doesn't follow DKC speedrunning. I remember doing that first wrong warp from world 1 to 3 as a kid and having absolutely no idea what I had done. Never understood until (partially) now.

[@kirah.7106]

I read about that warp online. I was always confused and wondered why it sent you to the middle of a level instead of the start Didn't realize until a speedrunner explained that it was unintentional.

[@RyanSpargo]

VODs up this fast is the truest speed run.

[@realsman13]

The real star of this video is the guy in the back acting like Diddy the whole time

[@luciejutsum417]

This is an incredible run!! Great work Tonk!

[@quackerzdb]

When I was a kid I found a wrong warp randomly. I remember where it came out but not where it started. I have never seen anyone else do it. I stand corrected! Tonkotsu does it at 35:50!

[@DieDoitDudes]

it's insane how good this game still looks!

[@Bi_scotti_5]

7:10 something about how Diddy is moving as the pan pipes come in is sending me

[@pastorphilip2701]

From Ghana back in those days it was difficult to complete this game. THANKS GDQ.

[@kirbyrock5]

OMG, dang you Oil Drum Alley! Thank you GDQ! I could never understand why I couldn't get 101% as a kid! I finally understand!

[@サンナナ-t2p]

精度高くてすごい走りだと思いました！！！GG！！

[@JoeyWoeyUwU]

I LOVE WINKY THE FROG

[@PoisonInc]

I've missed the live audience events.

[@BrandonDilbeck]

Wonderful run from Tonk and great commentary from V0oid and Glan, as always.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

I think I spent like a solid 30 minutes just trying to beat the end boss the first time through. Cheers to the first game in an amazing franchise!

[@bajorekjon]

Great run to kick off the first day of GDQ

[@mint_marigold1229]

this run is absolutely insane, props to tonkotsu

[@munz4631]

I just started playing this again with my kids. I didn’t even know this game was broken 😂😂😂 Shoutouts to the runner and the music!!!!!

[@ImpmanPDX]

I played DKC in the Blockbuster World Video Game Championship. I got like second or third in the SoCal region, but a kid I knew won state for Judge Dredd on the Genesis that year.

[@GetCareless]

MINDBLOWN

[@MissAshley42]

Now that's some primo monkey business.

[@marceloz7894]

amazing

[@wolvie90]

Hot damn this music. David Wise is a mothertrucking legend.

[@louis-danieltaillefer174]

The section in the Platform Perils stage where they ''fly'' rolling, redefine the Cat in Space meme itself.

[@dudebfg0123]

41:07 shoutouts to the person in the crowd mimicking Diddy's movements for the bonus

[@marcgii]

DKC continues to be my favorite series to watch speedrun. But why is RBO 100% a category?!?! Do any other series have that lol? I wonder what the next DKC speedrun at GDQ will be

[@Weste88]

i might have missed it, but why are the bosses getting reversed? is it that really a time safe? I actually have no clue about speedrunning DC ^^

[@luciejutsum417]

Is there a way to see the comments from twitch in a side by side?

[@coolnath99]

8:01 Why don’t you beat King K Rool first? Isn’t he the last boss?

[@JoseRios94]

Ship doesn't spawn if the bosses aren't beat if I remember correctly

[@glan9]

K Rool can only be fought after beating world 6, and also is the only way to trigger the end of the game, so we still fight him last. This is pretty normal for a lot of games' RBO categories

[@____chris]

Donkey Magic

[@ThonyHedgehog]

Would have been something if the one controlling the timer got in the joke of the fake end and stopped the timer at the first K. Rool defeat!

[@nocturn3579]

Epic

[@jeffkotuby]

As someone whose favorite DKC animal friend is Rambi, I don't like this run. At all. I'm kidding, it was awesome, but I love Rambi.

[@BirthdayBeyond]

I know it's the character name, but it hurts me inside when they say "expresso".

[@funkyflights]

😮

[@alexb3577]

Glan!!!

[@theodore7313]

🫨🫨 The couch and crowd are back!!!!! So glad to see. Stopped watching GDQ when it became just streams with commentary. The couch and crowd are what makes GDQ unique compared to just watching a speedrunner stream.
