I know spike also commentates for other runners alot and is on alot of couches, but to actively break down his own run while playing is really impressive, I know that's not easy. I've heard his voice for years so I know hes got a lot if time under his belt. Kudos man. Amazing run for an amazing game.

[@jumpmanhammerman1311]

Peak multitasking right there. Did an amazing job on the run while commentating everything and giving insightful info. Even with all that experience, he’s really one of the best

[@TheDirtbaggrif]

Spike is a legend

[@Earthshadowtime]

Spikevegeta is such an amazing commentator! Truly hard to commentate, AND do the speed run! he's so energetic, and entertaining!

[@lawzlive]

1:11:28 was actually a very beautiful moment. It reminded me of the origin of GDQ and how it was just people sitting around on boxes in a tiny room just playing the games they love. It was wholesome. On top of David Wise's Seashore War track playing in the background--which he's been quoted saying it's his favorite he's ever made. I got chills just looking at everyone in the room sitting around playing some games like friends while the famous Kongs hopped around going fast. Never stop, GDQ

[@PhantomBanker]

Did the techs adjust the volume during that stage? It seems like whenever a runner says “you should listen to this,” they always pump the game audio a little louder.

[@IchiSwagger]

Give it up for Spike, still being the best commentator, even when he’s the one playing.

[@luminux1]

I've come to love a bunch of runners and hosts over the years, but Spike is just the most entertaining and carismatic of all runners and hosts. Much Love GDQ

[@lexaaxel6723]

This might sound dumb but for someones as antisocial and that really doesn't really try new stuff as me, Spike is like a superhero. Such carisma, knowledge and professionality. Can't even count how many times have I seen the KH 2 run of 2017 just because of the commentary. Such a blast every second he's on the screen. Keep bringing this chill and fun energy to the world man, you are awsome!

[@jumpmanhammerman1311]

One of the best platformers ever made speedran and commentated by one of the best. Brilliant run for a brilliant game. Hoping for this game to have the sequel it so rightfully deserves

[@Doomsword0]

What a fantastic and action packed run with a great couch and host, such a fun time!

[@onlyspaghetticode8292]

Amazing how well he played while commentating a lot of it at the same time. That takes some serious skill!

[@wangledteb5671]

@42:00 hearing them say that secret exit is the hardest in the game was SO validating for me after spending AGES trying to find it lol

[@Ben-kz2km]

Love the energy of the runner, that was so much fun to watch!

[@manurmad1539]

God this game is so good. Great speedrun and commentary from Spike as well

[@JONATHANP1619]

Homecoming Hijinx is one of my favorite David Wise's tracks. Congratulation spikevegeta, awesome race.

[@SilverwingStudios]

Best Kong is Dixie, hands down, no contest. Tiny is cool too, though.

[@demantim]

Watching this is some of the most fun I've had with DKC:TF, great job!

[@emanuele1358]

Spikevegeta is legendary in the sense that he speedruns a game, but he commentates it like a comentator while playing. Truly next level

[@elishamartinthechannel1859]

Spike is for sure my favorite couch member ever! I lvoe his commentary. He actually makes you feel like your learning something.

[@benrichardson5662]

Spike is what happens when a gamer rolls 18 for his Charisma score.

[@josephmullen4553]

I love how donkey Kong hits every boss with one very slow punch when he beats them haha

[@ArtoriasJax]

I'm fairly new to gdq but I've been binge watching them for like the last week. Spike Is awesome 👍🏻

[@susiemartinez8983]

Did, Spike just commentate his whole run? Lol. This dude never turns it off ans I love it. Quite enjoy Spike speedruns

[@DarsPF]

Props to the one guy in the crowd who keeps clapping for every banana even when everyone else stopped

[@k-leb4671]

46:21 Holy crap, that "Phrasing!" that you can barely hear in the background before Spike speaks again is the underground champion joke of this run. I didn't catch it the first time I watched this.

[@Kelliyi]

severe lack of picross in this run

[@JJKoester]

1:18:00 - What is Cranky IL?

[@OutOfTheGameLetsPlay]

I love when Spikevegeta does runs! The monkey rap donations was an unexpectedly funny surprise too!

[@Actual-Knight]

this is the one I've been waiting for

[@nawnomadnan9874]

Incredible run!

[@CaseyDub]

Goddamn, spike actually running a game? This will be mad! Love that dude's energy when he's on the couch, so running it should be dope!!

[@smashmallow1012]

remember folks, SpikeVegeta did NOT die on 5-3

[@pizzalover346]

Incredible run but bummed that we didn't ever hear any donos with favorite fruit smoothie types

[@toddattwellsconsciouspirat6474]

Hell yeah! This is awesome

[@worldsboss]

This is literally one of the best games I’ve ever played, and it makes me so sad that so few people have played it. The leaderboard should be absolutely packed, considering how it was basically made with speedrunning in mind, but alas… If you’re looking for a new game to run, I hope you’ll consider Tropical Freeze.

[@CarterJackson]

I love Spike so much

[@iprovidethepaint9788]

what's up with the audio at 55:15? Did something get bleeped?

[@ChurchnSarge]

if you're referring to the donation, there's no audio missing or altered in any way. They mention it a few seconds later, but the donation she was reading was based on a popular meme from someone else in the speedrunning community, the oven tweet

[@hichannd5190]

21:46 WOOOOOO!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@goodmusicpodcast7368]

Not gonna lie, I looked up DK64 Randomizer as soon as they mentioned it before continuing

[@gbzmr]

Does anyone know where there is a breakdown/guide for this run? I would love to try and learn this one personally.

[@ChurchnSarge]

[@Kwicc213]

Is there a twitch ch I can follow watch this live?

[@PinkSupervisor]

Rollin deep

[@GhostKumo]

Tell me what you gonna do now?!

[@ryanmckenzie5918]

Amazing!

[@jacobf6945]

If only we had some more picross like last time he ran this

[@williammuirhead6927]

He’s my favorite runner

[@themasteraxe]

What. A. Couch!

[@mjd11452]

Wooo More Spike Vegeta, Though upset that there was no Picross this run!

[@icshade1562]

Kiddie Kong was totally the best Kong!

[@fernando98322]

You love to see a SpikeVegeta speedrun heck yeah

[@bstachutheuneatable1727]

Wait, when did AGDQ go live? What's the status? Are they still doing the virtual stuff? What's future plans?

[@GoldDragon20]

Still funny. Always laughed.

[@autobanblast5782]

Hell yeah

[@k-leb4671]

20:30 "I don't think we said it, but..." No, you said it.

[@Snikpoh1390]

I love Spike

[@jordanjones5751]

Tell Spike I said he did a great job and that he has awesome skills

[@hatemate1612]

Spikevegeta ❤️

[@mackthisarrowhearth295]

It sucks that it looks so easy... it is not, very impressive
