[@rotellam]

I love modern game graphics, but there's a charm to the N64's style and Rare's style in particular that can never be beaten.

[@AztecAstro19]

Same

[@hamiltonsupreme8191]

The hardest thing about this game for me was being color-blind. I only knew for sure what was for Diddy hahah

[@inafridge8573]

of all games this def needed a color blind mode

[@AllieMoonSailor]

That's awesome they found a mid range speed run length for people to watch. I can kind of get a feel what's in the game with this run.

[@presidentvochelli]

Seeing that this game is only held together with scotch tape it still runs decently for casual play.

[@Wayte13]

A lot of N64 games were like that. They played perfectly fine in casual play, but if you pushed against the game's physics even a little bit they just give way. Zelda: OOT is another good example

[@sosomadman]

It was that period of time where the 2D games were arguably better than the 3D games... I know I preferred donkey Kong as a side scroll, looked nicer, played smoother

[@coachmcguirk8277]

@@sosomadman Yeah, cuz in the period when games like Super Mario 64 and OOT came out everyone was too busy playing their 2D counterparts instead. What era did you live through?

[@LunarcomplexMain]

38:18 The best line in gaming ever.

[@Yaddlezap]

I'm excited about Yooka-Laylee, but I'd like to see a sequel to DK64 specifically - at least with the feature of switching between 5 different characters (which have their own individual collectibles).

[@snowbunnsai511]

Moon kicks work because the game doesn't. Still my favorite N64 game though.

[@BioYuGi]

Was weird hearing them say Lanky had the worst movement since as a kid I remember wanting to be Lanky as much as possible since his handstand was so fast.

[@rdrmw2]

They should remaster this game

[@inafridge8573]

I wish that they would keep all of the actual content the same as the original, including the physics and the movesets and everything, but just remaster it, yeah. Get rid of any input delay or undersensitive controls, lag issues, stuff like that. This game couldn't run on an N64 game cart without the expansion pack. I'm playing on emulator recently, and it crashes at least once an hour and the further i get into the game, the more often it happens. This would not be happening if it was a remastered version designed for modern hardware

[@TronyFeet]

the first 5 minutes of this speedrun was the most chaotic thing i've seen in speedrunning so far

[@Centaura]

This couch was so sassy and entertaining

[@CoBeX31]

That banter during the intro story glitch was gold. 10/10.

[@Sniperbear13]

at first i thought they were just fooling around. Pro troll strats.

[@TheSassJacket]

All 100,00+ views are just me watching this over and over again.

[@PixxelTrixx]

Very Fun run one of my favs of the marathon great commentary

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

What are some reasons people dislike this game? I remember it fondly and probably through rose colored glasses as a kid. I just know the amount of collectibles was overwhelming.

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

Scott J. Fox I see. Thanks for the reply!

[@Wahaller]

Most dislike it because it's not exactly a Donkey Kong game. And people complain about B&K N&B.

[@isambo400]

+RocketPawnch Much of the game feels like busy work. But on the plus side, there is so much to collect that finishing the whole game is a serious achievment.

[@Templarfreak]

+RocketPawnch I didn't grow up with Nintendo, but purely judging from this video it doesn't really look that bad.

[@Neogears1312]

bit of advice when it comes to speedrunning, they usually choose games they love to play so much they know all the ins and outs. runners love to make fun of the flaws in games they run because A. they're silly and need mentioning or B. just to tease

[@AztecAstro19]

Damn i had so much fan playing this as a kid. It was just magical and mi d blowing for how big the world was for me lol. Good stuff guys!!

[@samstrohmyer1010]

yes walls are part of the lore, they were all wiped out in the great flood... you see what remains.

[@PersianPlatypus]

The donation at 2:12:00 is the best donation I think I've heard lol

[@galenfirestone]

Okay, I gotta ask. Why are the stages guarded by sentient Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[@BraveShowBoys]

Are you dumb or just blind!? They are obviously mini wheats!! XD

[@galenfirestone]

All of the above. Still curious, though!

[@BraveShowBoys]

+Galen Firestone honestly tho so am i now. Where did that idea come from.

[@neurogabu]

+Galen Firestone Because he DOESN'T want the Kongs to know why kids like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[@anonymouspussy8041]

Galen Firestone love you

[@brendenblau671]

I love when he does the moon kick, DK just get locked in the kick animation and away he goes! 😂😂😂

[@linkXness]

1:31:00 Speedrunners gotta love this level!

[@linkXness]

This is one of the best Speedruns imo, i watch it very frequently. Its just so Entertaining and funny. The beginning puts me in a good mood every single time.

[@AllieMoonSailor]

Man U can clip through almost anything in this game.

[@CyclonexxxIce]

How in the world does he deal with that input delay? Would drive me absolutely insane.

[@liviaholm231]

1:16:20 He actually said Lanky PogChamp

[@Gold_Spl]

I love 2dos nicknames for lasagna!

[@PurpleLPikmin]

No more speedruns, I just wanna watch the DK rap

[@dudewhyfi]

It clearly says in the top right that the category is 'no levels early'.

[@Conceptzer0]

haha this was so good! they were fooling everyone watching the stream at the beginning. XD

[@razielredfield2095]

Dk64 is good game with lots of flaws, but tons of charm

[@Philloboy123]

that was a really akward beginning

[@isbilen1000]

+Philloboy123 I thought so too, but then I understood they were using glitches to unlock all special moves

[@theoreticallyinsane5]

+isbilen1000 I think by now it's a common gag at SGDQ/AGDQ (pretending that you're playing the game normally while attempting to glitch it the fuck out) so you just roll with the joke and everything's good.

[@robloxian91]

At my place I am the only one who have beaten the 3rd boss ingame

[@jackmcgarry9158]

totally thought he was just randomly fucking around in the beginning

[@robloxian91]

When they both press the buttons the bell fly i wonder what the bell would do if he had press both the buttons by mistake when he pressed them with his feets after lanky's

[@free_muffin]

2:04:12 *starts humming "American Pie"

[@DaKarmaMayne]

i would like to see some one complete this game on the n64 at a gdq

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

LEAVE LINGUINE ALONE! IT'S DELICIOUS D;

[@mcdonald5519]

1:16:20 Who's Lanley?

[@samuelbirdwell3167]

quality dankey kang

[@_Snowflame]

I know what the song is that's playing when the video starts but I don't actually remember what it's from and I'll probably live my life and die in frustration because I can't place it.

[@MrCrimsonmori]

+Travis Vardy it sounds like zoras palace from zelda

[@Aladato]

+Travis Vardy Should be Zora's Domain from Ocarina of Time

[@_Snowflame]

I'd have gone insane if the ear worm bore its way any deeper into my skull. Thanks, guys.

[@minou_1]

thumbs up if u came here for DK rap

[@nickvalenti7867]

this dude has a particular brand of sarcasm that i fucks wit

[@FlareShift]

i didn't hear or see it listed anyhwere, but is this run 100%? it seems that after Main menu mode you could just go straight to King K Rool.

[@gamesdonequick]

+FlareShift As the title card says this is "No Levels Early". 100% is closer to six hours.

[@FlareShift]

oh, no idea how i did'n't see that. thanks.

[@FlareShift]

oh. well alright then

[@Templarfreak]

+FlareShift At around 52 minutes, they say that a 100% run is 6 hours long while any% is 20 minutes and this is a middling category.

[@AllieMoonSailor]

I never played this game, looks like diddy kong controls like Mario.

[@MagicDoorHinge]

Has nanagans ever been on the couch in a run that isn't glitched to hell?

[@tanyacockle6469]

Me, during the whole beginning mess: what in the FUCK is going on

[@Triforce9426]

Wow I didn't realize that clipping through walls in DK64 was such child's play.

[@xellanoir]

Anyone know where the song from very beginning of the video is from?

[@jennyinutil2018]

1:37:00 To this day I wonder how or why this trick works

[@toaomc4746]

walls are just vertical floors, so if walls are floors than floors are walls, and if floors are walls, THEN THERE'S NO FLOORS EITHER!

[@StriderZessei]

Who is the host reading donations before the run? She has a nice voice.

[@Koroar]

Jeez, the camera never did that on Factory boss on N64, that's putrid.

[@QIIZ]

DK64 ❤

[@heroknaderi]

my favorite

[@ViolinistJeff]

While getting the golden banana between 1:01:20 and 1:02:35, he is mocking the video game, correct?

[@ViolinistJeff]

It´s just that he made his tension sound so realistic, and the applause afterwards sounded so sincere. Initially I thought he might be trying to pull off some really hard glitch.

[@JoshabitheTogekiss]

OH, BANANA

[@aureliaraymond8826]

Who are the people on the couch?

[@youretooslowlolxd8716]

does anyone know where I can get a ROM for dk64, I own it but my n64 is dead.

[@FireSonic102]

what is google

[@AllieMoonSailor]

Moon kick👍🏻

[@Templarfreak]

What specific reason do they have that no save states rule for?

[@ThatCowGuy]

+Templarfreak None. But having save states is like doing a segmented run and that takes the risks and such, so therefore no save states allowed.

[@Templarfreak]

Revilo22x But you could make the same argument for just saving the game.

[@ThatCowGuy]

Not really. Because if you save and die afterwards you would still have to start over from the beginning of the level, some flags reset and it does lose time whatsoever. If you savestated during a run you can just scrap all your mistakes and try again.

[@dantespekken3549]

1:16:20 FOR WHOM?!

[@CorgiusLord]

Just blasted through the hardest puzzle in the game, no safety save, no backup strat... LEGENDARY.

[@robloxian91]

The director at my school sign DK For her INITIALS SO WE NICK NAMED HER DONKEY KONG!

[@Aaron-qe9ms]

The banter is funny, but if you don't know what's going on then it's really confusing to watch... I generally like informative commentary at GDQ's cus runners don't usually explain the runs they do on their own streams because they assume their audience knows what they're doing... It's too bad.. I'm sure I would have found the banter more funny if I wasn't scratching my head at what was going on...

[@rundyftw]

Hey, I kinda like Loki kong

[@robloxian91]

WTF How they got all those move and max health SOo EARLY?? geez what a bug/glitch

[@hurricane9851]

+Zichis20 when he was saying i made a mistake and shit like that in the start what he was doing is a glitch to get all weapons and max health early.

[@leinadlink]

I am the only one who ate a banana while watching this?

[@andrewvanvelsor7426]

I was so confused I had no idea he was working through a glitch lol

[@heck1]

I love how the donation guy was getting into the whole call lunky kong by stupid names that start with L thing at 1:42:44

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

lel, I got trolled by them too.

[@Ubebread1]

this game is broken

[@zonink4601]

Inb4 2dos falls into the water

[@probstanator]

So far this is a pretty entertaining run. But I really don't like this runner.

[@ericfarrow6128]

I would donate if I had cash, but my money is somewhere in my couch... I just don't know where. Now if I we're to donate I will donate to kill the frames but save the animals. it just doesn't make sense... P.S. nonexistent donation goes to commentators choice.

[@Kazuya2406]

Very worst Gamer with bug and Cheats ( Health ) So Bad
