Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest by V0oid and waffle42 in

[@haaidan3173]

Fun fact: A long haircut is required for a valid DKC2 speedrun.

[@orlandofeanor6818]

They don´t have TIME to get a haircut

[@TitanMorsche]

I love the hype on the couch. He just seems so into the run and like he's having a blast talking about it.

[@chronikoflife]

This is the game I think of when I get nostalgic... everything about this game is perfect for me the levels, the characters and of course the music. The music alone takes be back 15 years

[@kalas9000]

Spike will always be my favorite. When he's on any couch, he's always able to give really good commentary regardless of the game and he's always able to crack jokes with ease. It just makes it so much more fun and entertaining.

[@Fasumbra]

The Web Woods and Parachute Panic section was fantastic. Even the absolute best players can still get roadblocked by this unforgiving game. Glad they could laugh about it, I would have been way too stressed out!

[@PlutoTheThing]

Mordant Potency Well I never found Web Woods that hard but that stupid parrot level was one of the hardest for me, maybe the hardest.

[@liamwiles6949]

guy on the couch is 10/10, by far best host on GDQ

[@philip0544]

Spike is good, but i'm a pretty big fan of Edobean as a host as well. It's definitely between those 2 for me.

[@shinespider]

Agreed, Spike brings great energy to everything.

[@SoraMotto]

Spike Vegeta is one of my favorite parts of AGDQ. He's in a lot of the KH speedruns and those are golden

[@TheOfficialDJSuperRaveman]

Liam Wiles SpikeVegeta is awesome

[@LysolPionex]

Hands down spike is my favorite gdq host

[@doxfie.]

to this day, SpikeVegeta never made an attempt to clear his throat...

[@pavro_w0t719]

Couldn't watch this amazimg run on stream, so thanks for posting this! My favourite plattformer on my GBA.

[@MoundN]

I always love speedruns commentated by SpikeVegeta, his voice and his humour are so awesome! Loved it!

[@isprobablyjobhunting]

12:39 for couch cut.

[@kennikitty]

I love this game so much, it's one of my fondest childhood memories and one of my favorite games of all time. Great to see it being raced at AGDQ. More DKC2 is always good.

[@KunaiKrazy]

I love this game. After 22 years DKC is still in my top 5 of all time. _Easy_ I think I might have beaten this 10+ times. 100% several times. The music and the levels get me.

[@mwj9080]

YESSSSSS!!! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID. I still have this game and will keep it the rest of my life until it dies on me. This game shaped my childhood and I am forever grateful to God for allowing me the pleasure of experiencing such a beast of a legend as this classic!

[@carlosc6983]

That dude on the couch!! 1000% awesome commentary!!

[@icozbas]

OMG! Dave Mustaine is speedrunning.

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

Whoever the commentator on this video is is great. He goes, "ooh, not as much of a 'G' but good enough". Lol great commentary, funny and really informative!

[@keithbussanich]

Live commentary on point. Good job couch

[@coorslite619]

I wish these were advertised better I always miss these runs :(

[@ek8285]

Its the same time twice a year every year so....

[@Cybermaul]

I always miss them because I have a busy life and forget to pencil these events in.

[@VraccasVII]

31:25 love it when they just look at each other like "good job dude, this went well". True spirit of a friendly race. EDIT: never mind, apparently it was "this run sucks" lol

[@JoseRios94]

This run was so good :D I really love DKC 2 my fav from the trilogy hope some day I try to speed run and Waffle and V0oid make it fun with the chokes

[@GustavoAraujo-uv4sr]

Am i the only one who loves v0oid? Hahahaha alwesome run

[@Ponyj0]

No way, I also love v0oid! Rollin deep!

[@CoralMan24]

great run and wonderful commentary

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Man I Love it !!! Best game of all times

[@sams6118]

30:30 this music

[@shinoto.]

Best Track

[@macaroniwithcheese3133]

The short hop, the true double jump, and the omega double jump.

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

Macaroni with cheese do you know how to do them? I'm sitting here trying to figure it out and for the life of me I CAN'T DO IT! Lol

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Wow ive never seen someone beat levels this quickly kudos to both players.

[@UrielManX7]

30:24 Best song of the game right there. It fits the stage as well as a carpenter in a butchery, but damn is good.

[@StefanNorlin]

Didn't know that Dave Mustain is doing DKC2-speedruns! impressive!

[@deloron8813]

The fails were so funny ;)

[@galaxybounce1002]

At first I wasn’t a fan of Spike’s commentary, but after watching some of the other runs on here I realise it’s pretty damn good by comparison.

[@Serum462]

Waffle looks a bit like Dave Mustaine.

[@MarshallSambell]

Great run by both

[@Joxic]

Amazing run, love the commentary. 1:04:06 is it me, or is the 1-up balloon glitched?

[@TakaiDesu]

Apparently, SpikeVegeta: Or you absolutely love him, or you absolutely hate him I love him! 😂

[@engelostermann7203]

A Donkey Kong Country 2 100% speed run is needed.

[@antilles58]

v0oid did one at AGDQ 2016! It was very fun.

[@engelostermann7203]

I must watch that!

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Man I Love so much this Donkey Kong race #agdq

[@elementalfunk]

awesome awesome commentary

[@DJEcchi]

35:11 what were they laughing about?

[@sportigothic]

What did they hear at 37:21 that Spike commented on? Am I missing something?

[@ryanbradley248]

sportigothic if you listen closely he says "shit"

[@sportigothic]

Ryan Bradley Oh wow. I REALLY had to listen close to hear that. Thanks!

[@jawstrock2215]

where is that Setup block 1 any% by Tech crew vod? I want to see that! ;)

[@Mathtron5000]

4:31 is my donation

[@Trollseeder]

:)

[@zellorz]

nice dude

[@Jamdog95]

Mathtron 5000 a

[@oscarb310]

Nice bro 🙏🏼

[@dany-danke1994]

29:23 Ninja's Jump Jutsu 😎

[@rod.me96]

I have a question, in the final boss, you can see at the left sife of the screen a metal door, in VOOID's run, this door is normal but in WAFFLE42's run it's broken, why is that?

[@JamisonTrumpets]

Rodrigo Medina waffle runs on the JP version, so there are slight differences. If you also notice, during Haunted Hall waffle only has to jump over two bees after the midpoint but v0oid has to jump over three. There are other small differences like this

[@rod.me96]

DanielRGT ooooh I see, you're right ! thank you!!!! :D

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Man....i Love it

[@NotChillin]

The Jump 1:03:00

[@KabutoRyu]

good god EVENT HAS BEGUN [kinda late to know it]

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

How did they get those beetle clashes to work in red-hot ride. It never works for me unless I do it quick as F and completely dodge kruncha.

[@Caladas]

Hey, as a person who wanna start dipping my toes into speedrunning 102%, I've heard that I should get my hands on a V1.0 NTSC-J cart. But how do I tell what version the cart is running? Is there any particular letters that I should be looking at on the cartridge's region code or something? Or is it the same as the NTSC-U verion with the letters and numbers? I haven't been able to find this on the dkcspeedruns.com website, nor in any other forum :S

[@Mullkaw]

22:21 Pause.

[@viktorvondoom9119]

I have played this game as a kid

[@DougUnfunny]

the audio switcher killing me. you have one job. one!

[@emanuele1358]

wtf happened at world 4 lmao. Still a nice showcase guys.

[@L3X1899]

they said warpless right? don't the bonus barrels technically break that rule, by warping the player a bit through the stage regardless of success or failure? I'm well aware of the dev warp barrels, but you can't deny that most, if not all of the bonus barrels DO warp you through the stages.

[@supernintendochalmers6628]

This is fucking awesome. Lol head to head speed racing. U guys should take bets to make more for charity.

[@k-leb4671]

I'm really peeved that DKC1 and DKC2 had runs this GDQ, but once again DKC3 was forgotten. I know it's not as popular as the others, but a lot of work has been put into it lately in terms of the speedrunning community. Plus, it doesn't help that most DKC3 runs in previous GDQs are tarnished by subpar commentating and incessant negativity towards the game.

[@PlAsKusJ3GaRn]

I remember Dinkey King from when i was young

[@knowmeaswiii]

how many games does spike run?!

[@TheOtisUpham]

What other runs is spikevegeta on the couch for? He is such a good commentator.

[@cocomunga]

Warpless is great. It’s so boring watching warps in every level.

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Donkey kong is the best

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Wow!!! Nice

[@stabf2635]

TWO WEEKS TO SGDQ MY HYPE IS EXPLODING FROM MY SIDES

[@Eowyn_Arwen]

31:00 this song ;( !!!

[@Thundermikeee]

I didnt know people dont know what a blunderbuss is ... well you learn something new every day

[@TheHmm43]

39:11 NOT EAGLES

[@Salchipapafied]

It bugs me that you don't know or remember the word "blunderbuss". It's not that complicated.

[@mut21]

Dave Mustaine casual play

[@el_principe3611]

Make the seal throw up in the water so it cools off...ew

[@andrez2862]

Wooo

[@rodrigocardoso7440]

Hardcore

[@Nathan-lb4mj]

12:41 :)

[@drumcorpful]

Waffle looks like Jimmy Fallon!

[@TheGentlemania]

I'd prefer if Vegeta stopped clapping for every single thing

[@bongchoof]

yeah fuck enthusiasm.

[@Bdewd]

anyone else get kinda triggered when he was saying hitbox instead of hurtbox? probably just the fighter game player in me XD

[@rosebug2275]

My god, the main commentator is awful. I don't think he stopped talking for more than a few seconds the whole time. I imagine hanging out with him is akin to wearing sandpaper underwear.
