Donkey Kong 64 by Connor75 in

AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

[@spyfoxguy]

For those that don't know the backflip lore: Connor75 once choked a world record DK64 speedrun on the final input. Instead of pressing B in the crouch for the Primate Punch, he pressed A. He explained it himself at 2:03:23

[@supabass4003]

Expansion pack fact: It enables the lighting that you see in the game, DK64 features vertex lighting that is similar to Perfect Dark which also requires the expansion pack. The rumor about the expansion pack fixing a bug in the game in the last stage of development is not true, a DK64 dev has since clarified that the expansion pack does infact make the lighting effects in the game possible.

[@psychochayden69]

it fixs the freezing up. trust me. i don't doubt that it helps with lighting, but my game used to constantly freeze up on me and it stopped doing that once i put in the expansion pak.

Ive waited years for a real dk 64 run at gdq finally

[@nilsgoliasch244]

One of my favorite games. Only one still missing on Nintendo Switch online

[@kakofps]

My favorite childhood game. Got it when I was 10 yo, with zero english knowledge and no internet around me. It was fun to discover everything in this game just by exploring and learning the mechanics. A truly masterpiece imo. The only thing that was a bit overwhelming was the collector side of the game. Every goddamn banana, blueprint and coins for every single one of the characters was a little too much when I was a kid haha

[@redacted3198]

Yo Connor I'm happy to see you up on the big stage. I love watching your runs.

[@thehypist2587]

One of Rareware’s finest collectathons next to Banjo-Kazooie. This game is fantastic and I hope DK64 eventually comes to the Switch, amazing run Connor!

[@MissAshley42]

I'm surprised they got THE Donkey Kong to show up. I know his movie-shooting schedule is pretty tight right now.

[@buffynatorofficial]

Oh Banana! This Speedrun was cool. The Commentary from the Couch and Donkey Kong very Good.🍌🍌🍌

[@lordgeovanni]

1:47:50 This is pretty much the entire run, and it is worth it to watch.

[@dragonexpert8323]

Have not finished watching it, but it would be hilarious if "Fake Key" comes up again like in the one GDQ event.

Not the tech crew freaking out after hearing they lost audio 😅

[@aerrowqueing]

fantastic run, fantastic commentary, fantastic game! Probably will be my highlight for this year

[@Flamingosaurus1]

Connor on stage!! Massive!!

[@forever_mattdog9778]

I remember, I was actually racing a friend of mine in the dk64 randomizer, when he pointed out that dk64 had a shocking amount of viewers on Twitch. It was something crazy like, over 60k. It was surprising at first, until he mentioned that it was being run at gdq. Nothing really special to the story, just interesting, I completely forgot to check this out before, so I'm glad to finally see the run

[@MikeCantGame]

we need to stop the whole "pretending to mess up" commentary...

[@evilvitamin]

Yeah. It’s not funny, it doesn’t fool anyone, and it makes it harder to follow the explanation of what’s happening.

[@tresman91]

Plus, it makes you not sure whether or not to believe when runners are actually struggling.

[@MissAshley42]

You seem fun.

[@berniespy]

Dude it was so annoyingv

[@papermario3982]

Agreed, it's only really funny when it's very short and exaggerrated and clarified immediately, DK64's setup is so long that it isnt funny having them drag on the bit for like 10 minutes when I'd rather hear why they're doing what they're doing. Same thing happened last time someone ran DK64 and it was just as unfunny and annoying. Runners PLEASE do not do this again the next time DK64 is in GDQ

[@justinbuergi9867]

Absolutely loved this game as a kid but came back recently and just couldn’t work with the controller and camera I’d definitely kill for a remake lol Great speedrun!

[@shishinonaito]

The game was hot garbage when it first came out and it's aged incredibly bad, obviously, but it makes up for it by being an awesome speedrun, so we have that at least

[@justinbuergi9867]

@@shishinonaitoall it needs is a remake to polish the edges

[@LotteBlueJays]

​@@justinbuergi9867They need to cut out like 60% of the pointless collectibles at least. There was never any reason for each character to have an entire game worth of collectibles each.

[@blazikenblast0520]

The way I defeated Mad Jack before my dad when I was like 3 was a highlight I will never forget lol THIS GAME RULES!!

[@korados5146]

I missed it... I only realized it was yesterday right after it was over.

[@ninatiels]

Already got my gdq bingo. “Hype” walls are just a suggestion. Bad pun. That’s never happened before. And game character on the couch

[@Hidden_Fern]

Yup! Iirc there was a ‘never happened before’ in the second run of the marathon lmao

[@someonesomeone8723]

Nintendo needs to put this on the 64 expansion pack for the Switch..it’s a good old fashioned wholesome adventure

This dude has been king of this game forever does he have any legit competition?

[@NintendoRetroChannel]

id love to host a castlevania 64 speedrun here and show the world I am the best Reinhardt

[@ToxicNT]

That’s my favorite castlevania. Man I’ve been on such a kick lately. Can’t wrap my head around the fact that as Carrie, I found her secret pillar on the platform in her level after castle keep, I just never knew to throw holy water on the pillar before breaking it!

[@TheRealSwood]

Hey KZbin comments, did you know there is a DK64 randomizer?

[@TheRealSwood]

dot COM? No, dot EDU.
