I hope you all enjoy this run! As I said in the run here, this is my favorite video game and I am honored to show off what it is capable of and what the speedrun looks like after 9 years of practice. I really wish the end had gone better, but overall I think it was a pretty representative depiction of the game. Haha. Thanks for supporting GDQ! See you next time. ^_^

Hi PJ! Congratulations for this very solid speedrun. Do you remember me? Of course you do, you're such a nice guy! I was scrolling through the AGDQ playlist looking for any speedrun made by you and I'm really glad that I found this! I always knew that you are awesome, I remember that I was cheering you up since your first attempts ^__^ Man I can't believe 9 years have passed already! This is a great pay off for all your hard work after all those different strats and live streams. The run was almost perfect!! all the first half is so incredible, no time lost, you got all the patterns/strats right and never failed the double phoenix on gargoyles, also I'm impressed with how detailed and technical the speedrun commentary was. The rest of the run is great too, the only death that really hurted me was the one against Tanzra, but everything else is wonderful. I'm glad that you are still defending Actraiser 2, you already made this game more popular thanks to your streams and the 2 live runs at these events. Also Thank you very much, I'm so honored for the little shout out in the interview, you didn't say my name but I know that you were talking about me after you mentioned the SDA forum =) That made my night. I hope you're having a great start of 2019.

Thanks a lot of this! Also the time was great, pretty much world record pace the first few levels? Which is crazy for such a punishing game..

Got this game for my birthday when it came out. Was also disappointed in the lack of a sim mode. But man, it's so good. It didn't take long to get the hang of the jumping, gliding, and attacking. Can't do this obvs. But the graphics, music, and gameplay are just so good. Always thought if they implemented the sim mode with the same level of improvement and polish, it would have been remembered as one of the greatest 16-bit games ever made.

Never got the meme that the second game was trash because it was different from the first one. It's hands down the best looking platformer on the console and no games comes close to having that many moves, you can glide, double jump, use a lot of different moves/magics, the stages and the enemy are also very cool, not to mention on the same kind of difficulty as Super Ghouls N Ghost. What's not to love?
