Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards by Curtissimo41 in

[@matthewvonbargen9450]

Love to see the banter of the couch, the knowledge of the runner, and how the announcer also was genuinely engaged with the run.

[@C4_XceLsior]

Happy to see this. 100% , idk if ever i've heard the Host mesh so well with both Runner/Couch and game. Recognized FruitCup from some other run, she's a good host.

[@jazzerjaw]

@@C4_XceLsior Yeah it's also just because she's a huge Kirby fan, on top the fact she's speedran this game too (dunno about any other Kirby games, but I wouldn't be surprised). She's a genuine sweetheart.

[@LoekZuijderwijk]

​@@C4_XceLsiorthere was a burnout paradise run that went off the rails. Mostly energetic announcer and donators, but it really worked (few years ago)

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

Looked it up because it sounded like she also ran the game and was right she does, so that definitely helped the engagement there

[@Chernobog34]

Kirby 64 is one of my favorite 64 games, hands down. It's one of the few I come back to years later and still love every second. So awesome to see it run this event.

[@juanchetumare]

This runwas quintessential GDQ. Great game, great run and runner, entertaining couch, engaged crowd, and fun donos. Tysm!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1001">16:41</a> Its not just a curling stone... its a rock xD

[@eleronpfoutz7823]

The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!

[@Tessseract_]

I'm just going to say, not enough people give love to electric fire. Something about Kirby setting himself on fire and running around helplessly has always made me laugh uncontrollably.

[@francjirachi]

I loved this so much, kirby 64 is my favorite game (and the whole franchise) and the runner couch and host were all amazing

[@ninjapotatolorf6237]

There's not enough love for the giant flaming sword ability

[@uwotm-kn6ic]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2458">40:58</a> this question made me spill coffee all over my keyboard

[@lily13337]

really?

[@MetaSieg]

This was an awesome run. And the commentators were having a great time which made it even more entertaining.

[@knowwhoiamyet]

Crystal Shards was such a fun idea with the fusion of abilities. I really wish they'd do more of that again, because it was so exciting to see what new fusions you could come up with when the opportunity arose, and how they'd play.

[@CopShowGuy]

I think the closest we've gotten since then is ability mixing in Squeak Squad.

[@Paulunatr]

Favorite Kirby 64 power is double rock. Yeah it's not very creative, interesting, or useful in game, but giant golem Kirby was one of my first experiences of feeling enormous and invincible in games and that's still one of my favorite feelings.

[@TheOkamiT]

My favorite was... rock and cutter, I think it was? It turned you into various rock animals that couldn't take damage, the flappy bird was my favorite.

[@zekeram129]

Fun fact, those are the animal friends from the previous Dark Matter games!

[@KhanShotFirst]

Both the birds were amazing, yeah - the chickadee letting you bowl straight through enemies on level ground, and the owl gives a satisfying thwomp impression.

[@LazurBeemz]

Spike + Cutter was my favorite. I loved tbe sound effect it made to chomp enemies

[@asundayraine]

drill was a fav of mine too but there’s something really satisfying about electric rock

[@BruceBoyde]

I absolutely LOVE this game, and I am in awe of this new RNG manipulation. Also easily top 3 runs of all time for banter. #TeamTwoElephants

[@orichumo]

that is an insane rng manip, i think smash melee has something similar, maybe is a hal thing

[@Sylvianas]

I can't believe I never noticed Acro = orcA >_

[@ConGie]

Im gonna play that level twenty years from now and hear hiki niku desu.

[@daanthedoctor]

OMG AT <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1741">29:01</a> I NEVER KNEW HOW TO GET THAT ONE AS A SIX YEAR OLD IT DROVE ME CRAZY...... this run was so great it brought back so many ancient memories....

[@richardcook8401]

Drill arm was my go to

[@bryankopkin6869]

Awesome run! My favorite ability combo has always been the fire sword

[@fam3871]

Amazing run! Thanks for the show guys

[@fyrenwater]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:06</a>:00 Comedy! I especially love the reactions from the couch and the audience as a whole.

[@MeDsCP]

I loved how enthusiastic everyone on the couch was and even the host, she was super into the run! Great run!

[@Toadiferous]

I used to run 100% for this game a few years ago, the RNG manip is mind blowing! Really cool to see how far this game has come in recent years

[@ketzal3044]

No double bomb love? SAM battery Kirby was my favorite

[@DrakeFeatherwing]

I stand by my comment that K64 has the best Hyper Candy music.

[@Bobdd0]

This is such a vibrant and bizarre game! Great run!

[@sinteleon]

I still think the way Dedede throws Kirby in this game is directly referenced by how he throws the waddle dee into the elevator in Forgotten Lands.

[@witchfynder_finder]

kungfufruitcup seriously elevates every run she hosts

[@quailron1581]

Man. A full game rng manip strat is crazy.

[@imlrg9164]

My go to was always the exploding ninja stars in this game, they're so broken

[@mittensfastpaw]

Such a great run and wonderful couch energy!

[@krustykrabpizza4328]

Kirby is just the cutest thing ever

[@petfriendamy]

Love this game, love this speedrun. Congrats to Curtis for carrying manip so far in a marathon run!

[@forthefiends]

Ahh my favorite game!

[@bobjim3299]

THE MANIP 😬

[@tamamoland4247]

That one collectible that required you to bring the dynamite power through the level was the bane of my existence as a kid

[@SgtSprinkles]

Everyone loves shurikens and fireworks and fridges but let's talk about static electricity

[@The78thdude]

That run was crazy fast. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="67">1:07</a>:22 would be 4th place on the 100% leaderboards. Also my favorite was bomb/fire because you could jump higher without losing your run speed.

[@RandomPerson1313]

Fireworks are my favorite

[@Pheonix1328]

My favourite power is double electric. It just looks so cool and Kirby looks like he's having a good time lol.

[@jeffwhite1334]

One of the best N64 games and Kirby games

[@shadeblackwolf1508]

Fridge is great for casual play

[@Phantosification]

The announcer lady's voice is so dang cute

[@fam3871]

Kirby soundtrack is so good❤❤❤

[@BioYuGi]

The fact this is the only game that let you combine abilities is such a shame. Every time a new Kirby comes out, I'm hoping for the ability to make power combos again.

[@aerhelis]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1815">30:15</a> i didn't know THAT what the heck

[@Zeldarulah]

Weird that the cards aren't included in the 100%

[@LS-jj4sy]

When did people start saying honk mimimi instead of snork mimimi?? Having both snore sounds start with honk is weird and I don't like it

[@aaronmorgan5899]

1st. Looking forward to watching this ❤
