[@Mental_Health_Matters]

[@duncanallaire2392]

This is one of the coolest speed-runs I've ever seen! And a neat game I've never heard of. Thanks to all the runners, and AGDQ staff for putting this on every year!

[@SikeiOK]

This game looks so sick when done right.

[@Greennoob2]

I didn’t hear them say what the points were important for so i couldn’t understand the run. Is anyone able to explain the importance of the points to me?

[@Adderflail]

It determines what items spawn (not sure on the details)

[@donacdum]

Probably one of my favorite NES games, a true hidden gem. Very impressive game for its time

[@AJCham]

Hidden gem was the exact phrase that came to my mind. I've never heard of this game before, but based on what I see here I reckon it'd have been right up my street as a kid.

[@DanoLefourbe]

The sprite, the animation, the use of colors are really impressive for a famicom game, indeed. Might be one of the most beautiful games on the system.

[@ETYPEJaguar38]

Also the sound. If I remember correctly, Sunsoft and their sound team was featured in Red Bull's documentary on Japanese NES game music.

[@MarlonMacielBrando]

I'll say. Never played it and it looks super fun. Also, super brutal.

[@NeoArcadiaSWGAT]

Always outstanding to watch Aquas speedrunning this NES gem. Tricks in this one are so impressive.

[@forestman416]

You can buy this game for 500€ in Finland

[@Neceros]

One of the best video overlays yet, GDQ

[@Laki2]

Megaman + Kirby + SMB2.

[@TerrorOfTalos]

Lakitu released before Kirby's Dreamland though

[@RobertSzasz]

Isn't it more dynamite heady/kid kool

[@mollz3704]

Why is the couch so far back?

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

Mollz Mystery I guess so the player can concentrate

[@christop3]

That lady smiled more in this one run than I have in the past 5 years. Great run btw.

Authentic Entertainment

[@DrGandW]

Amazing thumbnail tbh

[@DenDhur]

Favourite NES game from my childhood

[@loffan]

Ayy, a fellow Gimmick player! Such a shame it was only released in Japan and Scandinavia.

[@Tustin2121]

I just now realized, due to the announcer’s pronunciation, that The Yetee is a pun on Yeti and Tee shirt...

[@UltimatePerfection]

Box2d for the NES ;)

[@norwis120]

insane big wiz
