I've NEVER Played a Level Like This Before!!

[@thatGillessGamer]

"Some people just get level design." This statement could not be more true for this creator. This is now one of my favorite MM2 videos; please play more of this guy's levels, DGR!

[@mike1024.]

Seconded! Much better than "?-? but..." levels!

[@Southernguy41]

Yeah, like he hasn’t said that a billion times already or anything. 🙄

[@cat_clan_leader]

​@@Southernguy41what a bright ray of sunshine you must be

[@courtneythornton1003]

Please just play them ALL!!!

[@RadicalReactions99]

Thanks so much for playing my levels Dave! This was a fun watch :D

[@TheKingOfDominoes]

Wait no way guys look it's the guy

[@lektormedia]

​@@TheKingOfDominoes Haha, I thought RadicalR was replying to his own comment as a joke here. Not just because your user pics are so similar at first glance, but because that's something he would do. @RadicalReactions99 Great stuff, glad you've become part of the MMC family.

Dave shouting "ride the bone" on Valentines Day. Is great

[@ah5836]

The wigglers provided safe and secure transport for Dave, then once the star is acquired Dave immediately kills them all...

[@Lulu_Lime]

Like the fable of the scorpion and the frog. Dave caused his own downfall by failing to overcome his vicious nature... Very poetic.

[@lilarrin1220]

This and when he failed to jump in the sun level shows that he's a bit slow in understanding context clues (if puzzle levels haven't proven it already) Still hilarious though

[@ah5836]

@@lilarrin1220 He is a heck of a lot better at this game than I am, that is for sure, nothing I can criticize. I just laughed at the immediate urge to kill everything even though was unnecessary with that star =D Nothing further.

[@Pawtacle]

24:10 I think you *did* actually fall off - you were close enough to the appearing block that it counted you as standing on it (so it made you let go of the vine) (at least that's my theory, of course not 100% sure on this lol)

[@saraross8396]

"How can I learn to love A Link to the Past?" Think of it as Ocarina of Time, or rather the game that laid the foundation for it. The two games are very similar. Three pendants/spiritual stones to find, after which you get the Master Sword (which can be upgraded). Seven maidens/sages to rescue. Many items are the same. Zelda's theme/lullaby made its debut in this game along with Kakariko Village and its theme, as well as many other familiar things. You can defeat Agahnim with the bug net like you can beat Ganondorf with a bottle. There are so many similarities that I can't list them all, but as a last one that I will mention, Cuccos appear for the first time, and yes, you can pester them. In some ways, it is definitely more difficult than Ocarina of Time (the Ice Palace can be a nightmare), but it is an excellent challenge. I hope you complete it one day. On the plus side, many of the dungeons can be done in any order you choose. When in the Dark World, I like to do 1 (has to be done first as the rest are inaccessible otherwise), then 4 because it has the item you need to get the first Master Sword upgrade. Sure, it's a bit inconvenient skipping the hookshot in 2, but I'd rather have increased damage to deal.

[@6O8gamer07]

LTTP is so good. OOT is literally just a 3D remake of that game but with less ability to choose the dungeon order. Although I do like doing the Fire Temple first just to mix it up. Tbf though I think Majora’s Mask is by far the better of the two N64 games 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MisterVercetti]

15:57 Maximum Dingus Mode has been reached.

[@DJDroz-gh5nt]

That last level was cool, all of them were actually, good job getting through most of it without dieing Dave. Especially considering how hard you find timing based gimmicks.

[@heartyxpunk]

Dieing lol

[@seanwilkinson7431]

That moment when the content is so good you like the video immediately, and then you feel like a dingus because every time something cool happens, you go to like the video and see that you liked it already.

There‘s a Fire … sale! 😂 Arrested Development, best Sitcom ever!

[@benmuise]

I love his miscellaneous references to Arrested Development. Baby, we got a stew going!

[@BlackMaleLion]

@@benmuiseIs that another Arrested Development reference? I’ve never watched it, so I don’t know when DGR is making a reference to the show.

"how can I love a link to the past"? by playing it dave

[@mike1024.]

But play the NES Zeldas first to make him appreciate it all the more. :-P

[@MidnightWonko]

As someone who loves Link to the Past, let me tell you: you either love it, or you don't. And whatever you are? That's PERFECTLY fine! Just please don't try to force yourself to love something you hate just because I love it. GOOD content is born from honest, legit love! You do you, DGR!

[@PurrtyCatsy]

The 15yo that created these levels is going places.... places my almost 40yo self has never been 😥

[@expiredmilk5435]

Younger people tend to have more creative minds

[@TheKingOfDominoes]

I can't express how happy I am to see this vod turned a video :D I know the guy who made this personally, and we talk and play this game together all the time! Super happy that he's getting some recognition!

[@RadicalReactions99]

Hey I recognize you

[@arrenmund8732]

How do you love alttp? First step: have a soul, second step: play it. Seriously though, it's like SMW. If you grew up with it, you see the masterpiece. If you first play it today, it's a game.

[@Artemis_F0wl]

RadicalR? Radical Redemption? 😎😎😎🕺🏼✊✊✊❤️‍🔥🎉🎶🔊🎊🔥🔥🔥

[@AppalachianCatholicPoet]

Wait, RadicalR is only 15 and he's making these types of quality levels? That's wild. 24:16 Yeah, you let go of the vine and was standing on the block and the block turned off.

[@thericeknight]

Love the level designs. Most unique one from all that I've watch from your channel.

[@KevinGarcia-Karatzu]

11:29 "Owww" somehow reminded me of Toad . Exe at the beginning when all you hear is the devil himself saying in 87 different instant of voices "owww, owww, owww, owww, owwww..."

[@ВиталийБойков-в3т]

This your playing was very interesting and pleasant to see (for me at least). And even you couldn't one shot most of those levels thx for showing them to me 'cause I totally agree with you at the idea that those levels' design was great. And I also loved your playing these levels very much. Thanks a lot to you for this playing!!!👍👍👍

[@MrRick-bq2xx]

The first level you did you made it look so easy I have to try it I'm probably going to lose my temperance in 5 seconds😂

[@Vaishino]

If you really want to get into a link to the past, I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the base game, then trying the randomizer. It's a different knot for you to untie every time!

[@simondubois533]

Unfortunate sun is so good

[@Yumi_Jay]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought "the sun is a deadly lazer"

[@Minwolf]

You did fall off the vine because you were a little to far down and when the on/off switch swapped it registered toadette as standing on the on/off block.

[@payumayu]

Nobody "just gets level design". It's work. HARD WORK. Levels like these take weeks to make, if not months and are based on skill that is acquired over years. It's a rough process of making, deleting, experimenting, testing, getting brutally beaten down by negative feedback and then start all over again. To say that some people just have a gift is an insult to their hard work. It's the same as when people say "You're so talented at drawing, I could never do that" when they actually spent years of daily practice to acquire that skill. You're not unable to do something because you lack "the gift" or "the talent", you are just too lazy to learn it. Sorry for being slightly negative but stuff like this triggers me to no end.

[@clcallag]

While I do believe some innate talent is necessary to be great at any endeavor, I absolutely agree about the willingness to put in the work being an enormous aspect as well. Stephen Sondheim has my favorite quote on the subject: “What I've found out and what I believed is that everybody is talented. It's just that some people get it developed and some don't.”

[@BigDavetheMiddleAgeGamer]

I have never seen levels like these. WOW!!!

[@6O8gamer07]

Wait. You don’t like Link to the Past? What kind of monster are you? It’s so dang good.

"How am I not dead here? What am I standing on?" Somehow he only thought to question it at the very end of the level - but never once during the multitude of times he had been doing the same exact thing throughout the level.

[@CookingKoopa]

RadicalR is just like Frank88 in my opinion

[@ImInWITPRO]

If DGR was a pirate he would be called DGARRRR

[@mike1024.]

That was so bad and so good at the same time.

[@Bimon1234567]

The formula!

[@ELIASKball]

Why did you use the grabbing sprite for Mario? He doesn't have anything in the hands.

[@jonhmd105]

the brain is a muscle DGR. if it hurts is because you are using it in a way he is not used to it. You can overcome this by exercising your brain more often, just like any other muscle.

[@phosphorus4]

…Except in this case I think it’s just hard on the eyes…though the eyes have muscles 😛

hey dave, could you try to speedrun my favorite mario game, 3D LAND in a stream sometime? if you've already done it, that's cool, I'm just curious.

If “has a timer” is your only criterion for “speedrun”, he has 🤪 There was also a “punishment" deadline; it was part of the MarioThon
