Iggy's Reckin' Balls Speedrun

[@JETZcorp]

Oh it's so refreshing to see this game played well. When I was a kid my mom and I both got pretty blindingly fast in this game, and this is the first time I've seen gameplay on that caliber. I know zero other people who had or even heard of this game, but it was excellent. When I used to bring it to play at daycare, no one could even compete because it was so weird and hard to learn.

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

Yeah man it's a great game. It's very fast paced on the speedrun scale too lol

[@andrewsimpson4134]

I never played it, but just randomly remembered how I saw an ad for it in a Nintendo Power magazine or something. First time for me to see the gameplay lol

[@BigPunchGuy]

I used to play this all the time and wanted to speed run it back in the day. Nice run btw

[@BigPunchGuy]

Also idk if you know this, but you can use a boost right when going through the checkered flag platform to hit it faster. It might not be much, but it'll help make a run shorter little by little

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

Thank you my good viewer. I'm planning on doing more runs soon. Not sure when however. I also do wanna do other worlds as well. These will be on my N64 rather than an emulator though, so no more audio/video desync!

[@BigPunchGuy]

Right on. I have some other things I can add too if you are interested. Just strats that I've come up with

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

@@BigPunchGuy I found some skips here and there since my most recent run. Stay tuned for it tbh 👀 if you got some strats or tips, then you should definitely lemme know on that run

[@vanityqueen4208]

It's sped up hella .

[@lcj1225]

Never knew that Charlie was the fastest

[@eviltwin6830]

Im gonna run this. Please tell me how you emulated this shit without it crashing a few towers in... If not ill have to wait for an n64 lol

[@CalebJonas-i6q]

Nso (nintendo switch online) expansion has an n64 emulator with no desync

[@nukestatic4951]

Got mines at blockbuster back then

[@Tracks777]

Fantastic video! Keep it up!

[@Tracks777]

Awesome video,Keep it up!

[@LawrencewithaU]

A few optimizations here and there... You think you could get sub 9-minute?

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

I'm sitting in second rn with a 7:14 where WR is like 6:55

[@daisuke4bleach]

Hey how come you're using charlie? He was always my favorite. I did hear that he might be the fastest

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

In terms of speed, it's definitely Izzy. Charlie is my favorite however. I tested a run with him a couple weeks ago and I got a few seconds faster than WR for Medium difficulty. Also Charlie is the fastest on coasters

[@daisuke4bleach]

@@thepinkstrategist1023 well I watched a speed test that showed charlie is the fastest. Somebody tested the speed of each character. Agreed. Charlie is a cool concept.

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

@@daisuke4bleach Oh hey that's dope. Speed as in walking or boosting? I know Izzy is just unbeatable in her grappling, which is pretty big

hi dad

[@erikj1810]

Nice ♡

[@rickmartinez3268]

Looks kind of easy

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

With new strats implemented and stuff, it's pretty precise now, definitely really hard on some of the other worlds

so kewl

[@RazorBladezX]

Dear lord nice run. Also did I dream that there was a banjo kazooie unlock in the game?

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

Yea lmao. Be pretty cool though. My dream is a remake for switch or on n64 classic

[@RazorBladezX]

@@thepinkstrategist1023 Ahh must've been, I remember for some reason Kazooie using her neck to grapple up and Banjo being the ball. Dude on the switch or 3ds would be hella amazing.

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

@@RazorBladezX Mainly I'd prefer on an N64 Classic so I can have my N64 controller and be able to actually record in higher quality with my HDMI recorder. Can't wait for a drop.

It's sped up

[@captaingigglez1605]

Really 1 try and you got the WR? That's pretty insane, not many people run this then? I remember playing as well when I was a kid. Not to be disrespectful but I think I could've beat your WR back then :P. Probably not anymore though with this tired old fingers

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

I mean it's a pre simple run. Yeah not many run this. I was only able to get it because I've literally been playing since I was two lmao. It's just based off my years of experience. Nothing much else. Didn't pull off strats in this one compared to my sub 9 one.

[@captaingigglez1605]

@@thepinkstrategist1023 Still, very nice! Used to love this game a lot.

[@vanityqueen4208]

It's sped up . Nah no wr

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

It's actually on emulator so it's kinda choppy, which is why it's not recommended for runs. This was also during the time I didn't have a recording device, so I had to use screen record on my laptop.

[@JETZcorp]

Doesn't look sped up to me. This game got pretty frantic paced once you figured out how to do it.

[@KittenPunter69]

you ever think about starting an iggy's reckin balls speedrun community? i'd be down to join

[@thepinkstrategist1023]

KittenPunter It'd be dope to do that ngl. Community is small af and could use it
