Let's Play Diddy Kong Racing: Part 15 | Wizpig, Achieving the Impossible

Wizpig FINALLY goes down after a long and agonizing conflict (longer than you can ever know)! And I did it in a way once believed impossible; without ANY speed-boosting tricks including the illustrious green boost.
Holy crap, I'm insane!

This really sounds like the "game of your life", much like SoM was for me. That definitely explains a lot about why it means so much to you. Nice job on taking Tyson in the bathroom! (Man, tell me I didn't actually just say that...)

[@KodyPupper]

The enthusiasm in your voice just makes me so happy! You did a really good job on this, I don't think I'd be able to beat the race at all without the green boosts. Hehe, nice work!!

[@AngelusCoheed]

This... This feeling... my hands are trembling.. Part 15, 34 minutes long?... This feeling.. IS OF NOSTALGIA! FROM WHEN I WAS A CHILD! +-+ THIS.. IS THE FEELING OF YOUTH!~

[@ka6Scope]

You've got conviction and I admire that :D You stuck to your goal and pulled through. Nicely done.

[@SouthHill_]

Oh man, this is certainly one of the best ArgonMatrix moments ever! Congratulations Argon, you're awesome!

[@UniversalGiant]

Bravo, Argon. You've accomplished what most of us (myself included) believed to be impossible. I'll post the video response I promised, but it's nothing compared to what you were able to do here. Here's to a much less stressful end to the LP! You've earned it!

[@ArgonMatrix]

@NintendoCapriSun Yeah you pretty much hit the nail right on the head there! It's not necessarily my favourite game of all time but it's essentially the embodiment of my childhood which is why it means so much to me.

[@DavCube]

Going in for the race scared the crap out of me as a kid. Just BAM LIGHTNING LAUGHING AND MUSIC.

[@FranklinthorpGamer]

Silly Argon, not cutting out your losses. *Shakes head and wags finger at you in 80's sitcom fashion*

[@Solanima]

Good job! I beat this game for the first time about a month or two ago, and I'm 21! I always used Conker, even as a kid.

[@FranklinthorpGamer]

Oh, I WAS THAT METROID PRIME 2 GUY! :DDDD And you forgot one detail, it's on hard mode, Dark world EATS your energy, and about 3 or so hits from ANYTHING and you're screwed! Especially if you haven't run into a save station for a while. Oh my God it's so frustrating. And some things are one-hit kills. I think the biggest issue will be the final boss, Emperor Ing. My viewers tell me that with what I'm doing, it'll have me trying for days...*Sigh* Damn. I feel honored being subtly mentioned. :]

[@100mariostar]

i love your first scream when you win the race

[@TomasTDE]

Did anyone else notice that at 30:06 the second name is J.Pegg, kinda funny. Argon, we also could have known that there is more to come because of your challenge sunday videos, you did that track for one of them that didn't appear in any of the first four worlds. Also, good job man, I've never personally been able to complete either of the medallions let alone beat wizpig.

[@markieman64]

Well done mate. I was on the edge of my seat. I really don't remember playing this game. I should try and source an N64 and play it.

[@Neranox]

Haha, congrats! I can't wait to hear your reaction when you beat Wizpig in the next world xD

[@ArgonMatrix]

@pcull44444 Yeah, same here! I wish you the best of luck when you try it; as far as I know this strategy can only be done with Tiptup but I really haven't tried any other characters in a long time so I wouldn't know.

[@TheNerdHerdNoobs]

Congrats Argon! Are you going to do a video showing the race WITH the green boosts? ^_^

[@firebreathing16]

I think that Wizpig in the DS version of this game was actually a lot easier than this, for some reason. Obviously, though, falling in the water would pretty much mean a fail, but I think that you can miss a couple of zippers and be okay. But I think either he is slowed, or the car is faster, so you can almost keep pace with him. I beat him in about 5 tries, without getting the beginning boost. I never even knew that he would kick you like that.

[@Scraggy.The.Scrapper]

I thought this was how everyone beat it

[@PerformanceV2]

Looks like a frustrating guy to beat. Obviously it was for you. I would /not/ be able to do something for hours and keep coming back to it. Looks like a crazy challenge not using the green boost thingy-mo-bobs. Especially since any mistake will ruin you. So tedious. Reminds me a lot of speedrunning, which I actually used to try on Super Mario World at one point. But that takes so much time and effort as well as tremendous skill. Well, luck, too. (I stole 'tremendous' when you said it.)

[@dustinpfarr1601]

I spent hours trying to beat Wizpig. It only took me a bunch of fails to learn about the green boost trick. I didn't even know there was a green boost.

[@DavCube]

@SuperOmega53 Thank you for not paying attention to what he's been saying for the entire LP and talking about IN THIS ACTUAL VIDEO.

[@IceBerg91259]

Remember, kids: friction is not your friend!

[@ArgonMatrix]

@lazyguy800 I think your math's a little off there. 100 years would be about 876,000 hours; 10,000 hours is just over one year.

[@cptndrpepper]

i call ganondork, ganondork too:)

[@Megalodon64]

Oh God It took me 7 years to beat this stupid swine. Wizpig always haunted me throughout those years and when i beat him i felt like if i won the lottery

[@kirbysbestfan]

after watching the first race just go to 27:42 turn down the volume there you go iv just saved you alot of time

[@pwee2892]

what a party pooper :(

[@BloodyFlame0]

I was watching a TAS and it's faster if you mash the A button instead of holding it.

[@keyransolo]

i hate this race i cant even do it with green boosts/drumstick. :( BUT I WILL DO IT!

[@TomasTDE]

@SuperOmega53 He knows that dude, if you watched his challenge sunday videos than you would realize that.

[@ThatBluePit]

Ever tried F-Zero GX story mode on very hard? I think that matches this difficulty

[@urustai]

I've never got very far in this game. I was awful at it.

[@cowscrazy]

YES YES!! Success Success .... Fuckin Did it!!! Why does the clock hand droop down...?? I BEAT WIZ PIG!!! Go tell the world!!

[@pumkinchunkin124]

27:29 You lost 90% of your man-hood right there. XD

[@Scraggy.The.Scrapper]

27:29

[@cptndrpepper]

fair? wizpig takes a cheap head start

[@DarkSvenity]

@superomega53 I take it you haven't watched the last minute of the video?

[@luigi4728]

@ArgonMatrix if your math is correct (i suck at math) then that means you have spent over 70,000 hours on wizpig alone rofl

[@buneter]

@lazyguy800 where are you getting your math

[@Messuduppotatoasia]

@IceBerg91259 Why I hate slides

[@SuperOmega53]

@DavCube im sorry i didn't hear that part, all remove that comment i made so i don't get in trouble again SORRY
