The skips are cool but dang when he's racing "normally" is the most impressive. I'd say next gdq should have two of these top runners competing in two-player mode

[@MeesterTweester]

Abney won a 4 player mode tournament I think

[@gasasmk]

Abney vs MR, no skips, that would make my day

[@Hackklops]

​@Boco Corwin the cups can only be played by two players

[@dtothee8730]

I like the normal runs better. The bug using shortcuts aren't very interesting to watch although I respect the effort and understand why people like it.

[@mla96]

I second this!

[@Zeikfred]

thx SummoningSalt, for showing us Abney

[@ir0n392]

Yes I love SummoningSalts videos. He’s the one who got me interested in speed running. Even if it’s a game I don’t know he makes it interesting!

[@ZombieBatmanJesus]

Honestly, I appreciate it so much when things go wrong in a run during marathons and the runners just go with it instead of being like "uhhh what is happening". Good runner, good couch, fun watch!

[@Fs3i]

And honestly, the result is great. The time would net him a Top 10 in this category, and beat every single one of the couch members. That's talent! He is so good at the game that most people who attempted this game can't beat a marathon run of him with bad RNG.

[@dontbanmerage416]

Holy shit the vid started with the run it’s a miracle!!!

[@XXANDERALEXX]

Since the last GDQ the runs usually start in the first 20 seconds of the video

[@MarkofWisdom]

you guys are doing a much better job of giving details of who is doing what, and summaries of timestamps that are useful. Well done

[@radiosurgery1802]

Also the last couple of vod sets have been much better edited to where there isn't 10 minutes of dead air. Nice job by whoever is responsible for these vods

[@wingedmirage4226]

Bad RNG: The Speedrun

[@Professional-Idi0t]

Pretty much.

[@blackneos940]

DON'T YOU DIS-RA-SPEKT RNGESUS!!..... >:(

[@33LB]

he didnt pray to RNGesus

[@Davidpoland2005]

bad rng: getting legendaries in pvzgw2 but legendary hats and from wonderful, no super rare, cuz i got that rng

[@cocomunga]

This is my favorite Mario Kart game. The physics are just awesome.

[@cathallynch8269]

I actually gain respect for the runners when things go wrong as it shows just how hard it can be to execute and how luck plays a role.

[@freddy007____9]

Time ends when I cross the finish line... time stopper you had one job lol

[@Eleechee]

A banana is a static image, it covers a moving image which needs to update with the frame rate, so that could be why it reduces lag, but still strange concept!

[@DanCicala]

I wonder if dragging the banana reduces lag because it doesn't do the animation for the exhaust, which is probably harder to render than the static banana animation.

[@shardofkingdoms9816]

Dan Cicala interesting point

[@drgreenthumb7081]

Thats... actually an interesting question

[@blueberryblues5644]

Dan Cicala This is a brilliant thing to search for.

[@DickWad16]

I, too, would like to know.

[@chaddrusso8850]

23:15 for your answer at least for the point screen! So I’m assuming they have to know if it reduces lag while driving, which my guess is no since he drops bananas a lot during this run!

[@Jira-hi]

But did he do 3 weathertankos on choco mountain

[@ericzubyk2329]

He did in time trials back in 2017.

[@secretname3897]

Watch Summoning Salt' video on it if you haven't already!! I was rewatching it just moments ago and saw this GDQ in the recommended list underneath.

[@RobHerma91]

Amazing run. Always great to see all the shortcuts and tricks. Nice commentary. Keep on going👍

[@paololololol]

The couch team really made this awesome, the runner was great!

[@ChairmanMeow1]

I remember when this first came out I finished this in like an hour and I thought I was the best player ever.

[@KNJfan]

:D So happy to see Abney on GDQ :3

[@iiNFerNooXx]

Abney and weatherton this two legends in one session still in 2019. This is entertainment!

[@kayamoosic]

2 legends in one agdq run! This is amazing (I'm talking Abney and Weatherton).

[@iiNFerNooXx]

Thought the same!

[@MrAbadon90]

this is the first time i watch Mario Kart 64 speedrun and i have to say it's awesome!

[@cr8zykungpow]

Damn, the legend himself. Cool!

[@electromagneticlemon]

8:18 “in china they call it the IQ cup” “of course!” ...lmao

[@STJrArmonte]

electromagneticlemon it's iQue, the Chinese version of the N64 and it's how Nintendo released the N64 in China getting around the then game console ban

[@peckenhamm123]

Nice to see a Mario Kart speed run where there are actual skips and tricks being performed instead of somebody just playing Mario Kart like the past few years

[@cinnamongentlemen8109]

Does anybody else still use the turbo drifting technique from this game in every single Mario Kart released afterwards? I only recently learned that I don't have to mash the control stick back and fourth for power sliding in Mario Kart Deluxe. :(

[@MeesterTweester]

CinnamonGentlemen What turbo drifting, like 45 degree drifting? I wiggle the stick back and forth

[@RingTeam]

The first Mario Kart where you don't have to mash your stick to drift was Mario Wart Wii, I guess they made that decision because Nintendo wanted a more accessible game, or probably because they knew about the snaking technique from Mario Kart DS.

[@geoffrioinns]

Wait what? You don't have to go back and forth? Is the turbo based on distance slid?

[@baalsaak]

CinnamonGentlemen Lol. Same here.

[@uberlord983]

Have you ever seen a speedrun of Double Dash? You'll hear the controller from a mile away.

[@ProfessorVitale]

Its crazy. Because just a couple months ago I also hopped on the second jump at Wario Raceway. I had the exact same reaction. lol

[@aketsuuu]

Before even watching, I see Abney's name and I know destruction is abound. *When are ya gonna hit another trip weathertenko on Choco Mountain by the way?*

[@QuietSandshrew]

That was an amazing run! Hopefully we get to see Dragonball Kart 64 runs too!!

[@randomcommenter7343]

I'm more of an MK Wii person myself, but great to see a speedrun of this!!

[@laggianput]

Holy jesus the cpus are relentless. They're still keeping up with him

[@blackneos940]

I don't have nostalgia goggles, but I was born in 1991, and Mario Kart 64 is one of my fave Mario Kart games, next to Mario Kart 7..... :D

[@PlushiePoogle]

Same-birth-year-high-five! xD I still play MK64 with my mom pretty often ♥

[@Chadmiral]

MK64,MK7,and MKDS are all my favorites!

[@ericzubyk2329]

Yeah congrats on the sub 30 minute run and I'll see you in VA this summer. And yes you too Weatherton.

[@uberlord983]

Is it weird that Banshee Boardwalk is one of my favorite Mario Kart courses? Both the original & the MKDS remake.

[@quantumhornet211]

Abneys a legend

[@spaceonisorceress4406]

Always nice to see the god of Mario Kart 64 in action.

[@1976Dogan]

8:43 Favourite Mario character named "La Key Two"

[@natedawg00v.15]

I'm watching this in 2019 and my Nintendo 64 still works

[@jdgjuggernaut]

who's this hattok guy? is he a professional speedrunner?

[@rna5118]

*before watching the run* I see abney is there, maybe a legendary Choco mountain time is in store? Edit: oh he didn't make it damn

[@Turrrtle]

29:37 Ness loves speedruns apparently

[@Korhanne]

hey, give the dude the trophy at the end, camera man. he deserves something for the run.

[@HammerBroProductions]

When its zoomed out wouldnt it perform better due to smaller renders of objects? thats all i could think of

[@connorsweeten2953]

*I lost the run to RNG, dude!*

[@TheAdryanChannel]

Imagine if this agdq they have done a race between 4 speedrunners on this game? that would be awesome

[@BentoAUS]

I didn’t know 200 cc was originally in Mario Kart 64.

[@ubernaffa]

9:41 Perfect Cleveland laugh.

[@michael92872]

When he crossed the finish line on rr the time didnt stop until 1 second later so the time is technically 29:14

[@Pizner]

He's far above other runers

[@Brian_Tabor]

23:13 I wonder if they lower the quality of the model if it's a certain distance from the camera. Like they did with Mario's model in Mario 64.

[@AdamSmithNES]

rise up gamesters

[@Arcryoshi]

Bad RNG rules

[@fearstreak7462]

lmao "always DK" - just came here from Summoning Salt's vid and he there was a clip of him getting rammed there too

[@mrmartinLgore]

35:07 is that CarlSagan42 making a cameo apperance here?

[@Cyrus_got_verified]

Quick question:why does speesruners always use yoshi,but not other characters?

[@Capitainnpop]

28:53 poor Peach :D

[@romanwilson5932]

Yoshi Commits Racing Fraud

[@Yoshiling]

Commander Keen in the audience. Awesome.

[@littlecj3681]

Loved it

[@Mantosasto]

Imagine being one of the npc racers and seeing that damn Yoshi breaking everything. Must be so infuriating lol

[@noisepollution4473]

Gotta watch an Abney GDQ run

[@animeking1357]

This a japanese cartridge? Why is there still so much english?

[@yuries19]

Mostly romaji letters and English. For example, the cups are written in romaji, like Kinoko Cup being the Mushroom Cup.

[@cuddlycard9059]

Awesome!

[@BruhMoment-vw2lo]

tfw you want to stay up late and watch gdq but it's midterms week

[@dj394]

This was dope!

[@apostleow]

Damn that RNG on the final itembox was brutal

[@Eric-yt7fp]

I fucking knew Yoshi was the best.

[@liviadarling8577]

Awesome

[@Jayjaytube518]

"La-keet-uu-".

[@secretname3897]

@@j_0anna correct; Ki is pronounced with a long i like Keep, not short i like Kick.

why does the japanese version have some english text?

[@coolname8133]

Here i am.

[@TheMA5B]

19:42 No this is not a millisecond it is 10 milliseconds! I believe a lot of people don't actually know what millisecond means, for them it's just something smaller than a second...Nevertheless, very consistent runner :)

[@TheMA5B]

26:54 WOW these times are crazy consistent!

[@Zalis116]

I thought the same thing; "centisecond" (hundredths of a second) is the term they're looking for.

[@DrakePitts]

I came here with the intention of expressing a similar sentiment.

[@k-leb4671]

Jesus Christ, 150cc in this game looks like 200cc.

[@jekanyika]

Every video in my recommended list from the last video i was watching was from GDQ, even though that video had nothing to do with speed running.

[@riahlexington]

Wow I love this’

LUHKEETOO??

[@TheTraderStan]

RIGHT?!?

[@ryanstaunton3837]

all I can hear driving me nuts

[@secretname3897]

That's closer to how the Japanese syllables are pronounced. Ki like Keep, not like Kick!

[@mirrorsandstuff]

Yoshi, pay your taxes.

[@TheMA5B]

20:00 funny that Bowser's castle is Koopa castle in Japanese

[@remypaak424]

Think he is called King Koopa in Japanse

[@hi-i-am-atan]

Well, yeah, his name is Koopa in Japanese. The Koopa Troop is just named the Kame-ichizoku, or Turtle Tribe, in the original Japanese, with Koopa Troopas themselves being name Nokonoko. The English translation of SMB1 changed all this for whatever reason - likely because Bowser sounds a lot more threatening than Koopa, and naming his army of Koopa Troopas the Koopa Troop is a lot slicker than just trying to use their original names in English - and it's just stuck forever.

On the moomoo track the CPU did 1:14, unbelivable! are they cheating?

*29:14

[@doublevision2943]

damn even in this 20+ year old game there's rubberband. I really wish there was a way to turn it off (at least in for fun races) just so there would be more Competition between the AI in each race. It's always the same 2 on top and the same 2-4 on the last few ranks, at least in the Mario Karts I've played. I generally dislike Rubberband and I understand why it's a thing but that doesn't Change my opinion about it. lol.
