AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

[@AidenSShin]

It’s so good to see Kosmic at AGDQ again. He is super talented but so humble and chill. I love that guy’s play.

[@exinex]

Well done. Can't believe how many times that never happened before!

[@BBb-xv9cm]

Too true!

[@negate3]

Would you say its never happened that many times before?

[@CrimsonQuandary]

24:35 they were seconds apart but the little toad dance thing ended up being synced

[@BBb-xv9cm]

The competitiveness between one another is so palpable behind their smiles. Weldone to both(:

[@JeffKGaming]

I have never seen stages 9-D before, this was a trip. Nice run!

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

This is one of my favorites to watch because even after all the years of practice it's quite possible to game over and dump a run.

[@srwapo]

@20:39, Kosmic has a video explaining how these warps work. 😉

[@ChibiRuah]

that bidding war between Elden ring and sekiro was pretty hype

[@vaguesemantics]

Great run! Never thought this game would be as hard as kaizo

[@theonlymegumegu]

It feels like it's the first kaizo mario game XD

[@Bakerstreetgaming]

Kaizo is worse

[@systemthegaming]

Loved the run - some really great energy here in the crowd and on the couch!

[@crithon]

wow, that run is amazing

[@rainworldenthusiast]

Banger run.

[@mittensfastpaw]

A fun race! Nice job peeps!

[@GTAce99]

Epic

[@420boxysama]

That was a good race, I never teen all of the Lost Levels play through like that, it was back and forth for a long time and there were a few drops that were good comebacks, I don't have any money to contribute but that was a good run👍🏼

[@LoonOfNature]

Meanwhile, on Mars, an unexplained shipment of hammers arrives just in time for the gates of Hell to open.

[@avasam06]

Nice to have met you both at AGDQ! And that race was pretty tight.

[@leonardogsperin]

Yeaaahhhhh kosmic

[@samuelmitschele-dauenhauer2984]

You know, as someone who's finished lost levels a few times... are there any levels that we can agree that are actually... GOOD? Lol

[@GreyFireClover]

lmao good question

[@1JAM229]

All of them.

[@sknotNDM]

nice job, this game is a little difficult

[@Lohoris]

Wait why are the colours different in the two screens?

[@Wizzkidwas]

NES video output is actually really weird and very rarely are two video captures the same Emulators avoid this by just all picking the same interpretation method for the video signal

[@bobwont]

I think they r playing diff versions like ntsc vs pal

[@magmeskiro]

Short answer is that the NES and Famicom do not have a universal color palette, it's decided by the display. It would seem that the two runners are not playing the game on the same kind of display. One of the challenges with emulating NES games is actually just deciding what kind of palette to go with, haha.

[@VAdaPEGA]

Different models of NES display different colours, it can completely change the mood of the game depending on manufacturer and region.

[@cyorter7737]

idk maybe palette?

[@cyorter7737]

34:05 "This is one of the longest stages of the run" *beats it in less than 10 seconds*

[@dascandy]

You can tell they're playing the NTSC version because the colors are so different. Also, PAL is slower.

[@moony-shanks]

Lost levels was only released in japan on famicom so yeah it's NTSC

[@matthewgregory2106]

Yeah but European kettles boil faster 😉

[@hoffl09]

Are the pipe skips and clips intended or are they glitches?

[@teo_heel]

They're not playing Glitchless category, they're doing warpless category and what it means that you can't warp through the worlds, you can warp inside the level though.
