[@molybdenumrose]

fantastic couch. I love it when a knowledgeable couch leads the talking and leaves the runner to focus on gameplay. Leads to a better overall experience

[@jackkingsby116]

That is the best case scenario for any speedrun

[@KwijGaming]

This game sucked so hard that it's achieved longevity. Pretty impressive when you think about it

[@AveMcree]

The Nintendo 64 had a few turds. When I worked at funcoland. Superman 64 was the funniest game to recommend. We all knew it was trash but watching people play it was entertaining af!😂😂😂😂

[@broexist7134]

@@ElMarcoHoJ such bullshit though.. ET was great

[@qwallace4832]

No. Just makes you think why do people still not have a legendary Superman Video game.

[@Rpgesusgoingin]

People love Superman 64

[@vegasmagicman]

I seriously thought Superman 64 was just flying through rings.

[@glitzy5214]

Nice

[@joshuaprouty8139]

Same here😂

[@negativedumpster9778]

Honestly, I don't blame you.

[@magnusvir117]

😢 me too it was worse than that!😊

[@nickgamer2693]

I thought so. I saw AVGN play “Superman 64” in both 2008 and 2019. Hopefully, this would make him revisit the game one more time.

[@SAMagic]

Because misery loves company.

[@YOM2_UB]

It's a pretty famous bad game, to be fair.

[@orvilleredenpiller338]

That is the hypest hype couch imaginable for the single worst game ever.

[@GAMEOVER-hy6xs]

Walls in this game just seem to be more of a suggestion than something that you actually have to abide by

[@FNBYNNTND]

This is nothing. There exist games where walls are more than just suggestions - they're elevators.

[@EpicGamer-te6cm]

*cough* Metroid *cough*

[@grammaticalrouge29]

Pretty much how walls would be for the actual Superman so at least they got that right.

[@tedparsons3940]

...Oh, I see what's going on with the compass. It's pointing relative to *it's* position, not Superman's. So like, it would work perfectly fine if it were in the middle of the screen.

The arrow does indeed point in the right direction (from it's perspective)

...but I came here for an hour of rings

[@brianshaw3903]

I'm confused how she skipped them

[@dust_ee]

@@brianshaw3903 she played on easy, and there are no rings on easy

[@schwarz7670]

OMG someone actually went through the hell of running SuperMan64

[@MultiDante333]

Even worse, someone went as far as to LEARN everything in this game, then replay it multiple times to optimise the run. True AGDQ MVP here

[@Stormshine]

i was here live for this, and i rewatched it, and it's still SO GOOD. the couch and runner are all fantastic, it's a hilarious run, it's just... so good

[@about99ninjas56]

This the "the room" of video games. So damned bad it achieved its own legend.

about 99 ninjas that is so accurate

[@noxanodoano9662]

Oh...hi Mark

[@Reiderreiter]

There’s a lot of hilarious moments from this run but the pure, venomous salt from authorblues at 45:45 always makes me cackle with laughter.

[@ThaRixer]

Headstrong is heckin cool and wouldnt hurt a fly. I loved this run from the crowd point of view

When was the Megaman 64 port of MMLegends released? Legends ps1 NA was 98 iirc so...

[@mattiviljanen8109]

I'm watching this in 1080p and I really don't know why.

[@vectro4284]

Because you’re not watching it in 720p.

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

The runner is so charming and the couch was great all the way through

[@Obsidian451]

This is the first time I've ever watched Superman 64 played through in its entirety from start to finish (albeit on Easy mode), and this is the best possible way I could have seen it. Great run from Headstrong, hilarious couch, and awesome crowd! Even the donations were amazing. (also, 37:07 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen at AGDQ, that was brilliant).

[@latrodectusmactans7592]

Grab RNG I can't even

[@JasperTheFish494]

52:13 that kid's a future speedrunner, trust me

[@isaacthered]

The one thing every terrible game has in common is that you can never have too many rings.

[@jcdias6951]

Wow I bow at this greatness. I only managed 5 min before I had enough.

[@IvyLeather13]

37:04 gets me every single time. Lmao

[@mcj88]

36:37 - Y'know, if this was a better game I'd probably give the devs credit for trying to handwave technical limitations as being part of the game's plot and lore like that, but alas, here we are... :P

[@OldBuford]

i was kind of annoyed with the commentary at first but i think thats because its so different from the usual banter, i ended up cry laughing through a lot of it as it went on, great work by everyone on this one, you made me enjoy superman64!

[@dereklarner6298]

Zap Actionsdower Wish I could agree with you; it grated on me increasingly as the video went on.

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

One of the few games where you actually have to speedrun to beat it.

[@deardeer1469]

this and sonic 06 come to mind

[@juneglave5014]

This is the kind of quality I've come to expect from GDQ. I love it!

[@Cbb88dragonborn]

Awesome run! I've heard the horror stories but this really was a crazy game, as for the runner she did great!

[@waffleweave]

Yes she did. Such a horrifying game.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

The compass was on point. It pointed directly at the Superman logo. It isn't pointing relative to your characters location on the screen, it's pointing relative to its own location on the screen. If the compass points at the logo than it is in that direction relative to the position of the compass.

[@katzenfett9444]

The real achievement is not just the speed, but the fact, that someone actually finished this game. I was honestly surprised that they even cared to implement more than two levels …

[@kerplop]

In the immortal words of the dark shadows: "AWK!"

[@florbz5821]

This game is a meme in itself! So glad it's being run!

[@fugazicoverband]

Great run, great couch. Thank you!

[@Roobitz]

This run was awesome!! Great couch too.

[@Zszeldaspeedrunner-xo5th]

[@testingattthing]

Difficulty modes with rings really add an hour to a speedrun of this? That's impressive. I wonder if there's any skips for them.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

There is, first you choose Easy difficulty on the main menu and then you play the game. Tadah you skipped them!

[@generfeld]

great playing, and respect for figuring out all the clips and shortcuts and glitches. the flying parts has a certain old school end of middle school nostalgia with the blocky 3D polygons

[@MrJechgo]

Y'know, this is something I will never get: Superman never got a decent game aside from the Lego games and the Injustice games.

[@Krokodilius]

I remembering hearing 3-4 years ago that a montreal studio was working on one a lot like the arkham series but...never a peep since.

[@riikkatheiceprincess_she_h8725]

40:30 Can we get a round of applause for the sub-heroes who keep things like those shards of glass from ruining people below? What do you mean "there aren't any?" Then who does it?! ...Oh. Whoops.

[@awryawree]

her smile is so cute!!!!! this was such a fun run to watch too

[@allydrawsthings]

im at 35:30 which is about 29 more minutes than i ever put into this game. props headstrong! how does someone even decide they wanna be really really good at this piece of shit game???

[@Forever_Zero]

In this video we can truly appreciate how stupidly unplayable is this garbage game

[@nobetternickname]

quality run! good to see s64 finally make it to agdq. enjoyed the little jab at protonjon not finishing his playthrough series XD ouch

[@spiderjerusalem100]

There's some actual good games which are mostly forgotten now but this game is so shitty it will be remembered forever.

[@richardjoyce2764]

Headstrong looked timid during this run, it was hella cute! She did a wonderful job!

[@shadow112798]

Was this really world record?! if thats the case then NICE

[@nogidoki3325]

The more awful and broken the game is the less speedrunners want to try that and this one is................Calling it broken is a compliment.

[@XaneMyers]

37:10 Isn't this supposed to be a *speed* run? Ah, there we go.

[@kuwaiikurama]

Good quality entertainment, hard glitchy af game, and a solid run! Yet, all some judgemental people can concentrate on is the runner. Bet she would kick your ass at many games! Well done Headstrong!!!

[@Gearz86]

i like how this game is a joke even in the speed run community lol

[@afrothekobold]

woo WR

[@doifhg]

What a god tier game, why aren't more superman 64s out there

[@Torthrodhel]

That game is so amazingly badly put together. Very hilarious! :D

[@insertnamehere5452]

Thanks Punchi for recommending this gem lmao

[@EGarrett01]

37:28 Remember while you watch this, this is the speedrun. This is OPTIMAL play for this game.

[@kelleymariekw]

I was waiting for you Superman

[@Empress_Theresa]

Hard to believe this was an actual game that you could go to the store and buy full price. Unbelievable!

[@snowyicicle1335]

Glad someone ran this beautiful game

[@ksborg]

That glitch at 35:07 though. It just looks brilliant.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

I can't believe someone actually took the time to master this game. I played it back in the day, I handled it for like 15 minutes and returned it to Blockbuster immediately (thankfully I didn't buy it!) and swore to never play it again.

[@wierdtromebonekid]

Awww no rings

[@XaneMyers]

I'm glad to see the infamous rings can be skipped! Any video I watched of this game years ago implied you had to go through them.

[@darkspin3000]

Xane Myers well the reason was because it was a hidden easy mode to this game, which was kept hidden till a LPer decided to give this information about this mode out to the public, during one of his episodes of superman 64.

32:59 Superdab

[@brianisaac1804]

Spikes commentary is funny as hell.

[@_NoDrinkTheBleach]

Fantastic.

[@stephenfiler3204]

I am extremely disappointed that we didn't get any rings.

[@neoqwerty]

FWOOOSHHHH!

[@monotonedmika17]

was disappointed when they said there were no ring segments, but still good run nonetheless.

[@MrFathead]

Me too that is a big part of the game.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

There was 1 Ring segment, involving exactly 1 Ring.

[@gordonbman2911]

Can you play the Game on 100% game display ?? how much will the lag be LUL Also, i need a "Superman 64 Run with the doubled drunk winning camera any% " in 2019 Jebaited

[@emporbooty]

There is a TAS of this game that keeps the rings active in the flying segments. I have never been able to watch it in its entirety because I always end up falling asleep

[@compaqdeskpro5770]

It's Anhem's predecessor

[@MarcusSparchs]

Brava! Excellent run! I could not even bear to PLAY this game for 36 minutes, let alone FINISH it. Amazing to see the rings in the end.

[@soraboy93]

I just wanted Protonjon memes from the comment sections

[@Thisisaweirdthing2makeusdo]

This run was very funny. 😍

[@Cosmic76Guardian]

37:07 I wasn't expecting that! 🤣

[@EmeraldLavigne]

It's shocking to me that people have beaten this twice in a row to discover the camera glitch...

[@Teddeck]

Superman! Faster than a speeding... camera?

[@zule10000]

Isn't Darkseid pronounced "Dark Side" and not "Dark Seed"? Or do I have a misconception?

[@Okusar]

Yeah, it's supposed to be pronounced like "dark side", unless the last 30 years worth of DC animation have all said it wrong.

[@makingnoises2327]

headstrong is great, i love her!

[@sloxman8937]

Now they need a super drunk run of this game
