Enchantress: "How goes our grand game, Specter Knight?" Specter Knight: "A contender somehow already beat the 3 Joustus Judges, and is headed here now." King Knight: "Hey guys, who are we talking about?" Specter Knight: "Wait how the fu"

*WHEEEEEEEEEEZE!*

King Knight’s mom: “Be back before dinner”

[@Idrante_dacqua]

That's not how royalty works But I get the joke

[@lucifer3121]

King Knight: But mom, I'm King, not a child

[@burp3267]

The king:

[@deadakus]

I deadass looked away to get a few pringles out of the can and the trouple king was deaded

[@okieyoshimd9817]

Myself: "Dang, the Troupple King is difficult for me." TASbot: *laughs at my human limitations*

[@NeonWasInUse]

I think the funniest part is it <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="618">10:18</a> where king knight just says "Gravity? Never heard of 'em" and just flies over a massive chasm with nothing but a silver plating of armor and a good luck charm

[@RaiyanAlphaRanger]

Bruh, this is where King Knight rips off Plague Knight's entire playbook!

[@RaiyanAlphaRanger]

Plague Knight: And this is how you do a burst, my friends... King Knight: (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="618">10:18</a>) HOLD MAH BEER!

[@blackdot105]

Definitely the most fun campaign. Worth the 2+ year wait.

[@darknessdevours5827]

Imo Specter Knight is MUCH more fun. Plus the final boss of King of Cards is the literal definition of cancer aids, so...

[@blackdot105]

@@darknessdevours5827 It was pretty easy for me.

[@pillowmint4622]

agreed! I wish there were more normal levels that aren't the challenges you find on the main menu...

[@JetSetDman]

bard getting left behind as they took off for the glidewing fucking killed me lmfao

[@cobaltordinaire5219]

*and now, welcome back to the wario land speedrun*

[@x2buller47]

I was waiting for this. And I'm so happy to see it.

[@RedPandaTables]

Amazing run, never knew you can go so fast to outright leave the musical guy behind. Also love the boat part.

[@SansTheSkeIeton]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1583">26:23</a> king knight: *LONG LIVE THE KING*

[@brendanfields3691]

The amount of work and effort that went into this plus that captions you added to explain everything just show how awsome you are thanks man you deserve way more subs and views I hope they come keep up the great work

[@soninh4357]

My favorite part when watch your videos is seeing you messing around on the "autoscroller part"

[@Lunar_Atronach]

Honestly I've just been fucking with the curios for this game, finding weird speed strategies with em and this is a very fun thing to watch under the context of trying to find some speed strats

[@blobman503]

I assume king knight is rushing because the joustus competition ends tomorrow.

[@phorchybug3286]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="735">12:15</a> Are you mental?! Thats scary! My heart!

[@pixelator5312]

so, all of the tas thumbnails are explodatorium except for specter of torment hmm

[@fredsoaless1736]

Très belle run, merci pour le partage !

[@paolo2763]

You ever watch these and say to yourself: "damn... I really should have used that item a little more"?

[@apollyon6855]

me with the phase locket

[@NotCon]

@@apollyon6855 Phase Locket makes the game unenjoyable imo, glad I didn't use it on my first playthrough.

[@darknessdevours5827]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but the roll is actually useful, good to know.

[@Tolboox]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="619">10:19</a> is THE clip!

[@tuckerledford9400]

He just exits the game and starts it again. Quickly. Full Honesty: I'm pretty sure this could have been a 100% run the way he collects medals.

[@NotCon]

100% requires playing Joustus. :P

[@MetaFlowey]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="254">4:14</a> bard didn't made in time,but he teleported to the ship

[@hahaalexasendthistorodrick]

Mom:"Come back in time for dinner I'm making Dino nugies"

[@briceschiele6955]

This is literally the world record 😲 amazing job!

[@theepicebin5509]

I mean its a TAS so you can’t compare it to actual runs, as they used additional software to have a robot run the game perfectly

[@briceschiele6955]

I was stupid back then 🤦‍♂️

[@MrTrippleAAA]

Incredible! How long did this take you? Also, do you ever plan on doing NG+ runs? I'd love to see you make a Specter Knight one. :D

[@KilayeFr]

It didn't take very long actually, about three weeks. And I'm probably done with this game.

[@MrTrippleAAA]

@@KilayeFr Only a week, huh? Well even if this didn't take super long to make, you did a great job on it. And fair enough man, I understand. Love your TAS runs regardless, I'm sure whatever game you TAS next will be entertaining. Excellent work on this and the other SK campaigns. They're really fun to watch in my spare time.

[@user-fh1ss4mc2t]

amazing

[@ImpureVessel]

When you gotta be king but your mom’s baking cookies

[@slugintub2836]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="615">10:15</a> prepare for launch, 3... 2.. 1!!!

[@skrub_king]

dang 27 hours???? (I havent watched the video yet an ad is playing)

[@Patashu]

Nice! I assume still writing up submission notes?

[@KilayeFr]

Yes! I don't like that part, so... when I get the motivation.

[@tadeogomez7303]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="622">10:22</a> "Not the intended strat" You think????

[@OrbiouS]

Plague Knight be like:I'm gonna ruin this AI's whole speedrun

[@prestonlucy7205]

Thought you were gonna use the ghost glove or the frog bubble. but no you used the turncoat to Sonic your way throught the whole game

[@dracibatic2433]

would it be rude to request a tas of the minigames i think itd be cool

[@russ6541]

flexing so hard during the auto scrollers lmao

[@amir-razzak]

bro speedrunning and no hitting

[@veloxplayer098yeeeah7]

Showdown TAS

[@maverickhunterstupidiocy7779]

Is SK&ULT! considered cheating? I know it’s a cheat code, but I think it would make runs much faster.

[@craycrayg6219]

I think there is a cheat code category where you can use them
