The History of LEGO: Indiana Jones World Record Speedruns

To speed run a game means a lot of things, and to runners of LEGO: Indiana Jones, one word comes to mind: dedication. In this video, we're going to cover the 58 world records that brought this game down from over three hours, to just barely over an hour, with a little help from our friends.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video, you may enjoy my last LEGO speedrun analysis of LEGO: Batman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWavgHZ_jd1loKs

[@jacobjacksonsson9375]

as a request for you and many other people who make these videos, please balance the audio clips of the runners screaming. i like to watch these videos at night or as i go to bed and the giant changes in audio level make it hard to listen to your low voice.

[@HuntPlaysCoD]

I will beat it. Prolly not today or tmrw. But I will try my damndest to do so. If the record is reasonable ofc. Just repetition and muscle memory.

[@Siedemnastek]

Great video. Thanks for having us on for the interview!

[@bd1p]

this probably won’t be the last WR history you’re a part of LOL

[@AssJagger]

I like Lego games, not even because of nostalgia, but because they’re fun and relaxing

[@ryguy-qh2qk]

Whenever I play an older Tt games Lego video game, it just feels like they really cared about their work and what they where making you know? I feel like I’m playing a game that was made with passion and care, which is something you rarely feel nowadays with almost all games being made solely with profit in mind. I feel this way about many older games but the Lego games have a level of uniqueness that can’t be touched, and I will always love them for that.

[@BlizzardGamingReviews]

@@ryguy-qh2qk couldnt have said it better

[@StupidMarioBros1Fan]

"You can shake the Wiimote to speed up the process of certain actions like building objects" YOU CAN WHAT?!?!!!

[@Chimkin]

Yo, another awesome video! Can't wait to see the next one 👀

[@Tacticaldroidanimations]

Ain’t no way

[@AlexMaass]

alkamaass (the one who got 2:07:15 as a WR) here, so much nostalgia speedrunning this, I was able to beat prnced for a bit by just finding a bunch of new strats and also OOB stuff, I remember terming item duplication as drop duping and pickup duping, I was the one who discovered I think drop or pickup duping, crazy how low the record is now, I guess Wii was actually bad but it had the most tech/skips at the time so what's why we used it then

[@gingerlegendlive]

Chimkin is my hero

[@bd1p]

any truers?

[@raygrimes4000]

One of my favorite lego games here it was just so cool to me as a kid I still love the lego games there just so well made even if they glitch sometimes it's some of my favorite memories I have

[@stormhought]

most of the glitches just make the games better imo. I have fond memories of my dad getting into places with indy that only marion could jump into.

[@Gamago]

Yet another bd1p banger. Pleasure to help you with the video

[@nukman6969]

This is so good. I've been wanting one of these forever. LIJ is my favorite lego game

[@GoldenGolem444]

Nice pfp lmao

[@nukman6969]

@@GoldenGolem444 you too!

[@gustative]

what i thought chimkin was a tcs runner i saw him in the salt video

[@sagoson]

This is a great video! I really hope that the algorithm is nice to your channel and gets this content out to more people. In my opinion you emulated a summoningsalt type timeline video perfectly, and I was incredibly interested the whole time. definitely made me want to try out some of the easier tricks myself lmao. Keep up the great work!

[@Cobabler]

Chimkin is highly known for going far in speed running games and I’m happy to hear him running around still

[@AlienFan25]

Another person doing a good job at the whole nostalgia talk. Regardless how I think of the video, it's still good.

[@artemis_furrson]

This video is great. I watched Summoning Salt's Lego Star Wars vid and it inspired me to replay this game. I just 100% completed it today and went on KZbin to find this uploaded 2 days ago.

[@awesometomxd]

This is a great video! It follows summoning salts style very well while still being unique and different, and i look forwards to what you do in the future

[@notek0217]

Learned a lot of cool stuff! Been a pleasure skip hunting this game, hope to see more LIJ content in the future!

[@smkurki]

Nice video!

[@Sonicfan2117]

Summoning Salt would be proud

[@nicholasallen1711]

1 second in another banger I’ve been hooked since the Lego Batman timeline

[@expendableindigo9639]

I definitely remember being blown away by out-of-bounds/under the floor skips in 2009-2010 on KZbin. The one at 25:29 specifically. But I don’t know if they were used for speedruns yet.

[@64bittz93]

I restarted it like a couple of weeks ago. In less than 20 hours I’m almost 100%. I love that game, along with the first lego batman

[@ketaivaricolorshift6988]

"Punching the second character to death" is the best out of context line if u just start there

[@ComfyCherry]

44:20 I'd say the reason it works would be because the game would check every frame whether the player character's collision is intersecting with the wall and pushes you back from the wall enough that it no longer intesects, but when you alt tab to create lag there's a much longer gap between frames and the character movement speed is independent of framerate and the player character's colider ends up more on the out of bounds side of the wall (or the centerpoint of the colider is beyond the wall's collision) when the collision is calculated it still pushes you away from the wall but now that the player characer's colider is more on the out of bounds side so the game pushes you out of bounds rather than in bounds. not a dev but it interests me so I look up alot of stuff, if I'm wrong about this you can reply and let me know.

[@TheTurtleMelon]

Amazing video, that hour flew by!

[@bd1p]

not as good as the isaac we're about to record in an undisclosed amount of time

[@VortexKiller2]

My childhood nostalgia game is Lord of The Rings: Return of The King on PS2 and Spyro: A Heroes Tail (also on PS2)

[@vtninja_2906]

Well made video i was clueless of the pure beginning of this speedrun category, so thanks for clearing up information. I also found the Hill clip at 46:32 :)

[@sovietblobfish]

an improvement on your batman one imo, less caught up in the play by play of every single world record, and more concerned with the development of the speedrun and the longer term trends, nice work!

[@lucapooth1779]

I love your videos! Keep up the good work, man

[@elimann9989]

“This game is not perfect” makes video on just how perfect this game is. Amazing content tho keep it up

[@connorpearson7513]

my first time seeing this channel but really enjoyed this great video well put together and structured, entertaining and insightful commentary and cool game

[@Qebio]

Loved this summoningsalt inspired vid, honestly the best tied with my childhood game.

[@CurtisCreates]

So this is where your knowledge of Lego Indy speedrun tech came from. Well done video

[@eninn]

First Summoning Salt with LEGO Star Wars and now bd1p with Indiana Jones. Fan-tas-tic!

[@brendiesel386]

awesome lego indiana jones was always my fav legogame played them on my ps3

[@cookiedwag3413]

Haven't even watched the video yet and already know this is gonna be a banger. Love the content bd1p!

been waiting for this for a while

[@ghostyoda6171]

Imagine just doing a run just to be a second off the world record that would make me like scream

[@oxProductions]

love the vid, so much nostalgia

[@seadffsa]

rose tinted glasses? no i remember raging at these games as a kid due to bullshit, but i still had vastly more fun playing then than i do any game now. it's not just nostalgia. older games were simply better...

[@declanlewis60]

Great vid man

[@piotrm5635]

27:26 its basically something that you can do if you don t want to wasting your live time for openning the gate even when you are just playing the game casually

[@redallusions5608]

Loved this and the last history video about Lego Batman hope to see a Star Wars one soon

[@nxxdle_]

good video bro!

[@Bonnie_1045]

This video is awesome!

[@miser2570]

These lego games are not flawless, but god lord are they pristine gemstones in front of LEGO The Hobbit *shivers in every quick time event causing a game breaking bug, and being a literally unfinished game*

[@chavothemouse6687]

I remember doing these glitches as a kid on the wii version, I would always use the high jump to skip sections but I never thought you were never supposed to do it, I guess the wii version was just crazy like that.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Siiick. Turns out this Friday wasn't unlucky at all :)

[@emmet042]

So, I take it Chimkin loves food. Aside from mangos and marinara sauce.

[@charlesfawcett4178]

more, more summoning salt style videos! Please, they are the best videos on youtube

Summoning salt himself needs to cover it.

I really like the speedrunning of lego game you should lego pirates next

[@bd1p]

i will be covering that eventually, but the next video is a different game ;)

[@mcadminbro2139]

First game I looked for bugs in. Well of souls skip and trouble in the sky cutscene trigger are the best things I found I think. Didn’t really find well of souls though, only proved it was possible with an out of bounds

[@JuicyBlueWill]

I have read the name smkurki hundreds of times and never noticed the first k.

[@Mixu.]

69k views. Nice. Great video, got me itching to reinstall LIJ again hah.

[@KVVUZRSCHK]

17:40 "Ladies (and Robin and Nightwing) are more nimble and can jump higher" Wait what the fuck xD why is this in the Indiana Jones game

[@loltrope3266]

insane

[@FPSRunner]

At 9:12 you can see the graph has lines for 180 190 which wouldn’t be included in measuring time. I think that’s why later on the line moves in such a steep angle when only improving by a few minutes. Otherwise another great video

[@owenboi8488]

Did you know that shiny silver Lego objects can be destroyed by blowing them up?

[@based121]

I’ve watched a lot of ur videos, Lego games are so good and are dying more and more by the day. I hope people start to get into them more. Peace

[@Herragru]

Kurki is a one bird specie for Finnish😅

[@alextaitt5604]

my memories of these games must be on point, my favorite thing to do was perform a glitch that turned you into a plane and flew you into space until the game crashed, it would brick your wii for an entire day once achieved. if anyone knows how to perform this glitch PLEASE lmk as the last time i dusted the wii off i could not remember the entire sequence of glitches needed. it was on the same level as the well knows flying bus glitch (lost ark? i think) you could use a second player near the seaplane and a series of very rapid character switching and disconnecting while mounting the seaplane to trick the game into becoming the plane. after becoming the plane you loose any input and fly out of the skybox to space until the console detonates!

[@bd1p]

you’re thinking of LEGO: Indiana Jones 2, as there are no flying planes in this game

[@NickoTHPS]

indie really be trying to get artifacs before his enemies 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I grew up playing Lego games on my ds when I was a kid lmfao

Just what I needed. May not be SummoningSalt, but close enough. Thanks, homie.

I fucking love this game

[@LouisGuillotYT]

How can you perform the warp glitches when playing on keyboard ?

[@zbigniewmozdzierz7449]

40:08, how do we have such detailed screenshots with map geometry and triggers, is there some software for reading these maps from classic lego games?

[@bd1p]

yeah, it’s called brickbench but it only works for TCS and LIJ currently

[@zbigniewmozdzierz7449]

​@@bd1p Thanks for the response, I'm really glad for that, I will check this program out, this is sick. And I Love this and lego batman history video, really good work!

Its funny i cant look back to the past becuase i cant remember any off it

[@mrmcguru163]

theres a glitch i used to do all the time on lidaj 2 where I could glitch into being a car, wonder if any one else has come across it?

[@clovers-vintage-all-sorts]

Hey, so when I was a child, I played the PS2 version of this game and got a glitch to trigger where my character would become headless and somehow have a costume that could not be found anywhere else, he could also do every single character specific thing, like going through the short character doors, talking to the statues and, because he had a whip, he could do all of Indi's things too. But he would do all of these actions with no animations, just phasing through the doors and floating with the whip. Has anybody figured out how to activate that glitch intentionally?

[@Shadydoesit]

do u remember what u might have done to trigger the glitch? do u know if it keeps the character between levels?

[@clovers-vintage-all-sorts]

​@@ShadydoesitI was messing around with the custom character creator, then I went into the 3rd level in raiders and my character looked like Fedora from young Indy, but not exactly, and I had Indy's whip and Fedora's pistol, and I could enter the short character doors, in which he phased through the door with no animation. Also, afterwards, a separate glitch happened which forced every single character to have enemy guard hats, including custom characters, meaning everybody could access guard doors by default. (I was actually really annoyed by that as a child because I wanted my custom character to have a different hat)

[@neilsmith3293]

U should do one on Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 next

[@billswag3870]

Lego starwars the complete saga would be great for speed run history

[@rowan_like_the_tree]

if you're interested summoning salt has an hour and a half long video on it :)

[@buwgew]

i do not care what you say about lego games they are flawless and always will be flawless
